jam session on campus
Instead, an endless stream of drama prevails.
Chicken Rice and the Yong Tau Foo! $2/each!
the insanely cheap noodles @ $1.30!
and the FRESHLY cooked, super crisp peanut butter waffle $1
Initially, I had thought that the school environment would bring a lot of excitement and joy.
Instead, school has brought an uncanny array of disturbing mix of Rambo-Korean Drama minus the good skin.
People just love to quarrel.
Of course I enjoy the process of studying. There’s Bio, which brings back wonderful YKJ and T Tan, my loopy course coordinator, amongst other interesting ‘specimens’ in the form of ad hoc lecturers.
sooooooo cute!
and super smart
Consisting of 48 students from all over the island, my class is made up of a melting pot of people from all walks of life. We have drama queens (with me at the top of the list), fashion divas, cam whores, eager beavers and those that look as though they prefer to haunt the shadows at night.

Seeing Saz always alone in a corner, I invited Saz to hang out. Though sometimes she craps about her relationships from yonder years, I felt bad when she confided that she doesn’t eat during break because she doesn’t know her way around. Sad eh?
There are many more like her.
Being a mature student is not easy. I guess it’s easier when you look like a student. But when you obviously do not fit into that mould, then life gets a lot harder. People mistake you for a lecturer, or someone else's mom.
And with a large group of women (and only 2 males), you can be sure of an estrogen tsunami. Though most of my classmates don't bother each other and try to mingle, there are still people that prefer to stick within their own circle.
With repeated drama sparking a slew of never ending scream fests, its getting harder and harder to control my emotions.
Rage is extremely difficult to control.
What used to be a slow burn I can snuff out, explodes in a snap. It’s so bad I can feel myself turning violent. The best solution I can think of now is to avoid such blardy situations.
On the home front, life’s ok. Gremlin’s having his exams and revision’s underway. Hopefully he can pass. Though through time, I’ve learnt that its wise to not have undue expectations. Haha.. As long as I’ve done my part, I have the courage to say it’s alright.
I can live with it.
Right now, I'm looking forward to Sharon Lee's return in Dec. This round, Berji will also be popping by mid Dec so it'll be awfully nice to finally meet him!
