School Starts = End Of Holiday....

Finally, the long and what seems to be a long holiday has come to an end. The first day of school and it was like a few years back when i got into NTU. The beginning of the week began with the hardest subject this sem which was the lecture on seurities and deravatives. People in the lectures looks different... must be that some year 2 students have chosen this subject as a PE. Thats pretty cool as i could get to see more girls since i was like kinda sianz with the batch i was stuck with ... lol!!

Queued up for the F.I.R. concert which was to be held tomorrow at 7pm at Nanyang Auditorium. Being a Kiasu Singaporean, i went straight to take a look at the queues before deciding whether to queue or not. In the end i realised that i was not the first few and there were like 30+ people sitting on the floor even though i went there straight after my lecture at 1030. This also means that i couldnt get the free poster that was given out only to the first 20 people in the queues. Joe and I joined the crowd and sat down quietly behind people who are more kiasu then us. Then, the ugly side of Singaporeans started to come into the picture. Jumping Queues. There were just acting that it was so right to joined their friends who were in front even though their friends did not book the place for them. What seems like a straight and orderly crowd suddenly seems to expand sideway and growing messy. From behind 30 people we found ourselves behind a crowd of 50+ people as we waited for the committees to start distributing the tickets.

Luckily they started to collect the matriculation card which effectively cut out any cutting of queues. But what i didnt expected is that they started to call their friends and rushed down to give their cards to the committees.  In the end people were giving cards to the committee and claiming that they were with the people in front of the queues. Before i could digest the ugly picture, a foreign student which i identified from his accent asked me what the time was. And to my horror, he suddenly sat down next to me and even asked me to look asfter his things as he go to find out more about the concert. After that he came back and sat beside me as though he was in the queues long time ago.

I wanted to ask him where he was from and wante to tell him " hey friend look here, please show some respect to your country by queueing up at the back and not follow the singaporeans here who have already showed such bad examples on the very first day of school. In the end i told him nothing. Finally, it was time to distribute the tickets. Joe told the foreigner that he had to give the tickets to the committee way beforehand and he  gave us half a understood half blur look as he walked away. Freaking foreign students...

Got my F.I.R. tickets!!! Now just have to wait for my brother to come back to hand over his view cam to me... hahaha
