the new uni kid

so my first week at ntu.

damned, it was HELLISH. really, couldnt find any words to describe my first week here. FREAKING STRESS OUT man, and i was soooo waiting for the wkends so that i can acually have a breather. Study2 till late at night; and this is the fun part: it was only the FIRST week. FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first week and im studying like the exams are around the corner.

Mon: first day in sch. came late.8.45 instead of 8.30. sat down. lecturer came in. 'hello, im professor so and so, my number is so and so, and my email is so and so. No qns? OK :), now lemme start on Functions.' WHAT THE FUCK !! ok lah, i might exxagerate a lil bit, but it's somewhere near the truth. My GOD! i was expecting sth like a lil intro, ice-breaker thingy. but this???? its like you're having sex and immediately experienced premature ejaculation. ARGH! and that's not all, it was exactly the same for the subsequent 4 lectures! i didnt expect this at ALL man!!!! cmon lah, first day, for goodness sake! whether im in poly or sec, where got time to study on the first day, man? but its soo0o diff now..arghh. lucky got the chance to send her (:p) home, at least stress is reduced to 40%. :) another 10% reduced when read up lil bit of what we've covered for the day. another 50% i brought it with me to sleep til i had nightmares. shucks.

Tues: morning lecture.stress as per normal. during break, met up with my army mates at camp :) . then go back to hell. now, its lab, and im late for 5 mins. as usual, i was expecting to be introduced to the lab equipments and apparatus and all, BUT, it was just an expectation. when i arrived, the technician was already explaining formulas and stuffs and then we proceeded to the experiment. WHAT THE FUCK man! i was so stressed out that ive forgotten to eat for the entire day! but ended the day on a lighter note, went to meet her just to collect the soup she cooked for me :) :) :) . the soup act as a booster for me to study till 1am .hahaa

Wed: nothing unusual happened today. still same old stressful lectures. but damed happy that we can go home at 1.30. accompanied kheleev to collect his IC, and went home at 9. Thats one of the most regretful thing ive done, coz i planned to study.Then rushed home not to watch TV, but to study. too tired to send her home, just sent her a couple of sms b4 studying. Slept at 1am after studying. if you could study in your sleep, i would certainly have done it.

THU: worst day of the week. thursdays is like mega-bombing the brain with facts that, how i wished a durian that dropped on isaac newton's head, not an apple. lectures till 5.30, u know! its ppl like him that created those formulas that make ppl generations after him suffers. went home so freaking shag, but still, have to study.

FRI: thought that things couldnt get any worse but then got news that we have to take FOUR instead of TWO electives. Power ah, im soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freaking happy to be in uni. then my friends want (and encouraged me) to take the german language as our electives. Great, just add a couple of hairs in between my nostrils and the upper lips and you'll get the malay version of adolf hitler.

ARGH. in summary, my first week in NTU is living hell. seniors advised us to read up everyday; cant study at the last min (which most of us did in poly to great perfection),do tutorials even b4 the tutorial start, etc etc. if not, you fail, he put in bluntly. ive nv heard any better motivation than his inspiring words.

And now, i can foresee my life during the 3 years. It would be bleak, certainly, no soccer, no outings, no girls (argh! that was my original plan, man!) , no nothing.

Except studying.

Everyday.
