My Weirdly Wired Brain

First things first, hello! I am now officially a freshman at National University of Singapore, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS).
The things is, FASS operates very differently from other faculties because you're already majoring the moment you enter uni in other faculties, but in FASS you only declare your major by the end of your second semester.
Good thing is, you have more time to explore. Bad thing is, you have to plan EVERYTHING from the start. You have no core modules. You have to bid for all 5 modules the first sem. And for people like me- antisocial and didn't join any camps- they only give you 2 days lecture orientation (each subject only has 20mins) which is NOT ENOUGH. I can't base what I want to study for the next 6 months on a twenty minute lecture!

FASS introduced a new scheme called Gradeless First Semester to encourage us freshies to explore as much as we want without the consequences. You can opt 'gradeless' or not for a specific module after you get your results. YAY~
They said they're doing this to promote their 'liberal arts' (which, officially, FASS is not classified under liberal arts education. The only one in Singapore is Yale-NUS).

Also, they don't tell you much about their bidding system in the lectures. I am damn lost and now there is a high chance of me not even having a single modules man.
Research more online and ask your peers!



Okay, next thing. So yesterday I was playing 'Kill Shag Marry', 'Truth or Dare' etc with Ger and we got to the point where she asked me who I thought was the prettiest girl in our cohort (when you play these things you unspokenly do not include the participants... I mean how vain would it be to say yourself HAHA. Kidding.).

I realised that I have officially lost the perception of 'physical beauty'. At this point in my life and psychological condition, all faces look the same to me. Really. I can't really connect an unmoving face and body to words like 'pretty' or 'beautiful' or 'handsome'.
For example, I think that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is really cute because he smiles like a siamese cat or defenseless puppy.

Who knows, maybe I have some missing neurones in my brain or something.
How attractive I think you are 100% depends on how much I like you.
Say most of the people find this popular girl in my secondary school very pretty (including Ger) but I never did. I'm not bitter, really, I just can't wrap my mind around it. Like if I were to analyse her -big eyes, slender body, smooth skin- then yes, I can admit that she is very pretty according to society's standards but I personally don't find her pretty.
You can say that I am just extremely biased (I can't deny hahaha). I find every single one of my friends attractive, really. Some of them have really pretty eyes, or a nice smile, or have charisma.

Because I'm weirdly wired like that.



Also, I am obsessed with the song~ (I am very late haha.)


They are all Running Man members~

Running Man is a korean variety show that is damn funny. The members have great chemistry and interactions and the missions they do are really creative~ Just google "Running Man" and a lot of links to english-subtitled episodes will come up~ Each episode is about 1.5hours so if you have the time and just want  a good laugh then I really recommend watching it. GO! :)
