Happy Valentine’s Day to all.. i’m really happy today, cos i have a great date, that started from 2pm this afternoon..and it’s going on till 10pm @ least..

I think i’m really lucky to meet someone as great as her, without her my life would not be complete. Time seems to pass so fast whenever i’m with her, and she never lets me down in front of my frens, who always see her as one with depth, though not really of surface beauty.

But i can hardly care less for negative opinions about her, i want to be with her.. she completes my life… o we snapped a pic together : : : : : Me with my love: “Lecture Notes on PC3130: Quantum Mechanics 2″

Have a good evening u ppl ;)

NUSSU NEWSFLASH

Fee Hike

Dear fellow students,

The NUS Students’ Union (NUSSU) met with the University Administration on Friday, 10th February 2006, and was informed of an impending increase in tuition fees. The administration took efforts to explain the rationale of such an increase to us.

Despite our vigorous objection to the fee increase for AY2006/2007, remembering that the last fee increase was in AY2005/2006, the University Administration still deems such a measure necessary in order to keep up with cost increases. NUSSU is also disappointed that despite requests to be more involved in discussions for school policies affecting the students, there is no consultation before this fee hike is announced to the Union. Nevertheless, we are committed to exploring with the University Administration on viable ways of consultative engagement pertaining to school policies affecting our students.

The University Administration has given NUSSU the assurance that it will channel more money for financial aid for needy students in the form of bursaries and to fund new and innovative schemes such as the Subsistence Loan and the Work-Study Assistance scheme. Following the discussion with NUSSU, the administration has agreed to further increase this commitment – in total, the administration will be setting aside an additional $3million for financial aid schemes for AY2006/2007. NUS remains committed to ensuring that no deserving student is denied a tertiary education because of financial difficulty. More information about the financial packages may be obtained at the following link: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/sfau/main.htm

Similarly, NUSSU manages its own NUS Students’ Fund Bursary for needy students, more information of which may be obtained here: http://nussu.nus.edu.sg/~nussf/index.htm

The last round of bursaries and book grants has just been awarded and the next round of applications will be from 1 September 2006 to 30 September 2006.

NUSSU remains committed in upholding the interests and welfare of the students. We value your feedback at (nussu_welfare@yahoo.com.sg) and will encourage active discussions in the IVLE portal, under the link: “Fee Hike Response”.

We thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

Regards, Quek Boon Guan Danny President Executive Committee 27th NUSSU Council

aNUS just screwed our your asses again.. what’s new.. everyone leaves with a larger asshole after life in nus..It doesn’t mean that by providing more bursaries u can alleviate the effects of yet another rise in fees, it also means that for students who are not well-off but not poor enuff to qualify for aid, they are screwed big time.

Knowing how aNUS is run, they will listen to feedback, and “yes yes we understand”. End of day it will be

“We have heard from the student population that most people are opposed to the rise in feeds,but due to our ever increasing need to add more courses, build a nus high school with running track and tennis courts, build a big building for YST, and maintain our admin building which is representative of the fact that we are a top quartile uni (18 drop to 22), we have to raise fees. Those who are rich, pls pay. Those who are poor, no worries, we do a robin hood n take from the rich students to pay for you so that we can say we got action.. Those neither here nor there, well, we would just pretend that u’re not there…”

corrinne may and other stuff

Posted at 01:53.13 and filed under aNUS, Musings

And so the dreaded week has started, what with nuclear test today and qm2 test on friday. Nuclear test, i dunno wat to say, very long time never did so high-pressure MCQs? 10 qns, 4 options each, total weightage for final grade..15%!! that’s like 1.5 percent per qn lah, literally determines whether u’re A or A+ (in my case, C+ or B-)

It was pretty lucky to go listen to corrinne may today, and even more special as the 1st time i’m paying for an event @ ucc.. she was pretty good last nite over @ the hall, but today she really rocked my socks off. She sang more or less the same set of songs as last nite but i guess in the cosier environment of the theatre, it was way better.. The company was good too, andrea, teck n his gf jay, carlin and tj…

I think the part that made me really like corrinne may wasn’t her singing but her total lack of airs. Sunday nite, she took about 2.5 hrs to sign autographs for everyone who was willing to wait in line. And no, she didn’t force u to buy her cds, she gave out posters n flyers n autographed on them, personalised with ur name on top..u want 1, she gave..2, or 3, or more..she obliged with a smile. Take pics etc..no problem! The one that really clinched it was when shane complimented corrinne on her shoes and asked where she bought it. Corrinne lifted up her foot in a tak-glam pose but that really showed how ease she is with fans.. ;)

Don’t be jealous :P

The photoshopped money problem seems to have been sorted out which is good. Looking back, it’s a wise move to eventually remove all the details, as an email to MAS proved that it’s fucking illegal to do it. Huike did say that a mark lee show got him singing a song on tv, with his face over yusof ishak’s. However i still believe that for such matters, it’s better to err on the side of caution.

I’m working for nus openhouse 06 in march, under the ORCS. Talk about sleeping with the enemy man…i figured that it would be a good experience and since they are paying a decent rate of close to 7 bucks per hr, it’s pretty ok with me.. wanted to apply for tour guide, ie stationed on bus n bring ppl ard campus..the interview was pretty interesting.. 3 of us, with 3 interviewers.. i was with 1 quiet gal and a laidback guy, very very laidback i must say.. i mean, wat kind of impression u wanna give with this?

*enters room, take seat n slides butt down, cross legs* Him: How long would this take? OCR: 10-15 mins? Him: Ok let’s make it 10, i’m in a rush

The questions were asked to nobody in particular, you have to take turns to answer. So seeing this, i took the chance to answer 1st. Being the kiasu bugger i was, i answered all the qns 1st, which ensured that for stuff like “tell me about usp”, i could say about 60% of the content n let the rest touch up the rest. The laidback guy was pretty vocal too, so i kind of pity the gal who got stuck in this kind of F up grp where she had little or no chance to say anything really impressive.

This qn really reminded me of those ushering interviews, “Say there is a parent who wants to go to bizad from src to listen to a talk, but the bus is not here yet n she’s getting angry, what would you do?”

Gal (answering 1st for 1st time): I will apologise n check bus timings for her Laidback Guy: If there are buses available solely for openhouse, i would call a bus to come down immediately Me (giving cliche ans): Ok we must 1st realise that the guest is not angry with us personally, he’s just pissed that he’s not getting a bus there on time.. so we need to show that we understand his situation n try to help accordingly. As a helper, we should have access to the bus schedule n talk schedule too, so that i can advise him accordingly. When the bus comes, ensure that he boards the bus, preferrably ahead of other guests so that he knows that we are making an effort to make things to him. Lastly if possible, show him there urself, accompany him on bus. If that’s not possible, give him ur name n number so that he can contact u if any problems

How standard is that answer, i think that, and the relevent ushering experience made them give me the post of…

TALK USHER

what the…wanna do something else oso cannot…nvm..think of the money… it’s all about the money…
