running in circles

I am so so so .. upset/pissed/angry with one of the admin people in school.

I kinda overslept and woke up at 1130 this morning. Obviously i couldn't make it for the 12pm class. So i decided that i will attend the 3.30 Corporate Finance class instead, and not go for FI. Well, i think that going FI is like wasting my time there anyway too..

So when i was on my way to school Karen told me she's going to change her unit from micro to macro. So i called her. She asked me to call the admin people and let them know, and then she's going to make payment for the change of unit. So i called. But no one picked up. I thought she was busy so i went for class first and tried calling during the break.

Still, no one picked the call. So i went up to the admin office and still no answer. Decided to call another person since both of them are in charge. And this is what went between .. Let's call her A.

Me: Hi, I'm a UOL student and I am calling because i want to change one of my units.
A: Sorry we don't entertain request to change modules from this week onwards.
Me: Oh but my friends came earlier to look for xxx today and she approved it.
A: Did your friends email us? Last week?
Me: Yes they did. I emailed you guys too but up till now I have yet to receive a reply from you guys.
A: Who did you email?
Me: The admin people ...
A: What is your name
Me: Michelle.
A: Okay, you wait for our reply.
Me: But then how come my friends who came earlier can change ...
A: Since you have already emailed us, wait for our reply. We are in the process of checking the mails.
Me: ok.

She didn't even give me a chance to like finish what i wanna say.. HELLO. (!!)
Am really so so so so pissed off la. Just giving me a whole load of bullshit to wait for the email reply. So I wait until when ? Tomorrow's macro class first lesson leh. So now, should i attend it first or not in case i cannot catch up in the event that i can switch over.

And i really don't like the tone that she used, sounded so aloof. Yes i know i need your help but still.. ? Even if everything is okay, i also have to pay for the services right? Sigh.

Anyhow, after class i went for my tuition. After tuition, the little girl asked if i have time to stay behind and watch one episode of a korean drama with her. It's those chinese kung fu shows. ha. So i stayed behind for awhile and chatted with her mother.
My chinese has kinda deproved a little considering the fact that i don't use it very often.. So i had quite a little difficulty in talking to her at times. ha. But i realised, she came over to Singapore after the Sichuan's earthquake. She's from Sichuan. The little girl's doing quite well in school in China too. Over in singapore, she's to brush up alot on her English.

I don't know if its just too much thinking on my part, but I feel that it's so unfair that I might be kicked out even before I knew i was in it.

It isn't fair right? Everyone do get second chances, even though it may mean that I may never get in again. But at least i can still stay by the side. I don't think I was even given that chance.

I don't know what went wrong, and wasn't given any chance to say anything.

Once again, i haven't been actively updating this blog.

Well, i have been pretty busy with quite a bit of things. Actually i'm not that quite busy. On some days i have school, and the rest of the days i don't know what i have been doing.

I tried to study, my brain seems to have configured itself such that whenever i look at the notes, i will feel tired and sleepy when in actual fact i just woke up like 2 hours ago. So i will go and take a nap, and there goes one day.

I accepted one tuition assignment teaching a china girl English. I accepted it for a few reasons. I wanna earn extra money, and also I wanna do something besides just studying now.She is sitting for her entrance exam on the 13th oct and her mother wants tuition 5 days a week for the next two weeks. But that's pretty time consuming on my part because i am already 2-3 weeks lagging behind in terms of the readings and self study that i'm supposed to do.

Poly is definitely a far cry from university, although both are tertiary levels. I always feel that we are still being spoonfed in poly. We're always given clues on what to study during revision lectures in poly.. and that's because the paper are set by the lecturers themselves. My friend told me, "I got by poly exams through the exam tips.."

I don't know if i have got myself drunk. Yesterday night (friday) I was out drinking with my friends at wala wala. However, the band EIC wasn't playing today cos they were playing at the F1. So, some other band took over. Compared to other visits, we didn't order alot of drinks this time round but this is the only time that I drank till i puked.

