only you.

and school starts. the first lecture was as usual, incomprehensible. and we have rupert wilmouth teaching us again. i like him. he's a gd teacher. love his slow very easy to hear british accent.

so far it has been a happening one week. helped sam pack, went for first lecture, spent the afternoon lazing around with sam. dinner plus chill with hall friends, then later supper.

watched chronicles of narnia with sam. love the christian parallels. makes me think about Jesus's scarifice on the cross and His resurrection, just like Aslan. then went to borders to catch tp on gossip and women's magazines. something i havent' done in a long long time.

then met with shermaine for dinner at liang court while waiting for a direction-blind grace to arrive at clarke quay so we can go ministry of sound. she finally arrived and we queued for 40 mins before the doors open at 9pm and we're allowed in. checked out the huge place with the different rooms of different music genres. basically it was nicer than i expected and the ciggarette smoke was not as strong as chinablack. *thumbs up for good ventilation* but it was way too crowded at the R&B room. so i like the main arena a lot 'cos there's actually space to really dance. and the music was a mix of genres, which i like 'cos you wouldn't know what's next. and we girls love singing to the music while we dance. haha. oh joyce the dancing babe joined us later. drinks weren't free. so we only had a glass each. not high enough to really let looose and dance. then went for bah kut teh supper at mohd sultan rd before heading back.

in the cab we had conversations abt the corporatisation of NTU and the hostel fees hike. which leaves me so angry and bullied into paying a lot of money just because my university is now a business corporation. had similar conversations with my wsc president and vicepresident too. $240!!! for a single room, totally unjustified. just for the fact that now NTU is going private so they need to raise the price in order to make a profit?? what nonsense is that. we're paying thousands of dollars on tuition and miscellaneous fees (plus the stupid amenities fee), not including the hundreds of dollars on textbooks, daily expenses when u stay in hall like groceries, laundry stuff, toiletries, bills and you're asking us to pay some $60/month extra just because we're going private? if you increase bit by bit, alright. but such a sudden increase, to me, is not only unfair, is totally unjustified and uinreasonable.

ok enough of complain. only had 4 hours of sleep, was late for this morning's 830am lecture, which led my friends to think i'm such a party girl. gonna nap before heading to dinner and wala's with hall friends for sam's farewell "celebration".

sigh. he's leaving this sunday. skype will become my best friend, while my school friends have promised they'll entertain me for this semester in his absence. they're the sweetest bunch. =)
