The promoters outside of Causeway Point are persistent and scary. Was on my way out of the MRT station to the mall (red route) to exchange defected merchandise when this promoter wearing red suddenly tried to catch my attention. How he did that? He used the pen he was holding to 'tap' (wack) on my shoulder. Shocked by the pain on my shoulder, I turned slightly to look who it was but continued to exit the premise quickly before he could say anything (escape attempt number 1 = successful)... My mom said I should have turned around and knocks some sense into the promoter.

I thought I was safe from promoters when I tried to another route to the MRT station (blue route). And I was so wrong. This time a promoter in white suddenly appear beside me and started asking in mandarin if I was a student. I guess the sudden shock I got (second time again) made him think I shook my head slightly. I thought he would just forget about it and moved away. But I was wrong again. He proceed to ask how come if I wasn't a student then why I wasn't responding to him (duh... who would?). I just continued walking straight the station. Once again, escape attempt number 2 = successful. I should have plugged in to my mp3, perhaps that would have put them off (-.-'').

YL: Now I fully understand what you have tried to tell me last Friday. Felt like I was playing a dodging game with the promoters.

My timetable is yucky... First, I have no free day at all when tutorial starts. Second, I have one lecture each on Monday and Friday which starts from 12noon and 2pm respectively (why can't it be earlier so at least I won't feel like dragging myself to school just for that lecture). Third, my exam timetable ends so late (yeah... this time it's even later than YL's - I always have exams that end earlier than hers).

The modules for this semester aren't that fabulous either. Especially for the level 3000 geog module. After the 2nd lecture, I still couldn't quite figure out what the lecturer was saying. His accent is just oh-so-(-.-''). It's even worst when he gets excited and starts to speak fast. Although it's supposedly a geog module, almost 65% of the content is about economics - Absolute advantage, comparative advantage, barter economy, convergence/ divergence, opportunity cost etc… His explanations doesn't really help me in understanding what those terms were because most of the time I was trying to take in what he had just said decipher them word by word (T.T) Aiyayaa...

10-member project group for my breadth module. Such an extreme big group for a project. Hope that it isn't grouped according to alphabetical order although it does make things easier for the lecturers and definitely not for us. Imagine: if 60% or more of the group members are from Science, the chances of traveling to Science for group meeting may be higher. Moreover, the timings of the meetings will be another problem.

Just the 2nd week of semester 1 and I already felt drained out of energy. I still haven't had enough of my holidays yet...

Grandma got admitted to hospital after slipping the second time and hitting the back of her head on the floor. Heard from my mom that she got a mild stroke and tests are still ongoing to check which side it occurred to. Praying that she'll get well and healthy soon and that treatment is going smoothly.
