Long Overdue Updates

An entry is long overdue. I haven't been able to find the time or the capacity to blog, things have just been so hectic ever since I made plans to come to James Cook University. Firstly, I think some explanations are required, especially to my friends from SIM.

James Cook University is an Australian-based university. They have 3 universities scattered over Australia. The Psychology program offered is basically the best in Singapore currently. It's an accelerated course of a 2 year degree program. The third year is for honours and if the criteria is fulfilled in the honours year, you can skip the masters and go straight to a doctorate. Obviously, the grading criteria is insane. You basically need to obtain a distinction or high distinction in all the modules you undertake, especially for me as I have 8 exemptions. My degree course is shortened to 1 year for 4 months. However, I am going to take an extra semester because I want to space out my modules so I don't have so much to cope with. I figure, after all I'm paying for the modules not the semesters so it doesn't really matter how long I take, still the same price.

Basically, these 4 weeks have been insane. The amount of work and classes has been quite overwhelming and demanding, especially for the fact that I've decided to take higher level modules, which is obviously not recommended in the first semester. In any case, that's all I've got to say on my current situation.

I definitely made a few good friends in SIM and I really really miss them. Especially, Van, Skye, Tinny and Ann. You guys are my lovable Green Tea Clubbers. I definitely miss the classes where we doodle away on paper and play hangman in class. LOL. I miss Terry and his insatiable desire of snapping rabbit's necks off and Steve and Lydz and their horniness. MAN, good times! Oh well, I guess all I can do is look forward. When I left MGS, I kept missing the days there and kept wanting to go back just for one normal day of 7.30am - 2.15pm school. When I left SFMS, I wanted just one more day too and now that I've left SIM, I want one more day too, but that never happens. I shall not be emo. I forgot to mention how much I miss chattering away with Sandra during lessons about our boys or before they became our boys. Heh.

In any case, a basic update on what I do these days is mahjong, usually on Friday and Saturday nights, going out with mel, doing this mystery shopper job which means travelling to all the Esso stations around Singapore, asking questions and handing out money for questions correctly answered, my weekends from last week, this week and the next week will be at my cousin's car company, we're having a car boot sale, selling anything but cars (me selling plushies), my classes and night classes, meeting old friends, playing dota. I don't have to to sleep. Meh ): Oh wells, I'm enjoying life, a busy life has its quirks. When I was in SIM, it was so slack that everyday I just dove more and more into the art of doing nothing. At least now, I feel alive. Somewhat. I just wish I could have more time for sex. (Sandra just wondering when sex was going to pop up :D)

To sum up my rojak entry, if you're interested in visiting the car boot sale, it's just beside the old queensway movie theater, it's this weekend, 25th and 26th July, and next weekend, 1st and 2nd Aug, you can call me at 81118288 for more details. It's like a mini pasam malam where all our items for sale are placed in the car boots. I'm selling my plushies, some clothes and books, archie comics too, and other vendors are selling things like laptop covers, bags, clothes, handmade accessories, purses, DVDS, food and beverages. There are also games and prizes to be won! There's also a Wii machine which you can play for free, so do come support and enjoy yourselves. Drop me a line if you're interested, thanks! :D

Cheers!
