elaboration...
:Wednesday, June 15, 2005:

Well, an elaboration from yesterday's post...

So, I followed freddie to the band room yesterday. Right after school. (damn.. forgot to get the archery form). Well, I went there, and we met two seniors from year 2. They were super crappy, and Freddie was like, "is he a saxophonist?" for every guy who walked past. Was feeling super listless as we watched the two seniors eat there.. The band room has become their second home. Well, then they went in there and we all sat at the sofas. Was feeling even more listless as we heard them crapping away. Absolute waste of time. I so felt like not goign for band.. cultural shock.

Couldn't find a good excuse to get away... so I sat there till it was time to get the joystick from Tze yuan. There was nobody there to like, see who's going in and out.. so I just went out, took the CDs, put in my pocket, and went to Ngee Ann poly.

Well, 184 took faster than I expected. One turn and suddenly, whoa.. i'm in bukit timah already?! so I was there like, half an hour before time. Jeremy was at his malay friend's house (can't remember his name.. sorry!) collecting squash equipment. I told him to hurry while I walked around ngee ann. Then suddenly, at the atrium, I saw geri..haha. bet she was just as surprised to see me. And she even thought I was studying in NP..hahaa.... Well, I just told her I was at SP (looking around to see if ppl were looking at me while I said "SP") and that I was in DME. Can't remember for nuts what course she was in..lol.

Then I met Jeremy... Whoa.. totally changed look. Looked like some alien.. lol. okay. so he toured me around.. we went all the way to the fourth floor of the library just to find a toilet for him to change and all that..haa.. Then before they could really bring me around, TY ended class.. He didn't have the joystick with him, so I went over to his house to take it..haha..

Well, went over and took the joystick, and watched him play XwA the last mission for abit.. .then I carried the ohbiang joystick for band. luckily it fit in the box which my clay models were stored. i'll talk about the ideas module later on.

I totally wasted my time there. At band. I went there.. the people were so very melded into their cliques. I only managed to talk to one flautist in total, when there were like, 10-15 flautists? And she only talked to me about necessary stuff like what I needed to know... and I only got to ask her about like... "how do I join band?". In the end, It ended up in a decision, Choose Christ or Choose band. Well, I guess it's either miss FCM or miss band. I chose the former, Praise God!

During their so-called 'orientation' of freshie... we all freshies had to stand up in front.. and get 'interrogated' by the seniors shouting questions from the back in a rowdy manner. Man! I expected a band to be better cultured than that. I got a total cultural shock. Not only did I have to return like, one hour later because of all that stupid interrogation and hte lame questions they asked each freshie, I didn't get to play much of XwA. and I was even more pissed becauese I was already wasting time there since I was not allowed to join because I can't commit my fridays.

Well, that ends the account from yesterday. I barely even had time to type it out last night before my dad logged off.. since I returned so late.

Well, down to the ideas module. I thought ontography was total crap, and it only got worse as we had to make a clay model out of it. Whatever. WEll, I just made some crap, and we'll see how they are going to force-fit a product design into it. whatever.

We're supposed to be designing something at random (using the clay model and making it's shape) and suddenly, it's going to be the breakthrough design for something. How crap can this get? too bad one of my fav lecturers (mr Soh) is teaching it. Auto CAD is no longer taught by him..

Today was mechanics. We were taught by a Dr Pek. He just got his doctorate not too long ago. But honestly, he's a good teacher, getting all the facts across to us students. ANd he has a wealth of experience which he shares with us. Too bad he's not our regular lecturer. Mr Raj, our regular lecturer, is on leave until next week. I hope he's good. But well, if he's not, I still can go ask Mr Pek.. Although Mr Pek is abit nerdy, he's a pretty nice person to stick around with. Well, hope he teaches me in the future..haha.

Tomorrow is AutoCAD lesson. I just hope I'll be able to talk to the teacher.. if I can, i'll try to tell her that we would prefer lessons that allow us more exploration space, more thinking, rather than her current step-by-step "Tell you and you do" method. Well, at first I thought she was rather haggy, and hated her for it. But toward the end of the lesson, my heart softened as she adapted to the situation quickly by trying to give us more space bit by bit. WEll, I do hope, seeing this, that she would be willing to change if I tell her that giving us more space to work would be good.

Hmm.. good news.. SPGG is not under SP control. SO actually I can just drop by, tell them my free time slots, and I'll be allocated work times. I hope to do that soon, and start work soon. It's like, twenty bucks or so per evening. not bad.

My heart feels ripped again. Today, the second day of camp. Just imagining what they'll be doing now in someone's room... playing games, singing songs, sharing... and she'll be there too... just makes me feel really.. T_T jealous... T_T I miss that kinda fellowship. well, hopefully it'll be over soon. and they won't talk about it. I feel totally terrible.
