And just when I have said that there is nothing interesting happening in my school... The interesting thing happened just the following day!
It was the time when Russell and I was attending our maths tutorial. Typically, we would find a foreigner tutoring the class. And yes, we saw one... BUT! He was leaving! Beside him was a guy hiding in a corner, trying to start up the computer in the tutorial room. I sensed a very strange vibe from that guy, because that guy doesn't look like a tutor with his "Ah Beng" look. He finally stood up, and started uttering his first sentence from his mouth. "Does this tutorial required to take attendance?" --in a comical way. Obviously, he did not know the rules of the tutorial. Well, neither do all of us! We were all perplexed and most of us just shugged our shoulders or shook our heads. Naturally, he took that actions as a "No". He just continued ask some more questions about the tutorial and those questions were all things that a tutor should be the first to know and not the other way round... I was amazed by that tutor.
There you have it, my third Singaporean tutor in my uni course. The first one, was a guy who tried his best effort to conduct lessons and helped each of us - Still not bad. The second one, who turned out to be my brother's army buddy for a short period of time, was quite a slacker and sometimes clueless about the answers given to him. Now, this guy, he is a funny one, he's just copying down the answer from the copy he was given, and only has a bit of idea what is going on. Why they have to be like this?! But that guy was approachable though... And kind of giving me the courage to be a tutor like him! Haha.

Broke and Bored
I try to go out less frequently since I'm extremely getting out of money. The price you really have to pay for not working when you are free, especially coming from an extremely poor family. And hence, my entries are getting lesser and lesser. And I'm sure no one would really want to know my life in school, and surely there is nothing much to talk about.
I also had been spending lots of money in school, especially when I went back school everyday to study. Yes, I'm talking about Saturdays and Sundays. Canteens are not open during weekends, so I could only patronise either McDonalds or Subway for my meals. Today I just calculated how much I will need for a month with such a lifestyle. Now then I realised, not only I have not been saving any money, I have been using my savings in a horrible rate too! I am so going to work like mad during the next long break!!!
However, at times like this, I still being picky on the kind of job I wish to take. Just like, the previous one month break, I did not take up any job as most of the job available were mostly Expo Sales. I would wish to work in another environment with higher pay of course. Another reason was I have already experienced the working style of these jobs, and I would want to try working in a different environment. And turns out, you could find a lot of jobs that only take you for only a month. Therefore, the only thing I can spend the time usefully was to exercise either alone or with Yi Sheng in that month.
With lesser money, I cannot go anywhere and I have lesser things to write on my blog. Hopefully, there are many interesting things happen in school, so I will have something to write about!
Now, to make things worse. There is a sudden pour of outings around the CNY corner! Wish me luck!!! Hope I have money just in time to save my money being deducted somewhere!!!

Mini Post 9: It's 2011?!
The previous year seemed like one long year for me.
Probably due to the lost track in time during the university semesters.
It was a mixed feeling for the long 3 months during May to July.
It made us feel that the next semester (in August) will be a brand new year.
Well, the answer is Yes and No.
Yes, it is another new annual year for university.
No, it is still 2010.
So, everything happened during January to May seemed like "Last Year".
I can't really think of any exciting things happened in 2010, like the most boring year ever.
Yup, university is the only reason to this.
I enjoyed the time in uni so far.
But I also lost a lot of time with many people out there...
