SO! First day of classes... Everything went well. Had all the self-introduction of everyone in class. EXCEPT! For Econs class! Urgh. Terry started the first page of the first chapter for Econs! Zzz. Oh whatever. He just had to spoil the day, you know. hurhur. Econs is a very very dry and lonely class for me to be in. But, have to attend lahs. Sighs.
Arch (EL Lecturer) taught in Singapore for 16 years. From 1983 to 1999. He is the FIRST westerner I came across in my 19 years of life... Who said, he LIKES DURIANS, LAKSA & SAMBAL CHILLI! wahhh. When he mentioned those... Nisha & I were like.. Arch, you're making us hungry! Then he laughed. lols. He's a very very very nice man. No kids, only him and his wife. So he treats all of us like his children. Aww. So nice aye? hahas.
Paul (Mgmt Lecturer) is from England! He is the SUPER laid-back lecturer, very easy-going and he just likes calling and using my name in class. HAH. Almost every example he gives, has my name in it. Uhhh. Plus, he said Rugby is a stupid game even though it originated from his country. lol. Oh, and he uses his LONG ruler to smack onto the table if anyone sleeps in class. haaa! What a funny man, a funny English man. lol.
David (Computing Lecturer) is rather robotic with speech and movements. Nothing much, but can be funny at times. Heh.
Jane (Stats Lecturer) is a very very nice lady. BUT, she HATES people who talk while she's talking. And when that happens... hurrr. Its a serious waste of time! 'Cause she'll stop her lecture and start talking about what she said about the RULE. "NO TALKING WHEN I AM TALKING"... blah blah blah blah blah....~
Pam (Acctg Lecturer) will only see us after 6 weeks. So yeah, we all haven't seen her as well. (:
rigght, so that's all for Monday! (long huh?)
24 JUNE 2008 ; TUESDAY
Alright, second day of classes. Nothing much, more or less of introduction to all the modules. It rained really heavily this morning during English class. And its not normal rain. Its raining MINI hailstones. Sorry, just need to blow that word up. If not my parents will start calling my cellphone after they've read this. LOL. Ohwells, but thank God. I was in class ready. But, those hailstones look like SNOW from far. Ah-hah! I'm just playing tricks with your eyes, people. LOL. LOOKED like SNOW. BUT, it ISN'T SNOW! haaaa! Nisha & I were like.. ehhh... look like snow ahh!? *raised our eyebrows at each other and out of nowhere, we suddenly squeaked tgt* ahhh.. Arch was like... "Is that, that fascinating to you both? Or is it Nisha that's tring to be naughty now? *Nisha pointed at me* Ahh, no Arch! haha. It was just the... white thing that looked like snow you know. harhar- Eunice, don't be naughty too." Then all 3 of us (Arch, Nisha & I) laughed. ahhh... Arch is so funny! hurhr.
Anyhoos, no break tomorrow. But, a pretty short day. Wheee~ Anyhoos, Terry gave us a mini little homework. Just find out about one famous economist and write 3 sentences about that person. Lol. Mohamad came knocking at my room door just now.
"Hi Eunice, you are taking World of Business as well right?"
"Erm, yeah. Why?"
"Oh, are you in Terry's Econs class?"
"Yupp."
"Ahh, he gave you guys homework too?"
"Yeah, he did. I'm doing mine now."
"Oh, okay. Do you know what we're suppose to find?"
(Eunice, gave a blurr look)
"Erm, about famous economist?"
"Oh, yeah right... But i found a long list of them. How to know who's famous?"
"EEEERRRRMMMM, just pick anyone from that famous list of economist?"
"Oh, anyone?! Really? 'Cause i went to the Central Library at Uni just now, but I didn't know what to search for. Then i went to the common rooms downstairs the printer didn't want to work with me."
"Haha. I see. But, why do you need to print? 'Cause you're only suppose to give Terry 3 sentences about the famous economist. You can just write it down, you know."
"Oh, so we don't need to print anything? Just hand-write it is ok?"
(thought - so much for being on "scholarship". ohwells)
"Yupp, just write it down and explain it to Terry when he ask you for it. *smiles*"
"Oh, alright. Aww-man! That means I have to go back to Central Library tmr morning before class starts."
(gave him a weird confused look)
"Why do you need to go there for?"
"Erm, to do my research?"
"ERM, doesn't Ryan (my room-mate, his friend) have a computer & internet in his room or smth?"
(he smacked his forehead)
"Oh, right!!! Why didn't I think of that?!"
"Lol. *snaps my finger* HELLO! are you sleepy? or what are you both doing with the computer?"
"Hahaha! oh, noooooo! We're not doing anything!"
"Hah. Chill. Was just kidding. So, just find out about the economist name, lifetime, where and what he/she did."
"Okay! Hey, thanks a lot!"
"no prob. (: its easy! better go get it done from Ryan's comp. now yarr?"
"Haha. Yeah, will do. See you tmr!"
"Yupp, you too."
Ahhh, that funny person! tsk. He doesn't like his Saudi accent. So he's seriously trying really hard not to sound like a Saudi. But, ahhh... it'll take sometime for his accent to change. lol.
yeah, guess that's about all. yays! time for bed! my eyes are starting to close ready. hurhur. nights earthlings! ((:
