Everyone's a little bit bored..

Hi guys...

I'm back from my grad trip and can i say that its HOT here in Singapore???

Well had lots of fun there and now, i can safely say that i'll probably be able to lose some weight finally, since i'm currently sick of meat, pasta, eggs, cream and burgers. (not to mention that there's a huge hole in my bank account and i will be eating grass for the next two years)

How's ya all doing?

I suppose those wearing green/blue have booked out for the weekend *snigger*...

Aaron and liwei are stuck in corporate hell...

Heng is probably going to start a new life that has no day nor night...

Sio will be helping us maintain our world class transportation system. *shudder*...

Jasen is allegedly going to start his FYP project..

That leaves slacker me (and probably Fred and Kevin) who are still trying to get a job.

This trip to US was pretty good actually, saw lots of interesting people.. (was in san francisco when the high court finally legalised gay marriage..) people who looked great, people who smelled like all the possible earthly vices and people who slept the streets with only a trolley and a cardboard box (think "The persuit of happyness")

I suppose in Singapore, where begging is illegal, gay rights are still being debated and casino still in the process of being built, we've got a really sheltered life.

This trip makes me think that Singapore is like a model city. Literally where everything looks so perfect and neat, where vibrancy was not encouraged and only in recent years, following our economic stability, that we're trying to make it a more metropolitan city. (then again its probably just a ploy to get more foreign talent and boost tourism)

Truth is.... culture, art, history and social structure takes hell of a lot of time to build. And it often takes major events such as war, economic fluctuations, social revolutions and the like to jump start an era of change. I'd like to think that we're starting to open our minds to new ideas these days, but have we really decided to embrace them?

Well long story short... Live for passion people..

If you can't find a job that fuels your passion, at least take up a hobby that allows you to indulge in your inner most desires. Forget about money for just 10% of your time each day and live to be happy. We can't all be rich and/or famous so at least we'll be happy.

With that, we'll probably start to develop some true vibrancy and culture that we can be proud of.

Sio Sio moving u across the island.

Basically, i have been jobless for weeks and now finally found a job as mrt personnel. So if u travel and see me, walk up and say a hi. I can be ur best frenz, ur bodyguard who watch ur safety,ur caretaker and ur worst nightmare if u ever step on those yellow line. have been on job training for 2 days le, first day, wait the whole day to draw uniform-earned $47 sweet bucks. 2nd days--today, listen to god know what lecture and gai gai around the station and wait wait wait, sleep sleep sleep and dunno break for god know how many hrs-cos trainer is smoker.---early release and earn $47 sweet buck. Tml think gai gai to changi airport see aeroplane then go jurong see student then go raffles see OL. MOndaay, they say go geylang try shoes for the job. free shoes free uniform free ties free belt free pants and free money.

Memoirs of mine...

At 5pm, 2nd May 2008 marks the unofficial end of my 4 yrs of academic studies in NTU. I must say, time really flies... still remember the first day entering uni and first night stay in block 50,hall 10. It seems just like yesterday, coming to a place and living together with people you haven met before. But 4 years later, much has come out from such communal living.

As i am saying 'graduate lo' inside my heart, i am saying it with a tinge of sadness and a heavy heart. Like what james said, its amazing how a bunch of misfits can come together to form such a closely knitted family. Remember the times during IH, where we cheered one another on, where we faced defeats and victories together, where we earned glory together... times during the numerous bbqs that we had, the unimaginable number of drinking sessions, and the famous TCS hosted by felix... ahhaa...

Well, even tho we will be going our separate ways, just remember that friendships forged will stay on forever. For the juniors who are still around, it will be ur turn soon. The seniors will still come back to find u all the la... just think back on all the happy times that we had, guess life wont be that difficult after all. To all graduating seniors, the bbq we are having tonight might be 1 of the very few times that we will have full strength. I wish u peeps all the best in ur future adventures and should our paths crossed again...dun pretend u dun know me hor...hahahah

I shall be a little bit more naggy for this post, messages for certain characters

James, my brother in MAE and my partner in crime in the pantry. You have been such a great company to have around. Starting from yr1, fellow actors in drama, fellow cheerleader ( i only joined for 1 day), fellow boatmen in Aqua X, fellow fighter in X-plat...wah actually if the list goes on i might just die...ppl will think i m gay...hahaha...thanks for sticking around...

