2 - Number of buses available from PGP
1 - The ranking God shall have in my life
Ok, that's a quick round up of some significant numbers, shall come up with an unwanted numbers list soon! Haha!
Moving along. I shall do something I haven't done in a long time, blog about my day!
Let's start with the morning,
0700 Hours
Woke up from my sleep. Did nothing about it cuz i knew it was too early
0800 Hours
Still awake, but being lazy
0845 Hours
Finally snapped into action and started on my QT. Quite a scary reading today of Jehu who, like, totally annihilated Ahab and his family. Yup, it was somehow much better than yesterday's QT where I was like, totally disconnected from God
0945 Hours
Finally (seriously) got out of PGP to go and CRASH NTU!!! Was supposed to be there at 1030 for Jayne's Organic Chem lecture... but hey, if im gonna be late, at least it's not my own lecture that Im late for ryte? Yup, was gonna be late
1100 Hours
Touch down NTU.
Met Li Hua who gave me directions to the Nanyang Auditorium.
Note : Signs in NTU are horrible. Rather, the LACK of it. Very crasher-unfriendly place
NTU TJCian counter : 1
1115 Hours
Ventured forth and came upon Nanyang Audi. Should have known that it was that huge URECA building lar... Waited outside for Jayne, who somehow forgot to tell me she is in LT27, so yeah, i had no idea where i should be waiting. Oh well
1200 Hours
Ok, from here on, time will be fuzzy cuz my handphone died of battery about an hour later. Met Jayne who was with Uncle Poo (sorry i can't remember his real name) and we wandered around a bit while waiting for Dix to arrive from her part of the NTU Uniworseverse. She arrive in style, although her scarf was stolen by some other guy, who in turn got his tie stolen by this other girl. Arts students know how to dress up. Engineers don't Shall end that discussion for now. Then after that, walked on to meet Winnie at Canteen A/The Quad (which Winnie doesn't know). It was rather hillarious or frustrating, depending on whether u were Winnie or Me/Jayne. We first told her Canteen A, then Quad, then Canteen A, and finally i forgot where we met also. =s oh wait, it was quad cafe!
While on the way, met Vita (my OG) and Jing Wei (my LEO PD) too!
NTU TJCian count : 3
Also further down, met Say Hoon (Renaissance II) and Alicia (my OG)!
NTU TJCian count : 5
NTU had this super long walkway connecting the Canteen and Audi... with totally no signs btw. So yeah, within this one walkway, met 4 TJCians then reached the Quad as we had a really slow walk while waiting for Winnie to arrive from Hall. Msged Ka Hei too, but she didn't see the msg, then when she did and replied me, my hp died. Haih.. saded, Msged Quen too, and he was in hall with Iwan, but yeah, my 5300 died on me.. So, now let's fast forward to the journey to the quad.
XXXX Hours
Walked towards the SBS (go figure) and stopped by the huge NY Audi. Jayne brought me in and i saw the infamous Audi which has slain (ppl who have fallen asleep) countless NTU-ians (I STILL DUNNO WHAT U GUYS CALL URSELVES) in the forensics lecture. Also, it was the sight where the lightsabres (think sea of lights) and robes were used. No idea what im talking about, then u r not from NTU. Duh? Hehe x)
Then walked towards Cafe at the Quad or something like that and met Sze May!
NTU TJCian Count : 6
Then went into the cafe and found seats! Yay (= Apparently everyone was busy voting for their Union ppl that they didn't have time to eat. The NUS crasher rejoices =D
So we waited (and waited) and waited for Winnie and when Jayne asked "Where's Winnie ar?",Winnie steps in in a refreshing green! Then we decided and ordered. I ordered the western Roast Chicken which was $4.50, but i guess worth it lar? Not too bad, it was quite nice even. And a can of drink cost $1, quite ex, but it is a rather nice cafe, not the usual canteen. Yup, had a very nice and long lunch!! Ok, long relative to the speed i eat. Then after much talking and trying out some of Jayne's baked fish and Winnie's Jap, we decided to leave and let others who were looking for a table get one.
