I fell down...
hmm today is my proper first day of sch... At 10am, I went to USP class... was raining then. Today, we talked abt classical art with relation to Christianity and how it separated into 2 types, with one of them known as Catholic... ok...
After that was 2 hrs break. While to other aki students, they haf pro communication at 1pm. I no need to take, so I lingered ard in the fourth level. On my way to SDE.. I saw frens walking in threes and twos for lunch. smiled and waved and walked by... Sitting at the fourth level, the view in front of my was a grey building in the open space. Everything seemed solemnly peaceful. I wonder how long will it come again in this sem when things will get busy.
2pm approaching so I went in LT423 for this guest lecture on the passed away famous Architect Geoffrey Bawa. I was the first to get the seat. Slowly ppl streamed in.... After the talk, everyone became very active and me of cos, rushed to my dds room's entrance! hahaha kaisu? in fact everyone is! My studiomates oso rushed together with me. Finally I got the seat I wanted! Yea! And we started adding each other's msn.
Finally 6pm was over and I was aboout to leave NUS when I realised I left my umbrella in USP class! I ran to the USP Admin Blk but the doors were all closed... so sad. Den I hurried to Boon Lay to get my phone (hey, for ur info, my tutor for this sem is called Ong Boon Lay!) When I was walking out of the mrt station, my steps were unstable and thought to myself that I better not fall down. And suddenly, the next moment I found myself losing my footing and fell down flat!!! My instinct damn accurate at timings... My right knee got scratched very little as my pants took the cover for it. But my poor new pants got this patch scratched badly there. haha~~~~ sad... why am I so 'clumsy' for the past year or so? haiz...... I am losing confidence in walking liao...
ok, finally back home safe and sound~ haha, and began customising my hp again... haiz.....
hey.. you oki or not? Accident-prone sia. Don't lose confidence in walking lah. Just be more careul while you walk? And catch enough sleep!!!
sleep more rest more den wun have the jelly-feet and light-headed syndromes =P and u nv forget to forget things ah?? hahahha~~
dun be so clumsy for the new yr lor~~ coming soon in another 3 weeks~~ =) enjoy ur peace~~ and rest enuff to work hard again~~!!
aiyo~~~ sorry la~~ dun mean to.... -_-
