That's an ending that I can't write

helloooo

it's the beginning of week 4 and i am starting to feel the heat... 

just when i thought heavy mod times (german) were over, i had to go and take a level 4 mod... it's interesting la really. just that the hours of preparation were listed as 7.5 per week, but i feel it's more like 10+ hours. 

the biology mod is also like... wut. i have no interest in biology at all and all these big foreign words and terminology are just putting me off :/

dsc is quite easy so far but i've heard bell curve is freaking steep (although that's what everybody says about easy mods) 

apparently they used to teach dsc to both biz majors and people from other faculties taking it as breadth, but they had to separate biz majors from the other people because a lot of science and engin kids were taking the mod and owning the biz majors...... lOL

i think i'm just gonna focus on my econs mods since i can't s/u them. 

so much for pulling my cap this sem hais

coming back to school really makes me wish i was on sep instead

other than my mods, life has been great

yesterday i went to a gathering with the jc kids at marina barrage, it was supposed to be a farewell party for lum and bryan who are going overseas, but when i got there i realised it was also a surprise bday party for me awwww was very touched although i think my poker face did not give away much :< 

stuffed ourselves with food and played some games haha

everything was great except for the location. sitting in the humid outdoors made us all sweat like cray and by 6pm we were all dead from the sun and ready to go home. hahaha. 

i also got a balloon hehe i think it's the first time i've received a balloon in like 13 years? 

it's funny how when you're a small kid you love balloons, then once you hit 9 or 10 you shun them because you're all grown up now and don't want to look childish, and when you're a young adult suddenly you're getting balloons again for your birthday haha

but the balloon was really very pretty, it had smaller balloons in it that were my favourite colours (blue and green and white) ☺️ #i think i love balloons again

now that the guys are in year 1 and the girls are in year 3, it's the period for sending people overseas. 

et has gone off to sweden, tania is going to scotland, lum is going to tw and bryan is going to study somewhere near london. waow. going to miss all of you :( 

okay back to the grind... BYE

Where have you been?

I love this whole album (Get Born) from JET.

It starts off very lively with 3 fast songs, then it simmers down a lil with Look What You've Done, and then from there it's 1 fast song, 2 slow songs, 2 fast songs, 1 slow song, 1 fast song, and 2 slow songs, including the last song on the album, Timothy.

I always wondered what this song meant, and apparently it's about a band member's older brother who died as a child. :(

This is a really slow song but I kinda just realised how amazing the instrumentation is. The reverb, and echoey sounds, and the keyboard riff in the background that sounds like a spaceship... wow. I always wondered why the song sounded so spacey and I just realised today it was cos of that riff.

And such simple yet powerful lyrics... it kinda sounds like Julian Casablancas, now that I think of it. Both in terms of songwriting and vocals. Although Julian's voice would probably be muffled and much less prominent in the mix as compared to the rest of the instruments...

Only fools rush in

it's official... i'm a year 3 😭

half of my uni life has flown by. i have had soo much fun in uni and i really dw it to end :(

i'm starting my 5th semester in nus tomorrow omg. feels like just yesterday when lianne and i were taking sociology together. (that was in our first sem) 

my mods this sem don't look very fun, but i think it's still better than last sem's. i have to clear 2 breadth mods this sem, and i chose lsm1301 and dsc1007x. both sound boring to me but i can think of worse mods out there, so i shall count my blessings. 

i'm also taking my first level 4 mod this sem- behavioural economics. i hope it's kind to me. 

on the bright side... i got everything for 1 point each! wow. and also, three-day work week!!! so happy hehe. 

welp. nothing much else to say. i guess i'm quite excited for the new sem. excited to watch auditions for the cca, and excited to see how the new sem goes. 

this summer break has been eventful yet fun, with summer sch, the baybeats experience, dinners and beers with friends, more hanging out at the clubroom, some spring cleaning for my room, attempts to learn to cook my own meals, and many many gig practices. (i still feel like i've done so much yet so little over the past 3 months)
