Just when I thought I am settling in with school, another things pop up. Tak habis-habis seh. There seem to be a new vendor in my mum's canteen who is a caterer from some Indian restaurant. Apparently the company is doing a test run to see if this is viable, meaning if it is, they're going to replace the existing stalls now(i.e including my mum's) with that catering company. Fucker. Why ah? All I am asking for is 2 years of uninterrupted life. 1 to get my honours, 1 to get my PGDE(?). But one by one ah, these people are putting up a challenge. I just hope this test run will fail coz seriously it's making me feel like I am selfish for staying for another year. I know I know. It is going to benefit me for the long run and I too don't want to entertain these negativities. But you know la...
But on the lighter happier side..
I got the LBKM bursary.Alhamdulilah. I was kinda worried at first with all the readings I have to prints and books to get. Stupidly I forego the NUS bursaries application last sem since I was still undecided to stay, so when the sem starts, I was worried for my finances and you know with me helping my mum means I hardly have time to take up tuitions also..so to receive this bursary is really comforting.
one of my cousin was talking something about the word motek and how her friend doesn't know what it meant. So I playfully turn to Pipi and asked him what does motek mean? And guess what he replied... in perfect Malay - berasmara.. My goodness...the malay class has done some good huh. I know this is so out of the point but I thought it was funny...so gotta share la abit.
I think I have settled in with the craziness of school...still not on time with readings.. some readings has been skipped (oops), but ok la...I am doing enough to survive in the classes. In fact I am doing triple than what I usually do for the first 6 weeks of school ok(Yeah if you hadnt realised, I am not a reading person).So yeah me! Never have I actually sacrifice TV at night to do readings but there I was, eyes on the papers. Oh but don't get me started on the monstrosity of essays and presentation I have to do. Madness!
Mingling with the masters students has been quite nice coz it means more friends from the MS dept.Yeah! Only trouble is when the whole lot come to school to study, there's no more seats/space in the grad room to accomodate all of us. Pfft.I love the grad room ok, so nice to study in.. I know I am not qualified to be in that room but hey the dept barely have 8 post grad and 4 honours student... so yang seafdalnya... just combined us together la..But I don't want to complain so much also la coz I heard econs have 80 honours student and their honours room can barely fit in 10...so there.. Point is, if you are looking for me in school, just go to the MS dept ok. Hahah coz I know some of you are asking where have I been since I am rarely seen in school. If last time, I married the SMC, now I am having an affair with the MS grad room.
ISM is going ok..I think, I hope..Title is "Significance of trust and authority in the issues of halal food". How?ok? It's approved and no IRB form is needed, so thank God for that..coz ethics can be quite a bitch.. Only concern I really have is sourcing out vendors and getting them to talk to me...so wish me luck on that. Oh and talking about food.. having an Arab for the head of dept means arab food...had doner today for the Department lunch with this chewy I call arab bread which I really love..it's not pita...don't know what its called. I am so expecting more of that in the future. I am so going to have kebab overload ah.
What else? nothing much to be updated la actually... As one of the post grad says...expect no more life... For the next 10 weeks, expect me to talk a lot about school.. its all now about readings readings and more readings babe...and every possible free time I have I dedicate it to TV and online TV. =P You jolly well know I am not going to sacrifice my TV totally. So yeah...
Escapism.
