a freshie's diary.
UWA's semester 1 begins.
yupps.
my first uni lecture?
CALCULUS B.
at 8am!
haha. yea.
my calc lecturer, Dr Kathleen, spent abt 20 mins on intro..
then she went straight into teaching!
i was like OMG!
haha. but i survived anw. =))
after my calc, i gotta rush to the Octagon Theatre..
for my Human Biology I lecture at 9am!
thankfully, it's just introduction for this one.
met up with Chris after that.
lol. i cldn't find him in Octagon..
coz it's just soo big..
but i found Navreen..
so i sat with Navreen instead. =)
Chris was like "where to go for Asian Business, you know?"
haha. i was like HUH?
coz i dun take that unit.
so we rushed to the library to try get a computer..
only to find it soo crowded.
it then suddenly came to my mind..
that i have access at MCL!
oh oh..
i also have access to ANHB's, Commerce's..
and of cos, the Library's PCs.
hehe. yea.
that's one of the advantages of taking a double degree.
u'll have access to PCs of different schools. =p
i digressed.
yeh. so we were at MCL.
oh, i met Sharon there btw.
yeh. we were trying to get into OLCR..
to check the venues..
and we have problems with it!
these systems also choose the right time to play with u eh?
and then. ha!
i suddenly remembered..
Thames is doing Asian Business as well!!
haha. and so i texted Thames..
found out it's at Murdoch LT..
and sent Chris on his way.
oh, Chris was like 2o mins late?
lol.
if only i have a better memory.
anyhow.. the guys called me after their lecture..
& we met up for lunch.
i reckon itx pretty cool..
yeh. heheh.
it's just takes a phone call..
"hey, u in uni? free now? meet up?"
and ha! we'll be somewhere in the uni crapping.
haha.
after lunch..
i had Chem. with Chris.
itx soo good to know someone taking the same unit.
btw.. Chem was really cool.
the lecturer written on the board H2O
and asked the class wat was that.
naturally, most of us said water.
and he was like "ha! it's chalk!"
LOL!!
and he goes on to explain it's just a formula..
and blah blah blah.
[im lazy to type]
and then.. our Chem lecturer gave some demo!
it was hell cool, i tell u.
he got 3 balloons.
and he burst it with fire.
the 1st contains Helium.
so it was just a loud bang!
the 2nd contain Hydrogen..
and he was kind enough to tell us to cover our ears.
coz it was basically an explosion.
beside the LOUD BANG,
there was a ball of fire!
yeh.. and we were in a Lecture Theatre!
lol.
the 3rd..
contains Hydrogen + Oxygen!
lol.
this practically blows me away!
literally!
seriously, if u were there,
u cld feel the impact!
i reckon the balloons WOWed everyone.
yeh.
it's funny how i hated yr 12 chem..
and i actually thought Chem was the best lecture so far
hopefully.. my enthusiasm for chem is here to stay.
i want to do well for uni. =)
after that, i have another hour of break..
which i spent just catching up with Chris.
then i went to Maths Lab..
where i completed my 1st uni assignment.
i got 4 out of 4 btw.
LOL!
but that was really easy stuff.
yeh. anyone can do it. =)
just when i was abt to go home..
Thames called me and asked for help.
haha. it's Raymond's timetable again.
Raymond is like so relaxed..
while Thames & me are so worried.
and it's not even our timetable!
lol.
we took the bus to the busport after that.
and we went on our way home.
the 3 of us took 3 different buses home. yeh.
oh. i met Shirley while waiting for the bus.
Shirley was my host grp leader.
and she's really cute.
haha. she's just so happy & enthusiatic.
yeh. so we talked all the way back.
there u go.
that was pretty much my first day.
yeh. it was pretty alright.
except that it was soo hot today!
hopefully tmr will be cooler.
but the forecast doesn't look encouraging.
ahh! i dun like the heat!
and im tired.
btw.. im going to have 8am classes on 4 day now.
not 3 days. =(
my sleeping ins!!!

and my first ever Uni lecture is @ 8am!
and it gotta be CALCULUS!
hopefully, my brain can do Math that early!
LOL!
am trying to relax as much as possible this weekend.
apparently, ytd wasn't really effective.
because.. im still tired!
haha. i guess i have to force myself to sleep earlier today. =]
it's really funny..
how i already know the answer to a question..
but i ask anyway.
oh wells..

MY Weird Facts:
1. one of my shoulder is higher than the other. =(
2. i used to be afraid of heights. but i enjoy windows seats when flying.
3. i have no problems eating bananas but i hate banana cakes.
4. i can often tell others wat they shld do but i can't tell myself wat to do.
5. im actually doing this quiz!
i tagged:
Po Lun, HuiTing, AaiLynn, Khalisha, JiWeng & Sherissa
UWA has O Day today.
well, the scene was pretty lively..
heaps of people out & about
yupps, they were all so enthusiatic.
i was on time for the commencement talk.
but Thames was a lil late because he missed the bus.
yea, so when he arrived in school, he called me.
right, it was so embarassing!
when my phone rang, everyone looked at me.
and worst of all, it ranged TWICE.
the 1st time, Thames asked abt the venue.
the 2nd time, Thames asked for directions.
haha. yea. i nearly ran to hide. =p
after the talk, Thames & me went to help
Raymond a.k.a. Dai Lou
to do his timetable.
Raymond flew in late and missed orientation/enrolment.
yea, so he pretty much have no idea as to wat's going on.
haha. but that's wat makes Raymond Raymond. =X
i have finally come to terms with my timetable.
after meeting people like Navreen..
who is doing a Law/Health Science double degree
which is 6.5 years long!!!
and Raymond..
who is taking up Physics & Engineering units..
and has more classes than me!
and he's just doing a single degree. =/
yea, so i reckon im not that bad.
i just have to try to cope..
and survive the 4.5 [or 5.5] years.
i can't believe Uni officially starts next week!
it's back to lectures, tutorials & labs!
a hectic life!
hope to update soon. =))
When You Get To The End Of The Rope..
Tie A Knot & Hang On!

