W24C

School has been over and it's getting damn boring though it has been only a week. Mum is out of town and it's even more boring without her because if she happens to be around, at least there will be something to talk and crap about. I am actually looking for a job. I didn't quit my bar job but I need another job to get a better pay for two months before the school re-opens. Frankly, looking for a job ain't easy. I remembered, I only got my bar job after 20 failed applications from different areas. Can you imagine that? And it's only a part-time job. I see what I can do for a new job and if I fail to find any by this week, I'll probably work in the bar, basically every single day if possible.

Anyway, I am blogging today about my ex class W24C in semester two. Blogging about every single soul. I do miss them but the feeling is not like the way I missed my W25C class in semester 1. I feel more at home in W25C. In this class, people will be speaking more in mandarin and sometimes I feel alienated and my mind will go, "What the hell?!" I've did my best to bring the class together but some people just won't wanna get adapted to the new environment and new friends. Some people will go, "This class cannot make it" when they themselves are not doing a single shit in helping the class to make it. To tell you the truth, there was politics in this class. Some people don't like someone but they'll go all nice when they talk to you but bitch at the back. To be fair, I feel the guys in this class are cool. I ain't being prejudice to the ladies but even 2 close lady friends were telling me they prefer the guys in the class to the girls. One even said, "You guys joke and are direct but the girls be nice to you now but behind you they say bad things." The ironic part about this class is, people even back-stab about another person to the faci. Awesome eh? Wow, I didn't know classmates did that to one another. I didn't really 'feel' this class from the start. In fact I nearly gave up before the first vacations when a great friend from the class reprimanded me claiming I shouldn't judge the class so fast. There I laid in bed thinking, "Maybe I shouldn't have judge the class fast and give them time. They are new anyway." But then I realized I've cheated my own intuition. It's only towards the end, where I got close with some people.

I am really gonna be honest and frank about every single soul in this class because I ain't the type who likes to 'bootlick' or 'kiss-ass' and I ain't the type who is bias to anyone. Not my style. I was asking a friend should I be frank about this blog and he was like, "Dude, maybe some people needs to realize the truth. The thing is, the truth hurts but there's no point beating around the bush." I maybe quiet sometimes but that doesn't mean I ain't scrutinizing people's attitude. It's been a habit for me since when I was young. I read people when I am noisy or when I am quiet but I don't judge someone fast. I don't come down to a conclusion that easy. Maybe people will go, "Who the hell are you to read and judge people when you have shit at your own back as well?" Well, I ain't saying I am perfect. In fact, no human is perfect but I am willing to change my cons. So here is my post about my classmates. People who wanna take it optimistically will sit down and dissect and probably change for the better and people who wanna take it pessimistically, I've gotta nothing more to say and IDGARA.

The Guys

Albin

The most direct guy I ever knew in this class. If he feels like he has something to say, he just shoots. He don't give second thoughts about it. Most of the time it's all crap and he basically don't mean what he says. In away being direct is good but definitely not all the time. Sometimes when he says somethings without realizing the consequences, the outcome from opposite party may not be so appeasing. For example, when he called the science faci a 'Bangla' right to her face, I can see she wasn't pleased but then she realized Albin was just crapping. At first glance, I thought he was an uncouth gangster but he's actually a nice guy in personality. He's also freaking smart in Science but he is lazy. I gotta say he helped me a heap in Science mostly and for some reason when I group with him, he will definitely help out.

Jeksen

My Indonesian friend is very smart. Way too smart for his knowing. He had a GPA of 3.9 in first semester, so you know what kind of person you are dealing with. His forte is, he catches things very fast and he's more effective in Science and Math. I realize that in the later part where the class knew each other 'better', he actually craps much as well. I personally feel he doesn't have a social life. I can understand the fact he is in another country and it ain't easy for him but he prefers to keep to himself in the school's hostel. Jeksen is a nice dude but he's selfish. He don't really share his findings or thoughts to anyone in class even when someone ask him, he says it briefly to them and that is one of the reasons I don't really like asking his help in modules if I have any qualms. It's like he prefers personal glory to himself. In finding success oneself is sweet but sharing your findings with fellow friends is sweeter.

Nigilan

He went through shit in life. Seriously, living in war bound country and coming to Singapore to study and escape from war and worrying about your family back home ain't easy. Sometimes I see him reading all the Sri Lanka websites and he'll tell me there's war again and when I see his face with misery, I feel bad for the dude. He's a smart dude and like Jeksen, he's more effective in Math and Science and I can safely say he is better than Jeksen in Visual Basics. He helped me much in both Math and Science and he would come up personally to my area and teach me Visual Basics but he's lazy as well. Mostly in language modules. Sometimes when I ask him to say a certain slide he declines it because he is afraid to explain from the slide thinking whatever he says will be wrong. I told him not to worry but he prefers to refrain from it.

