I called to confirm my booking, as well as enquire on the availability of the branch manager for a short informal chat session; an interview has too much of a solemn connotation, in which I highly disfavoured. I was informed she could spare approximately 30 minutes off her schedule to enlighten me on her perspective of the Traditional Javanese massage.

Massage is a word that might still raise eyebrows of those deluded into thinking it remains a sleazy affair. By definition, massage is an act or an art of treating the body by rubbing or kneading to aid blood circulation, relax the muscles or provide sensual stimulation. Nevertheless, I happen to find this topic almost taboo, simply due to the lack in shift of perspective by the ignorant that are generally the masses. Majority would prefer western medicine to treat ailments such as sprains or aches. Coincidentally, I have heard of such a place that provides massage service which is of a Southeast Asian heritage: House of Traditional Javanese Massage.
I made a quick phone call to confirm my booking.
Me : Hi, good evening. I would like to make an appointment next Tuesday at 2.30pm.
Receptionist : Good evening Sir, I presume an appointment for a BM?
Me : BM? That would stand for....
Receptionist : Oh, sorry Sir. BM stands for our Full Body Massage treatment. Sir, would you be fine if we assign a female masseur for you?
Me : Yes definitely, the Full Body Massage. [Pause] Hmmm, I heard you have male masseurs as well?
Receptionist : My apologies Sir, we do not have any male masseurs on shift during the timeslot you requested for. No worries Sir, I assure you all our masseurs are equally capable.
Me : I see. Well, that would definitely be something to look forward to. [Chuckles]
Receptionist : [subtle laugh] That would do Sir. We look forward to seeing you during the appointed timeslot. Thank you.
I then had a sudden realisation that anxiety casted a shadow upon me at the mention of a female masseur. However, I was determined to overturn this stereotype residing within me and experience first-hand what this unique art has to offer.

Physical chemistry is officially a killer. X.x
Otherwise, the other 4 modules have been manageable so far. Revised physical chem the past weekend, looked through chapter 1... Not good. =/ Need to keep up the tempo (though there wasn't any mention of a term test?)
Okie, school aside.... 6 days left to sunday.... (today included)... Too quick for comfort, but this is how it goes I guess. Time flies like waddahell man. Hmmm. Yeah.
And then once it's sunday, it will be another 2 more days to something I'm really looking forward to. During which, mugging will be stepped up to another level. Shall start doing papers too. ((=
Discipline. Need to keep it at a high once more. Ok people, have fun!

Track: Time of My Life (David Cook)
Time: 1827hrs
Quote: What we do and how we do it, determines who we really are.
[ Temporary Self-inflicted unnecessary stress ]
As I'm sitting here typing this, I'm like wow how funny the past few 20mins were. This is the short scenario.
At 5.40 I was using my laptop and then the internet wasn't functioning properly. (on Campus) So clever me switched to the NUS domain account which I have not used since I first got this laptop. And then I panicked, because I forgot how to change back! Power can. Suddenly I was faced with a page that requested for username & password. Ironically, it was the username I was fretting on, and not the password.
Now the issue has been resolved of course, and suddenly that 15mins of panic seemed like hahahaha I'm so dumb I can't believe it!
Ok so now 1 and half weeks have passed in NUS. And well, I am struggling with chemistry! Sad to say. But hey goes to show what you thought you were good at, you still have much more to learn. ((= So for CM1101 and CM1131, I'm gonna give extra focus! LSM1301 is rather ok so far, and me being a O-level bio and A-level food chem student, I'm hoping to get an A for that.
Life is not that busy yet, and I'll try to upload my timetable here.
CCA-wise, only seen NUS riders so far... Prolly not gonna commit so much...
Life with my girlfriend has been great! So happy. ((=
Seen buddy in school on monday. (NIE)
So what more will life have in store? ((= Class 2A, and still trying for class 3.... For now.
Ramadhan around the corner people. To my muslim friends, happy fasting, to the non-muslims please bear with us for this month. Haha! Hmmm, Hari Raya all over again, but this time will be going to relatives house instead of saying "tengah NS", I'll be saying "tengah belajar kat NUS"! Heh. ((=
~This is the time to be more than a name, or a face in the crowd~

So, post 421 for the new chapter.
Been quite lost lately, but getting along. Haha, first lecture today at 4pm. Wondering how it'll be like. Need to go down and print the notes later, and best I tell you. 88 slides. Haha, power. But this is it I guess. Cramping that much knowledge into the brain.
Ok let's go go go! This is gonna be the new life.
Oh and I so gotta stay fit. Run and swim~ ((=
Take care people, and Hello nus!!
