Subject:

Five weeks on....

Hello to all my dearest classmates!!!

Finally after 5 weeks of school, I actually thought of something to post today! By the way, did you all realize that about a week ago, the number of views this page received hit 3000!

Yes it was that MANY! But there are less than 300 messages here! Sigh..... how come you all always come by...but never post?

I really should put a counter here at this board. Then you realize how many times 4/3 people actually visit the messageboard.

The subject of my message today is:

How Aidah Went Crazy/Berserk/Raving Lunatic During The 2nd Week of School: Causes & Effects

I am sure many of you have read my infamous post a few messages below. The grammatical errors, the short forms and the lack of proper paragraphing was very glaring indeed.

Well first of all, the emotions at that moment of the posting of the message had been triggered by Audrey's announcement of her imminent departure for overseas studies. Oh yes Audrey, at that moment I was the one who felt like some sort of loser stuck in S'pore. LOL!

Other factors that caused the terrible outburst of emotions was the fact of the extreme amount of stress that was building up and the TOTAL lack of support I was receiving from certain quarters. I was very overwhelmed.

A grand total of 6 modules with 5 assignments to be submitted regularly each week. 24 credits. A battle of emotions, brain-cells and sleep deprivation. In a totally new environment.

And I think I almost lost the battle when I started ranting by writing the message.

I lost self-control.

~stay tuned for the next riveting part: How Aidah Lost Her Marbles (not the glassy kind)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heehee. Did I *scare* you all with that part above?

5 weeks on, I can't honestly say that the stress is reducing......rather it has been increasing. But I forced myself to look at it in from another angle. I really forced myself.

You know like casually mentioning about my bra factory business to my new classmates and relishing at the strange horror-faced look. And I will try in my most deadpan voice say about the latest (E)uro Cup designs being rolled out.

It was a challenge convincing people back in JC, it still is. But I am thinking, all my Sec 4/3 classmates and JC-mates know about my famous trade and are convinced that it's a thriving business. So I guess I am going to persevere. I am sure I will be able to gain plenty of new business opportunites with my fellow chem engin classmates.

And did you hear about my adventures with my organic chem book? Or rather its adventures with me. Or gawd, I swear at times, I don't know whether I am learning chemistry or doing weightlifting. Plus, that thing can seriously maim or kill someone. Don't believe me right? Wait till someone accidentally (my foot!) dropped the book (literally, my FOOT!) on YOUR right foot.

But the biggest challenge I have ever faced is this:

I realized it's NOT the inability to be able to complete tutorials on time. It's not a challenge; it's a perennial problem that can only be solved if I can freeze time.

I also realized it's NOT trying to fit in or find new friends. I am a TKG-ian remember? I can make friends with the fish in the pond.

That I am one out of the only two Malay girls in this course. It feels very strange. Now now, don't want to make race issues or whatever.... but it just feels very very odd. The feeling of being watched closely.

*smiles*

Perhaps LT5 is haunted.

Anyway, that was the second biggest challenge.... the biggest challenge is the TOTAL LACK of eligible guys in this faculty! Oh gawd! The horrors!

I remember most of you guys predicted that I will get married first.

~pause~

LOL!

~pause~

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

~pause~

ROTFLOLOLPIMPLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

I seriouly doubt the chances of that happening... Let me present some statistics:

Racial-wise: Malay guys -- 0%
Looks-wise:
Handsome but attached -- 100%
Handsome but unattached -- 0%

So as you can see the results of the census pretty much speaks for itself. Can't possibly ask me on character-wise right? But most engin guys are nice decent people...

Obviously Aidah is soooo stressed that she tries to focus on something else other than the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and Entropy Change.

Yes. Like members of the opposite sex.

~eeeks! did someone actually use the S-word on this family-orientated message board? ban her! ban her!

shuddup. even the censorship in s'pore is being reviewed. right. lemme say it again. SE......!

~hears short muffled scream of the S-word as a hand tries to cover a mouth and proceeding to wash it with detergent~

We'll now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.

-Aidah

I missed writng all this amusing stories! Granted that sometimes it seems I'm the ONLY one reading and laughing at it. Pathetic I know.

Where the heck is everyone?
