Yesterday's matriculation marks the start of another phase of my life as a student. Again, the cycle of the awkward period begins: being blur at all the admin and what not modules bidding, making choices,feeling small and 'nobody' cos you are just a Year 1 freshmen, finding your way around school, trying to make friends, etc etc. Fortunately, had friends for accompaniment to go through this awkward phase together and hopefully it will be fine

Anyways, FASS is really different from what i had thought. i didnt know we had to take that many modules outside our major .omg. I went in with the mindset that i will just do general subjs in the first yr and from the second yr onwards i will just have to concentrate on my major and if i want, on my minor as well. Actually, that will be rather true if one tries to complete all the random modules by the end of semester 2,but i find it kind of impossible? The whole requirements thing is kind of frustrating and you really need to plan in advance to make sure you get the degree at the end of yr 3 or yr 4. The CORS system is so complicated too! After selecting modules that you require/like/have interest in/don't like but helps ur grades, you need to ensure that it comes under the requirements, ensure lectures and tutorials dont clash, then bid. Bidding itself is like watching the stock market which i have no experience or whatsoever. On top of that, i may not get what i have bidded and you need to rethink about your modules and adjust them to fit your timetable again. wahh.. stressful ar even before semester begins and i need to repeat this process for another 6-8 times. i want a timetable like before!

ok this is so unavoidable; thus i shall have to grow to like CORs. And my favourite bus is 151. yay.

ladeedum. my bodyclock is quite screwed up. went to bed at 2.30am, tossed and turn till abt 3 am, woke up 7am to go for the health checkup at nus. Its my second time there cos i wasnt able to go through the chest xray on monday simply due the place being overly overly crowded. haha but i was done in like 2mins today, in and out of the place.

Then had breakfast and walked about in the heartlander Clementi area, shopped a little too. afterwhich rushed home and came out immediately for lunch with my mum and her cousin..Frankly, i feel quite uneasy around her, cos' she always on some serious adult topics like health,marriage, responsibility, family.When she starts giving me advice, all i could do is to look at her and nod and nod and nod. But she's a nice auntie! And from her, i have finally confirmed that i am a FLAT-FOOTer. Almost flat. groans. she tells me i need to take care at a early age or else i will suffer from knee joint problems in future. Also, i'm required to visit a podiatrist to create an special insole or some artificial arch for my shoes. ahh i think it means i cant wear flats too anymore..

That aside, been boosting the economy lots over the past months. feeling rather guilty about spending my $$$ but i will think of it as all in name for the greater good of Singapore. In just these 2 weeks, i've already bought:

1) 2 mng tops from their further reduction sale (wont usually buy mango, cos i feel the pinch even though tops are considered cheap at $30)

2) 1 tank

3) 1 pair of jeans

4) Blue sweater

5) Loreal hair mask

These excluding meals have already sucked $110 out of me. My temperory tuition wage has been blown out simply in just 2 weeks. And i still need stationery to prepare for school ! yikes

Hana Yori Dango

In <3 with Hana Yori Dango again! I've watched the japanese version last week and done with both 1 and 2. I would say i prefer the japanese version much more to the taiwannese one. Plot is at a much faster pace and i could finish it in a day, which is so unlike the long sappy draggy korean dramas I have grew accustomed to.Now, i find parts of Liu Xing Hua Yuan rather lame, cos the lines are quite cheesy especially when said in poorly enunciated Mandarin. I.e, i remember this line which Dao Ming Si said to Shan Cai, it goes something like that "如过你跑掉,我会一直追你,追到天涯海角,即使是到地狱去".
Wikidrama has translated to "DMS : (whispers slowly) I like you. I like you so much that even I think it's weird. In my eyes, I can only see you. Shan Cai, I know I can be very annoying. But I want you to know, if you run away, I will go after you. No matter where, even if it's hell, even if you run to the edge of the world, I will be there. I want you to know one thing, that is I want you for sure."!!!! * suffers goosebumps all over "* That said, maybe because its a foreign language and i dont have single idea what comes out from their mouths in the japanese ver it dosent seem as ewww..

ok, the show's good,the soundtrack had wonderful songs too.Some of which i liked (click for link):
In Hana Yori Dango 1,
Planetarium by Ai Otsuka
In Hana Yori Dango 2,
Flavor of Life by Utada Hikaru. Utada Hikaru's voice really just blows one away.

I'm suffering drama withdrawl symptoms now, I've got nothing else to watched....

blog 'revamption'

Oh no...my blog is so dead, it can be sent to the cementeries already. I suspect, nobody ever lay foot here any longer since most friends have ceased blogging. Hoho, actually i've written some stuff just that i gave up halfway, i.e about my trip to Japan, alas, there were so many pics that i grew lazy to post them up cos im an idiot at that. and i've written other random stuff too.

But, while tossing and turning in my bed this morning ( say about 2am, i've become rather isomniac since I have been sleeping ALOT lately), I've decided to revamp my blog! Will make it a more attractive space to induce me to blog. Ok,shall see the results in a day or 2, hopefully.

tata..
