It was the first round of the new student tournament for guys' volleyball today, and I was asked by some friends to bring my DSLR to take some pictures. Now I've got this nickname "paparazzi" because of my professional looking camera lol. Anyways, our opponent was the team from the department of business administration, and they seemed okay at first when they were warming up. They didn't seem to show any obvious weakness? Or at least for a person who doesn't play volleyball like me, I couldn't really tell..
However, when the game started, it was a shock to all of us who went to cheer for our team (life science department). We were owning them so badly it wasn't even funny.. I think they only scored like at most 5 points (?) in both halves.. Pretty sad if you ask me.. But oh well~ It's just a game~ And besides, it's probably because they didn't have enough people signing up to play so they had to grab anyone who had the slightest will to sign up :P Either that, or our team is just super good. But that's being a little too cocky so I won't say that.. lol.
The weather was super sunny and hot during the game.. It was a pain to both the players and all of us who went to cheer.. Good thing we won, so the heat was worth it? Maybe.. :P Hope we continue to advance in the rounds to come~
I WANT TO PLAY THE NEW STUDENT TOURNAMENT FOR TENNIS! But that's in November so there is still a long way to go~ :P
So it's been a while since the last update... yes I know I've been a bad blogger for being lazy... Anyways, now that college has started for two weeks now, I'm slowly adjusting to life in a school environment again. I'm glad that I went to the orientation camp before school started. Because of that I got to know a lot of people whom I wouldn't get to befriend with otherwise due to my slightly introvert personality. So far, the stress of school hasn't hit me as hard as I thought it would, but maybe it's just because there are no tests yet. I think I really need to start studying more though, otherwise I will be super stressed when tests actually come... But at the same time, I want to do so many other activities like sports and clubs... Tough choice... I guess that's the downside of having such a free learning environment in college... You have to decide everything for yourself, which is both good and bad in some way.
To sum up what I have learned so far in college...
1. At NTU, if you ride a bike, chances are that you crash into other people; if you don't ride a bike, chances are that someone else crashes into you.
2. Get to know the upperclassmen well, they can help you with a lot of school stuff.
3. The best way to quickly make friends is to get involved in social activities.
4. Don't believe the seemingly welcoming introduction of selective music groups (such as saying oh you don't have to be super good to get in) because they are SELECTIVE for a reason... They are trying to SOUND welcoming just so you might have some interest, and then once you try out you realize oh crap this is insane.
5. Patrols at the riverside park can be nice and ignore the fact that you are having a BBQ party in a restricted area so long as you clean up after yourselves.
6. Dance choreography is among some of the hardest things to memorize, maybe even more difficult than memorizing the textbook?!!
Okay, that's it for now. Hopefully I'll blog more regularly in the future. =)
Maybe I acted like it was okay
Maybe I acted like I didn't mind
But it was like a needle popping my bubble
Maybe I just can't act selfish
Maybe I just have to give in
But how I wish I could be the one in control sometimes
Maybe it is time to let go
Maybe it is time to move on
But how I wish I could hold on to it a little longer
Maybe there is still hope
Maybe there is still a chance
But this thing called distance has to stop it all
Maybe it was never real
Maybe it was all just a dream
But how I wish those dreams would someday come true
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
But all these things are just regrets and empty wishes
