We thought STARS was bad. Think again. The NCCU system is so complicated! If you want to add what you didn't get during the initial round of registration, you have to go for the first lesson and then see if the teacher will take in more people. Otherwise, you wait on the waiting list. If you are interested in other modules you did not register for the first time round, you can register for them and be even further behind on the waiting list. The system updates at 5pm everyday to let you know if you have gotten the module you have been waiting for. At least STARS is immediate. Fastest fingers first!
Fine, I'm adapting well to my room, other than the fact that I dare not climb up to my bed, so I bought a puzzle mat, a mattress and a sleeping bag to sleep on the ground. The hilltop dorm is really pretty good - bigger room (with taller bed), nice study room, tv room and two toilets and two laundry rooms on the same floor, more cubicles in each toilet too, and a canteen below the dorm together with a little co-op (合作社/福利社). There's shuttle bus downhill as well, but service ends at 11pm on weekdays and 10pm on weekends. I won't go back that late anyway, but it just sux going back up alone. I'm like isolated here, don't know what's going on with the rest also. Everyone's in pair, and I'm stuck here. My roommates are fine, and it won't be that bad if they are random people, but they are so close already it's really hard to enter their clique. We do talk randomly and go shower together sometimes, but there's nothing much to talk about now. I will randomly ask them questions to know them better, but the conversation never goes far leh. But ok lah, they are ok. I miss Shiyan!!! (Someone can tell her hahah) 沒有特別想家,只是有點想念我矮矮的床和N個枕頭,還有家裡可以邊洗澡邊唱歌的大廁所,還有超好nua的客廳和沙發,還有家裡免費的食物,還有可以跟我亂哈啦的家人(哎呀,室友不熟,真的不好哈啦)。
FINALLY I have Internet connection. I will blog about the past week tonight.

I wanted to say I'm so in love with myself. And then I wondered, is this 自愛 or 自戀?
Anyway, Michelle and I were discussing, is it better to love someone who do not love you at all, or to be loved by someone you do not love at all? My choice was to love someone who do not love in return. If you are loved by someone you do not love, won't you feel irritated? At least when you love someone who do not love you back, you can still 自得其樂. I live in denial, yes...
Wahahah 報應啊! I think there are many people looking forward to me getting attached or 搞曖昧 or something. I tell you, dang gu gu! 等久久! I think I kachiau-ed so many people they are dying to kachiau me back. Come on lah, exactly since I kachiau-ed so many people, I know how to avoid being kachiau lah! As I said, 我只想吃糖,不想吃菜或喝茶. Wahahah!
Wa! Met so many people these few days! Especially Hwachong people! On Monday, I met Jessie in Bugis before she went back to Malacca, followed by Yiqi. Haiz, out of all the SM/UW interns, I only got to meet Yiqi, but not Xian Hui, Cecilia and Simin. On Wednesday, I met up with Yu-Yin, Marcus, Terence, Lee Heng and Yu-Tse for lunch at PS Swensen's. There was the one-for-one deal so lunch was really cheap! Yu-Yin, Marcus and I then went to Katong Teo Heng to sing song with Yunzhou, Lian Joo and Lanfang. K has never been so cheap, only $7 per pax! The more people you have, the cheaper it is, because they go by room charge. On Thursday, I met up with Xin Hui for lunch at AMK, and we went to Orchard and Chinatown after that. I finally decided to stop watching the exchange rates and start changing money, but the rates are really damn bad! I only realized just now that it's because many people are going overseas during the CNY period, hence the exchange rate fell.
Today, I went back to Hwachong early in the morning and on my way to the bus stop, I saw my eye candy for the last time. Wahahah! I reached school before Lanfang, Marcus and Terence did, and it felt a little awkward going back to school. We are from the 06 batch and they are now at the 10 batch now! OMG! When Terence reached school, we went down to the bazaar and we felt sooo out of place. So we went to the retiree area at the canteen to wait for Lanfang and Marcus. It got better when there were more of us. We went to chat with some of our teachers. We saw Miss Grace Chua, Mr Andrew Tan and even 方老師, but not my favourite Mrs Jasmine Yap! We never go up to the staff room to look for her though. We stayed until the dance session and got really high watching the faculty dances. I love Athena but Ares dance totally rocks! (See below for the fac dance) I went to Raffles Place Shopping Arcade with Marcus to check out the exchange rates because Weiding and Terence both recommended that place. Bleh, we went after 12.30pm and most of the money changers were closing for the afternoon for prayer, and they will only be open after 2pm. So I went off to meet Audrey, Fon Ping and Michelle at VivoCity after checking out the rates. We went for lunch, walked around Vivo and then went to Banquet to wait for Fon Ping's bf. Fon Ping had class at 6pm so we left Vivo, and I went back to Raffles Place with Audrey to change money.

