O.O

Guess what?

I finally decided it was time for another post on this old(ancient even) blog of mine, to remove the metaphorical dust accumulated on its binary layout, to deliver it from the shackles of inactivity, to enable it to soar to greater heights, to...well you get the picture.

SO, school started, like 4 days ago. During my hiatus from education, a lot had been going on. No no, its not all Mapling and rotting and more Mapling. I was working as a service personnel at an established food outlet. Sure the pay's standard, the working hours long, the job tough at times, but hey, its the experience that counts. Besides, if you enjoy your work, you would never have to work a day. So for the past one month plus or so, I had been servicing customers, taking orders, serving food among other things. If there was a module on this it would be called "Service in the F&B Industry 101", and it would be the greatest nightmare for all those taking it. Brrr....

Alright, moving on. Year Two began on a high note, or rather, a Japanese note, as first day of school was equals to my first IS (Interdisciplinary Studies) module - Basic Conversational Japanese. Pretty cool huh? What makes it even cooler is that Felix also enrolled in my class, so that makes us classmates for 7 weeks. Which Felix, you ask. You know that Mapler, also from NP, whose name always get associated with an animated cat? Yeah thats the Felix we're talking about. No offense big guy!

So anyway, our tutor was this young Japanese lady, going by the name Yoko. Well give me a lady over a guy any day, as I feel that ladies have more patience than guys, with some exceptions of course.

Okay, so that's first day of school. Subsequent days were the usual, boring lectures, ice-breaking tutorials, blah blah blah. We got spilt into different classes this semester. Yeah, it ain't a big deal for you people, but it is for me. I took nearly a whole semester to meld with my class. Well pardon me, I'm not as vocal and outspoken as some of you are. I'm rather shy and would rather melt into the background than appear in Orchard Road wearing nothing other than christmas lights.

Its 8:27 P.M, according to NP time, which means nothing much now, and the keyword is NOW. As the weeks progress, 8:27 may be the time when I'm rushing a report, or having some online discussion for a major project, or pretty much just skimming the surface of death. Well, maybe that's too exaggerating, but all of us almost died when we were thrown that Integrated Project in our Year One, Semester One. We will survive Year Two.

I will be working part-time even when school has started, just to earn some pocket money and gain some working experience. I don't know whether this will affect my educational life adversely, but with proper time management I think I should be able to pull this off. Well, we shall see.

OKAY, I'm through with this post. See you all next time~!
