Okay, just applied for the hostels. Eusoff, Raffles, Temasek. If i do get my first choice for Raffles Hall which is the "large" single room, it's gonna be a pretty costly room for what the seniors claim to be a minimum usage place.. Oh well.

Now to go take the funny photo for my Form P and send it up to NUS. And i just realised it's for the Student Card. Oh crap. Better make sure the photo doesnt come out looking too hideous.

Here i am worried about not being talented enough for Aki and there i get people telling me "maybe i should've applied there, bet i will do well since i like drawing/designing"
Well, sure you like doing that, but thing is, are you good enough ? I'm so sick of hearing people say how easy/whatever the course is. Gee, and worst thing, most people who tell me how awesomely easy it is draw worst than me.

I'm horrible at clean lines and usually dream too big for myself. But thing is, somehow, there's a side of my brain that is always, always pragmatic. Except for the decision to do Aki.

Still, life's worth a few stumbles doing things you like i suppose. After all, we only live once.

Thank you.

Hey, the TPJC Science move was painful but well, even now i am offered a course i've always been fascinated with. Fascinated and somewhat interested i suppose.

I've a feeling it'll be like the Bio days but worst because this is a hit-or-miss situation. You either have it or you dont. No gray area to work with. Not an easy course with the 50% dropout rate, but then again, i've always survived. 'drew says it's not enough to just merely survive, and true as that might be, God will give me all that i need. Just as He has always given me. Time after time, grace after grace.

Architecture. It's a risk that i'll take. All the best for the SMU student-wannabes tomorrow, you'll have one less competition. (:



Ps. I'm really looking forward to meeting the people at camp. Do leave a note if you've stumbled across the blog ya. (:

Okay, plans for abroad is definitely canceled. Got a ring early in the morning from SMU asking me to head down for an interview for social sciences. Am wondering if i should now. I mean, that IS my first choice and SMU students are pretty much guaranteed a job upon graduation (according to statistics anyways). Not to mention it's closer to home and such.

But thing is, i've almost convinced myself that archi might not be such a bad choice after all. Not to mention, it's highly selective and if you do make it, you're one of the 50 or so local architects out on the market yearly.. And the seniors seem like such nice and helpful people.

Still, thank God for the opportunities given. I doubt i would have gotten anywhere near with my grades otherwise.

Well, guess i can forget about the appeal now. Seems like such a hopeless case.
Now to settle my documents for school instead. Such an intense lack of time. Sigh.

Singpost is soooooooo slow la. I just got my letter today. Sigh. Now this complicates matters even more. Archi here or psych in aust ? I didnt get the shortlisting for the interview, thought it was a sure goner, then here i get this ? And with that disgusting piece i did for Q2 even. And when Alvin (Tan) aka Mr-My-Room-Wall-Is-Totally-Awesome-Looking-Because-I-Painted-The-Mural-Myself didnt. Gah. Shuyun is not in the best of moods now.

First taiji session today. I was and am the youngest at class. But surprisingly, the instructor's assistant's 22 only. Ha.

Turns out they've those block classes too, and the instructor invited me to go along for them tomorrow and next week. Awesomeness. Learnt some 6 moves today. Pretty amusing really. Hurr.

2nd dinner session with Joey's mum just now. I suppose i'm still pretty freaked out everytime i see her. Suppose it's the scary first impression. It must be.

There is a joy in staying home after a long busy work week. Woke up pretty early today thanks to my weak bladder.

But was a good thing though, i spent the time in the morning making myself a nice hot toasted club sandwich. Yum. Then grandma informed me that she got my maid to make barley, which with the sandwich and the rain just made me smile the entire morning.

Used the rest of the day to slack a bit playing some funny online games (bad habit my mum caused) before remembering to check up on some online applications. Anyways, Archi fell through, which wasnt too big a surprise since question 2 was so badly done i felt quite ashamed of it. What DID surprise me though, was seeing a familiar name on the list (Eugene Don).

Also, did up my applications for JCU, UNSW and UQ (more or less anyways) and managed to play with my new brush. What love. (:

Tomorrow's monday. Sigh. Work. Gah. I need a new job.

Then you recall john and his decision to take the leap.

Then you ask yourself, "how could i possibly do any less ?"

Then you mutter to yourself, "God will give you the wings to fly."

Archi aptitude test tomorrow. I find the irony of the situation mildly hilarious. Perspective drawing, or even any other form of drawing, i cannot clearly recall when i last drew anything; sec 3 i suppose.

My mum always seemed to deter me from things i'm interested in. I look back, staring at the strange way my fate seems to criss-cross about. But it wouldnt be fair to blame her i suppose. "I only wanted the best for you." Isnt that what all parents would say ? Cut down a lil of this, minus a lil of that. "Girl, it's for your own good."

Things that i've left behind, seem to have a strange way of creeping back into my life. In odd manners of time and situation. Almost like they never wanted me to let go of them. Yet when they came back, i wonder if it was soon enough, near enough, and close enough for me.


Because something i've learnt all this while: things you've said goodbye to, they can never really come back to you.

2nd day of work. Afternoon shift. Know what's boring ? Working there in the noon's boring. Pantry duty, made merely 2 plates of pasta. Gah. New girl there today, she's rather pretty. Hur.

I've decided to make cupcakes soon. Maybe next week. Shall go swimming tomorrow and sign up for my taijiquan class (stop laughing you pumpkins) at siglap cc this Thursday. I'll be working this Wednesday and Thursday from 12 to 5pm, come visit me if you can ya. (:


Anyways, to the 3A, 3N2 and 3N3 people, all the best for midterms ya. (:

Doomed doomed doomed. Friends have received letters from NUS fass and NTU hss already. Doomed doomed doomed.

Will architecture really be my only hope of studying here ? ):

Ps. I checked around and the worst grades that got accepted in there is CCB. Sigh, think my only chance would lie in an appeal now. Say something if you've got mail people.

It's times like this that one is extremely grateful that Joey does art. He has real pencils at home.


I cant believe i could only locate one stash of real pencils at home. Gosh. I have a bad feeling for SATs tomorrow.


Why am i even worrying for this while i can laugh about A's ? Gah.

Ps. Sorry about the call bit. It really wasnt funny. Didnt mean to make you worry. ):

After a year of so of using the edited template, i came back to using this standard template. Ha. Should really make my move to wordpress soon, i mean, i've got the link all done for about 2 years now..

One thing i never liked about my edited template is the lack of a comments link, and no matter how much i edit it, the comments link wouldnt work. Which annoyed me quite a bit. Oh well. I remember how i always have an urge to edit/change my templates during exam periods. Weirdness.
