Letters to my future self

21st aug - the new semester

god, i didnt realise its been over 1 month since i made my last post. but honestly, life here is stagnanting and there isnt really much to write about.

if anything, in the past month, i've finally realised and acknowledged that i'm addicted to the internet. there was a couple of days some 2 weeks ago whereby the roadworks outside on the mainroad interfered with the connection, resulting into a downtime of 2 days for my internet connection. during those 2 days, i suddenly had too much time in hand, i didnt realise how much of my time is actually spent online (well, actually i did, but i didnt realise it was that much). even still, its probably something that i wont be looking forward to changing, without the internet or wow, i probably would have died of boredom here or or wasted that time (in money) in a club or casino.

and... so... new term has started. i actually like this sem better then the last. last sem had too many theory based subjects, ultimate boredom. even worse when it comes to writting assignments. this sem is slightly different, i have food and beverage service as a module, which teaches how restaurants are run and managed. its a practical class and in a couple of weeks time, i'll be required to begin work as waiting staff/managers of the training restaurant in the university.

also this semester i have accounting. while its not something to be extremely excited about, i can safely say, nothing beats pure theory modules in terms of boredom lvls. i'm getting abit sick of having to answer questions that dont have a yes nor a no answer. which basically meant for every point u make u have to support with evidence. accounting is so much easier, yes or no, right or wrong.

i also have a couple of lectures this sem that are conducted by very happening lecturers. the kind of lectures that i dont have to keep chewing on gum to keep myself awake. my emplyment relations lecture is more like a big scale debate, very interesting to see so many varying PoVs from ppl from different countries or even from the same country.

i'm beginning to miss singapore, not really singapore singapore, but i miss some places (i actually miss orchard road, omg!), i miss my family, friends, that kinda stuff =(

3 more months to go!
