okay i was kidding towards the end

dont worry im still the same o’ christine

speaking of comparing profs, my social pscyhology prof, Jens Förster, is blond, gay, open, bitchy and belongs to a band. Now beat that all of you. Hahahah. But I’m not joking though. He sets a research paper as a major criteria for our course and it’s basically an open paper, meaning you can write about any social problem in IUB and apply a social psych theory. So my paper will focus on the extent of heuristics influencing IUB guys who are attached, to cheat on their girlfriends. Muahaha. And he thinks it’s interesting and unique and I should go for it. I just hope I get a good grade.

Since I got started on profs, I shall just continue la huh. My lab prof is a woman, she’s new to the school, and she’s my advisor’s wife. She is so inexperienced in the classroom setting and giggles at rapid and regular intervals ie. when she’s nervous, when she’s earnest, when she is really amused. I can’t differentiate between the nuances anymore.

My gender prof is cool, I think she’s hot and appealing, she’s turkish. Very attractive face. She thinks I’m exotic and she’s excited her class is full of multi-racial girls. That’s right, no boys in a feminism class. How stereotypically pathetic. There was one guy before the add/drop course deadline, but he was gay and we didn’t like his snooty comments. So boot. Pity he’s a psych major and I have to tolerate him at least 3 times a week.

I have told you all about my boring, slow, russian, female math prof already.

My research methods prof is anal and his first name is Santa Claus’ with a K. Funnily enough, he rewarded me with a frying pan because i won some guessing-number thing he organised for the college.

my narrative prof is nice but he cant teach. how many of those have we come across all our educational lives, i wonder.

i am neutral and almost apathetic about my scientific work learning skills teacher. i heard she’s a great skater.

so all my profs and teachers know who i am, because i have been plaguing them with emails about how incompetent their teaching is but brilliant and clever they are in their fields….no, i wouldnt dare. not yet anyway. but i have been emailing nearly everyone. yes, in fact everyone. i have emailed every prof at least twice.

but no, nothing like the harris/ho/lofty student-teacher connection. not so far anyway. i have a feeling Rommel, this poetry/lit prof has the potential of being the only skilled teacher from IUB in my books. have to wait till next sem to forge such a connection. plus he loves Donne!! exciting.

hullo hullo.its a sunday!i watched the 40 yr old virgin.pretty silly really but it was quite a laugh also la.i book in tonight back to camp,so miss me people.anyway anyone have any good reading material to tell me about?i havent read anything(other than the sports pages and maxim) and so im beginning to feel really stupid.oh and i watched an episode of Rouge on channel 5 that day and that was really stupid also.what on earth are they playin on local television.you tsd folks should go start a media corporation and produce quality stuff.some of ya’ll got exams coming up right?well good luck!i cant wait to study again.alrite seeya’ll!

I can finally post!!

Not sure why but previously everytime I logged on I went automatically into a blank page Also when I send mass emails hardly anyone gets it! Gmail sucks because I heard hotmail makes everything gmail spam, hahaha! Anyway sorry to all for not being able to attend the class bbq, my parents actually came down to visit me so I had to cater to them first, naturally It was good to see some of you at the into the blue screening/roti prata @ nus the other day! Although I feel like slapping jessica alba for that annoying butt of hers (I might be jealous!!), I’m glad I went to the screening anyway. Its sad that sometimes things I remember about the class becomes a bit fuzzy and I get a little confused as to who likes what and who does what and who always says what already Don’t worry I still remember how you all look like!! What I’ll remember is that it was always great- bonded and fun and lazi-fying, uni’s so different! I worry sometimes that I’d get kicked out of NTU, I think I’ve skipped too much and slept too much, I really miss VJ where I wouldn’t really get into trouble anyway and there’s the TSD haven anyway !!!! Heheheh ironically Uni’s where you’re supposed to be all grown up and independent and it doesn’t really matter what you do. ALL LIESSSS!!!!

I wonder how you guys overseas are doing! *waves* I miss each and everyone of you so much!!!! Even if we weren’t always close (I know I’m a bit private/anti-social sometimes), I just want you all to know you were all a huge part of me and you’ll always be like my family

Yeah I’ll post more normal stuff next time, I just felt like being slightly sappy.
LOVE!

*peeks*

Hi guys!!! This place is sooooo strange to me. Hail to darling Chris who is leading me through this step by step, idiot proof that is. =)

Seems that everyone is well adjusted to Uni life! Uni life revolves around mugging 24/7 and getting guilty when you’re not, 2 lethal doses of coffee a day (I arm myself with coffee for morning lectures… religiously bless the guy who discovered the wonders of coffee beans and the bloody MNCs who are exploiting 3rd world countries to provide us with cheap coffee, ha) and loads of friggin projects (which you write zombie-like, half of the time with no idea what you’re talking abt). Chris, I’m sure the lit test is bull. Haha… cos 23.5/25? C’mon, Harris will flip. You know how he came down on me for Donne. I wrote atrocious stuff for JC lit!

