Saw a fren who has the same MA2108 tutor as me, he likened the way the tutor 'forced' us to do qns to that of a hounding loanshark.
Again another horrendous tutorial. Couldnt do, couldnt understand ani of the 6 tutorial qns.
My sis found 3 copies of half-blood prince in Tamp regional library! Thats amazing. Turns out I've always been looking in the wrong section. I looked under young adults/adults sections, but she found in 10-12 years old section. This weekend = harry potter
Met up with a good old JC fren. Shared stories and did some catching up. Shopped for a bdae present for another fren. Then she recommended me to try some coffee-stuffed hum chin peng. Unique taste, got me high for a few moments.
Went Comex 2007. Finished a brief tour of 4th floor, went up to 6th floor at 930pm. Then closed liaoz. Hey pple, its Friday man. Dont lock up so early lah.
My beloved Chelsea kena Valencia, Schalke and Rosenborg in Champions League.
Time realli to get serious bout my tutorials. That is, after I finish the sixth year at Hogwarts.

Thursday, August 30, 2007 Wake-up call
Right arm aches from the arcade game yesterday.
Saw some gal playing tamagotchi at MRT platform. Wow, its refreshing to see someone fiddling with something that is not a handphone/ipod in their hands.
Heard from a fren on MSN yesterday his MA2108 tutorial no good. Today I had my own horror. I only did one out of 6 qns. Realli hard, i cant do most of the qns. I knew beforehand students had to volunteer to present qns at least twice during the course to gain marks. So today i was prepared to present that one and only qns i did. Then the tutor started goin down the tables, u do qns 1, u qns 2 etc. And no matter how students reject they stil have to present. So it was 'forced' rather than voluntary. i wasnt happy bout that. Then came to me, but i couldnt do qns 4, so i 'bargained' and volunteered for qns 6. but he insist i do qns 4. that pissed me off. ok, im probably overeacting, but... watever. lucky i had a half idea of how to do. but he stil had to help all 6 of us to complete the our respective presentations. Later met that fren who told me bout his bad tutorial. Turns out we have the same tutor. My hatred for this module has escalated.
Then another tutorial, this gal look like a hip, nicely dressed student open the door to our room. Turns out shes the tutor! But... theres a big flaw in her teaching. She doesnt read 1/2 as half, but one over half. Then again present ans, but at least this time was voluntary. Haiz again i did only 3 out of 6 ans in tutorial, but this time cos i wasnt bothered to complete it. Why am i so slack.
On the way back wif a fren, saw this gal holding a heart-shaped famous amos thingy comin on board the train. She seem to be filled with joy, her face. Then she read the note that came with it with glee, and later clutched the case of cookies to her heart, with a dreamy little smile. Later i caught sight of the words 'XXX, happy teacher day' on the card. I was like, Duh. So high over a teacher day gift? But my fren said it might have been a i love u + teacher day greeting from her boyfren.
Bottomline is i have to vanquish the aura of slackness and get serious bout schwork soon.

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 Basket-madness
Met wif a fren, did some catching up. I havent talked to him for a few weeks, just didnt feel like talking to him, i dont noe why, its just like the NUS pals mentioned in the Monday blog post.
Lunch at LJS. Ordered a nomal meal but requested for coleslaw add-on. The guy 1st gave me a container of coleslaw, then gave me the set meal with another helping included. Checked with my fren's identical order; the container of coleslaw was mistakenly given after all. Thanks for the extra helping, LJS.
Went arcade at PS, tried the basketball-throwing game. Just throw as many basketballs into the hoop under a time limit. Time extension after certain scores are reached. My arm was so weak and tired after 2 rounds!!! Need to work out more i tink. But we went for a further 3 rounds after a rest. Top score was 914, here's how i did--- Round 1-68 Round 2-91 Round 3-102 Round 4-109 Round 5-75-right arm soooo tired by then. No energy left. But waaaayyyy off the top score aniwae. I didnt noe playing an arcade game could make me so shag and breathless.
Then we chilled out and I played his NDS. My fav game in there is Brain Age, a collection of mini-games. One of which has players write answers to a chain of simple maths qns, to be done in fastest time possible:
This game can realli drive pple crazy though, as u try to break high scores. Frustration added when the touch pad cant recognise some figures u write.
On the way back, MRT disrupted for 10 min or so.
Nw hav to start doin the freaking MA2108 tutorial. I dont tink i can do ani of the qns, even with hints provided. Realli, pure hatred for this module.
********** Im facing so many twists and turns, both at sch and at home. To express it in picture
But the ice cream tasted nice and sweet. Hope everything im facing nw has a sweet ending. **********

Tuesday, August 28, 2007 Things seem better
Long day, 10am to 9pm. Woke up at 730am, so damn tired cos didnt sleep well last night, tossed in bed from 11pm+ to 2am+. Tried coffee, made me so sleepy during phys tut but hyper at night. Things look better though. 2 friend appts fixed today. And this gal whom im sitting with in the night lecture, but didnt realli reveal much of herself to me yet, suddenly told me she holds blue belt in tae kwon do, plays the guitar and was active in track and field. Wat a surprise! Then asked me my talents? Umm... does being in sec sch choir count?

Monday, August 27, 2007 Short day in sch
Went for a 4pm-6pm lecture. And I was chatting with a friend, when I suddenly heard cheers and 'whoo' from the class. Turns out the lecturer had dismissed us at 515pm. Which means my transport time (1.5 hour,to and fro) was MORE than the actual lesson time spent at NUS. Talk about wise time management.
Then this guy, lives in Tampines, drove me home. Kept complaining bout the traffic condition. 'why so slow', 'wah lao this car just cut in like dat', 'why this gal switch lane so slow' blah blah. Haha funny guy. It was entertaining, and I joined in the complaining too haha.
Identity on channel 5 was ok. Brings new meaning to 'more than meets the eye' and 'dont judge a book by its cover'.
********** im not talking much to most of my mates (I feel) both guys and gals alike, in NUS. i dont noe why. Dont realli feel like talking bout anithing much. Cant start any chit-chat topics either. Searched Wiki, tink im suffering from something that starts with 'H'. **********

Sunday, August 26, 2007 Robot dance
America's got talent is realli a good show! Saw this robot dance video on youtube. Realli so cool! I fooled ard abit, but within a few twists in and my problematic lower back is hurting already. Oh man. Watched Prison break 3 1st 20 min or so, released by Fox as special preview. Seems so dark and twisted.
The 1st guy is good, but watch the 2nd guy, thats masterclass.

Saturday, August 25, 2007 Science bash
DXO science bash at 730pm, at 700pm we (4 guys, only me from NUS) reached esplanade and at that time still debating whether to enter! Guy A not from NUS, not interested aniwae so not joining. Guy B eyes hurting. so I persuade him not to go in. Guy C last min his galfren pop up. so i kinda isolated liaoz. noe 2 other hot gals from NUS, they in DXO too, but i didnt join them, cos they ar experienced, im not so happening (yet), and its my 1st time inside a club.

Friday, August 24, 2007 Puppets and odex
The moment I got home, watched Naruto Shippuuden episode 26, 10 puppets VS 100 puppets. One of the greatest Naruto episodes yet! (Nah I didnt download, i watched on streaming website.) But aniwae Naruto is not under Odex i tink. Odex lost their case against Pacnet! Its like the giants Singnet (Manchester) and Starhub (Liverpool) lost to a world XI team (odex), but Sunderland (Pacnet) beat them (appeal pending though). How ironic.
