And when I can't feel with my sun hands

James Hill!

So on Tuesday I volunteered with the Ukulele Movement to usher for the James Hill concert. It was pretty worth it because we got a free badge! and dinner! and watch the entire concert for freeeeeeee! Anyway I'll skip the boring parts and go straight to the concert. IT WAS AWESOME. James Hill is so skilled at his art! His fingers are so graceful and the notes/sounds coming from the little Ukulele are MINDBLOWING. I loved his rendition of Billie Jean(watch online HERE), 'Song for Cherry'(his own composition) and he played TECHNO on the Ukulele. I know it sounds pretty impossible but he did it(without any pedal or whatever, just a pair of chopsticks and some hockey tape). We also had audience participation(always gets my vote)!! And he signed my badge hehehehe :>

Today he had a workshop! I learnt quite a bit and am very motivated to practice and improve on my Ukulele skills now! PLUS, I GOT HIM TO SIGN MY UKULELE hehe (above)(Yes, my ukulele is screen-printed to look like a watermelon)(I think I look v cool and ~mysterious~ in the picture hahahaha)

Okay that's all.

School has officially started! And I've finally settled all my modules. (I had to reshuffle a little because of the TS module which I can't take because I actually didn't fulfill its prerequisite) So now I'm taking exp modules for sociology, history and european studies, along with a philosophy GEM module and a level 2 Japanse studies module(Why? I don't know). So far we've only had lectures and they were... okay. EU seems interesting but the lectures for SC and HY were really boring. But I guess that's what awaits me for the rest of my 3/4 years in NUS - Many, many hours of boredom.

I also realised I've recently developed a really short attention span. And I tend to zone out once in a while. During SC lecture just now I zoned out for a few moments when the lecturer said something funny(i think) and when he referred to that a while later, I WAS VERY CONFUSED. And I cannot read my readings properly at all. The past 8 months have rotted my brain. D:

(Marie Antoinette picture above is there because... it was on the first slide for the EU lecture and I was really mesmerized by how pretty it was.) (Anyway do listen to Nick Chim's songs in the previous entry because I think they're all very beautiful!!!) (Like Hollywood's Marie Antoinette!)

So my USS photos didn't turn out. Most likely due to some sticky shutter/battery problem.

Oh and I have my 5 modules for this semesters all set. Initially, I intended to take the exposure modules for sociology, history and japanese studies. But I ended up not getting the japanese studies module, and last night I found out that the eu1101e isn't exactly a history module. So I am taking 2 exposure modules, one in sociology and another in european studies/history(still not sure about what it is). Other than that I am taking heavenly mathematics(I am very excited about this) and reason&persuasion(quite nervous) for my general education modules + singapore film for my SS module.

Yay I am a freshman.
