the crazy graduating batch + jamx

there's a really huge glitch in nus system and it's causing great distress to us year ones. knowing that it will be their last semester, the graduating batch need not save bid points anymore and that explains the exhorbitant amount of bid points they throw in the split-second bidding opens. over 1700 for introduction to computing and over 1500 for science of music 30 minutes into bidding. it is during these phases that the minimum bid points increase like a stroke patient's blood pressure before he gets an attack and if this carries on, i might very well be talking about myself. i read with no interest an email forwarded to everyone about the discussion on cors improvements and i thought one suggestion was feasible, which is to start afresh for everyone every semester but jolin also mentioned, if that's the case, everyone would just throw all their points down in one semester. so i thought again, my vision is actually pretty myopic (why else do you think i need lenses?).
i got a sudden urge to sign up with jamx this year. no doubt we won't win, especially with paul's band taking part and the many technically inclined people from various institutions and non-institutions alike but it would be a great experience. everyone agreed but my only concern is, what cover would we write for the finals? for sure we are going to deal with the same original now that we don't have enough time to do another one. it's probably just fine to fill in any cover song. afterall, we might not even play it. but since we're expecting not to play it, i'm thinking of writing argentina, holiday song, or even smelly cat all by my favourite 'singer-songwriter', phoebe buffay. haha... now that'd be interesting. though i'd really prefer the former 2 over smelly cat. the lyrics are amazingly... weird. oh i just realised argentina probably won't go through because of the 'violent' content:
and there's a country called argentina
it's a place i've never seen
but i'm told for 50 pesos
you can buy a human spleen
human spleen
if you think that's crude enough to meet the scissors, you really ought to check out others and you'll see what is meant by explicit content on television sitcom. no wonder the parents were complaining. ok that does it, i've decided on holiday song. phoebe buffay rocks! anyone care to join my phoebe buffay tribute band?
