Day 1.
Okay, so I was super lazy to climb the overhead bridge so I just took 197 to Jurong East, where I can take 52 to school. Furthermore, I kind of knew that there'd be people cutting the queue at Eunos station, so I was too lazy to get pissed off by that too. Wouldn't want to risk getting my morning ruined.
And tadah, I was late by half an hour. Don't blame me, but it was super cold on the bus trip so I had to go for a pee first before heading to class okay?
I was so darn nervous, wondering who'd be in my class and shit, but then I thought: Hey, it shouldn't be so bad, the people would be new because I'm repeating this module after all. Yea... Think positive even under the circumstances.
What a pleasant surprise to see that it was my Engmec teacher who greeted me. And even more surprising to see that there were only three other guys in the classroom. In the end, class officially started an hour after the designated time. Hehe.
Even better? Class ended half an hour earlier.
So I made my way to Ang Mo Kio for some reason. I just felt like going to Nanyang Poly for a visit, but it was too early because neither Asleah nor Farizah had ended class yet. I ended up walking a few blocks around Ang Mo Kio, in the sun too! I love being in the sun!
I found its library too, and it felt like I'd found a lake in the desert. The way it was located too, just standing there alone among other smaller buildings and the park opposite it... You should see it. I think it's gorgeous.
Headed off to Bishan to find Shushan [resulting in my giving her the nickname Shubi hahahahaha] [no, I'm sad I didn't get to go NYP in the end] and we sat at the library cafe waiting for Asleah and Farizah. Asleah came a while after but we waited for Farizah til the counter girl came over and was like, Hey yo if you wanna sit here you gotta buy something yo.
I had library pasta for the first time ever! It's quite cheap too, $4.90 for a plate of chicken cream pasta, along with a can of Coke. Only before 5pm though, because it's student meal.
Anyway, we shared a carton of wedges as well, while deciding where to go next. A pity that we couldn't make it for any thrift stores, so we settled in for Bugis Street. A usual haunt since our secondary school days actually, especially for Shushan and I!
We walked around the second and third levels of Bugis St til my legs went sore! Asleah and Shushan bought more stuff. I was just browsing and shit, because I didn't really have money either [was on the hunt for bowler hat though]. But I did buy this pullover with cat heads all over it! It's so adorable! I had to borrow money from Shushan, and I feel terrible for it but thank you so much!
We were there for three hours I think? Asleah couldn't stop browsing! We all had to make sure she walked ahead of us so she wouldn't wander off again!
My legs were aching by the time I got home. I'm happy with my purchase, though I had to wait til my granny left the room before I could take it out of my bag and hide it under my pile of clothes hehehe. She'd kill me if she knew I bought more clothes okay???

Day 2.
I was late for class again, no surprise. Hey don't look at me like that! It's an 8AM class okay? This class was crowded for some reason, but I saw a few familiar faces, namely the cool guys from my IJ team back in Sem 1.
Shi Hui is also in most of my classes this semester. She was from my previous class too, and seems like she's really glad to have me here with her for the sem! We had EG1 next, which is another module which I'm repeating. I promise to do my best this time.
So we met Susan during our break! She seemed to have gotten a little tanned, I think. But still the same old Susan, same cheerful/annoying Susan! I don't think I have any classes with her this semester, since she's passed everything and is miles and miles ahead of me.
The practical class for DAELN [or whatever] was next, and this was actually not that bad as I'd expected. I hadn't bought notes yet so I had to share with the guy next to me. Didn't really catch his name but it was entertaining to get all confused with the machines together with him!
At the end of class, this dude from the other side of the classroom came over and asked if I had a stapler. Well I had one, but I had to dig through my pencil case because it was buried by my pens. In the meantime he asked me, "What's your name? I'm Shan [I think that's how it's spelled]."
So I told him my name, and he was like "Oh I see!", with this grin, and he stuck out his hand. Well fuck me for this, I actually thought he was asking for a handshake! I already had my hand in the air towards his when I realised he was holding his hand out for the goddamned stapler.
Okay, so far this is the only class which I'd interacted with at least three new faces. Improvement!
We had programming afterwards, and I was in the same class as none other than Faiz. Yes, my good old classmate from good old 5/1 2012. Just like he occasionally did last year, he kept disturbing me. But it's comforting to know that I have at least him to ask if I have any problems in ComPro in the future.
Class ended, school ended, and I made my way to Jurong East. Sat in the library for two hours, and I couldn't help it but I started getting emotional. My eyes kept tearing up, and my heart kept aching.
'Aamir arrived at 7.30, and by this time I was already nearly a mess. I talked to him about it already but I still couldn't help being so riled up over it. I'm not gonna elaborate about what my problem was this time, but he told me that he actually felt guilty for it as well.
He got me soya bean, and that was when I started feeling better. He started annoying me as usual, and I kept making a mock sulky face, just to hold in my laughter whenever he was jokingly insulting me. He is so annoying! But we all know I love him all the same.
So I told him I wanted to go into H&M, but he wouldn't allow me! Finally he said, "Okay fine. But you have ten minutes." I got so excited I quickly finished up my soya bean and went to throw it into the nearest rubbish bin, which was like four shops away.
By the time I got back to the front of H&M where 'Aamir was standing, he showed me his phone and said, "You have six minutes left." He actually freaking started a timer. Son of a barrel!
Made him restart it, and I practically dragged him all around H&M. I kept showing him the clothes which I thought were nice, and kept pointing to pieces on the mannequins which I thought would look good on me hehe. He made his boring remarks ["Yeah that looks good on you." "Yeah that one's cute." "No, that one's so short." "No I don't like you wearing that. So jarang!" "*shakes head with wide eyes*"] before announcing, "One minute left!"
I had a fun time doing that. A retail escapade, though I didn't buy anything.
As usual, I had the hesitation to walk away when we were supposed to part. We also had our no,-you-salam-me argument, me with my "I'm older than you so you salam me", and him with his "I'm the man so you salam me" stand. In the end he took my hand and slammed his knuckles onto my nose, til I could smell the metallic smell of blood. He just laughed, of course, that asshole.

Day 3.
Nope, I was not late! I was on time! ComPro as usual, and I actually think I was being a good student today. You can ask Faiz! I even overheard him saying, "Wah, this one must report to sec 5 class chat ah. Say, E'indah is changing!"
Class was quick today. Bought my lecture notes for DAELN, finally, before heading off to Bishan. Met with 'Aamir like an hour later and we had a quick lunch before he headed off to do his Friday prayers. I sat at the bus interchange waiting, while watching Pokemon X gameplays from Dookieshed hehehehehe.
He sent me to Paya Lebar before heading off to Tanah Merah. Quickly did my EG1 assignment, this piece of worksheet that I don't even remember having received. And then....... I slept.
I'm glad I managed to remember bits from Chapter 1. Honestly, while I was doing my work, I had this voice in my head all along, telling me how to do it. Teaching me the methods, and asking me questions that I should ask myself in order to solve the problem. I really heard his voice, and when I made a mistake, it was also his voice that told me where I went wrong. He's also in my EG1 class right now. I hope he'll do his best.
Well, yeah. The school week is over. I'm honestly looking forward to studying, though I still hate the existence [or my lack of] social life. *shrugs*
And you know what I just realised? Whenever 'Aamir is on the phone with me, he'll end the call with "Bye, love you." But he usually ends the "bye" really slowly, dragging out the 'e' part, and it would sound like "Bye-ai". It makes his sentence sound like "Bye, I love you." I don't know about you but it means a lot.
