week 3 = mundane
first thought that came to mind was the fact that in 3 weeks time, it will be recess week. which also means the half a semester would have passed. time sure flies doesnt it? life has been pretty much the same as the previous 2 weeks. the only difference is that i've banned myself from fb, for a week. if i use fb this week, i would have to pay grace 5 bucks. i cant believe i have to resort to such means just to control myself. it's not like there's anything to do on fb. i dont hunt for mouse, trap ghosts, harvest virtual crops or set up virtual restaurant. it's just that fb is the first website i access every time i turn on my computer. and then i'll continue surfing the internet... for hours and hours.... now, with this ban, i only spend 15 minutes on the computer everyday. and i'm glad i'm starting to read my textbooks. there's so much to read.. and understand. the more i read, the more i realise i dont understand a LOT of things. human bodies are really super duper complex systems. lots of metabolic pathways occurring in our body every moment. that day when i attended bioinformatics lab, i felt so noob. computer noob. to think i've been using computer for such a long time, and yet i dun even know how to use command prompt. all i know is to surf net. urgh. felt so lost and helpless, like how old folks are, when they learn how to use computers. -.- when was the last time u read the newspapers? i felt so ashamed of myself, for not reading the newspapers... and that a pri 5 kid knows more about the current affairs than me. i bet i cant even hold a decent intellectual conversation about current affairs with a working adult. :( can u? i bet most youngsters stop reading newspapers after they finish their A lvls. cause it's not gonna be tested. so why bother? in the end, we become ignorant fools who are only mugging blindly. and the only news we know, is probably the latest celebrity gossip. it's gonna be my first time attending a 21st birthday party. i aint a great fan of birthday parties... i just dont see how anyone can enjoy birthday parties. thinking of who to invite is already a pain. imagine if u missed someone out, or someone feels offended because u never invite him/her... plus u dont really get to interact with ur friends because u're just hopping around to say hi to everyone. u could also end up neglecting some friends while entertaining the rest. not to mention the expenses for organising a birthday party... -.- i'm so not gonna have a 21st birthday party. it's really hard to decide what present to get too. what would be a practical and meaningful gift? what would u want to have for ur 21st birthday? the caffeine isnt wearing off yet. i'm so wide awake even though it's 1.18am. :( shall end off this post wishing my dear little brother a happy  homemade brownie :D yummy!!!  milo toast! here's to a better future. LOL night rider
everytime i go for night cycling, i go with the oacians. all my night cycling memories are filled with oacians. last friday, i went night cycling with my uni juniors(the orientation grp. the start of the night was filled with flashbacks. getting off at bedok, taking 196...the underpass... the ECP... going to tanjong rhu bridge, seeing the singapore flyer... cycling down nicoll highway...after going to tanjong rhu bridge, we took a different route. it was a new experience to cycle to town... we cycled to rochor to eat the supposedly famous tao huay.. and then we slacked at smu.. having another htht session.. and then we head to fort canning park.. we even manage to meet celebrity alvin ng at kallang riverside park! haha.. and my juniors managed to take a photo with him. really exciting night. it was a pity we didnt managed to catch sunrise.. because it started to rain at 6am... the ride back on 196 was surprisingly shorter than we expected. it was great to catch up with my pri sch classmate. i cant believe she said i became more rough and tomboyish. since when lor? did i? here's a group photo to end off this post :)  the usual must take photo spot. haha :D i realised my cam sucs at taking photos at night :( perhaps i'm using the wrong function.
i dont wanna be claire.
