Signs of Exhaustion
I'm dozing in almost every lesson that i attend. I have 8 assignments due next week..n i have 4 mid terms. Stayed in sch till 11plus for the first time this term...cos i was rushing assignments.
Things seem to go wrong these days. Was to set up the SMRT booth that day early but the SMRT Lorry met with an accident. Wanted to hand up CAT early but printer cartridge broke down. While waiting for an impt call, my phone went low batt. Stressed n went to hug my guitar...n then the 4th string broke. Went to Ice Cold to nego. some things and met with a pmsin manager instead. Wanted to take a decent nap but is woken by 7 missed calls cos my frens were fightin. Have a few TA's this term that is non-existent and irresponsible. Wanna go for supper n a spin but no one is awake.
But Admist all this 'bad luck'...
i conclude..
it is pure superstition.
Haha. Cos i believe in the Law of Attraction. Think of bad things...and bad things will all happen.
So...the more life pushes me down..the more i press on!
Back to work..at 1 am...
Life the past 4 weeks..
Alrite...I have enough prompts to update my blog alreadi..so sorry..its been a packed mth. (this will take u a while..lol)
Well..school started..
and this is how sch has been..
My schedule was supposed to be a 3 day week. SUPPOSED.
Mon: No Class
Tue: 8.30 - 11.45 (CAT)
12.00 - 3.15 (MA)
Wed: 8.30 - 11.45 (MS)
Thu: 8.30 - 11.45 (Finance)
Fri: No Class
But it turns out that although I avoid school at all cost...i'm very much there every single day. except sat & sun cos i absolutely refuse to step back in there. At least..in the first 4 weeks..it shouldnt be happening. It's been happening too often in year one! this has to stop!!
I've assumed the role of Teaching Assistant (TA) for Financial Accounting (ACCT 101) courtesy of prof Wang Ji Wei's recommendation. I didn't apply for the job and Prof Ji Wei was kind enough to remember me despite teaching me over a yr ago. He recommended me to a new accounting prof..Juan Wang. At first, I really wondered if they were related. Cos, they seem to share alot of emails, share the same surname..and also Prof Ji Wei helped her locate TAs.
For non-smu readers...TA is like..what it sounds..assistant in teaching. So i'm sorta helping out the prof in teaching. Maintaining consultation hours and students can come approach me for help (which they do every week)..they can mail me..and there's even an office for me to use.
Now you know where to find me on thursdays.
Sparking clean!
I missed holding her...
Isn't she beautiful???
But life the past 4 weeks wasn't all mug and no play. Afterall, i decided not to be a mugger. I mean...that was very much my life in poly. And maybe that's y i'm here now. But realli..life is so much more than just plain mugging. In any case, mugging doesnt mean u'll get rich. Lack of it doesn't mean you wouldn't either. Mugging doesn't necessarily help u along the course to be rich too. it depends the path u design. so..screw it. I shall start to enjoy my campus life more! It's my last chance anyway.
Look what kiki wore to sch e other day!!!
No wonder everyone pays attention to SMU's dressing!
here r the funner things that i did too!
Chilling @ Arab St
As my previous post has said...my buddy..henry is back from aust for internship. He's doing his internship for his Masters. Sigh. The benefits of not needing to serve NS. Met up with him n chrystal at Serangoon Gardens area. Its so near my place. Can even walk there. haha.
But i still drove there cos i had to pick up something else b4 meeting them up. When i got there..there was absolutely no parking lots! worse than normal times. And after circling around a few times, I went to the 'second storey' carpark right above NTUC. It was the oldest carpark I've ever driven into!
When i went to collect my guitar at Peninsula shopping center, i thot it was bad that i had to wind down the windows to insert the cashcard. This was even worse. After i parked, the attendant wrote me a coupon! How ancient! And b4 I left the carpark...the carpark attendant told me that the carpark closes at 12mn! N i was...wa...wat kind of carpark closes these days.
Carpark i'll nv forget. Lol. N not to forget that it was so narrow...they had to help me direct traffic away so that I could reverse out of a corner. All the more..unforgetable.
When i finally met them up...i reckon that we head down to Ice3 (pronounced as ice-cube) for some desserts since they have already had dinner. I haven..but it was ok..i'm a small eater these days. I love the ice cream there cos we can have it with liquor and when you select the right mix, it can be realli yummy!
Another great fact was that you could customize your own ice cream and even name it yourself. Which is how Infinix Sundae came about. hee. For those who receive my mail regularly, you would hav noticed 'Infinix Business Solutions' in my sign offs. That's clarence's and my company.
Infinix Sundae!