In the cafe, met Tasneem (= but JoJo didn't turn up... Met two other TJCians whom Jayne pointed out (and apparently knew my name) but I can't even recall their faces... must be the hair colouration and non-uniformed effect that made me unable to recognize them. Haha!
Anyway, whatever my excuse...
NTU TJCian Count : 9
So after lunch, went to vote, and Yun Nam Library (i dun quite know what the actually name is though... hehe, so Yun Nam will have to do! Haha) It said on the some sign on the entrance
"Visitors are to report to ... "
Why the ...? cuz i didn't bother to remember what it said and went in anyway. Haha! So in that library, we were trying to get a com to print notes, but they were ALL used up. How come? Cuz the really smart and brilliant people who make it to uni think that the computers in the library are for the following
[1] watching YouTube
[2] Playing Yahoo! games (snooker)
[3] Chatting on MSN
[4] and the very best... SLEEPING!
And desperate ppl trying to print notes have no pc to use. So we decided to use the standalone pc. What's that? Well, we weren't exactly sure but apparently they were for database research. Haha! So the guy came and explained it to us and kindly unlocked it for us so that we could use it and next time use the proper terminal. And yes, there were proper terminals apparently, sadly, we didn't notice them. So it was a big bunch of blunders from freshies. Haha...
Anyway, im a bit tired of telling you about my day apart from the fact that i met Ni Ying during my maths lecture, Sam and Teik Kheng didn't go for it, met Pei Fen outside LT7A, along with Chun Ping, Michelle and Ying Huan. Yup. That about sums up my day... and the dryer doesn't work.. haih...Labels: Alicia, Jayne, Jing Wei, Ka Hei, Li Hua, Meredith, NTU, Quen, Sze May, Vita, Winnie

# The Countdown
Wednesday
Hmmm.. the day started off slow, with me waking up late. Haha. Which meant i reached school late, but it didn't matter cuz i ponned assembly anyway. Haha. And i had no lessons till 11.40, so it really doesn't matter what time reached. But yeah, last few days of my work now. Should endeavour to make the best of my few days here.
Oh, this is also likely the last post in a long time cuz i'll be returning this wonderful laptop that has served me well (well, well enough that i haven't thrown it down a flight of stairs cuz it is so frustratingly laggy!!!). But yes, it has served me well enough to prepare my lame powerpoint slides, to play Gem TD, to MSN, to BLOG!, to visit ur blog (yes i mean you!), to surf the net randomly, and to get my own lovely iGoogle and Google desktop!
Yup, this is the end of an era. So from now on, this will be version 2.0 of my blog, from a different com. Yeah.
Ok, this is so turning out not to be a Wednesday post. I need to know how to do that strikeout html. Anyone know can tag?
Yes, this is not related to wednesday but rather next next weekend. Aurora XI is coming up, and i dun feel like going alone although i want to support shuming (ferena, so sad u're not gonna be there...) so if anyone wants to go for guitarconcert, pls tag me ya? Oh, on that note, anyone knows how to get to ACS Barker for (:hoyer (stolen from Carian) concert? Reflections VIII i think. Yeah, anyone wanna go pls tag or Carian, Shi Yun, Valarie wil have noone (aka me) to support them.
Ok ok, in general, if anyone wants to go with me (haha, i sound so despo now.. ee..) for any of te remaining concerts, pls tag? Sorry saturday concerts are out, i have YA on saturdays.
Oh ryte, back to
Wednesday
Haha, what happened today. Had my officially most unproductive class of my teaching career. Yes, i did NOTHING for 50 minutes (although Zoe, i hope things are ok). Yup, 06 persuaded me to let them do nothing while they take home the compre. Well, its sort of their problem cuz tonight they will realise they haven done it yet, and they will realise 1 and a half hours is freaking a lot of time, yet insufficient to complete the work. But a reminder: please only use 1.5 hours ya. Be fair.
