I deem yesterday's post -INVALID-. Therefore I shall re-write for yesterday's blunder's sake.

Okay, okay...yesterday had a very bright beginning. I met up with Paul-kun, my classmate, a.k.a. my oniichan ('big brother' in Jap) at Foodcourt 2 at (apparently) 7.30 in the morning to eat breakfast (or so he thought. I didn't, you see. Haha.) And then we arrived at our most beloved Studio, T531, quite punctually at 8am, the time we're supposed to report for class.

After which...we were introduced to another lecturer for our course, Mdm Siti! She's a building architect, right as we 'speak' (I'm typing, aren't I? Not 'speaking'...) but she'll be teaching one of our modules, Environmental System and Process, I think. So far, I find that she's a really nice lady!

Oh, then, we watched a video made by the Yr 2 students of DLA. Something they've been compiling for the whole of their 1st year as Landscape Architecture students. It was very enlightening to some, it was a touching video to me...maybe it was the background music that they used. It's really not much of the fun that I'm looking forward to, it's the opportunity to realize myself and my potential, the opportunity to do things anew, without having burdens of my past around to drag me down. 'Cos as it is, there's no one in my course whom I know from my secondary school, but only one guy was actually a schoolmate from my primary school, but that's not so much of a burden.

Then we personalised our workspace! Yay! I've got my mini Zen garden, 3 postcards with pictures of beautiful historical gardens from Busan, Korea (I happened to buy them on my choir competition trip to Busan in Sec 1), my drawings of Dio and Luciola from Last Exile and Kouji and Kouichi from Digimon Frontier, all pinned to the divider board with my cute ladybug pins bought from Borders! And lastly, there's my ever-so-comfy wrist-pad. I've been having a problem with my wrist these few months. Sometimes a nerve inside will simply hurt so much, very sharply. I'm so scared I might get that weird syndrome of people who use the mouse/keyboard too often that they suffer from such pains.

Then we collected our stationeries! I was one in my class who might've bought the most number of things..till my plastic bags broke, even though I doubled it...sheesh. In any case we all left them at our workspace in the studio, and proceeded to Pasir Ris Park! BUT, meanwhile, in between, Aishah here attempted to return Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG boxes 1 and 2 at the school main library, and also borrow boxes 3 and 4 at the same time. I ended up making my classmates wait for me! Aargh!! My oniichans actually went to the library to wait for me!! And my classmate Alia was so worried that I'll be left behind. Nyahaha. Hontouni gomen nasai, minna-san!

Then, the trip to Pasir Ris. We took a train, a bulk of DLA Yr 1 students did..together with our tutor/lecturer (I'm still confused as to how we're supposed to spell his name. Haih.) Reaching Pasir Ris, we took 354 to the bus stop where you would get down if you wanna go to Escape Theme Park, and walked our way to our 'site' at the beach. I feel so bad for making the Year 3s wait for us! But along the way, I spoke to a lot of my classmates to get to know them better. ^^

Then we were teamed in groups of 5. I was with Ryann, Wenqiang, Ariffin and Ernest (apparently I was the rose amongst the thorns)(Nevermind, I noticed Paul was the thorn amidst the roses in his team, haha) and then paired up with a senior group of 4 people. So far I've only managed to remember 2 of the seniors' names: Tuson and Rainie. Tuson-san was our team leader. And we played a simple game to try memorise each other's names. Unsuccessful, in my case. I now remember about 8 more of my own classmates' names, though. After which my own group had to go look for materials (picked up from our surroundings) to make a sculpture, based on a concept. Our concept was...funny. But I liked one team's idea, they used an umbrella, a shoe, drink cans, with some other stuffs, and make into the life story of a migrant who came to S'pore. Haha. So innovative!

Then we were let to go home. I went with a few of my guy pals to eat at McDonald's at Downtown East (they're basically my team mates + Paul-kun). *smiles* That's all I can say. I don't know how on earth to explain my feeling of freedom, going out with a group of guys again. I've always been doing that back in primary school, but was barred for 4 years while being in a girls' school, and now I'm back to the ever-so-cool mixed-gender environment. I love it. I just socialize around guys better than with girls. And, HEY, I'm not flirting okay, if that's what you're thinking. It's just that guys are way more open are easy-going than people of my own gender are. More fun. More freedom.

And I applied for my Tertiary student Ez-link card at the Pasir Ris bus interchange's Ticket Office.

Such were the events of yesterday. As complete as I can relate. I don't wanna talk about home-stuff. I'm not feeling too good about my situation at home..
