~ And so it begins ... ~

Gee, so fast and the last week of the hols has passed in the blink of the moment.
All the orientation camps have come to a close and what's left is lots of recuperation
for many. 
Still don't feel like school is starting. Feels like it's the holidays still. Sigh, i feel like i felt
when i've just orded. Heh. What the heck. Back to square one. And so the cycle of mugging
continues once again, making the smart smarter and the lazy ones... skip lectures. :)

Monday, the new day of the week, got up early, felt excited... yeah. Gonna be going to school
from home. Doesn't seem that bad. Quite alright i should say... could get used to it, if i ain't
staying in the hall. Anyway, guess what. I was early for the lecture this sem. Not bad i should
say, but sad enough, the lecturer probably thought that it was still the holidays too. Or maybe
he just had a rough night with his wife the previous night. He came just 10 mins before the
lecture ended and just gave us a brief intro. That's so nice of him.. to still remember us,
when he could've just left us waiting and let us all rot or leave for home which we've just left
more then an hour plus ago...

Mmmm... MACs has finally arrived into NTU. Dunno why but it just feels good. Gives the
place something "fast", or maybe it's cos it's an MNC... giving the canteen an international feel?
I dun really care much about it cos no matter what, eating it everyday's gonna cost a bomb.
But it gives this air of excitement and i dunno colours up the place a little? Gives canteen A
a brighter feel i guess? Maybe the colours really do affect the human moods...

Books books... as usual, there's a book fair just outside the canteen. Lots of old books for sale.
Programming books... computer books... story books.. etc etc... why couldn't i find a good and
more updated java book for 9 bucks, like i did last sem? Hmm hope i'll find something to
reference myself to and make me feel more secured... haha.

Monday afternoon... lectures ended. Went to collect my hall keys. Asked Kk to go try asking
the hall office again if he had gotten a hall. Didn't know the 3rd round results were out...
Not bad, he got it. Guess what, we're in the same room again. haha, must be fated :) And there i
was, thinking in my head how i should start introing myself to my new roommate.

Mon nite, Tues evening, all spent cleaning up this new room. Not bad i should say. At least
there's 2 fans and the lights are brighter. However a certain problem seems to be the infestion
of mozzies... gonna have to get lots of mozzie coils. Damn... or maybe i should just get those
electronic types. Buzz away mozzies!

Gonna move in soon. yea... back to surfing the lan, back to late nights, back to mugging and
drowning. Back to climbing hills, back to communal living. Back to the ways i've left behind
3 months ago. Somehow i've missed it yet somehow i'm too lazy to go back into it. I wonder
why... has home grown on me already? Heh. I wonder....
Oh well.. gotta wake up early tom... gotta catch the early ride so i can move my stuff in,
looking forward to this new sem. Hope it's better... hope i get luck. :)
