Hi A!
Thanks for the prompt reply. I tried to de-register myself but I can't because I can't remember my username and there is only the function to retrieve your password but not your username (which makes it redundant if I can't remember my username). Therefore, i require manual assistance to remove myself from the system.
Perhaps it would be better if the password retrieval prompts you for the email address rather than the username. Should someone wish to request for a deregistration due to repeated email, he would definitely remember his email rather than an obscure username that he used eons ago at his wish and fancy. My apologies for being the 1st culprit; )
Thanks once again for the prompt reply and seeking your assistance in this matter,

Dear registrant,
Thanks for your support and participation since you joined ERSS! Some of you have graduated and asked how to unsubscribe ERSS. You can do either of the following:
1) Click ''Remove me as participant'' on our homepage and then key in your username and password.
2) Send an email to: XXXXX@ntu.edu.sg and put down ''unsubscribe'' on the subject line.

Hi!
I have tried desperately but in vain to unsubscribe from this mailing group for the past semester (A total of 4 attempts). I have since graduated but am still unable to unsubscribe. (Previously, the unsubscribe function at the website required certain details like Login name and password, both of which I do not have the information, and which I highlighted in my email requests to unsubscribe)
Recently, I received an email from your good office offering the invaluable opportunity to unsubscribe from this mailing group (The instructions were to email to NBSAppl@ntu.edu.sg with the title heading "Unsubscribe". Below is the email I sent). I seized the chance like there's no tomorrow. Yet I'm still receiving the relentless "External ERSS Announcement" headings in my mailbox.
I really do not forsee myself partaking in any experimental sessions in the near future and most definitely do not wise to see another dreaded email with the "External ERSS Announcement" title heading. For your information, my personal email account (which I feel has been utterly violated) is a hotmail account and can only sustain 2 meagre megabytes of space.
I understand that this might not be under your jurisdiction and I apologise that you have to bear the brunt of this BUT I do kindly request that somebody (either A or the anonymous NBSAppl) show some pity on my plight and undertake immediate corrective action to remedy my distress.
Thank you.

I would appreciate it greatly if you could email to NBSAppl@ntu.edu.sg regarding the problems you face.

I've already reflected your problem to them hence there is the new unsubscribing function. However the technical details behind it is totally beyond my comprehension.
I hope you'll understand that I too do not wish to see the ever dreaded email headed "remove me from external ERSS". The meager capacity of your email account is another technical aspect which I cannot render any help too. And I totally sympathize with you at been violated by the mails. I sincerely hope that corrective measures will be taken to relieve you of the distress soon.

