| the most DIFFICULT book i ever find.. 舞狮技艺 |
DAMN! been going library for these few days. The idea of having the 1st week free seem impossible. On the 1st day of school, we already got plenty of work to do. We have 2 subjects this semester which are design studio 3a and research methodology. Here's my timetable.

1-5.30pm Research Methodology
Tuesday

1-5.30pm Design Studio 3a (K.Lee)
Wednesday

1-5.30pm Design Studio 3a (Alex)
Thursday
9-12am Studio
1-5.30pm Design Studio 3a (K.Lee & Suhan)
Friday
9-10.30am Design Thinking
10.30-12.00 Specialise Knowledge
1-5.30pm Studio
Studio is basically a time of our own to do our assignment. The style of learning here is different. We gotta do work in class. That's what the studio time is for. We got our very own table since there are only 16 of us in the class including 3 Malaysian (me, waili & another from New Era College), 2 indonesian, 1 swedish, 1 from China, 1 from Sri Lanka, 1 from Mexico and the other is Singaporean. Alex is a angmo lecturer. We heard that he is a strict lecturer and like Paul Moss (M'sian idol judge), he speaks whatever that comes to his mind. After his lecture on Tuesday, I find it difficult to understand his joke.. He also got the angmo style of praising people before he criticise. K.Lee or Kelly, this lecturer leave a better impression for students. A more fei lecturer. But I quite like the idea that he gave me which will lead to my topic today 'the most DIFFICULT book i ever find.. 舞狮技艺'. Just read on.. Among the 3 of them, Suhan is the "soi"iest lecturer who look down on limkokwing students. She left us with a very bad impression since the orientation. I guess everyone also don't like her. (Shouldnt say I guess, it's a fact!) Our research lecturer, Jacinta, hmm.. still dun really know her except that she is quite long winded.
Ok, back to the topic now. Today is the 2nd time I visit the National Library @ Bugis area. I am doing research on lion dance. It's not that difficult to find information if it's on those history, origin, style of the lion and ceremony. The critical part is what K.Lee asked me to do. I got to do research on the movement, formation and style of lion dancing. Although the idea seems to be quite interesting, but the process of information hunting is torturing. There are none related to that topic at Lasalle library. On net, there is only the name of the style without a clearer picture of what it is like exactly. When I finally found a book name 'The Dance of the Lion' in the database at national library, I went searching for the books and am not able to find it! When i asked the person in charge at the 8th floor (we were at the 8th floor which is a reference area for art n bussiness ), that person told me the book is at the rare book area at 11th floor which is a restricted/protected book and I need to send an email to get the approval to get the book. I decided to email to get the approval at 1st. But luckily, my 6th sense told me that I should go to the 11th floor and ask the person in charge there. And guess what, the person just ask me to fill in a form and write down the name of the book that I want and they will find it for me! Hmm.. excited since I will get to see, not excited since it may not contain the info I am looking at, but still felt lucky as I didnt listen to the 8th floor fellow. Hmm.. My sixth sense is right! It is really not the book i want!! it's a fiction!! really going to faith. Too many obstacle in the way of hunting for those information! Later, I asked the person in charge on the 11th floor regarding the information I need and she is real helpful. She helped me to search for the books regarding lion dance. Together, we search on all the things we can think of. There is some article on Straits Times paper that I could use but not really the thing that I want. We search here and there for quite long, then finally, we found a book in chinese named 舞狮技艺. (search on the database la!) It's on the 9th floor. Ok, here I goes again.. to the 9th floor and hunting for the book. When i finally found the book, I just glance through. Since it's almost 8pm by then. It is a book in traditional chinese wording. Going to loan the book!! Please please please let me to loan it! Not an easy task le.. still gotta translate it.
Wow.. too long winded liao.. Dun hav time to update u guys so often. Can spare some time for this blog now coz 2morrow got no proper class.. what i mean by no proper class is no design or the research class. Will be having ID induction and library research talk 2morrow morning. There will be a workshop induction in the afternoon. okok.. that's all for now.
