holy crap!

this sem has turned out to be a very very very busy one. projects abound, tough things to try to absorb, and gotta figure out a new study time because i spend about 1.5 to 2 hours everyday on the road now. that's damn tiring. and i don't have an extended period where i can just sit down and study now. i at most have 2 hours here and there, but nothing solid. damn...

i picked up 2 interesting quotes over the past 2 days of lecture. the first came from my maths lecturer. he said...

"that's the interesting thing about maths. sometimes you may learn but you may not realise"

oh well... i guess that's true to a certain extent. another quote, i picked up from my friend after going through an hour and a half of thermo lecture.

"i feel like stabbing myself."

i guessed that sums it all up

back to the old school...

headed back to cj today, with the intention to play volleyball and to enjoy some good ol' cj canteen food. it was really hot today, but we still played for a while under the grandstand. and my god we can still play!!! hahaha by we i mean me, wendy, tini and cheryl. i was damn surprised cheryl came, because i haven't seen her since december! hahaha it didn't dawn on me that she's back until she sat in the car for like 2 minutes hahaha so it's like she was never really gone. maybe that's because i don't usually see her for long periods of time anyway =p and miss many yong! told us in the morning that the canteen was closed! so we were all kind of bummed out. but after volleyball, we decided to go to the canteen to buy some ice cold drinks from the vending machine, and lo and behold, the yong tau foo stall was open!!! along with 2 other stalls that we've never bothered about! hahaha clar came along just as we sat down under the fan to cool down, so the 5 of us enjoyed cj yong tau foo together =) it was nice! the person who runs the stall has changed, but it still brought back some memories. but i think the sad thing was, there were some kids who actually stayed back after the national day celebrations to study in the library. yes i know the A levels are coming, but come on... take a break la!!! those were probably the ones who were gunning for scholarships. well i'm sure all their hard work will pay off, but it pays to relax too.

after that it took us a while to figure out where to go, and we finally decided to go to tini's house! never been there before! dropped her off at home a handful of times, but never been inside. on the way to tini's house we dropped cheryl at home for her tennis lessons. at tini's place i figured out indian poker, and we played asshole daidee until 430. it was damn funny. got videos of forfeits for indian poker on wendy's phone. catch tini and wendy doing pushups, and all 4 of us doing starjumps hahaha totally random stuff. it was a simple and relaxing day =)

i got some funny elective for next sem. technologically speaking. well... honestly speaking i don't know what it's about. it was my third choice, and i only put it down for 2 good reasons. first, i needed to apply for at least 3 PEs to get priority, and second, it didn't clas with any of my cores, which i have no choice but to take. so i got this funny thing, and i have to decide fast whether i want to drop it or not, because add/drop period will be here soon and it won't be hanging out for long. but i most probably will s/u it. just hope i get S!

getting some jitters about starting school again. i'm taking the not-so-conventional route, for once in my life. i managed to get into the design stream, which only a small number of each cohort get into. so i don't really know what to expect, but i know what i hope to achieve at the end of it. somehow i feel like i'm starting uni all over again. if i stayed in mainstream i wouldn't be as worried hahaha oh well... stepping out of my shell is something i don't do too often, but i think it'll do me good =)

INSTEP/GIP?

school's going to start soon, and i've been getting emails about overseas study programmes. i'd like to go for one of them, but looks like will have to put alot of effort into finding out whether there are courses that suit what i want to take there. i'm aiming to go in the second semester. will have to find out more about them first. main target is the US. mainly because i speak the language! hahaha going to europe will be harder cos the better technological universities are either in germany or switzerland, which will pose a big language problem for me =p
