University is not as hectic as I expected it to be. Sure, there are lots of assignments to do. But I loved the schedule (3 to 4 hours of lecture in the morning) and I simply loved (and sometimes hated) the fact that I've already studied some of the topics in A-levels. On one hand it's like revision; On the other hand it feels like a sheer waste of time. And even though I know how to do the questions already, I'll still get the answers wrong anyway (thanks to my "blurness"). Making mistakes is my forte, wahahaha.... sigh

The lecturer told us that only the friends we make in the university will be our friends for life, but I digress. I actually still have remained close friends with several of my secondary school friends. We went out for a drink (Yam Cha), going to the cinema, or just hanging out. Yeah, I'm glad I have a fair amount of social life, considering that I've always been socially inept especially when I was young.

I remembered walking through a dark alley in my primary school, alone, and realized how lonely I was, and somehow felt that I'm condemned to a life of eternal solitude. That memory was rekindled as I attended my primary school class reunion recently. It was like watching Rugrats: All Grown Up! . Everyone grew so much. Some of the guys had become so damn tall and hunky, making me wonder what have I (and my body) has been doing for the past 7 years. How come I didn't get that freaking huge biceps, or that broad bulgy chest? Oh, I know, I didn't exercise, and almost never play sports (can't play anything that involves a ball). Gah!

Anyway, there is this guy. He sat beside me on the first day at primary school and he's the first person I knew in school. He used to accompany me to the canteen during recess after I passed the exams with flying colours at standard 3. I was an average performer before that, probably because I didn't wear glasses then. I told him that being a loner, I was not used to having someone eating with me. We ate together for a few days, then I don't remember what happened after that. Our relationship strained due to my natural friends-repellent property, i guess.

I saw him at the reunion that day and he looks pretty good (so wanna "eat" him if he's "in my league") .I talked to him but he seemed distant. "Um...Do you actually remember who I am?" I asked. "I don't have a clear memory of you......" he answered, giving a nervous smile. Now I really wanna eat him.

Oh well, back to walking alone on the alley to the university IT lab, doing assignment by myself.

Ooops, this was drafted on Sunday and I only managed to post it today after finishing one of my 3assignments. As you can see I am such a slowwww writer and worse, I can't write long. Writing 3000 words report within a week is bloody hard for me. * cry
