These few days
I realised maybe sometimes I should blog in small little snippets rather than huge long posts.
A mixture of both will be fine.
Oh, had quite a "happening" few days.
Actually it's not very happening, but in times like this, anything out of the mundane will seem like random fun and greatly felt and appreciated =)
Monday - heard from zhimin that macro lecture has ended, and so have its tutorials. Also, Zhimin keep telling me about how the sem has passed so fast, when we first complained and were so restless for the 6-8pm lecture, until today, it was the last of LKL's lecture. In a weird way, I'll miss her as a person, rather than as a teacher. As usual, stayed over in school.
Tuesday - Nothing noteworthy here, except getting 10 marks for Choelboem! First time getting full marks for an assignment for this module, it's nothing much, but it made me happy nonetheless =)
Wednesday - Had a great rest day, but shocked to find out the my blog post about NUS' accomodation problems has been "tomorrowed". Well, while it sounds exciting at first, the part which they quoted me is not representative of my post at all. When cyberspace complain about the mainstream media, I think they are guilty of the same thing too. Rushed to pack my stuff for a 2-night stay (again) in school, and went for tuition, after which I whacked bus 30 back to NUS.
Thursday - Malay Presentation! It was a massive, massive 30 percent for an around 10 minute group presentation, so I was rather nervous and serious (what's new? haha) about it. We had some technical glitches, pronounciation problems (as usual), but glad our skits pulled through. Really grateful that Cecilia and Patrick just acted out their best, totally better than when in our rehearsals.. I think Cikgu Sew was impressed by our "props"! haha. For TA at 10am, every group's presentation was good, fun, and informative, so I loved every minute of it. Surprisingly, we were asked to present again during the lecture! Usually it indicates that we are the "best group" of the tutorial, and I'm really very, very relieved and happy. It's a massive 30 percent, and I really can't afford any slips. Actually, I'm still feeling very happy about it =)
From there, I kinda realised I'll miss the people in TA. Although we seldom really talked, I'll miss the smiles of everyone, the "roll eyes together" whenever Cikgu Sew gets over-engrossed in his "jokes", and that sense of "we want to learn the language because we love it" feeling.
TB was more disappointing, as after the TA's groups have set the standard, their presentations just paled in comparison, in terms of being interesting enough.
Evening - Joshua, Xinyu and I went to run! So glad to don the famous Brooks running shoes again, after a long period of busy-ness. We ran around Kent Ridge Park, Science Park I, and from Science back to Arts, and the scenery was really good =) Natural Heritage!
Friday - Went to the AS4 recording studio to record the song for Remmy and Caleb's NM MTV project, it was quite fun! Didn't even know NUS has a recording studio in the first place. Oweek anyone? heh. Initially I was really demoralised as I couldn't hit the key, but after having much adjustments, I finally found the right key to sing the song, and hope it came out well =)
Ok, I thought I'll keep it short, but the long-winded me has made it rather long again, ha.
A happening few days =)
