I mentioned that I dreaded going to school.. I think today's lecture totally changed my outlook of school. Going to school is quite fun afterall! Prof Brian (my hoca [teacher in turkish i think]) is a really cool lecturer with a great sense of humour. Glad I'm gonna be in his tutorial class.

Though I was quite pissed I have no choice but to register Intro to Magical Realism as my 5th module, I'm glad I made that choice after reading through the course info.

Let the engineers build the bridge. WE ENGLISH MAJORS shall just walk over them.

It's only the first week of school, and I have tons of readings to do...
Just for this semester, I have to read 10 texts.. and mind you, it's just Core Texts. I still have short stories and readings to do... ahhh....

My Engrish sueerely wrill imploove by thee end of my 4 years in NTUU...

Nanyang Technological University...
Non-young Technological University!

Anyway.. As I was going to school today, I saw from the train a primary school having its Sports Day in the school field. Made me reminisce my days in Qifa where we had our Sports Day every 8th August.. From running the zig-zag events to the 80metres relays, to the 100metres relays, and my highest achievement.. 400metres! -.-'' I guess the most memorable one would be the 4X100m relay with my friends.. how we want so badly to win.. The most heartbreaking one was in Primary 6.. one day before my 400metres relay, I twisted my ankle..I can never forget that.. It was my last year in primary school, last sports day, last chance to win a gold medal! (cuz i won the bronze the previous year). Oh well.. I miss primary school days badly.. especially the FOOD! 60cents chicken rice.. 50cents noodle.. 10cents soya bean drink... Qifa serves the best food.. I still dream of the school canteen once in a while! =D That's probably why I can never forget the canteen there. Oh ya.. I can also remember the wanton mee lady that sells pathetic wantons..

As much as Im not happy with the education system in Singapore, I don't wanna leave the studying world. I don't wanna enter the working world.. I hope my 4 years in NTU go really slowly.

Let me see how much I can remember from the Qifa School Song..
.....
.....
to do our very best.
In Harmony and Friendship..
Prosperity and Progress!
Chorus:
Qifa, Qifa, Qifa our pride and our star
Together we will work and strive!!!
For excellence, success, and Qifa.

I can't remember the rest.. haha..

P:S I can't even remember my secondary school song.. not a single word nor the tune.. For JC? HAH! Worse, I didn't even try remembering the lyrics to the schoolsong and I didn't sing a single word when the school song was played!


TTFN~!
