I had gorcery shopping with my blk comm membersat sheng siong in clementi near west coast. Pretty nice experience there, quite fun. =) We were abt to leave the place when a sudden & REALLY heavy rain pour on us (nt literally, we were still sheltered luckily) So we had no choice but to take de cab back to hall.

Yesterday, i had my 1st ever blk supper!!! We started preparing at 6 when supper was supposed to started at 10. Yea, we were already assigned different food to prepare. Okay, here's our supper menu: Pizza toast; Spagetti wif carbonara sauce; potato salad; fried stuffs include famosa, nuggets & fries; cocktail; brownie wif chocolate ice cream; watermelon & lastly mango punch. =) Sounds yummy rite? lolx yea, it is. except i didn't try de fried stuffs =(
I prepared toast and the spagetti with a senior & a fellow mate. All of us hu prepared the food r blk comm members. The guys did all the cutting of the food stuffs tt include cucumbers, hotdogs, mushrooms etc. so horrible...... as in the cuttting, but it's still food & still edible. so nvm.... nt to mention that nuggets are peeling.... haha i heard tt nobody like dare to take them... poor nuggets... haha
I'm proud tt our supper was successful! lolx rather fun experience oso if u ask me. Praises for the food, HURREY!!!
I learnt how to play mahjong yest too. haha nw we cn play, just nice 4 of us, hee. i took a crash course called MJ1101: Fundementals of Mahjong, tt's wat my fren named it when he was abt to teach us (or during) haha. Next, he advanced me & my fren to MJ1201: Basics to Mahjong. I got a India blk mate hu was oso learning wif us. When he ask our 'mentor' to repeat again, our dear 'mentor' ask him to take chinese lessons...... cos mahjong is mostly in chinese.... nt really funny nw, but it was hilarious then. lolx
I manged to win twice, yeappy!

Todae, my lesson starts at 12 todae, but i had to go to sch early at 10 to get my safety googles for lab as they went out of stock lask wk.... but it was worth it as it onli cost 11 bucks when it is sold at a much higher px than our sch co-op.

School starts

Wat a boring day..... dun have letures today....

I started school at 8am in the morning and i had lectures for 6hrs straight for 3 modules. I started the day with statistics for life sciences. At first, i tot it wld be v boring but the lecturer's antics was amusing..... though a dry module, but at least the prof. was amusing.... tt kept me awake for awhile.

Yesterday i started sch at 12!!!!!! lolx. Met Ng for lunch, amazingly they (ng & jaz) ended their lect l hr be4 de predicted timing...... so lucky, like nv attend de class like tt..... Went for lect wif Ng..... okay module, will be learning abt herbs and touch on med. mtds and tcm. cool, but i tink dere will surely b memory work tt i hate....

No lects todae. When i open my NUS e-mail acct just nw, i almost got a shock, quite a no. of e-mails unread..... but most of them r nt of any use to me..... lolx. Will b meeting Jaz later at 2 for lunch and we'll b yan juing (dunno wat eng word to use, oops) the sci library then. Nw watching olympics bball & blogging at the same time. (usa vs duuno hu cos cn't recognise wat country) Waiting for swimming heats at 1000 for phleps. haha. so exciting to watch him swim..... i want to watch vball but it won't show until like nxt wk...... haiz. Nd to print lots of notes sia, sianz.... life w/o a printer in NUS is a dead dead meat man..... for LS pple. But duno abt the rest......

Ciao, going to enjoy the match. =)

Beijing Olympics!

Sorry guys, i tink there's smth wrong with the date & stuff. Last entry was on the 8th Aug nt 7th. Haiz.

Today is the start of the 2008 olympics, yesterday, i watched the opening with my hall mates. Mostly China pple...... so all the while they are cheering for the country. Waite pretty long for britian, usa, spain, switzerland and singapore and not to mention china, where everyone 's looking at the no. of sportsmen they sent out. Pretty impressive huh.

Well, yesterday was NUS annual Rag day. We started the day with a excercise, walking from my KE hall via a stretch of road towards Lt32 the down stairs to SRC.

