had first day of school yesterday. had "Communicating Design Ideas", otherwise known as ComDI. not bad, got to meet some new people and make new friends. but there's this irritating girl in the class who can't seem to stop voicing out her opinions. whenever the lecturer asks a question she's always trying to answer. it's not a bad thing, but after a while it's like, can you please shut your mouth for five minutes?! when the lecturer asks a question and she doesn't answer, it's pretty obvious to everyone that she doesn't know the answer, so talking too much does have it's disadvantages. also, we were given an assignment (on the first day! what the heck, no mercy...) whereby we have to research icons and find out what makes an icon an icon. and this girl kept asking if she could use anime. i mean, SHUT UP! her voice is so freaking irritating with her fake slang. and she kept asking until in the end the lecturer gave up and just said she could. guess he thought that since this first assignment wouldn't be graded there's no point in continuing to suffer needlessly listening to her irritating voice.

after the class (we were released one and a half hour early to look for icons), my new friends and i had lunch and headed to tampines mall. we didn't really do much though. we just walked around and ended up in the food court thinking of what we should do. my group decided on doing macdonalds and kfc, and i'm not quite sure what the other group did. doesn't matter. haha. so, yeah, we sat there not doing much, and in the end we headed to the arcade for pool. two of the girls left and we played only a while before leaving. i seriously suck at pool. these two guy were like, pros, doing what seemed to be impossible shots for me, although they both lost one game each due to bad luck. white ball went in after the black one. out of us four, i was like the worst. haha.

went to expo today for a carnival for "Family Day". Sun Ho gave us a concert. too bad, i would've been a fan if i could understand chinese well. but CHC still loves Sun, despite the fact that among us there are many english-centred people. Milk showed up too. i don't really know who is he, but after watching him, i know he can dance. haha.

after the concert the cell group went to eat at the carnival booths. we queued for like an hour plus, due to thhe number of people there. some of us gave up and decided to go somewhere else, so we were left with a total of 7 people after friends from other cell groups joined our table. in the end we had too much food and couldn't finish it so it was like a waste of time and resources. the reason why it took so long was that the church gave everyone $15 worth of coupons each to buy food or play games, so many people ended up buying in bulk, thus the long wait for food. some poor people couldn't buy any after queueing for so long because by the time they reached the front the stock was already out. i managed to cut the queue for one stall selling popcorn chicken, fries, and stuff, because my friend who also happens to be in my group at school was already queueing, so i started quite near the front. but due to preparation time and the bulk of orders they have to take i only managed to get our food after an hour or so.

also, since the rest of the cell group left to eat somewhere else, we were left with a mass of unused coupons. we could have exchanged them for ezone tokens had we realised we could like, five minutes earlier. when we went to the exchange stall they had just closed, so the opportunity to get like, a month's worth of free arcade tokens was gone.

cabbed back home with min and her friend justin. total cost was like, $19.60. justin paid me 6, min paid me 5, and since i was the last person in the cab, i gave the driver the rest. heart ached when i gave him the ten dollar note. been spending too much money nowadays. the week i try to start saving i have to pay this much for cab. ah well, Jehovah Jireh, God is my Provider.

now i'm blogging, and i haven't even done my assignment yet. gonna have to rush it after i finish this post, and wake up early to go to tampines mac at 10 to meet with my group and compile what each of us did into one. my guess is we'll probably be done with it quite fast and end up sitting there and chatting until it's time to leave for school. ah well, better get started in the assignment.
