My new class: W25J

I attended my first lesson of the second semester in a new class. A totally new environment meeting new friends. I knew culture shock was abound to happen due to the pre-warnings given by my facilitators. 8.40am and I went into class.

The first thing that I did when I came into class was not to say "hi!" to everybody but to check whether I was in the correct class. I wouldn't want to be in the wrong class and feel "paise", lolx. I think my new classmates thought that I'm a faciliator! Since I was wearing an RP t-shirt and a lanyard. haha....

Then I realised that my new class has alot of girls! Amazed me quite a little. It's been male majority in my last class. I used to have only about 6-7 girls only and now it's a major boost with about 10-12 girls. Amazing! Unluckily no malay girls. So sad. lolx.

I was in group 4 with Sebastian, Rui Yan, JingYing and Leandra. A bunch of nice people. We had a math module today. The lesson was alright, not that hard nor easy. It was quite strange for me to present at the back of the class since I have been presenting infront of the class for the whole first semester no matter how hard i have to go back and forth to click on the mouse. Nobody was allowed to click unless yourself. It's true. Nyahaha...

Being in a new environment teaches me to be adaptable. Suiting to the class environment takes time. Gelling with each other member takes hard effort to break the ice.

That's all for now. :)

i'm oblivious

After graduating from my secondary school, i've been quite oblivious to many of my secondary schoolmates (those from the same batch and some juniors). It's quite sad actually. I've known quite alot of them (not really that close but still... they are my friends) Am I a ghost or what? haha..

Recently I went to Downtown East to watch a malay concert at D'marqee (is that the correct spelling? lolx). I went with my parents and as usual it's crowded with people strolling around with some babies in tow and bla bla bla...

While walking to the "big tent" i saw two of my friends walking towards my direction. One was of the same age as me while the other is my year younger student council friend. SO that means she will NOTICE me. I'm her senior, lolx. I gave them a big "Aidi Smile" and a right hand wave and what do I get? A big "muke sotong" reaction! haha... haiya what to do?

Another event took at "Popular" bookstore where I saw a junior browsing through the books. I gave another "Aidi Smile". So what do I get? An irk face from him! waahh... I'm NOT trying to flirt with you la boboi! Just to say hi in a smiling way. Wah, the reaction..... I just feel like punching the face.

I'm not trying to blame these people here for not replying graciously to my heartwarming acknowledgement that I know a person near me is not a GHOST nor a STRANGER but a friend of mine. Of course, if you are a stranger I won't even lift those precious mouth muscles! lolx.

Am I wrong to say this? maybe. Maybe not. Maybe some people will only reply back if you pester in their face? or maybe some people just can't be bothered?

It's all SUBJECTIVE to individual preferences.

upcoming Poly Forum 2006

I've got hold of the blazers and yeah it feels GOOD to be wearing it. I feel like an "VVIP" in the black blazer. It makes me look smart too. I took the blazers, a tie, tiepin and a badge. The tie was big, bigger than my secondary school's tie.

Just because I'm wearing the blazer, I went to shop for a white collared shirt and a leather shoe. I've never had long sleeve shirt in my closet and this was the first. The "pioneer" shirt for the years to come. Nyehehe... The shoes, hmmm.... very cool looking. It has these squared front cut and it is a heel shoe. It feels kind of weird to be wearing heels, not that kind of ladies heels but still.... I can feel the "levitation" wearing it. haha... The shoes are already "seasoned" after the long and winding walk around town with George and Eunice yesterday. Yep, it's true.

Hmm.. poly forum. Sub theme 4.1. I shall congratulate my team for finishing their project earlier than other groups. And oh yeah, their skit is awesome, by looking at the pictures of children smiling away. And yeah George, you look YOUNG there even though you're not. Michelle (if the name's correct, she's the same age as you) and you were awesome! holla!

Few more days to Poly Forum and after that my worries are OVER. It's a four day event and RP students will miss the opening day of semester 2! uwahahaha!! miss school... miss school... yahoo!!

I'm still wondering who are my classmates and when the RP admin staff going to tell me which class I'm in? Very nervous. I don't want a class that is anti-social, blacksheeps, backstabbers and others. I can't live with this people. haha.. pray... pray.... pray.....

my tourist guide

George became my tourist guide for today. No offence George! Today we had a seminar talk by some Life Sciences professors and it was held in NLB. For the record, Yes George! this is my first time going to NLB! woot! haha... and yeah, it's been a long time since I went to Bugis. You know the Bugis Junction and all that stuff.

We attended the hour long talk getting "enlightened" for various ways a science diploma holders to further their studies. There were professors from NUS, NTU and CQU (Central Queensland University) giving their take on degree courses.

After that we went to "jalan-jalan" to an adjacent building to go to a music shop "Swee Lee Ptd Ltd" I wanted to have a look at the guitars. As usual, the price range were hitting the top, with one reaching over $2,000! Then we went to look at 2nd hand book stores while waiting for Eunice to join us for lunch at Bras Basah.

So, from Bugis the 3 of us went to Bras Basah to have our lunch. It was a LONG walk! While walking, our "tourist guide" show us the good food makan places we should go and all the fun places we missed. It was a "historically enriching experience" to look around Singapore. The moment I was there, I ate my food so fast I finished first!

We were then led to the upper level shops where George showed me all the Army stuff that I need to know where to get from. When we finished, Eunice was still shopping for her clothes. LoL... No offence.. hehe....

After that was the most treacherous walk i've ever walked. Walking from Bras Basah to Somerset! ahh!! I was wearing a leather shoe and it gave my heels a real work out today. I'm having leg cramps and numbness. Oh yeah, the feeling of pain is "awesome" nyehhee...

Watched a movie titled "spelling bee" or something like that with the inclusion of James. The show was quite good, with every "frame" of that movie had someone spelling some "bombarstic" words you would never use in your entire life. For example, "Solartreacherous" I think the meaning is "sun hill' or something like that. But WTH normal people would actually use in daily life!! Why make your life so difficult? haha... It was really interesting, it made us spell words even after watching the movie! For example, George said this, "I'm going to the t-o-i-l-e-t" nyeahhaaha.....

We then had our dinner and chit chat for quite some time. We set off home at about 8pm in the evening.

Now, I know how a lady feels wearing a heel shoes. Even though men heels are not as high as theirs, I can feel the slight pain. I'm not used to wearing leather heel shoes you see. Uwahaha! Strong man cannot complain! haiyo.. ok, no pain now... but still.............

wakao, Where's my tiger balm? I need it!!!
