I Fuck Up Sometimes

was smsing x today regarding what modules to take next sem. how much to bid and what to bid since we failed in phase 1 of the bidding. now this has NOTHING TO DO WITH X but apparently bidding is a very big issue esp among the fucking kiasu and scared to fail students in SMU. it's like the holy grail where the bidding system takes up the whole afternoon kinda thing. where people will fret and worry about their time table. plan how much to bid for a module etc etc. i shall not dwell into it. from my tone one can probably see that i do not hold biddin in such high esteem. i mean u either get it or u dun. and abt how good a proff is, i frankly believe that smart is smart. it doesnt matter which proff u get, its how u study. and what's so good about having a 2 day week or a 3 day week, it's give and take, u take less days mean u're either taking less modules or ur squeezing everything together. it's just a matter of choice. what's there to be indecisive about? and how much to bid for a module, yes u can check the past years bidding, how much was the min bid and max bid for each proff but the market changes. one proff was so hot that everyone bidded for him, like they paid tons to get into his classes and what did he do after knowing all that? continue to be a slacker and give out a's and a+'s like no one's bloody fucking business? hell no. he screwed them over. and over. and over. plus, last sems' bids are NOT an accurate reflection of this sem's bid. to get an accurate picture i believe u have to find out what the people are bidding for the up coming sem, try to get a rough estimate of how much they are paying and up it by 5 bucks to be on the safe side. i'm not saying that there are no nice people that will tell u how much they're bidding. but life's a bitch. why wld they want u to get into the same course as them when they are fucking going up against u? i have people coming up asking me how much i'm bidding for a particular module. and they go down to the vv last cent. i mean get a life, use ur brain and stop thinking that people are dumb. for 1, i dun really know u that well, 2 u obviously do not want to see me in ur class and 3 i hate u and u know it. if i dun get it this sem, i'll prob get it the next. whatt's the big idea? so what if u get it 1st? does it make u any better. at the end of the day i'm gonna have so much money left over i'm gonna be 1 rich mother fucker and i'm gonna get all the courses i want for my later years.

but that's not the point. i've been working at suntec at the world nephrology conference where they discuss things ranging from renal dysfunction to having lunch synpohsims where they try to tell u how good rubber coated syringes from johnson and johnson are. btw, 1 course is 100 usd. i attend on the average 4 a day for 5 days. i'm worth 2000usd now. plus 600+ sing that i'm getting. back to the main point, i'm a room manger in charge of the room etc etc. lately i've developed a habit of watching movies on the laptop that is linked to the audio system. it has been going on with out a hitch for days. today, was no exception. so during the interlude i decided that playing some nice music wld be nice instead of hearing indian doctors chatter in inglish, comparing who has more FREE gifts and chinese doctors comparing how many lectures they didnt pay for but managed to sneak into and european doctors talking in their native tngues making u seem like they think they're THAT much better than u. 1st fatal mistake, turning on the audio so that songs from the lap top will be played in the ballroom. after the interlude my guys switched off the lights and the speaker started speaking 2nd mistake i closed the winamp instead of turning off the audio switch which means that as long as i play anything on the laptop the whole ball room will hear it. seeing that everything is in order and things are running smoothly i proceeded to finish the rest of "attack of the clones". i've done this countless times and and after closing winamp i usually turn off the volume from the laptop to the ballroom speakers. this time i got a sms from x just after i closed winamp, knowin it was her i then 3rd mistake, PICKED UP MY HP instead of turning off the laptop audio connection. after replyin the msg i promptly clicked play on the laptop to continue watching "attack of the clones".

the words "JEDI" echoed across the whole room, cutting the speaker off midway.

my heart skipped a bit. the audio man choked on his stolen sandwitches from a citibank conference next door (now this is what i call sandwitches. the bread is so damn soft and crumbly. it's even colour coded. white fot cheese and tomatoe sandwitch. brown for tuna. pink for mayo and eggs. and heng sui actually said," hey these colour codes are cool. samosas are light brown some more. (hell they are fried u idiot) and they all come in triangles (i wanted to ask him if he's seen a square samosa...)citibank own man. they really own."



i looked at the audio guy and he looked at me. my usher (it was miss angelic smile today. apparently she wanted to be under me after thinkin my car was a beemer. 2nd gal to think so already after m. i think she wanted a life home more than wanting to talk to me but wee nee screwed all her plans by meeting me for lunch) looked at both of us and said ," NI MEN SI LE"

like i didnt know that... and i stress, she actually said NI MEN. i mean hell! u were watching the show too. just because I clicked play i'm dead and audio man was in charged of audio so he's dead too. well ur supposed to be standing at the door in case anyone comes in so in my terms ur just as dead as me. and we all wld have died if someone complained to the room manager. and we wld have died if the room manager heard it. we wld surely be dead if the room manager got pissed.

BUT I WAS THE ROOM MANAGER. i answer to me, myself and i.

just felt like a dick for 2 seconds and then switched off the connection and proceeded to finish "attack of the clones". remorseless and guiltless. for those of u who know me u prob will know it takes a lot to make me feel bad. this doesnt come close.

a classic example of human error. and i wasnt kidding when the word jedi came out blasting in the ballroom.i paused the show just before count duku (palpatine's padawan) (the emperor's diciple?) (darth maul's teacher...) said , "the JEDI ARE WEAK." i mean anything else and i cld pass it off as a sound glitch but JEDI. i mean how many shows have the word jedi in them. i only know 6 films...