Herman

I can say this dude is smart but he's more hardworking. He is the type of personality who never gives up in something until he really understands it and he's very helpful person. If you ask him something you don't understand, he will never say no. The thing about him is, he tends to over analyze something at times. So much so he tends to confuse himself and people around him and sometimes I find it so funny. Nevertheless, I will never complain working with him because he tries so much in presentation and help out a lot. It'll always be a pleasure teaming up with him and knowing him as a person.

Samuel

The tallest dude I ever knew besides my cousin. I didn't know much about him until I read his blog about his 'dark' side. It was really direct and he actually didn't hide that he was that kind of person before. It's good to write about his cons but I feel he shouldn't have be over descriptive in certain things because it can creep someone out especially some girls in my class who acted all creep out until it disgust me and that undermines his personality from the start for a while. I wasn't creep out because he was that before and what makes you think he'll be in future? Give that dude a break. He's trying to change and instead of helping him, you refrain from him? Wow, some deal eh? He work up from ITE and in away it makes me wonder why he was even there because I'll say it again. He's Smart. He's hardworking. Maybe he was like me, where he screwed up before and wanna make it right now. You can see the way he does his power point slides and research that he makes an effort and he also helps friends much. His con is he tends to beat around the bush when he is trying to comprehend something and not go directly to the point. Overall, he's a good friend and I never had a problem teaming up with him because he's a good team mate.

Yong shun

He's very good in his UTs and he's actually smart. He's like a submarine, silent but deadly. The silent killer. He does his killer punch in his UTs but it keeps me wondering why he presents in an odd way during presentation when he actually knows his stuff. He helps out but sometimes he gets lazy. A very cheeky fellow and he's known to be a looker among some girls in class. He doesn't really say much about his feelings and keeps it to himself. I only got to know some things about him when I happen to walk to the interchange with him. An avid pool player.

Yuhan

A great and true friend. He may seem like a crude guy who shouts a freaking much of vulgarities in class but he actually soft at heart. He cares for people he knows. Can be seen from the way he treats his gf when she was in the hospital and from the way he misses friends once the school closes. It's funny he only got close to some people towards the end. I reckon he needed time to heat up. I always tell him not to give a rat's ass what people claim about him when he gets A for a lesson because these people feel he is a slacker and he doesn't deserve it. Some people will go, "Even Yuhan gets A" and so? Why? Can't he deserve an A? To tell you the truth, when he works in my team, he will help out. He does researches as well and yes, he can get lazy but he is the type who will work for you if you say it nicely or motivate him. Most of the time, friends don't care about him because they feel he plays games and doesn't care during group discussions. He has to work on his presentation skills and I can see he feels he can't explain to the class when he actually can. Have faith in yourself bro. Dude, year 2 is pp. Work on it.

Zhen Jie

A happy go lucky dude. He has this red streaks of hair with him and when I first saw him, I had the impression this guy was into Jap stuff and yes, I was right. He's also into RnB and Hip Hop music and he shares some of his songs with me. He is actually a very helpful team mate. In fact he works hard and help out with most of the topics for each module. He is handy with computer stuff as he had studied the course in ITE Simei. The thing about this dude is, his laughter always makes people crack up as well. There's something about his laughter. I don't know why but it's just plain funny and frankly I only started talking more to him because he watches BPL and he was an Arsenal fan so there was something similar where we can talk about. Most of the time when the lesson finishes, he is the first one to leave the class and I found that odd because why would someone leave so early? I realize later that he had to go visit his gf who happens to finish classes faster most of the time than him. There was once he was saying to me, "Aiyah, better go early if not later small thing, she makes into a big thing, then quarrel and I don't like quarrelling. You know how girls are." Haha.

Shamsul

He is the smallest dude in class but he is rather cheeky with his words. He is good in Visual Basics and his ability to think differently is a real asset. Like for example I didn't know the gender and sex is actually a different thing until he blurt it out to the faci. He is actually a smart dude. It can been seen when he ask sophisticated questions. He helps out in team work but he can be lazy. I don't really know much about him. The only thing I know is the class always tease him with this girl who wears a Toodong and I can sometimes see he gets annoyed from his facial expression.

Taufiq

My brother Taufiq here is a big and cheeky dude. For some reason he likes to tease Jasmin alot(who doesn't?) and claim he likes flirting with Jasmin. Haha. He has this odd laughter in him where it sounds Scooby Doo laughing. He is a good team mate because he really help. The only thing about him I notice is his nerves. He is loud when presenting but kind of loose confidence in himself when the faci or some of the classmates pop out a question. Then he'll kind of get nervous. Dude, don't give a damn. I mean we are all to learn man. If you can answer do it, if you can't, smile it off. I gotta say Taufiq is a big romantic. When I read his blog sometimes it is too romantic that it makes me wanna puke. Haha! I guess that's how couples behave when they are in love. He's all about tease and when I tease him or crack a joke, he accepts it well, especially the 'gay' thing we do together. I told his gf not to be selfish and share him. Haha. Both he and his gf make a great couple. I mean they complement each other rather well and so far, they are the best couple I've seen in RP. Rock on brother and work hard for your year two. Nigga G dude.
