just 2 days and my shoulders are killed. ><

it seems a great deal to be able to get our own notebooks and use them during our lessons, mainly during the practical. however, this is not the case.

just imagine you have to carry them everyday to school, climb up the many slopes in the campus, and have to worry about it getting stolen when you are not careful.

"one minute," the police said during the orientation briefing, "it will be gone." (if you are not careful, and not just for notebooks.)

and despite the fact that you may be bringing only your file, pencil case, water bottle, and possibly your one or two stacks of module notes/coursebook, which seems much lesser during secondary school days, it turns out to be much more heavier than those times. it seems like you are bringing your entire study materials back home to study for revision.

sianns.

i got to hand it to our lecturers in SP.

ONE week ONE module topic (chapter). and we at most see each other for 2 days a week (1h session). at most 2.

and they can finish the entire chapter within that, 2-3h timeslot. dunno how they are going to do it.

they didnt seem to be teaching at a very fast pace or what, and the content is not less.

praise the lecturers *bows*

there's a big hole in my pocket. or rather in my parents' pocket.

yesterday i was given $50 to buy my coursebooks, which i spent $29 in total. den my ez-link card was low in value, so i topped it up with $10. today got to purchase IEB notes, $9 gone. and after i exited popular, my wallet's nth but coins and cards (ez-link, student card, phonecard, etc).

alright, alright. i got a confession to make [here only]. actually was going to spend only a few bucks in pop for a couple of stationaries, but then i saw this array of discounted [old] games. the sims [1] hotdate [which i am missing] is going at $12.90 and it used to be around $20. so you know what happened duh.

i guess i'm going to fork this amount out from my piggy bank lah.

and there's something funny at the counter. there i was, laying out the things for payment, then this auntie (A) says [to her friend] this the sims is old one de. den the other say you got play meh? den A said she play sims 2 and suddenly, she asked if i have the base game which is needed to play. i told her i have and she pro upgraded to sims 2 liao. auntie nowadays also very updated one can? LOL.

tomorrow's quite a long day too, though not as much as thurs. sighs.
