Today marks the first day of school.

I woke up super early for my Gem at 8am.

Guess what?

I reached at 7am. 1 hour earlier. I can't believe it too. I had underestimated the speed of the bus after "long" holiday. In the end, I roamed around science. Well, I was quite disppointed at the crowd in my lecture though. All PRC. Not that I dislike PRCs, well, actually , I do. I mean it is just me. Maybe it just stems from all the ugly stories about the PRCs which I heard from my friends. Whatever. But I am real pissed today. The PRCs kept talking continuously today. What the heck! If they can't understand the lecturer who is a foreigner, they should have at least shut their mouths for the benefits of others who want to listen to the lecture. The only thing which I am thankful about is that the lecture is webcasted. I bidded the module thinking that it was not because it was not stated in the ivle. Praise the lord. I had been praying quite hard for it to be webcasted. Hurray!!

Next was abnormal. It is being taught by a visiting lecturer this semester. Marlene. Sounds like a wizard name to me though. She looks quite poised and calm. She teaches like Dr Nair. Strictly to the textbook and no lecture notes. But her lecture was quite interactive though. Ok. I think I am being contradicting if you know what I mean. It is real fun taking with Hoiting and Lacretia- just like cognitive last semester.

After the lecture, Hoiting and me went to co-op to buy the required texts. It was as crowded as last semester. I bought all my texts. It was super heavy. We had 5% discount because of the co-op card which Ziyi has. At first, the lady refused to let us have the discount because no sharing of cards were allowed. I guess she took pity on us and gave in to us eventually. But she reminded us not to do that again. We wanted to go for lunch at Arts but it was super saturated with people- no seats to be seen. In the end , we settled for Biz canteen. I felt like vomiting after eating the dumpling soup. I didn't want that in the first place but the vendor of the Beijing store insisted that they only sell dumpling soup today. Nothing else. We were left with no choice. Due to the opportunity cost, we decided to settle with it anyway.

My day has not ended. Orchard was my next stop. Ziyi wanted to spend her Isetan voucher so I accompanied her to shop there. She bought a white blouse eventually. We shared a lot during our coffee session. It was real fun. I haven't really got the chance to talk to her ever since holiday.

At diner time, I ventured on my journey to meet Joanne and biyun for diner. As usual , when the three of us gathered, bitching session began. It was fun, just sitting there and crapped about everything and everyone before the semester stress sets in. I hope it will be a great semester ahead for all.

I'm really too tired.... Till then , nites...
