What now? This means that I can't study the subject this semester and it would be too risky to try bidding for it in the second round (since there a quota of 2 students only =.= ) . It's been an exiting day today, with the uncertainty of whether you bid enough for your modules. True, it's a test of decision making skills and almost mimicking the way we prioritize decision making in real life. I've also encountered the "showhand syndrome", that is throwing an insane amount of points 750 which is usually seen in other bidding rounds for 3rd years students etc. I wanna know who's that joker who threw in all his points for EG 1431. I wonder how he/she's like...An eccentric who defies all laws of common sense or a sane person who calculated the chances of spending away all points of 750. Odds are impossible for the minimum bid to be 750 but that joker would be pushing up the bid price for that particular slot.

That aside, I guess I would take a GEM/ SS module this semester then, not that I have a choice to make up my 20MCs/19MCs to be precise this semester so as not to overload next semester. I need 160 MCs altogether to graduate. Anyways, since the system is kind of complicated and would take a long time to explain, I shall skip the explanation.

As for CCAs, I'm definitely intending to join one. In fact, I'm already in 3 CCAs automatically, the NUSSU (NUS Student Union), Engineering Club and Investment Club (which I joined of my own accord). Investment Clubs is ad-hoc basis though and the best thing is it's up to you if you want to prioritise your studies and be an inactive member and not join any CCAs AT ALL. Well, since this is the last student life I will enjoy, before I enter the working world, I would like to strike a balance, a very fine one indeed, between studies and CCAs. This are the CCAs that interest me so far:
-AIESEC (Travel abroad and work for a short period of time)
- Engineering & Computing Club
- Institue of Electrical& Electronics Club
- NUS Business Incubation Global Organisation (BINGO)
- NUS Entrepreneurship Society - Toastmasters Club (I'm definetely joining this) - NUS Student Community ( Ad-hoc basis once again, like do CCAs once in a while)
- Friends of NOC (to find out more information on NOC)

AND 1 more Martial Arts/ Sports club
- Health & Fitness Club (Yoga, kick-boxing, pilates...) or
- Taekwondo/ judo/ Muai Thai

So many clubs right? I'm shocked myself too. No wonder people can get so overwhelmed by the amount of activities in NUS. I'm obviously not going to join all. It's a sure way to fail the honours that I'm aiming for or worse, getting kicked out of NUS. So please don't lecture me on the varied interest I have / planning to develop. I can't help having a wide interest right? Anyways, it's amazing the number of CCAs there are that are catered to my interests. HAHAx. I hope I don't forget that I'm there to study and that I want to go for NUS overseas College.

Speaking of which, I bought a Fujitsu laptop, my very own lappy. I finally managed to convince my mum that Fujitsu is worth is and that the HP design offered sucks. I really couldn't stand it. And my parents relented though albeit reluctantly. Wahhz.. Maybe I should have taken Acer instead. According to Hui Li, the specs is better but I was worried about the IT support. My dad had a Acer laptop before and the IT support sucks. HP is still the best in IT support. But with IT coop in NUS, I shouldn't have to worry right? =x It's also cheaper and not as bad looking as HP. HP looks like those old computers in school. Oh ya, over HP and Fujitsu design, even though HP specs are better, people still prefer Fujitsu. HP design are a real turn off. This goes to show that deisgn still play a very important role in consumer's decision making. It's not unreasonable at all, I mean if the food looks like it's fished out of the bin, no matter how tasty it is, will you still dare to try it? In the campus, laptops will be like an identity that shouts how the student is like, at least to me. Like this: Not very visible though, for the material they use.


I chose a white color for my Fujitsu laptop. This is my laptop:


I know it will turn grey easily, but I can't help prefering white over black. =x Even my bag is white. I think it suits me more. Hahax. And yupx, that's all. Heh.. Till next time~
