National Science Challenge

What you did during the IPMun lecture was absolutely preposterous. Just because you think that Model United Nations is boring doesn't mean everyone else does. I think that you need to show more respect for the opinions of other people.

This morning I met a friend walking down the main staircase of the old block in the morning, on the way to look for a teacher. I was in a hurry. I think I was quite curt and rude. I'm really sorry :(

I also take back what I said (at discovery centre taxi stand) about politics, cos I realized that United Nations counts as politics. I might do politics after all. I duno. 

Sigh. NCDCC in their typical last minuteness has yet again changed the course dates for S/NCO course. Meaning I cancelled my RMun application for nothing. And now I also have to cancel my iMun application. I now have a bad reputation with MunSoc, and they have sent me an email expressing their upset and disappointment with me. I am as upset about this whole thing as they are. Worst of all this is an inter-school competition, and this just screws up ACS's iMun delegation. 

Some people can be so last minute, so tardy, so simply buffoonic that it exceeds completely the realm of human understanding. And they still expect people to sacrifice other commitments for them. They are so stubborn, so selfish, so obstructionist that one begins to wonder if they were invented as a means to quantify the human patience. 

And no. I simply refuse to apologize for those comments. 

Anyway I spent whole of Saturday night crying cos I was freaking upset about the fact that they always ask me to sacrifice everything else. (thanks Lucas for caring enough to listen, that one gesture of friendship meant everything to me, you are one of the few really awesome people :)..... ) I came to a most productive conclusion. Priorities are priorities. After this whole matter is settled, I'm not going to sacrifice anymore anything that means everything to me. Ever. Period. Disagree? Go home. i.e. That means academics, science research, A* National Science Challenge etc. all take priority over this. 

So when stuff clashes, I'll go for the one that means more to me. I utterly refuse to attend things when I am told so last minute. Friends don't even need to be mentioned, because when a friend needs me, that takes precedence over everything.

A* National Science Challenge qualifier round was today. It was awesome :D Our presentation on sound involved bursting three balloons. There were other very noisy things also. I think we unsettled the judges. A lot. XD

The studio lights are super hot. I don't remember a studio being like that. The last one I was in, when I was on stage for the Watabushi Festival, I remember I was freezing.

Anyway, all the credit goes to my AWESOME team :)
