happening week

this will probably be the most happening week i'll have in my first year in ntu.

on tuesday went to meet t19 to eat at the coffeeshop at holland drive. after tt went to haagen daaz at holland v for some ice cream. kept wanting to eat the you tiao cos it was nice. got back to hall abt 1130? did a chem tut before heading to bed.

last night many came to visit ntu. we went for a run. i died on the slope. haven't run that way for damn long. usually only run 3.6km. so ya... i died. damn jialat. had dinner at my hall canteen, where koon and many were getting high on guessing whose food would come first. while they were getting high, clar and i already finished our dinners =p since the function hall hadn't opened yet, went to koon's room for a while, since the girls hadn't been there before. their room has like 10k worth of equipment more than mine. i think my room is probably the barest in the whole of ntu halls. no fridge. no tv. no laptop. hardly anything in our cupboards. the most expensive thing i have there is probably... my maths textbook hahaha my legs cramped up during badminton, probably cos i didn't stretch after the run. but still managed to play a few games. left early to have a shower since we were gg out for supper. went to ah lian, where we talked about the ah lians there for a while =p did alot more talking than eating. really talked about alot of things. only possible in smaller groups i guess. on the way back in ntu, i drove many's manual car for a while. i was really very happy that i could still drive a manual car quite smoothly. the roughest part was when koon slapped the dashboard and i did an e-brake on a slope. my first time hahaha and the car didn't stall. only "casualty" during that process was clar. for some reason her shoulder really hurt after that. don't know why. went through 1.5 chapters of chem before i went to sleep.

tonight i'll be meeting most of the guys from my signals course who are also studying in ntu, for dinner. in total there should be 11 of us in ntu. not bad. that's about 1/4 of my entire batch's size hahaha hopefully tonight i'll be able to finish one more chem tut. and maybe get started on my next physics tut.

exams in 5.5 weeks. i've been doing more consistent work this sem as compared to last sem, but i really don't know if it's going to be enough.

why do i get the feeling like she thinks she's the only one studying, even though i've been working since week 2 of january. what's there to get upset about? i've set my study timetable, and thus far i'm still sticking to it, very well. somehow i don't think she's very happy about our new agreement, even though she says she is. last night, she wanted to go to sleep because she had to wake up early this morning. like 6am kind of early. so i ended our conversation and hung up so that she could sleep, but then she got upset because she thought that i didn't want to talk to her. uhhh... so what exactly does she want? sometimes i really don't know. but please don't take it out on me no matter how stressed you are from studying. afterall... your exams are further away than mine. getting on each others' nerves doesn't help the situation. we're in this together. we'll get out of this together.

somebody told me...

no where to go but forward. i believe this will work out. you won't regret it

one week before friday the 13th

it wasn't a good day for a few people i know. many, clar and i all went through bad tests. the only good thing is that i don't think i'm the only one that found my chem test hard. 10 mcqs in 20 minutes? rush like crazy man. but rushing meant not being able to think properly. so that didn't work out too well in the end. oh well... tomorrow night guitar heroes to rejuvenate me for the coming week i guess. something different than staring at black and white sheets of paper all day long. doesn't help that my calculator is kind of grey too. then again... so is my phone, my pencil box, my socks... hmmm...

something my physics tutor told us. which does apply sometimes i guess.

"whenever you don't know the answer, just put 0." har har har

chem & superpowers

just finished doing another set of online chem assessments. since i've decided not to buy the textbook, at least i managed to find another source of questions for me to try. got some i don't know how to do so i'm gg to interrogate my neighbour later. both of them took chem at A levels hahaha whereas me and my roomie... physics maths econs =p so he can't really help me as much in this area

was talking to my roomie last night before i went to bed about... what kind of superpower would i want the most. after watching all the x-men shows and heroes and stuff like that, i think what i'd like most is the ability to healing factor. imagine... never having to worry about cuts and broken bones getting infected. everything gets healed in an instant. just make sure you don't get shot in the head and you'll probably live for a very very long time. then we kind of talked about whether, with the healing ability, we would ever grow old and die. because technically your cells can regenerate so fast, that anything that's damaged will be replaced in a flash. my roomie chose the ability to fly. that'd be cool too, but if were to choose an ability where i could go to places conveniently, i'd choose the ability that the guy in the movie 'Jumper' had. just seeing the place in a picture will be more than enough for you to teleport there instantly. no more traffic jams, no more erp hahaha

then we moved on to how the ability to read peoples' minds like professor X could, and the ability to look into the near future. like just an hour. i guess being able to see into your near future is alot less invasive. depending on the kind of power you hold in society, the most i would be able to do with that ability is to prevent myself from falling down or getting into any accidents. the really cool thing about being able to see into the near future is that you can be king of one-man sports! like boxing, badminton, tennis and so on. you will be able to read your opponent in advance, with an infinite amount number of possibilities and just take him out in a couple of minutes! hahaha how cool would that be man...

but the thought of being able to read other peoples' minds is really quite scary. aside from the fact that it's really... really tempting to do it, you might be able to use words to twist that person you're targeting. because you know how he thinks and you know what he wants, so it's possible to manipulate people in that way. of course it all depends on how smooth you are with words. but between these 2, i'd rather see the future hahaha even if for 5 minutes =p at least you'll know beforehand if something really bad is going to happen to you or someone close to you, and maybe can do something to prevent it.

i feel like playing guitar heroes again. aahhh!!!! exams in 5 weeks!!!

laptopless

since i don't bring my laptop into hall anymore, i've decided to use my hall's comp room. the msn is a damn freaking old version, and typing on this keyboard is really noisy, so it's a bit embarrassing if i press too hard, but no matter how lightly i try to press it's just damn noisy =p

i'm not here to waste time. i'm supposed to be doing chemistry. so i guess i better go do chemistry hahaha
