I thought it was very funny. Anna is the student co-ordinator for my batch and I emailed her 2 days ago as I had some questions to ask her about re-moduling my Econs paper. Apparently, she called me twice on the day I sent the email but I missed her call as I was cooking my instant noodle. I didn't return the call because her number was unfamiliar and I thought if it was urgent, she'll call me again.

The next day, Anna called again and I missed her call again. My phone is usually on silent mode, that's why I kept missing her call. Back at home, I received an email from her asking me if my number was still in use as she has been trying very hard to reach me. I replied and then I walked out of my room. 10 minutes later, I returned and realised I missed her call again and when I checked my email, I saw the email asking me to pick up the phone now. It was so funny.

I called her back immediately and she said, "Aiyo! So hard to get you! You got secret admirers constantly calling you is it? That's why you don't want to pick up the phone?" Anna is really funny.

Well, I was told that I'll start my Econs re-module on April 16th (I would have graduated by then), but after speaking to Anna, she allowed me to join the evening classes which starts on 28th February. This means that on some days I'll have lectures from 9am-10pm because the evening lecture is from 7pm-10pm. Gonna be quite tiring but I guess this is the price I have to pay for failing Econs. Hopefully I'll make it this time.
