sch start

Yesterday was not a very good day. i went school but since i havent got my student card the sch didnt confirm my enrollment and thus i wasnt allocated a class. but turns out its not such a bad thing after all cos i anyhow find a class to join then i arrived late at this class tgt with a v.pretty girl called lynn. no,not u zx!! and the reason im late is really stupid. the sch started at 9 and the teacher emailed all of us at 7 to tell us A3 paper is needed! c'mon this is so obviously they wan to make $ la. cos really all flocked the bookstore to buy A3 drawing blocks at a bloody ex price of like $7 for 20+!! @#^$%*&^$&! today oso..

old lecturer: ok ppl, u all need to prepare 3 diff pieces of paper by the next tutorial which is eh.. 15min later.. kekeke.. oh.. the sch bookshop sells them..

Another $2.5 cheated..

Then we were told we no need any textbooks but the lecturer just introduced a suddenly 'compulsory' textbook and dozens of notes and stuff. the txtbk is $110. needless to say, he points the way with a wide grin at the bookshop.

Ta ma de.. cheat $ leh.. ok back to lynn, oh i mean my class.. so we started the lesson by drawing each other... kekekekekeke.. and thru the convo she said that she's from msia(another msian.....) and dun speak much chinese(another non-chinese speaking chinese) and had been here for 1yr. she's really nice to talk to la but our tutor sucks.. he speaks v.softly, like Mmmmmm..mmmm..mMmm!! then u have to ask him close-up afterwards then only can hear.. and i was not-so-surprisedly told that we will be taught drawing 4 only 1week and then we r on our own.. the reason im not so easily surprised is that the uni itself is a wonder! u got see sch everyday fair and have concert one?? so heres the deal, we r in architecture which requires drawing and photoshoping alot but we r only taught this 2 in 1week. sounds really moralizing =)

But then agn since every1 b4 us had done it y cant we right? the tutorial today anther joke. the teacher came in selfintro then gave a email then i hear till j.staughtin, then i turn to my right, liushuai wrote j.staughtOn, i turned to my left, ben wrote j.staughtaurn. i made up my mind not to ever email the teacher..and oh.. liushuai is from tianjin oso!!! we can form a 2-men strong TJ-gang liao. yay.. and so we spent 3hrs studying the concept of 'surface'. i still dunno what the hell it is.. and oso we made numerous paper models that must exhibit the 'surface' side. more ??s, and the instruction says u must crease,fault-line,fold,tactile,sheet,tessellation,texture,boundary,nomad,and mobius-strip the paper. hai... i and liushuai had a fun time learning new eng vocab instead.

I oso find it bloody funny when ppl call me Edmond. hahah.. so not used to it. and the angmohs all say surface as ser-fers. sounds like surfers. then imagine the lecturer said smth like 'a surfers can be flat or round and u cant move through them!' @_@ today lynn said, "edmond,wan go have lunch?" i laughed like a jackass.

And lastly i reached home only at 9pm today!! since 11 since i misread the timetable's 1pm as 11. heng i met david who have it gd. he yr2 11dismiss liao. i 6.15 then end. damnit.

nice

There r numerous sand arts vids arnd but i esp like this one. gotta give credit. watch! esp. the ending part. really nice...

wasted day

Wasted a day in school today. Apparently 1st week only need attend lecture so today actually no need go one. then i wan make student card 1st found out i nv bring enrollment confirmation slip. heng the girl say give student no. can liao then she asked 4 the tuition fee receipt. then --------______--------.. nv bring that one too. AHHHHHHHHH.. wasted $6.10.

After that go harvery norman return them the digital tuner crap and got back full refund! hoho.. this is a gd ctry. u dun like anything can just return to the shop and they must give u refund of some sorts.

I oso realised that none of my uni frens speaks chinese. these days, chinese kids aint speaking chinese anymore and no one can take life slowly anymore.. hai.. tml have lecture. im prepared to see ppl tearing one another's clothes and biting each other's head to get the best view liao.. u see how many ppl bring recorders of sorts lo.. its an 'ipod' lecture hall. can record from the com after the whole lec.

Anyway embeded a song. hoho see weiting! this one better hor? does it load on ur com?

sch starts tml

School starts tml.. hai.. boring..

orientation end

Today marks the end of orientation. not that its much of a big deal.

So everyday is basically go sch, listen to endless talks abt endless things, walk arnd with david and sometimes shiemin, get goodie bags IF they r free, rant abt the ridiculously lousy and ex canteen food and finding suitable CCAs. And today im cheated leh. their advertisement says $3 for 1hotdog,2donuts,and a free 600ml coke. sounds like hellva good deal la then when i pay ... its $7!!! then i #@!%$@$*^%#& there write $3 leh, the waitress smiled and said its $3 MORE to get the 2donuts and drink. wah i resee, kao.. the 'more' word is so subtle every1 would miss it.

And im gg to join Taiji quan! woohoo. gg 4 the 1st lesson next wed. glad that its free but subsequently its $90 per 24lessons. cheaper than the rest but still scary price. fencing's cool and nice but its $110 and ends at 9. if i live at hostel then gd lo. cos 6am can go pool swim, then at night go fencing at 9 then go com lab play lan thru the night.. keke.. cos 24-hr access to computer labs mah.. but day dream only la, i live 1.5hrs away from sch!! bloody slow tram, take train only need 50min but more troublesome.

The school think they v.cute oso. many confusing and potentially insulting rules.
Like 4eg, u need to enroll to use e coms, but u need the com to enroll.
Another is u need to enroll to see the timetable, but we only got to enroll today and the coms need to process it out only on monday. heng monday no sch and our faculty head, miss 'invhearhername', got print 4 us. nice lady nonetheless that she 4got to print half the timetable. haha..
