i finally feel fine enough to blog about ntu, one that's not angsty or depressed. but that does not mean that i have made any friends there.
nonetheless one thing is for sure, ntu is situated at some 'niao bu la shi, ji bu shen dan' place. for those people who do not understand chinese, it means that the place is so ulu that birds do not shit and chickens do not lay eggs there - a direct translation.
what's more, it's a BIG mountain. who says s'pore does not have mountain. ntu is just situated on one, man. i spend my mornings climbing up to get to the library and my lecture hall. i also can't be bothered to figure out which shuttle bus to take because it will kill too many of my brain cells. so i'm walking. just think of it as a daily workout, hahha, combined with my nonexistent appetite for food, i think i'm getting healthier with thinner layer of blubber on me.
anyway, so far i have attended every single lecture. haha. i'm so proud of myself. since i'm all alone and introductory lectures are mostly useless, temptation to pon one of them is great. but i overcame it. muahahaha. so i went to lectures alone, thus can concentrate better and doze off with little interruption as well.
anyway, lectures have been reasonably boring. lecturers try to be funny sometimes, but you know the nature of humour of the PhD holders and professors - weird.
during math lecture, the professor spent 20 minutes playing with the clicker. 5 minutes spent on 'unhanging' the computer due to complications from the clicker program. great.
by the way, i still have not found any random person who is taking ENE. does the program even exist or is it all in my mind.
