deadly happening

week 4 of semester, and i think i'm slightly behind in term of assignment progression.

a sudden weird cry in the middle of law lecture, and everyone looked over to see a girl who looked to the ceiling and appeared to have fit. the lecturer phoned the emergency hotline, while he related instructions from a medic on the phone. some rushed over to help her, as she had no pulse and cough blood. minutes later, a medic arrived and the lecture is announced cancelled.

i walked out of the hall, bought a coffee (love it), moved to the library to post on the course's discussion board to ask will there be a make up lecture or should i crash another lecture. and the reply is fast, really fast.

don't ask me if she's dead, because i won't know.

-----

now, let's talk about funny stuff.


the way chelsea arranged the tomato is lol... "number off!"

there's a discount for the pods and other chocolates.


and of course, the choco monster won't be still.

i'm sure she hid the rest elsewhere. lol.


your chef~ and i shall post my room's pic. (i just keep forgetting about it.)

foreigner

i think many of you know that i don't exactly consider myself as being 'singaporean', mainly deal to the denial i received in early days in singapore. i very much label myself as being HK who carries a singaporean passport.

being a foreigner in australia, people often ask where am i from, and i find it hard to answer.

i was grouped with 3 girls from hong kong in a tutorial group to work on a workshop for later week. and i can tell they regard me as a 'singaporean', even though we speak cantonese in discussing etc. the feeling of being 'rejected' by 'country man' is...... i don't know how should i describe it. sour?

-----

just read an article from goal.com

"A lot of Koreans asked me, how can you root for America when you are obviously Korean? I don't think they understand. I am an American citizen. If I played soccer or any Olympic sport, I would be representing America, not Korea. I learned firsthand how hard it must be for the men's national team to play on foreign soil and what joy opposing fans get when America loses. When we win, it makes it that much sweeter to rob them off that."

funny and shit

lets start with the funny stuff for this week.

wl had a box of m&m, and i told her that i don't like the blue because of the dye.
so after 1 week.
i received this


she ate all the rest and gave me the blue. lol.
-----

getting colder here recently, but it's not THAT cold.
and my dear housemate is wearing this while cooking.

-----

just now she knocked on my door to tell me there's lizard in her room. i failed to catch it, and she got quite agitated by it.
msn:
Chels ㋡ Chocoholic says (9:22 PM):
I HATE FUCKIN HATE TT LIzARD

i don't need to paste more. lol...
-----

wl was showing off her stolen goods from school. a big roll of toilet paper, a really big one. well, i think thats a small thing for her, since she took utensils from SIA, sauce, sugar, pepper from everywhere. so i told her, my housemates told me that they can steal A4 paper from school printers. "just take~"
when i went back, chelsea also showed off her roll of toilet paper loot. lol. wtf is wrong with these people, or is it something wrong with me?

in msn,
wl: no wonder the roll from (i can't rmb where) is gone, think she took it before me.
chelsea: no, i took it from elsewhere ( i can't rmb where)

chelsea: hey, tips for you max, take from handicap washroom. you can take your time and not scare being spotted.
-----

and today during business law tutorial (tutorial 2)...
vivian zhang (tutor) walked over to chris (sat beside me) to see his tut work, then it was my turn.
vivian: "hey, max.. where's yours?"
me: "you remembered my name already." ('max' is not on the paper)
vivian: "because my son's name is max."
me: -.-"
chris: lol
after she walked away...
me: i thought i made an impression.
chris: lol

as we discussed the tut, she mentioned about a jury can't have law background etc... and it's in a way more fair rather than having the judge to make the decision etc...
so i asked, "doesn't this in a way contradicts with chapter one we learnt last week regarding the relationship between law, ethic and justice. a jury doesn't have knowledge on this field (which is what make that person a jury), but he's making a decision on a case. since he's a commoner without law background, he'll judge the case by ethic and justice, not law. and this is being held in a court. ironic."
she looked like she had been hitted by elune's arrow, tried to speak but nothing came out. then just smiled at me.

me: now i made an impression.
chris: lol

(i think she's a single mum. not by instinct but observation, and chris agreed. lol)
=====

now is the shit part!

my psp memory stick is corrupted. format it and bye bye to all saved files and games.

and~

the washroom light is spoilt just when i wanna bathe.
i just did it with help from a little torch.

definition after definition

DEFINITION IS OVERRATED!

i was studying "business research methods", and there're many definitions to remember. and every definition is linked to the next.

you must define theory, before you can define concept, before you can define propositions, before you can define hypothesis, before you can define empirical testing. and it goes on...............

and then i've reached a point whereby i kinda 暴走!
"empirical testing: examining a research hypothesis against reality using data."

i can understand whats "hypothesis" by reading the hypothesis's definition, but what's "reality"? there's no definition in the book. (i know it sounds lame, but you can't just give your own understanding of something as definition. at least i'm not qualified to do so.)

