My Last Week of Freedom!

Why is school starting so soon????????? Why??????? Going to study after such a long break of 2 years 9 months. Stress will be back in my life once again. :( I really don't know how i'm going to cope knowing that i sleep in lectures most of the time and always do last-minute work. My only relief is my timetable. I do not have any lessons on friday and i have half day lessons on wednesday and thursday. Thinking of overloading coz i will have 2 more modules next semester if i don't overload.

Ok, enough about university. A recap of what i did this week.
Monday) Went ktv with Ks as there were a lot of new ktv songs by Penny and David Tao released. Headed to Bugis to accompany him to get a new bag for university.

Tuesday) Went to watch Crash with Daryl at West Mall in the afternoon and headed to Cineleisure to watch War of The Worlds with Stephen at night. Crash is a well-wrought drama on clashes between various races. The cast is great and the director deft in intertwining the different stories to make it an effective ensemble piece. War Of The Worlds by Steven Spielberg's standard is bad. Minority Report and Artificial Intelligence have much better scripts with room for character development unlike WOTW. It is merely a special effects galore with lots of running and chasing.

Wednesday) Went out with my sec sch mates for a gathering as Fuli and i are starting school next week and we won't be able to meet up frequently next time. Spent most of the time chatting at cine food court and Cafe Cartel for dinner and dessert respectively. We also played 2 hours of pool at Le Meridien Hotel.

Thursday) Went out with Stephen and Weilin for ktv at cine K-Box. We sang overtime since nobody chased us out until 2.45 pm. Went Taka to do a bit of shopping and grabbed a bite at Mos burger before leaving. I didn't want to go back home so early and took a direct bus to Dover to work for a short while. Got my jc mates out in the evening to watch The Island at Lido. The Island has a rather interesting premise and there are loads of action to complement the storyline. Although it is preposterous at times, Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson compensate the flaws with their screen presence and chemistry. It also discusses issues like cloning, ethics and morality to certain exent. The Island is an entertaining movie which most people will enjoy.

Friday) Met up with Edwin, Terence and Daryl to go for the NTU engineering orientation talks today. The morning session is really quite useless and i spent half my time sleeping in MLT. I was quite surprised with the number of international students as there were a number of China students sitting in front and behind us, and many students from Indonesia, India and China coming forward to ask questions during the Q&A session. We had free buffet lunch after the morning session ended and we went to Hall 1 after that as i had not collected my hall keys. We went to my hostel room after that and it was bigger than i expected. With air-con, fridge and tv, the room would be perfect. Headed to LT1A for my mechanical and aerospace engineering talk after that and it was more useful with information on the modules we will be studying from year 1 to 4. After the talk, Edwin asked a professor the possiblity of getting from common engineering to aerospace engineering in the 2nd year and i found out the intake of aerospace engineering had increased from 60 to 80 due to overwhelming response. Went back home after that.
