Uni: week 1

The first week of uni lectures has ended and I have to say school has been pretty overwhelming so far. Lecturers teach at lightning speed (one of them has an incomprehensible accent) and the topics are so foreign! Stats! Marketing! Organizational behavior! :00 

At least I have background knowledge in econs, which makes following lectures alot easier. But still, in the first lecture we studied from PPC curve all the way to elasticity!! That took a few months to cover in JC. 

Gone are the days where lecturers go at snail speed to accommodate students :( never appreciated by JC tutors more. I guess I need to learn how to be more independent in my studies. Haha but how do I stop procrastinating? I keep getting distracted. I even procrastinated to read the anti-procrastination article that my dad told me to read... The irony XD

Also NTU is so huge! I don't like to meet people on the way because I'm panting and sweating from climbing stairs and walking location to location lol. Wish we had genting weather here in sunny sg. 

Hopefully I'm not alone in feeling stressed and lost. I want to adapt to school soon! That day Peter was telling me that his first impression of me was that I'm zen, and for Jingqi it was that she thinks too much :00 complete opposite! I get stressed easily and Jingqi is super chill. I recounted to him a story: in J1 project work, my Preliminary Ideas (PI) got rejected by my tutor 5 days before the deadline and I was so stressed that I cried and prayed haha. Surely enough, i met 2 people who helped me finish my PI on time! Thank God! And for jingqi, I think she got rejected even later than me but she had no reaction?! Like I was beside her when the tutor told her the news and I felt my heart drop for her lols. And of course Peter bingo-ed Jocelyn's first impression--- blur and confused. Hahaha!!

Resolution of the year: Trust in God and be zen~~

Living on the wild side of life~~

On Monday me and Jocelyn wanted to attend the nbs orientation talks like good students would. Not surprisingly, with our terrible sense of direction, we couldn't even locate nanyang auditorium. (._.) We got lost for 45 mins (the whole duration of the talk) and when we arrived, the students were already streaming out. One of the female ushers said- because we missed the whole talk, we weren't entitled to a goodie bag. OTL ttm. Jocelyn attempted to join the queue of people streaming out but easily got recognized by the female usher LOLOL. At that moment we saw a male usher (who looked pretty friendly) pushing a trolley of extra goodie bags and Jocelyn and me stared at each other... And rushed towards him in big, aunty strides... 

In Jocelyn's pov of the story, I activated my "sad-teary-puppy-eyes" (??) while explaining to the usher that we didn't mean to miss the talk but we got really lost. The male usher was in a super 为难 position. So at last... (I'm not supposed to tell anyone about the outcome but... It was pretty positive ;) ) kekekekekeke

After the whole orientation program jingqi suddenly invited me and Jocelyn to crash at her hall for the night! I was quite hesitant because I was thinking "what about my toothbrush! What about my retainers! What about my dental floss! (lol)" The teeth cleanliness freak in me came out. XP I also worried about where i'll find an orange because i like to eat oranges everyday *awkward silence* (._.) But because Jocelyn and Jingqi were so keen, I went along with them! In the end, I didn't floss or use retainers for the night :0 and didn't have an orange :0 we played saboteur for a night time activity while waiting for our hair to dry then proceeded to sleep. 

The next day we went to play pool! Jocelyn and me teamed up and got owned by jingqi for 7 rounds and we finally won the 8th round keke. Jingqi is great at pool so for every ball that goes in, a "jingqi" happens. When Jocelyn gets a ball in she would also hit the white ball in so that phenomenon is called a "Jocelyn". Whereas for myself, whenever I hit a very fail-proof ball, it would rebound from side to side of the hole and thereafter, FAIL, so that is called an "Angela". {(-_-)} le sigh.

After that it was time for Jingqi's orientation program so she went off to school and Jocelyn and me went to Haji lane to shop, because we watched Qiuqiu's budget Barbie show and there is apparently super nice and cheap clothing there. In the end we only found clothes with average price- $80... Super unfruitful shopping trip TT 

We were so shagged at that time but the adventure wasn't over just yet!! Jingqi, Jocelyn and me went to playnation to play the dance game. Halfway through our session Jocelyn's lover(?) came to join us hahahaha. I shan't give details and risk being murdered by her lol. And so... we danced with all our might and became really sticky and went home. And we missed the last train and cabbed home. 

-end of the wild 2 days- XD
