the beginning of yet another beginning
on the other hand, while looking forward to 3 hour 15 minute lecures, and a morning one at that tomorrow, convo, or as zhi xin puts it, waiters' convention, was one last day where i could be with school friends and really really really ultimately relax haha. summer doesn't count, since you'll be dealing with erm boss haha. first the competition for the latest late comer (and zhi xin and i thought we'd won that already haha), eating lots of bread before, during and after (cheech's chicken pies), chubby bunny (or rather, ch-ahr-bie ba-ar-nie), cannot touch cannot touch cannot touch (wah lau, it's like what colour what colour what colour and fuzzy wuzzy lah), taking retarded photos (the one above is really not the most retarded already haha), laughing at driving lessons and tests at swensens, having boss briefing with the unofficial registrar alvin haha, looking for toilets that have the shortest queue possible, and then waiting extremely long at the raffles link bus stop and subsequently meeting kristen and talking at the bus stop, which made my dinner seem extremely long haha. hais, we should meet up for birthdays! monthly occasions! on tuesdays, when it's gelare half-price waffles day and it's ladies' night at minds cafe. going to miss you bunch, gadgets (: alright, my psych reading averages at 10 pages per session, and i've done 2 over the last 2 days. i nearly fell asleep over the last one. goodness gracious me, there's stats to do as well. well, there's 8.30 am tomorrow ( i get my wakeup call from laughing yishan at 8am at city hall haha) so i'm off to bed. i'm finally starting school hurhur
i guess convocation ended what it was, for me, a long ten month hiatus from study, as i would call it, rather than "rotting brain cells at home" and all other hokkien equivalents of this term. yes, convocation, to quote what the university has been saying all this while, marks the beginning of your new life in smu, which means it's essentially back to the books. i think i'm quite looking forward to doing some studying again, it's just a tad bit scary that i have to start my motor, which incidentally (or un-incidentally) is experiencing high inertia haha, again. making new friends while holding on to the old ones (i mean, most of my ftb group, you guys are in business and accounting and econs, don't even start about the ac people), battling the nonsense boss system, plowing through tons of readings (i'm already getting a taste of that), attempting to plan out the rest of my education properly, getting texts as cheap and clean as possible (thank you mud and mud's friend! haha), et cetra, et cetra, et cetra, as the king and i goes.
keep my heart upon Your altar.
Give me strength to cross this water,
keep my feet don't let me falter.