There were onli a few of us and so we have to 'chop' place for the rest coming....

We waited for some time before the thing actually start and i painted my hand! lolx lucky nv paint my face, cos most of us got sunburn, haha.

After my hall had presented theirs, i went off to meet my darling frens!!! at Bugis. Poon and Justine broke camp at 1530..... Hearing them talk abt their oirentation makes the 4 of us v innocant.... Cos they sae in their 'To Brg list' they are to brg alcohol if they want..... which is nt allowed in our school or hall compound..... Well, from their experiences they dun really like the culture, which is clubbing culture, which i feel is great for them (as in, i support them opposing dis kind of thing, yeah).

Went back to my hall cos i forgot to brg my hp charger..... actually i was still indecisive abt going home or staying in hall.... well, i'm in hall, gona go have my breakfast! Bye!

Annual Rag + Flag

Today's NUS's annual Rag day. This year we are gonna have it at NUS SRC. Well, Rag day ia a day where NUS various groups show their hardwork and creativity. We had our Flag day on Tues...... very tiring...... it lasted the whole day....... longer than any flag days i ever joined. We all woke up at 0415, set off at 0515 to our respective stations. Guess wat? I got allocated Pasir Ris!!!! My hometown, wat a coincidence, totally! Lolx

We all got 3 cans each, but i onli brought 2 with me..... managed to fill the first up to abt 3/4 full, the second one barely half-filled. But nevertheless, it's a good sign for me.... hope i dun have to do this next yr... heehee.

Before that, on Mon, we had a Freshmen inaugation ceremony. A little boring lah, nothing much, just to signify that we all are now officially part of the NUS familiy. =)

That's us outside the hall. Pretty nice place. We got a laptop bag, a foolscap pad and some other stuffs. Plus, we got a guide of wat good food to find and eat in NUS!!!! Great!!!!

Till later, when i update abt Rag. Aidos!

ONCE a keviian, ALWAYS a keviian!

Well, this is my first time blogging.....

I just came back yesterday from my hall oritentation week!!! Have a great time =). I made lots of frens but mostly are of other nationalities. Most of them are from China, M'sia, some from India, ASEAN countries, some came for 2 sem of exchange programme. Pretty cool to noe these pple. Actually, i think hall life will be fun but tiring too. U gota join activities & stuffs to get points to continue staying on. Most pple stayed for 2 sems or even onli 1.... I hope i can stay on.

This is my room.....

And this is wat's opposite my hall, PGP....

Looks like condos ard Ng's area..... lolx

Day4: We went out of campus for a food hunt. we tried claypot laksa at Alexandra, duck rice at harbour front(not v nice), 5 spice at Maxwell, desert at Old market and lastly smelly beancurd and soybean curd at geylang. At nite, we were slpit from our individual OG to our respective blocks. I'm from AB!!!! Ke is divided in to East wing (blks AB and CD) & West wing (E, F and GH).

Day5: We had to bid for our modules in the morning with the help of our deary seniors coz. My frens & i had a really hard time trying to fix our timetable, horrible experience. After tt we went to sentosa in the afternoon. A rather fast journey, to those who dunno, NUS is fairly near Vivo city. =D

We played a twisted version of captain's ball. First started with a vball, then after 3 1/2 mins, a cardboard dice is rolled to determine wat are we throwing... we threw a IKEA snake, a plush tiger and toilet paper with a core..... wierd but fun.... & since my block and another blk lack pple, we combine to form ABE!!! lolx Guess wat, we won!!!

We went to eat Ben & Jerry's at Vivo, grocery shopping (such a funny experience) then went back to hall.

Day6: We had a mini IBG (inter blk game) after breakfast. So fun!!!! We played v wierd combination of games too. First Capnet (captain's in netball style) v tiring..... next we played Handsoc (handball + soccer) when the siren goes, we have to change....v funny but fun too. lolx

This marks the end of my hall orientation & i really had lots of fun & joy & not to mention sweat. U hav to experience it to noe the fun. Too bad guys.
