school has been so busy. full timetable, assignments, readings, catching up on chemistry, trying not to feel too lost during lectures and trying to stay awake... urgh happens like every lecture or sth. ok not every lecture. not the maths and more physics based one. those like chem, sustainable devt and stuff are like zzz. oops. haha. but it's like having computing all over again. understanding but not understanding and feeling totally lost and not being able to comprehend what i actually need to know and yah all that confusing stuff. and the worse is that it's not for one module. but for like 3? bleah.
homework isn't really piling up, just the stupid toy i have to make? it's really really damn irritating and i'm at a total lost of what to do for it now. i'm going to try again tmr. bleah. hope it works or else i will like ~!@#$^&*() got so much help, especially from jiapei. but it's still not working i'm so depressed about it ):
oh and we had to do this drawing assignment in which we had to make a sculpture of shapes and draw out the different views. i just randomly picked things off the shelf and drawers and placed them together. haha. damn cute.

ohhhhh sth super interesting. last friday, my hall's kitchen roof caught fire and erm we had to go to international hall (10mins away) for meals -.- and then on tuesday, while i was having lab, the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate. turned out an experiment produced smoke which set the alarm off -.- and the fire engines arrive whether or not there's a fire. as long as the alarm goes, the engine arrives. there was this hall with this guy bathing with the max temp hot water and he set off the alarm and the fire engines came. hahahaha.
monday a few of us went to watch a concert by the singapore symphony orchestra. we walked/ran there cos we were running late and we refused to take the tube. reached just in time. the concert was nice. the pianist was cool but too bad we couldn't see his fingers. after the concert we took a nice long stroll back, still refusing to take the tube. haha.
