A Trip To NUS...

[NUS] organised a talk for the ppl who are interested to matriculate early and to enrol for the special term starting in [May] or [Jun]... It's held in [LT27] and after consulting the map, I realised tt it's in the [Faculty Of Science]... Since I do know tt it's not near the [NUS Biz School] - and hence neither is it near [FASS]], I've decided to head out of home @ 0800 hrs...

(FYI, the talk starts @ 1000 hrs...)

Anyway, I was a bit slow and only managed to leave the house @ 0830 hrs... Once I managed to get to the [Central Library], I consulted the map to check my bearings and ascertain the fact tt my destination and where I am @ the moment is indeed really far apart... Then I started tmy 15 mins walk... All the way from [Kent Ridge Crescent] to [Science Drive 1]... With my trusty [MuVo] MP3 player as my only companion...

I arrived @ my destination @ 0930 hrs... Nice...

With the talk, I've understood tt there's 2 parts to the special term and like I've mentioned earlier, we can choose to take both parts or either parts... In addition, for 1 part of the special term tt last for 6 weeks each, we can take a max of 2 modules... IMO, going by my character, it's suicidal to take 2 modules in 6 weeks... I mean, if the norm is 13 weeks for 1 module, I'm so not gonna challenge tt for the small chance of graduating early...

In conclusion, I've decided to take 1 module for each part of the special term just to get rid of some of the university requirements 1st as well as to get the hang of studying again...Tt said, this means tt I'm not going for those union camps... Not tt I would want to in the 1st place...

Of course, I'm not gonna neglect the cost factor... each module cost like $654 and the special term isn't only for those freshies... You can choose to enter in the special term before the second yr too... Though I'm not sure whether you can do multiple special terms... *Ponders* Hmmm... Why not??? After all, as long as you've the $, you think [NUS] will complain???

The talk ended @ 1100 hrs and I couldn't resist the temptation of the reception tt was waiting outside the LT... With the self-control tt I would have if a guy confessed his feelings to me, I took a cup of coffee and some cakes before I made my way back to [Clementi Stn]... This time, I took the internal [NUS] shuttle bus service to [Kent Ridge Crescent] 1st before taking bus [96]...

Lunch was @ the hawker centre in [Clementi]... I visited the stall tt's famous for it's [American] food - [Botak Jones]... LOL... If you're craving for such style and [Billy Bombers] and [NYNY] is totally outta your budget, then [Botak Jones] is the alternative... It's affordable and the servings are huge, so it's worth it... I ate the gigantic 8 inch chicken sausage tt comes with those hotdog bread, loads of fries and a plate of cloestraw, which only cost $8.50!!! Imagine tt!!! For less than $10, you'll get to enjoy something tt's similar to what you can get @ those restaurant... After all, who needs air-con when there's fan??? And since you're in the hawker centre, the drinks are cheap too, so there you have it, [American] style food in the heartlands... With the [Singapore] feel... LOL...

(Now for a change of topic...)

3 days ago, a certain colleague simply took my stuff from my bag w/o consulting for my permission... He then subsequently drop me an SMS to inform me of what he did... in my perspective, tt 2 sentences are filled with so many things tt pisses me off...

Firstly, I've some serious trust issues stalking me... This stems from my dark past which I'm not gonna repeat here and also on my stand tt if you want to borrow something, it's your responsibility to return the thing and not wait till you're being chased before attempting to return it... So I've no idea where my [House Of Fury] went and I guess this should be of sufficient hint to a certain someone who borrowed a certain DVD from me... *Grin*

Not to be derailed, I thus have developed this unwillingness to lend stuff to others as well as feel tt you should @ least have the decency to ask 1st before taking the things... Therefore, you can imagine my chagrin when I saw the msg and realised tt my bag was moved not because of some supernatural causes, but by a living person who's obviously not myself... This brings up the 2nd point of intrusion to my personal belongings... Valuables (this refers to everything tt's in the bag) could've been stolen!!! Of course, point 1 is still in effect as I didn't allow access to anyone else to rummage through my bag...

Thirdly, to apologise after knowing so well tt you're already committing the mistake is unforgivable as since you know tt it's a mistake already, then don't do it!!! Plus, if apologies is able to correct everything, then there's no need for death penalties and the law...

My perspective on tt particular colleague has made a complete 180 degree turn and nth will change this... I've also bitched abt this to [YH] just to released some pent up anger... In the end, I've not only gotten a load outta my mind, I've also formed new perspectives... I'm also @ fault as to leave my things unattended and this is a lesson well learned... Bear in mind tt this does not mean tt I've changed my views on tt colleague... After all, I might not be capable of being angry for long, but I sure as hell is able to bear a grudge...

Ahh it's just as well tt [Dec] is finally coming... I shall start my plan to delude myself into believing the fantasy tt this 2 yrs didn't happen... After all, I'm one who don't open up to others tt readily, so it's not tt tough for me to move on...

Before I end this entry, behold the music video recommendation!!!
