Tuesday, September 2
chapalang day 7:14 PMToday was not as productive as we'd hoped it would be. Classes start this Thursday (4th Sep) and we only have 2 days to settle down, confirm courses, do up all the admin stuff, purchase our supplies and groceries etc. We did manage to meet Tara Cleve, the exchange coordinator, and confirmed our courses. But because today is also their Year 1 students’ orientation, everywhere was so crowded and the Student ID Card Centre was too packed for us to get in line, and we had to get this done first before paying our fees and all, so we ended up not settling anything else. We've decided to come back in tomorrow, office opens at 9 but we’ll be here by 8.45! Haha.. typically Singaporean!
Anyway, I’m doing 3 modules over here, yes kinda slack but I have no choice! It’s already a 4-day week because classes are split into 2 half-lectures.. I’ll be doing Personal Financial Planning, Small Business Management and Art of the Film, hence clearing Finance, T&E and GE. This leaves me with my final 3 courses in final semester then.. bleah.
Laura then picked us up at 1pm to drive us to SuperStore and get what we need, so we do not have to lug them back in the cold. We each bought this 50% polyester, 50% cotton comforter, which probably will not be thick enough for winter, but we have no other choice cos the duvets are all very expensive. Nevertheless, we also got a whole lot of other items and some food, and will be coming back this Thursday again, since we have to revisit the CIBC Bank (turns out that we had to make an appointment with the coordinator before heading down). ROAR. Oh, and I remembered I wanted to buy a plant, but even the smallest plant was CAD 15.. so I decided to do without. And I have no cushion nor bolster too.. :(
But well, with the extra hangers and my red-orange comforter, my room looks more colourful and bright now.

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