I miss everyone!!! Am really happy now cos I managed to meet Lenny for dinner and the most of u guys on Mel’s charity screening. You girls are looking smoking hot!

hello one and all. i read fatma’s ‘marinated prawns’ and felt extremely touched. which also triggered me to do some for my international friends here this weekend hopefully.

sorry i took so long to blog. extremely busy. quick update: cheerleading competition on saturday with me as choreographer, we danced to LOSE MY BREATH by DC, thanks a million fatma for the mp3’s ) we only started practice on thursday night. it seemed so familiar, the last-minute-ness of it all haha. well we didnt win the cup though my house, mercator won soccer finals. the jury was biased towards college 3 whose cheerleading was to some sean paul repetitive number. EVERYONE said we were good, and that mattered to me more than the cup (i lie, i cheat myself,im trying to make myself feel better muahahah) anyways, then amid all that mumbo jumbo dancing shit, i have to prepare a presentation on RHETORIC for monday ie today. singapore edu system taught me well, i prepared 14 slides in 45 mins on thursday with a 7 page PDF file full of tiny fonts about rhetoric and aristotle and all that. so wish me luck i wow them with my impressive presentation skills. it’s graded by the way.

then every monday means lab quiz, so on top of the above mumbo jumbo restmüll (meaning ‘rubbish’ in german) i had to cramp my brain with psychophysics and thrustone scaling, half of which is so terribly boring i could cry. and i finally got myself tipsier than usual and i was nothing like the ‘high’ self u guys know. i was quiet and i was swaying slightly and when i dropped my coke bottle down the stairs, i bent TOWARDS the bottle instead of taking the steps TO the bottle, and the rest is history. there’s a tiny but devellishly sore bruise on the small of my back. (

i am currently getting 1.0s on my other school elective instead of my major: my second math assignment scored 198/200. shocking. i think its obscene: my lab quizzes are PATHETIC! perhaps i might become a math major next sem if things dont look too good. hahahha. oh god.

i am still reeling from shock and disgust at the TERRIBLE accents these eastern europeans have. god. GOD! this includes bad grammar as well. selected few speak perfectly here. there’s this brit-pakistani girl in my gender class with an amazing brit accent and she intimidates the teacher. hahaha. i love those classes ‘cos i enjoy seeing the teacher stutter when miriam raises her hand to slam her points on the feminine body or something on jane austen.

the food here can be really challenging to my palate. but ive been cooking and using my rice cooker to its maximum potential. i have been watching CSI season 3 episodes with a passion, simply ‘cos ive hardly had a TV-entertainment life since I came.

It’s been only a month, and my first mid-term exam is next thursday: math. good lord. they really don’t spare us here.

by the way, i got tipsy with sweet wine. jsut a mug full. and on an empty stomach, a fatigued body and mind, right after cheerleading. that explains it all. i mean, when i went to this zouk-like club called CAPITOL, outside bremen, i downed three whisky-cokes and a bottle of beer and was unaffected. i swear.

i really need to shop. thank god money’s coming in 2 days or so. then i’ll go crazy in hamburg. muahaha. EDB is coming to Köln/Cologne in November and all the singaporean students in germany are gathering then/there. Not really for the edb interviews but more for the gathering of singlish-speaking singaporeans who will celebrate hari raya together as well. wheeeeee!

on campus, diwali and hari raya/eid mubarak will be celebrated together! imagine that!!!! so fun!

germany GIVES incoming international students 150 euros for coming to germany to study. that’s about 330 sing bucks. im getting it this week.

rashez from VJ/TSD is applying to IUB, and i know she’ll get it. i’m kinda proud i pioneered the sporean undergrad batch. wheeeee. she will be doing integrated social sciences. i know her arrival will confuse the stupid international ppl here, cos she’s punjabi and all and they wont be able to understand why i look like this and why she looks like that and we come from the same country. those idiots. i can see it coming already. i hope to fabricate stories with rashez about our little pretty hot island. )

wowow.hullo everyone.i played soccer today after i booked out.and it was really fun.hahah yesyes boring stuff.anyway i would like to thank everyone for their overwhelming response regarding the amazing a52 bbq.except the bloody ns boys.where the fuckin hell are ya’ll??:)
ok pple,have an awesome weekend!
