A Hectic Week
So Many Things to Do!!!
It had been a hectic week. Finally, I managed to squeeze out some time to type out my blog. Yup, anyway, I've already maytriculated, and now, I waiting for round 2A to start, so that I can bid for my Physics module, and 1 more module, either 1 module from Singapore Studies, or 1 module from the SARTORS requirement (business/management module).
Monday
Ok, this is just one day that I can relax. Well, basically, there's nothing much for me to do on that day. I decided to catch a movie "Thank You for Not Smoking" at Cathay Cineleisure. Well, the movie was not bad, quite funny actually.
Tuesday
Met up with Hong Joo, Kai Quan there at Clementi to go for the Engineering Welcome Session. Well, Hong Joo also met up with one of his friend, Jia Cheng. The 4 of us went to take the bus to NUS to meet up with Hui Huang as well.
Well, the welcome part was kind of boring, with the introduction of the Faculty of Engineering members and all these things. Well, the vice-dean also kept mentioning on how we had made the right choice of doing Engineering in NUS, mentioning all the rankings, SARTORS accredition and so on. Ok... After that, he went on to talk about what we could do next time when we graduate, the faculty requirements and the university requirements, and also a bit about the modules.
After the vice-dean talk, we had a talk by the Engineering Club memebers about the activities they are organising. Well, they kept encouraging us to take part in the Engineering O Week, but then there was only a limited slots for us... Hmm...
Lunch was catered buffet. Well, we queue for the food a bit late, so we were only left with fried rice, bee hoon, and those food that people didn't want to take. Hmm... Still felt a bit hungry after lunch...
After lunch, we had a video presentation about CORS, the module bidding system. Well, we can't really sleep during the video presentation, or we might miss out a lot of things.
After the welcome session ended, Kai Quan wanted to meet his friend, who was having a welcome session at School of Computing to pass some things to him. Well, we decided to accompany him along, so that he won't feel bored. We went to the canteen at Faculty of Science, and had our snacks there. Well, I was actually having my early dinner there, eating wanton noodle, as I was feeling quite hungry since I didn't eat much during lunch. Well, I have to say that the food at NUS canteen is cheap. Haha...
Wednesday
There's a Maths revision going on during that day. Well, I decided to come along since my standard had already dipped. Yup, think now my standard uis equivalent to a primary school student... Anyway, the lecture was about Sets, Funtions and Com[plex numbers. Well, I realised that my brain had become so rusty, I couldn't really recall much what I had learn last time... Hmm... Must be because of Army...
Thursday
It's our matriculation day. met up with Hong Joo, Wenhao and Jian Hao at Clementi station. Well, I arrived a bit late, so they had to wait for me there... Haha... Anyway, we took the bus there after that to MPSH.
Well, as Hong Joo and I arrive a bit too early for the matriculation (well, they had actually allocated the timeslot for us), the person there told us to come back again at our allocated timeslot, as they did not have our matriculation card. Well, ok Hong Joo and I decided to go out and wait before our turn comes. Well, at our allocated timeslot is the next timeslot, so we didn't have to wait for too long. Well, poor Jian Hao had to wait until 3pm for his turn... Not really sure what he did during the meantime though...
Anyway, after we matriculate, we collect our NUS bag and mug before proceeding on to the fair on the 1st level. Well, there was a notebook fair going on during our matriculation. I wanted to get a notebook, but still can't decide on what model to get yet. As the notebook thing might take quite some time, and we had to go to the 2nd level for some other things, I decided to get my notebook the next day, which is Friday. Yup, the fair will still go on until Friday.
We then met up with Wenhao and Hong Joo's friend outside the notebook booth, and we went to the 2nd level together. Over there, I bought a matric pack and a engineering pack, which cost me a total of $20. While we were walking across the ECA booths, we were always being stopped by the people there, to listen about theiractivities and so on. I sign up for a few of them, can't really remember what I had sign u[ already. Anyway, I also sign up for NUSSO, but subsequently got rejected as I had not enough experiece with the orchestra and the instrument as well. Sorry, there's no piano section in the orchestra.
Well, I also applied for the DBS-NUS Debit card. I thought it look kind of nice, so I applied one, with most of the people as well. Now I need to wait for about 2 weeks for the card to arrive to my home.
Friday
Well, by right I should be attending my maths revision lectures on that day, but eventually, I had to give the 1st lecture a miss, and I had to be late for the 2nd lecture. Well, the notebook thing just take too much time...
In the morning, I met up with Victor Cheng and Hong Joo at Clementi station. Well, why do I include Victor's surname onto this blog? Later you will know why. Anyway, Victor Cheng wanted to change his passbook acount from thumbprint based to signature based, so he wanted to visit a POSB branch before going to NUS.
