Weird, but..

It's the end of the first week of school! I'm actually a lot happier now than last week, when school hadn't started. Why? Cos I've gone through each class once and it's some relief to know that they're more or less ok. (Except econs i guess but nevermind) More importantly, we've got the course outlines plus the prof's explanation of what the module's about. Even more importantly, most of the project outlines are out so we've got work to do! Sounds kinda sadistic, but it somehow feels lots better now that we know what to do so we can plan our next step.

Today was Vivace i.e. SMU CCA day! Loved the atmosphere today in school! Super happening=) Jess and I joined SMU Film Society too (aka Movie Club?) LOL. I'm not able to take this term's Intermediate Salsa class though=x Pretty disappointed about this since it served as a great destresser throughout my Year 1. Oh well.

Been thinking a lot lately. Oh wellll. Some things are just beyond our control. Bah.

That irritating carol left for M'sia on tues! Hope she can get used to the food! Wahahaha.

Beijing 2008

Was just watching the 50km Race Walk, and.. it was really amazing. The determination and perseverance shown by those guys was just so unbelievable. Especially when the champion - Alex Schwarzer - came into the stadium, I could just feel that emotion emanating from him. All that effort just paid off. Mannn it's truly amazing.

School's started! and I need to get my motivation back!

MetamorphoSIS 2008, among other things

Ok so the really big event is over. At least, it's one of the bigger events I've helped to organise so far. And I've learnt quite a lot from it, from a few photoshop tricks along the way, to invaluable lessons on human relationships. So many things have happened since we formed the organising committee - we lost a friend, but forged many new friendships. And not to forget we now have nearly 250 new members in our SIS family.

Stress levels were high and we saw some different sides of the people we usually work with, some good and some we may not want to see so often. Even then, it's quite sad that relationships may be tainted due to a few clashes in working styles. Naive perhaps, but one of the things I say about SIS with pride is that most of us know each other and are friends, and I really hope this holds true till I graduate (and beyond!).

Well, everyone made mistakes, (I think I made quite a few=x) but these are inevitable and it's probably the least we can do to grant our friends some leeway. University is afterall a stepping stone to the working world - sure, we can be pissed off and all, but as a favour to your friend, tell him/her. If it's not appreciated, then at least you've done your part and it'd be up to that person to improve.

Oh well, really hope things go well. In any case, despite feeling somewhat doubtful about my decision to join MetamorphoSIS 2008 halfway through, I'm really glad I stuck to it. It was, and still is, a success!!

School's starting again! Hmm. Just gotta do my best I suppose, not sure what to expect.

Gambatte!

And carol's going off to KL on monday! Guess I'll (kinda) miss her. Been seeing her practically daily this week, so I'm sure she'll miss me too since she won't be seeing me for the next 2 weeks! wahahahahaha. Carol: I wanna take more polaroids!!!=D
