Episode: feeling down when you are too
Thursday, May 8, 2008

Class suppose to start at 9. I woke up at 8.30. I did rushed a bit, but I did not skip breakfast today. Yes, I learned my lesson that Tuesday. I got to my studio at 9.30, but my class was not there. They were at Mechanical Manufacturing building, learning about 3D processes with big machines. After putting my bag at the studio, I made my way there. Slightly before 10, I walked through the door of the class. This was what we did using a software called Mastercam.


The class was alright. The lecturer was kind of rushing at the end, as we took quite a long time to key in all the information for the programme to read. I kept on mocking the lecturer to myself about his accent. I think he is a China national, that explains his strong slang..hehe. During class, when he was walking around to help my classmates with their programming, I crept to his desk and looked for the attendance list. My attendance wasn't mark, so I took a pen from his pencil box and used it to mark my attendance..hehe. At the end of the lesson when he mark attendance again for those who came late, I was not one of them..haha, I am so evil. Even took a picture of it..haha.

We got an hour's break before our next class, so we gathered in Mechanical Manufacturing building, so as we could go have lunch together.

I had my favorite Siu Mai and Lo Mai Kai. I only ate lightly, as the next class was 30 minutes away. Back in our studio, where the next class was held, we had a presentation by my classmates about food memories and Synaesthesia. It was alright. I wished I had that topic to present, as I knew quite a few a bout Synaethesia and the people who have these. I am sure, I have it. Synaethesia is like a gift rather than a disease or curse to me. People who have this have mixed senses. For example, one could see colors when hear music, or taste a scent. I believe I can taste a scent. By smelling on food, I would know how spicy it is. Sometimes, when sat beside a smoker after a few hours after finishing their last cigarette, I can know that they had smoked previously. I form phlegm in my throat if I am near them, and it feels like I am the one smoking. It seems weird, but it is all true.

I was writing notes, when the lecturer showed us a movie title Eat, drink, man, woman. My notes were three A6 sized pages long. It was interesting. At the end of the movie, we were given a task to do, and that is to write a 500 word long journal about what we observed in the movie.

Class ended at around three. I messaged my gal to message me when she finished her class, so that we could go home together. At around 4 she replied, and she said she want to go for this CCA thing as they had a meeting. We went straight to the venue and reached there at 4.30. We were an hour early. So, we sat there, chat and listen to music. By the time it was around 5, a board that was not facing us was held up there. We ignored it and by 5.30, we took a look at the board. That board was for the CCA meeting that my gal wanted to go. It directed those who are interested to another location. When we went to the location, the meeting started. My gal was upset and went home with me. I asked her to go in, but she did not want to.

All the way home, she kept quiet. There was this one time, when I said she should grab a chance to get CCA. She somehow raised her voice at me for a while. All the way home, I tried to cool her down gave her some hope that her CCA hunting in not over. I even asked a few questions to get her talking, but most of the time, she just gave me a nod, or a one word answer with frowns.

I am not good at this. That is why, I never want to make her, or get her in this state. I really feel like going to that CCA that my gal wanted badly, and make negotiations so that she can get into it. At least she does not have to worry about not getting CCA points.

Sometimes, I feel that it was my fault leaving bowling for takraw to selfishly get CCA points for myself. Our CCA was previously bowling, but since it was eating my money and did not come up with any CCA points, I left. She quit bowling with me, for the same reasons. Now, still searching for that CCA, and when she is interested in one, that CCA put her on reserve list. Now, she kept saying and comparing her CCA points with mine. I know I have more, but she could have them too, and I would help her get it.