Ok, now comes the best part. After lessons, it was... LUNCH TIME! My last time eating lunch out with JoJo and Eugene, so we went to our favourite Pizza Hut! Yup, yes it was raining, but that didn't stop 3 determined RTs (who had other motivations as well... hehe...) We waited at the bus stop, only for the rain to get heavier so we cabbed to the interchange. Such a waste of money, but oh well, today is special =) When we reached,the taxi stopped by the side of the road, as we were abt to leave, this car came and stopped RIGHT BESIDE US! like... hello?? we need to get out? So aft a while, the car reversed and re rushed out and stepped into pizza hut.
Oh did, i mentioned we brought TWO Rubik's along. The 3 and the 4 one. We were the center of attraction and one lady even asked us about it. Haha, we were rather bored waiting for the pizzas u see. Oh, without us realising, Eugene ordered TWO LARGE pizzas for the 3 of us... Like.. thats crazy man.. and he even ordered some meatballs, which were nice (=
Then i started to seriously time my 3X3 Rubik's solving time, and my record for yesterday was 1 minute 31 seconds! Yay, but my all time best is still 1 minute 14 seconds! Haha, but Eugene's best is 54 seconds.. so pro... My average is abt 2 minutes, plusminus 15 seconds? And JoJo was trying te 4x4 Revenge cube, and it didn't work out. We need to figure that last bit out. Final TWO corners won't match... eeww...
Anyway the pizzas came and we literally stuffed ourselves. JoJo had a record 4 and a half, i had 5 and eugene 6 and a half (although he claims 7 and a half! haha) Eugene's record is apparently 10 pieces, which is highly believable. And we stoned at the Hut for another hour to digest our food. Of course, concurrently, Staff Conference was going on. OOOPPSS? hehe.
After feeling quite well digested, we walked back to TJ. But before that, while we were eating SPRING SINGAPORE gave me a call! Yaynesses!!! They want to schedule an interview for me! Yay!! Haha!! But the lady herself sounded more unprepared than me. Must be some new secretary or something, she called, and asked for my surname. Like, shouldn't i be asking u? Haha. But who cares, its a round 3 callback!! YAY THANK YOU GOD!!
Things got better, in my email, NTU is asking me to send stuff for ASEAN consideration, Nanyang Sch consideration, as well as C N Yang Scholarship! NUS, please wake up before NTU grabs me with open arms and hugs me close! Haha, sounds gay, but NUS, please send me SOMETHING??? Yeah anyway, i wanna go NUS, but they are being irritating..
In school, i gemmed and lost again to Eugene, his towers all so nice lar... But at least i didn't leak and die. Hehe. Only won special crafter once. 14 leh, how to reach... Then talked a bit with JoJo before Eugene had to leave. He helped me book movie tix for Orang Labah Labah Tiga (thats in Malay) and im gonna watch with Heri tmr (which is today lar) So, yeah, its $16.50 for two ppl, but i guess the ppl are worth it!
Ok, went for cell today. Let's jz say what we need most is FOCUS. Not to talk abt ppl butt, or how fat we are. Haha, really funny, but yeah, unless u were at cell u won't understand the jokes. And guess what, they ordered pizza. Bringing my grand total of slices of pizzas ate in one day to 7!! My record!!
Ok, after cell, we were still arguing abt which way to walk back, and the guys eventually rleneted and walked the girls to their bus stops although we didn;t know what buses we had. Funniest moment is when FX and MY ran across the road and tried to stop bus 30 when they actually thought it was 33. Haha. Second funniest is FX wanting to wait at a deserted bus stop cuz she didn't see that the road was closed. Haha.
Rubik's on my way home until overshot my bus stop. Haha, good thing nobody with me, not so paiseh. Hehe. Reached home, got a little "nagging" to throw rubbish away and to put the clothes rack back after use. I was giving the im-blur look and said ok. Hosea came back today too! Yay. Ok, went online, chatted and slept!
