first 2 days in sch

super nice and helpful sch of biomed sci. it is where i took 2 mod namely pharmacology n physiology. can know drugs and self cure cos i think seeing docs are a waste of money and physio is sorta related, knowing more abt the human body.. cant take bio mod in nus so will take it here. haha..too bad here doesnt haf mod such as skiiing or horseback riding for me to take as UEMs.. i know other unis haf..so dun tempt me anymore. the prof is very nice. he just brought me to the office and 2-3 staffs split work to help me look for timetables and register for my modules. though they do things slow and steady, i like the teamwork that they haf. very organised.
hmm i'll haf to fret abt getting the transfer of credits approved. this is just one issue.

i went to the sch of ME. i didnt lias with any of the staff there be4 i came over. i've no knowledge of having to do anything like this lor. online info wasnt clear. and my nus sep coord said i can cfm the mod here then email them for mapping. well now, the ME sch here doesnt allow me to take any mod, saying that all their mod spans over 2 sems so they cant let me take any! was i not shocked?omg! i cant clear any TE here! it really cant be lor. i've FYP and design mod in yr 4 alr,i dun haf time to take so many mod back home. even i do, timetable may clash and cors wont allow me to take either. by hook or by crook i need to clear 2 TEs here. so paiseh ..i broke down in front of them but i really endure for very long le...then they so insistent. i even said that i can just self study, dun need any prof to teach me specially, just set a paper for me can le. then they say need to check and will email me again. this is alr the 2nd time i went to the office le. they say hopefully by the end of today. yes really hopeless cos i din receive it. it's only 621pm. office closes at 4. super well done.

well of cos i've to start doing back ups then. but i still hope i can do ME mod cos there'll be higher chances to map as TEs. but i've looked for CHe and ee mod, at least they are engin mod, hoping nus will approve as TE if ME here deny me of any mod.planning and planning...no ending. life has been too good liao...no frens i know come tog, pple here alr has their click, perhaps of diff culture, they are just not as hospitable as asians ba. if i were the majority, i 'll get the minor in and help her adapt better unless she isolate herself and refuse to join. of cos i take initiative to mix ard, but it always doesnt last..it takes 2 hands to clap one wat. ok unless one palm is big enuff. so yup all friendly hi bye frens. they dun even cook tog. they also never take initiative to come knock on my door and invite me to anything? like wat i heard in nus halls. well maybe next time they go clubbing i'll be bhb and just "yo yo. can i join u all?" so duh...haha..it's not me lor. haha if they go skiing or other fun sports i might say "hey hey sounds fun can i come along?" but their pastime is like drinking and clubbing. i dun mind go and see once la but they nv ask wat. nvm lai ri fang chang, i'll go try once one la..

sianz lor...just want my mod to be settled then i wont be so fan2 cos life here is still within my control. i can still enjoy myself if i want to. and oh so many niceee and helpful frens, albert, rude, chinchao and merv,amy, abel, tze ting etc...they auto offer help one lor...cheered me up by chatting with me. and many more whom i'm sry that i've no chance to talk to u all yet. cos most of the time i'm doing my mod.so vexing. make me miss sg more. but it's only been a wk.

edel and i chatted for a long time last night. nice chatting with her. we shared same sentiments! lucky got her here lor. when it's abt 8pm, she went over blk17 to get blanket from fren. wow! we were surprised at how foggy it was. visibility is very low! so obviously it'll be dangerous for her to walk back to her hall...of cos i asked to stay over lo. yup great to haf company. too bad we dun stay in the same flat else can cook tog lo.

lessons were boring. attended 2 today. the 2nd lecturer is better but i still drifted off sometime. nothing much, one lect on blood,the other only introductory. i bought a lab coat and goggles for 15 P..so ex. they're for practicals...why need the coat one. and goggles i thot it's free from the lab.
