soccer is bad for the knee

I stayed at home to do my homework today, don't know if doing homework = mugging. For the first time in my life I have the tags of "nerd" and "mugger". Oh yes you know who you are, 'taggers'. I purely did my homework, which I do admit for the first week of school is rather heavy. Then again, the work belongs to USP so I expect it to be heavy. Puts the usually FASS stuff into perspective of being difficult I guess. I wouldn't know, its just week 1. And no its not the whiplash of stress, in fact I'm rather stress free and have never felt so alive since JC days. I don't really care if I get bad or good results, as long as I pass. So yes, rather stress free, for now.

Quite enjoying school for now, and I have been paying attention in every class, even in the boring-put-me-to-sleep philosophy class. Problem lies with the lecturer, not the subject. He just reads off everything thats supposed to have been read by the students earlier. He has been the most spoon-feeding teacher so far, and ironically, his not even Singaporean, so I don't know where this spoon-feeding culture developed in him, cause I have always judged it as a typical Singaporean education system habit. Yes I judge. Notice the excessive use of "for now", that's cause I don't want to take the current situation for granted.

Watched UP in 3d with Shan, and oh my god, I honestly think its one of the best movies I have ever seen. After getting pass the initial minute of giddiness after putting the 3d spectacles on (which if you ask me, doesn't make much difference), it was just a gripping movie from the start to the end. Pixar gets better and better all the time. I couldn't even spot a flaw in the story line. It played with so many emotions and felt better than a roller coaster ride. Someone next to me was sobbing from the start of the movie, although she thinks I can't see due to the 3d specs, and she won't admit it. Only gripe of the day would be the smoker seated on my right who couldn't shut his mouth while breathing. I could smell his burnt lungs a mile away. 

Went for the jazz band welcome tea and was rather fun jamming after such a long hiatus in that area. Used to jam so frequently, and now I feel the rust building up. Some WD40 of music and I feel that I'm back. Although we all know that it will probably last for 3 seconds due to the syndrome of lazy bones.

Proposed to Shan about having a small get together next week or maybe the week after. Probably cook something simple and invite friends over. Chill and do stuff. Should we wait for an event, or just do it anyhow. I don't know, let me know, cause I don't know. Liang, when are you coming back? Maybe we can organize something for you. For the first time in months, I feel we have nothing left to celebrate for.
