Busy week
Busy busy week.
I now den noticed that it's going to be such a hectic week for me! (den why do i stil have the time here?)
Jap 3 is getting harder and harder.
我也要开始听不懂了!other than that, got many homework and assignments from jap oso. I really wonder how life will be without taking jap language in school. But.. that so-free timetable wun make me any happier coz i won't be seeing most of my good friends.
Went to sim to meet pam for lunch just now. I think her friends already know who I am la.. ha.. see them at least 5 times liao.. 我动不动就跑去SIM。。they having test at 2pm.. so got pam, my, zy, cl, one girl i jus met today called 'my tutor', and one guy whom i wasn't introduced. ha. but nice.. to see a huge group of friends studying together. will this ever happen in nus for me?
There having bazaar sales.. and didn't find anything I like. But, stil ok la. Nice to see so many people walking around and getting excited about school life. Makes me wonder do i have school life?? NUS so 寂寞。。
Just now during tuition, i suddenly got so deeply insighted when i was teaching my tutee. When she was doing a question, and i think she was solving something like this: 3(3x+6)=9x+6... n my first reaction was to blurt out, "Why?" very soon, i realised that it's not nice for a teacher to tell off her student, "why?", when the student did something wrong. What am i expecting anyway? "Because I don't know." , or.. "Because I stupid.".....
I was trying to soothe things out and mentally slapped myself for saying something so rude. and doing a quick mental scan of all the phrases that can never, or shall not be said to a student. Phrases like.. "no, you're wrong.", "Why like that?", "Do you understand me ***OR NOT***?".. den i was thinking how can i tell her nicely.. maybe i can say, "no, it wasn't really right like this.", or.. "It's not right to do it like this", or.. "let me explain again, so you can understand more clearly", "it's ok u dun know, but the answer is....".... And spice up everything with a trillion encouraging phrases like, "great!", "very good", in a chirpy tone and a light up of my face, and just to see that the tutee wasn't really appreciating my goo-ga-ing efforts, but deep down inside i believe they love it. Wa.. the art of teaching.. wasn't easy.

好多事情要做的礼拜天
连续两晚两点半才睡觉。感觉是不错,但是第二天醒来会有点痛苦。
昨天补完习、回到家,就忙着在学校的Forum上留言。不留不行,因为有particpation points。看到许多为了留言而留言的人,说了一堆废话,把Forum搞得很乱。在Forum上,谈论到一点关于‘便当’一词的由来。很多人以为便当是由日语的'弁当'(读bentou),所借过来的,其实,在许多日本网站里,却证实了这个词是源至于中国!所以,有人也说便当是‘回归词’,因为,它去了日本,被改换了一下下,再回来华人的世界里被使用。大开眼界吧~
做了一点geo的research,也了解到许多关于牛仔裤,Jeans,的历史。对,我们在geo project 里准备做关于jeans。看上去很不适当,但是,就是要以‘地理环境影响’的角度来观看人人都穿的牛仔裤的演变。详情还没彻底讨论过。就先research咯。
还有词汇学的project要起步去做。万事起头难。不是过程痛苦,而是总要为要做什么而烦。听al说他们的universe module的project也还在为做什么而烦。我宁愿老师的限制不要那么放宽,跟我们讲要做什么就好啦。我是懒惰想的人。
今天,整天都在赶功课。咳。无奈。。

Finished tuition
I finally, finally finish my tuition! It's been.. let me see.. nearly 5 months? I missed my freedom on Saturday. I realised how important a free day is, for a 5-week person like me. It's over. I got my last pay from the sisters' mother. Supposed to be $125, but she gave me $130, think because she was so 不好意思 that the tuition dragged for 40 minutes more. Her daughters suddenly got so many questions from the school they wanna ask. Zz. OK, i need to be passionate, to become a teacher. Training my patience..
