thursday. tuition. i hope the kids pay attention. yesterday was busy, but uneventful, fortunately. morning saw a lot of action and anxiety registering for the stupid tutorials through the even more stupid cors. luckily i managed to do so. i got in earlier than fish and boon. it's very lucky already. fish's lesson was at the same time as mine, though different places. we went to school together and talked nonsense on the train. it was plenty of fun. i love my phone! hers is the same make, but white colour. i think black is so cool. heehee! i was just on time for my lesson, with noe excess time left cos i didn't reach that early. the lift was faulty. it kept flashing the OUT OF SERVICE sign from time to time. there is no way i'd climb up 6 floors. i won't be able to concentrate after that. so i went to take the lift at S16 instead. all fine. lesson was fine too. at first i couldn't get into the study mode, but i think our lecturer is really good. he's organized and the ideas flow well and logically, so it's easy to follow him. great! the honours orientation was low profile and easy. bao's laptop couldn't connect to the internet but we told him it wouldn't be necessary. everything's on the web, we can look at it by ourselves. we chatted for an hour or so, got to know more about the hons project. yanying's cap is 4.4 something, which is very good. i have a little headstart for now. i hope i can keep up the good work and improve further as well. julian's cap was 3.62 or what, i can't remember. i should aim for a first class honour. i really ought to. i want to. i hope i can. i must not be complacent! they told me to consider graduate studies. for the first time, i'm thinking about it. if i score well enough, should i aim for graduate research at NUS? or go overseas? julian said that if you want to go to the states you'll need to take some exam in october or november, something like that. i never thought of that. this is quite a rush indeed. i never thought that much. i must keep my eyes open for overseas education fairs. mom and sugarpie and i went to ritz-carlton after that. garreth is so tall now! he's grown so much. and he's a handsome boy now. he looks like sankin when he smiles. actually i think all the kids look like her. gilbert has such a pretty face, but he's spoilt and annoying. i hope he changes for the better as he grows up. he is just like jessica when she was young. exactly the same. except for, as sankin puts it, jessica was fat as a kid. but she's all beautiful now, isn't she? i only see them once in i-dunno-how-many-years. i should go and wash up, and start studying. i must revise what the lecturer went through yesterday. then after tuition i ought to continue on my project. till then! posted by Yee 9:58 AM . . .
