College

Day 2 of college has passed and I'm doing good. My two classes I've had so far consisted of more than 100 people. Social Behaviour Studies(SBS) was alright, we have already been given a group assignment even on the first day. Techniques of Professional Speaking and Writing(TPSW) was today and boy is this lecturer unpredictable. We were talking about our Oral Presentation upon handing up a Written Report when he suddenly asked how he could determine how good our written English was. We ended up writing a simple essay about 250-300 words long titled 'Why did I choose Mass Comm', and told we could leave after handing up our essay. Presentation tomorrow! I feel like I'm going bald already. Ahhhhh. D:

p/s : I have 3 people to hang out with now. 3 and counting!

Hana tool set


First day of college tomorrow afternoon.

From here on starts a new chapter.
Wish me luck?

p/s : In case you didn't know; Hana means 1 in Korean, Tool is 2 and Set is 3.

"That's it.
Just keep on behaving
as if nothing is wrong.
That's the way."

Smile


It hits once again, that smile.
The one thing that has the ability to light up an entire room
with the mere flexing of some muscles.

It's not about your hair falling over your forehead,
nor your eyes hiding behind your fringe.

Just pulling back your lips and the flashing of your teeth.
It's enough to make others feel tons better.

White, black and other

'What have you become?'


That's a question I ask myself fairly often these days. Just watching the people around me now, it doesn't take much to realize how different they are right now compared to when I first met them.



Take Jackson for instance. I met him in church a few years back if I remember correctly. Got to know him better when we were in the outreach team for a camp. At first he was this quiet guy who didn't have anything to say in particular. Even asking him a question might not have earned you an answer. Then later on, bit by bit, we got to know Jackson as quite a joker. Now, he is one of the few people I know who can make people crack up just by his facial expression.



It can get frustrating, trying to figure out why certain people behave a certain way when their actions/words/thoughts make no sense whatsoever from your point of view.


But then again, if we have trouble with who we are ourselves what right have we to question the actions/words/thoughts of others?


Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

Why then is a tiger known to be orange-brown with black stripes and a white tummy?

If the plural of 'mouse' is 'mice', why isn't the plural of 'house' 'hice'?

Why can't I do anything but watch you hurt your own self?


Side note :
Jackson's answer to my question regarding zebras was and I quote, "They might not be black and white after all, who knows? They could be transparent!"


"Oh and this is but the tip of the iceberg."

Heh

I've recently been down with a fever, irritating cough and an endless come-and-go-as-it-pleases flu. Am much better now cause I refuse to sleep too much in case I get lethargic.


I drove todayyyy. Ahahhahahha. It was interesting. And I haven't even gotten my L license yet. Did turns, balanced the oil and clutch, changed gears, reverse parking. My instructor says I should address him as
Uncle Fong. Hah! He's not bad, said I learned my reverse parking procedures faster than anyone he's ever taught. Cute, in a elderly sort of way kind of cute. I'm so proud. My engine died 3 times though; twice while I was doing my parking cause I didn't step on the clutch fully, the other was when I let my clutch go too fast while trying to balance the oil and clutch. My left leg went numb towards the end, but it was all good. We had a few laughs in the car. Oh and btw, even though it says '3 Jam Amali' meaning a lesson for 3 hours, after he went to the toilet and supervised his other 2 students taking the JPJ test today plus how much earlier we came back from my lesson, I think the lesson only took about 2 and a half hours at most. More lessons please! :D

p/s : My student pass has been approved! Will be going down to Singapore to make my payment and get my medical check-up done.
