Believe it or not, this is my first real attempt at a day diary entry for a mundane day at school. Before that I only wrote for my adventures while travelling overseas or blog about random stuff. Here goes...

I woke up early this morning, at about 7:45am. (It is considered early for a deep sleeper like me.) As I had some time to spare, I read "Infoquake" for about roughly an hour before I set off from my apartment with heavy footsteps. This is my first day of year 3... I swore to myself NOT let the emotions get the better of me. It is time gather up my mental energy and gear myself for the final assault.

Freshmen were packed like sardines in areas around the Atrium and the main entrace, but none of them really mattered to me. I entered the classroom for my first lecture of the year. It was an introductory lecture and I had already read the lecture materials beforehand. Nothing special, except the tutor for that module is the module tutor of my friend, Cai Fu. Cai Fu entered the class after me, making nonsensical comments as we started a conversation. In my polytechnic days, he was always the one who went the extra mile to make my day better...

Following the lecture was a staggering 3-hour lunch break. Well, technically it was 4 hours today as the introductory lecture ended early. Cai Fu and I joined another friend at the eGarage. It was then I found that the people in the director's list would go to LT26 for their prize presentation ceremony while the rest of us had to go to LT28 for the meaningless semester briefing. I felt sour. Cai Fu is in the director's list for this semester.

I found myself having lunch with Taro, Stephen, Krezash, Gabriel and Chris, followed by walking with Taro and Krezash down to the E-Square just to find out what they were busying with. Turns out they picked up some projects and took part in the ImagineCup. Sourness returned... I ought to have felt happy for them but deep under I was envious of the invisible bonds between them, the members of Kenny's group (made up of Kenny, Taro, Krezash and Stephen). The group which I used to have fond memories with. The group which now stands strong, because I'm no longer part of it.

Probably I'm just young. (kore ga wakasa ka... -Quattro Vageena) I shook away my feelings of jealousy and muttered to myself words of comfort. Leaving in haste, I found my next area of comfort, the crowded heart of the Atrium, now filled with booths for the CCA Fiesta. I searched for the Chinese Orchestra booth...

The time for my second lecture came. Again, I entered the classroom early, before familiar faces appeared and settled themselves around the classroom in their favourite seats. Yes, my Software Engineering classmates. Jeremy, Chee How, Taro and some girl who seemed to be a close friend of his, and Krezash with his girlfriend. I looked back at my "Infoquake" book, pretending to be nonchalant about their presence and not to show any signs of envy. Jeremy's presence and Chee How's friendliness calmed me down before Cai Fu came in. Feeling peace, I fell asleep... (right after snapping at Cai Fu for feeling stressed about Taro's existence). Talk about mental energy. =D

Following the lecture immediately was my Japanese lesson. I behaved strangely (sometimes even inappropriately) in all my Japanese classes. Probably because I was too engrossed in learning the language. My Sensei did not mind though, all she did was to remind me to hand up my homework as I did not hand up a single piece of it last semester. That elicited a laugh from me and I think, some of the other classmates. There were two new female students. I had to control myself, but with Sho next to me... I failed to do so. He is a catalyst for my crazy self to appear, much like Cai Fu is. Anyway I made plenty of mistakes. A classmate tried to correct me once, but I did not understand her until the teacher announced the answer.

I met my dad at the first floor of my apartment block. Immediately I poured to him the events of the day. I'm a sucker for comfort... He acknowledged my words as mere ranting and some words of determination (he always does so to make sure I have no negative intent like revenge). He accompanied me for my late dinner before leaving for a handphone shop.

The day ended after I finished watching the last 3 episodes of Super Robot Taisen Original Generation -Divine Wars-. It had been a short anime with many details left from the Original Generaion game. I do not have much comments for the anime as many plot elements are already known to me through the other Super Robot Taisen games such as the Alpha series. However, the last part was explosively hot-blooded as everyone unleashed their ultimate attacks. Of course, many grunt units were killed in the final war...

It surprised me a little when Cobray appeared. Did he travel through dimensions from the 3rd Super Robot Taisen Alpha game to save Ryuusei and the SRX team? I felt a tinge of pity for Ingram Prisken and Aya Kobayashi... they were a tragic couple. However, this is the first time I did not shed a single tear for such a heated mecha anime ending.

Perhaps I'm happy for the characters, who got to fight alongside one another, no matter how desperate the war became...

So here I am, writing a detailed blog about just ONE day in my life. The blogging didn't work well as I can't expect it to be interesting enough. However, this is a milestone. I look forward to blogging about happy things in the future!
