Bidding begins

I have been sitting in front of my laptop since 8am today because today marks my first ever bidding in NUS. I am so nervous and need to keep monitoring my bidding. I am so worried that I won't get the modules that I bid for. 2 of the 5 modules (1 is still on advance bidding) already experienced number of bidders more than the vacancy available.

Bidding is almost like stock exchange except that your blood pressure goes up and will not go down until the end of the bidding. Yes, I can monitor and read timely updates but from 1pm tomorrow onwards till 5pm, it will be close bidding meaning I won't be able to see most of the crucial bidding information. Leanne told me to anyhow throw my points but I really have no idea if I can out-bid the others. I only have 600 points to bid for the modules and there are people throwing 300 points for just 1 module. Sob.

I already spent 3 days in NUS and now 2 full days in front of my laptop monitoring the bidding. This is just so tough. Sigh.

I also realised NUS or maybe specifically FASS is very bias towards the JC graduates. (-.-') I don't like this feeling. No idea why they don't wish to acknowledge the fact that there are also a handful of poly graduates among the freshmen.

For the 3 days, I tried 2 different routes to NUS and timed the time taken. Both will take approximately 2 hours. (T.T) This will be the first time in my entire life that I need that long to get to school. I am definitely not going to get used to it in e short run ad maybe even in the long run. ARGH!!! Why can't there be a shorter route to NUS?

Boring

Orientation talk is boring but essential. I have been seating in the same LT for 2 days already. By the way, I am still struck in it right now. I brought my laptop, that's why. (=p)

Been chatting with Leanne and Wan Xin since these morning and now they are gone. Have totally no idea where they went to. COME BACK!!

I watched The Dark Knight with a primary school friend last night. It was great. I want to watch it again. Christian Bale is really good looking and I have no idea why did they choose Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes. She looks old and doesn't match the superhero. The acting of Heath Ledger is great. He really gives me the creeps and when I thought he was finally caught, he came back again. I love the twist in the show. Really great. Highly recommended. (=D)

ARGH!!! I want to go home now!

My NECK

I can't turn my neck normally. I got a stiff neck now. (T_T) In the mid of tuition on Thursday, I realised my neck was very stiff and there was swelling on each side of my shoulder. Asked my mum to help me to massage a little when I reached home and the next day. Didn't get better and I had a very bad headache because of it so I headed to the Chinese physician for a session.

The physician told me it was due to sitting in front of the computer for too long and the swell was very bad because the stress on my shoulder was not from just a few days or weeks but months or perhaps the whole year. Well, I am quite oblivious when it comes to pain. (=P)

So it is to say that I actually experienced pain since weeks or months ago and I only realised it on Thursday. (-.-')

So she did the 'ba guan' [sorry, I don't know what is it known as in English and how to write in Chinese] and I was so shocked to see that one of the spot turned blue black with dark blood clot all over today. It is painful. Sob. Hopefully it will be better soon. *Pray*

Traumatised

Oh sh*t! I am so badly traumatised by this manga titled - Billion Girl. I am having a bad headache because I really cannot stand how the story goes. Firstly, the storyline is great. I love the tension that the author managed to build for every character but I cannot stand what the aunt did to the nephew. OMG. I am too serious when I watch dramas and read mangas.

But still I love the storyline. I just hope I won't get any nightmare cos of this. Argh!

To you know who you are

She will always be part of you and your family's lives. No matter where she is, she is alive in you. It is alright to feel sad and lost but remember she will hope for the best in all of you so live life to the fullest. You always have your family and us. (=])

Leanne's 21st celebration

First and foremost, the birthday girl - LEANNE!!! If I am not wrong, she was holding on to 50 helium balloons at that point of time when the photo was taken. She flew! LOL.

I was there at about 5pm to see if there was anything I could help and also to meet OUR students. (=D) The photo below was taken with our students by Leanne's brother cause Zhiyi was busying decorating. Hehe.


I decided not to upload too many photos. LOL. Will leave it for the birthday girl to update on her birthday but I really love her cake so, a photo of her cake. (=P)


And not forgetting a picture of the birthday girl with her cake and balloons. (=D)

The presents!!!

NUS bidding

I spent the last hour trying to plan my timetable for my first semester in NUS. I realised it is so hard to try to fit tutorials and lectures together without overlapping. Plus, tutorials are for balloting so it is either you get it or you don't. Modules have to bid so I also have no idea if I will get what I want. Hopefully yes and the QET (Qualifying English Test) is on this Friday.

I suddenly realised I am so unprepared for everything and I only know one person from FASS this year. Trying to be optimistic. ARGH!!!
