Gokusen

Have no idea how to title this blog entry. Anyway, thought of blogging after watching the final episode of Gokusen 2. Really recommend this drama series to you all. It is really inspiring. Wish I have a teacher like Yamaguchi sensei. On second thoughts, I have found teachers like that character. In high school, Mrs Raja Letchumy was the teacher who always supports me even though she had to repeat the thoeries many times before I truly understand them.

While at ADP Taylor's, met Miss Mary who inspired me to be vocal about human rights and women's issues, Mrs Parvinder who always encouraged me to be positive about myself and Miss Ng Mei Peng who always talked to me as an equal and I have learnt a lot from each of them. Now that I am in University, Professor Bob Mead and Professor Bernie Dell are the ones I can really talk to. I have known Bob since my first semester here and I think I always see him when I am down and have ideas up my sleeves. I really think my ideas add wrinkles to his face. Haha ... I know Bernie since last semester. I think he really reminds me of my dad. He provided me with an honours topic to work on based on my best interests. Hopefully it all work well with my honours. Thank you very much, my dear teachers.

In Gokusen, the students Yamaguchi sensei had are really delinquents or the bad apples of the school. But still she made them proud of themselves for being able to graduate their high school. Since last Friday when I sat for my Molecular Genetics exam, I have been in the dumps because I really know that I won't do well for it. Right now I am telling myself that a pass is all I wanted for this unit. However earlier I was thinking to myself whether do I really deserve this Bachelor of Science that Murdoch is awarding me. Why do I think so? Well, in these 2 and a half years, I have not obtained good results for my science units. But now that I really think about it, I do deserved the degree. I have worked hard to get every marks. I have given my best for all of them, even when I encountered units that I do not particularly like.

Right now, I have putting all my energy into writing a good literature review and a good report for my ISC. I have worked hard on this genotyping project related to osteoporosis. Sure there are times I am frustrated for having to travel for an hour to get to the hospital and then another hour back. However, I really learnt a few things about working in a hospital and myself. I now know what do I really want to discover for my career. This might change as I gain more experiences. About myself, well after facing the elderly patients every time I was at the hospital, I know I want to cherish my parents more and more. Knowing this now made me feel really stupid for thinking that my home country is a place I do not want to return just because I have memories, mainly of him. But now, I have accepted these memories and know that home is where my family is. So I really can't wait to be back! =D
