Ok, so it's 3pm now and I still haven't done a single scrap of revision, though I was so full of drive and zest yesterday. Looks like I have super high inertia. And the best thing is, i'm blogging now!

Ok, a short recap on my lectures recently.

CM1101: Principles of Modern Chemistry
It says there Chemistry but I've been learning nothing but Physics in this module, specifically Quantum Physics. Vomiting blood over this module soon, as I absolutely HATE and ABHOR Physics but much as I hate to admit, Chemistry does sit on Physics fundamentals, so I guess I don't have much of a choice. Hopefully the Chemistry will come in soon. Thank goodness Professor Bettens is interesting to listen to.

CM1131: Basic Physical Chemistry
This lecturer has an extremely strong German accent and the entire lecture can't seem to get a single shit of what he's talking about. During my last lecture, I was so thankful Marilyn was sitting beside me. At least we could engage in some intellectual conversation over what he was explaining, though we still couldn't figure out much. With this module, I have yet to vomit blood but I guess it will be soon. Sooner than CM1131, no doubt.

MA1421: Basic Applied Mathematics for Sciences
Thank goodness my lecturer is a Singaporean for this module. Surprisingly I can understand what he's talking about, despite my notoriously shitty standard in Maths. Well, I can understand SO FAR. Hopefully it'll remain this way till the end of the module. Though of course, I have yet to get started on the tutorials, so I can't really check my understanding but so far it seems better than my Chemistry modules.

EC1301: Principles of Economics
Undoubtedly my favourite module so far, even though it's from 6-8pm. I love the fact that I can understand and appreciate practically everything that my lecturer is saying so far, especially since I have zero Econs background. Definitely going to aim for an A in this module.

GEK1535: Our Atmosphere: A Chemical Perspective
One of my more boring lectures, which is a pity, since Professor Lee is actually quite an engaging speaker. It's just that the content that he lectures on is just so BORING!!! Gosh, there were so many people sleeping in his lecture! More than half of those who weren't sleeping were sitting with their heads on their hands propped on the table or otherwise stoning.


On a brighter note, NUSSD Campus Connexion is this Saturday, though that means I've got to collate the attendances and decide on what to contribute for the picnic on that day but at least it'll be a day away from school, just like today. Haha. But one thing I don't look forward to are my Jap classes. Mizuzaki Sensei has a way of making me feel incredibly stupid. Urgh. I WILL PASS MY JLPT 3 THIS YEAR!

I love blogging from my laptop. WOOTS!

And now, even that small glimpse of hope that I had has been snuffed out. Why should I hold on? ='(

Ok, there really is a lot I should be blogging about but I really have no idea whatsoever where to start. Hmm... Let's see...

First up, orientation. I don't think I've talked much about it. It really was a lot of fun and I really love my OG loads. We weren't always very into what the agenda of the entire orientation was, but we were very high when we were left to ourselves! Hahaha... My OG comprised of 12 girls 6 guys, so it was a little =X at first but turned out they were really all very nice people and we had great fun during orientation. Secret pal was kind of interesting, I guess, but maybe more of because it was my first time doing it. I usually mumble and stutter when talking to a girl alone for the first time and I talk about the stupidest things under the sun, so I guess I didn't leave a very good impression, which is usually the case. Our conversation also a bit 'leng chang' but we managed to talk quite a bit about our love for music. Turns out she used to be from Chinese Orchestra. And the best part is, for the gifts that we made for our secret pals, we actually made them with each other's instrument in mind. She made this really cute figurine of a guy playing the flute. I, on the other hand, with no artistic flair, made her a quaver and dotted the word 'ERHU' across it, which was the instrument she played. Needless to say, my gift for her looked nothing short of hideous, compared to the one she made for me. Haiz.

Orientation went by far too quickly, though I was partly glad it was over, as I was seriously lacking in sleep. For those who don't know, I'm a person who CANNOT go without his sleep, so goodness knows how I'm going to keep myself going in uni, when I hear so many stories of how people burn the midnight oil like nobody's business.

ASD Connexion came next. I was so happy that my group won for my very last ASD Connexion! Really felt that this was a great gift for me to remember my dear ASD by. I'm going to miss you guys so so so so so much! I think I remember the water bombs game the best. Was supposed to protect my YWD from getting bombed but she ended up being the wettest. Paiseh ar! =P

So lessons have started for a week already but I don't have the feeling that school has already started cuz it's been lectures only so far and I get to go to school at odd odd timings like 2pm... no tutorials and labs as yet, so it's still pretty much relaxed. But I can barely catch 20% of what my lecturers are saying, especially my lecturer for CM1131!!! Omg, I thought I applied for Chemistry major! Why am I studying all Physics material now? Principles of Modern Chemistry now learning EM Spectrum. =.= Physical Chemistry teaching gases. I'm like... wtf? Heng my maths and econs still not too bad. Surprisingly I could understand everything the lecturer was talking about in econs and maths, considering my notoriously shitty maths standard and having zero background in econs... Econs really looks so interesting! Ok, if people can get A and A- without having prior background then so can I! WOOHOO!!!

Went for NUSWS welcome tea yesterday. They put me in the first row, playing first flute, when this is my first time in 2 years officially playing with a band again. Obviously, I struggled like crazy to cope with my breathing and sight-reading. Urgh. Some more I told them I play piccolo previously, then now cuz their piccoloist might not be playing for the upcoming concert, they'll want me to play it! Omg, I think I'm gonna die if that really happens... I mean, I love the piccolo... but that doesn't mean I can play it well! Zzzz...

Ok, enough worries... Signing off!

I don't need or want a repeat in history... But this feeling really is torturous...

It's been almost a month since I last blogged. Time really flies.

First time I'm blogging from my beloved new MacBook Pro. I really love it, though it's still pretty much just an empty shell at the moment, considering the fact that I have yet to transfer all my files from my PC to my MacBook Pro.

Just finished orientation yesterday. I'm really dead shagged, even though I'm blogging now at midnight haha. I really just want konk out for the rest of the weekend but unfortunately, I won't be able to do so due to ASD Connexion. Not that I'm complaining, my last Connexion has finally arrived and I'm not going to miss it for the world!

At least my timetable for this week says my Wednesdays are free, without the tutorials, so this Wed is gonna be a rest day as well! WOOTS!!! Hopefully I can keep it that way. =P

The weather's been horrible. I need to stay healthy.

Boo... Being random now cuz I'm tired.

I love my new laptop!

是邱比特的箭硬,还是死神的爪强?Can anyone answer this question?

I think this is going to be the first line of my 邱比特的失误 之 胜洁恋. I've really been really lazy in writing it recently, though mostly it's because I have no time, since I'm working now.

I'm working at CTSS, as a clerk in the general office, doing data entry. My fingers are being worked to the bone but the ladies in the general office keep feeding me over and over and over again. No surprise if I put on 10 kg in my short stint there.

Giving Sinyee japanese tuition this Sunday. Omg, long time never teach japanese liaoz. Hope I don't teach the wrong thing. =P

LaserQuest with NUSSD guys today was FUN! Though I suffered a small injury, it was still great overall. Thank goodness I'm finally starting to warm up to them a little! Had a great time playing, chatting and eating today. Hope we have another outing again soon.

Buying new clothes soon. Sian. Dun really know what to buy. But I seriously need new stuff. Lots of it. But where to get the money from?!

I need a hug...