Jasen, the forever emo brother...thanks for all the dramas that u have sent me. I realised i m the only person that u dint threaten with ur usual threats..hahah guess i m priviledged...better study hard... will come back to find u eat supper very often de..

Sayheng, the big man with the big heart. known him since sec sch days, very happy to get him as my neighbour (freddie aint that bad also la)... stay hairy forever...all the best in ur future works

Sio, thanks for ur constant entertainment with ur dota gaming and ur guitar. Be good to ur girlfren ahz...and and and...enjoy dota!!

Felix, hahaha....the guy who goes around to host talk cock session. great guy to be with, a great fren to be with too...too bad 3 yrs too short, if not sure can discover more things abt u...

Aaron, this one dun need to comment, jitao is my blood-brother le... thanks for being around during my most difficult times in hall and in my life... u study hard also... i will be back to find u and jasen very often de...

Liwei, the mahjong god...always a confirmed partner in crime at mahjong... cannot imagine how many rounds of mahjong i have played him... glad that he came to block 50 sia...if not mahjong will never be the same again. Glad to know that u found ur job le...just remember to watch ur blood pressure....wahhahaha

okie...very long...i shag le....the above listed are not in order of importance. for those not mentioned, it doesnt mean u are not important... each of u have become a piece of my jigsaw life, piecing together to build a beautiful memory for me...cannot imagine what life would have been if any piece was missing...

For now, i have to say i will be leaving this place with lots of fond memories, lots of great friends and lots of sadness... if only time would stop....

Felix's recollection post....

I guess its my turn to submit my last post as a Hall 10 resident....haa. While typing this, im recollecting my 3 years of stay in Hall which I originally wanted to stay for only 3 months but "一 住 就 住 了 三 年".

These 3 years I have been unbelievably siao on.....anything also join. Lovebites ah (staying overnight and gambling at NLB)....xplat ah (ridiculous outfits)....painting banners.....sticking stupid leftlets in toilets....best and committed soccer manager....comms hall soccer...FICO at 1am...Corporal Ong (when the river flows down the mountain....there wiiiillll be fisssssh!!) ....watching sio play game...supper outings....enjoying single deluxe....james and terence's cookings....tahaning sio as my room-mate and his "night of fire-liked" songs...countless bbq sessions.....takraw silver medalist...one night stand.....excellent FOC committee and lame FOC cheers...tomyam macoronis....3am ghost story session....W11 challenges....crazy amount of TCS sessions (or rather, nowadays we call it "fuck-it-lar- 講心事-lar sessions")..... haha....all have been great fun man! And of course...the "LEGEND".....wait for it ...wait for it...."DARY" BCM brotherhood. LOL!!

I think that more or less sums up my hall 10 Blk 50 life. And it has really been a good 3 years! im glad and lucky that there are so many same frequency ppl around. haaa.

Well, everything good must come to an end. Its sad...but we just have to move on and look forward to the next phase of our lifes. But like what james say....lets hope we will still be able to meet up often in the future bah!

Ok...as usual....i shall end off with some random photos...

TT 501 Toilet Training (3AU)

Came back to hall from a busy weekend of studies yesterday night. Really disgusted at the way some people use the toilet at lvl x-2. If you are reading this and wondering what is the state my message to people living on lvl x-2 or even the whole of blk 50 sums it up:

IF YOU CAN'T AIM PROPERLY YOU MUST WELL JUST PEE ON THE FLOOR OF YOUR OWN ROOM, AT LEAST THAT WILL MINIMISE THE EXTERNALITIES ON OTHER TOILET USERS. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO USE THE TOILET WITH GENUINE CONSIDERATIONS OF OTHER USERS.

But then again maybe someone or some group of people out there were not taught how to use the modern civilised toilet facilities. As such I've included the following links for references:

http://www.thuntek.net/dogtrain/toilet.htm

http://www.wonderbox.com.sg/potty_training.htm

Aiming practice:

http://www.miniclip.com/games/trapshoot/en/

with regards to the "sad" post by liwei.

