struggling with uni life...
finally back for another update..ever since sch started just didn't have the time and energy to update...i must say this is one of the most challenging times of my life so far..uni is more tiring than i expected..and the fact tat i stay in the east just makes it ever worst..the pace in uni is super fast..totally diff frm poly in the past..if u dun study for just one day..u wld suffer..so everyday i would have to study..the fact tat i have sch everyday till like 1630 by the time reach home bout 6 plus 7...feeling drained and tired frm sch and the train ride just makes it worst..sometimes i wld go home and take a nap first..but end up waking at 1 in the morning just frm the exhaustion..
i am the type tat will panic if i dun understand something..and right now..i am close to freaking out..i cannot answer most of the questions in the tutorials and tats not a good sign...
haiz...just toking about it makes me feel stress and pressurized... i have nvr been so hardworking before not even in my poly life..really dunno how much my body can hold on...

first week of school...
before i talk about my first of sch in NTU..did i talk about my ORD day..?? dun remember talking about it..anyway..ya..ORD already..the day where all NSF are waiting for..well mine has come and gone..but the excitement i was expecting well..was not there at all..it was just like another day..tats why my msn nick tat day was..."just another ORDinary day.."well...maybe its cause of sch starting the following day...well...sch has started for a week already..lucky first week no tutorial..so can slowly get used to waiting up early..getting used to the super long train rides to sch..getting used to finding the correct lecture theatres..(i was so lost on my first day..cannot blame me also lar..wanna find out more msn me..haha)..slowly getting back to the student life..
had to skip e first 2 days of sch cause haven ORD yet..so had to skip the first few lectures and a lab...at first i tot it was ok..just the first lesson nothing much..but then the lab was super impt..miss one session and u had to wait till the next semester..tat was wad the lecturer emailed me..i was shocked when i saw the mail..luckily we made arrangements for a makeup session and everything was back to normal..really cannot imagine me "repeating the module" and adding on to my already busy schedule..
so fat the lectures have been ok..some were very fast but with studying at home at ur own pace its ok..so far things have been better than expected lar..well..when the tutorials come in next week it will be a whole different ball game i guess..
well..shall post till here..i needa get my bio clock fix..i am turning into an owl now...haha

i must say i realli like some of the photos tat i took tat day..i was like"wah..i took this photo ah"..it was realli a great feel to capture flowers up close..unfortunately tat day was the last day of the festival..so all the flowers were dying..some of the stalks were bent and broken off..imagine wad the flowers wld have looked liked on the first day...most of the photos tat day were flowers...very few had picstures of either huisi, adelene or myself...haha..in fact onli like 5 outta 160+ photos got human beings inside..the rest all plants..haha..

it was history day as much of the time was spent learning bout the history of singapore..and it was realli interesting..din know i liked singapore history so much..first went to the nation museum..realli like the history of singapore portion where we were given a companion liked device which gave explanations along the way..after tat went to clarke quay where i learnt a little history about the place..how was it like in the past...the impt ppl in tat area which made trade possible in the past all those kinda stuff..the the comparison frm then and now..u'd be surprised theres not much changed..the facade of the place is still the same..as we walked round clarke quay had the change to sample some beer and learn how beer is made..tats when i learn a valuable lesson..NVR DRINK ON AN EMPTY STOMACH..it just speeds up the getting drunk process..especially for me as i will develop reactions to alcohol on the next day..although i din realli drink a lot..the effects the next day where quite bad...had a little hang over in the morning somemore..lucky could still go to church...
