things i have done since joining mdis...
1) learn stuff i wanna learn about. duh. that's the main reason why i left engine behind anyway. but honestly, 2 modules into mass comm and i'm loving what i'm learning. everything just seems so relevant, and it has definitely opened my eyes and given me new perspectives on things.
2) become the de facto class rep. *sigh*. all because i decided to compile the class list. guess it's a sign for me to be proactive and step up a bit from that usual shy self. which leads into...
3) use my dictionary a heckuva lot more. yeah, i checked up the meaning of 'de facto' before i plugged it in to make sure the meaning was correct. all for the sake of accurate word usage.
4) meet a bunch of wildly contrasting, yet somehow similarly funky bunch of people. it's pretty funny ya know. so many different personalities, yet somehow, i just feel right at home. and despite the different cliques here and there, from the guys only group to the group of us at the back, i think we're all gelling together really nicely...
5) hear lotsa great and hillarious one-liners. hohoho. from omar's catch phrases ("easy peasey, lemon squeezy", "alritey mighty, aphrodite") to some of the really side-splitting unintentional utterings (mandy's "our promise is to deliver what we promised"... and to maintain family-friendliness, i shall refrain from typing out prassy's all-time classic line ;) ... and ivan's mah-pleh story. muahahaha.
6) start a winning eleven culture. doh. so much for studying after school...
7) playing 30-ball cutthroat. 6 guys, 1 pool table, 30 balls. all out sniping.
8) football sessions. got scared off by one really near lightning strike 1st time out and wore my heels off with 2 incredibly huge blisters thanks to wearing my field boots for the 1st time. 2nd time out, we got our heads handed to us by a bunch of vietnamese fellas. 3rd time out at the old SPE, totally burnt by the sun. read the post below, but that game was great... looking forward to the 4th one with omar joining us...
9) contra. up up down down left right left right a b start. or was it b a? doh. hillarity ensues as a bunch of 20+ year old guys start re-imagining themselves as 8, 9 year olds playing on the venerable NES, leaping around, blasting aliens and hurling expletives at the sudden, unexpected deaths that occur. i miss my NES...
10) playing badminton with ping pong paddles. i'm terrible with racquets as it is. and the scandal that has followed has yielded a good chuckle or two with conan's evil spinning. but yeah... badminpong or pingminton was one wacky experience.
11) and lastly (probably for now till i have new things to add/remember and cos my head hurts... >_<), taking photos in class on the last day of journo... here's to the next 2 years, people.
