THE END OF THE BEGINNING...

1st week of poly is over. Dead tired. Just came back from Anderson to collect my O-level cert. I guess that officially marks the ending of whatever connections I had with the O-levels.

The modules I'm currently taking are ok I guess. Computing Maths hasn't kicked into crazy mode so I'm enjoying it for now. Business Communications is going to be a freaking easy A. It's just English all over again. Essential IT is going to be super-easy too. Its just basics in Micrsoft Office. I must get a GPA of 4. ARGH!!!

The week was not as tough as I had expected it to be. Most of my tutorials were cut short as there was nothing to be tutored on. Breaks can be quite boring. Nothing to talk to my classmates about. I remember back in Anderson, I could talk to anybody about anything under the sun. I really miss talking to Sundaram and Wei Jian about politics and war. I know it might seem dumb but these are things which are important to me. I doubt any of my current classmates would be partially interested in the Iran nuclear standoff or the need for the US to be in Iraq. I miss taking pot shots at people in school. None of the guys in class would understand the first harmless insult I make about the dumb situation they're in.

Here's a political quickie. The GE is coming up. Give me one good reason why you should vote for the opposition. The PAP has an elite group of politicians who understand the importance of their role in the community. Some of the opposition MPs can't even speak English properly. For those of you voting for the opposition : "Do you realise that there has been zero upgrading in opposition-held estates?!" How dumb can you be? Even the monkeys in Macritchie would vote for the PAP if they were asked to. Some people say the PAP are just too selfish for re-drawing the the electoral boundaries so that they will have stronger voter strength. Let me make it clear. You could ask the same monkey to draw up the electoral boundaries and the PAP would still win majority vote. It's just that simple. The PAP always win because they are that damn good.

I'm leaving today at that. If the short political view I posted above has crossed the line on any laws or rulings about commenting on the GE please email me and I will kindly bring it down.

I mean totally no offence for the comments published above. I apologise for any misunderstanding.

I.T. BEGINS...

Well, I guess it couldn't possibly last that long. I mean, staying at home doing nothing for 3 months is quite boring. Teaching the kids at MINDS was fun, but I just miss studying. I mean really. I do miss studying.

Don't ask me to say anything about orientation. I never liked orientations and I will never like them. I'm the only Malay guy in my class so that means for the next 3 years I'm not obliged to mix around that much, but what the heck, I'm going to anyway.

First day is going to suck like hell for me. Let me show you what I have on Monday.

0800-0950 : Data Structures and Programming Techniques (Tutorial)
1010-1200 : Essentials of Infocomm Technology (Tutorial)
1205-1255 : Lunch
1300-1350 : Web Application Development (Lecture)
1400-1450 : Data Structures and Programming Techniques (Lecture)
1510-1600 : Break
1610-1800 : Accounting Fundamentals (Tutorial)

Holy shit. Monday is going to be a freaking long day. Thank God its only the easy modules. You do not want to see Computing Maths. Lets just say its Anderson A-Maths revisited. The Horror...

Luckily I only have 1 long day. Tuesdays are okay, Wednesdays last from 8-10 so no complaints there. Thursdays and Fridays are about the same. I hope I can survive the first semester. If I do, then poly is going to be one easy trip.

...

Before I go, I'd just like to say I freakin miss Anderson. It's where I made most of my closest friends. I knew I had a purpose there. Getting 15 points wasn't easy, but I knew I had to do it for myself, the school and the people around me. That's why going to poly is freaking me out. Losing that purpose of fulfilment is really making me realize what I had at Anderson. I miss making people laugh and smile. I thought I would never say it, but damn, I miss 4/4 and Anderson. May those memories rest forever in our hearts and minds.

ONWARD ANDERSONIANS!
