Rainy School Days

I'm serious. Every day i've been going to school so far has been rainy, or going to rain. And everyday i didn't have lessons was sunny.

These are the statistics (i've been doing stats hw *praiseme*)

Mon (PH): Sunny
Tue (stats): Rainy - Around lesson time some more
Wed (FA): Rainy - Around lesson time some more
Thu (Econs): Rainy - Around lesson time some more
Fri (Vivace, no sch): Sunny
Sat: Crazy hot.
Sun: Drizzly, but pretty sunsun too
Mon (BGS, CT): Rainy - Around lesson time some more
Tue (stats): Gloomy morning leading to rain
Wed (FA): Gloomy morning nice to sleep in.

SEE?! And a lot of times it's like i leave the house, and the sky looks grey. I reach school bus stop and it starts to rain u_u

Anyway, that aside, school's been...pretty okay. But seeing as how the workload is a little pressurising (especially after 8 months of inactivity) and projects haven't even come in yet, i'm a little scared and hope that i'll be able to cope :S

I like my BGS prof, and my BGS group who basically spent 30min + talking about LoTR and Marvel Comics and movies ^w^ sounds like people i can get along with haha. Workload for BGS isn't too bad yet, so yay~

CT is fun, especially because 10+ of us bidded for it, and it's a slack mod. Visit to the arts museum and artsy homework that's not homework ftw!~

So i guess this makes my Mondays less blue :P

Stats is by far the worst. It's terrible. Sutaip is some crazy prof who is in love with R - some programme SMU doesn't use at all -.- All the downloads came from ".....nus.edu.sg" lol -.- And he complicates what ought to be simple. And it's ridiculous that his answer sheet workings are all R codings =____= especially because we do it manually and use calculator. Added fact is that we're not gonna be using R for exams, but our trusty calculator on pen and paper -.- /bigsigh AND OMG he finished early and just dragged...and then even said after dragging a lot "i have 7 mins left but i want to use it" why can't he be like my FA prof? :(

FA is dry, but my prof is very approachable and nice and i guess him making us do hw of chapters he's going to teach before he teaches them helps us know what he's talking about more. So yea he's pretty effective. Best thing about FA is that it's the 3.30-6.45 slot, so the prof says his battery is dying and gives us more breaks xD He's also been letting us off early whee~

Econs is not new in terms of subject, but i guess i find it more interesting now than in JC, because it seems much more relatable now. There's a lot of reference to the current economy and what's going on which makes it easier to understand, feels more like Global Economy :3 And i guess you have to listen in every lesson to do well because there's always a quiz at the end of it.

I realise though, i probably am not gonna do very well for class part except for maybe CT >_< because even when i have questions, i don't really want to ask them in class, because i always have the fear that it's a stupid/farmer-like question or something that i'm supposed to know :/ i'd rather consult the prof during break or after lesson...haiish

Anyways, to all the friends who have just entered uni, wishing everyone all the best in adapting and excelling! (:

Changing of Seasons

So, i'm sitting here, enjoying my last...hour or so of school holidays before departing for school.

Frankly speaking, i'm scared. Really scared that it'll turn out that i actually suck terribly at business. That i won't do well in anything. That i'll end up simply mediocre.

It's a new school, a new season, and the last of my youth. After this, it'll be work and endless work until retirement. I dread starting this because it'll mean that the end is drawing ever so near. I think i've got the Peter Pan syndrome where i never want to grow up, never want to face the responsibilities that life intends to throw at me, never want to have to go with the flow and move on to adult-ish things. I'm scared, scared, scared.

Is there more to life than this? Definitely, but i'm still stumbling through, finding my way, and praying for the right direction. I guess there's nothing to do but trust God and believe that He placed me here for a purpose and He will not let me sink.

---

As a definite sign that i'm going to be in a totally new environment, i'm sitting here stressing about my outfit. Stressing about whether it's too casual. What if i go into class and everyone's like dressed so prettily (which they definitely will be). I'm probably under dressed, but i kind of don't wanna wear a dress to stats which is a math class which is uncomfortable enough so why dress uncomfortably?!

Gah. I don't want to become a person that thinks too much about these things like a typical SMU student or something. I just want to be myself.

