Uni life has just begun..

Yet thankfully life isnt all that routine and mundane...

Just finished one week of lectures and tutorials and i must say tutorials are a whole lot more fun than lectures.. (duh~)

Japanese Studies Tutorial --- AS4/0335 --- 1100 - 1200
The concept seemed a little strange to me at first..
A really small class..with people from every faculty and every year all cramped into a tiny little room..
A small-sized jap guy walks into the class and introduces himself by writing on the board "osamU Yamazaki" (yes he did write the "U" extra big) obviously hoping to erase any wise cracks about his name..
Had to find project mates later and immediately Gina "claimed" a friend because the other guy, Jeremy, was planning to major in econs..just like her..
Along with Jeremy, we roped in our jap exchange student, Sachio Suzuki, who was beside Jeremy..
Throughout the few minutes that we spent discussing when and where to meet Gina kept laughing at Sachio's mannerisms and speech like he was some specimen..
Poor Sachio..i hope he doesnt think Gina is some sort of freak..haha..just kidding my darling gina!

Literature Tutorial --- AS5/0309 --- 1000 - 1200
ok i gotta admit..this tutorial was pretty normal..
except i clarified my idea that my tutor was married (which he wasnt due to an absence of a wedding ring) and michele pointed out that my tutor was rather effiminate..haha..
and oh yes..speaking of michele..she embarrassed herself on the very first tutorial..heehee..
and im wondering if i should re-visit the incident again on this blog..
Mishie moo moo cow if ure reading this leave me a stamp of approval or disapproval in my taggie yeah?
Other than these..class pretty much dragged on for the entire two hours..
ohhhhh..i did find this girl who was just as annoying as Julia from my first three months class at SRJC..
unfortunately..i forgot her name..but i didnt forget her face..haha.. *evil laugh*

South East Asian Studies Tutorial --- AS3/0620 --- 1100 - 1300
First of all, let me start by complaining that this is the damn reason why i dont have a three day week..and why i have to come all the way back to school for two hours on a FRIDAY...
shucks..we wanted to get the slot for this tutorial on wednesday afternoon but alas it was not meant to be..
but thankfully this tutorial is only on odd weeks which means effectively i have a three and a half day week..which is still..excellent =)

ok..so the teacher walks in and guess who?
its the guy who didnt understand a word we were saying when we were explaining why we couldnt hand in our tutorial forms and the guy who was behind me and mishie when we were sleeping during lecture..ahahaha
and he's so absolutely funny when it comes to pronouncing names!!!
he's Thai so he's got a problem with our names..
Lionel become "Leo-nell" and Gina became "gin-na" (think hokkien)
ahahahhaa..it was hilarious..the class burst out laughing when he mispronounced Gina's name..to make it worse..me and mishie kept calling her that so i think we gave him the impression that its actually pronounced that way..
but besides that..he's a pretty funny guy..but i think we may encounter problems with this language situation..according to michele..he wasnt much help when her group asked him a question regarding their tutorial question..
fortunately for my group (which I really thank God that im with Gina) me and Roy did history before so we aint that lost..i think..i hope..heehee
and finally..our tutor doesnt know how to use the IVLE..

so yeah..school's been rather interesting so far..
i think really its because of the friends and excellent company..
to my darling Gina and mishie moo moo cow..i love you two..
without you two in just about all my modules and tutorials..i think i would have a really crappy start to uni life..
and im most happy to be you guys' secretary!

and finally..
uni life wouldnt be complete without our fair share of eye candy right?
*Kat looks at Gina and michele cheekily*
but unfortunately for us..the Arts population has no lack of pretty girls but a serious shortage of eye candy..
but fortunately..gina and mishie have found their eye candy..heehee..this much i shall disclose..for more information..dig it out from them!

I want ben and jerry's!
