let me begin this post by screaming out: "WHY CAN'T I DOWNLOAD MUSIC FROM MULTIPLY ANYMORE??" omg this is so unfair! i've been relying on multiply to supply my music needs, and now it decides to REMOVE the "download" button?? WTH LAH! i'm trying to find new alternatives right now... wish me luck gegegegege...
(yes, i know that i am overly selfish and unfair for the artists. but a broke girl's gotta do what a broke girl's gotta do, man.)
ANYWAY. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL YESTERDAY.
my class starts at 3 so i had a lot of time to spend before school. i met up with sandra and junzhu--separately--and i had lunch with zhu and her friend esther! man it feels great to see them again, because they make nafa feel like home =D
ooh anyway, i met rebecca too. and the moment she saw me, her eyes widened, and she started to pinch my cheeks all over, and said, "CLARISSA WHAT DID YOU EAAAAT??" *stab stab stab* lolz. and i was like, "What? What?? Why??? Did I grow fat???" and then becs honestly replied, "YEEEESSSS!!!"
omg it was so funny. hahahahahhaha. okay, then i did a simple math of myself. when i came back from singapore to jakarta, people in jakarta said i'm fatter. and now when i come back to singapore FROM JAKARTA, singaporeans said I'M FATTER!! so that means i've grown fat TWICE!! *______* oh dear. curse all the good food in this world.
after lunch i went to popular to buy (finally) The Purpose Driven Life. then i went back home and tried to nap, but i couldn't, because i was so nervous about my class and my heart was just pounding its way out of my chest!
alas, the dreaded class begins. i arrived around 2.55, so i was almost late, so to speak. i met ika in the elevator. then i walked into the classroom to see two lines of people sitting face to face in a weird seat arrangement. i chose the seat in the very back, and sat next to a familiar face--a friend of a friend.
now i guess i'm quite lucky, i'm in 1 L (1 LALA LOH), and i have 3 other indonesians in my class (god answered my prayers, thankYOUUU!) and i have 2 ex-1M classmates with me, qayum and shekyn. thing is, i wasn't very close to them so i dunno lah.
my first impression of the class was... creepy. they were soooooo quiet. can't blame them tho, cause i'm known to be silent myself at first. then after a while, the lecturer began the lesson. he started with the typical introduction... and said that it was his first time teaching. i noticed he had a different kind of english from other singaporeans and i was right--he just came back from the US.
in short, he managed to share some points about the design industry--helpful for me, i guess. it's always interesting for me to find out more about my future environment. we had to introduce ourselves. hhhhh. we finished the class after 2 exercises and 1 project briefing. the project seems very fun: we had to design a watch face!! OOH!!
anyway, i guess in the end, everyone was just as nervous as me. so i don't think i should feel so strange about myself, right? i just hope i can make good friends in this class, and have fun in the process. last night cecile said that this class will go on until the second year, soooo BETTER ENJOY THE CLASS.
last night, when jez, ika, and i came to the 7th floor to wash our clothes, we dropped by cecile's room. i missed her and the others! we talked and laughed and then she asked us to accompany her to the 6th floor to give away brownies (NOTE TO ALL SINGAPOREANS: GO BANDUNG MUST EAT BROWNIES. BEST BROWNIES EVER) i honestly felt very weird about going to the 6th floor cuz it's all boys rooms. erm, yeah, i guess it's because we've only kept to ourselves all this time.
from there we went to evi's room and we had the chance to peek at her old works (she's a sophomore in nafa interior design course) bloody scary! i mean it looked so good but i bet it was so tough to do. then i felt so glad that i'm not in ID. i would totally suck in all the technical drawing projects.
... when i go down to other floors of my hostel, everybody knows everybody. and it made me realize that i haven't really socialized with others. of course it's mostly because 9th floor, my floor, is kinda secluded, because there're only a few people here, and downstairs... well, it's just so different, you know. now i know that i'm missing out on so much. gee.
anyway, must wrap out the entry now 'cause it's time for me to get ready. school starts at 12. hehe. hope i have a better day with my new class!