Shout outs!
Trinity - Congrats!
Cass - Hang in there! God can change hearts!
03,06,21 - I'll miss u guys
C2 - All e best for ur test

# Surprise!!
Yup, surprise surprise! I have finally found time to blog.
Yay, jz to say that life's been rather low at times. Didn't get my EDB offer, but NUS and NTU accepted me. Missing my friends.. if i have any true ones to begin with. Wanna watch Spiderman 3, but no point watching it all alone... Oh, and James' blog got a Reuters' mention! Cool eh? Yup, i found that out before James i think. No idea why i was blog surfing. But back to the point, James, you put a realy good summary of 3! I love that Nazi shot! Hehe
Other interesting things that are happening... Beta won cheerleading (although there were too many traitors!) Gamma is once again overall champion (yawn.. we know we are the best.. thank you=) of Track and Field. But Titans is coming up, and this year should be n different, although they've banned teams from practising the log throw event.
In other news, the weather hasn't been to nice recently. Actually, it's been nice.... TO SLEEP IN!! Every morning its getting harder to wake myself up.. EEE... And the fact that i have to walk to sch in the rain doesn't really motivate me much either. So far, the latest i've woken up is 6.45. Once when i overslept, it was 7.19! Haha, reached school late.. duh.. but thank God it was wet weather assembly so nobdy knows. SMILES!
In class, the mass Media is making its rounds, with the coldness striking once again. Other people who are in one way or another different would be Carian (who's either les, straight or bi, i have no idea), Xuewen is trying to kill herself, many are wishing PW would jz disappear (although get destroyed and sent to hell and even hell would reject it cuz "it was forced there" and many other reasons so when it comes back to earth they would send it back to hell again)
Yes.. and the performances are coming up, and big surprise, im going for Chinese Drama's production. Big thank you to my translators! But that also means i'll be skipping Mambo Night (i think the HUGE banner has an even HUGEr (haha) typo!.. Mumbo.. hmm...)
But to Ying Lin, Amanda and Rishik, i did promote it to my classes ok, ask 21 and 06!
Yup, for sports, today, Basketball and Soccer are playing their matches! All the best ppl! Volleyball girls are out, so i'll be removing the ad soon. But they;ve given it all they have and it wasn't their fault when ur opponent injures ur team... But it must have been accidental.. i think.
So lets support them! Oh oh! BIG NEWS!! The TJ guys soccer team WON A MATCH!!! Against ACJC! 1-0!! First time in 3 years! Woo hoo!! There is hope yet! We also won Climb X, an inter-JC rock climbing competition, the First Aid team also won their team category competition and and other CCAs seem to be doing not too bad, but it could be nicer. But im not here to judge their performance. For College (yay) For Nation (??? which one again? SG, MY, CH, IN??)
Now for the weather forecast. Heated days are coming up with the HC nominations starting up. Also, stormy weather forecasted for this saturday in LT2 as the 31st SC vote for their new EXCO. Unpredictable weather as no clear head seen (presidential candidate). Cool days expected ahead with many performances coming up, after the student bands, it'll be PDPs at the Atrium. And concert galore forecasted as PDPs fight for ticket sales. Ok not fight, but yeah, try to sell their tix.
I'll most likely be going for Guitar, Choir and Chinese Drama.. oh and TJ Drama. Sorry to band, i dun think i can make it, YA comes first. Modern Dance, i dunno if i'll still be in SG by then. Chamber, no idea where or when, so maybe an update would be good?
