All fired up for the semester!!!....but let's hope that the fire does not die off too soon ^^;

It's the end of week one of Y2S1.

I'm so happy that I got both of the two modules that I had wanted so badly, Science of Music (PC1327) and Social Work (SW1101E) ^^

Used up a lot of my bid points getting these two modules though cuz the bidding points were all craaaaazy high this semester... I spent 300 points on SoM alone. I almost couldn't get SW because the bid points were like what, 500 plus and even 1007 in one of the rounds?! Are ya mad bro. Bid so high for what uh. Yea so I had to appeal after all bidding rounds had ended. Everything was so unsure, I didn't even know if I would be able to get the module or not. But oh well I guess I was lucky eventually to have my appeal accepted :) Tbh, I lied that I was considering of taking a minor in SW and I'd have to take it this semester otherwise I wouldn't be able to complete the requirements of the minor LOL. Hey, everyone does that also okay haha. But if I really like the module (which I'm really looking forward to after the first lecture I attended), I may end up really considering it. What's the use of having a SW minor? Who cares, it's just a minor anyway lol for interest's sake. Anyway so I ended up having 236 points deducted from my general account :( I still have no idea how they decided on the number of points to deduct upon successful appeal.

So far I'm really liking these two modules, they are making me look forward to attending lectures haha! As for my chem eng modules (we call them CN modules cuz of their module codes), I'm just dreading the difficulty level and competitiveness sigh. Plus I'm taking a module that's supposed to be studied only in Y3S1, so essentially I'm competing with the seniors (tgt with the many cheway ppl who have all decided to take it also lol).

Anyway, just a summary of the modules I'll be doing this semester:
CN2121 Thermodynamics
CN2122 Fluid Mechanics
CN3121 Process Dynamics and Control
ACC1002X Financial Accounting
SW1101E Social Work: A Heart-Head-Hand Connection (lol at the name)
PC1327 Science of Music

DOES THIS LOOK AMAZING OR SCARY?

AMAZING.





......AND SCARY.

Hahaha let's do itttttt >:)

Gentle Bones - Save Me

Went to NUS rag&flag day on Friday and got to know about Gentle Bones haha. Sorry if I'm lag but it's because I don't really pay attention to our local musicians/YT stars oops, plus I don't even listen to many English songs in the first place. So I was kinda surprised to have heard local musicians who not only have decent live performances but also have songs that suit my preference. It's not that easy for me to find songs that match my taste hahaha.



The singer Joel has a nice voice I got to say, but he seems to be straining his voice when singing the higher notes. Still, already not bad haha. Below is my favourite song out of all their songs, which they also performed on Friday :)

It's back to one of those days where I feel like just hiding in my own shell once again, not having to talk to people. I feel like doing random things by myself but it's kinda at a bad timing since the next two days (and also the last two days of my holidays...) will be crowded everywhere sigh. I really have a sudden urge to go travelling by myself lol. Let's see how this plan goes in the future.