sad. sad. sad.
had enrolment today in uni today.
damn! the queue is SUPER long.
i reached school at abt 8.50 am.
by the time i finished enrolment, it's nearly 2pm!
there are basically 5 steps.
Step 1: choose ur units.
i have to wait to see the course advisor for my Science degree.
then, the one for my Commerce Degree.
geez! that took me like nearly 2 hours.
and i have to take like CALCULUS in Sem1
& STATISTICS in Sem 2.
just because i did Applicable Math last year.
i have to do BIOLOGICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY in Sem 1
& MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF CELL in Sem 2.
to keep my majors option open.
all in all, i'll be doing 6 Science units & 2 Commerce units.
i'll be expecting more next year. =(
[why did i choose double degree?]
Step 2: take photo.
this is the beginning of a nightmare.
haha. the queue is even longer!
Step 3: check enrolment forms.
ur still be in the same queue so...
yea, it's still freaking long.
Step 4: lodge enrolment forms.
there are quite a lot of operators.
but they have to type in alot of information..
so we gotta wait for pretty long.
besides, it's the damn long queue.
Step 5: collect enrolment statement & Student card
okie. that was the end of everything.
i reckon most of us was like "thank gawd we're out!"
i think it took me 3 hours to get through the queue..
and out the building!
and i have to go through alot of trouble to
correct a mistake the system make.
=(
in between of that fuss,
Thames & me went to have lunch.
since i have to wait..
and we're both hungry. haha.
then Amanda arrived in school. LOST.
lol. she seriously need to carry a campus map.
we went to do Amanda's enrolment..
and to correct the mistake on my enrolment
after making our way to the OSHC room.
haha. the funny thing was..
none of the 3 of us managed to get our OSHC card.
Thames's card has not arrived.
Amanda didn't bring her visa.
I'm still waiting for my new visa.
lol.
after the enrolment..
we went to the library to try plan our preference for time table.
it was abt 4.30pm by the time we reached the library.
the dateline for the 1st allocation was 5pm. =/
just as i was panicking..
trying to get all the units from both degrees right..
an annoucement came over the PA System.
"the library is closing... "
so i had to go home to finish the planning.
but then it was already 5pm..
so i was quite hopeless already.
[why did i take double degree?]
anw, the 3 of us went to NorthBridge for dinner.
it was good i guess.
yupps, it's relaxing..
just talking and having fun. =)
and by the time i got home.. it's like 8.30pm?
which meant i spent more than 12 hours out!
what a day eh?
okie.. so i tried doing my timetable.
true enough, for my ECONS unit,
i'm under the 2nd allocation run.
but for the rest, i made it for the 1st allocation.
which is good.
ok, watever. dat's not the point.
the point is my timetable!!
i have like 17 classes a week.
some of them 3 hours long.
and on some days, i have 4 classes straight!
i have to arrange classes starting at 8am on 3 days..
or else my time table will clash like nobody's business.
[why did i take double degree?]
to give u an idea how sad i am..
im giving u the Thursday timetable i've planned.
8am. CALCULUS lecture.
9am. HUMAN BIOLOGY lecture.
10am. CHEM pre-lab.
11am. ECONS lecture.
2pm. CHEM lab.
btw, the CHEM lab session is 3 hours long.
all i can say is im so dead.
[why did i take double degree?]
oh wells.
i'll cope.
i hope.
im soo terrified of uni now. =(

and Chris was at the Busport by lunch!
hehe. okie, im finding excuses. =p
anyhow, we went to the city
and tried getting Thames's phone & bank services running.
yea, they need some organising since he haven't touched them since he went back to Thailand.
anw, the Bankwest outlet in the city is awesome!
it has this antique feeling & is really well furnished!
haha, reckons Amanda & me totally love it.
so after that, we decided to get some ice cream
coz it was just so hot.

a tough decision. made easier?
it's back to school for kids all over WA today.
and in Singapore, for that matter.
ha! students in SG are returning back to school from their Chinese New Year break while for students in WA, it's the end for their summer holidays. =)
and lil dj is still having his holidays! *gRiNz*
LOL! yea, i still have about 3 weeks before Uni starts. =p
did quite a bit of catching up with SG friends over the weekend.
and boy! there're so many things happening.
for example. Mr Chong is going to be a daddy soon!
i must be like the last to know..
his wife is like 9 months pregnant, i heard.
geez. and no one told me!
guess u have to catch up with the 'right' people!
hehe!
i reckon i can finish clocking all my hours by this week.
all i need now is my dear glasses and i can go for my HPT!
can't wait, really.
i juz hope the guys at OPSM will hurry up!
living w/o glasses is really inconvenient for me.
makes me consider doing LASIK!
oh wells, when im older perhaps.
next week shld be pretty good.
Jasmain is coming back to Perth..
with my JAY CHOU cd!
heh, finally! after months of waiting.
and if i pass my HPT,
and if the road trip is taking place,
then it shld be sometime next week too.
coz Nic starts Uni on the 14th.
hmm. yupps.
next week does seem pretty good!
i'll update soon! =p
im in a dilemma.
but u seem to be making it easier for me.
and i HATE it.
coz dat wld mean losing u..
