Drawn into the meelee

Blogspot obviously hates me.

Anyway, school's starting to take its toil on me. And it's only the third week, when all hell breaks loose, a.k.a the start of tutorials and assignments and deadlines and projects and reflections. Why haven't I gotten used to all this even after 4 semesters? MKT tutorial was enjoyable today, because I successfully got the assignment I wanted (on BMW and Aston Martin ads), and we're working on Sony for our group case assignment. Yays. Elmie asked us what our names meant during 2201 tutorial, so I came home and did this search on www.babynames.com just minutes ago.

Julie:
The meaning of the name Julie is Youthful, Downy
The origin of the name Julie is French
Notes: Diminutive form of Julia

I'm French. Oooooooohhh.


Just some backlog blogging here before I dive back into my assignment. NUS GEYAO's Welcome Tea was a successful event, despite some severe technical glitches on the first day and complaints received from the school for congregating so many people at the function room and using up so many chairs. Face it, Big Brother. We're definitely more appealing to the student body than all your red tape tangled together. So cut us some slack, or continue to be a nuisance. Sometimes, adults can be so annoying.











Thanks to Daniel Chia for the splendid photos! Don't mind if I kop some of these for non-commercial use! Anyway, if you're wondering why Bun and RongSheng were making kissy expressions and gesticulating, they were hoping (on both days of the Welcome Tea) that we would repeat what we did for the internal FBH. Haha. We didn't.


Saturday marked the last day of my tuition at Tiong Bahru. The parent decided that it would be better if she sent her two kids to a tuition centre and participate in learning as a group, so she decided that I should stop tutoring her kids. And that was before her daughters decided to do well and score in their CAs last week, placing one within the top 3 in her class and the other the most improved in creative writing (that's what I teach).
2 words: good luck.
Jack decided to be play the good future son-in-law role early by helping my mum and I do grocery shopping and lugging in the afternoon, and stole a glimpse of my birthday present from my parents. Hehe. Will probably reveal it after my birthday, so I don't get robbed before my birthday. Haha. Then we got so tired, we each occupied one of the 2 sofas in my living room and dozed the afternoon away, until he had to drag me off to have dinner. One of my favourite days.

Yesterday evening was spent celebrating Jack's grandma's birthday, and as usual the karaoke session that was running synchronously with the dinner was entertaining. He's from a family of born singers! Haha. But his family gatherings are always so enjoyable and lively, it never gets bored, even when I can't eat three-quarters of the delicacies they serve. Haha.

Argh. Back to 3219.
