My Complicate Life ♥

Konichiwa!

It had been 2 weeks since my last post le. Everyday wanted to post something but cannot find the right time and place to do it. Now, even if i wanted to recap what i had done for the previous days, it will be quite difficult.

Ok, lets start recaping from 18 April. Had only BMGT lecture. I went there by taking MRT with my mother since she going to work at Chinatown as well. The ride was super long but i don't want to go to school by shuttle bus as i would be around 2.5hrs earlier since my lecture only start at 11am. After i reached school, i went to LT22 for lecture and sat with LinLin & Sui Hui. The lecture was super boring as the lecturer was merely reading off the slides. Three of us almost fell asleep. I was rather fed up with my notebook battery as i cannot last more than 1hr 40 minutes. Hence, i had to use power saving mode throughout the whole lecture. T.T After lecture, rushed back to Tampines as i was supposed to meet Kim Liong at Tampines to return him his SANA booklet. Met Joel on bus 74. He was there with his friend. We had a chat along the way. He didn't even know which stop to alight despite it was already a week since he entered NP. =.= When we reached Dover MRT, i last minute remembered had to buy something so had to part with him. By the time i got to Dunman, it was super late already. The security uncle super funny. I met Kim Liong at the Atrium. After that, i went to General Office to make enquiries on my testimonial. However, it was not ready yet, which means i had to go back there to collect again. T.T The security uncle said like that can meet me one more time again. After that, Kim Liong and me went to 28 bus stop to wait for the bus. We met Shahera and Kamini. Two of them alighted at the library bus stop while Kim Liong and me alighted at Interchange. I rushed to Dhoby Ghaut where i was supposed to meet Indri. She would be super late due to her lessons. As i didn't have my lunch, i was super hungry, but i did not want to eat without her. I had no where else to go so i went to KFC to sit down. I went to purchase a cup of drink and the service was bad. >:( I sat at one corner to do my homework while waiting for her. At around 5.20pm, she came. We didn't know where to go, so we went to spotlight first to purchase my threads. While at spotlight, Xu Han SMSed to see where we were so she could come over to meet us. We told her we at Spotlight and she didn't know where was it. She thought when we said spotlight, we were referring to the stage spotlight. =.= We had to spend long time explaining to her that spotlight was the name of a shop. After she reached, we had a good laugh at her. We didn't manage to hang around long as Xu Han and me had to rush for our lesson. In the end, i didn't eat dinner either. haha. The three of us walked from Dhoby Ghaut to Somerset together. Along the way, we stopped at Old ChangKee as Indri felt hungry. We parted at Robinson where Indri went to take MRT home, Xu Han and me went to buy my coffee then went to class. During the break, Xu Han felt thirsty again so we had to chiong all the way to 7-11 again to buy her drink. Along the way, i kept doing my knitting and she got so fed up. I was rather irritated as i kept doing the wrong way. At last, the lesson ended and we went home. Xu Han helped me carried my bag for a while. She said that my bag was super heavy and asked me how many gold bars i carried inside. =.= She couldn't believe how come i could carry it for so long. haha

On Saturday, i woke up early. My mom brought me to Jurong at 9am where i can get my notebook fixed. After we reached Jurong MRT, we went to take a cab to Acer building. It was huge. We managed to find the servicing centre but we were shocked to see long queue there. We waited for a long time before it was our turn. The person checked my notebook battery and agreed to change the battery for us free of charge as ours was brand new. If it was not brand new, we would have to purchase. Lucky! After my notebook was fixed, we walked to Jurong Entertainment centre to have lunch there. We had Korean Cuisine, the one i went with Pearlyn the other time, and it was not bad. My mom liked it as well. =) After lunch, both of us felt bloated so we had a little stroll around first. I showed her Fuji Ice-skating rink and lucky for us, there was a performance by professional skaters there. While watching, she agreed to let me learn ice-skating during my holidays as it is sport and as a make up for my CCA. I can't wait for holiday to come. After that, we went to bugis as my mom wanted to buy a printer at Sim Lim Building. We did not know which shop there would sell the printer she was looking for so had to go level by level. Luckily, we spotted it soon enough. After she purchased the printer, we went over to the other shop to buy a longer parallel wire. I helped to carry to printer while my mom carried my notebook. The printer was heavier than expected. After that, we went to take MRT home. When i reached home, my ankle started to hurt again, most probably due to all the walking and carrying of the printer. After i charged my notebook, i rested and massaged my ankle. I did my homework before going to sleep.

