20070807UPDATE!
i actually brought my laptop to hall in the end. haha
moved in on sunday afternoon
lou came too but she went home and will only come back on monday morning
so i was left all alone in the hostel
peiwen came over to my hostel
had some youtubing sessions and some phototaking session from my webcam! haha
after that we met shimin and hweeli
went to jurong point for dinner
jurong point on a sunday night is horrendous
i think its even more crowded than orchard la
this is super absurb
it was so packed that we could only walk slowly
and food court was off the list because i think you probably can't find any seats
ate at ljs
had a good laugh there
den we took bus back to hostel
got back to hostel. bathed and did my laundry
washing your own laundry is TIRING
seriously. i take like half an hour or probably more than that to like bathe and wash clothes these days
after everything i used my com
den suddenly i think some person just knocked on my door and whistled
or maybe its just somewhere else because apparently i can hear someone's alarm clock ring in my room
shows how hollow the wall is
but i was totally scared. living in the hostel alone on your first day isnt really great. haha. somemore my neighbors aint in too
slept and woke up in the early monday morning because i was fucking hungry and thirsty
there's only like 1 water cooler in my block on the ground level
so you wan to take water have to go down 3 storeys, walk to the water cooler and then climb up again
and the hostel is so hot that i just feel thirsty all the time
so i got up. went to take hot water
and i ate cereal in my room
and some other biscuits i bought
how pathetic is that
but i alone dowan go canteen. hahahaha
later on at around 9 plus lou came over
we got ready
dressed in t-shirts, fbts and sports shoes for the nbs freshmen welcome thing
they said we would playing amazing race and asked us to dress in comfortable attire
so i interpret that there would be running involved so i went in that attire
well. i guess comfortable attire has different interpretions to many people
you will see why later
anw we walked from our hostel to nbs
cos our hostel is near. haha
i actually brought a map along but lucky the venue was easy to find
when we were near the venue we DIDNT see anyone dressed like us
most of them were like in nice shirts and shorts or bermudas
some girls even wore mini skirt la
i TOTALLY feel out of place
anw. went to lee kong chian lecture theatre
found out that i was in grp 2
den we had like boring speeches from people which i almost died in the lt
before we went to tutorial rooms to begin ice-breaking
the very sad thing is i'm the only victorian in my group
actually group is your tutorial class
sighhhh. the only person i know was like shannie which is like jingting's friend
hahahaha
so we played ice-breaker games and some other games
one of the games we played was like snakes and ladder
which is suppose to be fun although i don't exactly like it
well. that game make me feel like a completely dumb blonde
because if your group's token end on a box that has a circle, you have to answer a question regarding the business world
even our mentors said it was hard for them
what about me la pls
so the game started
and the questions they asked were like
"whats the current president of the federal reserve?"
like no mcqs. but some guy in my cls totally answered it correctly and even gave the name of the previous president
other questions include top 3 richest man in the world
i know the 1st in bill gates and thats all
totally i need to increase my general knowledge or sth
they asked many more cheeeem questions that stunned me
but what stun me most is that my clsmates know the answers la
i totally just sat at some corner and keep quiet
lol
after that was lunch
which i say is pathetic
TOTALLY PATHETIC
like rice with tofu and 2 fishballs?!
its just not appetizing
after lunch they brought us around the school
bombarded us with so many info and places
they even took us to NIE. like why would i go there la pls
not much info registered in my brain loh. totally useless
oh btw if you don't know that was the so called amazing race
basically just walking around in that big maze
after amazing race ended. we went to nanyang auditorium to collect our matric cards
den me and lou ponned early and made our way back to hostel because there was joint hall dinner at 6
we got lost finding our way back. but in the end we did made our way back to hostel on foot
totally great achievement okay
went back to hostel bathed and changed
by the time we left our hostel was alr 6
carnt imagine if we stayed on at the stupid welcome thing
took bus to nanyang auditorium this time because we are dressed up. haha
picture on the bus!
reached there
found some hall 1 people belonging to simpsons group
so we just chup into them
know some people
at that point it kinda makes me regret not joining hall camp
but i really think i will have no time to move in if i have joined
so pros and cons bahh
the thing was suppose to start at like 630
but we only got into the nanyang audi at like 740?!
hellllloooooo! totally hungry ghost festival for us la
what i eat for my lunch isnt filling eh?
