Sat Sat Saturday

• My package finally arrived! I've ordered a cotton sweat shirt and a pair of jeans, but the jeans was a little too loose. Sigh, the disadvantages of online shopping. Well, at least the sweatshirt is still as awesome as it looks online. Hehehe. 
• So, since today's Mothers' Day, my mum requested that I cooked up something for her and I've decided to go for the easiest one. Zha Jiang Miannnnnn~ The style of cooking is really similar to pasta except that the sauce is not tomato sauce. In conclusion, the noodle is edible and the taste is not bad (it has the Zha Jiang Mian flavour in it - the salty and savoury taste). But I think it was too oily. I've put too much oil. Oops.
  
• Mothers' Day Celebration - Skipped Alumni Band Prac : So we decided to go to Chinatown to have dinner as our Mothers' Day Celebration. We walked around those streets selling super duper cheap souvenirs and stuffs which were like 6 for $10. Hahaha. Then we walked through 美食街 to look for good food but everything looks good there and also since my mum couldn't decide which to eat, we had to walk through it again. When we were walking through 美食街 for the second time, my mum suggested we go an empty so that we can sit inside for the air-con (because my sis was complaining how hot the weather is even though she was already wearing thin clothing). And so, we went into this quite empty restaurant and we ordered our food. Then there's this green tea which they sold it for $5. We expected that the green tea would probably be good in both quality and quantity since it costs 5 bucks but in the end, we got ONE CAN OF HEAVEN AND EARTH GREEN TEA. WOW. FOR FIVE BUCKS. But the food was nice, so is their chinese tea. Ohh, and while we were waiting for the food to arrive, I played Don't tap the while tile on my sis's phone and I beat her high score for Arcade and Rush. MUAHAHAHAHAH.  

Poly 1.1.03

Monday:
Lessons as usual till 5 and then there's Aikido meeting afterwards @ 5.45pm. And, there's surprisingly quite a lot of people from ES who signed up for Aikido. There's Vevek & Robert & Biao Yi & Wen Kang & Brandon, thus, we all went for dinner together. We were brought to Tanglin CC's Dojo and we watched how the seniors did their training with sensei. 
Overall:

• The discipline of Aikido is fairly high, everyone must respect the sensei and follow his orders. 
• I can barely hear the sensei because of the large dojo and the amount of people present in the dojo (since sensei is not used to teaching large group of people, thus his voice isn't very projected).
• I had microsleeps in-between because I could barely hear the sensei and I was really tired. But I woke up when we did some exercises together.
• The moves are really cool but hard to master, we have to move fast and quick. 
• The prices are more expensive than shooting. :(

Conclusion:
I'm not gonna join Aikido Club. I'm sorry, Khin. :/
After the meeting, it was still raining and since Khin and Angel do not have an umbrella, I lent them mine while I shared an umbrella with WK. And then I went home with Brandon on 132 and on the bus ride, we exchanged our views and both of us think that we're most probably not gonna join Aikido. Hahahah. Instead, we'll maybe join some CIP club which is event-based and gain some CCA points. Teehee.

Tuesday:
Compro book is out of stock againnnnnnnnn. GAHHHHHH

Wednesday:
EG1 was really fun today (both the tutorial and lecture)! :) Ke Wei also let me listened to the eletronica songs in his phone and the songs were all awesome! 

It's really nice, right? I really don't understand why some people doesn't like this type of genre/music. Well, I guess different people have different taste huh. 
EG2 peeps gotta come from 5 to 8 because they gotta attend a lecture on complex numbers but EG1 peeps need not attend because we're gonna learn it in our modules. Hahahahaha. 
Anyway, I had BJ101 from 6 to 8 and it's super fun. BJ101 classes have always been fun to me, although it's only the second lesson. Hahahaha. Ohh, and I got to know 2 other classmates who are like super duper pro in Japanese alr. They're LeRoy and Jason, hardcore anime fans. Hahahaha. Well, although they're really talkative during class till one of the classmates could not take it, they're nice and funny people. :) Ohh, and there's also Chia Lin, a very sweet and kawaii girl who owns a super duper cute SnK file. Hehehehe.

Thursday:
First 8Innova lesson and it's pretty boring. The things that we have to do are very interesting but I don't see why we have to spend 4 hours on building a prototype and some sketching. Well, anyway, I like having my brain think of creative ideas. 
Nah, just kidding, it's tiresome. And that's why I'm in ES, because there would be a definite answer to almost all the question, unlike languages or humanities. I don't like vague questions where there is no right or wrong, it's too vague for me. Bleh. Well, anyway, we were released an hour earlier because our lecturer is really nice. :) Btw, the whole ES were separated and there's only me and Wen Jie in the same class. :/
After that was Comiss for 5 hours straight. :/ (I hate Thursdays.) But today's comiss was generally okay since I'm a good girl and I've completed my homework. Heehehe. And my teacher played the song 'Happy' in class today because she said she has not listened to it before. Wow. 

