getting into the culture?

lecture is getting interesting. all the drugs and how it affects the body. yes that's pharmacology. the female lecturer is good. but erm abit fast, becos of the accent, certain terms which i haven heard be4 will haf to take sometime for me to register . and by the time i got the term, she's onto the next point. i'm quite fortunate that i take bio be4 la, most of the terms i've heard be4 even with her accent, i can still make out what is it. sat in the sch's cafe with rehana, my flat mate, and her frens. it's really small not like nus canteen. yes that;s why it's called a cafe instead of a canteen. her frens are from sweden and iran. haha quite an international bunch la. 2 bros from sweden. and they're studying the same course. cool rite. i've also registered my module but there might be some changes, again.

after lecture, i got to meet ming, the chem eng prof. yes as mentioned by fellow singaporeans, he's super nice. he's going to design a module specially to cater for me. can u believe it? so niceeee...so paiseh lor...like special treatment, i hope i dun give him extra work, causing inconvenience. well at least he claimed that there's no prob at all....he set the syllabus, i work then he access. haha...but one thing la...haha dun think i can slack. he's like quite into self development? of cos think i should learn something in preparation for FYP when i return. but honestly i had planned to slack and just make sure that i cleared the relevant MCs...oops.haha. so the module need some more negotiation and confirmation then it'll be done. thinking of replacing the digital control module from ee with one of ming's mod. the dig control quite cheem ah, edelene might be dropping that mod, so i might face some prob studying it myself, it's abt converting from analogue to digital systems. erm all engineering terms la. and it's using matlab! though it'll be useful, but it's too new for me, i haven any knowledge at all!

hah! finally get to see jiafang, from ISE, he just arrived 2-3 days ago after celebrating cny in china. he's also busy cfming his mod. eh stays in a faraway flat from campus, 30 min walk away, can u imagine that he has to walk every day to and fro. omg! i'm gg to visit his flat tmr. wont be with edelene this wkend, cos she's gg over nottingham to meet her fren. there wont be enuff space for me to stay over, so the train tix 20 P for a day trip...erm...not very worth la. i might just give that town a miss, or i'll see if i can drop by during easter trip. jiafang came over to my room, we chatted for quite sometime, updating each other with the happenings around.

ooh...i cooked the instant macaroni with canned salmon in lemon sauce left behind by the chem eng guys who returned to sg just a few days back. haha i checked the mail too late. zq's sis, jin and her bf, erik cooked curry! so nice of them to invite me over. well i cant miss that. curry! even in sg i seldom eat. sun fei from flat 17 came over to pick me up, so we chop chop go over erik's place, flat 37. poor edelene, her laptop crash. oh my that's the worse thing to happen. she din join us for curry, think her fren helping her solve the prob ba. wow, the sweet and sour pork, toasted bread with curry chicken and some rice. it's a spread lor! delicious really..the curry is of suepr high standard. gin took the curry and chilli powder specially from sg over. yummy! great dinner.

after dinner we went hancock, a pub nearby, 15 min walk away. well first time i drank one whole pint and some sips of other types of beer. mine was tetley, bitter but smooth. i've also tried carling which's gassy(spelling looks funny) and diesel which is ribena beer, haha it's blackcurrant syrup with beer. it's very cheap, one pint is 1Pnot too bad but a bit sweet. then we tried wine, rose. 5.50P for a bottle. man i was real red. haha we were like taking photos. but anyway they say it's good to be red, and i can drink quite well compared to the other guys who started swaying after half a pint. the place is quite nice la, but abit too smoky ya? an experience. till now it's 12.21 am...still feeling warm. think can slp quite well tonight. k nitey!
