it feels like 10 years since i last blogged!
well, school has been hectic.
or rather its my course.
feels worse than jc!
cos our lecturers are really true to their title!
they only lecture.
like when you have a project to do you're not
even informed of it..
you have to go check online.
and when you're unsure of how to go about
doing the project and approach them,
they only give you halfhearted, incomplete answers.
totally hair-tearing, teeth gritting times!
but overall i'm loving poly life.
i never really dread school.
and i may sound like a geek,
but even though its been one month plus,
i still look forward to school enthusiastically!
there's only one sickening thing:
my tutor for a certain subject.
shan't name names.
he's a part time lecturer, 20+?
my class has tutorial with him once a week.
HE JUST FREAKING LIKES TO PICK ON ME DURING CLASS!!!
even my classmates can tell.
he's the most sarcastic person EVER.
and all the time he just "suans" people,
namely, ME.
thank god next week will his last week.
he'll be flying of to some country for a conference.
hopefully antartica.
or some godforsaken place.
he won't be coming back =)
and the weird thing is that he has a split personality.
he's totally mean to me in class,
but when he messages me he's very nice.
i think he has an angel and a devil sitting
on different sides of his shoulder.
i have many things lined up!
emerge 07,my class chalet, cell group chalet.
and my mid sem tests are coming up in 2 weeks time.
luckily i only have 2 papers.
and the weightage for tests is nothing compared to projects.
=D
don't hate me.
so far the only subject that i'm having probs with
is essential graphics software.
adobe illustrator, photoshop.
basically, stuff that i can't do to save my life.
and i'm scared, cos its a CORE subject which i can't fail.
darn it!
why does my course have this?
i really really love my current friends.
they make me laugh so much i think my life will
be extended by many years.
not forgetting my sec school friends though.
but it seems, our schedules are simply crazy!
and never coincide.
my friend lent me SAW 1,2,3.
omgomg.
i watched part 1 last night and it
was soo good and twisted.
the ending is totally unexpected.
everyone should go watch it!
but i think its M18.
more for language, i think.
its not THAT gruesome.
i think nip/tuck is seriously worse.
its late,goodnight!

Hola!
haven't blogged proper in a long time.
today i finally get a breather, hence this post.
yesterday i had to wake up at 6+,
something which i haven't done for ages.
the reason was archery cca.
my friends and i went for the trail,
and we made it through!!
so, i went to school yesterday expecting to
be starting training proper.
instead, we were treated to PT,
physical training, which basically translates to
physical torture.
4 big rounds around the field, followed by another 4,
pushups, jumping jacks, and many others.
honestly, what does all this have to do with archery?
it was said that this training thing would
go on for the first few weeks.
there after, training would begin.
today i'm seriously aching all over -_-
shoulders, arms, legs, stomach, EVERYTHING!!
project work is streaming in!
no one seems to be having a sense of urgency yet.
people, exciting news!
tomorrow i and some other communication and media
management people will be going to caldecott hill,
mediacorp for filiming!! its some episode of TAB TV,
and the episode will be called "Celebrity Fanatics."
we're still unsure whether we'll be filmed, or watching
the filming.
the celeb going...is really unconfirmed.
but its 90% Zoe Tay!!
cos some people were told to make banners with..
what else? the name zoe tay on them.
we have to rush down after our last tutorial,
APEL, some thing like civic morals ed,
with darryl david =)
i don't do sympathy, sorry.
you know, there's one thing i can't stand.
and that is, people who make themselves sound
super pitiful just to make people pity them
and comfort them.
there's nothing truly bad happening in their life,
seriously.
one example:
i was just have a group discussion online.
i was gushing over some hot actors with my friends.
( -__- i know, i know)
when one of the guys in the discussion said:
" =(.i feel so unwanted now... "
that really pissed me off.
because it wasn't the first time that he tried to pull
off something like that.
it was like the 4th time or so.
and to him i replied:
fyi, i don't do sympathy, sorry.
sounds mean, but its the truth.
the aim of him saying that is most prob
to get the girls to go:
no la, you're fine..don't say that about yourself...
uuugh.
why should i (or we) do that?
i can't stand people who feel sorry for themselves.
everyone, i repeat, EVERYONE, has flaws.
except God, d-oh.
but whether you get over it or dwell on it
is another issue altogether.
if you get over it, good for you.
or if you plan to do something to change it,
even better.
but if you dwell in it,
how can you then ever discover your other talents??
and are you then gonna feed on people's sympathy?
or use your flaw as an excuse for all your mistakes?
thats plain ridiculous!
build a bridge and GET OVER IT!!
( i may sound mad but i'm not )
think about this.
=),

whoops, haven't blogged for a while.
this week spells the beginning of tutorials.
i greatly prefer tutorials to lectures.
there's so much more interaction going on,
and you actually get to DO things.
the best way to sit through a lecture is,
of course, to bring your laptop along.
my laptop arrived yesterday.
lovely white mac =)
and i'm typing this entry out on it right now.
totally diff. from windows, but still, user-friendly all
the same.
sigh.
my sis wants the modem back, grumbling away.

