Haha think i'm blogging at the same time as mummy now. Coz we r juz sitting beside each other in the com lab!
Ok time to summarise my 1st dae of sch... Felt so sleepy this morning coz last nite i din sleep much (u can't imagine how
hot it is in my room)... This morning woke up at like 7.10am and can't get back to sleep eva since. Freshmen welcome ceremony was pretty boring, except for the caucasian shuai ge that we saw (he's in choir and performed at the ceremony!)... Haha we seldom get to see good-looking guys mah, so quite exciting! =X
Anywae my hall is pretty quiet lor (which is good i guez?) so no one to fight wif us for the bathroom and all... Goodness i think i'm dozing off as i type this lor... Better go back and get some short rest. So i guez i'll blog another time... Perhaps tomorrow? No promises haha.
Oh and i put this 'Psycho-social aspects of effective communication' as my General Elective lor... Anyone who knoes wat the hell is this pls kindly leave me a note haha...

Well. I'm moving into hostel tmr. This officially marks the end of my 8-month vacation. And marks the start of my university life... Think it's gonna be a tough ride ahead...
From tmr onwards, i wld hafta live in that tiny enclosed space during most weekdays... I wld hafta bathe in that small shower cubicle, settle my own meals, my own laundry, and do everything myself. Actually those r not realli THAT hard, but i'll realli miss my dearest bed and most of all, my mum's cooking... I can already foresee myself feeling homesick and losing sleep tmr nite... =(
Since there isn't any com in the hostel, i'll be updating here less often... Dun miss me alrite? Haha... Well, let's juz hope the 1st week of sch goes smoothly for me and may i be able to get used to varsity life soon... All the bez to me and all of u freshies out there! Till the next time, BlueStar out.

My course timetable is finally out. And I was surprised. Surprised to see that there r like so few lectures and tutorials... This thought juz struck me - that perhaps after 12 long stressful years of studying, i may finally be able to study the wae i want now... In a more relaxed pace, with more freedom and time for myself to revise wat i've learnt and do more in-depth research about my work, and perhaps truly enjoy the process of learning... I knoe that university life may not be as slack as it seems to be, but i guess nothing can be worse than the JC years, when all my time is spent on rushing homework and frantically studying for tests... I'll neva forget the kind of tremendous stress that i underwent when i knew that i had to spend more time to study more throroughly for my tests but simply had no time at all coz there was too much homework to deal wif... So i juz hope that university life can at least be better than that, and that i can have enuff time to revise my work and understand everything better.
Lessons officially start on next tues for me... Well, good luck to me and all of u freshmen out there...

Well well tmr i'm going to my hostel for the 2nd time... Going to bring along lots of stuff to dump there... Hehe going wif my mum though coz she offered to help me clean up! Thanx mum... =)
Ok guez i haven't mentioned about the
condition of the room. One word - appalling. I mean firstly, it's realli small, and yah there is dust everywhere in the room plus the floor is totally dirty. Ok i guez i shld correct myself - everything in there is dirty, not juz the floor... The lights r dim, the fan looks as if it's gonna fall... Conclusion: It's juz simply not wat i had expected it to be.
We cleaned up the room once when we first went there on thurs, and tmr we r gonna clean it up again... Hopefully after this round of cleaning, it'll look at least more fit for humans to live in. Or else, i oso dunno wat shld i do liaoz.
Sch is starting, and i'm gonna move into that tiny room soon (to be exact, it's this coming sundae). Hai juz feel veri xianz about sch... I can still remember the JC daes, the work, the stress, the lack of sleep blah blah... Can't believe our 8-mth 'vacation' is over juz like that. Shall make full use of this coming week to havoc and do wat i wanna do, coz we realli dun have much time left...

You're quite a quirky little creature. Your
emotions are varying. You may appear childish
and innocent, but you have a tendency to freak
out. You're incredibly random, but it's good to
be unique. People know you're an odd one, but
you certainly don't mind.

I'm so happy that
greece won! They realli deserve the championship!
This morning's match was indeed a veri well-played one. The greeks displayed their flawless defensive skills and and showed that with team spirit, they can create a miracle... But my heart broke when i saw Cristiano Ronaldo break down and cry after the final whistle... Juz felt
so sad for him as he cried his eyes out kneeling on the field... Poor guy. =(

'Never ever give up hope, coz even during the darkest moments, as long as you are willing to try, you can still see clearly the path laid out in front of you...'
--- BlueStar
This was a quote written by yours truly after the 2 hr blackout experience last nite (or rather last last nite)... Frankly speaking, besides the discomfort caused by the humid air (due to the lack of fans/aircons), the blackout experience has actualli been a veri enlightening and interesting one... At least for me, as i've never experienced a blackout like this before...
Imagine me trying to on my irc, and suddenly, the com screen went blank and i was surrounded by darkness. As i looked outta the window, i realised that there was complete darkness outside as well... That was when it dawned upon me that a blackout has taken place... There were cheers from some ppl downstairs (which i assume they were insane or sth), and i heard some screams from the neighbours' kids as well... Within a short span of like 2 mins, candlelight filled my hse and the atmosphere was, unbelievably, peaceful and perhaps even romantic. I went to the window and peered outside, and surprisingly, i can actualli see everything veri clearly. My dear pri sch, roads, blocks of flats, ppl, cars... Never did i realise that nite, without the light from street lights and all, can actualli be so beautiful and that visibility can be so high (well perhaps it's coz my eyes r special)... It was this sight that inspired me to write the abovementioned quote (whether it's lame or not, it's up to ur own discretion)...
In the 2 hrs that followed, i idled ard the hse, fanning myself continuously, and even sat beside a candle to read a book... I imagined that in my grandparents' era, they actualli did this every nite... It's juz this veri indescribable feeling... If not for this blackout, perhaps we wld not have known how much electricity meant to us, and how our previous generations had managed to survive years in these kinda 'conditions'... Seriously, i felt that i had learnt an impt and precious lesson from this experience, and i am realli thankful for that.
Now, as i look out of my window, i see the view in front of me in a new different light...
