Pre exam period.

Signs of exams nearing: more people go to the study room/library, people get moodier, people do more silly stuffs, less people turn up for hall/block events, emptier comm hall.

Signs of exam stress: people quarel over the cyberspace, more posters being defaced, practicing "heavenly kicks" on doors, babble non stop without thinking.

Hmm, I just realised how popular blogging is. Almost everyone I know has a BLOG. I wonder why? Maybe it's just a trend, like how everyone used to own a personal website in the past. But definitely, it is a trend that is here to stay. With every new addition in life, different problems will also arise. Now quarels can start just from blogs and carried on to real life. In sec school days, quarels started form IRC too but we were childish back then. Being in Uni now, I thought people around me will be more mature. How wrong am I.... I guess childishness will always be a common feature when people congregates.

SO says I am fat. I am just heavy lah not fat. Anyway, SO u are LIGHT!

The "real" Night of 77 Stars

Night of 77 stars 07 continued the tradition of all previous block C concert proud tradition of being totally incoherent to absolutely anything but remained remarkably entertaining. The dancers were should part time as stand up comedians, those you see in Gags or Just for Laugh on sbs buses TV mobile. Using Janice contagious laughter, KY's kickass expression, JS's good looks, Tat's MR singapore's muscles, fx's dance moves and wendy's (how?) pinch, I think they can easily be the funniest group of standup comedians ever gathered. Vulgarity also gotten a whole new meaning under the creativity of the girls. Hokkien songs sounds kinda scary now after watching an Ah Beng hold an umbrella going after a ... girl. The level 8 performance really epitomise the incoherent theme. Kenneth also unnecessarily displayed his song writing talent. But I guess he is really sad, if not he wouldn't have even composed that song and performed it infront of the very eyes of his armh armh. It just shows that armh armh-ness is not the way to go. Other than that, I also found out that he is damn good at creating decoys and I have to be the unfortunate one. If his room is burn down or something, it is really not me.

Nus open house

Helped out at Sheares for the NUS open house. It was really quite boring. Not many people would want to visit the halls because not many people intend to stay in hall. If NUS would lower the hall fees, I think a lot more people would want to stay. But I guess it will never happen in the near future.

Teenagers nowadays, at least those coming to NUS really give thorough thoughts about their future. Of course, it is a good thing. I didn't even bother to go for university open houses or faculty talks. Now the first few questions incoming students asked are, "is Life sciences the way to go for the future?", "Is the job prospect for electrical engineering good..."......

Another thing is that JC student really don't know much about hall. With so many seniors and friends in hall, is it really that hard to know more about the various halls in NUS? Ask so many bo liao questions about the different halls. Some even think that all RH are meant for rafflesians. While many others think that all science student should go to KE7 since it is the nearest hall. Since I am from Sheares (and they know it), what kind of answers can they expect? Of course I will put down the other halls to promote sheares lah. Maybe I was once like that...

Year of the Golden Pig

Chinese new year comes with hongbaos and new year goodies. Hongbao wise, it seems to be lesser and lesser each year despite the economy doing better and better. I suppose it just the people getting stingier and stingier.

Being an undergrads also implies that CNY is really short. With midterms one week after CNY who could possibly really enjoy chinese new year. In addition to midterms, there were tutorials and assignments to add on to the misery. Although I cut short my CNY and went back to hall, I played majong almost everyday. It is really an addictive game, very addictive.

Organising CNY dinner during the "week of midterms" isn't a wonderful job too. Late nights were unavoidable but thanks to the kind and understanding Deco IC and chairperson, the week didn't become worse. At the very least, I still had the night before the tests to study and it is not as if I would have studied way before that. Luckily the dinner turn out quite well despite the expected low attendance and unexpected lack of food.


Hieu is really enjoying himself being the Vietnamese Chai Sheng Ye



C-towners left in hall.


Hope everyone has a prosperous Golden Pig year ahead!
