I am so happy and sad at the same time for being officially a second year DAC student. Happy is because I can see my friends again when school reopens but sad because I have to learn new modules and juggle all those stupid projects, exams and assignments at the same time.
Although I did not like my timetable at first glance, I realise that my timetable is quite good after all except the three hour break in monday. This is because I can sleep later and wake up later as compared to last year where I had a alot of 8am lessons. Secondly, I realise that the other classes in the cohort had longer breaks than us which is so sickening and waste of time and effort.
The new lecturers that taught us this year are quite friendly and funny especially the Fundaments of Finance(FF) teacher which uses some Hokkien to teach us which is so weird lol. But his teachings are quite easy to understand and digest.
Other than that, our new PTN(Personal Tutor Network) is our taxation teacher. Find him quite good afterall but I think he will be strict in us and his lessons.
After studying all the modules for this week, I find that the most suckiest module is the Business Law module which is so wordy and the notes are so wordy that it can be written in encycleopedias(is it too exaggerating??). Other than that, the content are so dry that I think I can doze off a any minute during the lectures and tutorials. But I think the most easiest to score is this module because it contains a lot of memorization which requires little research and outside knowledge.
Do no want to elaborate on the other lecturers because if I harp on everyone, this entry is going to be wordy. My last comments as a second year student: Although the lessons are boring and dry, I do not find it as boring with the company of my friends and my class. Haha

Back to school finally
Today went back to Singapore Polytechnic to help out in the Accounts Game for the freshmen in SP. When I reached School of Business, I was shocked to find that it is completely renovated. I wonder what they are going to build for the new year ahead. That really made me puzzled.
By the way, decided to go to the BizIT library to read some newspapers with my father as it is still early. Went up to the classroom and meeting place with Rashyidah. At first we thought we will meet at T2152 for the game but instead, our class was separated into different groups and classrooms for the game. Stationed instead at T2151 for the game. Grouped together with Zhineng, Sutra and Joey. Had to assign duties which is who to become a facilitator and the banker for the game. Decided to choose the role of facilitators as I am afraid of counting the money wrongly. Haha. The game is quite similar to Monopoly but I think it is easier than Monopoly and the rules are quite easy to understand. The rules were to make as many money as possible from selling diapers or renting out shop units by collecting rent.
After talking to the teacher, I finally realised that the teacher is our Taxation lecturer(but dunno whether he also teaches us tutorial lessons). After chatting with him, I find him quite a nice and friendly teacher.
While playing the game with the freshmen, I feel that they are really luck to interact with one another as I think we as freshmen last year never had as much enjoyable time as them because SP really conducted very few activities to interact with one another. And SP really gave a nice T-shirts(nicer that our SP T-shirt last year) and some drinks and snakcs to freshmen such as kit-kat which is so lucky and fortunate.
The highest earner in the game earned a profit of around of 2ok something which is quite lucky and commendable. Haha. After packing all the things, decided to go with zhenyu to fc5 to eat KFC. Fetched along pearlyn for his meeting and sutra to meet his friend. After reaching fc5, I am amazed by the renovations and every table has 4 plugs which is quite enough for a group which saves us the hassle of finding power plugs when doing projects. But the one weakness is that table is too high for me to do projects and eat. After went back home when zhenyu goes to moberly.
My first attempt at being a facilitator: I find it quite a refreshing experience for me as I needed to warm up the atmosphere of the freshmen while playing. But did not managed to do so because I think it is too inconvenient for me. I think I made the wrong decision of being the facil. I should instead opt to become the banker as it is easier and I can do much more things. Hope I will be given a chance to become a banker next year.
