aching all over
hmm..cant believe we walked so much ytd in the uni campus. Cos i actualli lost my way while findin the shortest route to SCh of biological sciences frm student services centre. in the end, i had to walk 1 big rd along the road boundary so as not to get lost agian. tt took me ard 40min. =X n i made xy waited for me for almost an hr, so paiseh...come to think of it, how come the bus in ntu onli go 1 way? if the buses travel in 2 directions, then i don have to walk so much rite? damn it. n me n xy actualli walked so much, bk to student centre again frm the ny audi to take her new student concession card (n climbed tt stupid stairs which we call it the 万里长城) onli to find it closed.
opening hrs: 8am to 5.45 pm Mon-Thur
8am to 5.15pm Fri
sorry, i forgot if it opens on wkends.

in the end, we've got nth done. so we walked a long way to the erm...furtherst bus stop which our legs can take us so as to save some cents. according to us, its our Budget Plan 06 tt we r taking action becos we r so-called "financially invested". so as days pass as we train our legs, we will eventually be able to walk past the bus stops n reach Boonlay Mrt station without spending any bus fare. haha wat wishful thinking. lolx.

Ytd's events were pretty boring yet useful in some sense. In the morning we attended HSS talk in LKC theatre n listen to dean's n vice dean's speeches. Quite inspiring, but it makes me more anxious abt uni life. I like the way the Psychology prof welcome us, as he stated wat we must be feelin rite now, n i guess everthing he said hit the bull's eye. bingo. well at least for me its all correct, shan't elaborate. n all went on abt library usage, HSS club, n the counselling centre. well, i guess i will be the regular customer over there. =X

realli. felt a bit lonely at 1st, cos ping made quite alot of frens during her orientation camp n hall camp. n i onli saw some familiar faces frm my ny class, primary schs... met Melissa but she's takin English(aiya, why exactly opposite??) but no one same as me--Chinese. got la, met Lynn, Entia, Angeline n Simin..but they all v close ma, though taking chinese tgth but we don realli clique...so i felt quite lonely. then when i reached the seats behind at the theatre, i saw my pugi seniors. I recognised Yujie at once, cos i saw him b4 during Pugi handover. But tt guy beside him..hmm who's he? i wondered. Ok, i noe, cos he looks abit like Eva( pugi 28th president, who's a gal)...so i noe its Qiaoming. Haha, how aliKE they can be! Nope, they r not siblings, but i din believe it when ahMack told me they look alike, especially now Qiaoming changed his hairstyle. haha. realli funni when he himself told me tt he tot he look like Eva too, n he even told Eva tt they 2 look alike( she was stunned of coz, cos nobody would want to admit tt kind of thing)

haha, they are funny guys, who're looking like they r cool on the front, n they just don look like they r those who take chinese. but its realli realli weird tt i stuck with them thruout the whole HSS orientation cos they r guys n i'm the onli gal. n they found their frens who're readin chinese too. I'm just like a pathetic child among them. haiz. so when they cliqued, n they stil have conscience as not to bang seh me, which i tot it was abit difficult on them....so i was like: "Nvm la, go ahead n join them..i'll be ok." luckily i met ping n her fren on my way to the lunch recep... n made frens wif her og mate Alicia frm AJ. but, they r frm socio n i'm still frm chinese, its a fact i cant change. so in the end i din make any new frens frm Chinese. hmm guess i'll have to wait til tis sunday for the chinese orientation.

well in the aftnoon there were so many ppl ponning the freshman ceremony. i actualli wanted to pon too, but xy was alrd on her way to sch so i guess i would meet her. She was meeting her AJ frens too(who got str 4 As, so i was quite stressed), then we headed for ny audi. i was Bingoly correct when i told ping n alicia previously tt maybe we have to take an oath in the ceremony, n yes, we had to take an honor pledge to officially become their student. haha, cos when we entered we saw the seats have things on top. Apart frm the goodie bag which i doubt anyone would use it as a bag, there was sth else which look like a plain navy blue table cloth. Erm so wat was tt? we tot. it was sth like a cloak in Harry Potter's world which wizards usually wear. n yup, we had to wear tt thing to take the plege, i nv tot tt the ceremony could be so serious. so the deans gave speeches, n Gim Yan( frm Anderson) went up to the stge to receive sth made by one of the prof. cos she did v well in the physics olympiad. She is a genius. n then performances by the Modern Jazz n choir which made me wanna slp...haha erm they r not bad but its just tt i was too tired n the seats were so comfy tt made me wanna slp.

i think tt's all for today ba...cos there will be more to talk abt for tml's chinese orientation..kz, headin to xy's house to disturb her. haha.
