|| RMIT rox my world! ||

According to my sis and friends, I'm quite aware that they have to ballot for their lessons in NUS/NTU(I dunno abt SMU)...students of UOL also gotta do that! And, I sure thank god that RMIT fixed our lecture slots, so we dont have to ballot! Clearly, not needing to ballot is an advantage because, firstly, we can bond with our friends A LOT MORE because we see each other in every other lesson, almost everyday! Unlike my friends who gotta ballot for their lessons, though they have friends all over the place, but I'm sure they arent as close as me and my bunch of girls! Secondly, I dont have to worry that I'll experience technical problems when logging into the system and cant ballot before the deadline/time because of the huge no. of students logging into the system at the same time(and some ppl dont log out, causing others being unable to log in)...So I'm really truly glad that I dont have to waste time doing all these!

Anyway, had Human Communication(HC) and Econs today. Today is the 1st day that the local lecturer is taking over for these 2 modules..At 1st, I was quite skeptical about it as I feared that the local lecturers will not be comparable to the lecturers in Melbourne..However, I was definitely proven wrong today!!RMIT has very very very very good local lecturers!! In fact, I feel so much more comfortable with the local lecturers because they understand the local students much better..there is no cultural gap. Hahahaha~ Anyway, these lecturers are a really cool bunch of ppl! Image that I kinda look forward to the next HC and Econs lecture! These lecturers arent like the typical kinda JC lecturers who starts the lecturer in a stern and serious manner and does conducts boring & lame(Mrs Tong..only PJ ppl will know!! haha) lectures..The lecturer that impressed upon me the most so far was the Indian Econs lecturer..He made econs such a enjoyable subject! Yes!!!! you didnt read wrongly..!! Econs IS ENJOYABLE! He is damn lame and corny, but of course, at the same time drilling important concepts into us...Actually, I didnt realise it till we did the MCQ together. I thought that I thoroughly understood the foreign lecturer's ideas about GDP, but when i started on the qns, I had my difficulties doing them! However, when it came to the topic that the local lecturer taught, it was pretty clear who did a better job! =) RMIT Rox my world!!

When I talk to my friends who are in NTU and NUS, they expressed that uni life is quite stressful..and that the lecturers are not very good..Hmmm, I wonder what will it be like if I made it in there..Maybe I wouldnt be enjoying my uni life as much! But now that I'm in RMIT, my uni life has really been much much much better than I expected. Though a lot of ppl think that its not a prestigious/ desirable school, but it doesnt matter to me anymore because I am enjoying my uni life and I LOVE it here! Its probably the nice and funny lecturers, my lovable friends, the friendly course mates and maybe there will be many more reasons to why I feel good being in RMIT..No matter what, I feel really happy that I've made the choice to come here..Definitely no regrets!

P/S: Kor, I am not promoting okay! =P

|| My new HaircUt! ||

I eventually didnt go and highlight my hair coz I think I would rather spend the money on clothes and other stuff..Haha, so I really went shopping for clothes yesterday. Bought a brown Mango Tee. The price tag says $25 but I dunno why the cashier charged me only $19..Oh well, what can I do if she wana give me a discount? =P Anyway, I wanted to buy a necklace to match my tank top that I bought on Friday, but in the end decided against it because I think I'm spending way too much this week..aNd my baby's so sweet! Coz he went back there to get me the necklace! So sweet right?

Later I better get started on my business computing and Marketing! Damn, i Hate business computing! Oh ya, anyway, I wana add that the BC lecturer is not a Aussie but is actually a Chinese from another country (I shall not disclose the country though, in case some readers might think that I am making fun of that country)..thus his weird, not understandable accent..

Yesterday took a couple of shots..take a look:

|| buYing cLothes agaIn!! ||

Went Orchard after sch yest...was very tired when i got home! However, the outing was fun though~ Both Amanda and I accompanied Lihui to hunt for her boyfriend's b'day present. After much comtemplation, she finally settled on a Ripcurl tee. In the shop, 3 of us was also shopping for ourselves but didnt get anything though..SAVE MONEY!! But girls being girls, finally we couldnt resist the temptation..haha so we finally bought some tank tops after shopping around in Takashimaya. We walked on to Mango and we were almost tempted to get something again...but thinking about our account balance, we decided against it.

Before shopping, we went to eat. And ppl, Beard Papa ia a MUST TRY!!!!!!! Really really good! But very sinful too! Loads of custard inside..so once in a while is really OKAY~ Go try it man!

2day we decided to skip Business Computing(BC) coz its a complete waste of time. Not that we wana be bad students, but its just that his accent is way too weird for me to interpret and understand. For example, he pronounces "example" as "e-ga-xample" oh my god! How am i going to even understand more profound words?! Lucky he is going back to Melbourne today to fail more of his students..haha i am not kidding ok..he showed us the statistics of his students' grades..and guess what! 144 of his students FAIL the course ok..not 10, not 20 but over 100 of them! So anyway, a local lecturer is going to take over. Hope that he is MUCH MUCH better than this lecturer..

Just went to cut my hair SHORT! Actually it came out not exactly how i wanted it to be..coz i thought that it was kinda thick. After meeting terence, he also thought a like! So i went back to the hair salon to have them to layer it..Hmmm this time..I'm kinda satisfied! Maybe i'll go highlight my hair tomorrow~ hee..See how first..

Hmm...I'm really enjoying sch more than i expected..Frm the start, I was really skeptical abt life in uni..till now! Thru the 1st week, my clique has definitely bonded quite a bit! There's both Lihui and Amanda frm TPJC(yuP thats like Tampines n its darn far), Siti frm SRJC( also like damn far), Christina and Jessie. Though both of the latter are much older than us(still dunno their ages--women's age is a secret!)..but we can still click very well...

1st week is definitely the most hectic week of our semester..coz we even have to be in sch today for the whole day..and its a SATURDAY, mind u! But anyway, still had fun in sch. Went to Holland V for lunch since the accounting lecturer let us off almost 1½ hrs earlier! Aint that cool..just had Burger King and headed back for Econs!

After a whole day of studying, I'm like maxed out..haha! Better go rest soon~

|| sTart of UnIversity Life! ||

Well well, uni life has been better than expected! Better study content, sch's much nearer to my hse and of coz my pals make my day! Haha...Well, I must say that tertiary education sure is better than any of those education that we were going through for more than 10 yrs of our life! This is definitely much more interesting! My marketing lecturer flew all the way frm Melbourne just to teach us k..He's very humorous..so lecture is not a bore at all..Plus, to depict some marketing principles clearly, he showed us 7mins of The Simpsons (edited of coz)...Life has nv been better! Imagine watching cartoons in the middle of ur lecture?! So cool! Aussies have a different way of pronouncing their words..like "data" is pronounced as "da-da" ...well its sort of funny..but in a nice way of course (I nv had the intention to make fun, so don't get the wrong idea ya..)

For a long time, wanted to join floorball..But after much consideration, I better not..haha..Coz trainings are very time consuming, and after that, I'll be drained of all my energies and i dont think i still have the energy to stay up and read the text or do some research for any of my module's project..~ Moreover, it also means i'll have lesser time for my baby! So, i guess i'll just put that idea aside..

Starting on Accounting module 2ml!! Yay..my fav! Hope i'll like it as much as marketing..
