That day, bro drove me to Serangoon Broadway to collect my robe for SP graduation, we came across many family photos framed up on the wall..
I asked my bro whether he would want to take a family photo at the studio some day,
he replied yes, saying that it would be great to take one after both of us graduated in University, wearing our Uni robes and took with mum and dad.
I had the same thinking too..Bro's degree is left with 3 more yrs and mine is also 3 years as well (coz of the direct entry), therefore we will be graduating at the same year.
However, i have this fear in me, some thoughts that i will drop out of Uni..Engineering Degree is not an easy course afterall, its definitely not like poly...
**In poly, you can play all day and not revise your work after school..yet you still can score fairly well overall if mug a week before exams..
**In Uni, the students mug themselves crazily day and night..some cant handle the stress and drop out.
I duno why i am stressing myself now...i haven't even start Uni and i have this crazy thought already.
If i drop out, i will waste my time and my parents' money..i will disappoint those with high hopes in me..
Friends will eventually look down on me, even though they dun say it but they will have this thought somehow..(**i dun mean base on eduation status, i meant giving up halfway..)And this simple dream of both bro and me wearing Uni robes for the family photo will not come true.
Some people might think, " so what if you are a Uni grad? there are many Uni grads nowadays and they have a hard time finding jobs as well.."
True in a way, but afterall eduation is very important..
I remembered my lecturer and I were having a drink one day and he told me, get a Degree no matter what..
If your boss would want to promote someone..seeing that both people has the same potential but one of them is a degree grad, he would promote the degree grad instead...
yea, i guessed that stupid piece of paper does count somehow..
I remembered when i was in pri 3, my family went to Thailand for a vacation. One of the places we went was this magnificent buddhist temple. At a point in front of this GIGANTIC buddha statue, people can collect a bowl of coins and drop them in this row of golden plates one by one. If the coins u received is equivalent to the number of plates, you'll be granted a wish, and i got mine in the end..( pls dun laugh at me saying that i'm superstitious because i believe most of you made a wish before cutting ur birthday cakes hor!! lol.. )
Mum asked me what did i prayed for and i told her i wanted to go to a University. I could see my parents were delighted that i have such a thought..i didn't make this wish just to please them but it has been something i wanted since young..
Now that i think back, i should have wished that i can successfully graduate from University instead..LOL
I can't stop myself for being so pessimistic..maybe because i don't want to be this 'big talk but no outcome' person for i've seen many, and i'm one myself in the past actually..haha!
Anyway, i'll try my best since it will be my last chance...

Congratulations! The University Admission Selection Committee has approved your application for admission to
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to study in the following course in academic year 2007-08, which
commences on 6 August 2007:
Electrical & Electronic Engineering
(Direct Entry to Second Year)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woo! Finally i've met my goal to enter a local university after poly..*cheers*
Now the next important goal is, i must complete this degree and if i were able to cope den maybe aim for a second upper? hmm..i duno, Second Upper Degree sounds tough to me..but i heard anything less than second upper will be just a normal degree..aargh =< i HEARD its drop out rate is higher as well, since it has a very high intake of engineering students, the school doesn't really care about failing them.
Anyway, really looking forward to Uni-life.. and maybe living in the hostel with Lx and experience some independence~~
This would be my last stage as a full-time student, i must really treasure my schooling days now =)
BYE!

Just got back from the SMU interview and i can jolly well kiss goodbye to the course, haha. It doesn't really matter coz i don't have high hopes of entering School of Econs anyway.
The interview itself was done in a group of 5 by 2 professors. I was the only person from polytechnic while the rest are from jcs, the only guy in the group is even from Hwa Chong Jc..argh!! Of coz, he easily impressed the professors but i felt that he kinda overdo it..simply yanking and yanking away as though he is making a speech.
I didn't have any confident for all the questions except for the self introduction..heh~
Oh well, at least i did give it a try and went for the interview. Anyway, the scenery from each and every classrooms is excellent! i love the place man~~! unfortunately i wun get to study there..haha..~
gotta get some sleep..ciao!

I just received a call from SMU yesterday afternoon for an interview by the Department of Economics on the coming Wednesday. I was puzzled, i didn't expect any calls from them becoz...
i filled up the application form online..just 'for fun'
i did not submit any of my documents, not even making any payments before the deadline. Now, i made it for their interview.. huh?
Of coz that doesn't mean i have a high chance of entering SMU~ perhaps many students received phone calls from them as well..
or maybe that's how they earn money by asking more students for interview and make them pay the application fees..Hahaha...just kidding.
Seriously i did not have high hopes for entering the course..
Economics..c'mon, i know SHIT about it.
What's more, i might embarrassed myself during the interview..
Then again, no response from NTU or NUS yet..Not even ppl i know of who received above 3.7 for their GPA.
Hopefully everyone will get a response from them this month.
A rejection or acceptance letter, i don't care! i just need a reply~~!!!

The reason why i never blog about this incident between both of us was because we were once young and childish where things gotten quite nasty afterwards. Initially i thought that as we grow older, we will become more understanding and matured that we will look back at our past and laugh at our sillyness.Unfortunately, things ain't as simple as i thought it would be. Yes, i admit i still have doubts about you but above all, there isn't any hatred in me. I wonder what was the purpose of you writing this several times on how victimized you were. I was a victim as well. Overall, i believed that you have blamed the wrong person regarding this whole incident because the real culprit walk away happily leaving the 2 of us miserable and hurt.Btw, he did apologised once to me a few months back..i laughed and told him that we were childish at those times, what's more important is we should never repeat the mistakes we made and should put these unpleasant memories behind us. Back to you, why couldn't you do the same way instead of writing all these??Regarding those 'Sec sch friends' you mention, the ones who splattered nonsense and causing more misunderstandings between us, i have a few names in mind..i know who are the ones but for now i shall not persuade this matter. If you choosed to believe in them, i have no choice coz i wasn't close to you now compared to those ppl. As for these friends(?), i would say i'm quite disappointed that this kinda problems still exist..just grow up shall we?Lastly, I do hope to get a response from the email i sent you. Whether or not its a gd reply, i have no regrets for i've made myself clear.
