5th day

Today is the last day of my first week of poly life. One word to sum my first week all up? AWESOME haha. Seriously, awesome. Well alright firstly, I'm starting to enjoy poly life. I know it seemed hectic during the first few days but now, I learn the tips and tricks already. So yeah, and studying with Weiping and Candy is never not fun.

Firstly I learn that I HAVE to read before entering my class. This would ensure that I won't be so lost during lectures. Secondly, review my work. I have and I must review them after class. Well at least not continuously but well like one day after, and so on. Thirdly, play hard, rest well and enjoy life. That's it :)

But most importantly will be time management.

Anyway so many dates I have not update eh. Alright so basically we started learning Biochem. Which is a very fun module to me, even though it may be quite confusing. Dr Elangovan, our lecturer is one awesome lecturer!

And we learnt ONOW, which is taught my Mdm Mah. Guess what, she's the one who interviewed me for my DPA! And she's my personal tutor. And she remembered me and Candy so we are happy.

And let me see... Not so much for practicals as they are either cancelled, or just briefing cause we have not received out lab coat yet. So we've been enjoying "early" days and long hour break days but well, they are all gonna change from next week onwards. Oh great.

Oh, I have also....

Decided to join band! Thanks to the guy who played the trumpet today which I can hear clearly from across the field. It made me feel like seriously joining band. Cause his playing was so nice. And also thanks to my ipod and Youtube. Of their constant playing of my favourite song.

Right I'm very sleepy now so... See ya all then! I need to seriously change my sleeping pattern to prevent me from sleeping in class. Dangerous eh. Alright see ya!

In this world of vanity we're living in. Oh well.

Get my ass

Time to pace up with my life

Get my ass to work!

Right, second day of poly life. One word to sum it up? Tiring. Again! Haha. Well maybe I'm just not used to this new life I'm having. It's so different from secondary school. When we have to move in just a 1 - 4 floors down and walk a few metres to the next class. Now I have to walk like quite a bit of distance from one lecture/tutorial to another. How awesome?

And today I met with Mr Mole Concept again. Oh God, I can't believe we meet again Mr Mole Concept. I have to brush up more on my triple sciences seriously. Thank God I don't have Physics (I think). And well after my Chem class, I had a 4.5 hours break! And Candy, Weiping and I headed to the library. WP did her math while Candy and I studies. We're so hardworking haha.

Oh well I seriously feel I have to start studying as soon as possible. And I totally regretted throwing all my notes. Damn, shouldn't have given them all to my juniors. It's time to buckle up and study! Yes! :D

After school, guess what. I walked home from SP! Within 28 minutes. Well I don't know the way back home (by walking) all I know is that there is a way, somehow somewhere somewhat. And with the help of my Nokia Maps (first time using it) I managed to find the way out hoho. A good exercise (cause I sweat a lot) but I won't do it so often, it's quite a far distance :/

Alright that' all for today. I'm sleepy again so it's time to sleep. Morning class tomorrow. Whew, must get used to it, must get used to it. Ciao~!

When your life is new, well. Get on with it!

First day

A new beginning

And I wish and pray for a wonderful ending :)

So well, today was the first day of my poly life. And well to sum it all up in one word. It was tiring haha. Well maybe it was due to my sleeping late last night. I slept at 2.30 and woke up at like 8.30. Supposed to wake up at 8 but yeah.

Anyway met Weiping at 9.30 cause I wanna print out some stuff first before heading to class. In the library, wow, there are like lots of people printing notes, timetables etc. Hectic first day for them too I suppose. After printing headed to FC4 to eat and then headed to class.

First class was critical reasoning skill. Totally reminded me of ESS. The teacher is fun, and I gotta know my class for the first time. I'm glad they are pretty open and not those quiet ones who "don't accept" me cause I'm being an extra. Oh well I'm so happy.

Next was Mathematics A (I think). I was so tired and sleepy cause I went to have lunch before that lesson. Gosh I couldn't stand it! But well I didn't fell asleep thankfully. This time, I the class reminds me of Mr Sia lesson and F&L. Oh well, I survived her lesson. Oh she's fun too!

Lastly it was Basic Immunology. Oh wow it's totally Bio haha. I love Bio so enjoyed the class pretty much. Was a chance for me to refreshen up my memories about Bio since it's been what... 6 months since I didn't touch them? So yup.

Before heading home went to print more stuff with Candy. Haha and Candy did something funny! Somehow she changed her setting to print in A3 size paper. And it's like totally huge haha. Damn funny. But she re-printed. And oh we also bought our textbook :)

Alright currently I'm very sleepy. I mean really sleepy. So yup. I wanna head to bed. Gonna wake up early tomorrow too. See ya then!

Hope this new beginning, will have a smooth and fabulous path to follow.

Naaaaiiiissseeeee

Awesome days, are awesome.

Love today, love today!

Whew, I just had a wonderful cab ride home. Seriously, a naaaaiiiissseee cab ride home. Anyway tell you the story later. I went out with Jes and Neal again today. But this time we went to Clarke, not the usual place (like Orchard or etc haha).

