hello again

hi again! and it's near the end of another week of school. yay! friday is coming!!!! well, well, what happened this week? tutorials started. boy that's a story. well, 2 stories of my tutorials that i wanna relate.

enter the cheena tutor.
to those wondering when the heck this'll happen, well, it's happened. guess which module? english literature. his name's fan (something something) don't remember his name. but his accent's unbelievable. there were times when he had to stop and spell out the word he was trying to say. for the first half of the class, i was trying so hard not to laugh at him. i think the rest of the class was stunned also cos no one talked at all for most of the class and the tutorial became another lecture session. which wasn't that great cos, although tutor knows what he's doing, his accent... it was like, cheena plus british, which is miles better than the cheena plus american but still sometimes impossible to decipher. gosh. how to survive lit like this??

my first maths tutorial was just short of a complete fiasco. know why? cos i went to the wrong class. malu malu. ok, here's the story. in the morning, i had english in the arts fac. then, i somehow managed to convince sumi, jas n duan hui to go with me to the sc fac for lunch. after lunch, duan hui so kindly accompanied me to find my class. so there we were, looking for S14. and we found it. yay. but then, i'm thinking, this looks like the matlab thing, i'm supposed to have tutorial. thought maybe it's ok so went in. later on, someone i met told me that she's having lab session. so i on the verge of panic. class is supposed to start in less than 5 minutes. so quickly called home and ask mother to check my timetable for me. horror of horrors! i'm supposed to be in S9. and according to the clock, class has already started. and i have absolutely no idea where's S9. so quickly run lor. lucky i found the building. then another problem. seminar room 4. i saw the maths department offices. SR1, SR2, SR3...where's SR4??!!!??!?!?! really panicking now. class started 15 minutes ago. running around S9 again. finally asked the people sitting at the study benches. so malu. entering the tutorial hot and sweaty and late. luckily there were 3 other people who started to hang around me after hearing me asking where's SR4. they were also late and lost. so go to tutorial. they were already divided into groups and discussing the questions. mr toh says to just join one of the groups. fine. but they're discussing the very question that i don't know how to do. :p so i just play along and steal looks at my neighbour's paper. haha! geez. what a fiasco.

ok, till next time. (preview: choir practice, EL project, Lolita)

p.s. i heard from mother that john little parkway closed down. WHY???! so sad. i miss all the colleagues there. never got the chance to meet up and now never will. sigh.
