I am deprived of sleep!!

I need more time.
Everything is going soooooo fast *woot*

Cant wait for the weekends to come.
I must practice Maths.
I must I must I must!!!

School is getting better. Not as bad as before.
Blame it on myself that i want to go on a holiday.
This is the price to pay. hahah!!!

Here In Bangkok!

hey hey.. i am here in Bangkok-Silom.
In an internet cafe.

Why am i here? coz i am broke.

In fact, I didnt pay for this session, my friend paid for me.
So ya.. i am this broke. ha!

Jac n Hui's new HP!

I have gotten my Acer Laptop!
No time to open up and use. Will do it after I come back.

Went to meet jac n hui, wanted to "chat" online with fiona, who is in Australia via web cam. Little did we expect, jac's sister didnt on her router and she locked her room. So we cant access the internet.
I know fiona wants to skin us alive. *sorry*

Accompanied hui to West Mall to get her new HP!!
Nokia 7610!!!! She has been eyeing on that phone for quite sometime, glad that she has gotten it.
Busy exploring the phone at Mos Burger, took a nice pic:


Counting down: I am leaving tmr!!!

procastinating

I am so bored but I am happy (contradicting), dont feel like studying.
I am procastinating, I know i have lots of readings but i just refuse to open that "holy" book.
Classic example, Intro To Psychology.
I am like 2 chpts behind. But i STILL refuse to read it.
I dont know, just dont have the mood to do so *shrugs*.

I dont like the psycho lecturer. He is such a pain in the arse!
He keeps comparing NUS students with NTU students, he was from NUS. He has been teaching there for 10 years?! If that place is so good, then why in the first place he wants to leave?
Higher remuneration? Too bad, then he has to blend in. Stop comparing!!!!
(no offence for NUS students)

He is the child-ish-est lecturer i have ever come across.
We have this thing call Edventure. Its like blackboard in NP.
He wrote "I am disappointed about the rowdy and inconsiderate behaviour that students display during lectures" something along that line.
I mean he doesnt have to do this, we are all, or almost all- adults.
I thought as we move up into teirtiary level, lecturers are all heck-care?!
hmmm.. weird.

Oh ya. another thing. We have this Research prog for our pyscho mod.
We are the guniea pigs for those who are doing research/ projects.
They award marks. So, its compulsary.
HE (pyscho lec) has been nagging at us to go to the RP board to check out the available projects and told us to particiapte actively. nag and ang.
He even scolded us for not doing our part, cause we never go check the board.

Ok. fine. we go check!
Guess what....... there is NOTHING on the board!!
No projects on hand now.
Then why is he making so much noise? duh.... .....

Anyway, I am not gonna let him spoil my mood.
I am HAPPY, still HAPPY!!!
dont know why? even my friends also find me weird these days.
They ask why am i so "high"??
hmm.. i have no idea. mayb partly is because of the trip?
i also dont know.
whatever, its always better to be jovial than sulky right. ha!

counting down: 2 more days!!!

My 1st test in NTU

oh my.. I am not lying. I am not.
Think i am gonna flung my first test in NTU.

I was taken aback by my Macro paper today.
I studied all the irrelevant stuff. (eg, CPI, GDP defaltor, Y=AE etc etc.)
In the end, none, yes NONE of them came out.
No calculation question.
My eyes almost dropped out, my heart at my mouth, palms dripping with sweat.
U name it, i experience it!
In my whole student life, i never felt so lost.
I mean really lost..

The question is something like: US Real GDP per capita is US$30,000, while Mexico Real GDP per capita is US$3,000. Can we say that the average American is 10 times richer than the Mexican?

lost lost lost. hahah
I crapped all the way. I think the lecturer expects us to write at least 1 full page of ans, since its an ESSAY test. I crap lo. I wrote a page of rubbish??!! haha.

ok. see how "well" will i score for this paper. ahahaha.
15% of my total grade.
Nope, it wont affect my mood. I dont feel sad. weird right.
Mayb as one goes older, it tends to take things lightly? hmmm...

Counting down: 3 more days!!!

tanning/movies

This morning, my mum accompanied me to sch to apply for the pc loan for my laptop.
She never bring her IC along..??!!
When you apply loan, need IC right. why she didnt think of it huh?
Anyway, its ok. i just need to bring her photocopied IC on mon, the guy will then process the loan for me. Anyway, sat and mon doesnt really make a difference.

Wanted to leave the school asap.
179 was very crowded. I couldnt squeeze up the 1st bus, the 2nd bus too.
Gave up waiting. Walked out to Xingnan Pri to take 242 instead.
Went tanning with Ian.

The sun is GOOD!!!
Laid on the tanning chair to "enjoy" the sun, reading newspapers at the same time.
I forgotten to tan my back. So now i have 2 different shades!!
Heck! who will see my back anyway, it will be covered.

Met up with Ian's friend.
They want to watch movie. There were no good ones.
No choice, watched The Maid.
Its not nice, the story quite lame.
I believe its not scary for most of you, BUT i find it otherwise.
I was hiding behind my backpack most of the time.
So michelle pls dont watch.... u will be scared out of your wits!!! ha.

Went for dinner at Youth Park, they have this new Kopitiam Food Place
Al Fresco Dining concept food stalls that sells local delights. (i.e BBQ fish, chilli kangkong etc)
Other than the Hokkien Mee, the other food is not worth trying.

