Was to NUS this afternoon. Had lunch with gohie and passed the nie notes to jiale. Gohie looked astonished when he saw the bag of notes. Lol, and he flashed me the disapproval look for stressing his student. I'm absolutely delighted to get rid of the notes, as for jiale, I think my notes will save him hours of photocopying stuff at the library. :) I had problem lugging the notes and the bag of dumplings onto the bus. Well well, I managed anyway. See, I may be stronger than what you think.
Had coffee with my idol after that. He never failed to spring some shocking news. This time round, he bought a new condominium. Despite earning lots, he led a thrifty lifestyle. Imagine a full professor walking to school everyday, goes to restaurants once a month only and never thought of getting a car. His hobby is research and up till this day, he is still happy and excited about his job. Haha. I think this is so wonderful, to be able to earn a living by doing what one loves. I bet he hasn't thought of retiring. See, my idol is so impressive. I need to educate my students to idolize such outstanding man.
I was so excited when he said he thinks I'm good and admits that he likes me as a student. Oh man, I was trying so hard to hide my excitement and smile at the same time. :D And before he left, he said "we must keep in touch". Arr.. I'm melting.
Wanted to visit some other lecturers, but they weren't around. What a pity.
Stayed till 6 plus. Oh man, I really miss my days as a student in NUS.
Few days ago, some fellow from ntu called regarding the thanksgiving. I bluntly told him I've no sense of belonging to the school! He tried to persuade. But you see, if I'm not interested in digging out money from my wallet, it is almost impossible to convince me otherwise. Anyway, I quickly thanked him for calling, and hanged up the phone. I think he must be quite stunned. Well, I'll use this technique to handle salesmen next time. :)