Ok firstly, just wanna clarify something.
1.)I got offered Liwei the goreng bisang multiple time.He dun want. Yes i din offer him first.
2.)Lewis they all dun have anyone to buy back and he always help me in my study in school.what's wrong with me offering them.
3.)Bro, it is only goreng bisang.
4.)I did say that they more impt. Ok, i apologize for that.
5.)I did offered X floor, but is after i offered liwei.
6.)What is "double standard yet again". Please enlightend. Thx.

That's all.

sad

oh well.. exams are always full of crap.. ppl study till too stress and all kinds of stuff will come out.. kinda angry with some indians who ask Terence to stop watching soccer after Liverpool game coz they want to study in the Tv lounge. but who cares.. we are the king of 50 and we continue to watch.. majority wins

today sio (also not his real name) bought fried banana, wanted to treat ppl to eat. although me and terence are talking outside my corridor, and aaron's door is wide open.. he did not offer us the food. Instead he went to offer his friends and also x level ppl.. after i niao-ing him.. then he offer me.. wat so good now when it is not sincerely offerred. haha.. and when he ask everyone le then still have, then he ask me again. of coz i dun want.. double standard yet again...

he end the conversation by saying that they are more important than us.. FINE!!!!

Annals of a graduating student

Its not really the time to be writing this kind of a post, but since i'm bored out of my mind studying and completing my FYP report, here goes nothing.

As of now, some of us have already taken a foot out of NTU soil (hint- he's a CS Student) and into the vast world of careers and commitments.
Some of us have already made personal commitments with various member/s of the opposite sex (or some of the same sex).
Some of us have already signed their life away to blood sucking organisations or government institutions. (read "Peanuts for Monkeys - Working in the 21st century"

So new paths have to been decided and some have already started on their journey.
At this point in time, thinking about my choices and possibilites, i'm experiencing a barrage of emotions that are unleashed partially due to the time of the night and my 3 consecutive cups of Kopi-O.

As we engage on our next stages in life, new relationships will be made and some old ones inevitably broken or forgotten. I've come to think of us hallx50-ians as a bunch of misfits that have somehow managed to weave each other into a seamless patchwork family. One with beautiful colors, intricate designs and of first-class workmanship, (1000 thread count)

Like the saying goes, old friends are like old clothes, they get more comfortable as you wear them more often. And in this 4 years, I have accumulated many old "clothes" that i have found to be utterly comfortable and unberable to discard.

I guess all i want now, is to be comforted by the fact that soon, we'll be having another bbq (hosted in honor of Felix, Terence, Graduating students and whatever reasons we can come up with), that we'll somehow be together during Dec 2008 eating turkey and fruitcake (without the roasting by the fire), that during CNY 2009 we'll be munching bagua at some poor accomodating soul's house and shouting Ban LUCK!!, and during alumni day 2009, we'll be back reminising about jasen's failed attemps at irritating patch and felicia. (god bless her furry soul)

With a little luck, maybe (just maybe), we'll soon be fighting to be each other's bestman or bridesmaids.
Or we might be calling up each other for another round of majong/soccer or golf.
Who knows, in a little more than 30 years, some of us might end up being entwined once again as family in-laws.

There's little more that needs to be said, tomorrow i'll probably end up having to face joking remarks like "eh james dun be emo leh".

So just remember to sms me and wish me happy new year and merry christmas in the years to come, be it a personal message or one of those dumb festive jokes.
Let me stay a part of your memory and funny stories that you'll tell to your new friends.

For now, cheers, study hard and I'll seeya later...

House of the Dead-Bread

In the world of the queer and strange, this bakery certainly takes the "cake". Obviously bored with making conventional pastry, they have decided to create works of art using the humble bread.



It is interesting how the same dough in different hands can turn into such gruesome, but lifelike creations. Maybe they're descended from the chinese mythological goddess, Nu Wa.



Finally we can now say with gusto...

"If you don't like it, you can just bite me!!"

Great view!

Went to this place recently....not bad....excellent view!! But drinks a bit ex though. You all can try try....

Deafening Silence

Hair Loss Problem

Well, here is something interesting that i picked up from tv today. While watching a variety show on channel 8, it was brought to my attention that eating warm cake and hot bread actually induces hair loss.. i dun know the reason behind it but this was claimed by a top chef in singapore.. he mentioned that this will cause hair loss..so to ppl out there like kevin, jasen, sio and xueqian( i hope there aint anymore), pls refrain from eating those piping hot bread and cakes...Take care...may ur hair stay with u...longer...WAHAHAHA!!!

something to laugh

well.. something to laugh...