Need to study tmr... Mon got test!!! Try to finish my homework asap!
oops! tmr we are going to joel's place. His 21st bday. Another present.

wohoooo..!!

But....before that, macro essay test is coming, this mon- 22 Aug.
Must study first. ha.

Getting the hang of it.

Things SEEMED to be getting better.
Can better cope with my tutorials now.

Gaining the momentum.
Know the arrangement, know how to allocate my time.

Now trying to look for a tuition kid,
extra income needed. :)

Half Dead

yes.. I am half dead.
Struggling through my "SMALL" pile of tutorials and textbook readings.
I have to push myself really hard.

The economics knowledge that I have aquired back in poly was APPARENTLY insufficient.
The current one is soooooo detailed.
I am trying hard to understand what the lecturer is talking about.
Especially Maths. They call it BASIC maths for economist.
oh well, basic huh. yeah yeah. -_-"

Daily routine for me:
1)Wake up in the morning. Prepare;
2)Squeeze up the bus;
3)Attend lectures or tutorials in the crampy tutorial room;
4)Lunch then back home
5)thought i can rest right.. WRONG! Open my textbook. READ READ READ and READ.
6)Do tutorials. Usually cant do, cause its too "chim"
7)Dinner/Rest, watch TV
8)Continue with schoolwork
9)Check mail/blackboard for notes/tutorials
10)Sleep.

and the cycle continues... ...

Have been doing that for 2 weeks already.
Will be doing that for the rest of the semester.

Wow.. what an interesting and vibrant learning experience!

Heavier Workload

Time files really FAST.
Its already the 3rd week.

Have a Macroecons essay test on the 5th week
which means its like 2 weeks from now..??! *gasp*

Workload is getting heavier these days.
There seems to be a never ending "supply" of homework to be done.
Alot of readings to be done, alot of highlighting, alot of flipping, alot of underlining etc. ha

But i am coping fine.
TIME MANAGEMENT!!!!

Looking forward to 26th Aug.
Counting down. 16 more days!! yeah..!!

Pyschology Minor

I am beginning to feel lucky that i cant take psycho for my minor.
Technical jargons are coming out.

Super taxing lecture.
We were like, "What the hell is he talking about?"

But Mind Over Stress was fun!!!!
nice lecturer.
Took a Are You Type A Personality test today,
This test tries to find out whether are you the high adreneline kind of person whereby you want to do everything fast, or the slow and take it easy kinda person.

My score was like 30.
Its the overloaded, exploding soon range.
lame. haha!
NOT REALLY TRUE!!

Kana Dua by my tutor

Remember that I had to take eng lessons?
ok.. my 1st tutorial is today. This morning, 08 30hrs.

Was late for tutorial. The queue was like soooooooooooooooo long. It stretched all the way back to 4 berths away. Thats very far.
Luckily the queue was moving fast.

I reached at about 08 50hrs. Was quite pai seh to enter the class.
First lesson late, and i registered for the class alone, so i dont have any friends there la.

So i knocked on the door, and enter the class.
The students thought i was the tutor.

so the tutor was late!!!
or rather the tutor never appeared!

the whole class is waiting for him/her.
dont even have the courtesy to post online that there is no class today. *shake head*

Alot of PRC people in class, sian.
They are bloody hardworking people.
They are reading ENG etory books with highlighted sentances, one of them even brought an eng electronic dictionary along.

I waited till 09 00hrs. Decided not to waste my time anymore.
Siam is the next logical thing to do. ahahah!

Blur blur blur!!

I am trying hard to understand what the Gu Qingyang is talking about.
I have absolutely no idea!
His Maths theory is so confusing!!

Even my friends from JC are confused by his explaination.
I m even more confused!!

I am trying hard.. very hard actually, to understand.

I miss Dr Andrew Toon. My bridging course lecturer back in SIM.
His explaination is super clear and easy to understand!

Dont worry I am Fine. Just complaining a little!

ok.. i am fine.. really!!

I am just bitching and complaining thats all.
After all, its expected. I mean I am mentally prepared for this.

I am always this sway! ahahahah
Take it easy man.
Like what Ian said: "I pay so much for the school fees, must make full use out of it"
ahahah.. Lame!

Though the time slot is a big turn off, I still LOVE school.
(fyi: its Thur- 8 30AM to 10 30AM!)

So ya, today is a sway day for me.

To sum it all up:
1) I cant take psycho cause of A Maths
2) I failed my English Proficency test
3) I ALMOST tumble down the stairs cause i missed a step.

I hope thats it! Pls end here... ....

What A Waste!

I want to minor in PYSCHOLOGY-HP101!!!!
but i cant!!!
what the shit is this?

Why cant i?
In order for me to qualify for the 2nd intro module, i NEED to have at least a pass in 'O' Level A Maths, which apparently i didnt take.
So i dont qualify!!!!
What the shit!!!!!!
Waste my time lo. I am taking the 1st intro mod this semester (HP101), and i cant continue!!
What a waste...

Anyway, i attended the 1st pyscho lecture today, its interesting!!!!
Wished i could take it.. ahahah (forbidden fruit always taste better.. hehe)

So i ahve to choose another minor to take for my second semester..... sigh
No worries. the psycho mod that i take now will still be considered under my Unrestricted Electives. I need to fulfill 36 AUs for this component.
So ya... that all for now.

Gotta rush for my next lecture---Mind Over Stress.. eheheh
another pyscho module...

Ciao!
