Had my first day of lectures yesterday. Spent half the day walking around getting lost. Think it's only gonna get worse once tutorials and lab lessons start. Sigh... I wish I had a better sense of direction. I made new friends in my course. The 3 of them are like the only other locals i think. The others are from China, India, Indonesia... Had 4 lectures yesterday. They were pretty boring... Except for maybe Effective Communications and Econs. Econs sounds fun... But I hardly understand anything... Haha. I don't hafta go to school these 2 days. Lessons are cancelled coz of flag day and heritage walk. Neither of which I'm taking part in.
Shh, it's..here..

School's starting soon... Oh no... My slacking days are over. Just got my timetable today. It's pretty alright. 2 really long days (Tuesday and Friday), 2 really short days (Wednesday and Thursday) and Monday's pretty alright. Not too long, not too short. But even though it looks as if I have lotsa free time, I bet most of it will be spent on assignments, projects, studying, hall activities, ECA... So... Not that free after all eh.
Went out with my OG on Tuesday. Spent 4 hours KTV-ing. So fun! Except towards the end coz they started singing Chinese song after Chinese song. All those cheesy songs... Eww... We went to play pool after that. I sucked, naturally. The last time I played was 2 years ago when Max and Ah Kong taught me. And that was also my first time playing... Haha. It was a rather enjoyable day. But somehow, I don't feel as comfortable with them as compared to with the HALMM fellas. Not surprising at all actually. Since I just got to know them not too long ago. We don't really know each other that well yet. Not like the BIG HALMM HAPPY FAMILY!!! I really feel blessed to be in HALMM. It's the only place that I really feel a sense of belonging. The people there genuniely make me feel special for who I am. Such people are really hard to come by these days.
Anyway, talking bout HALMM... I went for the Vatican Exhibition with Lucas, Marianne, Desmond, Cynthia and Christine yesterday. It was really nice! Many beautiful artworks and artifacts. But it was full of IJ gals... So didn't really get to take a good look at everything. We had dinner at Subway after that. For some weird reason, everyone except me had an Italian BMT. After that was more eating! We went to this chocolate place at Esplanade... Forgot the name. Had a really thick hot chocolate. I think Mel will like the place... Haha. Oh, Lucas dared Christine to go up to a stranger and strike a conversation, pretending that they've met somewhere before. But she managed to escape! Coz Lucas had to go to SSDC for driving before she managed to do it.
SSDC. Haha. Went for 2 driving lessons today. I'm finally on to stage 3!!! I'm completing the syllabus soon. Yay! I won't hafta rush down to lessons from school that often. I should be able to get my license by this year... I hope! Driving lessons are starting to get fun. It ain't that scary anymore. Heh.
Gotta go to school for orientation tomorrow. Meeting Vikrem at 8.20 at Boon Lay. which means I've gotta wake up really early tomorrow morning. Dreadfully early. Sigh.

Another overdue update. Haha. Xuwen and I checked in to our room on Friday. The hall is old but the room is big. And the room was filthy!!! We weren't prepared to do any cleaning that day but after seeing the state of our room we decided we had to start. We wiped the furniture and gave the floor a superficial mop before we got too tired to do anything else.
Had a long day on Saturday. Woke up early to go to East Coast for the Straits Times 160th anniversary. Thought I might have the chance to win a car... But after seeing the crowd... I knew I had no hope... Haha. The semi-finalist of The Straits Times School of Rock were performing there. I kinda pity them coz they were playing to an unappreciative audience. Everyone was only interested in winning the car. Anyway, there was a huge jam there. I was stuck there in Daddy's car for so long I thought I was gonna be late for work. Felt so bad coz it's not nice to have the students waiting for the teacher. Haha. But good thing I made it on time. Whew.
Went to my room with Mummy and Daddy today. Brought stuff like my pillow and all. I continued cleaning the room too. With my parents' help of course. Hee hee. We scrubbed and mopped the floor, cleaned the windows, etc. Now at least the room looks decent. Went for ISP commissioning after that. 8 con3 kiddies were posted to HALMM, 6 of them being guys. WOW!!! Looks like my talking to Greg really did help. I told him that our choir needed more people and the number of guys are pathetic. And now... Out of all the choirs we've got the most people attached for ISP and most are guys! Hurray for Ashley!!! Hahaha.

Ok thought I'd better update soon. I came back from camp on Friday. It was fun! I lost my voice and couldn't speak for one whole day but I still managed to enjoy myself. I'd like to talk more bout the camp but I don't even know where to start! Well, like any other camp there were lotsa games. And this time I really participated wholeheartedly. Made many new friends as well. Hope we'll be able to keep in touch. Kinda hard though... Since we're all in different faculties...
Geri and I were at Louisa's house. Went there to choose hymns and discuss some choir stuff.It was raining cats and dogd while Geri and I were walking there. It was so fun walking in the rain! We were splashing water all over as we walked through the flooded streets. We saw a frog! It was so tiny and cute! Haha... By the time we reached her place, we were soaked.

Wow my blogger page is all in Chinese. How interesting. Will change it back to English later.
I met Celine yesterday! Finally! Oh this time, we didn't take neoprints... Haha. Growing out of it perhaps? Or maybe just trying to save money... We roamed around Orchard as usual. Shopped and ate. Spent tons of money on food. We went to Marche coz we felt like eating something. I had a tiramisu and she had an apple crumble. Yummy food! After walking around for a while more, we decided to have dinner at Big O, coz Sakae Sushi and NYDC were too crowded. The food there was rather good! Haha... I guess it does cost quite a lot to feed us...
I'll be off to orientation camp till Friday. I'm sure it's gonna be fun!

Good morning! Yeah it's already almost 11am and I just woke up. Hee hee. Anyway, I went to watch the SNGS performance last night. Went with Marianne, Lucas, Desmond and Cynthia. It was awesome! Especially Pinkie's dance performance and Geri's choir performance. The ELDDS one was nice too. I saw a few of my former teachers. They recognise me! Time really flies eh... It seemed like just yesterday when I was still in SNGS studying for my O levels. And now? I'm going to uni already!
Oh! I cut my hair 2 days ago. It's a lot shorter than it originally was but it isn't that short. I'm still getting used to it though coz I had it layered and cut real thin. My head feels so light now! But I like it!
