yes, i just need a big bag to dump in every good i have. sponsor, anyone huh? chinese new year present? *enlarged eyes with a cynical smile*

not that i didn't try to work it out, but it seemed unfruitful to erase the fact of age gap between me and my coursemates. waifun and suyu says, don't mind it, you'll get along quite well with them after some time. haih... i really doubt that.

it might be due to the person i've developed into all this while when i left student life. before resuming back to norm, i've thrown myself into the real working life, seen lots of unforeseen circumstances beyond a student's point of view and being more independent. ok, not to say that i'm THAT independent, it's just that i'd relied less on others, and prefers to settle most of the things on my own.

seeing my coursemates is like looking at myself 5 years ago. everything you do, you always want a friend to accompany you. you do not want to take up responsibility over what you've done wrong, trying to give excuses to push the guilt away. you'll never had the guts to confront the authorities when you do not abide to something.

i still remember there's one time when my orientation officer (OO) is trying to somehow threaten me for not wanting to participate in the orientation. she was urging me join in, but i insist that i didn't want to at that time cause i have no transport. then she came out with a 'threatening' phrase saying that if i resist to go, i'll have to talk to the orientation president. that instant, without hesitation, i straight away fired her with an answer, "OK. No problem, I'll talk to him." another friend of mine who did not want to go as well was bewildered and my OO too was staring at me in dismay. then, my OO kept silence...

this was a matter of transition of mind level. i'm not declaring that i can now handle things maturely , it's just that i knew what i did was right and am not afraid to face the consequences over my actions. like it or not, i couldn't care less. well, that's not only me, my cousins were mostly like that too. must be in the genes, we were the i-won't-approach-you type. we were the ones who took the least initiatives to BE in the group unless being with our very close friends. we were the alienated ones. haha..

the whole orientation week puts me in a situation that i've never thought i would be. being the rather insignificant role in the team not only lessen my worries as to what is not being done yet, what costumes are not settled yet. in fact. i'd actually had more time on my studies and am more attentive in lectures, which is so not me. still remember in secondary school days, the defiant me and my gang were body-without-souls in class, discussing craps upon the subject. well, that WAS me. the WAS me.

growing am i or not? i'm not sure. but definitely a yes to mentality. there's a scale in me which evaluates whichever agenda should rank higher and which should take a lower one. like i said, i've paid thousands to gain knowledge here, not to fool around, thinking that i can sail through uni years as long as i pass my exams. NO! NO! ini bukan gua sekarang.

yet, i'm still in search for someone whom i can build lasting friendship with throughout my pharmacy years. after all, 4 years of highs and lows, you wouldn't want to deal with them all alone eh...?

clock is ticking,time to get back to practical report and maths tutorials.

god blessed that i can finally come home early today. haven't been taking a good nap since started uni. and indeed life in imu is rather fatiguing with so much orientation activities adding into it. to be honest, i don't really dislike orientation as much as i thought i would be. neither did i really enjoy it. preparations for orientation took away much of my precious resting and getting online time.




what i don't really enjoy is that we had to perform all sorts of peculiar acts and get ourselves humiliated, which is not something i can take. i admit! i am not the sporting type of person who likes to entertain others by sacrificing my own dignity. somehow, i still gave in after rounds and rounds of unceasing persuasions by the 'seniors'. (it's sounded bizzare to note them as seniors since i am elder.. :S). there were 6 days of orientation altogether, whereby all starts from 6 till 10pm. TIRING RITE!! and i still have to travel all the way back to damansara, another 1 hour journey.

from resisting participation, to participating for a day, then two, then three, and finally four days. the 'seniors' are really testing my tolerance loh...! memang 得寸进尺! i'd already agreeed to join in for a few days, and now you are pushing me to the corner some more. grrrrrr!!! anyway, i stayed firm with my decision, four days is the maximum toleration i can give. take it or leave it!



nevertheless, i enjoyed the first day (if not i wouldn't have agree to participate for the rest of the days) though we were spilled with garlic water, flour sprinkled over our heads, faces scribbled using chinese inks, running like mad all over the family park resulting terrible muscle aches. the males in my group are totally entertaining. it was freaking hilarious watching them doing all the 'difficult tasks' like strip and pole dance against a pine tree and things like that. IMU's orientation is truly one of a kind. i don't mind getting dirty, spraining ankles, getting bruises, but asking me to perform like an idiot on stage, NO WAY!

moreover, we had to complete our signature hunt everyday, every lunchtime, as long as there is a free session, we have to go seek for previous batches of students for their valued signatures. that's not all.... for some vexatious people, we had to complete the given tasks before we could get their signatures. not only that their tasks doesn't make sense, sometimes, we had to fork out some money to please them. eg, buy them a meal or a rose for their girlfriend or write them a love letter... -___- damn 无聊 rite!

i paid thousands to gain knowledge here, not to monkey-act ok? really anticipating an end to all these things and am looking forward to lab tomorrow. wakaka!!! i'd always loved lab sessions!!

one thing to compliment is that IMU's facilities are pleasing in a sense that it did successfully provide the students a very conducive environment to study in. you can have freeze-you-to-death multipurpose halls, fully computerised library, whereby borrowing of books were done manually using the scanner and you could print out a receipt notifying that the book has been borrowed and the due date. not forgetting to mention, lessons are 90% computerised too, students get to log into websites to get hold on lecture notes, tutorials, and exchanging opinions (cyber chat lah) in the computer labs. the conventional me find this way of studying a bit tedious, maybe i still don't get the hang of it for i always prefer paper work, not only by visualising the contents through the screen. i need to feel the book, i need to write on papers, not typing on computers, i need to meet and speak to my tutor, not just sending them offline message dearly hoping for an answer to my question. i am orang zaman kuno.

i know i shouldn't rant that much, but please spare me more time to get use to uni life. still a learner, i am....

have been travelling from south to north across the country these 2 weeks. bustled between shopping centres in singapore, yet, sad to say that the shopping mission failed to meet the set target this time. boo hoo hoo...

and i'm very lazy to inform thy all that ....

i'm FINALLY starting uni tomoro

blek...:S i'm really very reluctant to attend the orientation after gathering various 'handy' informations from different parties, both my acquaintances and cousin sisters. haihz...

crossing my fingers hoping that i won't need to embarrase myself by being involved in those 'magnificent' activities planned by our pharmacy seniors.

and still, NO (CHEAP) ROOMS FOR RENT!!!

HELP ME SUYU!!!
