first week of school is ending. its been quite a slack week. went to mabel's house for the naruto marathon and steamboat dinner with some of the cns people. she's living alone in the two storey house. a bit creepy actually, especially when we told ghost stories after dinner. i couldnt sleep myself.
very sad that this semester couldnt get jap2 for my ge. really wanted to continue taking before i forget everything. i got marketing instead. though i was interested, now seems abit heavy to take with my core. it'll be good to take but i'm kinda reluctant now. yesterday, i went for 8 hours of lessons. reached home at 9pm. that would be the time i'll reach home if i got my jap. i crashed lihui's french class in the afternoon and junjie's jap class in the evening. french class was interesting and the teacher was good. its was in the same class as my jap last sem. sat back in the same seat too. but french pronounciations are all so difficult and confusing. my interest was not deep enough. good experience though. jap class was very fast paced. i forgot some things already and sometimes couldnt keep up with the over zealous class. i preferred suzuki sensei and my previous class. this teacher was lively but there seems to be something missing. i miss my class...in any case, both french and jap have no more vacancies. sigh...

tomorrow is the start of a new semester le. holidays have come to an end. hope i can do better this semester. slacked for 3 months le, hope my mind havent become rusty. now printing lecture notes. its so fustrating. argh...when will i learn not to try to print at home. this printer always give me problems. like printing one page onto 3 pages. sigh...13 more pages to go...
spent my last day of holidays with my family. we tried a bit of archery just now. its quite fun but very tiring on the left arm. not enough strength. haha... my first shot flew off on the floor. but i managed to hit the target later.
yesterday, i met up with meizhen and shiwen. bought my first shirt during the hols. couldnt resist the urge. haha... and i highlighted my hair. but seems like its not obvious enough. the actual colour looked much darker than what the hairdresser showed me. anyway, still prefer myself with shorter hair.

school's starting next week, so i'm gonna enjoy myself first. though i've been doing that for the past 3 months. i forgot my ntu password! how blur can i be. now i've to go to the IT centre for the second time this year to reset it. sigh...cant even check my timetable now.
anyway, met up with some of the cns people for lunch yesterday. jinhan's treat. haha... we went to this cafe in cineleisure. think its called friends. replaced the previous lips cafe. the food was quite good. they were having the student promo, from 2 to 6pm. damn cheap. for $5.90, you get to choose a main course and also free flow of soup. drinks are an additional 60 cents. really good bargain considering the original price of the main course alone range from $7.90 to $11.90. students can consider going. after lunch, i played pool for the first time. haha... its not as easy as i thought it would be. not very fun to play. maybe my skills too lousy. the only balls i can hit in is the white one. hwai quan almost gave up teaching me. now looking forward to our naruto screening~

went to marina twice in 3 days. first was sat's outing with the jap class people. didnt expect it'll only be the 5 of us. so shelved our plans for steamboat and went to sakae instead. ate alot there, including something gross. they took a plate of snails and persuaded me to try too. the thought of eating it was really gross but i think i put too much wasabi, i couldnt really taste the snail. still, one is enough. *bleah* but i had alot of fun that day. we went to esplanade after dinner and started a phototaking frenzy. the main exhibit is always really good for taking photos.

yesterday,went to marina again to celebrate hui's bdae with the gals. now all the poly people graduate. they are working or planning to study. feels like we've all grown up. haha...den went with hui to visit wanyu at work. she and zhiwei so eng there. should i help out during national day too?
p.s.can someone teach me how to post the photos nicely?

just came back from cns camp last evening. so tired, only slept 3 hrs a day. but i really enjoyed myself. got to know all these nice people through this camp. i was supposed to be under logistics, but somehow i became helping the sports programmers more. didnt know how to help logistics. dont even know how to set up the pa system. and there were already 4 guys. they wont let us girls carry the heavy things. first day we had the amazing race at school. not really fun being station master. i was there to keep jiafang company. she's one hyper girl with her infectious laughter. spent the time crapping while waiting for the teams. spent the night at little bodhi temple. the temple was kinda like chalet, air-con super cold. on the second day, 10 of us in the advance party went to changi chalet in the logistics minivan. we really packed the van with equipment and there's hardly space for 7 people in the back. me and lihui had to lie on the things near the back door. the aloha chalets were so big and old with 4 or 5 bedrooms. there was one room with a small nursary at the back. it had a broken cot in it. quite creepy actually. it was really fun setting up the haunted house together. but we all found it quite funny during the trial. lol...i was one of the scarers hiding under the bed. took a whole 3 hrs for all the freshies to finish. so damn tired being a ghost. but it took away any fear i had of the house. but we had to attend buddhist talks everyday. all of us were so tired, cant help nodding off. think i actually slept during 1 meditation session. one nus lecturer was quite inspiring though. learnt alot. jinhan, our logistics leader was quite protective of us subcommers. probably made a few people unhappy. but i wanna say i think they all did a great job and i really like all the people there. had a great time!

to my dear hui, wish u an early happy birthday! hope you can find a bf soon so u can be sure no there's someone to celebrate ur bdae !! be happy alwayz~

whew...the week is finally over. last weekend, i went more another two days of trial camp. running the amazing race again is not fun. this time, i went with a couple of seniors. the games were more or less the same and i already knew all the answers to the clues. the day at changi wasnt so bad. think the night walk will be quite exciting with an ending climax at the 'haunted house'.
met hui,gary,jy and iz for dinner at suntec fish n co after the trial camp. can we not go there again? haha... then gary had on his army specs and could see that he had tried to style his hair abit. but his specs still made him look somewhat nerdy. i enjoyed myself at dinner but was abit distracted. my mum had called to say they were sending my bro to hospital cos he felt dizzy and fell, hitting his head on the floor. so it doesnt seem right that i should be enjoying myself. was quite worried cos head injury is quite serious. plus he also vomitted.
but he's ok now. discharged after 4 nights stay. thanks to u all for your concern. one thing i'll like to say is that changi hospital is very inefficient. they doctors are mostly young, many under training. some not even confident of taking blood samples. they didnt explain my brother's condition or what they were doing. they only came once a day. then said that maybe my brother was too tall. crap. it was my dentist who explained to me. how ironic. the radiologists took two days to come up with the x-ray report. the result? they were still not sure if the line shown in the x-ray is a crack or a blood vessel. so they only sent him for a brain scan after that. i think its pretty fustrating for patients. alot of people were complaining in the ward. wonder if other hospitals are like that. so dear frens, please take care of yourselves.
that aside, i went to watch war of the worlds today(finally!). it was really great and exciting. its like a computer game. the aliens zapping all the humans with their light beams. but i didnt really catch the ending. how come the aliens all suddenly collaspe? did they catch bird flu or something? overall its a nice movie so go watch if you havent.
looking forward to camp tml~
