1st week of school was pretty good...met all my lecturers except for one on Tuesday where the class got cancelled...I couldn't believe my good luck!! Second day of school and a class gets cancelled...hahaha...bought my books and notes: 2 lecture notes and 2 textbooks; total of $46.30. Thats pretty cheap compared to other books which cost like $40+ each. Monday I get Mechanical Practical in the afternoon, and Thursdays I get S&W: Street Soccer. Two most interesting days of the school week. I'm determined to thrash everyone in my class from now on. Not in a arrogant "Mr. Know-It-All" kind of way but more of a quiet thing. I don't plan on doing anything high profile while I'm at Ngee Ann. Not if I can help it anyway. There's going to be fierce competition though. Two others: Frank (ITE graduate, very fast with the practical stuff and very hardworking) and Marcus (King in the Land of the Nerds, specialises in Maths). I'm going to beat them anyway...I'm pissed off that my Semester 1 GPA of 1.96 is almost half their GPA.

I've noticed another thing NP. Don't know about other polys but a lot of the NP lectures can't speak English properly....hahahahaha...I have this Engineering Mechanics lecturer (who wrote our textbook) speaks with half-words. Almost all his words are cut short as if he has dentures and it keeps falling out. I also have this CATS lecturer (Creative Applied Thinking Skills) who is so obviously from Hong Kong. He claims he has lived in Singapore for more than 10 years. Hard to believe with that classic accent which is going to keep me amused for the rest of the semester. Just picture BHSS Mr. Choo Hong Gan but with a Hongkee accent. ROFL.

Hung out with Kiff, Xin Yi, Sam & Kar Ho yesterday. I just realised that we use "Sam & Kar Ho" exactly like "Ross & Rachel". lol. I started out with me bumming around at home when Kiff called me at 2pm. I packed and went over to his place to play games and do retarded things. Ate dinner at his place then trotted over to Toa Payoh interchange to meet Sam & Kar Ho. Hung around the staircase waiting for Xin Yi and Kar Ho to finish his night jog. While waiting me, Sam and Kiff discussed Kiff's situation and I must say it doesn't look good.

Anyway, we went over to Kar Ho's place to fool around and watch the Man U - Villa match. Actually just the guys were watching. The girls just sat in the living room and chatted. I like to imagine what happens between girls when they're alone. At night. Heheheheh. Very satisfied with the score by the way. 4 - 1.

Okay, moving on to another topic, my parents are going to get a new study table for me within a week from Ikea. No matter what happens, I will make sure they order the dark wood coloured one. I'm sick of getting furniture thats beige-wood coloured. My room doesn't have anything that is darker than brown teak. And I want this leather rolling chair from Ikea to go with my new table. Its sooooooo comfortable and it only costs $118. Knowing my parents, they would rather eat bird crap than buy me that chair, so I guess I have to save up and get it myself. Sigh. I want so many things yet I don't have the money for it. I want a temporary job. Not a part time one; I don't want work to interfere with my studies.

I'm getting Season 3 of Friends tomorrow or Tuesday. And this time I'm going to hunt for the Region 1 version from US. I regret so much getting the Region 3 version of Season 2 the last time I went to HMV because the Region 1 was out of stock. Its so lousy!! It didn't have those great extra features that the Region 1 has. So heart pained when I could have used that money to get a Region 1 version from somewhere else. If I have to hunt for the Version 1 throughout this puny country, I will.

I'm gonna watch DBZ now...I'm at Cell Saga!! I'll probably update again on Wednesday or Thursday. =)
