Change...not unwillingly
So, the new school term has started and it's already the third week. I've got 19 AUs worth of classes, that means about 19 hours of class, of which I don't attend most of the lectures, so in the end I only have about 14 hours of class a week.
But the reading is mad. I spend about 45 minutes printing stuff every week!!! I just sit in my lil room and the printer goes on and on killing many trees... And I have one module that I think might just kill me. Some web based information system thingy. I've got to learn HTML, javascript and more. But judging from how I learnt stuff while at work at SAP, I think I would be able to pick it up as long as I put in the time...sigh...
One module even has in the first lecture this phrase: "How do you study for xxxxx? Spend at least 9 hours doing your readings each week." 9 hours of reading. My butt would be intimately associated with my chair if I spent 9 hours reading about people's behaviour and management styles, every week.
I want my 5.0. So I'd have to do it.
At the same time, I want hall stay. So I gotta play ultimate... But I'm not complaining. I've always said that ultimate and triathlon are both passions I can live with for very long. I also said that they are mutually exclusive. In my present case, not only has ultimate given me the injuries I predicted it can easily give a klutz like me, the critical dates of both sports clash.
Just one day apart, an ultimate frisbee competition, and the biggest triathlon of my year. Already signed up too. Sigh...as soon as the date of the comp is confirmed, I'd have to withdraw...It's one or the other. You can't have both. But I can still do my rides, my swims, and all that endurance sport I love. Just that I can't race...Maybe I'd just bide my time till next february...hmmm...
I like NTU Ulty. It's slowly becoming a pretty pleasant family to be part of. More sincere and open-hearted than my previous team. I guess it's a matter of opinion, perhaps other players would feel otherwise. But I think I might be able to meld in and be of better use than previously...
Some pictures:
Some friends from beach pickups. Saturday pickups at Siloso will be a regular feature for me. That guy with the curly hair picked up ultimate kinda fast within 1 day. From Malaysia too...hope he gets his playtime back home...
Somebody FINALLY got his passport, so we went to Malaysia for dinner. Actually, they went for half a day. I called him, and he said, yo, we're in Malaysia. Come over la. So I went. So much for me being rigid eh? That is a cup of strawberry kiwi puree costing 12 ringgit. That's about 5 bucks SGD. That's also Elena's face. (Insert implied statement and accompanying exclamation)
And that's some of the food. Stingray and belachan fried veges/beans, for merely 31 ringgit. We also had duck, chee cheong fun, wanton mee, oatmeal prawns. Thereafter, Durian and a magnum almond.
Total cost(plus cabfare): 22 SGD.
