My life this semester, hmm...
short pants? slippers? and T-shirts in campus!?
It's a different one compared with previous semesters. For this semester, I dare say I pushed myself to the limit in my study time. Imagine staying up late at night till u lose track of time or hearing the azan prayers almost every single time. However, I'm glad that all those efforts paid off despite of those newly formed eyebags and slothy habits (which I am aware of).
Apart from that, I was involved in being one of the committee members in organizing our university's first ever chinese ball night event. Since it's the first, we weren't expecting much but it turned out well and I get to dress up for the first time in Malacca for an actual event (imagine how excited I was hehe).
test tube souvenirs anyone?
Although I was in charge during the reception and the souvenirs, I still had time to laze around with my coursemates during the event.
all dressed up for the night
One thing that I seem to can't get my mind off till now is the number of people telling me how good I look and whether I would mind taking photo with them. Not that I'm implying that I'm a variant of a "tom-cruise-edison-chen" hybrid, it's just that I don't (well... never actually) often get compliments like that and I really didn't know how to respond. It felt awkward like a total out-of-my-element kinda thing. However, I do apologize if my words were a little not well-suited for the occasion. Blame my years of deprived training.
Another highlight was the Poster and Product competition, where we were asked to present an idea of a product to 3 judges and being assessed. The objective was to cultivate students with the confidence in english speaking and presentation skills. For this one, I really have to give all the credits to the group members for their efforts and sacrifice despite of the exam week during the competition.
the gang
we got 1st prize!
Also, for the mid-autumn festivals or better known as the lantern festival, this year as a 2nd year senior, we were obligated to organize a mooncake festival to bond with the new juniors and the seniors as our seniors did last year.
The event was successfully organized. However, since it's the first time the committee members organized an event like this, grand hall or fancy dishes are out of the question, but still, it's the process that matters. This is the first time I guess seeing all the 2nd year seniors working together for an event (you don't see that very often here).
In the end, we all went for dinner at a local cafe restaurant a few nights ago which is also the last day of class to express gratitude to all committee members.
no money arh, how to go dutch?
Now we've gone into our 3 preparatory weeks for our finals till the end of october for my first subject. STATISTICS! ARgHhHHH..! It's been three days and I've been surfing and torrent-downloading Heroes season 2 and Prison Break season 3.
Feeling so guilty... more posts soon
