Table Tennis or Floorball

Yay an update because I have nothing better to do!

Yesterday I caught Ironman 3 with my classmates. The movie was awesome. :B Still prefer cartoons though. Hahaha. What a kid.

Anyway, life has been boring. So boring that I'm taking regular naps now. HAHAHA because sleeping is the only thing I can do. I could read or write but I'm lazy. :P Lazy to read, don't know what to write. Hahaha!

I had table tennis trials today! It was cool. I honestly don't know why I signed up for it since I've never played it before. The only time I played it was with my mom and it was such a fail. But today's trials went better than I expected. I would love to stay in table tennis but I've signed up for floorball as well and I'd like to see how it goes over there first. :)

It's not that I'm not committed or anything, it's just that I don't want to commit myself to something so new yet. Floorball is also a new sport to me and well, I wanna try that out before making a judgement on which I'll choose, y'know?

I'm still sad how there isn't any basketball. :/ Oh well. Then I just hope Bryanne calls me out soon or something. Then again, she has A's so.... :( Damn it, why is everyone busy?!

CCA Fair

Hey! So I haven't blogged in awhile... :/ The days passed really quickly and it's already Wednesday. I guess because I'm enjoying myself in school.

I officially hate Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays classes always seem to crawl and Thursdays just suck because there's Gen Ed. Gr...

I'm tired. I've been working on the Cinderella story thing and... Well, we're done. Just have to work on the presentation now. Yay! Urgh, presentations... I just can't talk to crowds... :P

Today has been the day I've been anticipating for so long. I signed myself up for Table Tennis and Floorball. Hahaha! I searched high and low for the Basketball booth but... I couldn't find it. :( Life's sad. I was actually looking forward to shoot again. :/ Shall try to find it again tomorrow or something even though I know very well it's not going to magically appear. HAHAHA.

Anyway, Floorball is twice a week and Table Tennis is once a week. Yay! So I'll just wait for the try outs before I choose which to go with. Although I think I might be better at Floorball than Table Tennis. HAHAHA.

The fair was really crowded and I was perspiring like no tomorrow. D: After which, some of my classmates and I went to the Hilltop Haven to watch The Croods. Okay fine, only some of us did. The rest did their own stuff, I guess. The air conditioning is soooooo good. Hahahah!

I've yet to do my blog entry homework and so I guess I'll have to do that now since it's due today.... :P Okay, I blame myself for putting it off for so long. Oh well. It's really difficult to write okay.... D:

Heroes, Myths and Legends

Today would probably be the best day of the week apart from the morning lecture. D: After we were released from lecture, it was raining. *groans* The rain and I can never go together.

Anyway, I had lunch with my classmates and there was this guy who sat in front of me (not from my course) who ate really fast... :O He chugged down his bottle of water as well and left the table while still chewing... Omg...

Best lesson to end of the week: Heroes, Myths and Legends.

We watched this lame cartoon. I can see the heroic elements but the voice acting is horrible. Putting aside the animation since it was a cartoon from the 1980s but the idea was kinda lame too. :/

After class, I went off with my groupmates to plan our Cinderella story and we finally went with Wesley's idea. Can't wait for next week! Hmm. I have this homework to do about the most powerful world to me and... I really don't know. Shall go brainstorm now.

GE sucks

I decided I'm just going to talk about my lessons for the week so I wouldn't bore you with the same shit every day. Mwahahaha! Okay, blogging is beginning to become addictive. I have some good news but I'll say it later.

Today's first tutorial was called Writing Across Media Platforms. I was initially nervous for this class because we heard a lot about the teacher and well, scared lah. But it wasn't as bad as it seems. The lesson turned out way more fun than I thought. A lot of games and who hates lessons that has games (so long as the games are not boring)?

I learnt quite a bit too. Things like traditional media, new media and mainstream media, evaluating information from the web, and what is misinformation and disinformation. Okay, I'm boring everyone with the terms. But just thought you (Phoebe) should know if you wanted to join my course. Hahaha!

Lunch was horrible. Everywhere was so packed! I was dying of hunger but the crowd was just killing my appetite. We settled for Macs and rushed our meal before running off for our General Education (GE) lecture.

Omg, I've a bad feeling about GE... First of all, the teacher is kinda boring and second of all, GE sounds difficult. We have to present every week and well, I'm not good at presenting. I guess I'll get used to it later on but for now, let's just say I hate facing crowds. I rather just type out the essay and hand it in without having to show my face, you know? Hahahaha! But I know that's out of the question in the working world.

What is GE about? Well it's something about logical and creative thinking? There are four modules and we're currently on media. Erm... At the end of every lesson, we have to present out argument to a certain topic. Omg... And this GE is compulsory for everyone regardless of your course. Sigh.

Anyway, remember I said I had some good news? Well it's only one. I find myself laughing at stupid things again! :D I do not believe in the saying that the people who laugh the most are the saddest. That is dumb because as far as I know, I am not a sad person. Well, not anymore. Yay! I'm me again. Or at least that's what I think is me. ._.

TV

I feel like a retard blogging almost every single day about class... But I'm gonna do it anyway!

