This mornin, my mum last min told me that my dad asked us to go JP earlier to wait for him at ard 4+pm. s last week, he was earlier than the time he said so this time, my mum suggested to go out at 2+pm instead & he reached at 3.45pm. luckily we went out earlier.
my dad drove to EXPO wantin to go see d travel fair but the carpark was very full that we cant get in at all so we went for dinner instead while waiting to see d chinese physician. dad's seeing for his hand's pain while I see for my ligament problem. doc said i no need go back le. but these few mths no strenous exercise. must let it recover fully.
then my dad drove us to tampines (think st 81) to walk ard while he go for his meeting at st 91. at 1st my mum & i intend to go tampines mall aft tt but my dad doesn't seemed to know hw to go. thus, we decided to stay put & went mac to wait for him s my mum said ltr my dad grumble if he had difficulty findin d place.in d end, they still end up grumbling & were unhappy.
cos it rain & my dad asked us to wait d main rd outside d mac (told me) but he still said d place whr he dropped us off earlier which is another place (told my mum). then my mum grumble say need to walk & it was raining, etc & she hang up d phone. i was confused so i called my dad & this time he 'flare' up & grumble say he turn in to d carpark & nvr specify where.
my mum & i walk ard but couldn't find him & then my mum angry & grumble. my dad who was still waiting for us called again & demanded to know where we r. told him we r lookin for him & he oso not happy. when we walked back & he saw us, he shouted, 'OI' to call us. & both of them started grumbling louder & louder which I suddenly 'flare up' & said, 够了啦，都过去了。only then, both of them shut up but my mood sucks & listen to my mp3 & pretend to sleep. but i know aft i said tt, they stopped d topic & started chatting bout other stuffs in normal mood le.

tried but fun day
Had 2 early morning tutorials then a lab class. b4 gg for lab class, i went to the washrm & am amazed tt the 2 students in d 2 cubicles could still chat with each other & talk on d phone. this is nothing. think they r doing 'big business' then and they can even go about askin each other if they finishin soon. worst still, they discuss bout what's they best position to do whatever they wanna do. i guess they never realized tt there r many people queuein outside waiting for d only cubicle left & listening to their conversations.
enough of that. this morning, for the practical class, i accidently dump my pencils & markers into my bag instead of my lab coat pocket while we rush over for d briefing by d unpopular prof. when i went back, i forget again & dump my bag up on the shelf. i feel so handicapped as i cant copy anything or to mark down anything at all & had to borrow pencil from my kind friend.
during the 2nd 45 min incubation period, we went over to the auditorium to take a look around the travel fair. in the end, i didn't realized i'm being targeted by d emcee who is talkin through his mic and was happily walkin behind my friends. d emcee stopped me & ask my name & in turn stopped my 3 other friends. he brought us over to the Vietnam booth & got us into playing the game of hitting the bottle which is hanging in mid-air. we have to be blindfolded & only instructions were given by our partner. feel so paiseh.
We oso went over to the India Booth where we have our hands painted & in the end, we were really handicapped cos we r left w 1 hand to work with in the lab as we need to wear gloves. We had a hard time putting on our lab coat which we failed so as d painted design on our hands were smeared.
anyway, after sch, actually, i left earlier to meet my friends (ex-colleagues) to go IMM for dinner to celebrate another friend's birthday. but it doesn't matter that much for leaving the lecture earlier as we were watchin Matrix at that time. I can try watch online. haha. Fun lesson but will be stressful for exam.
At fish & co, saw my sec sch friends too & our english teacher. it was 1 of my friend's birthday & apparently, they made it known to d staffs & d staffs sang him a birthday song. after d dinner, went challenger & there i saw another sec sch friend. so coincident. but it's indeed a v different day. though tired but fun.

