my slacking days is officially over... went to school for the first time in 3 months...familiarity...glad that i know there is an as7 to print notes! haha the central library is just filled with ppl waiting to print notes... bleh... and i think i need to get a cashcard soon.. hahha oh and i realize that i lost quite a lot of pens when i serve (cuz i lend my pens to other ppl and it will miraculously disappear! hahha )

the weekend was an awesome experience - flea market! it was our first time participating in it and i think its quite successful! haha earned $602.75 and minus the rental cost $104 = a profit of $498.75!! each of us got $110 :) though its not like we earned alot alot but i think the experience was quite good! despite the aches for standing for long hours, its good to be able to sell my stuff away! the amount of things we had to sell was like a mountain! managed to clear away 3 bags of my stuff. and luckily we had ckl's father to fetch us around! esp the van! otherwise i really wonder how are we gonna transport everything! oh and saw limin there! so coincidental! its been 3 mths since i last saw her! haha and found out she's going canada for SEP! so good! great catching up session with her :) hope to have another flea in dec! haha can sell the rest of my dvds!

and more about the first 2 lectures of the sem! nature and society and transport economics!

nature and soc was quite fun, the lecturer was funny! learnt that he really love the $1 coke sold at school! haha and learning about nature oso let me think more and to appreciate nature. but nature is also not just full of beauty and tress and flowers, but nature also has its ugly side, the hurricanes and earthquakes etc. but its only when you're able to appreciate both sides of nature, you'll learn that life should not be taken for granted, that we learn beauty from the ugly.

as for transport economics, the facts and info he gave was interesting, but it made me think that i gotta revise what i learnt in micro and public finance! haha scary! but transport economics is so geographical - talking abt urbanisation, land use, building of cities etc. quite interesting, but i think its not easy at all... and the prof changed it to closed book!! why oh why does this always happen to me :( haha oh and this phrase that really caught me: "we always value losses more than gains". how true this is. we only learn the value of something and want to cherish it only after we lose it. this is really quite a sad truth.

oh well... hopefully my other 3 mods will be fun and not too difficult! haha i already foresee that i have a ton of readings to do! i'm already behind! D: need to go print all the readings out! but ivle was soooo slow today! stuck in as7 for like 20 mins just to print 3 lecture notes!!! roar!! opportunity cost! hiaz!