So yeah, wish me luck (: And thanks to all the awesome friends who have already wished me all the best for school -hearts- (this is me being lazy to get the symbol)

Restarting the Engine

Mmm...spent today studying a little...

It was hard. Like, because my brain has been in stasis for 8 months, so it's like "ZOMGGGG WHAT'S THIZZZ?! WHAT ARE ALL THESE FORMULAS?! /(@A@)\ \(@_@)/"

I can't believe my first lesson of my new sch term is stats. meh. I'll do well for math this time. I will. Yes, i will...

And my stats prof is crazy enough to be the only stats prof i know to be using this out of the world R Programme x.x like...i tried. we tried. and we gave up. got super fed up with it X_X it's like...we follow the instructions but we get errors/warnings/nothing happens. The only time something happened was when i used the example in the lect slides and i had no idea what i was doing :X which means...i definitely can't replicate it. Yay :(

Still, it feels nice to be productive again. Feels nice to have the engine starting once more after so long. It's good i guess, to have people to spur me on to mug. Four years of this...hope i can be consistent? :s

Wonder if they're trying to make math programs seem better by giving them cuter version names or something...

Dl-ed some compulsory apparently helpful (have not seen it's use yet) math program tool...it's version is called "Roasted Marshmallows" whut.


My phone is so chio (in the normally understood meaning) and purpur that i'm so happy! ^.^v

Touch Base

I love how even though it's sad that as we grow older and our paths diverge more and more so we have lesser and lesser time with each other, time spent together is still the same and great fun. (:


When we first met we were 13. (I don't have any sec 1 pics lol...not in this com, not of all of us, so deal with a sec 4 one)


Now we're (mostly) turning 19 and soon to be two decades old ((oAo))));; (bad quality due to dim lighting at xue's house :P)


Here's to many more years of fun! ^^v (I honestly wanted to add another group pic, but we have too little of those :X)


Special ♥ to snail~

Odds

Okay, i'm really scared...

The interesting thing is that this was not a pre-assigned mod. And this was an ulu ttm prof... I'm surprised she bidded for him >_<

I'll probably be dao-ed lol...awkwaaaard...

Anyway today i bought a lot of nice things ^^

Thanksgiving

As school is starting soon and i'm moving on to a new phase of my life, i think it's good to look back on the past 8 months and thank God for all he's done in the year so far.

---

1. For the good friends found in JC and all the good times spent together camwhoring and nuaing ^^
2. For the everlasting friendships with sec sch friends and the sporadic fun outings we have!
3. For the three months of rest and soaking in His presence.
4. For the opportunity to learn more about Him and draw closer
5. For the time given to catch up and spend time with Di after so many years
6. For the results that i'm still not sure if i deserved
7. For getting into the school i wanted
8. For a great community and ministry to serve in
9. For His protection during the camps so far
10. For the great group of friends found especially just after i was worrying and fretting so much
11. For the lack of crazy drinking/clubbing in my camp groups especially after all my anxiety!
12. For His comfort and reassurance
13. For the time of rest and relaxation
14. For getting all my bids and the people i'm bidding with
15. For His continuous love shown

I've been so blessed (: While i didn't get to do all i wanted in the last 8 months, i got to do plenty, and i'm glad for that. (Not that i wouldn't welcome more long breaks xD)

Also, one thing i've really learnt from the past 12 months would be:

God's will, not mine; God's plans, not mine; God's time, not mine.

Bidding

First attempt at bidding today...

So much chaos @_@

But seems more or less alls well that ends well...

We're fortunate to have Pumpkin who joined Uni-Y as a freshie even though he's year 2, so we get all the advice we need ^v^

HOPEFULLY we made the right decisions in our bidding prices :S

haha a summing up of the Uni-Y group:

-looking at fb photos-

"Omg we look damn happy lah"

"ya we were what!"

haha

---

Off to bondue tmr...

scared of people judging, scared it won't be as fun, because it seems like the standard. All the Uni-Y Thor's who went for Oikos and Meta said that not as fun as Uni-Y...hm.

At least there'll be Uni-Y peeps in the other groups (: At most we can just rendezvous in the middle of the night with roller chairs hurhur..

Finished packing ^^ gonna sleep~ wan an shi jie.
