LOOK.

I GOT INTO TP~!!!

MUDHAHAHAHHA

be thrilled for me, people.

=D

I'm back from the 2nd Game Trial! it was funnnnnnnnnn.



Btw for those who don't know yet, we got Alfie's fur entirely shaved off.

looks totally different doesn't he. he's spacing straight into the camera! SUPER ADORABLE!!

I had the best dream ever! I dreamt (again) that I went to Switzerland with my cousin, michelle. AND IT FELT SO REAL AND NICE. I dreamt that it was so cooling over on the Swiss side, and I just felt the typical I'm-in-the-holiday-mood. I even dreamt that I smsed my station IC for SP's camp to inform him that I'm not turning up for game trial. So in my dream I brought along with me, my bag that I packed for the game trial. Where the clothes were all loose, big tops and shorts. So when I got to Switzerland I was flustering over myself not having nice clothes to wear. LOL.

When I got woken up by my alarm, I was like: HOLY SHIT i've still gotta go for camp. o_O

And the previous night after I got back I cried and cried in my sleep. Over what matter you may ask- I dreamt that I had no money. I was sitting with my friends- i think samantha and gang. And they kept pestering me to pay them money then all of a sudden I broke into tears and wept and wept. cos I was dead broke (which is true) and had no means of paying for anything at all. If I'm not wrong I rubbed my eyes and it felt wet. I'm guessin I really did cry. I have always felt terrible about myself not having money, I guess it got expressed through to my dream or somethin.

TP shortlisted for me an interview to its course; Communications and Media Management. PHEW. I better not screw up this time. Screwed NP's interview pretty badly.

I find myself rehearsing my stupid 'speech' i prepared for the interview everyday when I wake up and every night before I go to bed.

o_O

I'm hopeless!

Learning

Its never too late to learn. Or rather, there's absolutely nothing wrong with taking your education further. I know of a french guy who's most probably in his mid thirties (judging from the first and ever time I've seen him) who has worked his guts off to attain a PhD i think, so that he is now a successful lawyer. No doubt he earns enough. But the only problem with the job is, its too tiring for him. He settles it quickly- he quit his job as a lawyer and flew to S'pore to take up a degree in Banking & Finance. He is now studying full-time. Admiration deserved? Yes indeed. He literally stepped out of his safe-zone; a job that secured him of a stable income and chose to change his profession.
That's just one thing that a Singaporean would NEVER do. To quote a friend: in the States lets say, when someone says he wishes to change his profession, people would reply: go for it! But back in Singapore, if you say you're intending to change your job, everyone would retort, 'you siao ar?' Thats Singapore for you. To begin with, we started our lives on a tiny island, almost like we're all surviving happily on a ring -shaped life bouy. We have been confined to a safe-zone, and brought up in the most kiasu scenario. With that, we do not take risks. We're afraid to take chances.
Which brings me to how rigid Singapore's education system is. I'm pretty sure I've blogged about this before though. We're made to choose our life's pathway at a mere age of 12, where we sat for our PSLE. If we had wanted to be a doctor, we'd have to work dilligently to get into a science stream and not just that, a class which offers triple science. Do you think we know what we want to be at an age of 11? At the tender age of 11, instead of rushing home after school to work on that science assignment, we're most likely to rush home to sit infront of the computer trying out the new game series of Pokemon. we were still chewing on ice popsicles or playing hopscotch each day after class without fail. Would his/her parents know yet, what course in poly/uni and job would best suit their child in future?

No.

Despite that, the education system in Sg is such. Once we (students) have a change in mind for our career path and wish to have a change in course, our chance of getting into the new course is immediately lowered. We're no longer allowed to apply for the course the usual way. Instead we're made to go through interviews, grilled by snide and skeptical remarks by the lecturers at school. Polytechnic, that is. I don't understand WHY we're deemed as pieces of junk, unwanted and thrown around after we've made a change in our career paths. And its really unfair. I don't see the same thing happening in other countries' universities like Australia's. In Melbourne, they allow students to do a course transfer even in their third year, and even allow credit points transfer! Thats because they don't expect their students to know exactly, what they want to be in future. Isn't that the right way? Its so much more understanding and HUMANE. The crude response and attitude I received from the polytechnics I visited aren't easy to forget. We're humans too and humans make mistakes. We're hoping for a chance to set our path right once again. we've gone through a mistake and have taken the huge risk, shouldn't WE know what's right for us already? To prove my point, its prolly because the arranger of Sg's education system is too afraid and kiasu to take in students who have once committed a mistake. Which is bloody unfair.

