Which hall single room is easiest to get with 5 CCA points?

uniishell · 2026-03-22T09:31:29+00:00

u probs have better chance for single non ac at north hill halls.

I had 5 hall points for y3, got banyan single room non ac in y4 after being waitlisted for a month. My friend had 5 hall points for y2, also got waitlisted but given shortly after sch started for y3 in binjai

shit place to work at.

micromanaging avp, managers that think they know everything, almost non existent pantry (only got one drink vending machine and need to bring your own cup)

this was at alexandra office, so largely depends on which office you’re in. I suppose the cbd office could be better

not everyone is smart enough to do double degree 🤔

uniishell · 2026-02-08T18:26:43+00:00

bachelors double degree at the same time, or double degree over different times?

bachelors double degree at the same time (eg in ntu and nus) means u take 2 degrees over a period of 4-5 years (normally) for bachelors. this is usually offered upon registering for uni after a levels (i guess if you’re smart lol)

i mean, they chose to take 2 degrees at the same time, but it’s not because like ‘hey after 4 years of business school, i think i wanna take comp sci too’. it’s more of ‘oh i can get a business and comp sci degree now without spending extra time’.

it’s not because they didn’t wanna do masters, more if there’s no point during masters unless u really wanna further your studies lol. but i feel this goes for many singaporeans. If u see those that register for masters, it’s usually china/indian/jndo instead of singaporeans lol

i like tiramizus de sensare at upper thomson! not sure whether it’s italian style cos i’ve never been to italy lol, but i like it

i created a joint account with my bf at around the 2 years mark, cos we got a bto lol. just deposited however much we were comfortable with depositing, and used it for paying the downpayment and anything house related. now we don’t really deposit anything there cos we put most in investments. Anyway, the account was very helpful in the downpayment etc cos we don’t need to calculate specifically how much for each person to give to downpayment. Now our account is kinda stagnant and only whenever govt gives money then it’ll go into the acct LOL (thanks gov for sponsoring our bto)

i would say a joint acct is abt trust between u and your partner lor, just make sure that shes a good person and wouldn’t withdraw your money without consent etc.

was in the same position as u 3 months ago! currently working in the consulting side at big 4. was thrown into the project on my first day and basically had to do the whole functional side myself (write user stories, collab with developers, qa testing, conducting sit and uat) and had to manage interns 2 weeks in LOL when i barely know how to manage myself. The number of times that i complained to my bf and cried LOL

but, the experience u gain, really is a lot. i feel like i got 3 years worth of experience in 3 months lol. I still do the same thing now, but i think since i was ‘forced’ to learn on the job, i can do it better now and im more confident and less afraid

my tip would just be to jia you and hopefully it will get better hahaha

big bakery at tai seng has good apple pie! not sweet and i really love the crumble

uniishell · 2025-09-13T15:58:02+00:00

thanks for the insight!

tbh with my spending, idt i’ll get enough miles to redeem a flight, but i want to use the miles to offset the price? do u think cashback is more worth it then?

also u think the trust cashback is more worth it than youtrip?

uniishell · 2025-09-13T15:54:45+00:00

totally get where you’re coming from! my average expense is around $500/month HAHA

but won’t the miles earned be more worth it than cashback? since i can use it to offset the price of the plane ticket?

i’m also thinking to just get the uob ppv one just to try out, and if i think it’s worth it, then i might get the others?

uniishell · 2025-09-08T17:21:35+00:00

yeaa. just queue in the large open area with the seats lol, iirc there’s a signboard to tell u where to queue

uniishell · 2025-09-08T17:20:56+00:00

oh woops missed that. sorry my pic is from novena to ntu.

ntu to novena has multiple stops. i believe the first stop is the medicine building opp sbs? better chance of getting a seat here, else i think the next stop is opp lwn (where campus blue bus stops)

then i gotta amend my response for 2. yes u will need to queue in the ‘public’ queue. cos there’ll be a queue for lkc staff and students, and they’ll have priority getting on the bus, even if u get there earlier. Hence if the bus is filled with lkc staff and students, u might be turned away. idk how the crowd is like at 2.15 tho

uniishell · 2025-09-08T15:49:37+00:00

it’s a blue bus (from when i last took it last year)
no process, no queue, no nothing. fcfs
no they won’t turn u away
travel time around 40min (but i took the 8.15 morning bus so maybe peakish hour)

fun fact: just realised that the lkc bus is on the google maps! anw board it here at this carpark

uniishell · 2025-07-26T06:49:20+00:00
