Wow. feels like almost another month since my last update.
fricking long.
frick-on-a-stick-with-a-brick-ing long.
ah well, nothing much's been happening since i got back to ol' Bris. School's a bummer. let's see. I am taking for this semester; Environmental and Occupational Health and Hygiene, Engineering Physics, Environmental Policy and Politics, and Environmental Economics. Thats a pretty darn huge range of subject coverage. yeah well, i was like wtf also when i chose it, but it was the best choice of all considering my pollution major. see, physics is a compulsory course, and i have to take it in 2nd yr, when it is a physics 1st yr course. nvm. politics also 2nd yr compulsory. econs this sem have to do cos last yr i did chem. and health n hygiene, is compulsory for my major (almost every1 else is doing it as an elective. wth.). so basically, my combi this sem, is bo pian one. how nice to know.
time to rant a lil abt sch.
ZOMFG. the physics lecturer is such a lame chrome-dome. and his rather distracting combover isnt helping. I havent touched physics in 6 years! have to catch up to score for this, can treat this as my math course for the sem.
health n hygience lecturer's this pot-bellied jolly ol' fella. nice, entertaining, but talk so SOFT. sheesh. but not that bad la, the labs are interesting and this sub is the most interesting of all this sem.
econs econs econs... and i thought i had rid of u within my 1st month in YJC... now u come back to haunt me.. why... why... why...? tolong ah... so many readings to do.. and the articles are like type u read like this;
"Title, 1st paragraph, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" sheesh man. tsk.
politics kampuah jialat. the lecturer got mood swings one. kns. he's the only lecturer whose name i remember, prob also cos i had the fella in my 1st yr 1st sem. when good mood, talk with a perpetual smile on his face, a wry grin everytime he makes a subtle joke the class laughs at. knn during the 3rd week monday, all of us supposed to hand in a reading analysis for grading, some cheebye kias dunno how to listen, dunno how to read course outline, dunno how to read lecture notes, end up either doing the analysis on the wrong article, handing up on a later date, or not doing at all. then all went to ask him for extension. the fella flare up, come to lecture face like orhlang, just rambles off in a monotonous voice and pisses everybody off. to those who cannot read/listen properly: u are in either 2nd yr or 3rd yr alrd. if u cannot even do the 1st assignment for this course properly without pissing off the lecturer this bad, pls, kindly pull down ur pants, spread ur ass cheeks and let us ram a durian inside. sheesh man, 1 of the more important chapters to be covered in the lecture and u get the lecturer all fired up for nothing. booooo.
ok, other than all that in sch, nothing much changed. the gang in my sch pretty much scattered up all over, all due to our different majors. (Why why why nobody else doing pollution...) so, i only see them all in politics lecturer, and we all ended up in different tuts for that as well. ah well. at least i get to meet new fellas, not too bad. there's a bunch of china international students here for exchange prog as well, i see them in a few lects and classes here n there, but they kinda have the dao attitude, sometimes during lect they kiaokah onto the seat and armrest infront like nobody business, talk loudly among themselves during lect, see alrd buay tahan, feel liek shouting to them "diu lei lo mo haam gah qan" or "ou! zhong guo che da pian" but i wont since my tolerance is a at a pretty good level. heh.
i have met up with kuan since we got back, he me and alex had a bbq cookout at my balcony a few weeks ago. as for the rest like emu (that fella lied to me and kuan abt not coming back anymore KNN), tanvi, tim and james, havent met them yet, but hope to see them soon.. the neighbours are still the same, zan and lydia, (act i only saw them just once, cos i had dinner at zan's place. after that didnt see them arnd. also havent seen annie or sunny anrd too. gee..)
life here's pretty mundane, without G arnd, its kinda zombie like. G's been arnd with me everyday last yr, everything's so different without her here. miss her so much, cant wait to go back in june, and for her to hopefully able to visit in sept. without her anrd, cooking's just a hassle. no one to help to cook, no one to enjoy or smile when i get a dish right, no one to banter with as to who wash dishes, no one to eat meals with. it's so different without her. sigh..
well, alex is back on the 23rd floor, same as always, weekends on sat we go groc, cook dinner together, sometimes try something fancy like his mini bbq stove. after that, talk kok abt past experiences and old days in YJC and our ns life..
i have been surviving (or shld i say leeching) on US tv shows, namely (in alphabetical order..) 24 (Jack is the Man, no further comments), American Dad, Desperate Housewives, Drawn Together, Family Guy, Heroes (the "Lost" of superheroes), House, How I met your Mother, Lost, Scrubs, Smallville, and The Simpsons.. and for some reason, almost ALL ARE ON HOLD THESE 3 WEEKS except for a few. WHY WHY WHY?????
tsk. ah well. best shows so far, 24, heroes, how i met ur mother, lost, scrubs.
why?
ok may contain spoilers for those who havent watched, pls refrain from reading. if u do, too bad.
24: err.. Jack, nuclear bonb that exploded on US soil, killer gunfights, Jack.
Heroes: Great storyline, interweaving character histories and destinies, the impending awesomeness of Peter Petrilli (did i spell that right?) and Hiro (Yatta! rolf)
House: House seems to start to open up his character more to his friends, to gain acceptance.
How i met ur mother: well obviously the suspense of when ted will meet his future wife, and why and when he and robin will eventually break up (aww....)
lost: jack seems to be getting to work with the Others more now.
scrubs: the comedy la, its plain funny.
smallville's back this thurs, opening with Lana and Lex's wedding, i ll catch that later in the week kekekeke.
oh btw, Jack Bauer of 24 fame seems to suffer from the classic stormtrooper effect. mainly that on which in a loud gunfight crossfire, the main character is able to stand up and fire off as many shots possible, even reloading while standing up, all the while miraculously avoiding being shot at by at least 10 different enemies with guns each, and managing to hit all of his targets in seemingly fatal shots. for more information, please see the Star Wars series, more notably, the classic trilogy episodes 4 to 6. or u can search it up on wikipedia, they have a mathematical formula for this. or u can similarly watch shows featuring actors/robots such as Arnold Swatchwatchenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme.
Coincidentally, 1 famous quote from a Van Damme movie goes like this.
"Au revoir fucker!"
How in your face.
ta!
