It's been a few weeks, near to a month since school started. More or less settled down with our individual timetables, lecture and tutorial groups. So far, I have attended half of my tutorial groups and have met the people there. Nice people I would say but still, I love EA1101 group the best. Now left with the Biology, Chinese Studies, Chinese Biz and Industry tutorial groups, but seriusly speaking, I am not looking forward to it any bit. :( Still, I was late for my FIRST econs tutorial by 15 - 20mins? Okay, you cant blame me entirely for not keeping to the clock. The traffic jams on the road were enough to drive me, the bus driver and the other passengers, nuts. Darn the stupid ERP gantries, it didnt improved the road conditions depsite the increasing quantities on the roads. I hope the government can really do something about it. K. I side-tracked. Back to econs tutorial. yup. So first I was late for class, and then I couldnt find my tutorial class room. So when I finally found the room and sat in, the tutor was sucky, with a foreign asscent, and unable to clarify the concepts clearly. Oh yes, and SHE was late for the subsequent tutorials. Been officially selected to be in the Ushering team as a trainee and have gone through 2 training sessions already, challenging I would say but it should be enjoyable in the tough process. Get to know really fun girls there. haha. Esabellah, Sarah, Pam, Berny, and lotsa more.
Will stay hopeful and take things in my stride.
Hi peeps. Back with some Updates. School started offically last week and I wasnt as excited as I thought I would be. Lots of independent learning and readings. With NO more naggings and scoldings from the lecturers, we're all on my own now. I miss the times when we were spoon-fed in secondary schools. I miss the times when we were guided in junior colleges. I wonder if I will miss the independent learnings in uni when I'm out to work. haha.
Life's just so full of ironies, well, I dont know for most peeps out there, but it is for me definitely. I'm ironic person. Quoting from another blog where I give my acknowledge to here, I'm a "walking contradiction". Just an update of the modules I will be taking for the next 6 months - Chinese Studies (Literature/History), Chinese Biz & Industry, Economics, General Biology, Comms & New Media. Some think that I am mad. Well, maybe I am. Chinese, for the first time in my life, feels daunting and demanding. It's time I should step out of my comfort zone and be strong willed enough to deal with setbacks and mistakes. I cant always be receiving the good ends in my life isnt it?
There have been times whereby I feel going to NUS and rejecting NTU was a hell of a wrong choice. But come to think again, this is only my first week. Am I being too pessimistic? haha. Perhaps cause the stupid bidding and balloting systems irritate me too much. Will be joining Kendo, Ushering or Choir I suppose. Two of the mentioned.
And mind you people. I do lead a decent life. I watch movies. Haha. Watched "Money Not Enough 2" twice, with my family and marcel respectively. Not because I loved the movie but for two simple reasons: I need some break and laughter injected in my life before I start shooting curse and swears at peeps. The movie was fine. Touching. Funny. Not very Sarcastic. ERP: Every Road Pay. The english sounds broken, but still acceptable. Singaporeans should ,more or less, be able to catch the jokes and sarcasm made in the movie. As for the foreigners, I am not too sure with that. The jokes are crafted and made for Singaporeans. And that may be the reason why the local movies here in Singapore were never able to reach for the global entertainment market.
One last thing before I end my entry for the day. A phrase from the movie, deeply etched to my mind: 头大无脑, 脑大生草.
Dance
as though no one is watching
Love
as though you've never been hurt before
Sing
as though no one can hear you
Work
as though you don't need the money
Live
as though tomorrow never comes
I have never been so embarrassed in my life before.
I actually failed my BTT.
I think i am the only one in that group who failed it. Which is damn irritating. Like fine. I will take it again! Till I passed it. Bloody hell.
Not in a real good mood now. Shall end my blog here. Pissed.