Had a nice little farewell party for Ty yesterday nite. Met px at cwp first, coz ty was late, to buy ch's present. CH's birthday falls on saturday. so as well celebrate together. We bought a converse shirt for ch, and a lovely lil card, den we went to my house. Mom cooking steamboat, and so we sat around to talk a bit and wrote the card. Ty suggest we play a prank on ch, by sayin that many ppl's birthday these days, but act like we didn't realise it was his. Aha.. Anw, i oso din realise it's his bday until i saw it on friendster. We started eating first, pam got test until 8 plus, so she coming later with ch, as ch will have his own dinner, since he's vegetarian.
We chat and ate.. ok practise a bit of my recent jap here.. おしゃべりしながら、食事しました。T,T den almost 10pm, pam and ch den arrive. poor pam, i think she was very very hungry. we waited for pam to finish her food, then we went to my room to play that legendary sg monopoly again. LOL. We not very concentrating, coz many of us got many things to do when playing the game. LOL. Ppl like me, XD. Then when reached midnight, we suggest cutting the cake that we shared to buy for TY. Den we gave ch and ty their presents, and took a lot of silly photos. Ahah.. it was fun. Loved taking photos with friends, or shall i say, love taking silly photos. I can laugh non-stop.
Then we ate the cake, and went back to the game, to play monopoly for awhile more, UNO stacko, and Bingo.. LOL. Played until sian.. then went to play "Deal or no deal". If you want to play the game, it's on the bottom right of this page. Try it! Haha.. By the time we got so quietened down because of tiredness, it's already 2am. Den, pam, px and ch made their way home. Ty stayed over for the night, and we chatted abit and went on to sleep.
When we woke up, it's already 11am. So late! We ate another round of the steamboat, and went on to chat and surfed the net together.. hmm.. time really flies again. Before i noticed it, it's time i have to go for tuition, so TY oso going to make her way home. Bid goodbye to her, it's the last time i saw ty, until don't know when le. Most probably at least another half of the year. So sad!!
It somehow makes me recall the time when i said gdbye to him before he left for brunei. But that's old grannies history, i don't care about that now~
Still, bon voyage to TY! All the best to you, jia you in your studies, and do take good care! Keep in touch ne~!!

MIO~ed
Ok, the happiest thing about today, is .. I am finally MIO-ed!!
Woot~! The connection rocks big time! 10Mbps Unlimited! i can save myself from the trouble of tackling wireless from unknown, unreliable wireless providers.. and i am so connected now. u wun see me dc again! woot~~! i dun have to run around the house looking for the best feng shui for the wireless. i can just savvy myself by sitting on where i wanna see and get hooked up. =D
Anyway, several things regarding the week.
On monday, after jap lecture, stayed in sch for lunch with HJ and Al. we went to the deck.. and hj ordered jap food, and al n me tried the noodle from the new noodle store.. cost only $1.80 for a very big serving, but my conclusion is, it smells like cockroach. no choice, but force the food down. den hj got lesson at 1pm so al and me went to the lab. he need to do his lab report. and we're discussing abt some upcoming movies and watched a few clips from youtube den i gotta go for tuition le. ok, my tutee said she left the book in her grandma's house, which i assumed she did it on purpose, coz she din complete my homework. i dun understand, if u dun wan to do tuition homework, den dun have tuition in the first place la! why waste money. but din care, it's my pay day.
Ironically, my pay day, half gone to my piano fees. It's fees day oso. LOL. plus, i advanced to book two of that legendary older beginner's piano book. and it cost me $84 in total. ouch. but for the love of it, it's stil worth it. learnt two new songs.. getting harder..
Tuesday, had that cute sensei's lesson for jap tut.. u noe who he is.. aha.. after the lesson, ty coming to nus for lunch! haha.. so we meet her at the busstop.. al went for his lesson at sc, so kel joined us to wait for pam to come.. at first wanted to give ty surprise, coz we intend to buy her a laptop case, but she buy alr.. LOL. so we have to forget about the script we intended to act out for the surprise.. ah.. haha.. so we had the nice indonesian chicken set meal.. and it's nice.. ty and pam going to psa after the lunch, so i went to my translation lecture.. and kel went to lab to wait for his next lesson.. and i rmbr i forgot to bring my work to lecture!! i spent one day doing it but i forgot it!!! anw, borrowed from bh, and from my stil quite fresh memory, i did my translation again on the spot, coz bh din complete it all. woot.. teacher gave us his ideal answer sheet and bh said mine resembled teachers'! woot~!
