Wow my hall orientation has finally ended. It was erm... FUN FUN FUN!!! tt's a very simple word but it really means a lot. was really lost when i first came cos i couldn't find anyone who is in the same hall as me. kind of sad and lonely at 1st. but this hall is really different and i mean DIFFERENT! they r really nice ppl and it really makes me feel at home with so many friends around (though we just met like 5 days ago). there r ppl from all over the world be it m'sia, china, mauritius, india, korea etc etc. it just so amazing getting to noe them and u noe tt u have a bunch of international friends.
Orientation has always been like a boring thing mainly games, cheers (shout till lose ur voice) and all the usual things lah. But this orientation is just so different. even the very 1st game ice-breaker is like DIFFERENT. we used real ice and oh man it kinda kick started the fun-filled weeks. though of course there r boring moments like talks but i guess it's inevitable bah. Today i guess was the best and dirtiest. But i enjoyed myself thoroughly! Thanks KEWOC! u guys rock man!
ok and btw i went for computing orientation yesterday (darn missed the chance to go to sentosa with my hall mates) and i kinda regretted it. it seems like they were kind of disorganised. like ice-breaking game were thought of at the spot and erm basically we did nth much except to walk around and listen to talks. the talks were kinda impt esp to someone like me (no computing background) so i apparently had to go but really really regretted it man. ok and 1 thing i'm not happy abt is the way they put ppl on the different groups. when freshies sign up, they can actually choose which group they want and of course u can expect those who noe each other would come together. and hey u got it... they just hang around together in tt group and as for me (didn't actually tot of going to same group as my friend as i was thking i shld make new friends) i was kinda alone with those who is alone as well. din;t really like make MORE friends which i expect i should. haha. once the ice-breakng thing started oh man KEVII just came into my mind. the fun times just flashed across my mind and i had the urge to go back. it's just totally different. it not tt i wanna compare or complain but i thk the compclub gotta do sth abt this man. it just so unorganised and i guess they mainly just plan the overview and did not go further into details. my ogls were kinda like the quiet kind too (ok not all my ogls k) so it was like boring. haha ok ok stop complaining!
gonna go for nus cg orientation tml or rather today... kinda excited and it seems tt it's gonna be real fun cos NCC's activities has always been fantastic. haha.
ok regarding uni studies. feeling quite stress even b4 lessons even started. ok NUS uses this CORS system where u will have to bid for ur modules. it's unlike jc,sec,pri where lessons and classes r all allocated and all u have to do is to attend them. no need to worry at all cos everything is like planned for us already. but in uni it's really time to be independent. we got to use points to bid for the modules we one. so it's like there's a limited quota as to how much tt particular lecture can take and we have to use the point to bid for the tutorial. if demand exceed supply, and u loses the bid, u dun get to do the module! but of course for freshies like us, we shld of course be able to get the modules lah cos they r like CORE modules. if we dun get we can continue for the rest of the years. but i'm still stressed over the modules i gotta take. other than our faculty module we still got GEMS lah, S'pore studies lah and breadth modules... it seems like there's a lot of things to take and 1 thing is if i wanna continue stayinig in this wonderful hall i have to be active and i mean really active! so how m i gonna cope!? seniors say time-management is impt but haven we been hearing this same old thing since we started schooling. we have only 24hrs a day! if we slp 8 full hrs, we'r left with 16hrs. den say abt 6 hrs of tutorials and lectures, we r left with 10hrs. den we nedd time to do our tutorials and revise say 5hrs (which obviously is not enough). we'r left with another 5hrs. lunch dinner breakfast,bathing and things like tt take 1.5hrs. so now left with 3.5hrs. so only 3.5 hrs a day to take part in hall or sch activities. that obviously is also insufficient! ahhh!!!!
uni life= boring + fun + busy + stressful + make friends+ study + study + study! + ..........
actually got lotsa things to share but m really tired. have been slping late and waking early for this week and tml oh i mean today i gotta wake up early as well. but if u wan to noe more i'm glad to share with u! haha anyway dun thk u guys want to know so much also cos i thk my post is long-winded enough already