alright, it's the second week of school and what has claire done? well, at least she borrowed her textbooks... and.. i think that's all she has done. 4 days of school on the first week felt really long. overloaded with information, and worries... that is really not a very nice way to start a semester. after that 4 days, claire was drained. perhaps it was due to the long break, that made her stamina deteriorate. she just wants to laze in bed the whole day doing nothing. absolutely nothing at all... watching the clouds go by.. even till now, the 2nd week of school, she's still lazing around. work has started to pile up, u have no idea how many promises she broke in this week. promises to herself about how she's going to wake up early, start reviewing her notes, reading the textbooks, or even starting on her mindmaps. claire totally lacks discipline and motivation. if she doesnt find them soon, she's gonna be so dead for the rest of the sem. and can u believe that with such a lousy attitude towards studying right now, she's even considering whether to join another ocip. my goodness.. what is she thinking?! she's so awfully disgusting that i dont even wanna be her. at least for this sickening moment as i am typing this blog post. because she has just wasted another perfect morning. she better take control of her life soon, before it gets out of hand. here comes my 2nd yr in uni...
yes. sch has started for nus students. the day before, i dreamt that i was late for sch because i forgot to print my timetable. every time when sch starts, i suffer from pre-sch syndrome. ok, or at least i think i do. i start dreaming about sch... and have butterflies in my stomach... etc. a really bad way to start the first day of sch. plus the first week of sch is always the week i complain the most.from past experiences, i can complain about every single thing. the weather, my timetable, the profs' horrible accent... the early mornings.. the peak hour..the lunch crowd.. the awful lunch.. etc. u name it, i complain abt it. haha... i guess it's gonna be the same this time. since thats the way i destress... and then after the first week, i would kind of accept everything.. esp that disgusting timetable of mine. by then... i think i'll start to enjoy my time in sch a lot more... and most probably before i know it, i will be busy studying for tests... chionging assignments... LOL. what can i say man.. i'm just so predictable. hopefully this sem can be as fulfilling and fun as the previous sem. :D well, for a start, i'm gonna go night cycling with my og this fri :) cheers! awesome 2 weeks!
i know i haven been blogging... thats because i was really busy the past 2 weeks. these last 2 weeks of sch holidays were spent on science orientation week (SOW)... at the start of the camp... i was a little worried. i had no idea how to be a ra ra senior... i kept wondering what i could do to make this orientation camp a great one for the juniors. if i were them, what type of senior would i like? a super enthu one? it was hard being someone i wasnt. especially being high and enthu in front of a bunch of people i dont really know yet. thank goodness after spending some time with the juniors, i got to know them a little better... and once i get pally wally with everyone, i became auto high. haha... plus i had peijin, pris, and caifang... the fellow snrs to accompany me. <3> i was really lucky to have my pri sch classmate in my og as a freshie. super coincidental... at first my og was a little cold. as in the freshies werent really mixing around.. luckily the og became closer after the games... and the mood and atmosphere were a lot better on the last day of camp part 1: @ sentosa... and i was glad that the freshies did enjoy the camp. the 2nd part of orientation week included FIC (freshmen inauguration ceremony), rag and flag day. our og managed to get the 'most amt collected' prize. haha.. all of us were rather surprised with the results. the prize was $200 swensen's voucher :D and then on the last day of the camp, everyone attended rag. all i had was admiration for all the raggers. the floats were amazing... being able to witness the rag competition live was just amazing. i could feel the sci faculty spirit... the unity. everyone and everything was AWESOME! and the best part was that sci fac managed to win 7 awards, thus claiming the overall champ award aka the chancellor shield. everyone just went crazy.. we were shouting cheers at the top of our voices... at that point in time.. u have no idea how proud i was to be a part of science faculty. it was mind blowing. i'm glad our efforts paid off. the rag wrapped up the whole sci orientation week. it was a really nice way to end the camp. and then there after... i was busy catching up on my sleep.. and uploading hundreds of photos on facebook. thats one of the cons of bringing a camera.. nonetheless, i enjoyed being able to capture those priceless expressions on each and everyone of my og mates' faces. this SOW will be one of my most memorable experiences in my uni life. even though the camp is over, i will always rmb the friendships that i've forged, the happiness i felt, and the satisfaction i derived from helping the freshies adapt to uni life. i just hope that this og will stay tgt forever. there are so so so many photos i wanted to post... but thats not possible. so i'll just stick with these few.  last day of camp. end of rag! JEDIs FTW! taking lots of photos while waiting for the performance to start. :) super funny shot! haha.. pamela never fails to make me laugh.  |