Last Monday, it was the first day of full day classes. My bag was super heavy again due to the DSS texbook. In the morning, we had DSS workshop. We were supposed to discuss about our PBL. We started splitting up work and immediately got into action. After DSS, we had INFA tutorial immediately upstairs. This was our first tutorial. We introduced ourselves again and recap what we learnt during the lecture. We also discussed the tutorial questions as a class. Ace, Tony, Sui Hui, Shine and me had our lunch together at Canteen 1. Tony, Shine and me ate the same thing. =.= After that, we went to OurSpace@72 to discuss more about our PBL. We managed to start of Task 1. However, we didn't manage to discuss much as we only had 1 hr lunch break. =( We climbed the stairs all the way to level 5 for our DSS tutorial. We were given some introductions and briefing before we get down to work. We also spent some time trying to engage our notebook to the power supply. While doing the work, i realised that Ace wasn't doing what teacher told us to do, instead, he was doing PBL. haha. He so hardworking. After school, Ace, Sui Hui and me went to the Atrium as Sui Hui wanted to submit her bursary form. After that, we chatted a little until Sui Hui went off. Ace and me were left so we started to do PBL. We couldn't do much as there was too much that we didn't know. Hence, the two of us identified and listed down those that we didn't know how to do and split the work among the rest of the member. The two of us emailed the rest to tell them what to look for before the next meeting. After that, i went back and Ace stayed there. I went to meet my mom at Chinatown for dinner. After that, we went to buy a backpack for me to use on Mondays so that i wouldn't hurt my back due to heavy bag. After that, we went home by taking bus to Kembangan then MRT to Tampines. Both of us were so tired that we slept through the entire ride. After i reached home, did my homework before going to sleep.

On Tuesday, the first lesson was BMGT tutorial. It was raining and there was a traffic jam. Hence, i reached there 9am sharp. I thought i was late for sure. As it was the first time having that tutorial and going to that classroom, i couldn't find the place originally and spent around 5-10 minutes going round in circles. Finally, i found the classroom and luckily, the teacher had not arrived yet. We started off the tutorial with introduction about ourselves (again) through OHP. It was quite funny with our introduction at some point. After that, we were split into groups and we were to discuss about our working experiences. As i was the only one in my group who had worked before =.= , my group shared about mine. I did the presenting and i found that i had became braver somehow as i was not nervous at all. haha. After BMGT, we had MAEC lecture at LT22, which was like SUPER far from where we were. We were a little late, as expected. Luckily, the lecture had not started. The lecture was not too bad, not boring and i learnt a lot. After the lecture, we walked back to canteen 1 for lunch. After lunch, we went to the Atrium bookshop to purchase our BMGT textbook. After that, Shine went to IT helpdesk to fix her notebook while Sui Hui and i went to BA General Office to submit my MC. Sui Hui and me went to OurSpace@72 to slack first while waiting for Shine. I did some editing on the PBL that Ace done to make it look neater. After Shine came, we chatted a little before heading for INFA lecture at LT22. We were taught on B/S, P&L statement and double entry although some parts the lecture was quite boring and we almost fell asleep. haha. The lecture dragged a little but overall was ok. After lecture, i rushed to Dhoby Ghaut for dinner with my mother before walking to Somerset together for my lesson. Xu Han said she would be late due to her lessons at TP so i went for class first without her. I was starting to have a hard time as there were just too much informations in my head and i could not remember everything. T.T Information overloaded. After lesson, i went home and did my homework before going to sleep.

On Wednesday, as usual, i reached school early again. I went to OurSpace@72 to read up on notes until 9.55am then i went for my LMS lesson. We submitted our blog marksheet to teacher bfore the start of the lesson. The teacher talked about self-awareness and self-esteem (that week theme) and we learnt Johari Window and stuffs like that. After lesson, i went to have lunch with my mom at Tampines Mall. After lunch, we went to walk around and i bought some books, and a watch from City Chain. So far, Wednesday is the only day that i can go home at 12noon. However, it would not last long as IAC would also be starting fairly soon, before i knew it. =( Did my homework and i started to find the modules tough. T.T

On Thursday, had BLAW tutorial first thing in the morning. As usual, introduction about ourselves first, and we did some recap on the lecture. After that, we discussed the tutorial questions. The tutor was quite funny and made the whole tutorial interesting. After tutorial, PBL gang met up again to discuss about PBL since we had 3hrs break. We had lunch together with Jessie first before going to OurSpace@72 to do PBL. It was rather crowded but we found a place nevertheless. We managed to combine effort and completed Task 1 and half of Task 2. After that, we chatted and rested before BLAW lecture. We all headed towards LT22 for lecture and sat together. The lecture was boring and i almost dozed off. After the lecture, i went home. Did my homework before i went to sleep.

