Managed to squeeze in a little time to blog before heading off to work later at 10pm.

It's been a pretty busy week for me compared to my usual standards. My project has been moving forward and backwards so much that I'm starting to get panicky. So many things have not been finalised especially my designs. It's like trying to make progress without a plan and along the way there are so many complications and mistakes. Like the other day, I went down to the industrial estates in Jurong to purchase two stainless steel rods and ball bearings. Today I find out that the rods bend under a heavy load. One of the Technical Support Officers (TSO) was kind enough to explain that solid metal will always bend more compared to hollow pipes. So I have to go down and purchase another set of hollow pipes and another set of bearings to fit. Which by the way aren't cheap. The bearings cost about $70 for 4 pieces. At least the school is paying for it, but what a waste of time isn't it?

Got back my results today. I passed all my modules which is a good thing and my GPA was 2.23. Highest I ever achieved in school so far. I got a B for my FYP1 which really lifted my spirits but next semester's FYP2 is worth 15 credits compared to FYP1 of 5 credits. I have to work triple hard now. The project must work. It must, it must, it must, otherwise I'll be a failure and an embarrassment.

I didn't get to see Esther much this week. I only saw her for about an hour last night when she came to pick me up after work at AMK. I sent her home quickly because her sister would get really mad if she came home late. We have a movie date tomorrow but the both of us have to work after that, so again its only for a few short hours (can't wait!! =) ) . Next week is going to be hell week for me.

Monday (Public Holiday): No plans.
Tuesday: Work at OYP 6 - 11pm
Wednesday: Work at AMK 6 - 11pm
Thursday: Work at AMK 6 - 11pm
Friday: Work at F1 8 - 8pm
Saturday: Work at F1 8 - 8pm
Sunday: Work at F1 8 - 8pm

I wish I could see you more often. You're like my energy source. Everytime I see you and when I'm with you, I forget all my problems and my stress just slips away. I'm happy, refreshed and full of energy. But the both of us have to work because money doesn't come our way that easily. I hope I get to see you on Monday before my hell week starts.

I'm going to make sure that the week after that I'm going to make myself as free as possible so I get to see you. I miss you so badly you know?
