Tra-la-la

What did I do this week in college arh?

Monday, nothing interesting happened. Mostly preparing for the next day's Economics common test (common test = test that all Economics students in the SAM programme at Taylor's sits for, and are graded on as part of internal assessment).

Tuesday - Econs test lor. Big stinker. XD Had Winanga-Li meeting after my last class. Yay! Got into Features department (the one I applied for). Have I already blogged about this? Hmm can't remember - but anyway, I'll reblog if I did, ehe! We have 3 girls and 4 boys in Features. Girls = Alison Kong, Wong Kang Yun & me (all of us are from H1! Haha yay)... Guys = mi amor Shern Ren (yay!), Takeshi Watanabe (my new Japanese friend :D), Jason (from L1) and this other guy from L1 (sorry, I don't know your name yet -- but I'll learn it the next time I see you ok! haha).

I don't really know much about the other departments ... every department had separate meetings. But I know that Mei Chieng got into Events (congrats gurl!) and there are 4 of them in that subcommittee altogether -- and all 4 are from P1 (psychology class).

Editor & Sub-Editor will be elected earliest by next week (*fingers crossed*) hahah aaaah!

Wednesday - nothing happened I think. Haha can't remember!

Thursday - CNY Celebrations. Already blogged about this.

Friday - yay the weekend is almost here! Haha nothing really interesting happened.. did a bit more work at the library.... research... my classmates & my mentor (Sean Yee) thinks I'm so "semangat" for ESL... hahaha Sean said that he see me so hardworking until he feels that he needs to be more hardworking also... omg omg hahahahah so funny... dear readers, please take into account that Sean Yee is my class mentor and my Mathematical Studies lecturer... I also chat with him on MSN Messenger ... LOL!! ... we all do.. he joins our H1 chatrooms... XD cool yah!

Only 2 interesting things happened on Friday. Firstly, I went for the A-Levels Student Council Election from 2-4pm. I know, I know, you must be thinking: "What on earth for?? Why you so kepo?" but no la, it's not because I am so busybody... the reason is that I really, really want to learn how to give good speeches -- I find that I can improve in my public-speaking by listening to the best of my peer group -- and where better to learn those things than at student council elections? Hahahaha anyway, it was really worth my time. Carmen, Su Lynn & Wai Yee were there with me, so I wasn't lonely lor (being the only S.A.M. student there haha!). It must sound so weird for me to go for these things ... but I do, that's what I do with my spare time.. I like to learn. Something besides studies la.

Then the 2nd interesting thing.. because the election was only for about 1 hour, me & Carmeny hung out at the library to kill the rest of the time before the 4pm bus came. I lounged around with Lee Ting for a while, then Carmen wanted to introduce me to her 3 classmates (all guys wor, so intimidating right hahaha). And then ... and THEN ... as I was shaking hands with Chan Fei, he asked me "Are you Chinese?" WAH hahaha at first I didn't understand what he was saying, but then it turns out he was saying I didn't look Chinese -- then Carmen was like "She looks Korean right?" then he said "Yeah! Yeah!"

Hahahahaha I don't know why some people say I look like a Korean! I really don't, unfortunately! I look Chinese (not that that is a bad thing, haha!)... Rameera, her mum, her Nigerian friend Chika, Chika's Sri Lanka friend -- all of them think I look Korean also. LOL!

Denise thinks that God got lazy when he was creating me and just chucked all the races together. So apparently that's why I don't look like any one particular race. But if you ask some people, they will say "Sha-Lene? No lah, she looks pure Chinese lah". And then sometimes people I just meet in tuitions will ask me "Hey, are you American?" and Tse Mun will say, "Sha-Lene? American? No lah... maybe Hawaiian". Then last time, when I first entered secondary school, my new friends thought I was Malay! Hahahaha... maybe different people look at things differently lah. But I really thought hard about my bloodline and I seem quite clear-cut pure Chinese. Only 2 neat things I found out:

1) mum's side was nyonya -- but that is not mixed blood, just Chinese embrace Malay culture.
2) mum's side great great grandmother had blue eyes! wowwww northern china wan ... Northern China people look a bit like ang mo lang hahaha... so maybe my blood is little bit mixed with the Persian soldiers or something la. Nice right. Persian. Persian carpets heehornk! haha!

You know, on Friday, got 3 ang mo lang come to college and distribute free samples of BioTherm. What a gimmick hahaha purposely choose handsome guys dressed in white to promote products! Me, Rameera & Sara purposely went down all the way downstairs (to the guardhouse from Lecture Theater 7!) to see the guys -- I mean, get the samples. LOL! Then Rameera started chatting with one of them (he's from London, apparently) and we got lots of free samples. Yay. Free samples from Calvin Klein underwear models!! ;P

You know, Rameera is so much braver than me -- the other day, she spoke to the insatiably HOTTTT ICPU lecturer (blonde guy)... I just stood there, pressed my back against the wall and stared at him ... so useless right hahaha.... but when he walked past me, I could LITERALLY feel heat radiating from him! Wow! That is one seriously HOT dude! But I didn't talk to him la, haha, that's the sort of thing Rameera does -- not cowardly goofball moi. See, look at what Taylor's College has got... LOL ... *ROTFL* Calvin Klein underwear models & heat-giving Canadian lecturers..
