Madness

Everyone was rushing to complete their accounting project. My group was no exception. Due to the ambiguity of the project criteria, we ended up re-doing the project just days before the submission date. My god... pure madness. We spent uncountable hours working on it and come Thursday, we had no choice but to work through the night.

It was only at 2.30am did we complete the project. Sensed the overwhelming elation? So glad it was finally over. Packed up, went to Nat's hall while i waited for Ian. Nearly dozed off in the lounge. Hall residents surely sleep real late. At 3am, they were still playing "Game of Life". What the... i rather spend my time sleeping.

Mr. Nice Ian drove me home and he had to head back to Pasir Ris. Oops. Anyway, by the time i reached home, it was 4.30am. My brain was screaming for sleep. I woke up at 10.45am feeling groggy and oh-so-tired. The lethargy refused to leave me having been awake since 5.30am on Thursday morning. This is one stunt i never wish to try ever again.

Saturday:

Received news that another person from NTU committed suicide on Friday night. That's 2 deaths in less than a week. One is more than enough. Now with two... Board of NTU has lots to answer to.

Coincidentally, this guy was previously from EEE. He's a Chinese national who reported to work only on 2 March 2009. Just 4 days into his stint, he hung himself in his hostel.

Haiz... NTU is going to get famous for all the wrong reasons. With the Uni admission period opened, and local Unis vying for top students and all-rounders, these 2 deaths will in one way or another discourage some potential students from enrolling into NTU. What bad timing.

I feel sorry for President Su Guaning. He is definitely under tremendous stress over these two incidents. Of course, sympathises to the family of the dead as well. Unfortunate that these cases had to happen.

How upsetting when young promising adults lose the will to live...
