NUS my ASS!
ok la.. actually was supposed to blog this earlier... cos was super pissed yesterday.. but since now the thing has been resolved, and I got what I want, so.... less gun powder lor...
Ok we've got this thing called CORS online bidding. We're supposed to bid for modules, lectures and tutorials. So basically we need to bid for our time table (vs NTU where they do it in a first-come-first-serve manner) Yesterday we were supposed to ballot for our tutorials from 9am to 5pm... end up the thing was extended to till today 9am!!!! 24 hrs of bidding...
And do you know why?? Cos the system sucks! Everyone frantically tried to log in.. and no one got logged in~! Imagine a whole meat ball of ants stuck at the bottleneck, all eager to get out of the bottle.... eeek...
I tried to log in from home at 9am (sharp!).. couldn't get in.. and Wongsan our dear computer engineer suggested I go to school to use the LAN.. so being the obedient soldier I am, I went to school...... still cannot.... there must be a problem somewhere......
Lectures ended.. went to the lab to try, still couldnot.... went home tried... still cannot....... after dinner....... ermm.. 9pm bingo~ Wow... took me 12 hrs to register for 1 freaking tutorial class...
They still call themselves world class university?? You mean this is the first time they encounter such things?? Unbelievable. Anyway as a side note, I was reading up on world university ranking the other day, and I realized NUS is in the 120 range..... and within Asia, top 20 (sorry, NTU and ALL the universities in Hong Kong and China are nowhere to be found) something that should be proud of.. but then..... small things do screw up and piss people off.

haha... hey, I suggested that you STARTED in the beginning using the sch network hor... not try at home first...
But anyway, if it was really a server problem, wouldn't have made a difference.

no difference even if i had started in school network.. people said they couldn't go in as well..
Well well.. what more can we say? Over reliance on technology only pisses us off when we don't get what we want.
