One week of school

Yeah, I've completed a week of school!

Been running around alot for the admin stuff as well. I really find that they are inefficient. For example, I had to apply for 5 different cards:
1) Student card (to prove that u're a student?)
2) Exam card (yeah, just to take exams)
3) Library card (to borrow books)
4) Access card ( to be able to walk around school and enter labs)
5) Photocopying card (to be able to use the photocopying machines).

Back in NUS, 1 matriculation card was used to do all of the above, its so silly, cant they just put all of it into 1 card?

Back to my classmates.. today the teacher walked in with sets of registration details, put it on the table and asked those who dun have it to take it after class. 1 itchy hand went to reach for a set, and suddenly, all the others rushed down and were clamouring for it. The whole set of papers fell to the ground in the huge commotion and everyone lurched forward for the holy sheets. It was a huge mess and I saw that some of those that managed to grab a copy, was a crumpled set of copy.

Huh?? It was only registration details which is already on the website!

U know what, to put it nicely, it looks like a scene from great singapore sale when everyone was grabbing the discount item. In actual fact, it reminded me of those scenes where helicopters dropped food to famine hit countries and everyone fights for food at the ground level.

I was already walking to get the paper as well when the entire episode happened, but i just freezed in my tracks.

Another incident. One guy asked me to guess where he was from (after assuming I was from China). I guessed, Pakistan? Bangladesh? Indian?

He grinned and said no to all, said its just 1 more country. I was thinking of Nigeria, but nay, he looks abit fair.. then he proudly announced he was from Iran. Yar, they have a huge community here as well..

OK, i better go back to revising. Lots of work to catch up. For those who were doing EE , can u all still remember Fourier Transform, Poles and Zeros, Filters? Sigh...

Meanwhile, here's another pix i took today, like the wintry trees..:) Oh yar, my classroom faces the sea, and its a dropdown glass window, so its so easy to daydream and just gaze out to the sea during lectures, haha..