i'm gg 2 write abt christianity again....& i tink it's gg 2 sound rather offensive 2 many....but it's my opinion & i guess i'm entitled 2 it as much as every1 else is...
last fri went 2 juan's church again...she invited my gang cos there was a visiting rev fr new zealand or something, & he specialises in deliverance...so, as e ever curious me went....initially it was e usu singing & e announcements...then e rev went up. he started talking & then he said tt he cld feel things & tt he 1ed 2 get rid o e spirits in pple or something like tt....then he put out his hand in 1 direction & said tt there is some1 (amongst e at least 100 pple) who had nightmares & can't sleep at nite...duh duh duh!!!!! then he stretched out his arm in another direction & said there is some1 (again amongst at least 100 pple) who had a bad past relationship & can't let go...duh duh duh...duh 2 infinite!!!!!i cld do tt 2!!!! i cld juz stretch out my arm now & go 2 e canteen & say tt i sense some1 in there who had a family quarrel last nite!!!! duh duh duh.....he said something else everytime he turned a different way....then he asked e pple who felt wat he described 2 step out, o cos pple did stepped out....all o them ard 5 or 6 o them were standing in a line in front. then e rev started 2 mumble something, then placing his rite hand on e person's forehead, e other hand like some wu xia pian, did some shen gong & yun qi on e person's tummy/chest area, then e person juz collapsed....duh duh duh.....he did these 4 all e rest, & then 1 o e lady amongst them when she collapsed, started screaming & crying terribly....e rev say she was fighting e spirit or something like tt....looking at all these, i wasn't in awe, all i was tinking o was how dumb tis whole thing was....i was waiting 2 c more entertainment.... i tot e chinese taoist performance (whenever they had all these qing shen thing..)was infinitely more realistic & more entertaining....
after tt mini-performance, e rev started 2 share e gospel, & talked abt some things fr e bible...i was pretty tired tt day after a whole day o survey, i did pay attention but sometimes i juz difted off.....then he talked abt how he tot god betrayed him when his daughter got raped....i was tinking 2 myself y do all these pple who preach & stuff always have such traumatic experiences....mayb it's god's way o making them stronger & 2 let them experience things so tt they can better relate 2 others.....but everytime i hear all these sad stories, i feel sorry 4 them but i also discount their stories somewhat....
i know i'm a real sceptic....but i can't help it sometimes.....
after a long long talk, e rev again asked pple who felt they needed deliverance 2 come 2 e front so tt he can help them....lotsa lotsa o pple came fwd!!!! then e rev went round 2 do his shen gong.....(swing a pity u went off early, u miss e highlight o e nite!!!) i was pretty amused by e whole thing but i didn't laugh out loud la....i dun 1 2 b like in e movies, get mobbed by e thousands o christians there....i 1ed very much 2 go 2 e front 2 've a 1st hand feel o wat e rev was doing but i tot it was a rather big disrespect 2 juan who brought me there...or mayb sub-consciously i was afraid tt e rev might really have e power???? anywayz, after e whole thing, juan said i shld go 2 e front 4 me 2 experience....she even suggested tt i go again on sun since she''ll b there.... i actually contemplated on it but i was 2 damned lazy 2 wake up so early on sun morning....
after tis deliverance experience, i really gave christianity a much much bigger discount.....i dun know if it's cos o e church tt i went 2....a lot o fellow christians also denounce e city harvest church...mayb it's really cos o e chuch....anywayz, i believe in wat i 1 2 believe in, mayb 1 day i c more clearly regarding christianity....
snow & jancy, i wld love 2 have a religious discussion some day!!! snow e christian expert & jancy e buddhist & me e sceptic!!! interesting!!!! i can almost c e mental sparring gg on.....any1 else interested 2 join our mini-forum???? let's make a date 4 tis exciting event!!!!

jian gui???
my mum was asking me tis morning y do pple sometimes c shadows out o e corner o their eyes....she went 2 a relative's funeral ytd. apparently, e relative had been seeing shadows very frequently & she jumped 2 her death on mon.....her husband had asked her 2 c e doc if she's not feeling well. on tt fateful day, her husband as usu went 2 work. at ard 9, she jumped fr e 10th floor o her blk....e husband wasn't contacted until ard 8 later in e day cos she didn't carry any identifications wif her. she didn't die on e spot, but passed away when she was sent 2 nuh....very sad rite??? i guess she had depression & there was no1 she cld talked 2.....she didn't worked, & she's all alone when her husband works....she's e type who doesn't like 2 associate wif pple...i've never seen her b4 actually.....her husband is my father's cousin. my dad visits his aunt (e husband's mum) once a yr during CNY. they used 2 stay 2gether but e wife 1ed 2 move cos my dad's aunt has some mental problem (fr my observation i presume it is schizophrenia)....my sis went 2 visit once during CNY & e wife juz locks herself in e room....i guess she was pre-disposed 2 depression becos o her personality....i dunno....but i told my mum tt seeing shadows does not equate 2 seeing ghost .....i'm gg 2 do some research on these phenomenon...there must b some scientific explanation....i believe a lot o pple have e experience o seeing shadows out o e corner o our eyes....i'll do a check.....any1 knows any reason 4 tt???
interviews....
2 days juz passed w/o my realising....haven posted any thng these 2 days cos i had some interviews 2 go 4 . here's an update on e 2 days...
On Monday, I took half a day off 2 go 4 my 1st rd o interview at Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI). After gg thro’ e interview, I had 2 sit 4 a written test. at e very 1st look at e test paper i tot o giving up....There r 3 qns. 1st qn was:
wat did SCCCI do (I dunno, juz bullshit loh…) the asked wat e research & publication section (which I m applying 4) does in e overall operation o SCCCI (again I dun know & bullshitted…). As usu there was e qn o how can I contribute 2 SCCCI (o cos as u’ve guess, I bullshit again loh…)
2nd qn: translate a Chinese passage into English (still ok, juz some buz terms I dun know, then use direct translation….)
3rd qn: translate an English passage into Chinese (tis I had tremendous problem!!! All my Chinese words all return 2 teacher oredi, then still have 2 use all e buz terms….so I went 2 their resource lib & borrowed a dictionary….there was another applicant in e room & he was writing at super speed on qn 3, his Chinese must b really power!!! When I was ¾ way thro’, e HR lady then told me tt I’m not supposed to use dictionary so as 2 b fair….but wat can I do, I oredi used…so I noted in my paper tt I used the dictionary loh…then I had 2 wait 2 c if I get 2 e 2nd rd o interview…..& guess wta I made it thro’….& had 2 go 4 e 2nd interview on tue.
On tue, had e interview 4 SCCCI & e Singapore Children’s Society (SCS). E former is in e morning the latter in e evening…so I took e day off ytd…the interview at SCCCI didn’t go very well….e secretary-general o SCCCI asked me e latest news in s’pore, so I said e new PM loh, then he asked wat I tink abt lee hsien long…how e hell m I supposed 2 know…then I say he has been in e govt svc 4 so long & he hasn’t made any fatal mistakes….then he said he actually did make a mistake, he asked me if I knew wat…so I tot mayb it’s e Taiwan trip tt he made…then he asked me e implication & y china reacted so violently….i dun know la…so again bullshit but dun know wat I said…bad……took only 15mins 4 e interview…
At e SCS, 1 o e interviewer was 1 o e x-lecturer fr nus I also know him but I didn’t take any modules under him…I also bullshit a little here cos I was a little nervous…but they (3 o them) were a nicer bunch o pple than SCCCI (also 3 interviewers)….while I was waiting 4 my interview, I cld hear e earlier applicant & interviewers laughing & I guess they had a rather long interview cos I was early, 15mins earlier, then e applicant oredi inside, & he came out at least 20mins after I arrived….e SCS interview also took me less than 15 mins....haizzzz no hope oredi.....
Both also say they’ll inform me o e outcome at e end o e week….now not much mood 2 work actually….

