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.
gtg.
