Mental BlockFor these past few days have been trying to blog. Come to blogger page, reach the compose page, and then stare at the black screen for 5 mins, thinking what's interesting to blog about... then closed the window. How pathetic, my life is coming to a boring routine whereby I have absolutely nothing nice to blog abt. And since my life revolves arnd sch now... let me talk about my lecturers...
So far, I like all my Elang lecturers. My Psycholinguistics lecturer is this pretty lady who is of dunno what race(altho I suspect she may be Filipino, cos she really looks lyk my last Filipino maid. And no, that's not an insult cos my ex-maid was working as a beauty counter salesgirl back at her hometown before she came to work as domestic help cos needed the money). But she's very nice, and I'm kinda ashamed to admit that I was always dozing off in her class cos I had 4 hrs lesson before her lect, and also her lect time is the lunch time period, frm 12-2. So for last wk and this, I was surviving on mentos throughout the lesson la. Mentos to keep me awake and also to get the digestive juices working abit so that my stomach wun create any embarassing noises halfway thro the lecture. Anw, the psycho lects are turing mi into one soon.
Social Variation lecturer, jolly old ang-mo man with a big potbelly. I'm always very amused when he reads out parts of interviews done on native S'porean speakers, with all the "lah" and "lor". Not a big deal, but it really sounds funny when and ang-mo says them. But his voice a little bit monotonous though... but still, I always like those jolly old men with potbellies... like my father! Hahaha...
My Sentence Structure lecturer is also one of my favourites... I SO regret taking Sounds last sem and got that Mohanan woman for my lecturer instead. Dr Ho is so funny, and he always tries to tell us some interesting thing that happened to him recently (which never fails to drag mi back frm "dreamland" to "lecture time" everytime). Today during the break, he said we can go out if we want, but for those who wants to just stay in the LT and relax, he's going to show us his "babies". (Apparently before that he was using the theory of "Only woman can have babies", so if one day he can have a baby, then it will be a counter-example to the theory, and it will then have to be revised. But if one woman cant have a baby, it's no big deal cos the theory says only women can have babies, and not ALL women can have babies). Ok ya, anw, he was just using that baby example to explain to us some rule thing in sentences. Anw, the "babies" he showed us are his oil paintings he did himself... mostly architecture arnd S'pore, old coffee houses, kampong villages etc. Really nice... and he was saying how we're forced by society to do what we do not like to, but we must always reserve this small part of being "yourself", and do what you really want to do. And for him, it will be to have "babies". Can really see the difference in enthusiasm when he was showing us his paintings and when he started lecturing English again. But anw, was just talking to this yr 3 grp mate frm Social Variation on msn, he was telling mi as an Elang major, he recommends that I take every module under Dr Ho, he said Dr Ho is super nice. I think I really will!
I dun really want to talk about my Bahas tutors, cos I got this damn fast-paced ibu that speaks Bahasa Indo for lyk 85% of the time in class. Damn sad when I saw her walk into my TB class today, was so hoping I wun get her again since I alr got her for TA. I'm starting to dislike Bahasa now... dun tink I'd even want to further till level 3000. And as for S'pore Society, I really got nothing much to comment la, I skipped first lect, went halfway for 2nd lect (slping half of the time), and skipped 3rd lect. Damn the lazy bug striking again...
Think maybe Elang lecturers are genrally nice, (Expect Mohanan again...) since I also loved my level 1000 lecturer, Magdeline Cruz or stg liddat. Maybe ELang is really quite a nice subj to major in... haha...
