i’m sure many have heard about the triple-room sharing in ntu hostels. it was an idea brought up by the school authorities. and it didn’t come across as a very good idea among the student body. naturlich.
and many groups protested against it. apparently the SU, which is the supposed "official" student voice, did not really play a part in the protest and it was left to hall committees and student leaders of clubs. and guess what? they’re really not gonna implement it anymore!!
wow. this is the first time i actually experience first-hand, authorities listening to the student body and letting us have a say. doesn’t really happen much in this country anyway. looks like when singaporeans are passionate about something that would affect them dearly, they would go all out. perhaps this is our future? it’s always abt finding that common ground, and not plainly saying, "let’s just grind and bear it." i wonder how long we can grind and bear stuff for…
anyway, triple-room doesn’t affect me since i’m graduating. nevertheless i still wore a black t-shirt today. come on, black is such a .. common/neutral colour. my roommate unknowingly wore black today too. when i asked her if it was because of the hall thing, she totally didn’t realise she was wearing black.
i think if i have to share the room with another roommate, it’s not a problem for me. the problem, rather, would be for them having to live with someone like me. (^.^)