~then i find the following at a corner on the same page.

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. ----Albert Einstein"
the moment i read that, i feel like throwing the textbook at those crows "singing" outside my window.

(can you imagine, while you get ignited by the above statement from Einstein, followed by hearing "the crow sound")

A night at the Emirates

It's on the "must-do-list" before you die for all gooners.

schoolwork

every course has something to do and read every week.
but it's so much more relevant and interesting than poly.
e.g. i'm taking business law in current sem which i did it before in poly.
poly: memorise and reproduce things in exam that kinda forcing to make sense (maybe it's the lecturer).
uni: read and understand the concept, and show it during exam. (open book...)
i almost failed this in poly, simply can't remember word for word when the reasoning doesn't really link in my mind. and the lecturer in uni is more productive and organised, professors or doctors afterall. they can deliver knowledge and concept well, to me at least.

every night, do my bed time reading of textbook. in a way, i'm enjoying it. not too much work but still keep you working. and they're fairly interesting.
but i think life will be so much more stressful as weeks go by.

good old time~ (click to enlarge)

entering 2nd week

yes, the same shit line: enrolment prob is not solved. =)

entering the 2nd week of school, and i've a textbook on my laps, waiting to be digested. not bad, i find things being alot more relevant than poly days. like i always say, i don't feel i learnt much from poly lecture notes, and of course those lecturers. ~_~

today's dinner, chicken wing by juemin (prepared the night before), and follow by tea prepared by chelsea after meal.
I AM THE LEECH KING!

small world

i think i gonna start each post with "enrollment", and it's still not solved! roarrrr!!

anyway, regarding my last post:
someone commented, "there's a girl cooking for you at home and you 偷吃 at another girl's home." (literally lol)

anyway today is another rainy day, 4 days straight.
morning: lecture
afternoon: go city with wl
night: met a friend

after return home from city, i bathe and sleep (6pm+). tired -_-"
i heard juemin and chelsea came back from toowong, but i didn't bother and collapsed on my bed. i think it's 8pm, i walked down the stairs to search for food.

i saw someone was vacuum cleaning a car in garage who certainly not my housemate.
1st thought: who the fuck is this guy invading my garage (gonna grab weapon)
2nd thought: heard my housemates' voice in living room (so that guy must be someone they know)

take a closer look, and wtf, it's ng xun! LOL...
someone i know back in poly days, he was the president of ngee ann poly's chess club. what a small world, he was juemin's housemate. he was shocked to see me in the house too. had a chat with him, know another school mate now.

and they cooked dinner for me, with soup! =)
and the washing machine is having pms.. -_-

gonna study~

anyway, gonna study after the laundry is done

taken in officework (p.s. a msg to constance~)

kind people

i planned to post about my enrollment problem, but well it's still not solved yet.
just to keep my blog healthy, so gonna update about life here.

it had been raining for 3 days and nights. for once, i didn't on the fan to sleep last night.

on my timetable, there's only 1 tutorial today which starts next week, so i slept till god know when. woke up by wl's sms, so gonna meet her in school and accompany her to buy her books.

went to her place and had instant rice later in the night.
at 6pm+, i got a sms from chelsea (my house mate).
chels: "are you comin back for dinner?"
me: "nope... r u eating alone?"

sometime later,
chels: "i cooked ur share. u can eat for lunch tmr k?"

instinctively, all sort of doubtful thoughts flash through mind.
"what advantage will she gain from such move, what will her next move be, what will she predict me to do, is it true, simply cook too much, what will she loss....... etc..."
well, i guess i'm nurtured this way. can't be helped after experiencing all sort of nasty stuffs when i was younger, especially when i just migrated to singapore.

but deep down, i know she did that out of good will.
now look back at it, i feel guilty that i had all the above instinctive thoughts.

as i got back, checked the fridge and found this~

thank you =)
