Every semester, without fail, students of SP will particpate in a prestigious event which pushes their grit, concentration and endurance to their limit. This event requires nothing at all except a computer with an Internet connection. And of course, it needs no preparation unless you consider double-checking that your PC has been connected to the power socket as a preparation.

That, my friends, I have nothing to say.

Introducing, 'ChooseyourGEMsandmakesurethatyouchoseitright
becauseyou'regonnatakeitforonewholesemester Day'.

Background info: GEMs is a module you take outside of whatever you study in so as to let you explore the inner interests in you and develop them further, helping you to nurture into a better student-one of SP's main aim when a student joins this school.

It sounds profound, but seriously your main aim is either to slack or to really, really to slack. And students generally prefer the latter.

The rule of the event?
Fastest fingers first.

The objective?
To choose the GEMs of your choice.

Reward?
Instant euphoria or a semester-long sadness.


Frankly speaking I find it stupid. 'cause I find myself like an idiot sitting in front of the PC and in kan chiong mode, waiting for the clock to strike 4pm. (You're given a certain time to register for your GEMs, you see.) When it finally does, I need to hurriedly type in the module of my choice and choose the class that I want. After which, the whole process is over and your registration for GEMs is complete.

But it doesn't sound as easy as it does!!!

Seats are limited and I swear, they would be snapped up within the first 30 seconds. After which you'd be left with those 'kanasai' modules which you have no choice but to register for them 'cause GEMs is compulsory for everyone!

I actually shouted "CHIONG AHHHH!!!!" when the clock strikes 4. I hope my neighbours can understand the labour that I am going through then. And thanks to your kind understanding, I got into the GEMs module of my choice, 'Maths games and puzzle'. Together with two of my classmates. =D

There were 3 seats left and Kyun got the first of the 3 just because she did a 'cheat code'. She play cheat! Referee kayu ah! =p


That girl, I'm just enlightened by the fact that she's not a Minah. That's all...
Shall we go to Yishun Stadium more often? Perhaps become an ardent supporter of Sporting Afrique. =) Shall we?
