Part 1

Finally had the time to post.. or it's better to phrase it as finally having the mood to post. Had stuff to say the past few days but didn't have the mood to blog.. But it'll all be rattled out here.
Double Miss
It was a period of everything-falling-on-the-same-wrong-day: MATLAB Lecture, Funkamania Semifinals, O1 Campfire. Lecture ended at 6 so we (Tat, Caroline, Chye, Ejia and I) only left at 6.45.. kinda feel bad coz they waited for my lecture to end.. The numbers weren't feasible for Taxi so we bussed to Ngee Ann Civic Plaza for Funka Semis instead. Though the event started late.. we still missed Sheares Uncuffed's performance when we arrived at 7.30. *sigh* What a total disappointment.
We could have made our way to Hwachong immediately to join in O1.. but the trip to Orchard Road would only be worthwhile to all of us if we stayed on to watch a few dances. After all Tat was dying to watch the group of sleek Matrix-style guys so we decided to head on to Hwachong after that item.
Haha it tured out that their item was the 3rd last item.. so we practically stayed till the end of the Semis.. Not complaining though.. coz there were really many awesome items.. may it be formidable moves or wild expressions.. dances with 'storyline' or girls stripping.. haha.. couldn't really blame us for not leaving for O1.
And as I kept in contact with Chongwee via real-time SMS all the way.. we missed performances.. prize presentation.. song session.. dance session.........
By the time we (Tat, Quek, Siau and I) cabbed down to Hwachong.. they kids were doing their repeat of Beechwood. Tat and I plunged into the crowd immediately.. not wanting to waste any moment of the O1 experience.
They didn't repeat Wild Wild West though.. so Beechwood was the last dance.
Sianz.
Which meant we missed rushed down to Hwachong just to miss O1.
So we just stood around while the 32nd cleared the rowdy J1s.. who were (as usual) snaking through the Central Plaza..
At least we danced Speedy.. albeit using lousy speakers can't even hear the music.
Slacked around while the 31st.. 32nd danced their council dances.. and batch by batch the senior councils left.. 29th.. 30th... (28th didn't come though haha.. seems like we beat them in attendance again.. even with only 8 of us haha)
Jeff, Chye and Rachel joined us in KAP.. which was a short gathering. Actually strictly speaking it wasn't much of a gathering coz 1 table was the ECACO gang while the other was the MAFBrothers gang.
All in all.. as I was telling Tat.. we went for the wrong half for all the events.. the wrong half of Funka.. and the wrong last bit of O1... Singing and dancing was always the best part of O1 but well...
Looking forward to CNY.
Fulfilling
I must say it was a fulfilling day today though.. thanks to the CN3124 lecture being ridiculously cut short from 3 hours to 30mins haha.. leaving me 6 freaking hours to the next lecture to print my whole semesters notes, send emails regarding my referal letters and study plan for SEP, settle the DnD script, distribute remaining block T-shirts, take ERC photos with Duan, sell textbooks. Whoa never did so many things at 1 shot before. Haha maybe I did.. but it felt damn good striking off so many things off the todo list.
ShearesMuggersUnited
What started of as a rather insane suggestion to do tutorials together every night had a rather good start actually haha. Introducing the SHEARESMUGGERS - Chem Engineers of Sheares Hall! We will do tutorials together from 11pm to 1am every night in the Sheares Library together. 1 night 1 subject so by the end of 1 week we would have finished next week's tutorials. Well, for 1 thing we've done CN2116 tutorial 1 already! What an accomplishment.. finishing 1 tutorial on the 2nd week of school!
It's really taxing but I guess it's necessary to pull MY freaking CAP up. Already during lectures now I'm sitting in front with the Sheares Gang (forsaking my eyecandying aka distraction).. which led to a rather funny conversation with Diana..
Diana: hehe...no prob... coping well w chem eng?
Me: ha i'm striving to be a mugger this sem!
Me: figured out if i go for SEP i don't have many sems to pulll up cap..which is LOW
Diana: hahhaa seriously? ur yr2 now hor?
Me: yah.. yr 2 sem 2 already
Diana: anyway how low is low? it's currently at least 2nd lower class? or 3rd class?
Me: 3rd class.. haha every sem drop 1 class
Diana: hmm actually can pull up lar!
Diana: i managed to pull up my cap by abt 0.4 leh
Diana: so hor, u dun be discouraged! u can if u work hard... (but muz work very hard lar hahaha) Me: yah I noe must work bvery hard haha
Me: sitting in front of LT for lectures now
Diana: wah* dat's REALLY hard...
