Hellooooo guys, how long has it been since i last blogged! Actually been wanting to update this blog since ages ago but always couldn't find the time and slowly memories are piling up! Let me pick it up from where i left off. The feeling of completing national service is definitely great but i do miss all the memories i had for the past 2 years of army life and the friendships i've gained inside. Anyway to update abit, i went for LASIK surgery as well as i've added in Alexius in my ic. I'm also waiting to go for guitar lessons at yamaha when im free, as well as pondering if i should go get my bike license!
Alright, to further update you guys abit! Im currently studying in SIM under university of london taking degree in banking and finance. Im aiming for first class honors but after going through 2 months of school, kind of think that it's impossible! Guess i would be contented with just second upper! Well, life in SIM isn't as bad as what i've expected. My initial impression of SIM students is that they will be just going to school for lectures and then head home once lecture ends, what i've heard from my SIM friends. But apparently i beg to differ. Or maybe i'm just lucky! I shall give a summary of what i've been doing this past 2 months or so in SIM.
Before the school officially started for year 1, we had a compulsory freshmen orientation day, where we will be in our og of 28 people and then start to play ice breaking games, go to different game stations to play games and then get to know more about SIM for a day! I guess everyone in the og is nice and very rowdy as we would stir shit online in our facebook group and we met up quite often after our orientation. Then after that there is this freshmen orientation camp, where we have to apply and hope to be selected on random basis or idk how the selection process is like. Apparently there's like more than 700 people applying for it and only 288 people selected and im one of the lucky few! Its a 3d2n camp and we did quite a number of things, like the first day we went to sentosa and played games at different games station, then at night there's the secret pal preview where we were blind folded and will be talking to our secret pal. Kind of awkward though. Then the second day is our amazing race at town area then at night is our secret pal night, where we will be revealed to our individual sp. Then after dinner, its the SP walk where we go to different station with our sp and play the games. Last day of the camp is where we have to come up with a skit and perform! Thats about it for the orientation camps! OG7 ftw! I think we are quite close, for that we will meet for lunch everytime after lessons or before lessons and we everytime have outings! :D
Life when school has started is even more happening, or should i say hectic! Firstly, there is this Student Representitive Council interview and out of the many applicants, im lucky to be selected inside, and was chosen to be in the handball event committee! One bad thing about this is that it really requires alot of commitment, be it meeting or getting work done! and sadly im the marketing ic and have to do many things. but nevertheless, its quite an experience! There's like meeting every week and supper-ing after that! Then we have outings and bondings also, like ktv sessions, sports chalet, barrage, sentosa and more to come! Really glad to be in handball with interesting and fun peeps, and never forget the quality over quantity! :D But we are one sports family after all! Everyone else in sports is nice also, especially peeps from challenge shield too! Alright basically that sums up the life im getting in SIM, not to forget im a full-time student too! Life's getting stressful even though it has only started for 2 months! The teaching pace is super fast and the things u have to learn is damn tough! Kind of struggling now, and im surprised that im so much hardworking now then when im in MI. Im practically studying everytime when im free now! Need to work hard for my goal!
Im kind of satisfied with the life im having now! And definitely not forgetting my other friends! I shall update again when theres more interesting things to blog about, soon! :D take care guys and keep smiling! :D
