STARS war..

its raining again.. pouring.. these few days not so bad.. Mr. sun take half day leave oni instead of whole day.. in the morning and early afternoon will have sunshine.. den later in e afternoon is downpour.. so at least can hang clothes in first half of the day.. at least will dry a bit.. sometimes if Mr. sun is good he comes back after downpour.. lol.. den u can rehang ur clothes again.. haha..

juz registered my modules for next semester on 13th dec.. in NTU, every course has their own personalised date and time for registering their modules for next semester.. it can be as early as 4th dec and as late as 18th dec.. we dun register all at once.. and everyone of us register via STudent Automated Registration System (STARS) in which i reli find is very very x1000 sucky.. so fed up wif it..

our STARS is something like NUS's bidding system for modules.. juz that ours is not bid.. but is fastest finger first.. the faster u click.. the better timings u get.. it can be as bad as when u click slower by 30 secs and u get all the "holy" timings like 1830-1930 for tutorials.. lol..screw up ur whole timetable..

i will not go into rigorous details of the modules and everything but wat happen to me was for my course the personalised time and date was 13th dec 0930, in that the server will open at that specific time for all of my course's pple to register their modules (meaning ur actually fighting wif ur own coursemates for the good timing tutorials) i went to register in the library wif tin.. ok so at 0925 onwards we r at the screen of registration already all ready to press the button.. and at 0929 i was like clicking non-stop (something like how u click on the server of maple story during peak hours when the server is full) lol.. den 0930! alas! no vacancy! somehow i was slower than others by 0.05 milliseconds or something and the pop up window says "no more vacancy" o my !$^*^#@.. because one tutorial vacancy is oni like 13 places.. and the module i want is very popular i suppose so the 13 places was snatch up exactly at 0930 when everyone click at the same time (yeah its THAT bad).. well i quickly change to plan B and choosed a less desirable timing for the tutorial.. luckily that was fast enuf and i got that.. because if u cant get any tutorial timing that means u cant register that module because its all full.. and that means u may have to choose another less popular module.. and y izzit unpopular? its harder and boring bla bla bla.. u get the picture rite? lol.. tin's click was godlike and she got the timing she wanted.. have to gif her credits for her yi4 yang2 zhi3! haha.. congrats gal.. but sry i cant be in same tut wif u le cause i cant get that timing.. lol..

later that evening i was chatting if hui ying (coursemate) on msn and she experienced the same prob too! juz that she is a bit more unlucky than me in that she cant even get the "holy" timings.. guess her module was so popular until pple even snatch all e bad timings.. so she cant take that module this sem le.. hmm.. thats y its called STARS war.. we're practically fighting.. gone r the days where timetable is something u dun need to care abt and its juz a piece of paper where u highlight in various colours (especially the breaks) lol..

and she told me a very big mismanagement wif the system.. she said she went to check the vacancies for the unpopular modules and there were aplenty of spaces! so its like the unpopular modules r over-allocated and the hot modules are under-allocated in terms of spaces.. they shud open more spaces for the hot ones and less for those unpopular ones ma.. aiyo.. thats y u feel so fed up.. i heard from NUS frens that their bidding system has flaws too.. guess everyone has something to complain huh.. im not sure abt their details but i noe its something abt unfair bidding because different pple r given different points to start wif depending on their course and their study year.. the more senior the more points i guess? so from the start they have more "chips" and can outbid others already to get the hot modules.. moreover u dunno wats the no. of points needed to outbid and get that module.. for example lets say a module is quite hot and needs 250 points to get.. but u think its so popular until u spam ur 600 points on the module.. sure u get that module but wont u be wasting 350 points for nothing when u can juz use 250 and get that module all the same? therefore its like finding the allocative efficiency point and animal spirits (predicting wat others will do)

ok i have a feeling that this post is getting too long and dry.. yeah so all in all this whole fighting-for-wat-ur-studying stuff is reli sucky.. and for those who will be coming uni.. u will empathise wif me when its ur turn.. while its good to have freedom to plan ur own timetable and feel the adulthood.. i guess i reli must say: with more power comes more responsibility..

当你选择拉远了距离
就这么自私做的决定
冲破天际飞去

排山倒海崩塌的回忆
无时无刻袭击我的心
痛得不能自己

或许你以为把这一座城市抛开
就可以终结伤害
却不明白我需要你的爱
不管多少阻碍不求什么未来
不管命运会怎么安排
我会用眼泪洗去所有的不堪
狠狠地把心痛了断
深深地把一切重来

我需要你的爱像掉进了深海
也像坠落悬崖找不到地方可以逃开
别让那些谎言把爱给活埋
当心碎成一块一块
当爱碎曾一断一断
我会等待你的爱

我会等待(我会等待)

你将那些谎言把爱给活埋
