so preoccupied with keeping myself in the loop of the amount of info circulating for new semester and my printer buzzing away with pieces and pieces of print outs...
first day school was quite alright. It's always nice to be back in familiar grounds, where u see the usual grp of ppl and you'll get to see the young freshies. Which kinda reminded me that I was like them 2 years ago.. How time flies~ Everyone was lamenting how we were already in our final year and after that, it'll just be 9-5 desk-bound jobs never ending..
it's always nice to meet up with old pals, the feeling of familiarity never stops to warm my heart.
lugged 2 bags full of textbooks and notes to sch in a cab for Hoi. That girl is sooo busy with her cca stuff. Kinda admired her perseverance in doin the things that she's passionate about. For me, nah.. think i'm those 'microwave' personality, 三分钟热度. :D
met up with Serene and brought her around. Her first day in NTU but she's a direct 2nd year entry to Bio Sci. I can totally understand how she feels, being so lonely and everyone is a strange face to her. But think she'll get along pretty fast after the actual lessons commence.. It's always easy to make new friends in school, but not at work place.
had a taxing Tax seminar today. (no pun intended ;) Tutor was rather mild-mannered, but he co-authored the S'pore Master Tax Guide, which is no mean feat. Thought he would turn out like Prof Ng Eng Juan lidat, funny, humorous and ALWAYS promoting his book. But well, turned out that he 'looked' like he can be bullied by us... haha :P so mean of me. But think he has what it takes, could explain the terms and stuff quite thoroughly. Heard from Ben that the closed book exam is not easy, some of his frens flunked last sem. I better work hard on my part too.
No school for me tomolo coz it's NTU's annual Flag Day. Roy was still asking me if I would still donate to Flag Day ppl when I see them on the streets. He was worried that the recent NKF scandal has already casted a bad impression on practically ALL donation drives and charity aids. Shall check out tom when I go town.
But if you were approached by students selling flags, would you still readily take out a coin and put inside the can? Some ppl who were interviewed on news some day back had already hesitated and asked alot more questions such as 'Who are we donating to?', 'How are you going to distribute these donations to the needy people?' etc. I mean, how do you expect these clueless students to react? Think most of them just sell flags out of obligations or to earn extra cca points. I doubt they can answer all these questions.
But do donate some of ur coins (be it 1 cent or 5 cent ones) to the NTU Flag Day people tomorrow when u happened to see them. Think it's not easy to raise funds for the needy people any more. And i guarantee you that the money will GO TO the charity organisation. At least that's what Roy told me. Please help?
