what a week it has been...

barely a week into the new sch term... it already feels like i've been there for a long time... in fact STUDIES have shown that this course results in the accelerated speed of ageing... DAMN!
but the week isn't without its highlights...

*monday*
i went to school with a face that says SHOOT me... ended up the REP for the ONLY compulsory module this sem... i really do talk too much... NOTE TO SELF: keep opinions to yourself... not that i am complaining... seriously... collect notes, distributing them.... it won't be much of a task if you could only see for urself how SLACK the lecturer is... oh well... and perhaps by 'volunteering' i cld maybe balance out my academia karmic points just a little bit so that perhaps this semester.. when both my ELVES go on their holidays during submission time.... i will survive...
it did not just end there... got the job of studio REP as well... i should really keep all opinions and enthusiasm to myself... let the sem begin!

*tuesday*
heh... no SCHOOL!!! thrilling isn't it?? to be able to recover from post first day trauma...

*wednesday*
my very first stint at being a TA... how FELICITY!... for this module AR2223... attended the lectures *yawn*.... they were still using the very same slides as when we took the module back in 2002... talk about a TIMELESS WAY OF BUILDING...
but of course the highlight of this teaching job had to be the STUDENTS... not just any student... but none other than the LEMON TREE GUY!!! heh... fortunately he is in YUANXIN's tutorial grp... i seriously think that my vault of sarcastic comments that i am prepared to throw at the sudents will just be wasted on him...

*thursday*
no school till 2pm!!! yiippeee.... another opportunity to recover...
studio was the same old same old... but no talk about theories this time round... its all about BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGs... i'm lovin' it!

*friday*
went back to ACS to visit teachers who taught us... edwin and i....
charles: hey.. wished you din have lessons... there was no way to reschedule coz some teachers will be away on a field trip next week.. and edwin wld hv left for shanghai when they came back.. oh well... we can visit another time... but i know you are not exactly keen on it rite??

*saturday*
site visit to KL... to sum it up... it was 12hours in the van... 4hrs on site... and a pretty good FREE LUNCH!!
and this is not counting the time i made my way down to NUS in the wee hours of the morning only to realise that the driver was gonna take us by the causeway instead of the second link... so 3hours after waking up and taking the train... i was at WOODLANDS... *sigh* that was only the beginning....
although it was difficult to say that we absolutely benefitted from the trip in terms of the assignment since the only thing we had to do was to walk around and take pictures... the 10 hours on the bus sure broke the ice... at least the studio group doesn't feel so awkward now...

*sunday*
time to recover and blog... and to reply to emails from very enthusiastic students from other faculties...
NOTE TO STUDENTS: architecture students are DAMN slack... don't worry about them picking the better sites before your do..
yuanxin: are u enjoying it yet???