So that's all for the news, next time, please tune in using Google Desktop RSS Feeds to my blog to get the latest info (its my latest craze!! Google Desktop OWNS Vista sidebar!) and do check out iGoogle as well =)
Ciaoz!Labels: Beta, Carian, Chamber, Chinese Drama, Choir, dance, EDB, Gamma, Guitar, HC, James, NTU, NUS, SC Exco Elections, soccer, THE Mass media, TJ Drama, Track and Field, Xuewen

# Open Up The (Uni) Gates
Saturday
Its a day of Open Houses. Today's schedule was Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and then Heart of God Church (hoGc). Woke up on time and wasn't late. Looks like my saturdays are improving and becoming less piggish. Had a quick breakfast and then left for Tanah Merah MRT to meet Winnie who was so kind to help me settle the open house arrangements when i was lost at a particular bridge @ Yumei's. It was really quite funny and i totally refuse to accept the stack of tiles cuz i was on the phone ok Diantha. U r still the champion! =p
Yup, back up the hill and down the dragon and 12 was not too slow. Met Winnie at the control station who was on time. Mark of a good councillor. Hehe. Council rocks! Lalala. Ok, it was a long ride from TM to Boon Lay. Note to people who design Unis in Singapore. Did you guys have the map of Singapore when u designed it? Or did u guys throw darts to choose a location? Even so, it was quite a bad throw.
Oh well, that jz meant more time to chat abt council life and the MRT wasn't exactly empty till City Hall... Oh well, council always has lots of stories, but i interrupt this post to tell u that apart from Diantha, Fang Xian is also the queen of blurness. Here's the low down (pun intended, if u get it)
Fang Xian called Winnie to ask where we were and we said we were on the MRT on the way to NTU. Then she asked, when are u guys going to NTU. We were like... LOLZ... but oh well, its FX so shes always forgiven for being blur. Diantha, u can share ur mahjong tiles with her. Yeah, ok back to the MRT ride.
We talked almost all the way and when we reached Boon Lay, Winnie's friends were supposed to meet her there but considering they weren't from council, they were obviously late (I am being super biased, I know). Winnie tried to give them a call but with all the construction work, all she could get out of the conversation is that one out of the group was at Buona Vista. And the rest of the group wasn't even there yet. So we headed off to queue for the shuttle bus to NTU. Nice thing is that there were signs and student ambassadors there to guide poor little lost sheep along. Unlike NUS!! Ok, more on comparison later...
Waited like 20 minutes for the bus to come and finally spotted Winnie's friends arriving. Saw some TJCians too like Carine and Zhi Zhong, Timothy. And when they arrived, so did the bus, so yeah, we were there early for almost nothing. But at least we got to NTU on time. Once there, they had nice ppl on the bus and nice ppl to hand out goodie bags the moment i got down. NTU ppl, if you're reading this, ur open house was better than NUS IMHO. And then Winnie and I wondered into SBS (School of Biological Sciences), what an uncool acronym. But it served its purpose cuz I remembered where we got off.
Then later after much asking of questions to ppl at the booths, we moved on to the Quad. (why i remember the places' names, i dunno) and saw some of the CCA booths. Quite cool. And the best part was the seniors. Talked with a few and even met Fung Shin there who i am now asking questions to find out mroe abt NTU. Met Rachel there too who was in red. Haha. Blended in with NTU-ians. I dunno what they call themselves. Any suggestions?
-NTUnians
-Nanyangnites
-NTechies
Okay I give up.
Then we heard some interesting rumours like what PRCs are called in NTU and terminology for retaking a subject. And the best part abt not using the microwave oven cuz apparently some smart ppl use it as a dryer for socks. Why??? Universities are supposed to house smart people. Intelligent people. Why.... Yeah, found out more about hall life, took a meaningless tour for the sake of the aircon. Had some free Milo and a hotdog and drink which cost $1. Winnie took for me while I organized the "recycling" materials in my NTU bag.
And then the blur queen (FX, not you Diantha in case u're wondering =) called us and asked us to meet her at URECA. But by the time we were at URECA, she had already left and we also missed the movie with Winnie's cell. So we just slacked around in a rather homey NTU. Met Jayne there too! Some NYJCians and TJCians as well who were there for some talk on econs. I think they ponned the remainder of it. Sorry ya NTU. U guys have to make this sort of stuff more interesting hor..
