wow.. so much had happened in such a short time. I've never been through such suffocatingly hectic week in my life. In the first week itself, I started attending jap class,which was temporarily set on weds and thurs at 7pm. This is really not my choice of schedule cos i have class until 7pm almost everyday, if not until 10pm. But since it's not for long, i'll bear with it then. On Thurs, I ran off from Jap class midway because there's a presidents' council at 8pm, so i have to attend it. We were briefed about the club registration day, important dates like when to summit master plan and when to do AGM. I've conducted my first emina meeting to discuss about the club registration day, like preparing the introductions for emina, posters, laptops for new members database etc... During the week end, Wishbone came with a modem and helped us to install in our house. He din know how to configure our switch so we can't go online simultaneously. But then the nightmare had jz begun as there were worst to come...

On the 2nd week, we got ourselves in deep mess as our internet connection was slower than dialup. Though Shin Dee had came over to help us configuring the network, we still can't online with 5 computers at the same time. The line was so slow that even if 1 computer connects to the modem, the dl speed is 100kbit/s, which is suppose to be 700 above for our basic 1M package... everyone in the house was tremendously irritated and frustrated with it. We called the tmnet customer service non stop until everyone working there knows my name, but to no avail. All they do was asking how's the speed of our internet connection, when we've told them a zillion times that it's still 100kbit/s. URGH!

Life still goes on, with or without internet connection. We sleep early and wake up way earlier than before. This is a good sign i think, since we're living a healthy lifestyle. So, i wonder does internet connection + downloads = unhealthy lifestyle? XD Anyway, on tuesday night, we when to clc armed with posters, color papers, banners and stuffs. Clc was full of ppl that night as all other clubs were decorating their booth as best as they could. Gradually it became really packed and heat dissipates more intensely in the noisy atmosphere. When most of the hicomms had arrived, we started to decorate our booth. We tried very hard to arrange and then rearrange the posters and papers we wanna stick on the 2 partition boards and finally we got it nicely, though it's a bit messy :P. After that, we ran up 2nd floor to hang down our banner, which was a really tough job to do.. members on the ground were yelling directions while we on top were pulling the banner up. After much hussle, we finally tied it and mission completed. Wee~

The following days kill off all of us. Though Jin had came on Tues to configure the modem making it into a router, which enable us to online simultaneously, we din have much time to go online. But we were damn grateful to him XD. I went to class at 8am, then stay at booth afterclass to promote EMiNA to freshies besides enjoying the anime op, ed and promos screened on Shu Yin's laptop XD. We distribute flyers all over the place, until we've finish all 400 pieces in 1 day. Besides, the 3 receipt books were used up before half of the day was gone. *shocked* So i was running all over the place to buy receipt books and food and get small change from banks too. Of course i'm on bike, or i'd die after the first round. Haiz... but it's a good sign since we have many members, so nvm la~ But being in the booth whole day was really exhausting, which made me easily slipped off to dreamland in the air conditioned lecture rooms XD. On the last day, We've got about 317 members!! wohoo! our hard work did pay off after all~

On friday night we have 2nd meeting for preparation of Emina AGM. We discuss stuff, assign ppl posts and eventually end up watching anime. heheh.. it was fun and after meeting we had supper with the boys. Most of the time they were talking about gundams and stuffs we dun understand *sweatdrops* but we enjoy the company nontheleast. We were exhausted when we came back home. After all those hussle, i can't believe i'm still alive. On sat, 3 of us went to yam cha with Jin and Lynn and we had much fun chatting for several hours :P

Sunday was bliss as i've got ample sleep. But on Monday, my induction program (which involves using the lab equipments like oscilloscope and the power supply and stuff was a total disaster. i cant believe that our Oscilloscope wasn't working well and the setting for the function generator was a mess... This completely spoil my mood which was part of the lab instructors' fault. Even they weren't sure wat we are suppose to do, let alone us! WTF! I was damn angry in the lab that the fire of fury engulfed me thoughout the 3 hours. Of course i din finish the experiment but we were not required to do report, so be it! I DUN CARE!

Well, at the end of the day i cooled off since my anger dissipates very fast XD. hehe.. was really frustrated though as i dun understand a damn thing in class, especially Field Theory. Really hate the lecturer who dun care a dame whether students understanding his lecture or not. Well, might as well study on my own, which everyone always does whenever there's sucky lecs.

On tues and weds, i stayed at home most of the afternoon cos i've no class after 12-2 hehe.. so nice. On weds, Loo Mun called the complain line, 100 to make a telephone line report, and right after that a technician came, when we've called so many times to the customer support centre not even one technician came.. =__=||| He tried to connect to internet using another modem. Then when the speed test result was out, we were gawking incredulously at the screen... 1M! wat the hell?! When we tried to connect again with our own, it's back to 100kbit/s. Immediately we knew it's the modem that's killing off our speed. luckily we got another modem for free and our speed is finally 1M !! yey~ after 10 days of suffering we finally got good internet connection! *in bliss*

Then, on thurs, which was yesterday, I went to the robotics club AGM and had much fun participating the boat-building game.XD we were given 5 piece of paper (photostat sheets of field theory tutorial XD) 10 straws and tape to build our boat, which is to float even after weights were put in it. I joined Kok Poh and his housemate's groups as i din know anyone else there. They were a bunch of wacky ppl and as we were pondering about the structure of the boat, we were joking and laughing like hell. In the end, we had a rough idea of our boat and started making it. It was practically a raft with 4 cones in the bottom, filled with air. it looked like the cardboard which eggs are placed on top. And due to it looks like sth else too, Leo, one of my wacky teammate named it 'the floating bra'. I almost choked myself (i'm the only gal in the group) while others were rolling with laughter. Well, in the end our Floating bra won us the first place! damn good floating device it was XD

after some refreshment and video clips showing us the robotfest with participants and their cool robots doing great stunts, the agm ended at about 11pm. When i get back, Jin was already in my room reconfiguring the modem. Before long he was done with it XD. Now all can online with great speed! finally~ *sigh*

This morning i was dreading the electronics lab so much that i got up in a fright, dreaming that i've missed the lab. ^^; But it wasn't that bad after all, as the lab instructors were capable and part of it is that we dun have to do much XD except drawing about 20 graphs of the sinosoidal waves. Me and Kristine finished about 12.20 and we were really happy about it. Then we had lunch in the pork shop and came back contented. So here i am, finally updating my blog XD. well, i've got to finish up my assignment before kristine kills me off~