I had 2 coronas as they were going 1 for 1, 1 Asahi and 1 white wine. I guess i probably drank a tad too fast, and i wasn't feeling very comfortable with the band playing and all so I went downstairs to take a breather.. and my friend asked if i wanna puke it out, and i would feel better.

I did feel better after inducing the puke. ha! So i went upstairs and took abit of water. I still felt uncomfortable upstairs, so i stayed downstairs for quite abit. There's one time i was upstairs and this time i really feel like puking, and couldn't wait till I'm downstairs so i just rushed to the toilet. But after everything, I'm much better. Yes, I can still walk.

I was feeling happy all along, until something just hit me that made me really upset. I wanted to cry so much but no tears could come out. They said that alcohol will magnify the state the person is. If you're happy, you'll be really happy. If you're upset, you will more upset.

It's been a pretty long while since i've last updated. Been pretty busy / lazy.

I've been wanting to go for a swim for the longest time ever, probably last year. I finally managed to get myself down to the pool sometime two weeks back at Safra Mount Faber. The pool is nice i would say, but it is rather disgusting to swim and see two mats lying on the floor of the pool. It looked quite dirty too. I wonder what on earth is the mat doing there! But i love the shower area, not only is the design nice they have hot water showers too! (:

I caught the show 4bia two weeks back. I wouldn't say its a fantastic show but at some point it can be quite funny, just not worth the $8 price tag. We concluded that there's a moral to each of the four short stories.

Last week was one busy week. There were many late nights too. I enjoy the times having green tea and just talking about almost everything. Thankfully the classes have yet to start. (:

Last monday had dinner with the peeps once again, before Annabel flew. We had a 7 course meal, and we had 7 people at the table.

I tried the high tea buffet at Lao Beijing. The bill came up to about $13 per pax after gst and service charge, but i feel that the food isn't that fantastic that i'll go back there.

And Friday was the day that Annabel had to leave for China. Sent her off at the airport at 5am. James and I agreed that it feels weird without you around. ha!

29th August
Friday

I went out at about 1plus to meet Annabel at Suntec for the Comex. Even in the afternoon, there's already quite alot of people. This round's comex they have more stuffs but i'm not really looking for anything to buy so i just walked around abit. Annabel bought a webcam to bring over to china. hoho. So after that, I was craving for salmon sashimi so i wanted to just go sakae sushi for a few plates of sushi and that's all as i haven't had my lunch and i'm going to meet the rest for dinner before the night cycling.

Who knows, when we got there we saw the buffet still on. So we took the buffet package. As the seats by the conveyor belts are all occupied, we took the seats outside and ordered from the menu. In order not to waste time, we just ordered all at one shot. We ordered so much that the waitress told us that there will be charges for food wastage. She probably thought two girls couldnt't possibly finish so much food.

Boy, we did finish all the food but after that i really feel like puking. We even didn't take the complimentary udon and desserts.

I went home and got changed, went to meet kelvin and timo at the bus stop and we took a bus over to SIM and met bryan there.. Brought them over to Megabites.

Went over to the plaza where the rest are there. Played some games and i shall let the pictures do the talking ...

OG 6 .. my og !

OG 2 !!

Well, getting ready to do the classic jump ..

Then more people joined in ..

And yes, there you go! our classic OG 2 jump, but i covered Pearl's face..

OG 2 always come up with new poses, so this is our new pose. the gate shot.

And it ended up with us climbing further up the gate. And there you have Andy from OG 5 ... peeping at Minglong and Leo?

This shot taken after our first pit-stop at Adam road..

Taken at Esplanade!

Macdonaldssss...! After the night cycling we're all famished.

The night cycling was fun, although tiring. We cycled from SIM to Adam Road for supper, then to Upper Thomson's Devil's Bend, then to Esplanade via Bishan and lastly, ECP. So happy that I made it through. Especially the slopes. They are the killer. Usually when you drive, you think nothing of them. But not when you are cycling !
