Y1S2W2
Here's how I spent my second week of the semester.
24th October / Monday
Had my first Idea Jumpstart (IJ) class.
We had to build a roller coaster with straws, pipe cleaners, masking tape, vanguard sheets and plasticine. I think we had a pretty good idea (well I supplied the main idea but I'm not praising myself!!!) and it worked really well at the start but because we shifted and all our roller coaster didn't work in the end.
It's okay though, it was fun doing the roller coaster with Piaomin and the three other guys. Actually, I can't really remember their names. Jason (?), Jeremy and Zheng Wei. We're staying in this group too for the upcoming projects so I really, really hope that my group mates are not slackers. I'd rather have people without too many talents than have slackers.
Also had my first Sports & Wellness class (S&W), I got into Pilates :) I'm with Phoebe and Vanessa. Other FMS people in our Pilates class included Youxin, Abigail (whom I sat next to in various lectures last semester) and Jodenia. There were only two guys in our Pilates class, one of them is corpulent, has really fair skin and extremely sharp nails. He grew his nails out and cut them into triangles... :/ The other guy seems normal though haha.
At night, a little over 11 PM, I threw on my cardigan and headed to McDonalds' at King Albert Park to get some Oreo McFlurry because I was craving for it.
25th October / Tuesday
Tuesday morning found me in Principles of Marketing Comm (Marcomm) lecture in LT73B, aka the no-reception theatre HAHAHA. I remember what Izzy posted the first week we had a lecture there... "This is too smart. No phone service in LT 73. :("
The day went by pretty uneventfully, we had our lunch break at Munch, where I had kimchi noodles and Phoebe got curry noodles. Then came Graphic Communication (Gracomm) and Location Video Production (LocVid) lectures after that, and finally school ended. Stayed behind a little and snacked at Munch with Josh and Terry. I had one curry puff from Old Chang Kee and two chocolate bun things from Mr. Bean... It was raining pretty heavily so Josh loaned his umbrella to us (a wedding gift from his cousin's wedding) and Terry gave me a lift home.
26th October / Wednesday
Deepavali. Bought breakfast (carrot cake for me, waffle for the boy) and headed to the boy's house to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix :) Wanted to get prata, but Enaq was closed :( Headed over to West Mall and watched the boy have KFC for dinner hahaha. He gave me the whipped potato that came with his meal.
I love the whipped potato from KFC... Loved it ever since I was a kid. :) I couldn't eat it a lot when I was young because my mum thought of KFC as really unhealthy (which it is). But the first time I tried it, I fell in love with it hahaha. The taste was etched into my mind foreverrrr.
I got a pack of Hot & Spicy Chipsters and devoured them at night alongside a mug of Milo. And then I slept really late... As a result, I got a slight fever and sore throat the next day.
27th October / Thursday
Was dreading this day, mainly because of Gracomm tutorial.
Media in Society (MedSoc) tutorial, thankfully, was pretty intriguing I guess :) Taught me to look at things from a different angle. And the best thing? I can totally relate to the alternate view(s) because it all makes sense to me. If you don't already know, I've been having a really hard time in recent months reconciling with people's differing views because what other people think just do not make sense to me.
We had lunch at Makan Place because we got sick of Munch. I had guotiao noodles :) And banana juice! Which reminds me, I owe Phoebe money cos she paid for my banana juice first because I didn't have spare change.
Intro to Web Design & Comp Graphics (Webgra) was pretty fun as usual although I was rather distracted throughout the lesson doing my own experiments on Photoshop hahaha. Give me Photoshop over Illustrator anytime, any day!
Then came the very much dreaded Gracomm tutorial. I started feeling too tired (having slept late and because of the fever/sore throat) so I just tuned out and started researching pictures of dip-dyed hair online ahahha. Phoebe sat next to me so we started discussing dip-dyed hair avidly. I am going to get my hair dyed brown first, and then I'll dip-dye it a few weeks after or so.
Was supposed to go for Contemp Jazz at O School after school but I was exhausted so I allowed myself to go home. Wasn't quite in the mood for dance anyway, to be honest... :/ Although I did feel guilty about skipping class.
28th October / Friday
Had lunch at Munch with Zexun and Lizheng!!!! Before my class started. We all had Pepper Lunch :) It was pre-planned. I always feel this sense of affection for them, people have no idea hahaha. My friends from secondary school are always special to me. :) We talked and all and I had a really good time.
Met with Theo, Dynn, Josh and Joyce afterwards and discussed our Marcomm project.
LocVid tutorial from 3 to 6 was fun and enriching as usual. Did some experimental shots on the camera with Phoebe and Vanessa and it was fun! Our tutor seemed pretty pleased with us, too, for trying.
Headed to Al-Azhar afterwards with Terry, Davin, Dynn and Theo and watched them have dinner. We headed back to school with the idea of going to Scarefest in mind but the queue was too long so we decided to head home instead. Terry sent me home again! Thank you.
All right so that was my week. I don't know if anyone read through all of that but yeah, I just wanted to remember how my week went.
I might be changing my blog layout soon. I like this one, but somehow I just keep getting the feeling that the font used for the post makes the blog repulsive... In that it isn't easy to read. I know I could just change the font but I really don't want to because this font fits really well with the layout, I feel. So I'm going to just start making a new layout - a more comprehensive and better one.
Met up with Chinkiat for lunch today - he treated me. We had Italian at Pepperoni Pizzeria and man it was delicious. I couldn't finish it though... Portion was a bit too much for me haha. I went to the Boon Lay SAFRA to play L4D on my own whilst waiting to meet Puiling. We met at Jurong Point. I had a ball of time catching up, reminiscing and walking around :) We should meet up more often, PL!!!!!
