STARS War

BiAnnual war for courses.

Tips & Things to rmb (notes for myself):
- Use google chrome. (for intu at least) (EDIT: 2018: USE FIREFOX? chrome doesn't work now)
- Use autofill passwords to save time in case of situations
- Use STARS planner - Plan 1 ) Core mods only , Plan 2) electives, mods etcs
- Click the "Submit to STARS" button on planner to check your system time and double check your registration date. (Alt way to check your date other than going through the admin link in Studentlink)

- Close the planner tab until the minute before your STAR WARS time. (so you won't suffer with having to relogin after the page expires.)
- Your page WILL expire.
- IT WILL. 

- Don't use "refresh" "f5" when the page expires - so far I don't think it works, friends have told me it doesnt work, etc
- Close tab and reopen planner from intu page (Autofill passwords to the rescue)
- CONFIRM your core mods

- then slowly, add in your electives. NO NEED TO RUSH
- Electives are not first come first serve, rather they are a waitlist that is then later allocated by the system randomly. (Seniors more priority though)
- have at least 3 elective options. 5 best.

UPDATE FROM AY3S1: content from bs2004 proves to be very very useful foundation for many future mods.  - like PTM and apoptosis.

Just.

I want to be able. To bake bread.
Bread that I can give my grandfather. Bread that my grandfather will like.
And I'm aiming to do that.
He and I share this love of bread and biscuits. It's something I have left. 

(sorry, personal post.)

AGA workshop in SG (@NUS utown)

I was real lucky to have been given the chance to attend a workshop by AGA, who is a locking legend.
It was really hard to (still is) separate upper body and lower body, and then after that focus on keeping up with the song, keeping in tune/in flow with the music, and also being aware of your cleanliness, your groove.
AGA also imparted a lot of really enlightening info, especially about music, about ways to train.
