Yesterday marked the official end of my first week of school in SMU. A pretty short week actually, two days to be exact :P Classes were cancelled on monday because of Hari Raya. On tuesday, i attended morning MC class with trace and CT with Aby. On weds it was Polsci with Aby and her group of soci camp frns. Thankful for friends in the same class. Anyway I really enjoy class and I'm really happy about it. What a 360 change from JC where every minute of the day I'm tryna stay awake. In uni it is different. The profs are such interesting people (I should hold my words until I meet my Stats prof next monday) and seminars give so much more opportunity for learning and speaking up in class and actually working your brain (versus turning it off and stoning away like i used to). It also really helps that I am enjoying and am oddly in a geeky way very excited and interested in what I'm learning... I am so eager and attentive in class I bet everyone in my polsci class thinks I'm a huge mugger. I am doing my readings and all the necessary things to keep up with my prof on a good steady pace and I have a reasonably organised system of note-taking and files and such. It feels good to start my first sem on a good note and with so much positivity. I hope it won't die down by the end of the second week hahaha.
Anyway there is this CCA bazaar going on in school tomorrow where all the CCA's in school go on display and you get to sign up for clinics and auditions or simply to find out more about those you're interested in. Like the singing idiot I am, I will be going to check out the Chamber Choir, Voix, SoundFoundry, Music Interactive Club (in descending order of interest) and then of course the Skate Team :B I am going with Reaiah so yay. OH yeah, I forgot to mention that I'll be auditioning for Voix (an acapella group in school) tomorrow and I heard there will be a lot of people auditioning as well... I virtually have not confirmed what I'm gonna sing (I need to prepare one upbeat song and one ballad) let alone practise it or memorize the lyrics. I hope I get it all together well tomorrow. I wouldn't say I'm dying to enter Voix because my heart is still with choral music and I cannot see myself singing "cheap nana" (NYJChoir jargon...)songs in Voix when I can be doing hair-raising goose bump-popping choral pieces in the chamber choir under the reputed Jennifer Tham :)
Also, it's been the first week of school but I haven't met/seen/hung out with 2 of my good friends Bren and Heyong yet!! I hope I'll be able to find time for and with them in between lessons.
For the past 2 days I've been going to Fendy's to do my readings and stuff, its pretty conducive and I get a ride home (Fendy is so very nice.) Germie is having her Hall D&D tomorrow and I'm so glad its all ending for her tomorrow, its taking up so much of her time and its senseless and its making her miss class and lag behind. I am like her mother true story.
There are choir auditions at 10am this saturday but I have driving lessons from 12:45pm onwards so I am hoping they can make some arrangements for me to have my audition scheduled earlier so I don't miss driving class.
OK its been long enough.... catch y'all soon again. <3 div="div" then="then" till="till">

Regrets collect like old friends
I have regrets. They come and have their way and gloat at me in all their spiteful demeanor. I don't think "what if... I" because I am me, both then and now. There is no way that I would have reacted differently. I am but human. I feel and I react... I get hurt and avoid. I am afraid and I shun.
I'm sorry for being hurtful, inconsiderate, stubborn, selfish when all you gave me was love.

Talked to an old friend a few days back and I really miss our friendship.
Came back from soci camp and got to know a group of really wild people
Had dinner with Dione at Novena Square
9 days to school
Nails in dire need of new nail polish
Purse is screaming at me to stop taking cabs and spending unnecessary money on food
Brain is screaming at me to go shopping tomorrow
Clothes piled up in the corner waiting to be sorted out
All I did tonight was try to play I'll Be There by Bruno Mars on the guitar.
Unimpressed
Jaded, indifferent in some ways, even growing cynical (oh dear)
Craving Marche's Lunch Special Beer Batter Snapper Fish. And the crayfish and scallop from the buffet at Holiday Inn.
Officially dislike pearls in BBT
Cannot wait to rollerblade or ice skate
I am fat
I am rambling
I need a shower, pronto
