haha
Was reading my previous blog posts dating all the way back to 2008 and found myself missing all those good times. And I realised that I haven't been blogging often nowadays. Haha. Who cares if no one reads my blog. At least I'll have something to read when I'm bored.
Well, I've said this many times, and I'll say it again... Poly life is awesome! It's the holidays now thanks to the YOG break, all the way until our exams on the 1st week of September, and after which we have 6 solid weeks of holiday! Now that's something you won't get in JC or secondary school because I never had more than 4 consecutive weeks of holiday in secondary school! I can't wait for the new semester, because we'll be learning new things!
And I'm finally rid of Computer Programming... I don't hate the module that much but doing the project was tedious, and programming isn't really my thing (it brings back bad memories). And I thought I'd seen the end of Idea Jumpstart after that Jumpstart Challenge day, when I found out that the Comm Toolkit module we've to take in Sem 2 lasts for 4 hours every week... And that there're modules called Idea Blueprint and Idea Launchpad in Year 2 o.O
One thing I'll miss, though, is Engineering Mechanics. Because it hardly needs any studying. Ha.
ETE... I will not be missing you anytime soon, bro. Now, time to tackle diodes and logic gates =.=
As for CCA... Haha I know what you're thinking! That's right, here I go again talking about my CCA like the best thing since football. Okay weird analogy. Anyway I'm losing interest in Piano Ensemble, haha! I can count the number of times I've been to CCA on one hand... Sigh, but I'll stay on until I get to perform at the Esplanade. Then I'll quit.
Totally different story for NPStrings though. Yesterday, apart from the ego-boosting exchange with Mr. Kong (see below post), my cello teacher, Mr. Ma, let me play a Grade 8 cello exam piece... I didn't play it extremely well, of course, but I managed to get the basics right. Okay, I admit that it's not much of an ego booster than a morale booster, but it made me feel good all the same.
Moving on to other things, I'm kinda looking forward to and at the same time dreading tomorrow. Because I plan to photograph the NDP planes from Marina Bay Sands's Skypark, and there're limited tickets available, I have to wake up real early tomorrow to queue up to buy mine. And the infuriating thing is that you're not guaranteed a place up there even if you had a ticket... so I'm planning to camp at the Skypark once I get my ticket... which is from around 10am to 5 or 6 pm. Scary thought. I don't know how I'm going to spend 10 hours 50 storeys in the air. I cannot go down and explore the resort because if I do I may not be able to go back up again.
Update: I just visited the Skypark website and it says that 'all tickets are scheduled and allocated a specific time-frame'... Okay I don't know if they'll enforce this rule tomorrow but I certainly have a mighty bad feeling about it... Time to scout for other locations as a backup I guess.
But after that it'll be awesome because I'll be meeting my secondary school friends!!! Oh how much I miss them! We'll be staying in a hotel room in MBS with a great view of the fireworks! And we'll probably be staying up all night talking about everything! Yeah I can't wait!