Classes start at 8am today so I had to wake up really early. But guess what? It was raining! My mom then offered to give me a ride to the MRT station. :) Since it was raining heavily, everywhere I turned there was a traffic jam. You might think even the trains might be faster but no... It kept slowing down and stopping.

I met up with Colin and Nadhirah, and we waited for the rest to arrive. Hasinah and Hema came later and we rushed off to class. Hahahaha! So we had to go down this escalator, right? Naturally when you're late for class you would walk down the escalator as it moves? Hema and I did that. We turned around and guess where were the other three? Standing at the side of the escalator as it descends. HAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway, we have this grace period of 15 minutes so if you enter the class later than 8.15am, you'll be marked absent. I hate running late for class especially when you have to climb this hill every single morning. We were still walking down the corridor (our classroom was at the end) before I looked at the clock and it was already 8.14am. Only then did we run. Hahahaha! It was so funny. To me, at least.

Class today was Deconstructing Television. I learnt a couple of things about TV. How entertainment had evolve from newspapers to radios to television. I also saw a clip of how they invented the TV. It was kinda cool. We were then divided into teams to research about the TV in different times and then presenting it to the class.

Yay! Class ended at 11am! Went to collect my new ez-link card before joining my other classmates for lunch.

When I got home, it was about 1.30pm. Okay, being the retard I am, I was wondering why is it still so early and then I remembered we ended class at 11am. .____. HAHAHAHA.

I've got a piece of homework today and you'll never guess what it is. The teacher (I know poly don't call them teachers but I'm gonna call them that cos it's easier) told us to watch TV. Hahahaha!

Tomorrow would be my first lecture. I shall see how that goes! Now off to play some music. :P

First Lesson, First Assignment

First and only lesson of today: Creative Story Making which lasted for four hours. From 10am to 2pm.

Well first lessons are always draggy. You know where we set the ground rules and things like that. We did play this story telling game. Hahaha! After which we had a 20 minute break! The second half of the lesson was about the history of story telling and fairy tales. It was kind of interesting.

The four hours flew by in a flash! Guess what? We got our first assignment! It's our CA1 that's due in week 4. D: We're to create another Cinderella story in our groups. Oh man. So far, what my groupmates and I have planned didn't go too well.

Yay for no homework, yet. I had lunch with my classmates before heading off with Bernice to the Hilltop library to chat. Mwahahaha! Okay enough about my day. It's probably boring everyone to sleep. I look forward to tomorrow! Visual Communication, here I come! I think we're going to use Adobe Photoshop. :D I hope it'll be fun. I hope every lesson would be fun.

All lies

As a worshipper of truth (lol), I hate it when people try to comfort me with lies. I never comfort myself with lies. Ever.

I hate it when somebody says "Don't take the judge's word to heart. You're still awesome," or "You're still amazing no matter what they say." The judges are a judge for a reason. You should care what they think because those are the people who determine how good you are in that particular area.

I had a talk in school a few days ago and a particular sentence made me cringe. "I am not defined by a number." Well, it's true. But do you realize something? It's only people who didn't achieve what they had set for themselves or people who didn't do well that say that. Do you see a scholar saying that he/she is not defined by a number? I haven't seen one like that. All lies. It's just something you would say to comfort yourself.

That is one of the many things I hate about human beings. When you do well, you feel that you're smart and talented enough. However, when you do badly or not up to expectations, you say to yourself that it's just a grade or number and it does not define how talented or smart you are. Dumb, right?

I also don't like it when people fail and say that all their hard work went down the drain and that it was all for nothing. No, it was not for nothing. It was just not enough. There is more to success than just hard work.

In this world, just being able to work hard doesn't cut it. If it was a dance, maybe the choreography wasn't impressive. If it was a piece of writing, maybe your ideas just weren't as creative as the others. If it was your studies, maybe it was your way of studying. Not everyone can mug. If it was a sport, maybe your training was just too bloody slack. I know of one that is like that. -.-

I know you gave it your best so there's really nothing you can do about it. I hate to say this but,

"Try harder next time."

Just put in more effort the next time round. The competition is really tough these days. While you're working hard, everyone else is working twice as hard. So what if you're a hard worker? Anyone can work hard. It's just whether they want to or not.

It's really scary, you know. If you want to find a job, yeah sure, get a degree. But the thing is, today, almost everyone has a degree so you have to ask yourself, "What makes you any different from the rest? What do you have to offer? Why should they employ you?"

Omg, I'm going way off topic but yeah. You get my drift. It sucks, right? Living in a planet called Earth. The truth is, no one here is ever good enough and that is scary. As all of us try to be "good enough", we never stop working.

Sometimes I feel like, we're born into this world just to work like dogs and we never truly get to enjoy life. Come on, we spend 1/3 of our lives studying and the other 2/3 of it working. Just working and studying until the day we die. Sad, isn't it?

Hence, I think it's important to choose your future job wisely... You're gonna be stuck with it for a long, long time. You might think I'll get to enjoy life after retirement, but you're old. Some of you might not even be able to walk anymore. How is that enjoying life? Some old people aren't even allowed to travel. And what is life if you can't go abroad?
