Had a day of lectures!

Actually i skipped the first one.. had a talk by the engineering rector or something like that? Anyway, my friend told me it wasn't important, so i skipped it. I went to the Mech Eng dept earlier though, and i asked around about why i should go. They all told me i should be at that talk. LOL.

So i went for it, and i was too shy to walk in! lol. So i just waited outside, trying to get WLAN working on my phone. Couldn't do it. damn.

Anyways, went for the mech eng intro talk after that. They started scaring us about how busy we'd be. Doesn't matter. I think i'm a person who knows what I want. (I know xuan thinks i am. lol. thanks bro.) I'm not going to join millions of societies to try things out. I'm guessing I'm going to join the stinkapore society, to get to know people, bball society, cos i love bball, and maybe the table football society, because i enjoy it too. And my friend is the vice-president or something. lol.

And my other priorities are keeping in touch with my friends back home, studies and keeping myself in good shape. Might seem like alot of things, but I'm willing to forgo other unimportant stuff like games, watching shows, chilling out and stuffs. I'm a man with a mission. No one is going to stop me. lol.

They really did scare me during that talk though. They said something along the lines of, well done for your A levels. We know you were top of your class, because if you weren't, you wouldn't be here. Even during the peak of my studies, where my brain was finely tuned to these kind of stuffs, and i could do most calculations completely in my head, I would have felt intimidated. But now, after 2 years of brain rest, where simple calculations take me ages to do even with a calculator, I feel down right terrified. And completely inferior.

I guess this is where hard work comes in. I always felt that hard work and hustle could make up for many a mistake, and make up for... lack of talent? I even felt I've proven it before.

I guess now I'm just going to have to prove it again.

We were given an introductary project too. We are going to build a small bridge and test it with loads. The bridge that carries the most load gets prizes and stuff.

The funny thing is that i understand the principles. Like where the forces will act, what kind of forces, how to improve the design and stuffs. I can't EXPLAIN them. While the lecturer was explaining the terminology and stuffs, i was completely lost. I looked around and no one else looked lost. They just looked bored.

This is a bad sign. lol.

It's like a basketball match. Down by 20 points, 2 mintues left on the clock. Time to catch up. :)

Ah well.. Enough of the emo talk. Here's what i got for dinner
