Some simple updates...
1. I finally got my elective module ytd afternoon at abt 3pm... Its a linguistic module, and here's the course description for those of u out there who's wondering wad exactly it is:
"FUNDAMENTALS OF LINGUISTICS(B): STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM"
"This course presents an introduction to the sound and morphological systems of languages in the world. Students will learn to systematically examine smaller units of language by studying basic phonetics, phonology and morphology. Upon completing the course, students will be able to examine how language varies across speakers depending on their social and geographical backgrounds. They will also understand how power and attitude influence language use."
Its reli a miracle how I got, or rather 'snatched' this module, lolx... Some of you will hav heard how I got it, and I think u agree with me tat this is indeed a miracle tat is given by God :) Its not exactly a short story, and you need some background info, so those of you who are interested to find out more abt this miracle in my life, feel free to approach me and I'll fill you in on the details :)
2. Ytd I oso went to look at wad the various CCAs had to offer and a few of them caught my eye, namely Welfare Services Club (very high chance tat I'll join this), Ice-Skating Club (this is more of for fun la), Piano Ensemble (quite self-explanatory rite?) and Jazz & Blues (I get to play the keyboard as part of a full band in this one too!)
Welfare Services Club
A brief description...
Welfare Services Club is one of the largest student clubs in NTU. Currently, the club has over 500 student volunteers engaged in a wide array of volunteer work. Our main objectives are to promote voluntary service among students in NTU and beyond, and to instill a sense of social awareness among students and staff of NTU.

Maybe you're thinking...
"This guy doesnt have enough of CIP last time?" But I truly believe tat this is a very meaningful CCA, because I've always believed in making a positive difference in other ppl's life :) In this CCA, I get to reach out to children, youth and those who are handicapped... On top of tat, I may get the chance to go for overseas trips, camps and expeditions and its juz so exciting la! :) To me, I'm happy by knowing tat I've contributed juz tat little bit more to our society :D
3. I finally printed my notes up to date with the colour laser printer in my rm :) Gearing up for the tutorials during the weekend... I sound like a super mugger la, lolx...
4. Last but not least, thank you to the wonderful ppl who have been with me these first 2 weeks of sch, hearing my complaints and yet encouraging me, and oso sharing my joys together with me, esp. when the late night smses of "I finally got my Linguistics module" got thru! You guys noe who you are, thanks for being a bunch of great friends! :)))