On the contrary, I wouldn't entirely consider me entering SP's science as mistake. because it is a fact; the science sector provides a wide job scope and science is blooming in Sg. People who are in the chemical line, and they earn at least 8k a month. Plus, along this one year at poly, I discovered things about myself. I realised that I preferred doing hands-on projects as compared to theoretical ones. I enjoyed the enterprising module where we had to design a prototype, and plan a business proposal for a company. And also, (probably the most important reason) I made loads of fantastic friends on the way. I realised I love meeting people and the responsibility of planning an event. I realise that I yearn to be involved; when I see a crowd chirping happily I wish I was in that gang laughing along. My friend, Alethea's working with Youth Empire so she's organising ROMP. though she complains its really hard and tiring, but the experience she gains is really worthwhile. Its only through such hands-on and experience like these where you learn spontaneously. with that, I now know I'd want join a community to gain experience in events management. So, no regrets for me.




I haven't gotten my response from two more schools - TP and SP but I've more or less decided on taking a Bachelor in Mass Comm at a private school- SMa. The modules are completely alike the ones offered at poly, the only thing that's different, are the course fees. :S

Fee i know its really late but I've finally gotten outta my laziness and got down to doing the tag. haha

6 Weird Things About Me

1. I burp alot. and I mean alot. not just loads of times but also super loudly. and I don't need any prompts i.e. gassy drinks or food to burp. I just burp. I even burp halfway as I'm talking. hahhah horrid I know.

2. I can whistle without pouting my lips forward like how everyone does. its just using my front protruding teeth and tongue. I can also whistle the normal way; but the abnormal way is louder. ahahah. strange.

3. I bathe only after 12midnight. though I know its bad for health and all. but I seem to only get into the showers after 12. no explanation why.

4. I keep food in my mouth for super long hours. Some examples are: almond nuts, sausages and fishballs. HAHAHHA and everyone who's around me would completely freak out to see the sausage still in my mouth after what, 2 hours?

which brings me to my next weird fact;

5. I am deeply in love with almond. Almond nuts, jelly, biscuit, you name it. Once I even da bao-ed some almond nuts from home and brought it to a movie to munch on. i remember samantha and laijie were like, omg. HAHA. but my STUPID teeth hurt now so I can't chew on anymore almond nuts. ):

6. ...

..

I'm thinkin really hard!! haha, got jason to help think too.

quite a number crossed my mind.. bout how I love to laugh and scream aloud on the streets, my fetish for AMs, my extreme interest in good photos and photoshop, how I love salty food.. but gah, none seems to be substantial enough.


Okay, ya know what? Screw number 6. I'm done with this.

hahaa

I cut my fringe on my own!



I think I can be a hairdresser. lol! I can cut alfie's hair too and it looks good enough.



notice the lobang in my teeth? thats where the teeth were extracted from.

Oh oh can I please tell you guys something gross? All of our teeth has 2 roots right? After my tooth was removed there's 2 gaping holes within the gum where the gum used to be in place. (picture a pig's snout) So now each time when I eat food remains will get stuck inside the gum holes. and it literally ROTS in there for god knows how many days. and once in a blue moon the rotten food remain decides to dislodge itself from its merry home i.e. the gum hole and *plonk* falls onto my tongue and BLEAHHHH YUCCCCCCK i taste something awfully disgusting!!! GROSS! And I've got 2 teeth extracted so thats 4 holes for food to get stuck into. Once I even thought suspected a vein was coming out of the gum; only to realise it was a noodle that was stuck. Teeth hurry move inwards...

Oh yeah and there was once I was having nasi lemak..
disclaimer: do not read on if you have a faint heart or super sensitive to injuries or somethin. heh
And I was chewing happily on the coconut rice and all.. till one of the curvey ikan bilis happened to just nice bend toward one of my open wound. Then I bit down hard. Sick I know. amazingly it didn't bleed. but my entire jaw (both top and bottom) started hurting like crazy. even painkillers didn't work. :'(
