I think for the past few days i had been thinking of many things. Thinking of how my engin workload will be like, and whether i can really afford to have the time to participate in any cca at all.
First and foremost, i would like to join RESONANCE, the NUS a capella. Second on my mind was the photographic society. One which is something i will pursue due to a keen and innate passion for singing. One is a passion in appreciating skilfully taken photos. In the army, due to Ken, i had this almost sudden interest in taking photos. He did give me some tips here and there, magazines, and even his analog camera SLR. Yet i am aware that out of these 2 only one can be my cca.
CCA aside, tmr is the audition for Rhapsody 2005, and i am thinking of joining this competition. Part of me is reluctant, yet the other is encouraged my frens who supported me. If i were to go there tmr between 12 to 5 at chinatown kbox to sing, my song will be coco lee's "before i fall in love".
Hmmm tmr i am going to army market with my second brother too, and in the evening to the festival of praise at the indoor stadium. I am going there juz to take a look lor.
Today is my department's welcome session. Otherwise known as ISE day. Industrial and systems. I met up with my mentor, Prof Lee Loo Hay and chatted with him. He is generally an approachable guy who is pretty amiable himself. That day i went for the ENGIN welcome session. Today is the industrial and systems department welcome session. THe head of department Prof something went on to tell us about the curriculum as well as about how fortunate we are to enter into this department, of only 57 in strength.
Things that he told us about the industrial engineers are somewhat what i had read up before. In the first place i chose this department after reading into the areas that IE(industrial engineers) do.
Made some new friends, including "duy", pronounced as "zuwee", a vietnamese, as well as Juan, from philippines. I think i muz have been a fool myself when i asked Juan what his race was. He told me "philippino" and he laughed. Alright fine, i thought he could be a chinese also ma. Boo.
Duy, that vietnamese guy is really incomprehensible. What i meant by that is, i simply had a tough time trying to understand his english. Yes all i understand is his laughter, and I laughed perfunctorily with him lor.
Can't believe that during the talk someone actually raise his hand and asked the professor what time his first lecture wil be. I was like "duh".....everywhere u can find the timing of ur lecture lor. cors, ivle..bla bla.
How i wish i could turn back the time. I couldn't buy the mrt concession pass coz bus and mrt couldn't be bought separately. Ughh now i muz wait for the bus concession to end in a month's time.