When we reached the MSPH for the notebook fair, Victor Cheng and I were still deciding and discussing which notebook should we get. Eventually, both of us decided on Fujitsu S7110 notebook with Victor Cheng's friends, and my JC schoolmate, which is also called Victor (well, it's Victor Lee). As Victor Cheng was using free-interest loan to pay for his notebook, it took him only a short while for him to finish since he didn't have to collect the notebook on that day. Well, as Victor Lee and I were using the "Cash and Carry" payment, it would take us some time for us to finish. Yup, when I queue up, the person asked me to come back in another 30 minutes time, so I decided to have my lunch with Hong Joo first.
Well, when I came back to the notebook fair, it took me 30 minutes to make payment. Yup, I'm using 100% NETS, even though the notebook cost me more than $2300 after the memory upgrade and getting the Microsoft Office 2003, since I have to NETS card, 1 is my POSB Go! Enhanced ATM card, the other is my orange POSB Debit card, which can be used as a NETS card as well. After that, I waited another 30 minutes to collect my notebook. After that, I had to wait for another 15 minutes for my turn to come to fixed up and check the notebook. After that, I had to spent another 15 minutes for the person to setup, configure and check the notebook for me. Once done, I bought the notebook insurance as well, which cost me more than $80. Yup, it was already 2.30pm by then, the start of the 2nd maths revision lecture.
Before the lecture, I had to go to the central library to check on my CORS. Yup, almost coulnd't find my way to the library. After that, I had to find my way to LT7A, which took me quite some time to find... Yup, walking on the engineering blocks is like walking on the maze, you have to find the way there. Different paths and staircase will lead to a different place... The levels are also confusing, when I entered the building, I was already on the 4th storey... Hmm... Look like I better familiarise with the place, or I'll had problems when I study next time... Managed to reach the lecure theatre by 3pm.
Well, I realised that I had missed a lot of things from the differentiation lecture. They taught the things that was not important for our A Level syllabus. Hmm... Luckily there is a webcast for us to view on the internet. Ok, hopefully this would be the only and the last time I had to do this...
After the maths lecture, Hong Joo, Daniel and I had to go to the Zhen Hao's party at Aranda chalet. Well, Victor Cheng was not coming along with us, as he had something on later. We then took the bus back to Clementi to wait for Roger, and at the same time, I was waiting for my father to come and bring back the notebook for me. Well, after putting the notebook and stuffs onto my father's car, we went straight to the station to meet up with Roger to go to the chalet.
Well, the chalet was kind of like a platoon gathering, where we gather around at talk about stuffs and things we did or are going to do after we ORD. We stayed up quite late. Yup, it was really late, when we realised the last train will be leaving at 2323 hours from Pasir Ris. Hong Joo, Wenhao, Daniel, Kai Quan and I had to run to the station in order not to missed the train. Well, even though Kai Quan and I will be taking the carpool home (with my father's car), we still ran along with them. Haha...
Saturday
Well, the flute lesson was just as usual. We pracise from our textbook and the flute repertory book.
Later, I met up with Kai Quan at Cathay Cineleisure to buy tickets for the movie "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift". Well, BSO wanted to watch the movie with us, so he ask the 4 of us, Wei Qiang, Hong Joo, Kai Quan and me to watch the movie with him. After buying the tickets, Kai Quan and I had our dinner at Burger King before Hong Joo, Wei Qiang and BSO met up with us.
Well, the movie was quite nice and exciting. It kind of reminds me of the movie "Initial D", as the racing concept is kind of similar.
After the movie, as Wei Qiang wanted to catch the fireworks display at esplanade, we decided to go along with him to watch the fireworks.
After that, we went to Marina Square to find a place to eat as Wei qiang and Hong Joo had not had their dinner yet. After walking around for quite some time, we then decided to settle down at Cavana. Yup, I order a Chicken rice there, so that would be my 2nd dinner. Haha... Well, I didn't eat much for breafast and lunch, at I didn't had my popcorn during the movie due to time contraint, so it isn't so surprising to have a 2nd dinner.
Sunday
I was feeling so tired in the morning... Anyway, I told my parents that I won't be going out to have breakfast with them, as I wanted my beauty sleep. Yup, I slept quite late last night (or should I say this morning). My father then bought my sister and me hotcakes from McDonald's when he came back home from breakfast.
I was a bit late for my violin lesson in the afternoon. Well, I was still feeling very tired during tha time. Actually, I didn't realy feel like going for the lesson, but anyway, since there would be a scheduled holiday next week, for both Saturday and Sunday, this means that I would not have my flute and violin lesson next week. Ok, so I just attend my lesson as usual. Yup, made a lot of mistakes while practising with the rest of the class... Hmm... Anyway, I didn't have so much time to practise... Well, hopefully things will get at least a bit better...
Didn't really had my lunch as I was feeling a bit tired to eat. Well, come to think of it, I had been eating quite a lot for the past week. Yup, and I didn't run on Wednesday evening and Saturday morning... Ok, so think I really need to train up more next week... Yup, SSBR/AHM is nearing...