On Friday, had MAEC tutorial first. Mr. Nathan asked me about my ankle conditions and asked me to meet him at 1pm in his office before the start of the lesson. We recap on previous lecture and discussed on the tutorial questions. His answers were so long that my hands were aching after all the writing. I hated myself for not using my notebook instead. However, the whole tutorial was not boring and he related the topics that we learnt into our surroundings and the news. It was quite interesting. After MAEC, i had BMGT lecture at LT22. The lecture was once again, boring. I would take note next time to remember to bring sweets. After the lecture, i passed my notebook to Ace first as i promised to lend it to him the previous day. After that, Shine and me went to Canteen 1 to buy our lunch. As it was 1pm already, i didn't eat first and headed to level 9 to look for Mr. Nathan. He passed me the receipts for the clinic and told me to get the receipt for the X-ray from either the clinic or the X-ray place. After long talk with him, i went back to Canteen 1 to eat my lunch. I felt back because i left Shine alone there. I quickly ate my lunch, and Shine brought me to Bukit Timah Plaza because i totally had no idea how to get there. Of course, we locked our bags in the locker first. Once we reached there, we had a hard time locating the clinic. Finally, we found the clinic and they gave me my X-ray. After that, we went to Great World where the X-ray clinic was located to get the official receipt. After that, we walked back to school. We dropped by Canteen 2 to get a fruit juice first as we were both very thirsty after the walk. haha. We went back to the locker to get our bags and went to the library as Shine was meeting her friends and i was meeting Jessie to get back my notebook. Ace left my notebook in Jessie's care after he used. However, after i just reached the library, Mr. Nathan called and asked me to go back to his office as he had something to pass to me. I went all the way back again. He passed me a form and asked me to fill up. I did so and he asked me to pass the form together with the receipts to the Financial Department at Blk 1. Hence, i walked all the way from Blk 72 back to Blk 1 again. I passed the form to one of the person there and realised that i cannot claim the first $50 of the bill. =( All these walking here and there just to claim $28++. =.= After that, i went back to library again. I really appreciated the air-con after all those walking. I waited for Jessie to complete her work and Ace to come back. However, even at the time we were leaving, Ace didn't come back, so we had to carry his belongings for him. As i looked like i was carrying the least things, i was in charged of his bag. I looked funny with 2 bags and a notebook. We walked down the stairs but realised that level 1 door was not opened. Hence, we had to go up to level 2 again and walked out by the library main entrance. We managed to find Ace at the Atrium so we passed him his belongings there. I walked out of the school and just as i was about to climb the overhead bridge, i saw an EZ-link card belonging to one of the students in NP. I had no choice, but to pick up the EZ-link card and walked back into the school again and passed the EZ-link card to the Lost & Found Department of the Student Service Centre. After that, i walked back to the overhead bridge again and cross over to the bus stop. I took bus and MRT to Somerset. I reached there quite early, as i didn't feel like eating dinner, i went to the classroom first to take a quick nap. Xu Han did not come for lesson as her school ended at 7.30pm and by the time she came, she had already missed too much. Luckily, the lesson was rather easy to understand. However, i forgotten to bring my calculator so i had to do all calculations mentally and manually. After the lesson, my mom brought me to the foodcourt at Tampines Interchange for late dinner. After that, went home.

Weekends were homework days. Did my homeworks. On Sunday, something wrong with MEL and all of us could not login so i could not submit my DSS homework. In the end, sent it to teacher by email.

