scholarship
i handed in my application for BSc(Honours) scholarship today.
there were 4 parts to it. 'A' just asks for the normal contact details.
'B' i have to write a 500 word summary, giving sufficient reason and evidence of my interest in Science; to convince them that I'm worthy of being given the scholarship. i initially wrote a lengthy life story of about 850 words, then chopped it down to 660.
'C' is reference from institution. which simply means that i should provide any testimonials if i could, to strengthen my chances of obtaining the scholarship. and i handed in a testimonial which i got while internship in GIS during my poly days; the other would be a reference from my supervisor which i did my summer research project with.
'D' would just be my academic transcript to go along.
so the situation now, is that my application and supporting documentation has been received at the Faculty office and will be assessed. once the application has been assessed, it will be presented to the Scholarship Selection Committee for consideration. i will be notified of the outcome when final decisions have been made.
wish me luck people.

Tiramisu
i must apologize to those who often come to my blog hoping to read something; only to be greeted by cobwebs from an un-updated site.
this post i'll try to touch on as many aspects as possible.
first up, are some pictures taken at around the end of April. yes, it's food again.
great tasting soup by Weiting. i think it's gotta be stewed for hours, and there's radish, carrots, chicken thigh with bone and yellow beans for that sweet flavor.
chicken whole leg marinated with herbs. bought from Coles (NTUC equivalent), for 90 cents.
this is simply the most marvelous food i have to blog about and give credit to.
introducing, the Tiramisu.
2 layers of espresso-and-Kahlua (coffee liqueur) soaked savoiardi (Italian sponge fingers), sandwiched between marscapone cheese beaten with eggs and sugar. topped off with cocoa powder and shaved chocolate for that extra delightful touch.
ate it for after dinner dessert for 2 consecutive days.
words cannot describe the feeling of eating it...
people, start making your tiramisu now.
all right. we have come to the wordy part of the post. time to keep avid readers updated.
i'll start with the weather. it's already autumn now. temperature has been averaging from 24 during the noons, to about 14 during nights. days are windy but dry, with strong UV coming from the sun. nights are also windy and temperature falls fast, sunset onwards.
i just had my mid sem exams last week. wasn't a tough ordeal, but still glad that it's over.
the end of sem exam timetable is out. i'll be having 2 papers. first one on the 15th, microbiology. next one would be on 24th, immunology. with 8 days apart, i feel like i can go sydney for a 4 day holiday and come back to study with the next 4. ok, i was just kidding...
so the last paper is on the 24th. and from that date on, i can go back to Singapore if i wanted to. however, there are still some uncertainties or circumstances i'll have to consider.
if i'm not wrong, the graduation ceremony would be on the 23rd july. so if i wanted to attend, i'll have to be back by then just to attend. and i've applied for honours and scholarship for honours. if i get it (the scholarship) or really do honours, it'll start soon after the graduation. or if there's nothing else, i can start almost immediately after.
so, there is the need for consideration to go back to Sg or not. the amount of time i have. and if i'm doing honours. if i'm not doing, then i would just hang aroung until the graduation, and afterwhich go back for good. start working, get married, have children and then die. ok... think too far. but basically, things are not very confirmed yet. i'll see how, and let you people know.
then again, i could just not go back at all. then see you guys at 2010 july. haha...
why don't anyone just find a reason and come visit me.
other than that which i've just mentioned, all is fine.
been going to the gym very often, about 5 days a week. improvements in strength but not in build or weight. bench press is now 22.5kg per side. deadlifts, 35kg per side. squats just 20 per side so as not to have thunder thighs. 20kg dumbbells for shoulder press. the rest are just minor exercises.
still single... but lovin' it.
