Earworm: They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard>>check out the lalafied youtube vidwow.. i survived more than one week without internet.. no chatting.. no blogging.. no emailing... but then again, there's tons to do in sheares.. i love my room.. except that the afternoon sun comes in and can hear construction in the morning.. but i still love it! pictures will be posted... maybe when i get my brand new fujitsu S7110 laptop! still have to wait two weeks for it coz the bloody matriculation people so unflexible.
i moved in on the 23rd july and was given a temporary room in block A which was not bad, it faces the street. my current one faces kent ridge so blinds have to be drawn for privacy... after that it was just busy-ness with either sheares or pharmacy rag.. for the uninitiated rag day in NUS is for all the halls and faculties to showcase their floats and performances, also to thank the public for their support during flag day, which is asking for donations, (yes we've all been thru it during JC) i suspect its named rag day so it rhymes with flag lol.. or maybe its coz they try to use as many recycled products as possible. the lower the cost the better. the detailing of the designs will just blow your mind! aluminium cans cut into intricate sizes to be pasted on wood, wheels made from cardboard, can rings stuck onto sweepers...come on sheares!
er.. i guess i should cheer pharmacy on too... what have i gotten myself into, joining dance.. cheerleader style some more.. its too fast paced to be coordinated.. and i feel like its an obligation.. taking time away from sheares activities. but since i've already committed myself.. i'll stay to the end.. including waking up at 4am on rag day to put on makeup!
med checkup at UHWC was quite horrendous... was taken aback by breast examination by this middle aged female doctor, and people carrying around small beakers of urine.. the x ray takes only 10 seconds to do but the wait was 3 hours long!!!
science talk about bidding for core modules was butt numbing.. and we had our first assignment to talk to a pharmacist.. found one at watson's bugis junction.. NUS grad too.. tho he said the system was not updated.. on the job is a whole new learning experience.. but i can tell he quite enjoys retail pharmacy.. can never find pharmacist in guardian to talk to...pharmacy had instant quiz too during their briefing.. i can see where people are getting at, saying the course can be demanding already...luckily pharmacy dont have to bid for much modules.. more structured.. 9 to 5 timetable.
and visited pgp with ken yee and yat sau.. yat sau's type A room is niice..cold gleaming floors with attached bathroom.. and air con!!! but generally pgp is vast and eerily quiet.. i wonder if ken yee found out whats behind the bathroom door yet.. the constant leakage adds to the creepiness.. like dark water.
also went to visit tj with phoe and teresa..mrs than asked me to invite her to my wedding haha! then lunch at coffee club siglap and went to tampines for the lake house.. keanu imitating a tree lol.. his acting is not that bad.. just that he did his crying scene quite pathetically and the cinema crowd was sniggering.. its a rather sweet movie... if u suspend your logic. i always think too much in movies involving time travel, like harry potter 3.. and spoiler alert.. i dun think people can be brought back from the dead. i felt like keanu reeves and sandra bullock have not much chemistry tho comic timing was there.. when they kiss, can just see her receiving without much passion. ah well, nitpick? i love the soundtrack.. this song called this could be happening by paul mccartney.
yesterday yh and kl came to visit sheares.. jealous much by the room? =p wonder what they're gonna do during orientation...heard durin malaysian camp charlie and yichin were most enthusiastic freshies? and chunleen and angeline (hey they rhyme) were best couple..oooh! tj power haha! went out to holland v for dinner.. i ordered fish noodles.. not that nice.. i miss the tj one!
went to ikea twice. once got a mug and the second time bought a gossa mini pillow.. they're having annual clearance sale.. heaven forbid, dun go on weekends.. crowd's horrendous! i havent tried the ikea meatballs yet!!!
life in nus is pretty much lookin for the correct bus to go everywhere.. more than once took the wrong bus and ended up further away to where we wanna go...and i hadnt had time to sit down quietly in my room yet...
gotta wake up early tmr to go ICA...
