It's been a long yet satisfying weekend. Went to IMH on Sat morning for some volunteer talk... Most prob gonna join a group there. Take it as a chance to clear CIP, as well as to see if this is suitable for me. :)

After than, went back to SN! I so miss the school! And I realised we did a lot of walking when we were there. The school just seems so big! From the Street 13 entrance to Sunken forum. :)
The fair was ok. We walked around, but there wasn't much to like entice us. Games do not really attract us... and food was like... normal? Usual funfair stuff? hahaha... We had like $30 bucks worth of coupons left after walking one round. But they sure brought in a lot of stuff. Amusement rides, EZone gaming machines... Oh ya... It was so freaking hot!

So later, we went to Soyabean to chill. Hahaha... one of our hang-outs then? and it was pouring! on the spur of the moment... we went yodelling!!! Wah! It was a good stress-reliever! So much for having impromptu friends.

Can't help but notice how things have changed. But memories are always there. I go back to SN not really to see the teachers (cause they can't really remember me. Stood in front of TSW for some time, but she showed no hint of recognition! hahaha...), not really to see the school (cause it's painted in quite a disgusting colours now) but more of to relive memories.

Today was SMU open house.
Question no. 1: What are the job prospects of a Social Science Student.
Question no. 2: Can you tell me more about your degree programme?

Ok.. so... what do you want to hear? Bah! I felt like I was on repeat mode after a while lor. You can do what you want.. social science disciplines provdie you with certain skill sets that you can use in most jobs... It depends on your interest. LIke... what do you want me to say? you can be a prof, a psychologist? a hypnotist?

I think some people do have some misconception of a psychologist. Maybe not 'enlightened individuals' as Siyi puts it.

Oh... Question of the day: I am interested in Sociology. What does a sociologist do? like....

A whole myriad of other questions that I spent 4 hours answering. It was rather excrutiating, yet I dunno if I was like that the last time. Oh.. and the banging of drums came at the most inappropriate time. There was this performance by a drumming ensemble in the school and the freaking place was enclosed lar. How smart can people get? There was no way people could ask/answer questions! I had to raise my voice a few decibels and felt I was shouting.

A lot of money spent on the 'wow' factor. And seriously, I think the admin building is a big waste of money. The offices are located from Level 7 onwards. And there is virtually nothing much from the 1st to 6th storey. What a waste of prime office space! Just a sports hall, a conferent hall and load of space! we are not having some art exhibition lor...
