So now polytechnic had started for the poly students, including me. I haven't updated about my life here yet. So, yeah, that's what i'm going to do. Right now, i'm at Singapore Poly's Main Library with guangyi. School ended and we're waiting for waimin and ruwen so that we can meet up and go walk walk, so i guess i should just write a quick post now. I would love to put in some picures that i've taken of the GYSS alumni bonding session which we had last saturday, but i don't have the cable now and it'll take up too much time even if i do.

Saturday - GYSS Alumni Bonding
So the gyss alumni had a bonding session last saturday in school. Played "Running Man". In this game, we were divided into 2 teams: The mission team and the chasing team. The mission team was supposed to find 5 magazines while the chasing team was supposed to stop the mission team from doing so by catching them before they find the magazines. We used walkie talkies to communicate (no idea where they got it from) and it was interesting but at the same time annoying especially when people like weijian just love to spam noise. Luck told me to be in the chasing team but i appealed and switched with someone in the mission team. And i got into the mission team.

I found one magazine due to tessa giving me obvious hints. The other team members found another magazine. It was fun. In the end, we somehow won. Feedbacked. So for the next bonding session, guangyi and joshua would be planning.

Went to eat at Long John Silver although i was beginning to have sore throat, and then went to play pool at AMK. Felt super tired halfway and went home.

Sunday - Shopping with Sister
Went to orchard to shop with sister. For once, even though i had sore throat, i tried out this ice cream cake thing which didn't taste all that nice but was super expensive. It would have been great if it was purely a cake. Bought famous amos cookies for the second time of my life. Even though i was having sore throat. For the whole shopping trip, only sis really shopped, but i just accompanied her around. Saw waimeng, congxu, chuanying and yvette (poly classmates) there. Coincidence. Anyway, towards the end of the day, went to kinokuniya and bought "The Secret", a book about the law of attraction and how to use it to help you make your life better. Took a bus to NEX after that, but at the bus stop while waiting for the bus, saw hweehong (secondary school classmate) and caught up abit.

Went to NEX and tried shui yan she, a bubbletea. Their smoothie is not so nice. Bought a laptop case and then headed home. Rested and then slept to prepare for school the next day.

Monday - First Day
Woke up at 6am in the morning and the first thing i did was to be as optimistic as possible because The Secret says that positive thoughts attract positive events. Did the usual morning routines (make coffee, leave the coffee to cool while i change clothes, pack back, drink coffee slowly, sit and do nothing until the time to leave is just right). I'm enjoying this routine actually. Headed off for school after that.

MRT was super squeezy i couldn't even move my bag to take my book out to read o_o

Reached school at 7.45 and then went to our General Education class with stefanie and elijah (poly classmates) because only we three from the same DTVM class (DTVM/FT/1A/02) were in the same general eduction class (yes, they've decided to separate us for this module which the whole SP had to take, i suppose). Surprisingly, GenEd (short form for general education) was quite fun. The first session was introduction to the module. It is sort of an all-rounder subject where we learn a bit about everything, such as environment, media, etc. But the first session was merely introduction to one another in class.

Homework: Research and prepare to discuss in front of the class about your favourite star and a big news about him/her. Don't know what i can do, i know nothing about singers and stuff. Maybe i should really do research.

After GenEd, we had Writing Across Media Platforms. It was rather interesting, as in we had already really started to learn stuff. 2 hours break. Ate at the steps near the food court and the multi-purpose field because the food court was super packed, almost like the MRT. After eating, slacked around and then went to have our third lecture of the day, a four hours lecture, about Visual Communications. The lecturer made us touch a rock, and then a crystal, and then told us that if we want to transform from a rock to a crystal, we have to endure the heat. Learnt a little bit about the content, watched many videos and after that the lecturer decided to let us play around with the cameras :D which was kind of fun. After that, went home because it was 6pm.

Tuesday - Second Day
7am, waking up in the morning~

School was at 9am. Just a three hours tutorial about deconstructing television. The most dull lesson so far. Still, we watched lots of videos and did some discussion and stuff. Maybe the subject of discussion just doesn't appeal to me, though i don't hate the TV and radios, which is what we discussed about. History of TV and stuff.

Wednesday
School was at 12pm. Had another 3 hours tutorial, which passed by kind of fast. It was an interesting session about Story Classics: Heroes, Myths and Legends. Discussed about heroes today. Firstly, a class discussion about what we think heroes are, and then a group discussion about the common characteristics of heroes, then individual essay about who we think our personal heroes are and why we consider them heroes. So, the session was mostly hero hero hero. It was actually interesting.

And after class, went to meet guangyi and ate super late lunch together because all i ate in the morning was 2 sandwiches and i didn't eat lunch. Went to the main library and here i am :)