however whenever i go 4 my other activities, such as tkd & dragonboat, i dun get tt feeling, mayb it's cos e pple there r much older (in terms o physical age)...but i guess it has more 2 do wif e spirit tt all o them have....they r always so young at heart & ever so energertic! i guess e word old is really very relative. if u feel young then u will! so i must tink more +vely!!! but whenever i'm ard these students, i juz cannot help but tink how carefree they r ( i dun deny tt there r always e exams 2 torment school lives...)
anywayz, i really excited rite now, cos o ytd's gd gd gd news!!!! ytd at dragonboat, a lot o pple didn't turn up cos a lot o them hurt....only 5 pple turned up, & we had a chance 2 learn new stuff!!!! i learn how 2 cox!!!! although still a bit clumsy & totally directionless sometimes but i really had a great time!!! & o cos now aching cos only 4 pple rowing ytd....e very very very gd news is tt we have a national day getaway 2 tioman!!!! it's a sort o training trip & i tink haiyen's gg 2 b e muo gui (devil) instructor!!!! i bet there'll b tons o swimming in e sea, abseiling, climbing..etc etc....but i know i'm gg 2 enjoy it!!!! i'm oredi so looking fwd to it!!!!had always 1ed 2 go grab some sun, sand & sea (triple s) (quoted fr haiyen) now i finally get a chance!!! yeah yeah yeah!!!!

