My frustration during the matriculation fair:
so disorganised,messy.haf to wait bout more den half hour to Q up to go tru' the damned exit.lugging around heavy bags in which my hands end up red after reaching home n still sore.
1st queue -- not interested cca freshies lik me'
2nd queue - got impt. functions e.g archi. and int.design. talk at 4.30 cannot get thru the exit... let them go for goodness sake!!!
3rd queue- those who bother/dun mind the waiting n want to join cca very much.

Cheryl,my senior,said:
even if there were 3 Qs, they would be, 1 - hardcores dun wannbe there freshies, they must get thru wat we prepare, so give them lotsa flyers. 2-those with lame excuse like they have something on later and they have to go, we'll purposely jam up the place and make the queue slow so they can get thru so fast. serve them right to lie! and 3-those super enthu and nice freshies, I know they'll join somehow, so no need to entertain them
see the issue from organiser?
afterall the seniors really did go thru a lot of preparation to get those done.
they juz want to be appreciated
My reply?
oic. n appreciated = freshies frustration ?
they can always tackle those prob.
Cheryl answered:
thats e other side of the coin
the two sides can never see eye to eye. if the school forces it, it juz results in frustration
this is the silly thing about NUS
My suggestionto tackle those probs??
e.g.1) flyers can be given as a package in matriculation pack .
2) Install lie detectors
3) follow ppl who got impt. funct . to see if they r lyin a not
4)create diff places for cca fair .. not juz cramp into one small hall
5) create a survey b4 hand to ind out freshie's interests , tat way , they r not likely to miss out on their desired /potential cca
6) put diff booths in a spacious manner .. dun juz cramp everyting one place
7) if freshies wanna know about cca , they muz be in a calm state of mind ,, so y not create a free locker space for a day to place their heavy belongings?
the idea to not to make ppl kena dragged down by weights of bags and they can hardly carry any more flyers but to create a warm ambience to relax and tok about wat;s so good about tis cca...n tat cca...
Cheryl argued:
1-the indiv faculty FOC comms must be willing to coordinate and put those flyers in and they need those flyers to start a topic with the freshmen. so they dun wann put it in the matric pack
2-lie detectors are quite ex and not practical coz there's too many ppl
3-seniors can sometimes be quite selfish. they couldn't care less. but those who do care cant do much either
the MPSH is the biggest venue in NUS that can hold so many ppl. if they held it in diff places, they can't get enough crowds
surveys never work in NUS
the aim of cramping everything is to make freshmen go thru every lane
nstead of carrying lik us till our hands go red?
7- dats a good suggestion. there's some lockers below MPSH2
but limited lah

below is an extract from Terry Bisson "they r made out of meat"
["Oh,there is a brain all right.It's just that the brain is made out of meat!that's what I've been trying to tell you."
"Thinking meat!! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!!"
"Yes,thinking meat!Conscious meat! Loving meat.Dreaming meat.Singing meat.The meat is the whole deal!"
"Omigod.you're serious then.They're made out of meat."]

lolz ..Aliens can be veri funnie describing us.Juz imagine.US Sentient meat.
It's a wonder tat my meat can tink so much.I dun understand a lot of tings.Must do a complete meat workout soon.

My aunt accompanied me to a shopping treat yesterday.I bought all Li Lienfung's books(3) and 2 chinese storybooks,plus a blouse and a skirt.I've got to polish up on my chinese b4 it is too late.Li Lienfung told a story about ignorance of use of chinese words.Here goes:
A singaporean tourist was in a boat over the west lake in HangZhou when suddenly he saw a woman bobbing up and down in the water.How was he to know that the young lady was wading in the lake looking for lotus roots?Given the size of the lake,he tot tat the water must be so deep tat the poor woman was drowning.He could not have known tat the water of the vast West Lake was always so shallow tat it was impossble for anyone to drown.Believing her life was in danger,he behaved like the good Samaritan:he reached out,grabbed her and hauled her into his boat.The young lady screamed and the Singaporean was promptly arrested by the local police."Y did u do a silly ting like tat?" asked the policeman during the interrogation.The Singaporean protested.He said yuan1 wang3,meaning tat the charge of molestation was untrue.Not being proficient in his tones,he pronounced yuan4 wang4 ,meaning wish and desire.The policeman shook his head."Heck,it is my yuan4 wang4 too,but do u see me goin around n grabbing gals in broad daylight?3 days behing bars ought to sort u out."

Now tat was really yuan1 wang3!!

Todae I went to Sim Lim square to get a PDA ..Unfortunately,they don't have the specifications I want ..3mega pixel camera,at least 128mb storage drive for MP3 playin' and a 300mega hertz fast processor.So instead,I bought 2 drawf hamsters named Dee (white with black spots)and Rafiel(grayish markings) and all accessories needed to ensure tat I cannot afford to buy all PDAs.Tat's my strategy of stopping my desires.No la, of course I 've been wanting to buy hamsters for a very long time already =) .

Yea! Form submission extended for me till end of this month.*does a boogey dance*

Essensial modules for tat are :
1) EL 1101E  -  The nature of language
2)EN 1101E  -  Introduction to literary studies(most likely I take this) or
    EN 2101E  -  Literary Appreciation and criticism
3)EL 2131  -  Patterns in English: Grammar & Meaning
4)EN 2111  -  Reading British/World Texts (I chose ,out of 3 choices) 
 
Damnit. The  choices of other modules(Breadth ,subject groups,Sing.Studies) are harder to search in NUS website.Can someone give me a hint please?
