First Day of NTU
finally officially an undergrad of NTU. haha~ am i excited? er... well, i really wanted to say "hullo? wut's so excited about going back to the life of burying our heads into books?" to sound normal, but seriously, i am pretty excited. haha~
ok, the day started off on an extremely tired note, like blowing a clarinet without enuf air... i tried to force myself out of bed at around 8am and my body jus seemed to have developed a mind of its own, especially when it started to give me back pains as i did my morning stretches. promised to meet jer for breakfast at 8:15am, but i only managed to climb out of bed at 8.
jer and i settled for breakfast at canteen A, the tip of the north spine of NTU campus. on the way there, met lots of ppl, including army frens (yih hao), ex-jc-mates (yeokhui), pri-sch mates (weiqiang). haha~ it was like a small world of NTU and everywhere i turn i meet ppl. but it's not necessary a good thing. i met liao zhenghan, and i put up a very professional looking face while making a phone call. the pretentious side of me... haiz. haha!
anywayz, yupz, i had my breakfast at canteen A, had egg prata and macdonald's iced milo. the egg prata kind of reminds me of my mum's flour cake, but the curry was nice enuf to offset the sogginess of the prata, making the prata actually taste nice.
off we go to nanyang audi to meet kokwee. weiqiang joined us there too cos he was alone. collected the nice goodie bag with the nice organiser. haha, i'm a sucker for goodie bags nowadays. keep collecting them. so cheapskate right?
because we were relatively much later than the ppl who came earlier (doesn't mean we're late), we settled at a huge room with the live telecast from the actual auditorium where the procession was held. it was, well, spastic. we were staring at the screen and we could not really hear wut the professors and speakers were saying. the only interesting part was putting on the robe and saying the uni pledge.
all the while, there was a bunch of rowdy guys behind me who kept giggling at EVERY single thing. no no, the gigglings weren't jus gigglings, the gigglings were like those from pri sch guys when they were asked to hold the girls' hands. YESH~ they sounded like dumb, immature, childish ppl. so spastic.
haha, then there was the weird light up, when the lights were dimmed and we were all asked to take out the light sticks from our goodie bags to wave in the air (including us ppl in the separate room).
left the ceremony early without eating the reception food (yesh, alvin, do i hear u gasping?) cos it was getting lame and boring (what the hell is the skit there for?). so we went to visit the cca fair where i met MORE ppl. signed up for quite a number of ccas, but may not join some of them AT ALL... was forced into signing some of them actually, but i did do some quality check one la, totally refused to sign up some no matter how hard they tried. so in the end, i signed for
1. Canoeing
2. Fencing
3. Film Society
4. Photo-Videographic Society
a lot right? heck.
went for jiang mei qi and fan wei qi's concert in the evening at NTU's MLT with weiqiang, thanks to kokwee for the tix. the concerts quite enjoyable, but i was hoping two of them would perform more of their old songs.
went to collect textbooks from jasmine all the way at hall 15. GOSH! i got lost somewhere in hall 9, tinking there would be a path leading to there (the two halls look damn near to each other on the map). but apparently there's a thick forest in between them and i had to make a detour all the way to hall 11 to get there. damn tired from all the walking. but at least i got my notes now! haha~ thanks jas!
i'll be having my first lecture tomorrow (or rather technically today). am i thrilled? am i thrilled? am i weird to feel thrilled?
*looking-forward-to-lecture*,
