For without which...

San di, I just learnt a new latin phrase after you showed me the word "qua".

So I'd like to say,

Family,
Friends,
Home,
School,

are the sine qua non

of Amos.

See ya.

Hmm... How about we open it up to an application. Haha... As if we were some really big organization. Anyway, life is still good here in NUS. Just that i can't seem to understand the lectures. Hall life is fun too, going for late night suppers and stuff. Hope everybody is having a good time too.

By the way, the tagboard doesn't seem to be working. Anybody else has problems with it?

2 days into lectures.

I went through the CNM lecture on Monday. It was more like a introduction to the lecturers and stuff like that. Had EL lecture this morning, where much was taught but I seriously doubt the amount of knowledge which my rusty brain was able to absorb. Tomorrow will be my first lecture for SE, which I heard was not exactly the easiest module to score. And as if that was not bad enough, I seem to be the only freak taking both SE (Southeast Asian Studies) and SN (South Asian Studies) in this semester. Amidst all this not-so-nice news, there was a piece of news which was not exactly all that bad: My NM Final Exam is MCQ. Though I am beginning to consider if perhaps open-ended questions might have made things easier for me.

Arts Bash is this Saturday but chances are I will not be going.

Recruitment Drive for The Lonely Swordsmen Clan? I thought this is on invitational basis only? Well, just make sure the new guy is straight and is worthy to be one of us.

tHe jOuRnEy bEgIns....

Its been quite awhile since I last blogged.

Tomorrow is the start of the lessons proper, though there are still no tutorials for this week.

O Week was great.. Though I was not there for 100% of the time, I still enjoyed O Week. I got to know alot of friends during this O Week, and I think that is the important thing for an orientation. Like what the house ICs always say: At the end of the day, what is important for this orientation, is not about winning, its about getting to know people, who will be the ones to go through the 3/4 years in NUS, so that you do not go to lectures all alone, or eat lunch alone. And I think this makes perfect sense to me.

Bidding was something new to everyone of us. The total freedom of choice of modules to bid for makes it all the more tougher for me to decide and choose the modules which I want to take in this first semester. In the end, I settled for 5 modules all from FASS. I shall not bore people by listing my modules one by one.

I managed to watch quite a few movies recently. The Simpsons was good. Though some may find it a little coarse, but what do you expect from the Simpsons? Then there was Jay's Secret. I actually find it quite good. The script was quite well done and Jay was fine in the movie. I watched Rushed Hour 3 with my OG people as well. Jackie and Chris are hilarious as usual.

Hope everyone is doing fine.
Brudders, going for Gary's birthday?
