The Magic

So i formed my group. We are getting really prepared for our very first assignment together. Although it is only 5%, i am giving it my heart and soul. People who know me will know that i have failed in an "event". And am hoping to use this opportunity to prove to myself that i still have some magic in me. There seems to be some communication breakdown between me and the lecturer when i was clarifying some details.

Facial Recall

Second day yesterday, i am somewhat able to recognise people's faces although i do no have their names to match. i've got a secondary school friend in class. he has his own group of friends. we don't sit together, this is ok. i mean we have not seen each other since then. naturally there will be some strangeness between. i believe tonight, i will remember more faces and hopefully get a few names to match them. no one seems to like talking to new guys. the back seats are always noisy. i will have to sit in the middle today.

Locate Please

Yesterday was my first day. Everyone seemed ok, except i kind of felt that the environment was hostile. Maybe it could be that part of the students had already made groups due to their being there a lot earlier than us. After all we were new students and they were old ones. This class had us joining together for this common module. It is rather confusing because i do not know who is from my class (The Newbies) and who is from the other (The Pros). I could not possibly shout out to locate them. So i sat alone in a corner. Hopefully things will turn out better today.

The Bag

I bought this bag for school. You know to put my laptop, notes and stuff. I was so happy because the design is really nice and all. But it did not occur to me that the magnetic flaps would maybe corrupt my disks. I realised this only when i reached home.

Level Down

My sister is a very avid user of friendster. So it was not very long later that she kind of persuaded me to get an account. Of course i was ever busy with other things so i just got the account and never logged on at all. You know, like getting it just for the sake of having one. Typical Singaporean behavior right? And so after so long i decided to log on to the abandoned account. I don't have much friends there so i just clicked on the only one! (You know who you are) And from there i quickly browsed through her friend's list to see what is going around the people i know. It would be too tedious to list out my findings but to simplify them:

1. Almost everyone has grown prettier and more handsome


2. Almost everyone is attached and some married


3. Almost everyone has a stable career


4. For those who do not they are studying ferociously


5. Almost everyone has friendster and are very linked to each other

Which leads me to think about myself. The sad thing about this story, is that it seems everyone has moved on with their lives except me. In fact, if James had not mentioned the other day that i had slacked for a year doing nothing. I would have never stopped to think. It is kind of scary. And at the same time when i compare myself to my ex-classmates i kind of feel one level down.

Wake Up

Mother is really excited about my whole going back to school thing. She says it is my last chance to pull my academic self together. I have to agree with her on this one. Things always start out ok and develops into a chore. With regard to this, she says i have to start sleeping early and waking up early. Which means, no more late night shows. There must be a way to get the best out of both worlds.

Studying Soon

So i just paid my fees for the semester. It is official i am starting school on 3rd October. Hopefully i can really re-collect myself and carve a new bright path for my future. The problem with me, is that i get distracted very easily. And this time i really have to work on this weakness of mine. The fees are expensive and i have to make it worth the while. No more disappointments, no more playfulness. At least that is what i am trying to tell myself at this moment.
