I always find myself blogging on the bus! Like seriously is my life so hectic till even blogging on the go seems so tough? J2 the time when you start appreciating those free times you used to have when younger.

Life hasnt really been that kind to me! Well Im thankful for having such great friends in school and in church! But seriously my family life sucks right now and I aint gonna do anything bout it. Previous efforts have proved to be futile, might as well use that time to rest and chill for a while. :)

Debates is so fun!

Bah Im really having loads of fun talking to my fellow debaters and crapping with em all the way as it really helps to relieve stress! Lol kinda weird eh? But yeah I actually find it enjoyable to prep and speak during training sessions. Maybe Im just weird. Okay its raining now and the bus seems to be slogging around but weird enough, comparing with time its dam fast!

This weekend is gonna be pretty rushed.. Friday Im down for mentoring a debate team to SMU and Saturday I have a competition, SRC-UMAS which is on international humanitarian aid and later in the day back to SMU! Hopefully everything goes by smoothly :)

This week has been an odd week.
1. When I gave out GP stuff, it was short of a copy and its not the first time..
2. Econs booklet ir was also one short.

It always happens like as though there is 1 person extra..moreover I double-checked the namelist and counted! There is no way there are 23 ppl in the class! Wonder who is the extra..

The world better not end in 2012. Reason being I would have just finished a levels. Truckloads of homework to finish and how I wish my life can be so much easier with photographic memory. I am seriously tired out...

(fell asleep in the bus while typing this)

Im back home! And now Im trying to read up more on exchange rates and purchasing power parity. Hmm.. Life has been really sucky if it comes to say homework! And tests. Like seriously the overlapping of schedules need to stop! I have events overlapping this and that, sometimes 3 events overlap! Weird thing is.. They seem to all come at one go! And how I wish these events could come in a year earlier when I was still in J1 and could still sit at the school cafe and eat ice cream.

This is where I got my title from!
While walking home, it felt like it was autumn. Those gigantic trees that provided a warm canopy for my walk home were like dying! Their leaves were all falling off and the wind swept them in circles towards me and then around me. Man it felt sooo relaxing! Not to mention, the afternoon sun was casting down such warm sunshine onto my face! Few cars on the rod, nobody on the pavement, man it felt no where near Singapore. It was only for a few minutes though. Still, it felt like such a relaxed time! :D

Debates just got a new coach! Ah I forgot his name. Oh great. I just met him yesterday. Oops! :x well coaching style is a lot different from our previous coach, Wee Jia, this one seems A LOT stricter alright! Well it isnt fair to compare content now since we just met him, butttttt I think previous coach was better in terms of understanding and content. Seems A lil suffocating sometimes when he speaks, but I think we will all get used to it soon :)

20 new J1s! Surprisingly. Its a huge group, as compared to like the current 14 J2s that are left.. It just seems like its 6 more, but total numbers have doubled. Which..seems tough to coordinate for a start heeee luckily I dont have to~! Lalalalala :P pretty impressive, the new J1s I would say. Didnt expect them to be so ready to learn. (maybe it might die down over time) ah but they do have quite good content sometimes! Really good for a start :) wonder how its gonna.turn out next time! Hà I so wanna speak more though! Its fun!

I still wanna walk down that same path that I took to get home again! Such a good break from this hectic life of mine. Awesomeness!

Today didnt feel like today.
it felt more like some other day in the week.
like tuesday or wednesday.
no where near friday.

BUT ANYWAYYYYYY

today was SUPER SUNNY! ME LIKE! (Y) and then SUPER RAINY! okay thats not the point.

The highlight of today was the IBM Centennial Lecture! it was held at NUS Law School, the one at Bukit Timah Campus. Let me talk about the lecture first. :) The speaker was the CEO of IBM and he talked about "ideas that shape the century" and that century being the one that we are in. it was more of a "what we did in the past" vs "what we should do in the future" it was pretty interesting i would say. he brought in a lil wee bit of business models and told us about what technology is today, that it is no longer just about that gadgets in our hands. Technology today has the capability of transformation then he went on and on and on about how it has done so as well as its potential in the future!

A large part of the lecture was also about interconnectivity. in the sense of "big data". Data that is gathered from various aspects of the country, such as water catchments, traffic flow, birth rates, all sorts of data. Use these data, and use a supercomputer to generate the optimal outcome. sounds crazy but oh well. frankly speaking, in what way is it going to be optimal man?

other than PJC, there was also HCI. and no other JCs went. We were the only school students present. o.o even the person sitting next to me was like some big shot. haha! when he came in, he reached into his bag..*takes out a book titled "notes" and when i reached into my bag..*takes out PJC foolscap paper. haha!

when the lecture ended, i decided to go look for Charmaine! little did i know that NUS Law campus was not just BIG, but also like a MAZE. like freakin seriously! i was supposed to meet her at the library by the way. she gave me instructions like turn left, walk straight, turn right that kinda thing. and on my first try, i ended up in the toilet. T.T second try left me walking back and forth around the same corridor. The third try, *gives up!* i asked for directions. and wohoo! found the darn library which didnt look like a library! and just so happen, phone was down to 1% battery life. thanks to Sony Ericsson.

so.... we stood around outside the library and talked! whilst being battered by the rain. and.. i didnt know they had vending machines that sold HOT CANS OF DRINKS?!! so awesome!! damit my school needs one of those. i bet the number of students falling asleep in lecture (which includes me) would decrease!

haha upon parting, Charmaine showed me a spot where i could look at that huge tree! just look at the photo below and you will know which tree. bah phone camera quality wasnt that good though. did it with polaroid settings.
the security guard then later came by and asked me
"hey are you schooling here?"
"uh yes? (but later remembers its NUS not PJC) oh wait no."
"um you cant take pictures for security sake."
"whatttt?! oh okay o.o"

oh yeahhhhh and Charmaine NEARLY led me down the wrong flight of stairs to the shuttle bus stop! it was opposite direction summore!!

thats the pic of the tree! rainy day much. :)


wooooooooo! done! :D