This monday, did PBL discussion during DSS workshop again. Sui Hui was late for lesson but luckily the tutor was late as well. We somehow managed to complete Task 2 eventually by the end of DSS workshop. However, after seeing the tutor, she said that we had done Task 1 wrongly, hence we had to redo the whole thing. T.T After that, we went to INFA tutorial. We thought that we were late, but Ms. Tan was even later. haha. All the tutors were late that day. We recap on what we had learned and were split into groups where each group was allocated to present one tutorial question. As my whole group did not have anyone with any POA background, we were given the most easy questions of all. haha. After INFA tutorial, Sui Hui, Shine and me went for lunch at Canteen 1 together. Shine had cooked some chicken wings for Sui Hui and me, and it was tasty. After lunch, we went for DSS tutorial. We climbed all the way to level 5 as we did not want to squeeze with other people in the lift. We were so exhausted by the time we reached. Once again, DSS tutorial was boring and we ended up chatting and doing work at the same time. After school, i went home. My mom met me at Tampines MRT to help me carried my heavy bags. Rest a little and did my homework before i went to sleep.

On Tuesday, we had BMGT tutorial first. The lesson was quite ok. One group did their presentation and we recap on the lecture. We were split into groups and each group had to present one tutorial question. We chose question one. After that tutorial, we went for MAEC lecture. The lecturer was very funny and crack a lot of jokes and we had good laugh. This made the whole lecture interesting, and made learning easier. After MAEC lecture, Shine, Sui Hui and me went for lunch at Canteen 2. After that, we went to the library as Shine needed to print her LMS stuff. We spent quite some time figuring out how the printing system work. After that, Jessie came over and meet us and we went to do our BLAW tutorial question. We went around the library to look for vacant seats but in vain so we had no choice but to do in between the stairs. Another group soon joined us. We did the work and crack jokes at the same time. Not before long, we completed it. I went to charge my notebook battery but only had 10 minutes. =.= But, i guess it was better than nothing. After that, the whole group of us went for the INFA lecture. It was a continuous of the previous lecture hence it was equally boring. After the lecture, Sui Hui, Shine and me went to Co-op @ 5 to buy ledger and journal exercise book. It was soon flooded with ACC students. haha. After that, i went for my lesson. As i was still early, i went to walk around Plaza Singapura and Centrepoint for a rest first. I met up with Xu Han at 7-11 at 6.30pm. I was thinking of buying dinner with her but she came with food that her mom bought for her. Hence i didn't buy dinner in the end. After i bought my coffee, we went for lesson. She shared her sushi with me and it was quite nice. haha. For the whole lesson, we did practice questions and Xu Han was not even trying. She was SMSing the whole time. I tried to pursuade her to do some work, but she wouldn't listen. I guessed she simpily find her online friends, especially Joanne, more important than her studies. After the lesson, we went home. After i reached home, i started to do my LMS blog. I typed 4 pages until 3am, i went to sleep.

Today, I woke up at 6am and quickly did some editing on the blog and reduced the number of pages to 3. I quickly get ready to go to school. After i reached the shuttle bus pick up point, it was packed with people. I saw Khairul, Xiao Ting, De Hong, Joel and Piriya. Joel and Piriya didn't see me though. The first bus came at 7.50pm and i couldn't get up as it was full. No choice, had to wait for the next one. The next one came at 8.10am. To our surprise, it was not a big bus, but a small van. Only a few people could get up that van. Once again, i was blocked out. The rest of us that were blocked out waited until 8.30am and determined that the van was the last shuttle service for that morning. I could take MRT to school and still be on time since my lesson was at 10am, but i couldn't just leave Xiao Ting there alone. She had lesson at 9am. In the end, Xiao Ting and me, together with two other girls, we went to Tampines Mall Taxi Stand to take a cab to school in the end. We were saying and joking that we wanted to complain to the school. Luckily, there was no major traffic jam but slow traffic. We alight near the overhead bridge. The fare was $25.80, so each of us had to pay around $6.40. I paid for it first, the two girls returned me money first. As Xiao Ting was already late for class, and i didn't have change, i let her pay me next time. We climbed over the overhead bridge and headed into the school. As Xiao Ting didn't remember where LT28 was, i followed her to look for it since i had time anyway. After sending Xiao Ting to LT28, i went to Blk 56 and slacked there for a half hour before going to level 3 for LMS. LMS was fun. We discussed about listening and had a lot of group activities. One of which was to write down one nice statement. After that, each of us were give 2 emotions and we were supposed to act out the emotions by saying the statement while the rest of the group members guess. It was really funny. Another activity was one of us was to back facing the rest of the group, and tried to descibe and picture while the rest of us drew it out. All of us had a good time. After LMS, i went home. After i reached home, i was too exhausted due to lack of sleep and slept through till 9pm.
