Sometimes it's easier just to pretend you don't have emotions at all.

Thoughts on Y2S1

It has finally come to an end, and here are some takeaways:

(Ripped from freshwallpapers.net)

1) Friendships forged

Humans are social creatures, so I guess I still view this as the most important aspect of my university life. This is a semester whereby I only see my best friend once a week for lessons, so it is quite sad. And we cannot have dinner after lessons as well, because she still has lessons. Hmm.

I'm glad to meet Chermin and Yurong for NM3232, even though I hate the module LOL. Thanks for being my module mates, hehehes at least I don't have to walk into a class and look lost trying to find a corner seat and hide.

Thankful for Jiazi and Vivian P. as well for my NM3219 class. Jiazi offered me a lot of life (?) advices and shared with me many of her experiences, and she is really very nice and all. I am also glad to reconnect with my secondary school mate Vivian, hehehes.

Not forgetting my GET1002 groupmates as well. They are quite a nice bunch, and even though I know we wouldn't meet again, but I am still thankful to have known y'all through this module. You guys have been efficient groupmates, I like. And thanks for bringing laughters towards the end. Cheers to Brenda, Kelly, Jimmy and Eunice.

Special thanks to Dewei because he really advised me alot and helped me to plan my modules when I was feeling like a lost sheep after my exchange application fell through. It is really good to know seniors because they have been through so much shit, so they know what to do. Really glad for this friendship even though we didn't take any modules together this semester.

Special mention to Clement as well. Hehehes, didn't work a lot for events because of school commitments but glad to make a good friend out of it.

Also, thanks to everyone else who stayed by, such as Amanda, Huiqi, Vivian, Longyuan, Ben and JJ and everyone else. Sorry for the late replies everytime, because I was living in a cave suffocated from schoolwork. 

2) Gaining independence

It was three modules alone this semester. I remember at the start, I was choosing modules with uncertainty because I don't want to head to lessons alone. I just hate to be alone LOL.

But I guess circumstances force me to learn to be more independent. I was actually taking two modules with another friend, who apparently went missing in action throughout the entire semester, so it was just me alone. Again. LOL.

I used to secretly hate my friend for 'abandoning' me for lessons, however now, as time passed, I learnt that everyone have their own learning styles, so I guess that it was not right for me to demand and expect them to go your way.

And by now, I'm totally okay with attending lectures or tutorials alone.

And this actually freed up a lot of time because I do things at my own pace, and I plan my own timetable without needing to take into account friends' timetable. :D

3) Met nice professor along the way

I really, really like Ms Tan Ee Lyn although she can be pretty harsh at times. New found respect for her, because despite teaching many modules, she is still on task and ever so efficient. Her turnaround rate for replying to my emails is like within 2h!?! And my emails are not the typical admin questions, but more of asking her to check through my class work.

I scored pretty well for the two modules that I took under her. Hehehes, thanks for putting so much effort and taking time to answer all my queries and correcting my work. :DD

It is sad as I don't think I will ever take lessons under her anymore because she teaches mainly writing modules, but no matter how good the teacher is, I think I have enough of writing already. T.T Hahahaha!

Do not question her fire,
she could startle the monsters
that stop your heart.