Went to the chi lexi lecture after that, and it's another tiring session.. only looking forward to meeting pam n ty after the lect.. den very soon, the lesson ended! we went to the deck and ate at lerk thai's. woo i love the ambiance there.. very cosy and nice.. not much ppl oso.. coz it's alr 6 something. we ordered quite a lot and it's nice.. aha.. den we sat down and tok.. a lot to laugh about.. and only then did i notice, i haven laugh until like that in NUS before.. it's like a dream to hav pam n ty in NUS with me.. i wonder how will it be like if we're in the same sch.. but we aren't and it's sad.. the whole campus seemed more livelier and cozy with them.. i miss those times.. it's been so lonely in sch alone.. i haven found the childish me for a long time.. we ordered coffee from olio cafe's.. chat until 8 something.. den went to as7's printing lab.. ha.. one userid can serve 3 pcs the same time.. lol.. so i print my notes and ty and pam surf online watching movies and handsome guys.. lol.. realli not like wat i can see in the usual sch.. stayed until 9 something.. the ppl gotta close the lab.. so we took bus and train home..
Wed.. i am late for my tutorial.. bh reserved a seat for me.. and i came in so at the last min that the tutor asked me to intro myself.. ah.. kinda ps.. coz she asked me wat's my name.. i told her.. den she asked me to describe my name.. wat can i describe???? 廖。。。婉。。。妍.. for god's sake, create something fancy out of this for me.. i think she did this to me becoz i'm late.. anw, the girl beside me helped me a bit, telling me wat i should say for the tutor.. she looked like Bethia.. n i think she's msian from her tone.. jus looking forward for the lesson to end..

Woot~! The connection rocks big time! 10Mbps Unlimited! i can save myself from the trouble of tackling wireless from unknown, unreliable wireless providers.. and i am so connected now. u wun see me dc again! woot~~! i dun have to run around the house looking for the best feng shui for the wireless. i can just savvy myself by sitting on where i wanna see and get hooked up. =D
Anyway, several things regarding the week.
On monday, after jap lecture, stayed in sch for lunch with HJ and Al. we went to the deck.. and hj ordered jap food, and al n me tried the noodle from the new noodle store.. cost only $1.80 for a very big serving, but my conclusion is, it smells like cockroach. no choice, but force the food down. den hj got lesson at 1pm so al and me went to the lab. he need to do his lab report. and we're discussing abt some upcoming movies and watched a few clips from youtube den i gotta go for tuition le. ok, my tutee said she left the book in her grandma's house, which i assumed she did it on purpose, coz she din complete my homework. i dun understand, if u dun wan to do tuition homework, den dun have tuition in the first place la! why waste money. but din care, it's my pay day.
Ironically, my pay day, half gone to my piano fees. It's fees day oso. LOL. plus, i advanced to book two of that legendary older beginner's piano book. and it cost me $84 in total. ouch. but for the love of it, it's stil worth it. learnt two new songs.. getting harder..
Tuesday, had that cute sensei's lesson for jap tut.. u noe who he is.. aha.. after the lesson, ty coming to nus for lunch! haha.. so we meet her at the busstop.. al went for his lesson at sc, so kel joined us to wait for pam to come.. at first wanted to give ty surprise, coz we intend to buy her a laptop case, but she buy alr.. LOL. so we have to forget about the script we intended to act out for the surprise.. ah.. haha.. so we had the nice indonesian chicken set meal.. and it's nice.. ty and pam going to psa after the lunch, so i went to my translation lecture.. and kel went to lab to wait for his next lesson.. and i rmbr i forgot to bring my work to lecture!! i spent one day doing it but i forgot it!!! anw, borrowed from bh, and from my stil quite fresh memory, i did my translation again on the spot, coz bh din complete it all. woot.. teacher gave us his ideal answer sheet and bh said mine resembled teachers'! woot~!