Friday:
School starts @ 2 today but I'm going to school @ 12 because I was supposed to meet up with Yub, Joel, Ke Wei and Lester for a slacking session. But before that, I ate instant pasta for breakfast which was awesome, it was super cheesy. Yay, thumbs up! :)

It looks something like this but instead of mushrooms and herbs, it's hotdogs and hams. Heh. 
And after breakfast, I made a call to the local network courier to track my stuff. It's stated that it has reached Singapore on 2nd May but the package hasn't reached me yet, so I'd better check on it. And they said that they'll deliver the package to my house from 9am to 1pm! Yippie! After checking my package, I went to my sec sch to collect my testimonial which was due for so damn long. I was supposed to collect it before 30 April but, oh well, I couldn't find the time to. Sorry. They're probably having their mid-year exams right now. Hahahahaha. Suckers. And here I am, enjoying my poly life. :)
After the collection, went straight to school and there's so many people in the long room, year 3s and 2s were there too. 
Anyway, since D2 peeps have not had their lunch yet, I went to accompany them to poolside and came back to ES long room to slack even moreeeee. And we played Resistance again but no one except Biao Yi believed me that I'm a Resistance. Gah. Damn it. They rather trust some senior from year 2 than their year 1 friend. :( 
Anyway, compro lessons are really fun! I LOVE COMPRO. :) 2 thumbs up!

 Physics lesson was okay, it's like Amaths + Physics. There's differentiation and acceleration and everything else mixed together. Thus, it's a bit confusing for a blur-sotong like me. :/
Ohh, and I finally bought my compro book. FINALLY. 

Poly 1.1.02

Monday:
Lessons start today officially and it's not that heavy at all. I was actually late for 15 minutes for my first lesson. Oops. Anyway, most of the topics are the ones we've learnt in Sec 4, except for ComPro which is very new to me. And, its also very interesting, we learnt about coding and programming. AWESOME STUFF. At first I had some problem trying to build solution but it's fixed thanks to Jaryl. To be honest, I really like my class because most of my classmates are all sociable and friendly. :) YAY. We should seriously have a class photo. 

Tuesday:
Had Eltech lab practice today and it's fun as hell. Hahahaha. We learnt how to use the big bulky voltmeter, I guess, and the bread board. It's really fun building the circuit and testing out those tiny resistors and slotting them into the bread board. I wanna have lab practice again! :) 
There's make-up lesson for Comiss from 3-5 and I'm the only girl in that class. Damn. Why am I always alone and the other 3 girls always grouped together? Gah. Anyway, we have to do up a research presentation and presentations have always been one of my biggest fears. So, good luck to me. :X

Wednesday:

So, I tried to find an alternate route to school. So I went to Marymount MRT station and walked to the opposite bus stop according to gothere.sg to board bus 52. HOWEVER, there isn't a bus 52 there. Thus, I sorta panicked. And then I checked gothere.sg on my mobile and it shows that I have to board it from a bus stop called 'Opp St Theresa Church'. And so, I walked around Marymount station to find that holy bus stop but Marymount is surrounded by jungles and trees and there isn't much taxis around. Hence, I told myself to calm down and tie up my freaking hair because I was sweating heavily. I walked to another bus stop and it took me about 5 minutes just to get there and there isn't bus 52 or any other buses which will lead to NP. I looked around and there's a bus stop across this huge road and it looked similar to one of the 74 bus stops and so, driven by desperation to reach school asap, I went for it and took bus 74. And the bus 52 there doesn't even stop at NP. Thanks gothere.sg. 

After the lessons, we went to Studio 27 since Jing Yi booked a room there. Lester & Ke Wei & Lionel & me went with Jing yi to play X-boxxxxxxx. I was really excited because I've never really played X-box with friends before. (Yes, I know, I've led a boring life up until now) And it turns out to be really fun! :) 

After that, we went back to ES centre and the seniors there introduced us a really cool card game. It's called The Resistance. And I'm too lazy to elaborate on how awesome the game is. Hahahah, sorry.

And then, I went for the BJ101 yesterday from 6 to 8 and it's really fun (and I made new friends, woohoo)! Although sensei was speaking in Japanese 90% of the time and I'm just a beginner learning Japanese. Thus, I don't understand what she's talking about most of the time. Anyway, we learnt about what's 1 to 10 in Japanese and Jap Greetings. I'm so gonna greet my course mates in Japanese on Friday. Hahahaha. If only I remember to do so. 