After that, we decided to take the MRT out of there and so we headed to SBS, ahha, and then MRT-ed to Dhouby Ghaut. And unlike councillors, we decided on where to eat pretty quickly, ordered ate, and bumped into Sarah twice and then finally the blur queen and Gabriel. Then walked out to DG and then to hoGc. This is the next part of opening the gates.
Never heard of Heart of God Church before except from what Ps Mark said that it was modelled after City Harvest Church. And from the reception, it was apparent. Ushers from the first door, up the stairs, reception and at the doors. All in neat black. And the crowd was sort of like CHC as well with queues to get in. Finally got to our seat and some had to move later on. But it was rather hot in there but it was not too bad.
After a while, the service started with a new song. It started off with a bass solo by a female bassist. She looked cute. Haha, but the t shirt she was wearing was a little too scary for me. Haha. Skull with halo and wings. Hmmm. Oh well, she is a really pro bassist. And so is the rest of the worship team. Didn't know any of the songs but the ppl there were really enthu. Yup. If one word could summarize them, it would be "WOW" with some pun intended. Hehe.
Then after the great praise and worship session with 100% new songs for me, it was announcement and tea-time. Announcements were ok, and tea-time means testimony time in my church in KL, but yeah, they had awesome testimonies. Even had awards for those who scored L1R5 of 21-25 and below 20 and some for A levels as well. Basically, a church who don't ignore academic excellence (AE as they call it) and the biggest testimonies were from the best improved student from E,O,F for A lvl Prelim to A,A,B. Insane!!!! and O Levels, drop from L1R5 of 49 (so hopeless ryte?) to 27. thats like, a drop of 22 points!!!
Then had the Valentine's day testimonies as well of how they impacted their schools and also the Northbrooks Revival video. Wow. Really professionally done to tell and even greater story of true revival. Yup, after the awesome tea-time, it was time for Ps Glen Berteau.
He shared an awesome message of How People Turn Their Backs on God from the parable of the sower. The biggest impact on me was how the deceiver (the devil) talks to you and takes away your desires. How does the deceiver sound like? Apart from resembling ultra heavy metal (hehe) screaming, it is usually very very subtle. He whispers...
- you don't need to do it now
- you still have time
- you can do it later
- you can do it the next time
To me, it was like... yeah... how many times have I heard that in my head. When I wanted to study. When I wanted to do QT, i can always do it later. It never tells me not to do it, cuz i'll know straight away that it's the devil. He's not that dumb to scare us away. It's always ever so subtle. procrastinate, take that extra 10 minutes. You need that one hour more of sleep. Just be late, its alright... So many times I've been deceived. Yup, i've realised.
And he also talked about how we will have pressure and we have to make a stand.
Overall, it was truly an awesome service and yet another item on my wish list has come true. Yup, and being in Malaysia now, all the 5 items on my wish list have come true. Txs God for reading my blog. I know you did (=
After the service, CFC talked a bit, and i met Fiona, the only TJCian in hoGc, who's from LEO, Leosis! Haha, so cool ryte! Yeah, talked a bit and introduced her to Winnie and FX but i think she would have forgotten, but I'm looking forward to meeting u in school! Yup, then we had dinner at Kopitiam in PS. FX was a little emo but it got much better when we were seated down eating. Must have been the headache. Wouldn't know.
Then had a long bus ride home. Michelle and Adeline also joined us on the bus. Then got off, stopped at 7-Eleven for a snack (yes I do snack once in a while *winks*) then took 12 back to Sennett. Met Cadence on the bus who was going home after O-Nite, sorry could't be with you guys, but I wouldn't have missed hoGc for anything else in the world!! Then reached home and slept after doing laundry. Yup. nice nice saturday.
