Saturday was a hectic weekend for me. I went for the NUS, NTU and SMU openhouse. Got a rough idea on the different courses that each is offering and the distinctive features of each courses. Of course, with the individual schools promoting themselves fiercely, i really had a difficult time thinking the ideal university for me to pursue my business course.
Before going, i actually was keen on NUS.First, it being a prestigous and the most well known uni in Singapore. But wehn i went over to NTU (my first stop), i had a shock. NTU's business is ranked third in Asia, losing to two schools in HongKong.Yet, my desired sch, NUS is 14th(if i remember correctly). The Dean of NTU even made this comment "SMU is not even in the top120 list.." Murmurs across the lecture hall as students started their respective comments on the rankings. With the red big bag heavily loaded with brochures and goodies, i made my move to NUS. I confronted the students there. One of which happened to my cousin's friend. I asked him regarding the ranking and the quality of the business course offered there. The guy replied " stroke of luck that NTU won NUS". i was speechless.
Again with an Orange-Blue bag, i draged my tired feet to the most familiar building. SMU which is super duper near my workplace. We had difficulty finding our way since we dun really noe where the exhibitions and talks are held at. One of the business student there spoke with an American accent and of course with confidence abt the unique teaching style it offered in comparison to the above 2 uni. Actually,i am amazed at the confidence the person displays as he explains. I enquired abt the sensitive issue. Course fee. $7500 first year. Subsequently $8300 . Wow .
Went to Bugis for my first meal of the day, breakfast-cum-lunch-dinner at Pasta Mania. Finally met two of my classmates, Henry and jerome at Bugis. Scouted Bugis Junction and village for a pair of white sneakers. But to no avail. Accompanied the both of them at KFC and we had fun talking abt a lot of funny stuffs then we went arnd in search for Jerome's white sneakers. Got real tired and bored after a while. Then an idea came to my brain. NEOPRINTS.
It was reaching ten when we hurried there to take shots. These two guys seem uncomfortable.Haha.But too bad, i pulled them in and made sure they take the prints. Just when the posts that we though of suddenly was used up and that we have no idea wad to post in front of the camera when a little boy (around k2 i guess) came in and said he wants to take shots. We happily and more than willing asked him to take shots with us. He is so cute. He happily pose for the camera.Sweet. Haha.Shall post the photos once i got it scanned. The little boy is so cute.
The two guys were gentlemen enough to walk me home despite how lethargic they are. Haha. Jerome helped carry the two goody bags for me. Thanks so much. =) It was really nice of them. I really had fun with the two of them. Fun stuffs we did just by chilling out. cant wait to meet them up soon again to chill it out once more. Lol.Oops. before i forgot, thanks alvin for accompanying me to openhouse. =)

Haix.Funny it may seems but apparently as i scroll down my MSN. I realise a lot of my friends' MSN are super scandalous sia.Haha. Wink.
Here are some examples - When will my "special" one appear before my eyes? " With you always" " Did she catch my wink?" and the list continues..lol. Definitely. LOVE IS IN THE AIR! oops. Valentine's over yet cupid has not left and is still busy playing the game of hearts. =P
With those remaining guys in my batch going in army in April and the girls waiting anxiously to enter university, it seems that some of us are lusting over a taste of love. Sweet.
Yet i am abit apprenhensive on whether relationships like this can last. I am just speaking wad's on my mind. I do have friends whom belong into this category. The female friend of mine waiting to go uni, while her guy waiting to be enlisted real soon. At least for this friend of mine, she is confident of waiting for her guy and resisting temptations that may awaits her when the university doors open for her.
Well, i dun have such confidence like her. Perhaps i have not met the right one that can make mi wait duitifully for him and embark on so called "long-distance relationship" Or that as my horoscope suggests : fickle-minded in affairs of the heart. Or that i am just too willful to settle down for a guy. Wadeva the reason is, i am not complaining.
In my workplace, those guys are older than me and are ahem..boring. Haha. Though i have colleagues arnd my age, but not possible. Other than work, i am mostly slacking at home or giving tuition so i wont have the chance to go out tomeet new ppl. So friends who are seeing this, haha, dun have to doubt. I am really still very much single and looking arnd. Haha. i have funny friends whom are linking mi up with their classmates and friends. I appreciate their efforts and that i noe they have my interests at heart. They fear that my expectations too high till i remain single for long. Lol. Sabrina and i share the same sentiments here and that both of us admit that we have slightly higher expectations of our the other half. Come on, its not wrong to expect more. Haha. greedy sia the both of us. Bleah! =P
Not pining for my guy to appear immediately with the snap of fingers. I shall not deliberately go search for one. Instead, i will remain where i am . Waiting for the right one at the right moment at the right time. Lol. Sounds so fairy tale! No la.Not those "happily ever after" ending. Lol.
All right. Shall add in some element of fun here. I shall list out my criteria of those that can catch my eyes..
* He must be a guy
* senstitive to my needs but not overly sensitive
* great smile (cos i love to take neoprints!)
* fun to talk to
* tanned
* at least 1.73m (muhaha)
* dun mind shopping with mi and carrying my stuffs
* bonus pt : can sing song for mi to hear (dun need to sing till very nice la)
* not too shy please. haha
* cannot too quiet cos i love to talk
* not very handsome, just someone that i wont find it tiredsome to look at =)
Okay. If i am to continue on, i need more posts.haha. Okay. Shall just jot down the relevant pts. Haha.