It was awesome, kinda.

Thursday:
It's Labour Day which means it's a public holiday and thus there's no school! Hahahaha. Hence, I stayed at home and finish up on some of the tutorials and homework that I have. Didn't go out or anything because I'm anti-social and would like to spend some time playing some computer games and watch Japanese dramas. 

Friday:

I went out at 10 am because I thought lessons start at 1 today but it's actually 2. So I have lots of time to spare, hence, I went to walk around Northpoint and look for a suitable laptop bag at the same time. And I bought one from Punk Star, it's blue in colour! :D I'm really in love with the colour blue. Only blueeeeeeee~ 
After the lessons, there's shooting briefing at 6:30 @ LT51D and I've made a new friend even before the briefing started. Hahahaha. I'm awesome and I know it. She's like my soul sister, we have lots of things in common. For example, she's also in engineering, she likes Physics too and she has also signed up for Aikido! WOOHOO. This is the first time I've found someone who has so much things in common as me. Hehehe. But she's from Myanmar and she's two years older than me and her English is not that good either. Not to worry Khin, I'll be here guiding and teaching you, I'll protect you. Hahaha. 
Anyway, went home with the other Jaryl since he has also signed up for shooting so I thought since we're gonna be both coursemates and CCA mates, we should not be awkward around each other. Haha. 

Adjusting

Lessons just started this week and it's not too bad. Actually, I really like poly life. :) There's breaks during lectures instead of back-to-back lessons in JC, and the canteen is not bad, and there's air-con everywhere. Hahahaha. The facilities are really good too. The lecturers and teachers are both friendly and nice. But there's just 2 big problem are freshies like me. 

1. Poly is just too big, I might get lost if I were to walk about alone. :/ Also, there's like tons of lecture rooms, labs and classrooms, and I don't even know where's the block located at. 

2. There're so many tutorials here and there and all of them are somewhat everywhere. It's either in MeL or MoL or some other weird places. The tutorials questions are manageable, the problem here is that it's so difficult to keep track of things and it's difficult to find them too. Also, some of the tutorials questions are in the notes/textbooks. 

Other than that, everything's fine. :) 

EbmS Induction

Day 1:
Motivational Talk

I was late for 30 minutes because of the freaking traffic jam. Gahhhhh. Damn it. Thank god Jaryl was in the same bus as me, I wouldn't know how to get to the attic on my own and I would most probably panic. :/ 

The programme is really boring and it's mostly for the ebm students. Well, we're the minority there after all, we couldn't do much. Sat beside Lester for today and he's really cool. He was showing off his yo-yo tricks and that's sick man. Boy, you've got some mad skills. Hahahaha. Chatted with my other course mates and got to know them better, like way better than the bonding camp. And I made a lot of new friends too! 

Ke Wei, who is gonna study Japanese 101 too. 

Biao Yi & Wen Kang duo, the shortest guy and the group admin, they're actually really nice people.

I feel more comfortable being in my course now. :) I hope to bond with everyone soon and find friends which I'm comfortable hanging out with everyday. 

Anyway, we're going NeWater and FusionWorld tmr! YAY! I'm going to FusionWorld again! I went when I was in Sec sch and it's totally awesome! Whheeeeee~ I'm very excited for the trip tmrrrrr. :D

Day 2:
NeWater & FusionWorld Trip
It was AWESOME. During the FusionWorld Trip, we went to the same cool place we went to during Sec Sch. Most of the inventions were the same a year ago but some of them were different. For example, the lenovo phone using voice to unlock, the huggler (purrs when being pet or hugged), printing light on paper, recycled specs etc. Other than that, the hologram, game which requires concentration or brain wave, mirror which identifies gender, smart bed (detects heart & breathing rate & bed sores), fans which activates when there's people infront of them. Too bad photography and videography is not allowed.
After that was the NeWater Trip and NeWater is still pretty much the same thing except there's a interactive games section halfway during the trip now. Hahaha There's this big screen and multiple seats with a touch screen monitor infront for players to move their avatars. It's the only game which I enjoyed playing, others weren't as enjoyable or even actually be called a game. And then was the usual intro to how NeWater works, with all the reverse osmosis, uv filtration etc. Couldn't remember the exact process though. 