Anyway went to eat lunch at Clarke with my sis in the afternoon. It was a nice ba kut teh, seriously nice haha! And the best part, you can top up the soup! And then we headed to Orchard to do some shopping. And I am looking for the OST CD of How to Train Your Dragon! Damn it is not out yet. But the funny thing is, the OST for Clash of the Titans is out. Weird.

Went to do more shopping. Got myself two pair of pants, two books (yay) and some others. I'm looking for pants anyway, for my poly hehe. Kind of weird to wear the same set of pants for a long time isn't it.

While my sis went home, I headed to Clarke to meet them. Errr I waited for thirty minutes for Neal, and we waited a few minutes for Jes. But never mind haha. Went to Settlers' cafe but it was fully booked. And somehow somewhat Neal's booking was not received. So we headed to Central cause Neal had not ate his dinner.

Then we decided to walk along the river. Thanks to Jes who brought me to those nice-to-take-picture places haha. And we had our first (maybe) experience to buying a Turkish Ice Cream! The man is so funny! So was Jes. But seriously, I made a fool out of myself there like seriously. And people were laughing at me. Oh my God!

And we took pictures, walk, took pictures and walk and chatted at the end. About the title of this post, I made this random (seriously random) posture of saying nice. Neal and Jes found it so funny that they made it like my "signature" nice move haha. And decided to take bus number 2.80 home. Figure out yourself :P

Now lets talk about my naiiiiissseee cab ride home. So basically, the route goes like Bukit Ho Swee --> Bukit Batok --> Ulu Pandan. I told the uncle to go by Jalan Jurong Kechil (JJK), and I think he interpreted "GO to Jurong Kechil". So at the end of JJK he asked me where to stop. I'm like huh? So I told him go straight.

Then we came across a junction. If I turn right, I'll go to Clementi Road (which is where I should go) and if I go straight I'll go to BKE (WRONG WAY). And I said go straight. Oh well, I'm so dumb dumb. But anyway he exited through Eng Neo Avenue and then through 6th avenue and yeah. I'm so glad I'm home. Was kind of freakish at that moment.

Alright that's all for this naiiiisssee day! Pictures on Facebook tomorrow, lazy and tired tonight haha. Ciao!

I'm happy that we still can meet up. 4 years of friendship. And counting on.

Flag day

Reach the sky, like you reach the heavens.

Need to go for a photography session bad :(

Today was flag day. And uhh "business" was bad for me haha. Let me tell you the whole story.

Met with 1B22 at Outram and we headed out to start our flag day. Russ, Jian Ming, Stanley, Ka Yee and I went together and we decided to split. I didn't know where we went but well I was circling around Chinatown area. Let me tell you my route.

First I went to Outram, then to Chinatown, then to Clarke, then back to Outram and then I decided to walk around Chinatown for I don't know how long. Well I firstly thought that it was a brilliant idea to do that. And it was a good strategy. Well not for long haha.

Met Justing, Gary and Thwe Ni in which I took a break then. Thwe Ni was also having no luck like me too. Ashley called and I decided to meet with him. And let me tell you something super hilarious!

At first place Ashley and I decided to walk back to Outram. So I "lead" him back and guess what. We made a huuuuuuge circle and we walked back to the same place we started! It's so funny and tiring at the same time. And now we have to walk back to Chinatown to go by Ashley's way. And well it worked haha. Sorry Ash!

Met Russ, Stan and a new friend Amir hehe at Outram. We decided to head for lunch before continuing and we decided to go to Macdonald. Ate and talked for a while before we decided to go head back to Outram and try our luck again. I decided to stop while Russ and Amir continued doing flag day.

And now let me tell you what I've learnt from flag day. Do NOT JUDGE people by their looks. Somehow it is those aunties and uncles who are kind enough to donate to us, instead of those middle-aged people. And those businessmen and Caucasians are also the same. I was so impressed by some of the uncles and aunties I've met.

One uncle donated 4 times. Twice to me and twice to Ash. He said one for me, and one for you. An auntie APPROACHED me to donate instead of me approaching her. And she even told me that that was her fifth time donating. And Indian uncle shouted at me (I thought I was going to get scolding) and... Took out a coin to donate me.

And? Most of the middle-aged people donated to me, while others simply "diao" me or rolled their eyes at me or best one: Ignored me totally, without a smile, a head-shake, a no-signal, nothing.

And all I could do is to smile at them. Somehow I wonder, I think the only people who deserve my smile and my thank you are those who either refused to donate politely and most importantly, those who have donated to me!

But anyway, I'm not angry or whatsoever cause I've learnt the morale behind flag day.