About stolen handphones

Dunno if anyone of you received this email

Take note....Don't take things for granted...It can happen to anyone of us....

A True Story : This lady has changed her habit onthe hand phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her mobile, credit card, purse etc. was stolen.

Twenty minutes later when she called her hubby, telling him what had happened, her hubby says 'I've just received your SMS asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.'

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen handphone to sms 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.

Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Moral of the story: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart,Dad, Mum etc......and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.

Received this email

I received many copies of this emails for the past few days.

Hey guys,
Please forward the below email to the residents. It's from the Hall Presidents, regarding action against triple room sharing. thanks!!

From:XXX


Dear Friends,

Rationale for black-tee idea against implementation of triple room

Once the idea of triple room was being brought upon the student leaders, we began by conducting surveys with students to find out whether the majority are for or against the idea. The results show that the majority even after hearing the school's rationale for implementation, are against the idea of the triple room sharing scheme.

Main reasons are decrease in comfort level (insufficient space in rooms), social issues (difference in culture) and lack of hall amenities (such as toilets, reading room etc). Up till now, the NTU administration has not been able to solve problems that will arise from the implementation of the triple room sharing scheme as stated above as it is not easy to tackle them.

As prospective freshmen are skeptical of the idea of triple sharing, the NTU administration has announced that they are not allocating all triple rooms to freshmen only which means seniors will also be allocated triple rooms.

We have voiced out our concern by showing them statistics and even counter proposing against the idea of triple rooms with the idea of having off-campus accommodation on the basis that off-campus accommodation would not put the students' welfare at stake. We believe that the idea of triple room sharing is something that many would not like to see being implemented.

As student leaders, we have fought and are still fighting for the welfare of our people. We had done all we can by giving constructive feedbacks and suggestions to the NTU administration but all our attempts have been to no avail. With this, the school will be making their final decision on 26th March. Hence, it is necessary to use other avenues to voice out to the school that majority of the student are against the idea of triple room sharing. As such, we have come up with this event, "My Voice" which will be on Tuesday, 25th March. It will be a day for all students to voice out your personal opinions against triple room sharing. We will be appealing to all students to wear black to school and in halls if you are against the triple room sharing scheme.

This is in the hope that after looking at the number of people who are against this idea, we can convince the NTU administration to change their mind for the well-being of the students who are currently living or are considering living in NTU in the future. We appeal to all to voice your opinions through "My Voice" to influence NTU's decision on triple sharing. Together with a common voice and a common cause we can create a better future and most importantly a better tomorrow.



Yours Sincerely,

Hall Presidents' Council


Although I wasn't really fond of triple rooms in halls, and have nothing against staging protest against the idea. But when I received this email, really feel that it is instigating people into following the idea of wearing black on tues, 25th. It does not really leave people with a choice to stay neutral to the problem doesn't it? either u are strongly for or strongly against the idea.

It is sending this message that it is either you wear black against triple room or you wear other colours and people will anti-you.

The school is expected to make a decision on the 26th of March on the issue and the action we take is on 25th of March. I feel that the effort will be like 'Jumping on to the MRT tracks when the train is jus 1min away' Whether the train can stop in time I'll see.

At this time I believe many of our friends are worrying about not being able to get a place in hall next semester, and this contradictory thing is happening asking us to protest against the idea of opening up more spaces in hall.

I certainly do not wish that my friends have to travel 2hrs back and forth from school everyday. And does not wish to see overflowing rubbish bins and toilet bowls from the increased occupancy rates in hall.

Following is my opinion on the pros and cons of triple sharing you can weigh it out yourself:

Pros
1. More of my friends can get to stay in hall.
2. My friends will not need to make tiring journeys from home to school and back.
3. Your friends will restort in getting off campus accomodation, at a fee times higher that of what you pay for hall.
4. Another roomie, another person who can help you with your school work.
5. Another person to keep the room clean.
6. More people involved in hall activities.
7. More block fund.