Went to the chi lexi lecture after that, and it's another tiring session.. only looking forward to meeting pam n ty after the lect.. den very soon, the lesson ended! we went to the deck and ate at lerk thai's. woo i love the ambiance there.. very cosy and nice.. not much ppl oso.. coz it's alr 6 something. we ordered quite a lot and it's nice.. aha.. den we sat down and tok.. a lot to laugh about.. and only then did i notice, i haven laugh until like that in NUS before.. it's like a dream to hav pam n ty in NUS with me.. i wonder how will it be like if we're in the same sch.. but we aren't and it's sad.. the whole campus seemed more livelier and cozy with them.. i miss those times.. it's been so lonely in sch alone.. i haven found the childish me for a long time.. we ordered coffee from olio cafe's.. chat until 8 something.. den went to as7's printing lab.. ha.. one userid can serve 3 pcs the same time.. lol.. so i print my notes and ty and pam surf online watching movies and handsome guys.. lol.. realli not like wat i can see in the usual sch.. stayed until 9 something.. the ppl gotta close the lab.. so we took bus and train home..
Wed.. i am late for my tutorial.. bh reserved a seat for me.. and i came in so at the last min that the tutor asked me to intro myself.. ah.. kinda ps.. coz she asked me wat's my name.. i told her.. den she asked me to describe my name.. wat can i describe???? 廖。。。婉。。。妍.. for god's sake, create something fancy out of this for me.. i think she did this to me becoz i'm late.. anw, the girl beside me helped me a bit, telling me wat i should say for the tutor.. she looked like Bethia.. n i think she's msian from her tone.. jus looking forward for the lesson to end..

Tutorials finally started
Been a busy week, since most of the tutorials have started.
Everyone's complaining about jap 3, and saying they're not intending to take jap4. Personally, i think it's still fun, but the workload is kinda terrible. 4 days of jap and for each lesson, be it lecture, you oso gotta do some work or be prepared for it. For the past vacation, i was thinking how days can breeze off in front of me. now, the days zoom pass when i was looking at pieces of paper in front of me and when i haven even realise, it's another week.
Shall share a little bit about sch this week.
On monday, was the jap lecture. taught by 堀江先生。she is good, as everyone taught by her will comment. but her lectures are getting heavier. instead of one chapter per week, she's starting to have 1.5 chapters per week from next week. and for each lecture, we'll have lecture quiz. so though it has webcast, we must still be there. but it's good la, can get to see all frens. HJ, Al, Kel, Jas, PH, BH.
After the lecture, i am free, but having tuition at 3.30, i can only stay for lunch and rush back home to rest a bit then have piano at 7.30. at least, monday is something i do look forward to.
On tuesday, had our first jap TA tut. it was 岡田先生. ha i think he's cute. i duno how to describe how cute he is, but when you get him to teach u, u will think he's cute. haha, and i think girls enjoy his lessons but not guys. XD In this TA, recognise a few frens, got Al, Kel, Rb, JY, Abln.... den we have quiz on TA. and project group forming. our project group will be spending a particular monday on month of october and bring local jap pri6 students to some war memorial museum and have interviews and lunch with them. so our group formed, is Al, Kel, JY, Adl(JY's fren) and me. JY told me he's doin shared major between jap studies and cl, so we can take modules together next time. wo cool..
Too bad, babe HJ had class for this TA slot, so she had the one after, and she got 浜崎先生 for class, but in her class and project group, she got Jas, PH, and Dn(the very loud and funny HK boy)..
For that break after the TA, went to sim with kel to look for pam and gang to have lunch together. gotta rush back to sch before 2pm, so we hurried here and there, den pam n kel went home, but i went back to sch. and i recalled it's raining so very heavily then and there's a terrible car accident somewhere in front of sim. i like sim's ban mee.
