this week have been packed with studies and activities.... running here and there for lectures, to buy books, to collect lab manuals and lecture notes, to print notes, and meet people for meals... BUT university is not all about studying... I always ensure my life are full of other activities... see below:

1st day of school, no lessons... but I'm super busy...
9am, early in the morning, went to the Freshmen Welcome Day talk... and also meet some of my camp mates and sergeants... (frankly speaking I don't want to associate with them much, because of bad memories at camp)... i didn't expect it to be so formal... have to wear a gown, listen to a few speeches, pledge to the University Code of Honour, watched a few performances...
10.30am, talk ended... and signed up for the flag day on wed... suppose to meet wencai for lunch at 11.30, but wait until 12.30pm still haven come...

This day is NTU Students' Fund Flag Day! it's been ages since the last flag day I participate... I think that was in secondary 2...
met Anthony, Nick and Andrea on bus 199 and then lirong at boon lay mrt.. we headed to Tanjong Pagar.. on the way, we (especially lirong) took a lot of photos using Nick's phone! LOL! upon reaching there, we had lunch at the nearby hawker centre and then me and yixi began our "begging" nearby... it wasn't surprising that quite a number ask me the money go to where (after the NKF incident)... my answer was NTU student fund, endownment fund and community chest... and purposely avoid saying the fourth charity: NKF Children's Medical Fund... hehe...
at the end of 2.5 hours (2.30pm), yixi got more than 3/4 can, but I only got more than 1/4 can... guess I'm really not good in this business... then we took a break at International Plaza Burger King... after the break, we travelled to City Hall mrt (the wrong collection point), then to Raffles Place (the correct place)... Anthony, Andrea and me contiued to "beg for more", the rest went to "relax 1 corner"... this place wasn't as easy as tanjong pagar, especially when this is not the peak hours... so after some time, we also went to Clark Quay Mcdonald's to rest...
5.30pm, finally we can return the cans at the UOB plaza collection point... after that went to marina square Han's to have dinner... It's really difficult to consolidate order of 10+ people... headache! It 8pm plus when we finished dinner... at 1st want to watch movie, then decided to play pool, and end up playing arcade... as usual, i played Para Para! hehe...
reached back hostel near to 11pm... a really long day... damm tired... but slept at 1am...