Cons
1. Our hall amenities cannot support more residents.
2. Inconvinent for people who make out in their rooms.
3. 3 people will quarrel over matters?
4. Room very cramp. Esp in Hall X in Block 50.
5. More underwear stolen.
6. Privacy.

Just my 2cents worth of opinion. Feel free to comment and discuss on this. Apologies if my thread clashes with the idea of people who are so strongly against triple sharing. I just want my fellow friends to have their own opinion on matters, not just wear black because you were told to do so. You still have a choice of whether to wear black ornot.

Vote!

Everybody! Support thomas and norti's dog!

Felicia burial.

alright.. blog has been very quiet lately and its about felicia news. Alright i shall add in 1 last 1 on felicia.. Felicia burial... Yesterday with the help of 5 heroes. we managed to bury felicia at blk 50 grass patch.. How we dig the grass patch? with hammers, and some metal thingy.. and this is how we dug.

Alright.. thanks to xue qian.. the photos look so small.. And finally, we finished digging with a victory sign.

Alright, i felt that i went back to the army again for another round of BMT and Nutcracker. However, this time is without SBO, helmet and also long 4.. But this digging section is just as tired.. See how tired i am...

After digging, we went to collect Felicia body.. Btw, the body has decomposed and it gave out a very strong smell that make me vomited out.. see how smelly it can be

Actually me and terence was struggling with the body for quite some time as we are not able to bring the body up onto the dust pan. So we ask for more ppl for help.. No choice, Terence ask James for help.. And james is like so power la... it just took less than 5 min and the body is thrown into the plastic bag to be carried back to blk 50. Actually we manage to flip felicia to the other side and we saw the big wound on her. din manage to take a photo of that but the wound is near the stomach. And i guess that is the fatal injury. Felicia body is black in colour and the wound is like redish white.. Abit er xin though..

And now Felicia is back in Blk 50 and she is covered with lots of sands and soil.. Thanks terence for all the sand that he has found.

And 1 last step.. make the soil packed together and we left a stone there.. That is tombstone.. I hope felicia can rest in peace now and hope she can bless us.. Thank to those who have helped out in the burial and i also thanks to those who refuse to help out..

The end

Liwei, Kevin, Xue qian, Junzhao, Say heng, Aaron, Serena, Terence, James, Jian ping

Feli, thank you for all the memories you have given us.. Lets hope that in your next life. Dont be a cat anymore.. Even you have to be a cat, dont be a stray cat anymore..

Felicia

Same as Kevin, this is my first post... I dun noe how to describe the sadness i have with the passing on of this special fren... she was still like usual that night, sleeping along the corridor... all seems so well... never expect that was the last time i see her...

Recently, was still quite glad that there will be at least one person (xq) will look after her when we left, but now....

When i came back juz now, i was still hopping to see the usual sight of her seeing me from far and jump down from the shelves and start meowing for food.... its not the same any more... Will miss your meowing in the morning when i woke up, you always seems to noe when i step down from my bed, before i even open my door... will miss your brushing on my leg and how cute your short tail is when it swings....and all the time you have spend outside my room since last semester-2007... Feli, you will always be remembered...

Felicia

well.. im the third to post about the pass on of our special friend.. Sometimes, its when u lost something, then u will start to cherish it. Some time we will like play with her.. meow with her and even splash water at her.. Sometimes, we may not have cherished her enough.. Blaming her for the loud moaning that she has made.

Felicia is just like our blk 50 bond.. The cat that everyone in 50 loves in common, the cat topic that we had. With out her, will our spirit in blk 50 fallen too?

Now, she is gone... leaving behind so many love ones... I still remember when i was staying in level 3 that time.. she came to me and meow for food.. Since its was a cute kitten then.. i have decided to keep her. and feed her with my bread or cat food. almost 2.5 yrs have past.. She has accompany me throughout my hall life.. Sawing her mating with her fellow cat mate, moaning at 5 am in the morning, the giving birth of 4 lovely kitten, the shit she has given me at the grass patch outside my door. All this will be deeply remembered..