today actually..i had no lectures.
and since tutorials are off this week,
so i wasn't even supposed to go to school
today.but safra radio invited 2 djs,
1 from power 98, another from 88.3
to give cmm pupils a talk about radio.
so i decided to go, since radio is
the real reason why i joined cmm.
i'm glad i went for the talk.
it was super short actually..
lots of time was given to Q and As..
wanna know the pay of a DJ?
1.4 to 1.6k a month is the basic pay.
low right?
but for every commercial you record
you get $150.
and if you're good, you can get 3 or more
a day.
easy peasy, just a matter of reading a script.
and when you do roadshows,
you get paid $500 to $1200 (if you're really wanted)
PER HOUR.
woah!!
anyway, the very minimum a dj gets
(aka a lazy dj)
is 4k++.
and if you work hard..who knows how high
it might go?
definitely my passion.
and not just cos of the pay.
after the talk i went bowling with some
cmm peeps. they're all really nice!
down to earth...
you know how people are always saying
how snobbish we are?
and how badly we treat others?
it actually seems the OTHER way around.
when we(cmm people) walked past
some design people at the bowling place,
where they were horsing around.
they immediately stopped what they were
doing.one of them said:
hey, lets stop it. the cmm people are here.
they might think we're crazy.
having said that, they proceeded to cold-stare us.
how nice right?
hah..i saw my friend this morning.
h.h..
she's so cute man..
she had this thick cooking book in her hands.
study hard but play hard too =))
my friend asked for my blog address.
but i didn't give it.
haha.
its like my safe haven where i can say what i want.
i took the link off my friendster.
so...this blog is somewhat annoymous now.
so shhh..readers.. ;)
Only yours,
Clara

cos people from my school are adding me

wish the people would groovee more!
i can't wait for monday.seriously.

the cam just knows how to take very model-ly shots.
so hopely he'll get online and i'll get him
to send them pics over.
wellwellwell..
i'm tired.
woke up with a horrible headache.
the after effect of too much dancing?
and my flu finally got the better of me.
thus i had to skip make-up cell group.

cute in a lil' brother way even though he's
older, and he's super nice.

Orientation was todaaay!
And boy was it fun.
I've realised that the mind dominates
your day.If you tell yourself it'll be boring,
trust me, it will.
I was super sick in the morning,
what with a flu, sore throat, cough,
and OH cramps.
but i told myself to pick up my energy level.
it isn't good to be emo on the first day of school.
made many new friends.
what a coincidence! my tuition friend
is in the same class as me!
and she didn't even mentioned coming
to my poly in the 1st place.
same church as me, woohoo.
i really love my class,
all 20 or so people.
they're great fun, no airs about them at all.
i just can't stand 1 person.
without that person, this class would
be PERFECT.
but things never are, right?
and i know God put that person in
my class for a purpose.
so..always look on the brighter side of life!
don't ask me who tt person is =x.
gawd i'm so perky today.scary.
THERE'S A HOTTIE IN MY CLASS.
the only hottie, and he's in my class.
yay!
mixed blood ;)))
and super duper nice.
got sabo-ed a lot of times today.
the worst thing was being forced to do a
verrry hot dance with him and another girl.
=xxx.
totally didn't want to,
no matter how hot he was.
no choice though.
but he was so nice to me and that girl.
asking if it was ok,etc.
thats what i like.
i can't stand guys who just hop on your bandwagon.
totally rude.
at the end of it all, when
my course had a gathering,
i was so paiseh!! when i got complimented
in front of everyone else
for joining in even though
i wasn't exactly feeling my best.
the support leader was cautious how he
phrased it though..
he stressed tt it wasn't cos i was pretty.
-_-
met many of my sec sch pals.
we mustmustMUST get together for lunch
at campus when our schedules are more settled down.
poly life is incredible.
truly.
try 22 hrs of school a week.
tts like 4 hrs+ a day,
PLUS that includes 1 hr of break.
whoa!!
my dear phone is giving me LOTSA probs.
so...if you call me and i can't seem to hear you,
message me alright?
lazy to send it for servicing.
i find friendster SUCH an unnessessary
thing now.maybe even a pest.
the probs it causes me...
i might delete my account soon.
bye,
clara.
don't you know..what can be said and what can't?
don't tell other people stuff they're not meant to hear.
i think someone got hurt in the process.
brain before mouth!