Three more days to CNY! Five more days to Taiwan!
I have not packed. I'm going out in about two hours' time to meet Xin Hui so I gave myself another excuse for procrastination. Tonight. I will start tonight!
That day I had this sudden realization of how I do not like it when people 越界. 越 my 界, that is. I don't like to be taken over. I don't like it when people like what I like.
Maybe that's why I am suddenly so in love with the gay population. (Friends, enough with the shocked look. I am not going off the straight path.) One thing for sure, we will never fall for the same person. And even if we do, there will be no conflict, unless that person is bi. Anyway, I really want to change public perception of gays. They are really nice people and it just so happens that the people they like are of the same gender.
On a side note, I think I might be allergic to alcohol. Not that I love drinking that much. I just like to drink a little. I will never drink a lot because: 1) Drinks are expensive. 2) Getting drunk is ugly. 3) You don't remember what you do when you are drunk. Therefore I will not drink. Oh, and 4) Alcohol gives me hives. *Itchy*
Anyway, I have two new favourite celebrities - 修杰楷 and 謝家發. Ok, 謝家發 is totally random. He's a DJ at 933, previously at 883 and 1003. I used to listen to his show on 1003, and I admire his knowledge of pop music. He's pretty cute too; I think I saw him once on the train. 修杰楷 is my new “我到台灣最想遇見的男明星”. Result of watching 福氣又安康 and 痞子英雄. 現在才發現原來戰神和惡作劇2吻他都有演! 丁噹's我愛他 is my favourite in KTV now, both because of the song and because 修杰楷 is the MV 男主角.
I'm thinking of setting up a new blog for the next five months. Stuck between 無名 and Blogspot.

Friday night on my way home from malahuoguo dinner:
I saw this guy at the bus stop who looked like someone I know, so I couldn't help but look. We happened to get off at the same stop. I looked at him again, and our gaze met for a moment. *尴尬* I hurried back to my block and got into the lift. As the lift door closed, he suddenly appeared. Erpz neighbour. That was not the reason I found him familiar though. Anyway I jumped when I saw him. I hope he didn't see that. *歹势*
Saturday night when we finally found Tantric:
We finally found Tantric along Neil Road and I realized that place looked familiar. I was wondering out loud if my ex-music school was nearby as I looked around. And when I looked up, I saw the Music Story signboard. Oh! I used to come here every week for about half a year. I didn't know there was a bar right next door. What a coincidence. I want to go back and learn singing leh... *怀念*
Bloody hell, I might be allergic to alcohol. I think I got hives after drinking last Saturday when we brought our Taiwanese friends to Play (club). Meaning I cannot drink anymore. Not that I love drinking that much, nor do I drink often. But I do like to drink once in a while. I don't want to get hives once in a while though. *damn.*
Monday morning at the polyclinic:
The numbers jumped surprisingly quickly and it came to the number sequentially before mine soon. But right after that number came a string of random numbers and I got damn pissed off. Thank goodness after about four or five people, it was my turn. *pek cek*
At the pharmacy, I thought I was supposed to wait for my consultation number to be called. I waited for quite awhile before realizing I was supposed to get another number to collect my medicine. Walao eh, wait for so long for nothing. *blur*
