Phew, I'm finally having a long weekend of 4 days. Okay, not really since I'm skipping tomorrow's lecture. I know that I shouldn't do this since it's only the second week of school but, traveling there and back robs me 4 hours of my time (assuming I'm traveling there myself). And traveling all the way to NUS for a lecture where I won't really be listening (the lecturer loves talking to himself and the lecture is NOT useful at all) is not worth it. I can do much more with my time. The traveling time saps my energy away. So don't uh-hoh me okay... I'm tired... Yes, I was out like a light last night although it's only the 2nd week of school and tutorials & labs haven't started yet, except for programming lab. Speaking of which, where's the lab TA who's supposed to be there to guide us??! If the lab TA is not present, we might as well do the programming on our laptop. Lolx. Back to the topic, the reason why I'm so tired is beacause I was busy checking out all of the welcome tea in the last entry to decide whether I should really join the CCA or not. And the welcome tea usually starts at 6.30/7pm till 10pm? It's 11pm by the time I reach home. Luckily my lessons usually starts in the afternoon. So far, I'm only going to join Invest Club because I think it's really worth joining. There is a really experienced guy (2 actually, not sure about the rest) who knows his stuff. He's a contra trader though and I don't really approve on borrowing money from the bank to play shares. It's WAY TOO RISKY. He made a lot of money from the recent crisis I'm sure, especially through contra trading. Hmm.. He's back to studying in NUS after working in the industry for some time. Hope I can learn more about trading in this club. =D I also applied for the exco position in Invest Club so that I can learn more about trading. Hope I get in. =x I think I will probably join Invest Club only. I don't want my CAP to be pulled down especially since this is the first year. University life is really, really different. For me, my timetable starts at 1pm except on wed (8am) for the past 2 weeks. Things are going to change soon next week, when labs and tutorial sucks. And I've made quite a few friends, from my Orientation Group (OG) to my friend's OG group. Though I've made a few friends, there's still this weird feeling buzzing inside me. Hope it goes away soon! Orientation Week (OW) was super duper fun. With all the war games, engin race (my group was slacking and it was OG outing for us =p) and Heart to Heart talk, I couldn't have asked for a better start to my uni life, especially since I was feeling super sianz and anti-social before that. Hahax. We warmed up on the 3rd day. \(^o^)/ There was our MIA OGL, Councillors (Hui Xian + Ah Ma), the magician, Engin + Sports camp pagent king, dance king, Xiao Xi, Pei Xuan and many many more in our group. =) 3 of them(the magician, Engin + Sports camp pagent king, dance king) are famous le. Hahax. Oh ya, got the blur Wei Han who's the "red light with green arrow" since the traffic light game. And I was dubbed the forfeit queen coz I was quite blur during the games then I keep getting forfeits. LOLX. So far there was the pool in Bukit Timah + Mutabak experience (which I skipped), OG lunch in FASS Canteen, Some chinese restaurant dinner in Dhoby Ghaut(Everyone except Xiao Xi came) and another OG lunch in Engin Canteen. Next up is the basketball outing at SRC in NUS, Engin Bash and mugging day! So happening right? There is supposed to be a OG volunteer RunNUS but since I'm getting a bit sianz about going out so often and very few people wanted to go, I cancelled it. Yawn~ Anyways, My interest in programming is back!
Congrats to me! I'm more motivated to read up on programming more but I hate my GEM - the lecture I'm skipping tomorrow. I don't really catch the ball in lecture and the lecturer is making me hate it. Boo~ Must Must try to like it. On another note, Yayness for my motivation to study! I'm really, really afraid that things in university will turn out like in JC. And that fear is making me study. Really Hope that things will turn out differently. Keeping fingers crossed.