Im sorry felicia that i cant be there during the attack.. but i promise, i will remember u deep inside my heart.....

below are some of the pic with her children.. and that all the pic we have on her.. Lets hope.. She can be something good in her next life.. We will miss you

Felicia (Departed on 15 Mar 2008)

This is my first post but it's a very sad one. Being one of the few who witnessed the whole incident makes it very hard to forget abt it. Knowing that the damage was done and seeing her in real pain at that moment, we could onli stand by her side and watched helplessly. Tat kinda of feeling definitely is not good!!

I'm sure ppl like Junzhao, Xueqian and including myself will feel more sad becoz of her presence outside our rooms. It'll be a very weird feeling not to see her hanging out along our corridors anymore.

Anyway, i hope tat ppl in the hall can help to give our beloved friend a proper burial. At least this is the last good thing tat we can give to her rite? Below are some pics tat i took before i shifted out of my room...hope it'll bring back some gd memories to u guys.

The Passing of A Friend

At 4a.m last night, the life of one of hallx50 well-loved resident was abruptly taken from us. Felicia, the black cat that everyone sees lazing outside junzhao's room has passed on. Witnesses such as Kevin and Freddie saw the whole incident unfold in front of their very own eyes. Here is a recall of the whole incident...

Half asleep, fred heard a commotion outside, a mixture of barks and meows. He told kevin, his bunk slut for the night and both went to investigate. They saw Felicia and a brown wild dog locked in their gazes. Suddenly, the dog charged forward and took a chunk of feli's thigh in its mouth and was flinging his food around. Enraged by the actions, fred and kev took a dustpan and threw it down, hoping to scare the intruder away. The plan worked, however all was too late. Felicia was already fighting for her dear life. Their search for mobile vets proved futile. That was when we lost her...

I still remember felicia when she was young. She had followed us up to our block and since then, she has made herself comfortable here. The few of us took care to take care of her, playing with her except for one jek ark kia by the name of jasen who is always disturbing her.. I guess he is the happiest of them all now... fucking cb. We even witnessed felicia giving birth to 4 beautiful kittens which have already been given away. I will never forget how she will brush her head against my legs and how she will purr at me whenever she is hungry.. I was always saying, "die la...once we graduate, no one feed her, she cfm die." well.. i guess she dint make it till den.. :(

You will always be deeply remembered by us Feli...Rest well in heaven... To those that has once made it into Feli's short-lived legacy, pls leave any msgs as comments...

Headline: How can we study with 3in room?
By: LIEW HANQING

SINGAPORE
TRIPLE- SHARE ROOMS IN NTU?
Students mount online protest
THE rooms are so cramped that a loft bed has to be stacked above a study table.

Students at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) gave an earful after they got an eyeful of new triple-sharing “showrooms” set up in the residence halls last week.

Faced with the prospect of possibly having to cram in a room with two other people, NTU students made their views known on popular online forums, video-sharing sites and blogs.

Fast making its rounds is a virtual tour of a triple-sharing room, uploaded onto video-sharing site YouTube by a student who had visited it.

Since it was uploaded on 29 Feb, it has racked up about 2,700 views.

A student even spoofed a popular Chinese pop song, and made a video comparing the new rooms to foreign workers’ quarters.

Another recorded himself knocking his head on the base of the loft bed while standing up from the study table.

And on social networking site Facebook, there is a 685-strong group which calls itself “Say NO to NTU triple-sharing rooms in halls”.

A short write-up on the group’s webpage is telling: “Next semester, we are all going to be like foreign workers, squeezing into small living quarters which is definitely far away from an ideal living-on-campus experience.”

NTU students whom The New Paper spoke to said they had heard about double-sharing rooms being converted to triple-sharing rooms in late January.

OPEN FOR VIEWING
But the prospect became more apparent when hall residents received an e-mail last week notifying them that the triple-sharing showrooms were ready for viewing.

Students said the size of each room is about that of a regular bedroom in a five-room HDB flat.

The New Paper managed to obtain a copy of the e-mail.

It read: “We are pleased to inform you that two triple-sharing showrooms displaying two different room layouts are set up in Hall 13 and Hall 14 respectively and are now ready for viewing.

“Hence, we will like to invite you to personally view the proposed room layout and at the same time receive your input on the preferred room layout.”

However, a spokesman from NTU’s student affairs office said the triple-sharing room concept is “still in the proposal stage and nothing has been confirmed”.

He added the university is still seeking students’ feedback.