religion....
i juz had a shower after catching "i,robot".....i'm actually pretty stoned right now but i dun 1 2 lose tis feeling o writing......
went 2 juan's church.....actually i went cos i was pretty curious abt wat they actually do in churches....another thing was i was pretty interested in knowing more abt wat e bible says......
as i was at e svc.....i keep wondering y pple do wat they do in churches...have they really accepted christ as their savior as they so say......wat does it mean by tt??i still can't figure it out.....i dun know...i've always have an adversion towards churches & e christian/catholic faith....i dun mean any offense but i always feel kind o uncomfortable.....they always seem a little 2 friendly.....y dun i seen such friendlyness outside???? y dun i c more compassion????
i seriously need pple 2 enlighten me on tis.....y must we accept christ before we can b saved???? is god such a petty little being???mayb it's cos i've never really took e effort 2 know more abt tis religion, tt i know so little & have such prejudiced views......
god created all o us.....n i assume he created everything including e gd & e bad.....there was once when tis gal in nus fr e christian mission or something, came up 2 me 2 do a survey. she was talking abt e christian faith & invited me 2 share wif her wat i tot o it & whether i believe in god......i believe in god, yes i do & i tink he/she is all mighty & he/she has everything planned. i believe tt everythng happens 4 a purpose. so e gd or e bad happens cos god put them there. so there r rape cases, robbery, war....etc gg ard....r these e works o devil? no i dun tink so cos i believe devil was also created by god & put amongst everything else he created 4 a reason.....
there was once when a bunch o my closest friends where discussing abt religion...there was only 1 christian friend among us then. we bombarded her wif a lot o qns & i guess we were pretty much mean 2 her....however, mayb it was e lack o knowledge tt she cldn't answer our qns (or we were juz plain mean anywayz)....she said tt all e other gods tt e other religions have r juz e manipulation by e devil & there is only 1 true god.....& tt was e 1 they worship in e christian faith.....i was totally offended then! i believe tt my idea o god is not some1 who is so petty & so weak as 2 b manipulated/puppeted by devil! i believe god created devil 2, & i believe tt e different gods tt pple worship r juz e different sides o e same god.....juz as all e pple tt god created r different, god has 2 appear in different forms 2 get pple 2 b wat they r meant 2 b......4 eg, if god was 2 appear, as e jesus tt is personifed in movies, to an indian who has never seen some1 who is o a different race/color, wldn't he b scared out o his wits???
actually i've tot abt quite a bit while i was in e showers but now i'mseriously very stoned & my brain is becoming a numb again.....i dun remember wati 1ed 2 write & i seriously need 2 sleep!
ok, i remember wat i was tinking juz now in e showers....i accidentally clicked on something when i was surfing on e web at work ytd, & out popped my horoscope forecast 4 ytd....it said something along e line tt i was gg 2 b on a new & strange journey & tt i shld embrace wat i'll b gg thro'......so i was tinking abt tis forecast & e svc i attended.....i was trying 2 get in touch wif e spiritual side which i had neglected 4 very long.....& i'm writing now so tt i can verbalize my tots....was e forecast talking abt e svc???? was tis e new & strange grd tt i was stepping into? was my inner self trying 2 wake myself up????shoot....my brain is so numb tt i dun really know wat i'm typing actually......
another tot on my mind.....if i were 2 die tis very min, wat wld b e last thing on my min??? wld any1 wept 4 me???? have i done anything tt i regretted????? i've no ans 2 all 3 qns until e moment i die.....nothing is definite in tis world, but 1 thing is positive unless until tis very moment in time, every1 wld eventually die.....y r pple so afraid o e very thing tt u know will happen? mayb it's cos o e unpredictablity o death, u never know when it wld come but u know it'll definitely come....again i dun know wat i'm blabbling abt........
anywayz, my ending words b4 i put my numb brain on e pillow is tt i hope i'll eventually know y my brain keeps gg numb...(no juz joking....) actually dun know wat i'm gg2 write next anyway.....inconherent stuff again...random tots.....concussed brain.....

Sagittarius
Turn ons
Sagittarius is basically a happy go lucky kind. You can enjoy with their zest and enthusiasm in life. They can bubble with excitement that can be tangible at times. And if you share same interests and hobbies then life can be great fun together. They are frank and straightforward so if you want some truthful opinion about anything or anyone goes to them. Be optimistic as they are and view life as glass half full.
Turn offs
Sagittarius is fiercely independent and cannot tolerate restriction hence do not try to hold them back in life. Let them enjoy their freedom because if you hold any special place in their heart they will always come back for you. Do not feel irritated by the exaggeration in their speech. They may go on and on talking about certain things that may not even interest you but it is their way of trying to communicate with you. They are basically frank and outspoken (to the point of being rude) so do not feel offended by their talks.
Does your name begin with: A
U are not particularly romantic, but you are interested in action.You mean business. With you, what you see is what you get.You have no patience for flirting and can't be bothered with someone who is trying to be coy, cute, demure, and subtly enticing. You are an up-front person. You often don't get hints & you ever pass any. Brains turn you on. You must feel that your partner is! intellectually stimulating, otherwise you will find it difficult to sustain the relationship. You require loving, cuddling, wining, and dining to know that you're being appreciated. Your mate's physical attractiveness is important for you. You tend to be very Practical, & not very emotional Your choices are very good & can only lead to trouble. You are very self satisfied & egoistic.
Accurate enough description o me?????