lessons
today, my friend came out with a way to keep awake in lecture (i said so) cos she said she counted the number of times the lecture said, 'er' or something like that when he stammered. LOL.
Anyway, d lecturer gave us a v 'good' news at d end of d lecture. he said d mid-term test will be immediately after d term break & it weight 40%. to me, it's not a test cos it's 2 hour paper in the exam format. so in another words, it's a mock-exam. shit... tt week still got 2 other tests. hopefully our project presentation will be the week after.
s his lesson ended earlier, we went for our late lunch & waited for our next mass tutorial in which d prof apparently forget. & we left after waiting for like 20-25min.
i found tt this semester, most prof aren't worried at all at d pace they r gg. they cant finish what they wanna lecture, they also like that. somemore, still late and today this prof even forget to come. this is definitely not a good sign.
enough for nw. gg do my online discussion postings, reflections, lab report & possibly another 1+ tutorial for tml.

wedding emcee is a failure...
my friend's wedding is over. i did badly as the emcee as i will either say wrongly or will stammer... sighed...
b4 d dinner commence, even last min smsed & called my friends to ask for advices & amend the script till the last min. mayb if i had gotten the script earlier to prepare, the outcome might have been better? aiya, no point looking back lah. just take it as an experience gain ba.
btw, i was sitting with my parents at first, but d table was at the far end where the entrance/exit is. quite a long walk to the stage & back. in the end my emcee partner asked me to go sit with him & his friends (they are my friend's sec sch friends) as they have got an empty seat & it's closer to the stage just that i find it weird as they r so familar with each other. my friend's mum was also puzzled y aren't i sittin w my parents. lol.
when the dinner ended, i find it hard to disrupt them & leave while they chat as my parents r waiting for me & my dad's colleague & son r also waiting for my dad to drive them back but i got no choice.

unpopular prof
was just reminded by my friend of a pretty unpopular lecturer that we have this semester but i shan't named him. even the teaching assistance that help out also doesn't seemed to like him. d way the TA described him was funny.
also b'cos of him, we had a laugh in our 'communication' tutorial. think we were asked to think of a word or so to replace a phase, suddenly rise or something of like that. i suddenly remembered him saying students will be 'ejected' out immediately for not following the rules, etc. & whispered to my friend whom also thought of d word & d tutor heard & said out. d whole class started laughing. I guessed we have a similar gound knowledge since we all had taken d lesson by that prof. lol...

valentine's gift
It was valentine's day yesterday while some will say it's friendship day. Well, below is the little gift which Michelle gave on Friday. I kinda feel paiseh as I didn't prepare any small gifts for my friends.
it came with a note saying:
To: Jess
Happy valentine's day =) according to Rahul in KKHH, friendship is love too, haha. Enjoy your day!
LOL, Michelle
if u wonder what KKHH is, it's a bollywood movie, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, meaning something jus happened. quite a wonderful movie which we enjoyed in our CS119 lectures. the 4 bollywood movies (monsoon wedding, lagaan, earth, & KKHH) screened r so much nicer than chinese movies (crouching tiger, hidden dragon & chunking express).
oso, the LOL isn't laugh out loud. hee. it's lots of love (interpretated by our lecturer's colleague or something like that). haha

Wedding Dinner Emcee
Yesterday morning, got an sms from my friend who is getting married on valentine's day. He asked if I could help him at the dinner to be his emcee. I was stunned when I saw the sms as I am not the type that could bring out the atmosphere like all emcee that I seen before. It's a wedding dinner and it'll be weird if there is no atmosphere.
Furthermore, all the wedding dinner that I went before had a pair of emcees. So will he has? But I do not know his friends. Maybe if have will be better if his friend can bring out the atmosphere but I feel very weird too. It might be a good chance to build up my confidence but my confidence level in front of my parents is always much much lower. So I really do not know if I can do my job well. I do not want to ruin such a happy occasion but my friend said, 'no problem one... don't worry... i will brief you' after I reply him.

Eleven
Have you ever wonder why there is a difference in the pronuncation for certain part of the word which had the same meaning? I never until my cousin (who is just in K1) pronunce the word eleven differently.
Actual: eleven = e-le-ven
His: eleven = el-e-ven just like elephant = el-e-phant
though his pronuncation is not correct but i think he might have got confused as they both start with the same 'ele-' so i guess he's not so wrong afterall.
my mum had a big laugh when she overheard me trying to imitate him.
