god. registration was the sadest thing ever la.. everyone had their envelopes with their Student Portal login BUT i don't have cos mine isn't ready? WTF!!!! then well have goodie bag.. which was donated by Art Friend.. and it was a really small bag.. ok la they cram quite a lot of stuffs inside..

went for the student's briefing? i almost fell asleep cos the chairs were like stiff and everyone was packed inside and close together... barely any living space.. which makes me feel very very uncomfortable.. President was funny.. the DAA representative was like Zzz.. Booooring.. DSS not so bad.. Counseling was hilarious.. then had a cheapskate tour around the school.. then had ""lunch"" in school..they ordered catering and they got their student volunteers to carry silver platters and walk around school serving us >.< 

then they even had Milo Truck haha.. then there was a DJ system on the Lucid Fields (Swiss Artists' work) so whole thing was rather cool.. i like the Lucid Fields..sadly i think its going to be torn down soon for a new art.. sad.. should have taken a few pictures of it.. 

well had introduction to faculty which is Music.. took a more in depth tour of our Music Blocks.. basically our important blocks are G E C.. G for Studios. E for Admin. C for Practice Rooms..  The practice rooms are really really cool.. if i can.. i think i might want to book my 2 hours there everyday.. feel better there than at home practicing.. haha.. and theres a Grand Piano there too and its Air Conditioned.. ok basically the whole building is just really really nice.. though navigating around might get difficult but i'll get used to it if i live in it long enough.. after all only a few places i'll be.. haha library or practice room or classroom. 

so we had our first assignment today.. create a music or at least make a form of music with your imagination.. contemporary.. you're given a word.. and you express it in a group.. there was Serenity/Gravity/Friction/Space/Lethargy and my group got Lethargy.. i was really very very tired in that practice room.. 1st i was the guy playing the piano.. everyone thought it was great other than well i didn't want to go on cos i can't notate what i play.. it just comes to me and i play.. so i got this other Singaporean Chinese to play the piano instead since he is in Classical Piano (surely better than me >.<).. ok thank god he was Singaporean and Chinese.. we understood each other rather well.. he understand the music i'm trying to drive at.. how i'm trying to portray this Lethargy.. whereas perhaps the 2 Indonesian girls don't really understand and they stone and whine a lot? the Burmese girl i say i applaud her effort (= ... she knows her voice don't sound very nice but she tried really hard to make nice vocals.. which turned out not bad.. haha.. clap clap.. then we had a addition of a Singaporean Malay, for Popular Piano.. haha.. we were quite a mixed bunch but generally our common is Classical.. i'm Classical Pipa.. which sounds really weird but haha.. 

What was our comments we received? it was overly dramatic which is rather good.. haha.. thanks to me.. haha just kidding its a collective work effort.. thanks to the help of our seniors also.. haha.. if i remember their names were, Iris, somebody and somebody.. >.<

Guess what... I got to do YOGA... musicians get together doing Yoga.. hmm.. haha.. Lecturers are invited to join us (= 

Library was very cool.. i tell you the technology there is like LOVE.. everything is run by Macintosh.. so everywhere you'll just see a MacBook or MacBook Pro or iMac or basically Apple Computers.. well i'm a rather Macintosh pig already though haha.. i use Apple Live Messenger, my web browser is Safari, and i have the iPhone. i want a MacBook.. its like on offer at campus? but it ain't really that cheap.. i was thinking maybe i get a part time job while studying? then collect that money and buy it next year when they have orientation for the new students >.<>
