Prepartory Workshops

Day 3 @ School

Photobucket

Today is the first day I'm attending lecture! First lecture was Principals of Accounting by Mr Balwant Singh. He was quite serious at first but slowly loosen up as the lecture progressed. Anyway, I didnt take accounting before and was pretty puzzled by certain terms he was using and so I asked him. But he didnt answer my question properly and left the entire class confused.

However towards the end of the lecture my question was kinda answered through the lesson proper and indeed, there wasnt any meaning to the words I asked him to explain. Lol! But he asked for my name and praised me. There's already homework on the first day of school!

During break I joined Abel, Annabel and Aik Heng for lunch. Johnathan joined us too. Tried the cafe. Food was okok, but it was a good experience.

After lunch was 2nd 3 hour lecture by Dr Phil Stephenson. I honestly think he's quite good looking, but I cant really make out what he was saying through his accent. Lol! I almost slept during lecture today but I told myself that I want to do well and so I persevered! I managed to get the maths concepts right. (",)

Lesson ended and I went home myself. Had tuition at night. Tomorrow 3 hour lectures again and again.

God Sis Sarah called me today and told me she misses me. Actually I miss her too. So sweet of her to call and also give me encouragement to me. Thanks sis!

Somehow or rather recently, I wasnt feeling happy. I dont know why. Everyday I laugh, I smile, yet my heart doesnt feel a single tinge of happiness. Was it the stress of school? Or was it the stress given by other people? It's only 3 days into school and so many things are happening. People are demanding this and that. I havent even adapt to school life and my timetable, school work. Yet they are already saying that I this and I that.

And I heard something very funny today. Someone told me that he heard that my classmate look like my ex. I dont even know which classmate he is talking about because none of my classmate look like anybody I knew.

Stressed up. Who bother to understand what I'm going through? ARGH!!!!

Before I forget, this Saturday onward, you will see my picture around Bukit Timah Plaza for the next two weeks. Remember to check it out when you visit the plaza. Take care everybody!

UOL Freshie Orientation

Freshmen Orientation today! So excited. Lol! Wore the Orientation tee-shirt, headed out and met Reagan and Guo Ming at Clementi.

After some briefing, we were divided into 8 groups. I'm in group 3, and my OGL is Tee Kay. He's damn funny person, and very friendly also.

Photobucket

Games were fun and enjoyable, but the sun was unbearably hot! I got a very bad tan today and my arms and neck are now red like lobster, and also burning. Lol!

Lunch was quite messed up though. Queue was very long. Everyone spent like 20minutes to queue under the hot hot sun before we finally get to eat.

Photobucket

After lunch we had games and my team won! T.K (my team's name) Go go go!

Some group of girls from Indonesia approached me to take photo with them after camp debrief. They are really cute and nice people. My fellow course mates also.

Photobucket

Met and know quite a number of new friends today. Lesson starts tomorrow officially. No more playing! More pictures are available at My Photo at the side-bar of my blog. (",) Do check it out!

Back To School

LONG entry today. Bear with me. Lol!

Today marks my first day back to school! Tertiary life is really different from JC and Sec sch life, though the basic disciplinary rules still apply. Dad fetched me to school today because it's my first day. As I neared the school, I felt kinda scared and excited at the same time. Scared because I cannot cope, scared because my commitment of 3 years starts today. Excited because I kinda look forward to campus life.

Photobucket

First thing I saw as I stepped into school is the looooooong queue. At first I thought it was the queue for normal lectures. When I walked further up front then I realised it's for us. Lol! So I walked all the way back to the back of the queue and queued.

I was quite alone today, until someone familiar tapped my shoulder. Guess who? It's my former campmate Reagan! I also got to know his friend Guo Ming and the 3 of us hung out together for the rest of the day.

Photobucket

School kicked off with talks and lectures and also introductory talks and sharing of experiences by our seniors. After that we were made to sign a "contract" which states that we are to know our roles and responsibility as a SIM student. Each and everyone of us is then required to go up stage to shake the hands of every single lecturer and staff up there and "give our promise" by handing over the "contract" to them. Another thing to note is that my class has only 50% local students. Means I'll get to meet alot of foreign friends. Maybe next year when I specialise then will I get to meet more local students. But well, it's ok. I'm friendly! Lol!

After that, we were asked to take an English test. OMG! Test on the first day of school! Faint. It took me sometime to get my flow back after not having done any tests or written any essay for more than 2 years. Lol.

Photobucket

School ended and we headed to Ngee Ann Poly for lunch. This is my lunch for today. (",)

Soon after lunch they headed home while I headed down to Paya Lebar. Cabbed to Puma office for meeting. The cab was so warm I almost died of heatstroke. Lol.

Photobucket

Today was the official meeting for Friends of Puma with regards to their online campaign. Qian was very cute. She bought potato chips and chocolates for everyone! Lol! And it was nice to see Gab again. He looks tired today though.

Photobucket

We were also present a mini gift set by Puma which includes a Puma F1 toy car model, a limited edition Puma F1 driver figurine, press kit, blogging details, program rundown for the F1 campaign and also a can of Redbull. Lol. Soon, you all will be able to read me blogging from the Puma Motorsports website and also find out how to win tickets to VIP F1 parties and meet the driver sessions and many other attractive prizes simply by just reading my blog! All in all, people involved in the online campaign are Trixy, Diana, Nadia, Jayden, Lawrence, Benjamin and me.

After that I cabbed to Mediacorp. Gave Trixy a ride. Lol!

Have been missing quite a couple of lessons lately due to my very hectic work schedule. Today's lesson was quite relaxing. Managed to catch a couple of photos while waiting outside the room for our turn . We were waiting for our turn to do one-to-one practicing with teacher. Everyone chatted and we all became quite high. Some even sang. And our senior New is very humble person who likes to sing. He asked me to teach him once he got a stable income because he didnt want to undercut me. Very touched by him. (",)

Met Boss, Kelvin, Mandy and Dewei at the coffeeshop opposite Tekka Mall after lesson. The taxi driver didnt know where the exact location is and we ended up going two big rounds before finally reaching our destination. Lol! Got my namecard today! But Boss say he want to change the design and layout in our next printing.

That's all for my looooooong and busy day. Now to blog something to side track abit. My birthday is coming and I just wanna put down my top 3 wishlist (even though I know it's most likely not going to come true). Lol!

1. MacBook Pro laptop



Super nice. I really like it alot after Langer showed it to me. But very expensive. Sad!

2. iPhone 3G (S)

Also very nice.

3. LV Viktor Sling Bag
Wanted one since long ago. But well.. Again another dream.

And so, these are my top 3 items on my wishlist. Lol!

Gotta wake up at 6.30am tomorrow. It's orientation and team building. I really envy my friends at other schools and courses who get to enjoy week long orientation camps. I really yearn for one. But well, no choice already. Lol!

Falling sick soon. Feeling feverish. Hope tomorrow will be alright for me.

Good nights everyone!