Sunday
Sunday started off nicely, walked and arrived at church on time from Sennett. Yay. Occupied the 3rd row and left poor Gabriel alone in the 1st row. Haha. Ok,he wasn't alone, Sarah was there too but our cell wasn't. Hehe. Praise and worship was good as always! Hehe, good pre-service prayer with Roland as well. Then the word was by Ps Ang's brother, Ps Johnny Ang. On Psalm 23. If you know what Psalm 23 is by heart, give me a shout ya? Yup, he related it very well to Alzheimers disease as well which is his ministry in the US.
After the service, cell met up and had prayer quickly by Mei Yian. Yay, then had admin matters and James had to go off. Prayed for Matthew to get his appeal into TPJC from IJC and guess what, this should be no surprise but it still was to me, He got accepted into TPJC!! Yay!! God really answers prayers!
Then it was back to Sennett after church cuz I realised that I didn't bring any identification to get my NUS PIN reset. Had plans to meet Winnie who was once again the only person who will be going to NUS open house. Ying Chuan had a meeting at 2.30. Oh wells, with some msgs to Gabriel and Winnie, i set off first back to Sennett.
This is a special shoutout to Mei Yian who got me biscuits for my breakfast! Txs! Really do appreciate it! I LOVE MY CELL!!
Then after reaching Sennett, I went to Beer Garden to meet up with Gabriel and to have lunch. After that, Glanies came and with Melvin the only one left, I decided not to be glowing and left for Sennett once again. Why? cuz I forgot FX's letter of authorisation for the NUS PIN reset. Also cuz I had nowhere else to be while Winnie, Shujing and FX had their heart to heart talk with Aunty Aye Lan. So I played the guitar in Sennett while waiting and somehow things got messed up that Winnie was waiting for me at beer. Oh well...
Rushed down and it was nice to know that Shujing was joining us at NUS as well. Yay, so the 3 of us had a long long 10 bus ride down to NUS from Beer. Talked abt many things. And FX even called when we were talking abt her. Haha. Ok, so maybe Winnie can be blur, but u're still the queen FX!
Finally reached NUS and went in through the side gate at roughly 4 plus. Just followed the signs and walked abt 600m to the Open House. Walking was faster than waiting for the bus. Ironic. Then reached the main open house area. It looked really messy and we went to ask our questions. Got ticked off by the Office of Admissions guy who said i was rude for not using "please" when I asked if he had a pen I could borrow. Come on, I wasn't even demanding a pen,a nd his nice colleague nicely offered me one. Some ppl are jz so much nicer. And he kept on harping on the fact that I was rude. What a ... (Zsa Zsa, u can fill in a word here. lolz.)
Then got both our PINs reset and then went off to the ENG booth. They were so helpful. Asked me to look at the website to get info abt the syllabus. So what was I doing at the open house. Lame... And the people were so firerce, shouting al over the place when giving announcements. Blah. Jz got irritated by NUS. Took a campus tour which didn't help cuz the two people inside jz told us what the stops' names were. I could have read that myself, no thanks to you. And finally got back.
Met XiuYu while queing up and finally took the MRT back to Dover. Shujing had a car to get her.Nice ryte? Oh well, then I MRTed to Bedok adn almost missed my stop. Did my shopping at Parkway. And to my classes, I bought some simple stuff for u guys for next term. Bought some chocs for my teachers too. Haven really thanked them yet.
Actually did quite a lot of roaming ard Giant. And also stopped by LIFE to see if All Of The Above is out yet. No such luck. Even Never Stop by PS isn't out yet. Oh well, it will be soon I hope. Then came back home, and then slept.
Monday
Monday was much faster. Did more schoalrship stuff, sat in a mock interview with one of the groups, bought my bus ticket. Reached home safely. Yay. And after a wodnerful night's rest and a full day of blogging and pigging. Im here once again.Labels: campus tour, female bassist, Fiona, Fung Shin, FX, hoGc, Microwave, NTU, NUS, Parkway, ShuJing, Winnie, WOW, Zsa^2