He's damn funny!
My ratings on Arab st as a chill out place..NAH! It was hot..and we had terrible beverages. Unless u like sesha n stuff..which i do not..den dun consider it. Ur local kopitiam will be even better!

Where i 'work'
Now you know where to find me on thursdays.
Yes yes...i do get paid. But it is very much peanut wages. And Berdine (a yr 1 from one of the classes i am TA for) couldn't highlight that fact enough. Tsk tsk. Evil people. If she does become TA one day, i shall encourage her students to work her hard too! haha.
Despite the fact that i'm taking 2 classes (a fact that clarence n co. cannot stop complaining abt)..i did not request for it. The prof jus asked if i'm ok with taking 2 classes and i replied "sure!". I didn't accept the TA job nor 2 classes because of the pay. Not sure y ppl found it so hard to believe. haha. But it was sort of a mini milestone i wanted to achieve since entering SMU. Cos by SMU standards, I am CLEARLY not one of the brightest around and I wanted to be TA...at least once...so that I know i am at least gd at one module.
One.
Haha. It proves that i sucked in everything else. Hai. Period.
I also got back my guitar last mth!! I sent my baby for servicing as some the input jack got loose and had fallen into the sound box which I wasn't able to reach for. Since it was at the workshop, I also sent it for cleaning and the fret boxes returned spic and span! Haha. Which was y i couldnt stop playing it when i first got it bac.

After the ice cream and some chats, henry suggested heading down to Arab St since he's nv realli been there. To be honest, i've been there..but nv realli chilled there b4. So i didn't mind and we headed down to Arab St.
At Arab St.
Cool pose bro!
mm...not so cool...
the adulterous pair.
He's damn funny!
He finally made it..
It was also there that we ordered realli lousy coffee and other drinks and also the Sesha that took forever to come. Ok...i admit...i did have a puff or 2...but i didn't enjoy it. Felt realli heavy pressure on the lungs. Afterall, i'm not a smoker. I mean..look at me...i'm so innocent...which part of me looks like a smoker??My ratings on Arab st as a chill out place..NAH! It was hot..and we had terrible beverages. Unless u like sesha n stuff..which i do not..den dun consider it. Ur local kopitiam will be even better!

The tickets were packed in an envelop shaped like an old record. Suiting the movie theme. The movie was at Vivo City on a thursday evening. First screening of Hairspray i tink. N i had to rush down after my TA session. N i realli meant rush. I remember i ended my TA session at 6.45pm dat day (supposed to end at 6). But i couldn't say no to ppl in Acct101 G5 & G6 (classes that i take). Hey! I'm not complaining! They're nice ppl.
When we got to Vivocity..the movie was alreadi starting (showtime was 7pm). Once we reached the cinema, there was a big Lexus Reception counter where the staff greeted us. They den showed us to our seat with complimentary Pop corn and drinks already made available there. So cool! N we had back seats! awesome.

The whole cinema was booked by Lexus and it was filled with lexus drivers.
Hairspray was pretty gd...could see that everyone enjoyed it. Well...although i'm not exactly a big fan of musicals...it was not bad...though i still hav no idea y John Travolta decided to play female...eek. lol.
Freshman Bash '07
i know i've been sayin i'm not much of a clubber anymore. It's true! Well...but it's a Bizcom event and one of the biggest annual event too. I was part of the marketing team who did such a great job in achieving the first ever sell-out bash. Credit goes all to them all. Events did an even better job this yr...which resulted in a much more 'happening' bash than we had last yr. Awesome ppl we have in bizcom!

I couldnt join the guys earlier (supposed to reach MoS by 1pm) as it was a thursday..n yes..you would have guessed. TA commitments. Somehow...a lot of things happen on thursdays..tsk tsk.
It was abt 6.40pm when i finally got there. Rehearsals were going on...n i bet u've nv been at a club at 6.40pm b4. haha. And u've nv seen MoS so empty too...