Since flag day is a charity act in which we raise funds for those in need, I learnt that it is important to help them. Flag day is like symbolism to me. The act of flag day is like a symbol of how hard it is for those who are in need to earn money. Especially in this difficult time. So somehow I don't mind doing flag day, cause at least I know I'm helping someone somehow somewhere :D

Alright that's all for today. Last day of orientation for me tomorrow. International Student Orientation haha. Going there with Sem, Kelvin and Thwe Ni. Not sure about the rest. Hopefully it's gonna be awesome fun! See ya

It's not how much you give. It's hoe much you're willing to give.

Done!

Hopefully tomorrow's weather will be breezy and nice :)

Love skies and winds.

Firstly...

Happy 400th post my dear blog! You've done well in bearing with my rants and complaints and anger and more. But well you made my life more meaningful with this haha.

Anyway.

I'm FINALLY done with my enrollment stuff! and I'm officially an SP DBS student! :D

But well uhh I checked my SAS and they say I'm in 1A/02, but I went to blackboard and they say I'm not enrolled yet. So... Which one is correct haha. Oh well I'm kind of sad to leave my 1B22 class. I made so much friends there and now I'm leaving? That is sad. But well Thankfully I have Weiping in 02 so not so lonely.

Anyway today was alright. Got my lab coat already. I took XL and I'm still wondering whether I should have taken L instead. L fits me nicely but Dr Tan says I have to get one size larger, since I'm using it for three years. So well, kind of ban xin ban yi haha.

After enrollment went to eat with Wei Ping, Candy and Kennedy. And then headed to Colours to study! Weiping, Ashley and I stayed to do prep maths together. While the others went to catch a movie in the library. Gosh I realised I have to brush up on lots of things huh. Bio, Maths and more. I love studying with them, and we have more studying session soon :D

And headed home and yeah that's all so far for today. Went to Popular to get some stuff on the way out haha. And oh, met lots of Tanglin people today. Somehow...

Tomorrow's my flag day! And I'm soooooo excited. Yeah. So. Hahaha. Anyway umm hopefully gonna have a good time during flag day. I enjoyed doing it so long I have friends with me haha. Well at least it won't be so boring right. Alright see ya all then :)

Life is never fair. Gotta remember that.

Rain

We may not be perfect. But we're beautiful in one way or another.

Then I don't understand why people can't accept one another.

Righto, yesterday and today were the FOP programmes basically. Yesterday was the Freshmen orientation and today was SPICE training and bonding session day. Uhh not bad for both, made new friends and bonded with the people of 1B/22. But!

I'm freaking class-less and it totally sucked. I mean, totally.

Firstly, on the first day itself we (Candy and I) have no class. We have no idea where to go, which class to go to and stuff. And when we approached the counter we straightly told them that we were class-less. And they were shocked, and we were smiling. Arrrgh.

Secondly, today. We couldn't do anything much for the SPICE training. Why? Cause we have not enrolled! Like again. We couldn't do our CLS declaration, can't do this, can't do that. Oh well yeha I'm glad that we have learnt about SPICE. But still?

Thirdly. I seriously have no idea why we have to go through the bonding session with the people of 1B/22 when we might actually change classes. I mean come on, after all the fun I had with them, all I get is a goodbye? And all I can do is to join another class (which I don't know yet). Well at least I know Ashley in 21, I know Wei Ping in 02. But still?

Arrrgh I'm so frustrated. Well not angry, it's just that I feel it isn't fair to us. It seriously feel sucky when you don't have a class. Imagine this, you're at a place where you are new at. You know little people, the rest are strangers to you. And these people have somewhere they belong to (a class). They can bond and have fun. And then came you. Who doesn't have a class. Like... Right?

I firmly believe that SP should change the enrollment process for DPA students. We should enroll at the same time together with the JAE people. Well at least we will go in together and stuff. And we won't feel so lonely and "lost" anymore right.

Oh well, what can we do. Even though we complain, we still have to go through this. And I keep reminding myself. Remember, you only go through this once and for all. Right?

Anyway today had an awesome day after the bonding session. Wanted to run on the track with Weiping, Candy and Ashley but it was raining super heavily. So we decided to head to the gym! First time like -seriously- exercising there. I ran for 30 minutes non stop :D Burnt about 200+ calories. Average heart beat 153. Wooooh haha.

I also played around with the gym stuff and it's really fun haha. Well first time going to SP gym so yeah I didn't know much things. Oh and I got my fat, muscle and body mass calculated. Okay so well yeah I need to lose more fats, and go to the gym more often. Haha, expected. Anyway the guy who helped us measure these is really a nice and friendly guy. And he said he can help me train. Oh well if I can to.

Ate dinner at Sumo after than since FC4 was close. Talked a lot there. Somehow we were talking about our schools haha. Like I just know Ashley school is... Yes. And we were talking about some of the embarrassing things that happened before. So funny. And as usual, B&J ice cream for dessert together :D

Alright that's all for today. I really hope that tomorrow's enrollment will be a breeze and will run smoothly. Sigh, really really want to get this over and done with. Kind of bothering my mind for the past few days. See ya all folks!

Oh yeah baby, French here I come! Bonjour Bonjour Croissant Croissant!