Day 3:
Camp Challenge @ Sembawang
I'm really excited for the activities we're gonna do BUT, they just had to split u up into different groups. God dammit. Why can't they just keep ES to one group. GAH. All well, at least I made some friends from EBM. :) 
Anyway, we did Trust Fall, High Elements, Laser Combat and other small games. We were supposed to do Archery and Geo-caching but due to the bad weather, we had small games instead. In the end, we were made to build a rollercoaster and play games such as Body parts to Colours. All in all, it was fun. Then was the long-awaited laser combat. It was AWESOME, just that I was shot dead way too early. Even though I wasn't shot directly, the laser would bounce off the wall and hit my sensors. Damn. 

Day 4:
Motivational Talk
Boooooooooooooring. Hahahaha. The first few speakers were really boring and the last one had a really low voice but really cool activities to engage us. For example, complete 30 blank circles, moving a matchstick to change the donkey's direction and building a book shelf for patients. We had to build a prototype bookshelf out of egg trays, tape, ice cream sticks, cable tie and what-not for the patients. The presentation at the end for the book shelves were all super entertaining and funny. HAHAHAHA. Feng shui and other nonsensical and hilarious reasons. 

Day 5:
NUS Trip
NUS is really huge. Before we got there, on the bus we all talked about lots of brain teasers. First, we had a lecture-like intro for the ESP (Engineering Science Programme) course there. Next, we were split up into 4 groups and had a tour around the engineering block and labs. We were taken to explore solar energy, nanotech, some really cool inventions such as the world's first circuit or something like that formed by humans as the wires. It's some really cool and awesome shit. There's also this world's first radio circuit using a very small light source. And after all this, we settled down by this small cafe-like shop and talked. 
After it all ended, we went to purchase some books but it was sold out. Our Compro book was sold out. Dang. Now we have to make another trip there when there's stock.    :( 

Then there's clique dinner @ Nex's Seoul Garden. It's really been a while since I've last seen the girls. We truly ate a lot, there's sushi, meat, ice cream and more meat. Hahaha. We sat there and lepak till it's closing time and finally we walked around for a bit and took pictures. :)

Yeah, it's quite blurry but we're all smiling. :D

Btw, I've missed the CCA Fiesta thinking that Friday's the last day and I panicked a little on Thursday night when I couldn't sign in to sign up for CCAs. But thankfully, I could still contact the CCA thru email and thus, I'm currently joining Shooting and Aikido. :) 

It'll be over soon

I hope April 20th will come quickly so that school can start soon. I don't feel like working there anymore. It's so stressful. Yes, I know that there's no job in the world where there's no stress but this is really too stressful for me. There's so many things to be done and so many things to learn and soo many things to be responsible for. I hate it. Please be over soon. I'll still work willingly because I need the money to pay my school fees. I should be improving but why am I still so stupid and clumsy. I dislike it.
My boss decides to put me on full shift for 6 days for next week. Is he insane? I'm not gonna let him take advantage of me. Thus, I've decided to fight for my rights and at least take another half day off! RAWR. Even though it's gonna be my last week working at that shop but that doesn't mean I should give in to everything. I'm not gonna be that silly girl who will suffer alone. I'm gonna fend for myself. 

I'm stronger, tougher and better. So I'll make sure you don't take advantage of me. 

I'm not the same kid from your memory. Well now I can fend for myself.

A wordy post

It's been a long time since I last updated this blog huh. And so many people are currently using dayre instead of blogging. Times have changed. just a few years ago, those youngsters were using blogger and always changing their blogskins/blog urls on their computer desktop. And now, there's no need for that, everything is easily accessible through their mobile phones. They could just lament on their boring days on their phones without going through the problem of waiting for the computer to start up and uploading pictures. Nowadays, it's as if everything's a touch away. I wonder what'll the next few years be like. 
Anyway, its really late right now, it's about 2am and I have to wake up at 8.30 am for work. My current work is really tiring but there's a big satisfaction. Since my boss didn't wanna hire more people, we, the part-timers, are practically like full-timers. We worked full shifts almost every day, and we also had to do openings & closings. My legs are really sore right now from standing almost the whole time. There's so many things to do, such as stock check, preparing the ingredients, counting the money etc. Thank goodness I'm only working till April 20th for this job. My boss is pretty harsh on me too. Sometimes, I suspect that he is being really biased. I mean, I did all the preparing, counting of money, and other things you told me to do but you just weren't there to see it for yourself. I settled it on my own because you were so irresponsible. Always going to your other outlets using the excuse of checking them out but actually you're just there to play with them. What a boss. 
I've signed up for my ES 3D2N orientation camp and I'm pretty excited for it. I'm in team Thor and apparently there's only 2 girls (including me) on the team. Whyyyyyyyyy. I'm really uncomfortable around guys. Anyway, I hope it's gonna be awesome! Oh, and I forgot to check my enrolment status. What should I do? The deadline to check for it has already passed. I wished for school to start asap and working days to pass asap too.
