Went for the MOE meet up session yesterday...
And like Cheryl in church put it, it was kinda waste time one lar... ok... managed to meet up with some old friends from primary school (OMG! Fahmie!?), secondary school and JC.
Played some ice-breaker games to... break the ice. haha... the guys and the girls were like separated... and the guys were outnumbered! so no choice, we, the guys, had to take the initiative to chat up some of the girls. haha... managed to meet up with some nice gals like Jerilyn and Fiona.
And then there was this other game about some Hopi family thingy. I was like super enthu to be one of the characters, i just raised my hand so quickly even the facilitators were shocked! haha... anyway, had to play this Father Hopi character... I was supposed to be stern but in the end i acted more buay song... haha...
Oh well.
Something that made me quite irritated was the fact that the stand on hostel stay arrangements kept changing! One minute, I was under the impression that I could choose what type of room to stay in and then just get reimbursed at double room rates and the other, I (or rather we) was/were told that we could only choose double-rooms!
And it didn't help that the facilitators couldn't give us a solid answer on how NUS was gonna arrange the allocation of rooms for us...
When I went down to NUS to do my hostel registration at OSA, i just chose single rooms at both PGP and Ridge View Residences as my 1st and 2nd choices. I mean, what is so wrong with me choosing single rooms if I can top up the extra rental i have to pay?
Perhaps the system is that the scholars will definitely get a place to stay in NUS and we are given a choice. I mean, after all, it's only logical to think that when NUS specifically stated that they preferred us to apply the normal way as most students would and not rely on MOE's "reservations".
Supposed to meet up with H for lunch but he was at AH!!! argh... miscommunication.