Undergraduates now pay between $155 and $190 a month for a twin-sharing room.

It is not known how much they will pay to share a triple room.

NTU has 16 residence halls, which house some 9,200 students. They are located on the university’s Yunnan Garden campus in the Boon Lay area.

More than 80 per cent of NTU hall residents share rooms. At the National University of Singapore’s Kent Ridge campus, more than half of the hall residents live in single rooms.

A standard single room at NUS costs about $300 a month, and a standard twin room, about $200 a month.

NTU and NUS also have air-conditioned rooms which cost more.

FEEDBACK
The New Paper understands that representatives from the NTU student body are meeting with the school administration next week to give their views on the triple-sharing room proposal.

In the meantime, vocal students continue to make their views known.

Second-year undergraduate Liew Shixiong, 23, who is staying in a twin-sharing room, foresees problems with the triple-sharing room concept.

He said: “It’s already very cramped with two people. And having three guys in a room would cause hygiene problems – it’ll get so smelly with all the dirty clothes.”

He added that relations between roommates could be strained with an additional person in the room.

He said: “I know people who have problems getting along with their roommate. With three in the room, there’s the possibility that two could gang up against one.”

He was also concerned that the triple-sharing rooms would not be conducive for studying.

“Most of us staying in the halls do so because we want to study, he said. “Most of us study in our rooms and it’s important to be comfortable.”

Agreeing, third-year undergraduate Emery Ong, 23, said most of his peers stayed in the halls as they are “quiet and conducive for studying”.

Student bloggers from NTU echoed these sentiments.

One wrote: “For a hostel room designed to house two residents, an additional resident will mean hygiene problems, noise, relationship and space issues.

“Please NTU, stop behaving badly and listen to the students. And students of NTU, stand together and protest.”

Another blogger agreed: “Why should I accept poorer living conditions if I am paying good money to live ‘comfortably’? Is it really that difficult to build new halls?”

Blogger Kureshii expressed concern for the cleanliness of common areas.

He wrote: “Have you seen what happens when 20 people share the kitchen sink, toilet and trash bins on the same floor?

“Instant noodles clog up the sink drain, crockery gets left around the hot-water dispenser area, trash bins overflow with spilling drink cans.

“Now imagine 1.5 times of that. Might as well throw in a flu epidemic.”

However, one blogger, The Matrix, was a little more optimistic.

He said the new rooms were “not bad”, and that a triple-sharing living arrangement could be fun, provided the roommates are decent people.

For a hostel room designed to house two residents, an additional resident will
mean hygiene problems, noise, relationship and space issues...

Say no to Triple Sharing

A bunch of creative people created this music video. Enjoy.

insect kingdom!

I'm sure most of you know by now besides being the unofficial bird park, petting zoo and reptile park, 50 is also the unofficial insect kingdom!

A few months ago I was doing work in Kenny's room when suddenly there was a commotion at the toilet area. I then heard my name being called + the frenzied request to bring along my camera. Of course I ran out la. Gotta find out what got these grown men undies in a twist.

I entered the male toilet (2.5th time in my entire life) and came face to face with this:

Chey!! Moth only right? What's the big deal?

Well, in true 50 insect style, this was a BIG deal, literally:



Attempts to show scale:


It's almost as big as JASEN'S face!


It's BIGGER than liwei's hand!!

Behind-the-scenes:


Basically there was a lot of jostling and shouting going on! (you don't see Felix here but he was in the background shouting whenever someone got close to the moth in attempt to make everyone as scared as him haha) It's hard to show scale in photos but this moth is really like papa moth la it was HUUUGE.



ANYWAYS! I was thinking of having the bbq on friday since it's like the popular choice, but realised that it clashed with ONE NIGHT STAND!! Which is totally fun and awesome and everyone should just go go go! Free trip to Kallang Leisure Park which is so super ulu and leh cheh to go by yourself so make use of this great opportunity! Plus its a free-and-easy thing so can go ice skate, bowl, shop at cold storage, eat, watch move, whatever you want!!! Exciting right! After that can go bukit timah for supper! You all were talking about treasuring the remaining bits of hall life right, what better way to celebrate hall life with good friends and great food? So everybody!!!! Go one night stand!! (ONS!)
