My First Day of School - Today

Somehow, mine did not kick off very well. I forgot to let my father sign some documents before he left for work. Well, I had three bloody months to do it but I did not. Since I had to submit the forms today, I was only left with one choice - sign on behalf of him. (read: forge his signature). Well, 1 of them looked okay. One looked mutated but still acceptable. But the last one was totally unacceptable. Apa macam? Use liquid and liquid the mistake and photocopy it? BUT BUT BUT, it's a BLOODY PINK PAPER!

My candy friend searched the whole ss15 for that particular paper this morning while I sat in the car. (It's one stupid place where you can never find parking) Yes, all the shops had their own individual pink shades but not that BLOODY PINK. Sigh.

*75 minutes before registration closes**really chiak sai man*

The registration place was very systematic. There were 6-7 counters to go before the exit.

1st counter girl: Take this form, make correction in RED if you have any changes. Sign and go to the checking counter.

2nd counter girl: So do you have all your forms in alphabetical order?
Me: *die liao..now answer what?* Errr.. No .. I sorta destroyed the publication permission letter. Is there any way that I can get a new one? I'll submit by tomorrow morning.
2nd counter girl: Oh, you can go back to 1st counter and take it.

After taking that piece of BLOODY PINK PAPER, i went to the 3rd counter which is the data updating center.
3rd counter: So is everything ok?
Me: NO, MY NAME IS WRONG!
3rd counter girl: Oh okay

Then went to accounts counter.
*Submitted the new policy stuff (some e-invoicing crap)

Fifth counter would be the forms collection counter.
Me: Well, I have everything except for that particular sheet. I'll submit to admissions department by tomorrow.
Fifth counter girl: Okay, make sure you do it.

At the last counter, Student ID collection.
Sixth counter girl: Is everything right? If yes sign here.
Me: NO!! MY NAME IS WRONG!!
Sixth counter girl: Oh, then fill in this form.
*read: NAME, NICKNAME, STUDENT ID, PRES NO*
Me: Huh, NICKNAME? For what? Do I need this?
Sixth counter girl: Just fill it up
*yeah.. what am i going to put here? Ah Tu? Ah Goo? Ah Kau?*
*handed the paper back to the girl*
Sixth counter girl: Sign here and you may exit from there. (pointing to the back door)

*relief..so it was that easy? haih .. no earlier no need go ss15 find dunno what pink colour paper lah! .. ish*

I saw a number of people who I never did expect to see. (Not like I want to see them as well) Sigh. It's going to be a long long year and I may not survive in it man. In addition, I thought I would be seeing more decent males instead of ah bengs with orange hair. I felt strange. Really strange. So out of place. It's so way far different from what I was expecting. Thank God I met my ex classmate who was really nice and friendly. Otherwise, I would have died there.

During some opening/introduction speech, the speaker forgot to introduce himself. (Isn't that an important part?) With regards to Lao Tzu's 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime,' the speaker added, "Well, in here, we will not only teach you how to fish but also teach you to design the rods. You need different rods for different fishes." (I never did know that) Generally, he gave quite a
good speech with numerous quotes from different organisations. Dr. David Sackett was part of it. I never did know that he was the pioneer for evidence-based medicine sort of thing. After the speech, there was a photo session. (I absolutely have no idea why they did that but it was certainly long) My "smile muscles" hurt. Later, a "tour guide" took us on a free tour around the building. Ahhhhh.

When I was in the lift, I overheard a mother talking to his son about the course.

Mother: If I know you only have 1-2 hours of lecture a day, I rather not waste so much money and send you here just to do self-study.
Mother: blah blah blah dunno what else.
(See? Kids these days are so pampered. Spoon feeding sucks man!)

Later when I wanted to drive back home, my petrol tank was empty. (I definitely cannot reach home with that amount) Yes, the power of torsuiness kept following me everywhere lately. DAMN!!! Not knowing the area well, I don't even know where to find a petrol station. Sms-ed my friend and he told me the place. Oh boy, I really do sound pathetic these days.

I still have some English test tomorrow and by hook or by crook I have to pass. I am not spending a semester learning remedial english crap. My damn brain is so slow lately. Sigh.
