Oei Joakim! Why are u still here?!
I cringe. I cry. I curse.
alrights, I didn't curse! but it's near man. because JOAKIM GOMEZ digusted me with his painful singing in the Singapore Idol Rock Show!! AHHHHHH!!!!!! *cringe* It was so painful to my ears, I thought i needed a strong anaesthetic.
I know I am no good singer but any man on the street, any construction worker, any hawker uncle, any housewife (except naive teenage girls) would agree that Gomez cannot make it.
And he is still in! BLAH.
On the other hand, Jasmine Tye is improving tremendously and I was very impressed with her rendition of "Sweet Child of Mine". You go girl! Nurul, the bland one, is also standing out. Paul Twohill's novelty is wearing off slowly. Yawns. He can't really pull it off as a singer though I must say he has very good showmanship.
Life in campus NTU.
I've bumped into so many familiar faces... my primary, secondary and jc schmates! Don't want to say Hi cos I don't know if they remember me. hee hee.
Even though i nearly lost my way for one tutorial, i still found it in the end. I am proud of myself! I know how to read a map much much better.
My sociology professors are witty, esp. Prof Jonathan London. We even have a blog (an initiative of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society) to discuss our own opinions and learn from one another's comments. Prof London even introduced this response card in lectures where we can press to indicate our answers during quizzes. It is like being in America's Funniest Home Video! They always press this remote thingy to vote for funniest video, isn't it?
My Singapore studies' Prof Kwok is very engaging too! In our 1st lecture he mentioned of this advertisement he saw in Singapore.
Celebrate National Day, visit Malaysia!
hahaha!
Anyway, there are tons and TONS and TONS of notes to print and read!!! I have been visiting my freezing cold library a lot just to photocopy from textbooks and get notes online.
Oh, as I was squeezing to board the terribly-crowded 179 today, this very nice Senior (from HSS FOC 06) Xun Ning said hi to me! I thought it was very very generous of her to be the 1st one to extend a HI. She even remembered that I was from Ahto. heh heh. Maybe Ahto was very noisy.
I am really glad i attended orientation cos I made good friends there. They helped a lot in lectures and basically, just getting use to campus life. Just this Monday, some of our OG mates and i troop our way to Canteen A to escape from Canteen B's Inedibles. Canteen B is baaaaadd.
Prayer meeting
Last night, i attended a powerful prayer meeting and I tell you prayers work wonders. Our Lord was definitely in the midst as people cry out their hurts and embrace God's new blessings & promises. At that time of worship, I asked to know Jesus more - know more of his character so that I can claim the many beautiful promises in His Word as well as know Him as a friend. I was personally affirmed by Heavenly Father last Saturday in youth service that I am a DAUGHTER OF FAITH. :)
I am His daughter and nobody can spoil this truth.
No school on Friday
I can't wait for Friday! I think I am meeting Angie to go to the national library! YAY!
