not to gamble

yes this is an update of my life.

for the first time in my entire NUS life, i got all my first-choice slots in the first round of tutorial balloting. for the past 5 semesters.. i either had to got through rounds of balloting and get slots that weren't ideal or manually register for them. i am so thankful for this sheer luck of mine. glad to be able to secure the modules and all the wanted tutorial slots with not much of a burden this round.

things happen in a weird way. couple of semesters ago.. i started off the semester with only 2 modules and had to pull hair to get my timetable right. ups and downs, they said.. maybe this up was to compensate that down back then.. lol. or it is a sign not to gamble during the upcoming lunar new year.

yeah not all about gambling is luck but still to "do well" in gambling, sheer luck plays a part as well. so maybe this up could be a warning or a hint to not gamble during that time. haha nonetheless, me deciding whether to or not pretty much depends on how much spare cash i have in the end. until next time then, cheers.

no combo

yes this is an update of my life.

so yeah.. not surprised that the record of updating of my blog daily has been broken the moment school started. no more consecutive combo anymore. i am back swimming in the deep oceans of year 3 semester 2. the first week has just begun and i hoping to have more free time already. too much things i want to do but too little time. of all the things, catching up with lecture isn't really inside. come on, it is just week one.

nonetheless, my aim of not missing classes without legit reasons is still in play. missed a lecture last week but it was due to an interview appointment anyway.. not those days where i just decided to stay in bed longer out of laziness. those days are over since year 1. yes, hall life took quite a toll back then. residential life did not deprive me of that much sleep time comparatively.. though i am told otherwise now and then.

week one. of course, i am still surviving. seasoned student.. lol. busy days ahead since there are things like tutorial bidding, chinese new year, CCA gatherings upcoming. until next time then, cheers.
