pre-school jitters
School's starting next month and already i'm feeling all apprehensive about it.
What with 2 years of stagnation, almost zero brain usage and being in a non social situation, going into uni seems quite a daunting task.
It doesn't help that before going in, i have to already meet deadlines and fill in forms, in terms of tuition grants, EZ-Link card applications, etc.
It's all too much to handle! I'm used to sitting back and waiting to be told what to do! Now that i have to go read up and find out myself, i find myself sorely behind.
I'm getting stressed out for no apparent reason basically.
Anyway, i've quit my job cos basically the opportunity costs aren't in my favour.
And i've sold out as well. As you guys can see, i've joined the Nuffnang community, which basically is like an advertising agency who uses blogs as their advertising mediums. They match their clients to bloggers who garner readership that are of the intended demographic, so that their ads will be shown on those blogs.
Well, you'll see adverts coming soon on this site cos this blog's been matched to one of their clients. Can't say much but it's quite cool. Hope i earn some, especially since i'm jobless now.
This is so random.
Edit: Why did i use "basically" so much.

no blood test!
I went for the NUS medical checkup today with Yeng Hian and friend, Justin.
It was, to my amazement, FUN!
We did the eyesight test, took our height (i have a new height, 171cm!) and weight and blood pressure, urine test and x-ray. Of cos, not forgetting the old zha bor doctor pressing the tummy and groin area.
Along the way i saw many familiar faces, but i didn't talk to any of them because i don't know them per se.
Oh, the nurse taking our blood pressure turned out to be Yeng Hian's neighbour staying in the same block. The conversation they had was quite hilarious.
Nurse: "Oh, you're staying in the same block as me!"
YH: "Is it? That's interesting."
Nurse: "Oh let me look at which floor you are staying in, is it above me or below me. Oh, it's below me. Ok ok, i thought i have to scold you because someone keep pouring water into my balcony. But nevermind, you're below me so can't be you la."
YH: -stun-
The nurse had to take his blood pressure twice because there was some weird sound. I suspect she just wanted to fondle his arms one more time la.
Then before that Justin's urine had too much glucose.
So i was joking that they each had one fault already, so later my turn. Maybe after the x-ray they found my ribs cracked or something.
After the whole thing, i was accosted by 3 different groups of camp facilitators promoting their individual camps. I ended up talking cock with one girl for about 30 - 40 mins. Boon Kian even joined in after he was done.
I was saying that even before i joined the school i made enemies already. I kept making fun of the girl's name. I couldn't help myself. Her name was Jitsy.
Ditzy. Dipsy. Gypsy.
Argh ok i should stop.
There's no more air-con in the office already! Time to zhao!
ps, Feather Keeper is fun! I'm at "F" now.
