很多话想说
但不能说
很多事情想问
但问不出口
很多东西想解释
但可能会越弄越糟
你到底要我怎样！
功课跟不上了
CCA的东西没做好
心情很不好
可不可以不要去想那些怎么处理都处理不了的问题？

Don't open your book!
Had another really INTERESTING Critical Thinking and Writing class today!
My tutor was telling us about different types of claims like factual, value and policy claims. Liyang and Victor who were sitting next to me were busy copying all these different types of claims that he mentioned and I suddenly realised that all these are actually in our booklet. So I opened my book to find the pages with all the 'claims, reason, issue and etc'. Being such a busybody, I then tapped Liyang to show him that it's inside. After that I turn to the other side and did the same thing to Victor.
I think I didn't even manage to tell Victor what I wanted to tell before my tutor started saying, 'Zhi Xin, if I want you to open the book, I will tell you. And when you were busy talking to Liyang, you did not answer my question.'
I have not been scolded by a teacher in class for like years. I was kinda embarrassed but felt a little bit funny also. It was like teacher catching some primary school kids for talking in class.
I apologised and he went on to ask, 'so, tell me who likes policy claims.'
'Politician?'
'Why?'
Then I started bluffing about something and he kept on asking 'and then?' and 'and then?' until I think he was happy. Haha...but luckily I my answers did make sense to some extent (I think).
So basically this is what happened during today's class. Oh, now I know how it feels like when being scolded by teacher when you are 20.

First CTW class
Had a really stressful Critical Thinking and Writing class this morning. Once I entered the classroom with my cup of coffee from Dilys, my teacher immediately said, 'No coffee in class. That's the university rule.' For the first time in uni I felt like I am back to primary school. Then there were quite a few other people who came in with food or drinks and got scolded.
I don't hate him la. Cauz having such a strict tutor actually kept me awake for the whole of two hours. I would have fallen asleep otherwise. Just that I was expecting a relaxed and fun CTW class when I first saw that my tutor was a Caucasian.
So I have no choice but to work hard for my CTW and really prepare for every class.
Btw I am taking Principles of Economics this semester and Mr Hussain's face kept appearing in my mind during Econs lectures. Lol...

我要去槟城了
我和殷硕会跟着德辩队伍去槟城
开始时是想 没被选去打比赛
跟着去学习也很好
现在依然是这么想的
只是收到邮件说确定要去的时候
突然感觉很压力
可能之前受过一些训练
刚入队时大家会说新生当中我的风格明显比较成熟
渐渐地看见大家开始进步了
我却发现自己还跟以前一样
debate trip 的录像我都不敢看
怕看见自己在台上那么丑
一直觉得自己已经没有很想辩论的感觉了
不知道是因为没感觉所以越打越烂
还是只是不知道自己要怎么进步
害怕自己在辩论队待多一两年后还停留在现在这个样子
德辩在recess week
应该就没时间准备期中考了
但我也不在乎了
谁叫我想跟大家去德辩
明天infusion audition
今晚没办法去辩论队训练
真的很希望很希望我们可以在Infusion 跳得很漂亮
也很想很想帮新国大在德辩有好的表现
也害怕自己没有First Class Honour
哈哈
也许Second-Upper 也 ok

First Post of the Semester
It feels like I have done a lot of things but today is only WEDNESDAY!!! Why is this week so freaking long! Don't worry, I don't hate school that much anymore, maybe it's because it's just the start of the semester. I can still drag myself out of my bed for the 8am lectures for the past two days. As usual, I go for classes with Jiwon and Zhong Sheng and spend my hostel life with the Malaysians.
MSL and AMCISA are now busy preparing for Infusion. Hope everything goes well in the end. After four five years of staying in Singapore, I still feel more comfortable mixing around with Malaysians. Don't get me wrong, Jw Zs and I are happy with each other but it just feels like there is still a barrier among us. A Korean, a Malaysian and a Singaporean. Really need to put in some effort to overcome the cultural barrier right?!
Time to go for Infusion practice.
Looking forward to our outing to Swensens tomorrow! :)
