Let me just write this post out to always remember how i feel before it is forgotten (if there is a chance of doing so...)

The 2nd exhibition was held in NUS.... university hall... so if you read exhibition, the part where i said i was in a dilemma about whether to go or not... well i didn't go... my other 2 partners in my project went to mount the poster on Friday.. and my mentor also went there to guide them in some parts of the exhibition and help us a lot in the questions.. Well i did lose a lot, because from what i heard from my partners, my mentor said a lot of stuffs that day.. but... the chemistry pract i had in school was also very important.. not the part where we get scolding from my civics tutor about the class skipping LL (cultural studies aka Chinese).. the knowledge she imparted us that day was IMPORTANT... i learnt about the practical and understand much much better.. okay so i can't really tell where i lose more.. ^^

anyway, my partner R sent me an email telling me most of the things my mentor told us... so it was alright... anyway went to NUS on Saturday i.e. today... and we decided that i dont speak... well i was afraid i made mistakes and jeopardize our slimmest chance of winning even merit.. so for all the judges, my partners explained to them.. i went to ask the one in charged about how many judges we were suppose to expect and she told me quite a number... i understood what it means after the exhibition.. the judges were suppose to decide on the top six and then judge the 6 again.. i.e. the others that are not in top 6 will only be judged 3 times.. ya.. my partners each spoke 3 times.. so we are in the top 6.. i was consoling them.. at least we're in the top 6.. LOL.. there was actually no merit award... only nickel palladium and platinum, so we thought the merit came out by the judges on that day were meant for us at least we were hoping it was meant for us... LOL

ya anyway back to the part.. we were all sitting in the presentation hall... okay everyone is suppose to get COPs ya and i went up the stage to get it... and became a laughing stock.. because from what i heard, my actions seem to be snatching the certs from the presenter.. LOL.. so ya... okay so lets fast forward a little.. after that.... senior category merit> HC, nickel> HC (if i'm not wrong) HOPES DOWN... next palladium, TP... HOPES CRUSHED... my whole group were expecting platinum to go to HC but the MC went s9 jurong junior college...

i was like wondering what that means... and my mind was like whose group is that? what's our group? are we s9? and i turned to my friend to ask.. and then we realised it is us... us.. we won the 1st prize.. and even though they say 1 representative, our whole group scrambled down to the stage.. ^^ stepping on some legs on the way... and all the way i am like saying sorry sorry sorry sorry... then we went up... i can't even smile properly, my mouth were like twitching LOL... okay ya so after that we went to thank all the judges and of course our mentor... then we went to the reception..

seriously i didn't expect this to happen and i was utterly stunned at that point of time.. during that time i presented to a guy who wanted to know more about our project, one of the judges' research associates..as usual i was stumbling with all the words.. haha but it's okay! it's over.. they also mentioned that we can use their labs to further our research.. =)

then we went Swenson to celebrate... R's treat.. okay R's mum.. thanks a lot!!!!

last but not least even though some of them will not read my post... i will still like to extent my deepest gratitude to the following people:
J. K. (our mentor)
the Judges
Ms A.T.
my partners in the project... R and XY
friends who are there to support me in whatever i do

note to partners:
I would also like to say sorry for the troubles i caused over this long period of time... like not being able to make it at times... and making you all speak due to my low level of confidence and lousy ability to express myself properly in front of strangers...
and also thank you for putting up with all my craps and rubbish... appreciate it.. thanks guys.. and once again congratz.. we did it! =)
