Yeah, short post. Someone told me he's lazy to read thru my posts coz they're too long. After finishing half of my papers on Thursday, I go into a state of slacking in my single deluxe room (I haven't seen my roomie for the... well, about 2 weeks... didn't count the days), apart from dabao-ing lunch and dinner, church, and swimming with bookworm. A crawling tortoise is better than a sleeping rabbit... I think I am a sleeping tortoise... next paper is on Tuesday... JUN XUAN!!! WAKE UP!!!
On Friday, got regrouping notice from hall office. There will be repainting of rooms in my block in May, so they tell us to choose a room and move all the things to the new room. I applied to stay in my current room next sem, coz got priority and lazy to move things around... Now, no choice, but luckily got a room in Block 48 (the room is just opposite my current room). If I get back the same room next sem, have to move all things back here again...
This time write till here... muz study liao... jiayou!!!!!

After Week 13
The final week of school at NTU is over. Unlike NUS, NTU does not have a study week for students to concentrate on preparing for exams. So, next week is... the 1st week of the 3-week exam period. Actually it could be a good thing for us, because having a study week means a more packed exam schedule (e.g. NUS, which has a 2-week exam period). Just started studying for Tuesday's Accounting paper. I even study while travelling on MRT and buses, and perhaps it's the first time I find TV Mobile on SBS buses very irritating.
The new canteen block just opened last Monday. Wonder why they would open right before exam period, is it because more student will eat at school during exam period? Anyway, the new Subway and Old Chang Kee is super popular. The loooooooooong queue in front of Subway is a new phenomenon in NTU. I had tried out the two new eateries already, and really enjoyed the food... uh-oh, start overspending again...
To all my friends in NTU: Wish u all the best in the coming exams! Press on!
To all my friends in NUS Although exams is 3 weeks later, study hard and good luck in exams!
To my fellow STPM classmates: Well done, guys! I am sure that ur hard work had paid off. Most of u would be entering Malaysian unis in July, so wish u will enjoy ur uni life!
To others: Wish u will be successful in ur daily life! If u r having exams, wish u all the best in exams too!
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Reflection
When I first saw "Mastering Communication" appearing in the school's registration instructions, the first thing that come to my mind was: will I learn something from the course? Having heard of "Effective Communication" from my engineering friends for months, I wanted to find out whether it will be as interesting, or otherwise, as what my friends had described to me. Surely, the most appealing part of the course is that it has no final exam and it is pass/fail graded.
For lectures, I had always enjoyed attending HW111A lectures, even when I sometimes doubt that I remember anything, or learn anything when I step out of LKC-LT.
For tutorials, I was grouped together with three other persons; two of them are my friends, as we had agreed to register the same index number for the course. The other person was a complete stranger; though we are coursemates, I had never noticed her before. Three of us are Chinese-educated Malaysians, while she is a Singaporean with a Singaporean education background. Besides that, she can think faster than any of us during a discussing section, leaving us with nothing to talk about. While discussing about our presentation, sometimes I felt that she is too arrogant and demanding. But from another point of view, she has to deal with three complete strangers, each of them with different views, perceptions and command of English. She has also the same workload as we have, not lesser. She also has the same goal: to pass the course.
I think that's why we need to learn to master communication: to communicate with different individuals. We cannot possibly stick to the same group of people for the whole of our lives and not communicate with other groups of people. Learning to communicate is not just a one-semester course; it's a lifetime course.