Yay!! Sabrina finally blogged!!
Here's a post for Sabrina..
Hope that after this post, she will be able to find faith and strength to carry on with enduring the stress frm a levels =)
Indeed one has to muster enuff courage to check the reulst on the report card.I personally stunned for a feew minutes even before the results when my civics tutot came to ask mi to be a relief teacher for econs. I wa thinking if my results super bad till no other courses, and need to go NIE. I almost burst into tears when the statistics table was shown.
But a few minutes later, we were then given the relief frm anxiety when we queue to receive our grades. Fear, anxiety, confusion, excitement. All these no doubt accompany us tru out our schooling life. With PSLE down, O Levels and now A levels, having dealt with each and every major exams. Have it ever dawn on u that actually we are always dealing with it practically most our life?
The preparations made in the course, the sacrifices we made admist our studies, the disappointment we face now and then in common tests and prelims, the joy we havce when we see a subject having passed for the single time in the entire year. All these mould us and prepare us to face the music in the last league in the individual lapse of our lives.
Saying that i am not afraid on my results day is a lie. Claiming that whenever i keep getting failed results for my tests and even up to prelims doesnt matter is deceiving one. Convincing myself that i shouldnt give up here and there in the course of life is wad that is difficult for everyone. Who doesn't lose heart whenever u see a big fat O in ur report card?Stress management is wad that divides the winners and losers in life.
sabrina, ur report card now is still a blank sheet of paper, other than ur PW grades and maybe chinese. U need to personally fill it up with ur hard work, tears, disappointement and slpless nights to ensure that ultimately the results shown on this blank sheet is one that u noe u tried ur best. No pt getting so stressed up and doubting ur capability now. For all that matters, ur grades arent the grades u will receive now.
I keep getting O for maths in my sch exams, not that i didnt study. But i have blackouts and low periods that i wanted so much to give up but i manage to perk up the fighting spirit in the start of J2 and told myself to strive on. In the end, i won. Econs, have nv been my best subject., Imagine whenever tutorials, i am always giving worng answers and my friends dun ask mi for help in econs cos my answers are all twisted. I need to personally sit down everyday after sch to look tru those that were discussed in classes and analysed it w/o my tutor's help. Yet, i managed it in the end.
Physics was my worst subject, having failed it continuously in JC 1. For a levels, God noes how many times i flipped the tattered TYS to prectise all the questions. I did it 5 times. I feel like hiding the book whenever i revise it. Though, the ultimate results not very superb, but at least i made the mark. GP has always been my worry-less subject. But it proved otherwise.
What i am driving at is that sabrina, the battle is not over yet. U still haven reach half time. U cant call it quits and doubt ur abilites now. Wads more, u got Qi help in Chem and Phy or maths. Can de! Dun tink abt the results day for u now. Wad is crucial now is wad u need to do to get there. Get ur thoughts straightened. Chase the butterflies in ur stomach and brace urself up! For all u noe, ur results may even outshine us? Ur results are not even determined yet.
When u receive ur results that day, i am sure u will be going there with a light heart and knocking within urslef that the results u receive is the best indicator of ur abilities and those TYS practising are all worthwhile ultimately.
Smile. Cos we love ur smile. Dun worry. Cos no worries are big enuff to handle. =)

Boredom. I am really slapping myself and pinching myself real hard to keep myself awake.Rainy days these days. Cold weather but my heart is even colder within. brr.. In a few hours time, i will be rushing off to Yishun to give tution. By the time, i reach home, it will be my favourite10 pm show. Its nice to be so busy nowadays. At least it keeps my head from swaying to another recollection and all the unhappiness i faced in my life.
Perhaps the emptiness i feel these days is part and parcel of the glum i will feel toward the results day. But it is only partially cos i have not been out these days with my friends. I miss my buddies...Qi, min and li also Beattie, huiling and nianci, Roy and belle...etc.. Perhaps it is true that we have to part and continue with our lives one day but i am really not used to it. Haix.
I hope i can go out and catch up with them real soon. Also, that tmr's results will be pleasing to mi.Hopefully....
