2nd Day of Bidding
Woohoooo... 3 more hours to go before bidding closes. I've decided 4 out of 5 modules that I would intend to read in my first semester. 1 more to go...
Started off on a bad note today, insufficient rest from yesternight's slumber caused me to be in a state of daze for the whole morning. My maid kept walking up and down the living room in the wee hours of the morning in a dilema of whether to fill that growling stomach of hers, many times passing by the door of my room. The slightest noise in the dead of the early morning is enough to keep anyone awake especially if one has not already been asleep. That was what exactly happened to me... I finally got to sleep at 3.30am.
Nothing much is expected to happen today since I went for a swim of 18 laps yesterday with my old schoolmate, Lyon. Amazing! That was the first time I have ever done that many laps in my entire life. If not for him, I guess I would still be doing my "One lap, 10 min of rest" routine everytime I go for a swim. Many thanks to him!
The pressure from the tickings of the clock sitting peacefully on my wall is growing; the hands of time waits for no one. I will have to make my decision soon.
Read this Dude!
Well, as expected, under the pressure of most of my peers having their own blog areas, I have decided to join the league of extraordinary bloggers. Stressed I am these few weeks as I have to prepare myself for entrance into a varsity. I should stress that the choosing of modules to read is no simple task. All the different modules available in each major will be enough to turn anyone bonkers if they have not laid down a path of which to follow in the next 4 years of their lifes.
A simple introduction of myself here. Well, I am a 21 year old guy, currently studying (Duh...) and I am into mandarin pop and music playing. Learning to play the keyboard as well as singing. (6 months for the former and 2 months for the latter). I am intending to major in ICM (Information and Communications Management), a programme similar to that of NTU's Mass Communications.
I will be placing bids for my desired modules today, the deadline is till tomorrow. Time waits for no one as I struggle to decide on what I should read in my first semester and the rest of my stay in NUS before the deadline of 1700Hrs (GMT +8) tomorrow.
I have been down at NUS the past 3 days for my matriculation and talks on each of the programmes offered in the FASS (Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences). The first day of the talks ended up with me walking out of the lecture theatre long before it has ended. The problem is not with the lecturer giving the talk, but more of a system glitch. The live webstream showed only the visual, minus the audio halfway through the talk. So much for "listening" attentively... After lunch, I decided to try my luck in entering the main lecture theatre where I was denied entry as it was filled up 10 minutes before the commencement of the talks in the morning. (As expected of Singaporeans, eager as always) I managed to squeeze in with the crowd in the afternoon as I was there 20 minutes before the commencement of the afternoon talks. Much to my dismay, the lecturers kept stressing that we could find out more about their departments on the NUS website... so much for organising a talk. (How informative... I guess getting the info out from the website would be much easier than travelling all the way down there in the morning...)
The same thing will be happening on the 3rd day, so after I have attended what I deemed as the "most important talk" of the day, I decided to return home to do my research via the website and rewarded I was, with most of the information I would need for choosing my modules, on my lap.
Still wallowing in the deep waters of the modular system, I should need the whole day of today and tomorrow to plan for my remaining years back in school, doing what we singaporeans do best... Study.