i was totally famished
when we finally went in
there was like THOUSANDS of people
when they announced the start of the buffet
everybody just chionged to the foood la
the queue and crowd was just overwhelming that while queuing, i couldnt even see the food at all
when we finally got to the food. not much food was left la
by the time we took the food and tried to start eating
i alr famished till full alr
just eat like some rice and chiken and some random things
took some random pictures
me and yumin! haha. like seeing her after a long time
with the simpsons people. not a very good shot. haha
er scandalous. i forgot the names of the guys but can recognise the face =X
den there was like this clubbing thing but not really clubbing la
more like party
yup. i felt damn tired la. and abit like out of place since i didnt join hall camp
nvm. it takes time to know people
and then the music they played weren't exactly great
so me and lou and some others left at like 9 going 10
walked back to the hostel in another way my friend brought us
totally disgusting to just navigate around in ntu loh
anw. you SHOULD NOT wear heels in NTU
unless your pain tolerance level is like SUPER DUPER HIGH
lou almost died just wearing heels for a night only
hahahaha
we shldnt sacrifice for the sake of fashion
got back to hostel and tried to like navigate around for more information
like ntu doesnt tell us anything because they don't believe in spoon feeding us
we spent the rest of the night exploring those websites
and my blackboard is lke scary
so many announcements and all la
they send more like 1 e-mail per day
mostly nonsensical but still. if you dont clear. your account might just explode
slept at like nearing 2am la. totally
den we woke up at like 8
reason being again that we were SO HUNGRY
went to like hall 1 canteen to eat
had beehoon and all and tea!
its like the ever proper meal since tha ljs meal i had on sunday night
made me feel happy after eating la
den went back to hostel
got changed and all
went to nbs for my first lecture in university life
Business Law
it sounds okay to me but sitting through the lesson made me feel as if i was in greek lesson
tell me what is
ratio decidendi??
obiter dicta??
i heard it like throughout the lecture not understanding anything
only to find out what it means at the end because there is definition at the back of the notes
and there was some other cheeem english used by my lecturer
like totally scary because the lecture is only an overview
you have to actually go read up on yourself
HELP HELP!!
anw that lecture was like from 1030 to 1230
2 hours lecture la
den i had NO BREAK
1230 to 230 i had like accounting I lecture
that lecture was much better because at least i grasped what the lecturer was trying to say
and there was some very amazing videos in between
after that lecture my day ended
went to have lunch with some of my classmates
den all of them went home after that beacuse they dont stay in hostel
lou had like another seminar from 230 to 430
she totaly had no break at all
the school is totally out to kill us la
anw wanted to wait for lou so we could fo Free Access Lab (FAL) to print out notes and tutorials
we have to print them ourselves
so while waiting i decided to try to find the FAL myself
i took like half an hour of walking aimlessly before i found the FAL although they showed us the amazing race
see how gay ntu campus is
met peiwen and hwee li there
lou ended at 430
met her where we tried to go to popular
needed to buy stationary and stuff
mind you. there is only ONE popular in the whole of ntu la
we spent almost like 1 hour finding popular
climb hill and go down hill until i want to die
when we finally step into popular it was totally another disgusting thing
there were like 2 cashiers
but the queue was so long that it went around the whole perimeter of the small popular
and books were stacked in mountainous pile
so we spent like almost another hour just queuing to get our stuff paid
den we took some fugly route back to our hostel la. lol
trying to explore ntu is DISGUSTING
anw. because monday was like orientation and thurs was a public
fantastic ntu has like REPLACEMENT LECTURES/SEMINARS
so apparently tmr wed i have no lessons at all
i could have like gone home today la!
BUT
BUT
BUT!!!!!
i had replacement tutorial tmr
from 830 to 1030
at some venue called CR1 which i have no fucking idea where is it
well done
and most of my classmates have a different timetable from me
so they are nt going to that tutorial tmr
i found one classmate which is the same as me
some guy which is called stanley and i carnt remember how he looks like
i dunnoe how am i suppose to like meet him and find CR1
university life is FUGLY!
and you think i'm bad enough
you should pity lou
she also have no class tmr
but her makeup SEMINAR is like from 5.30P.M. to 8.30P.M.
congrats to her totally
only can go home at like after 8.30p.m.
and she will have nothing to do in the day la. lol
so looking at her i shant complain
and i know how come all the hall people are so lean!
i'm like exercising like siao everyday just walking and climbing around
i hope this is some good slimming down session
alright. i shall just end here
I MISS HOME! i wanna lie in my comfortable bed and all! ):
