rey's ramblings

Had a really short day at school today, only 2 hours of tutorials!

Because after that, our bfi tutorial was for fieldwork so christian, victoria, susi, william,

khadijah and i left for tampines to do some fieldwork on the citibank office. although

we could have actually gone to the nearer branch at raffles place but nevermind..

quickly rushed off to somerset after that for the library's annual titles selection at hmv

orchard which i was chosen for. spent about 2 hours combing through all 3 floors with a

dozen others looking for dvds and music cds that as stated by the librarian "we" would

watch. i took the opportunity to seize concert dvds and tv series that our already expansive

library collection, which trust me is already like quite big, doesn't have. and the feeling of

going into hmv and taking anything you want off the shelf into your basket is like strangely

gratifying. a few customers had priceless expressions when they saw the number of dvds

in my basket, haha!

so 6 seasons of scrubs, 2 seasons of 30 rock, prison break, house and many more later, a

return to the holding room revealed that we probably took everything else our library

doesn't have in music cds and dvds. meaning our library now has everything. and no other

polytechnic or maybe even university probably has such a huge media collection available on rent. haha. with the exception of m18 dvds though, but i probably managed to sneak in

Entourage in the massive pile there too. oh and not forgetting countless indie rock and music

titles amongst the mix. some photos will give you a better idea yeah...

the music/concert dvds i grabbed. can you spot Fall Out Boy and John Mayer?(:

oh and the library needs bob marley too.

my HUMONGOUS pile of dvds (mostly only the tv series still)

oh, some lonely planet and anthony bourdain on the top left ;)

muzik. a lot of it.

anyway, what you're seeing here is only a fraction of the actual finalized pile that we had.

metre-high stacks covering the long table which i wasn't allowed to take photos of cos it's

against hmv rules... anyway we get to reserve whatever we 'tagged' with our post-it's (:

so something to ponder on now.. where on earth does sp's library get all their funding from?

aha.

Back to Reality

Yeah, the title says it all. After a truly enjoyable june holidays spent mostly overseas and
kicking back, it's back to the humdrum of daily life as a student in singapore, getting
inundated with a multitude of tests, assignments and projects. Nevertheless, one must
always look for enjoyment in some aspects of our lives to keep us going, right? and yup
i'm seeking that besides having the basic motivation that this is an important and
unavoidable stage of our lives. haha.

i'd like to thank God for the more than decent scores i got despite having barely a couple of days to start studying for my test week after returning from overseas. in fact, i got A's for my macroeconomic analysis online test, banking and financial institutions essay (84!) and probably electronic commerce management quiz. so i thank God because without Him such good grades would not have been possible on my own strength.

anyway, besides project deadlines scattered over next week: BFI fieldwork report,
CRM/RWPS mega report/survey and MA1 practical project, i'll be having a FA test
tmr as well which i'm currently studying for!

yes acronyms are unavoidable in singapore. haha.

july is a truly busy month indeed cos i'll need to get prepared for a leading climbing
competition closer to the end of this month after the bulk of my schoolwork is over and done
with. plus all those promising summer blockbusters coming out!

i can't wait to share my experience holidaying and climbing in beautiful railay/krabi and will do
so once some spare time frees up and i'm out of these freezing cold labs!

until then, about that test..
