Bugger me
Wah liew, really feel like got hangover, and I didn't even do anything. That time I club-hopped entire night and morning also didn't feel liddat. I hope it's not a sign of a flu coming up. Bleah.
Anyway, bidding going very well this semester. Got 19th Century British Lit. and Film and History. Both cheap cheap one point only. I just checked the class list for both courses. Got quite a bunch of familiar faces.
But hor, I got news that Media Writing situation beri beri bad leh. Got announcement say what don't panic, if round 3F still no got, can appeal. Then appeal still have to pay 800+ points woh! Daylight robbery! My friend very worried leh. I don't know the exact situation lar, have to wait till Monday for round 2A, but I say first, I got 1200+ points leh. Should be enough arm power, right? Who want to fight with me? 1200+ points leh. Should be no fight lar. I going to showhand lor, 'cos the remaining 3 modules, all pay from General account one, muahahahahahahaha --
-- ha .. Ahem. Okay. Enough cackling. My mother say don't count the chickens first or later drop into the drain.
So hor, today I was plowing through the book I got from NUS, Singaporean brothers write one, not bad leh. Not literary goldmine by any stretch, but quite amusing and creative and thought-provoking. Easy to read also, because all short stories. Got one story about Good and Evil fighting and trying to kill each other, and then hor, aiyah, shouldn't spoiler you all, and I just want to say it reminds me of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's Good Omen, which incidentally you should read too if you are looking for good entertainment. The book is the funniest, although it can be a tad confusing, and the humour a tad difficult to understand if you not as clever as me. But then it's my type of book lar. Like that humour variables quiz said, I intellectual joker mah. ^_^
Anyway, digress already. About that Singapore book, really can consider reading. Got one story, "Thirty Minutes Before Death" makes me want to cry. And another story, quite a nice spin on the Alladin and the Genie story. The book title very interesting one. It's Something Happened On The Way To Hell by K.H. Chong and K.K Chong. Don't know how easy to find in other libraries, but I found it at NUS Central Library.
NUS Central Library, really quite something sometimes. Finally got something that's actually useful and no-fight-one about NUS.

Dat Media Writing should be from FASS also rite? Den Rd 1 not offered ar?
Round 1A and 1B for NM (new media) majors only, but even then they all cut throats got a lot of casualties, I heard. That's why points so high 800+.
Then by right round 1C can bid one, but I dunno why, I checked the info they open to you freshies first, kena sai! So now I have to wait round 2A see how. I hope still got vacancies, 'cos if got, I sure win one. If don't have, I maybe try walk backdoor, see how.
So your bidding how?
got new media major such a thing one ar? So cool.. What do they do? How come major ppl also bid till so high.. xiao one...
I got all 4 modules during 1C. Only used 43 pts.. Quite little... hee...
Anyway, hope to do LAF1201 but heard de bidding is also like xiao n only got like 7 places.. hope can get...
Hope to do GEK1006 too... or FNA2111... hehe.. so many modules rite? but only think i'll get one for 2A.. cos 400 pts too few liaoz...
Any tips for bidding for FASS modules dat are like super hot?
Tips? You think gambling at casino arh? No lar, nothing you can do about the system, 'cept patience, hang on to 3F if you want the module enough, and stalk the professor lor. I did that last sem and got the module I want, ha!
I dunno why lar, but FASS always got strange situation liddat, bid high high. CNM (Communication News Media, I think) is the new name of what was ICM (Information Communication Media). Last time more focused on IT cheem stuff, lias with SOC one. But now NTU got FASS also, so NUS stepped up and throw in more media content stuff into the department, revamp and voila! CNM. Like NTU mass-media liddat. Got standard or not, still dunno lar.
tot by the time 3F lec start liaoz?
Yes, but the battle still goes on. I last sem lec start only got TWO pathetic modules and didn't get settled until 3rd week of school. See, I veteran CORS system fighter.
hehe.. like dat wun ya miss some of the lecs? or ya just go for them anyway??
Wa?!! 2 modules??! Hehe.. Dat's damn cool.. How did ya end up having 2 only??
I am the coolness, I know. :P
Well, it so happened that the other three modules I bidded for all SIZZLING HOT, and I was stubborn, I die die spread my program account points among them, held on until 3F, not wanting to compromise and give up any. In the end, really die die lor.
And I'll let you in on something. I in the end had to take Political Science instead 'cos it's the module with plenty of vacancies, and then I didn't go for a single lecture.
Again, I am the coolness. I did well for PS anyway. :P
Then as for the other two modules, yar, I went for the lectures and clung on like a pest. For the super hot module, I wrote to the prof and told him that if he didn't let me in, I won't be able to graduate in time, and "THAT WILL BE ALL YOUR FAULT". It worked like a charm, I got in. The other module, the prof very nice also increase class size and took in every poor soul like me. So things did work out in the end.
wah!!! sounds like ya're threatening de lecturer lorz.. surprised ya din get disciplinary actions instead of the modules haha...
No lar, I got tact one. My letter was actually quite funny in a mock-hysterical manner, I remembered. And I wrote it in red 'cos that's the only pen I got with me that day.
Arts people got more sense of humour, I suppose. I can't imagine any prof petty enough to think it warrant disciplinary actions. All in good fun. :P
hehe.. really? sounds cool...