Rush back to sch to have the basic translation lecture, ok it's still not bad at least, but it's scary coz the lecturers like to randomly call out names. and we have to shout out our translated verse to him so the whole lecture can criticise. haiyo. den this lecture got set up a forum for ppl to participate and it's counted in our CA, but i din post anything yet. i duno what i can post. maybe say "i agree, or not agree" to each and every post. LOL. is that participating?
After the lecture, got another chi lexi lecture. ok this lecture the class size is pathetically small (no more than 30), and sure u bet all the ppl in this class are cl majors coz it's lv 3 module. so far what the lecturer covered is what has been taught in the lv1 introductory cl module.. hmmm.. like that one oh.. den the exam is oso open book. i wonder how scary will the exam be. by the time i reached home, it's alr 6pm and i recalled doing nth but drop dead on bed.
On wed, got geo tut at 12, so meet kel and we went to the earth lab for the first time. nice comfy lil place, and i bet most of the ppl there are year ones, coz it's introductory module. i like the prof, prof chang.. he's a very humorous person, always having a sweater wrapped around his neck though he nv wear it. his sense of humor is strong n i nv fall asleep in his class. but he is teaching us human geo.. currently touching on issues of geographical imaginations and globalisation.. i wonder how nice it'd be to have such a tutor for GP. sure everyone can score well, coz he jus have the ability to bring out all these dry stuff so interestingly.
After the class, went to jap TB tutorial. our teacher this time is 浅原先生. wa.. she is a very strict and stern teacher, who can rap jap, and though our performance is not bad alr, she demands us more, to speak like local japanese and her english is very pro. heard from HJ she was an eng lit or jap lit major. no wonder.. den she came in to class, ask us randomly to ask her a question each. dat kel go and ask her how old she is.. zzz.. not a gd start.. she a bit fuming.. answered, i was once 23. den ppl ask her where she live, she said somewhere near orchard. ppl ask her got child or not, she said got a twin. very "impressive". take this word literally for its meaning. so dis class, got Al, Kel, Jas, PH, BH, Abln, and a few familiar faces whom i duno their name.
On thur, went to the chi lit lecture at 12 again and i like this lecturer coz he knew what we wun know so he taught us from there. a lot of 文言文, but he taught us well enough that everyone said this module is interesting. so what we're learning? brief introduction of 诗经、论语、战国策、庄子& etc, currently on 楚辞。readings are a lot, but understandable and useful.
After the lect, met up wif hj and kel to have lunch at mac's and studied a bit. then they went for their TC class and i went home. My jap TC tut is on friday morn, not thur evening. For kel n hj's TC, they got 堀江先生, and they think she's fun and great.
On fri, for the TC tut, meet up with Al and our class is very squeezy and small. got a few ppl i know too, got Al, Rb, Rk, Adm, Sdy, and familiar faces. Sdy surprisingly very quiet. i duno why. but our teacher, is 浜崎先生.. so we hit all 4 different teachers.. but al complained he wanted 堀江先生 so much, but din get her. HJ wanted 岡田先生, but she oso din get it. so this is life. the more you wan it, the more u wun get it.
After the tut, went to geo lecture, so meet up with El and HY. den it's another fun lecture, and after the lecture, went to have lunch with El at the deck, and start our project discussion. HY got tut, so she came to join us later. and our discussion was fruitful. now we knew wat we can do now. that's great. we aim to finish the proj before midterm break. 加油加油!
As for the basic translation, we gotta form a project group too, got MT(call her Rain), Vr & Jsl(2 year ones), and one secretive guy called Ang. no one initiate the task, so i contacted them, set up a community and we said we upload our translated text there before we discuss on sunday. still, no one replied. lol. maybe not till the very last min, no one will be worried. ah.. whatever the case, i shall jus be passive and do what i feel like doing in the group wk. it's not like i nv tried. and it's not like everyone wun be getting that same piece of group result. so.. jus set course and let the river flow.. i dun care abt the steering yet.
Hope everything turns out well.
Later got tuition... T.T and meeting TY at nite for dinner at bugis. no time to study le! jia you jia you!!!