The bash was over in a flash! (lots of goodies were given away..e.g. Dr. Martin Shoes). I din manage to catch the full event as i was involved with duties outside the club. In fact, the bouncer wanted to fight me!
My job was to do some checks regarding the tickets (b4 they entered) and also to resolve any misunderstanding and disputes at the club front. Thus..i was standing rite next to the bouncers. Thats when bouncer by bouncer...they started to question me as to why i was there. This particular bouncer was particularly irritating.
Bouncer (angrily): "Excuse me...why are u here??? you cannot be here!!!"
Me (explains nicely): "Oh i need to be here to do some checks on the tickets."
Bouncer (angrily):"Here???"
Me: "Yes here...if not they would have gotten in rite?"
Bouncer (even angrier, shouting): "You cannot be here! You're blocking!!"
Me (Finally losing patience):"Dude!! i'm standing right next to you!! If i'm blocking..YOU'RE BLOCKING!"
Bouncer (Cockily, tryin to stamp authority): "Ya..But i work here!"
Me (now pissed): "Ya! N this is our event!! We booked the place! N now You will follow our events plan!"
Bouncer: *Silence*
hai...wats e deal man...y r bouncers always so angry...lol.
After the bash ended..we had a few tables reserved for Bizcom ppl on e second floor. (can't rem. the name of the room..told u i'm not much of a clubber these days).
Part of the perks of being in Bizcom and organizing events such as this is that we get tonns of free drinks!!! We had a few table FULL of glasses n jugs! And i swear...i got so so so sick of the smell of alcohol by the end of the day. Esp when i was on an empty stomach.

There u go...it nv pays...to be the first aggressor..lol.
I left the club at around 3plus in the morn. Really had enuff of club i rem...hungry...tired...n slpy. So slpy..i din even get dinner b4 i fell aslp. hai...bad for tummy. I rem heading down to sch the following day to meet my Management Science (MS) ppl for MS assignment. Hai. Its a mugger university..
Pam's Bday
The following day..after meeting my MS ppl..i went to Pam's bday party. And i realli feel like killing her! Looking at her address...(First Ave)..i knew she was one rich gal. So i asked her...if there was any dress code for her party.
She said no.
N i thot it would be a casual party..'throw-her-into-the-pool' kind of party. So i wore t-shirt n jeans. I was how wrong man...
When i got there...there were cars pulled up all over her house front. There was realli no where i could park without blocking another hse's gates. So weiyuan n i called pam to ask if i could park inside. She said yes and so i turned in..into her hse.
Entering her driveway..it was steep. couldnt see the main hse. And i had to drive for a while b4 i finally pulled up front in front of her main hse!!
It is one big hse man...
When i got out of the car...there was a field...with lit torches along the perimeter. It was such a sight! And the grass on the field was carpet grass. Fit for golfing!
And there was a banquet going on there...with waitresses and servers serving guests. And the worse thing was...all the waitresses and servers were better dressed than me!!!
When i stood beside the beer dispenser, I looked like i was working there! I swear someone wanted to come up to me to get me to server them!! And they were serving 'Archipelago' instead of the regular tiger n garlsberg stuff. Great tasting and expensive stuff!
The buffet table was so long...i'm not sure if it could fit into one mrt carriage! I should have gone there with an empty stomach! haha.
They had coconut trees...swimming pools...bushes...all the things dat u would associate with a country club. It was a huge mansion! When i checked out the hse..i realised even the maid has got their own toilets! I dun even have!! Lol.
And when i got to pam's room, it was 3 times the size of mine..EXCLUDING the bath room. Including, it was 4 times my room!
I got curious abt her family and went to check out the photos in the hall. And dats where i saw her dad in the 'Swearing in ceremony' of ex-president Ong Teng Chong. And i was.."wa.." n to the next photo...her dad was next to Queen Elizabeth. n i was super 'wa'...speechless.
I will nv dare piss pam off again. lol.
When Pam n her dad wanted to talk to the guest...they had to use a PA system! With speakers facing us. Tsk Tsk. One rich family!
It was a pity i couldnt take more pics..as my cam batt was down.
Most of us left around 12 plus...as we had Bizcom Orientation the following day. It was like..3 days of non stop bizcom.
