Just more happenings (probably better said as update)

I cant even find a decent title for this entry and thus the stated title..

Besides the party I went to last nite, things are just school-ish thru n thru.

I finally got to see my Psych tutor and I must say, he looks like FRODO from LOTR!! Some Briton with a real heavy accent. We did experiments that involved rubber hands and rubbing of noses. (Ask me for the details..) I was expecting him to go thru the term paper qns cos they were really hard but he did not. Forget it, looks like I will have to overstretch my brain then, again. Somehow I hardly said a single word for that lesson's class participation, which is VERY unlike me. I contribute and say the lots of stuff for my other tutorials but not for his. Its sad rite.. Dunno why leh.. See how it goes next even week.

Then there's the weekly Eng tut. I contributed in class as usual but I got more than just a "Yes, thats what it is" from answering the tutor.
==> Apparently, some gal from my class asked the tutor a qn, and the tutor asked the class to contribute and answer her query. I happened to be the first to comment and the tutor was satisfied with my answer. I thot tt was it. Strangely, the whole class was scratching their heads over my answer and requested that I paraphrased it. Ok I probably spoke too fast as usual so I went slower. After the paraphrase, I still hear "huhs" and see ppl scratching their heads!! Then I hear whispers of my name and ppl just started calling me to explain my answer to them again. After my explanation to them personally, one at a time, they finally got it! And the look in their eyes was like "Hey he is the guy with the quirky yet correct answer"...

OMG!! So embarrassing..... Much as I love English lessons, I never did ask for such attention. I dun even noe if ppl will remember me cos my answer was good, or cos it was so quirky that I gotta explain time and again to them individually when they asked me.. Well somehow the tutor understood and liked it. Guess its just some time lag before the rest got to appreciate it too.

Then there's the essay... I so desperately wanna get a good grade for my first writing essay. And I really think I know what Prof wants, thus I worked pretty hard for this essay. The essay was due for conferencing on Friday at 9a.m. And I only got my peer edits at like 6pm. Then I went to crash NTU with a friend and reached home only at 12; after which I chionged the essay till 2+ (Ok it's my own doing, and I shld have came home earlier to be a nerd). Anyway I chionged it till 2+ and I really couldnt feel the brain juice moving anymore thus the sleep till 730 where I rushed to school and submitted it.

The worse thing was after submission of the essay at 9, I was so beat I took a bus home again to sleep.. (Piggish instinct, hardly controllabe) and woke at 1230 for the next lesson which starts at 2. Some of the silly acts of desperation which amazes me... I thot of skipping the 2pm lesson, cos there will be a webcast but I had more than just lessons to go to, thus I went to school anyway.

After the 2pm lesson, I met my writing mod prof (the prof who I was rushing work for), along with some other classmates for a gathering. So cool to have a mthly gathering. So we talked about things, general knowledge and all. The vibes of intelligence really exudes from profs..

Then I attended Choon Huat's party. Its really thoughtful of him to seat me with his friends so I wont be a lonely soul there. And its really great that there is a KTV room in his condo. The cake was durian (sinfully good!) and yeah the ppl were cool. Then we dunked him into the pool, after much deliberation cos we did not know how to get him out of the room. Anyway we did it. I must say the pool looked deceivingly deep.

I just recalled that I gotta take driving lessons soon, cos my next test is, I think December. I cant even recall the bloody date cos Im not looking forward to it. Never did like driving, especially with some guy next to me, ocassionally ranting away. Anyway if I dun get it thru this time, I probably will wait till late next year. The license is a sickening piece of reward dangling high up, which Im compelled to work for. But with it comes great power.. Muhahahahaha..

Well there're more details but I think this entry is becoming too long for an update. Even I am getting tired trying to squeeze out memories. Back to psych now...
