As Exams draw nearer...
I'm still pretty intimidated by the fact that exams are so near... and they want to test on SO many topics! Crazy people. We don't have minds like Einstein oke... we are people with NORMAL human brains. Anyway, the some Australians here are super good. They don't do their homework and they can just sit there and understand everything. I'm like looking up(at the teacher) and looking down(reading text). SO IRRITATING! ARGH... yea... so it's a unfair world, but it doesn't have to be this frustrating right? Anyhow, felt really SIAN today. definition of sian = boredom + stress. WORSE combination. So since i'm bored and stressed i figure i go watch TV... "The HOUSE" Very good show!!! I also watched "Everybody loves Raymond". I actually tot that the Raymond show was super boring back in Singapore so i never watched it even once. But hey! I was wrong! it is very hilarious, be prepared to laugh ur pants off. Pardon my language... i guess my tone just changes when the stress comes in. Never happened back in SP becoz there were funny pple who made intelligent jokes.
Next goal is to look for people who are humorous enough... not lame. Lame is not humorous... overly lame makes a person appear dumb. Yea... miss all those laughter in SP. Haven't laughed much since i arrived here... nothing to laugh about!
By the way... i'm frustrated becoz of a lousy tutorial teacher who is a student. I can't believe i paid 2000 AUD to be taught be a student. Oh well, they do this in NUS too... tot i will just give everybody alittle insight to University life and to prepare those for what is to come in University. Firstly, you have to bid for timetable oke... that means... planning out ur own timetable. So like myself, its Mondays and Fridays are off. Before you all go WAH SO SHIOK AH, my tues and thurs runs from 10am all the to 6pm. FULL! On thurs i dunt even have time to eat lunch oke...
Though ur timetable is already nicely drawn up, IT'S NOT CONFIRMED! Reason: Your tutorial/ lecturer might SUCK BIG TIME! So you have to go find another lecture/tutorial to attend. A friend from NUS was telling me that they have lousy lecturers too... from China, cannot explain properly in english. Yep, so nothing is settled! Imagine all the changes and adapting i had to go through... ...
Next, your not spoonfed anything! You got to read up on ur own, find the textbk and READ!!! ALot of Reading... and the textbks are SUPER expensive. Its a MUSt buy to have textbk, or else it's like driving w/o getting ur license.
I've been changing my tutorial class EVERY WEEK! Not that i enjoy doing it... sometimes its for better teachers, sometimes its just to have a more organised week. OH and one more thing... you have to print all ur notes out urself... so... no class rep like Jimmy to help you with it! Be independent and pro-active in everything!
Yea.. the key thing over here is to have alot of good capable friends, so when anything goes wrong, they're there to pop over and help you with it. Oh and over here a car is almost like a necessity. Bus intervals are SO irregular during weekends! Yea... by the grace of God, he found me a friend who HAS a car! Haha... he drives me to church every Sunday to and fro! Yes yes... he IS rich, not really sure what line his parents are in, but.. he lives in a BUNGALOW and has cats, dogs, chickens and alot of other animals in his house! Haha... rich la rich... tat's why he dunt do well also nevermind. Anyway, he's doing this degree only becoz he is waiting to become a pilot. Pilot has got a minimum age and that's 25! So... just nice after getting a degree he go for training to become a pilot. Nice guy but ultra lazy and slack... ... he just wants a pass... how ridiculous... you pay so much money just to pass... tsktsk. What to do... he rich mah.
