So the CCA points are out already........and i din realised that until chris's fren told him when i was in his room.........and yay i have enuf enuf points!!!
And i was quite surprised to see some comms giving so much points cos initially when i joined they told me may not give that many points for this or that particular comms........but in the end gave a lot lor that's y i hit the cap for organisational points........
Cos every comm or activity you join will fall under a certain category.......and i tink there's only like 6 categories altogether......for me right now my list onli has 2 different categories - organisational and arts/culture. For organisational i have a lot of points even though i din expect it lor cos 2 of my 4 major comms are considered as "small" comms - block comm and insights. So i tot i shud only have about 30 ++ points from there.....in the end turned out to be 58.1 points pulak! Gave me a shock haha but then since the cap is 40 i'll end up with 40 anyway.......here's the breakdown:
Welfare Comm : 10
Video Production Unit : 12
Insights : 12
Block Comm : 10
Culture Comm : 4 (tis is for the short film assignment)
Interim Block Comm : 4
Interim Video Production Unit : 4
Add these up plus some bonus/demerit points (for absence i guess) and u get 58.1 (dat explains the decimal point...cos sum bonus/demerit is like 0.1 or 0.5 points....weird but true....)
The arts/culture thingy is actually from the filming of the Indian Dance one hahaha and they gave me 13 points yeah! Luckily it falls under a different category so i wun end up with just 40 points only..........so in total i'll have 53 points for now! (71.1 in actual fact) But then i realised they din add in everything yet.....or maybe they wun but there are sum stuff dat i did which was not added in........like the volunteering for the NUS run thingy.........plus the inter-block games where i joined touch rug (i was the capt actually lol imagine dat....) And since touch rug belongs under sports if they actually give me points for that i can add into the grand total still! Hahaha that will help to put me higher on the list when it comes to choosing my room!
Well it's actually pretty satisfying to see the list of activities that u've joined plus the points that come with it.......i noe it's not as important as our grades plus in actual fact international students like me onli need 4 pathetic hall points to be able to qualify and stay on for my 2nd year but as i said sometime last year i wanted to see a change and thus participated in more activities..... I may still yet to be as active as some others in hall but i dare say i'm one of the more active ones already, what with my duties for VPU, welfare and block comm plus the other miscellaneous ones..........so i'm really really glad that i finally achieved sth i said i wanted to! I became more active and sociable! And i guess i did meet more people, though yet again i'm only close to like what...2 of them..?
And that leaves me with a dillema.....cos on one hand i noe i have enough points to stay on in hall liao......so there's really no need for me to join a holiday comm to secure a place in TH.......but then at the same time the people i'm close to are leaving hall next sem......and if i dun get involved with the next orientation in one way or another, i'll basically end up as pretty much a loner again when i return for Year 2.........plus the fact that if i do not intend to stay on for my 3rd year (if they still went on with that ridiculous price hike of theirs), then i most prob wun join much activities when i'm in hall during Year 2........cos need to focus on studies........so will meet even less people...............
Haih i dunno.............2 months of holidays being sacrificed in the name of expanding one's social circle is actually just a facade covering the truth of being fearful of ending up alone with no one close to talk to........well not that i'm not used to that kind of life but i would rather not have it for 2 semesters long..........it seems too much even for me.........already i'm not very close to anyone in my tutorial class.........i need to at least have sum close frens in hall.........or the emo-ness will probably just drag me down for good.........
So..............at least rite now i noe accommodation ain't gonna be a problem for me next semester. One problem down already! (see how far i worry about things.......? Dat's y i'm always stressed.......)
Maths paper tmr........instead of worrying about sth that's set to happen in less than 24 hours i'm wayyyyyyy into the future looking at things that may or may not me.........kudos to me........i'm such a daydreamer..........
Fine............to cheer me up.........or anybody out there feeling down..........here's a nice picture.
Man and wife lung slices huh..........? Man i hate to admit this but the picture seems oddly tantalizing to me..........maybe it's time i practice cannibalism.........
