★ Subject registration sucks! ★

Woke up really early in the morning today just to register my subjects for the next semester. Haven't brushed my teeth, washed my face. Imagine me with messy hair (then again you guys never seen me with neat hair :D), in PJs parked in front of my lappy, crazily clicking on the mouse.

Alas, my fingers are too slow again! Out of the 3 english mods I wanted, I only got 1. =,( But the 2 that I added are quite okay I guess. As for the other electives... -_-||| Wanted BS803 cus' that elective's like super slack with a MCQ-based exam!!! Matches perfectly with a super slacker like me, but the vacancies are like 600+ and the waitlist's like 2000+! o_0! So, I changed the order of choice, think it'll be safer to put electives that I'm more likely to get in the top 3. Yeap so I sacrificed preference for probability. I hope this is the wisest decision I made so far. *fingers crossed* Wanted to take Japanese this sem, it's in choice #2 under the unrestricted electives, but I doubt I can get it (again!). As for prescribed elective (STSS), my #1 choice's Cyber Security, haha even though its waitlist exceeds the vacancies, it still ranks #1 on the probability scale as compared to the other electives I selected.

The people in my faculty got magic fingers la seriously! Dunno how they managed to chiong inside so fast, like barely 5 minutes inside STARS (the subject registration system name), and my 2 english mods are snapped up! o_0! Am I too slow? Or are they too fast? Grrr gotta strategise a week in advance at least next sem! Haha I took a few hours to plan the day before and remembered to use the STARS planner to add all of them in instead of manually adding them in STARs. Haha yeap you heard me right, I actually added them in one by one the prev semesters. XD

I'm gonna check back on the vacancy status for HL202 and HL217 (my top 2 that I didn't manage to get)! HL202 is on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, but the professor for this mod's well-known for being a super slacker (haha!) so I don't feel as disappointed not getting it. But the one I'm most interested in taking is HL217, it's a directed study in African Literature la!!! I want that one!!! Sounds super interesting! =,( Hope someone drops it before the add-drop period ends. Please, please!

Haha phew~ Feels so much better venting my STARs woes, can get my thoughts (strategies/plans during the add-drop period, the battle isn't over until then! :D) sorted out. Wish me luck! Hope my ammo's enough for Battle of the Add-drop! :D

Anyhoo, now that it's over, I've got an announcement to make! Tiss just told me about a road show that's organised by her sister and friends in Tanglin Shopping Centre, it's sorta like a launch party since they recently revamped the building, it's from 12 pm to 6pm. So if you guys are reading this and are interested to check it out, do go down to Tanglin Shopping Centre tomorrow (15th Dec!!!) 12pm-6pm! There'll be stalls selling stuff, entertainment acts like magic shows, busking etc, henna art, food stalls, more...!

Will be meeting the booze fellas for KTV-ing tomorrow so can't go support. Sorry Tiss!
