Orientation was crap tiring!!

Orientation starts at 8am and ended at 5pm...it is freaking long and pointless`

Seriously, only registration and socialising with new friends, students and potential competitors are worth the trip~

Actually 2mrw is the 2nd day of orientation which I find it totally - Useless.

Tomorrow's programme is:

  1. Rainbow Nation (Talks on racism and the university's wide diversity of different ppl.)
  2. Amazing Race (exactly like the Tv show, wondering like lab rat around the campus)
  3. Stay Alert,Stay Alive (Teaching us to be Street-wise, be careful, watch out)
  4. Lunch (Lunch is 2 hrs long!)
  5. Departmental Activity (well...I heard last year at the department of Mechanical engineering they had beer` too bad I dun drink no more :) )

My student card ( I have to stand in line for 1hr plus just to make this card!! )

Actually~ it really isn't because I dun like to go and have some fun,but simply because it is too tiring to travel...

My return trip ticket to school and back home... -_-

How I go to school is like so...
  • Wake up at 5:30am, brush and eat
  • Leave house at 6:05am, drive to Oosterzee train station
  • Took the train at 6:30am towards Cape Town main station, which I have to stand for around 30mins

*Mery Xmas! (Pure vandal yet I tink it is one of the "look ok" ones, haha)

  • Change trains at Cape Town main station, and head towards Rosebank station

Interior Design X)

  • Get to sit coz lesser ppl travelling that line, for 5 stops, 10mins
  • Upon reaching, walk a 300m distance to take Jamie Shuttle bus
  • Jamie Shuttle bus thus bring me to the upper campus where my department is~ and walk another 200m before reaching the building.
  • The time is around 7:55am

Tell me... can I for once say... "I'm Tired."

1 simple question ppl ask me - Why not just drive to school???
Simple answers:
- Because the expressway is jammed big time from 6 to 8am+++
- Petrol is EX!!!
- No License
- First year student aren't allowed to park inside the campus(have to walk in a distance)
- DRIVING IS TIRING - not fun at all, haha~ esp. you driving your own car and alone.

Therefore, I drive to the station, park my car there and be like everyone else.


Aww...wat a farewell present...even got a price tag! Our price tag somemore!!!

Today, I met 4 new friends, who went to the orientation too~ although funnily, we all did different aspects of engineering. 1 black guy and a white girl doing Chemical(freaking difficult!),the other white foreign guy doing Electrical-Computer,1 coloured guy doing Electro-Mechanical...
Wat makes me want to say this here is that...funnily(x2) ... All of them, their results are better than mine~ That make me worried~because they seems more psyched up and anxious than me!! Goodness...I haven't studied for 3 years.. maybe I really have no much of an idea how difficult life ahead is~
After meeting the black chemical student, I was totally inspired.
He was born in the townships, his father left the family(he haven't seen him b4), his mother is a alchoholic, his grandma took care of him, his younger siblings using her monthly pension funds... shootings, drunks, gangs are over the place he grew up in. Yet so, he doesn't smoke, doesn't drink- just fully focused on his studies. In the end, he did so well, way better than me.(almost as good as Leon)
Now, he is even more focus than ever, the passion is burning strongly. He showed me and reminded me tat...
The time has come, it is time to give you all.
Time to get what you wanted.

Full with a fighting spirit and burning passion~ I am getting excited too...I am suddenly spurred on myself. Especially when I see a strong desire~
(I really thought he might eat the books once we get them....haha~ he want to suceed. So am I.)
Mum bought me a mug as a gift before we left PE, haha~ actually it is one of the shop item~ but I liked it, the word on the mug is "Ren" meaning "Endurance".
Endurance in everything, people, problems, hardships, and myself too.

JUST BRING IT ON!
