I've been really really inactive in story-writing and my rpgs lately, which I'm so very sorry about. I keep telling myself I need to make the Muraki post I've been postponing for so long to conclude things and start a new chapter, but some thing always crops up and bars me from doing so. I will get my butt off the ground and do it soon!
I went to Taylor's yesterday (Sat) to enquire about their SAM programme, and it sounded pretty good. It's a little expensive for one year though, but I was assured that since I came from Science stream, I would most definitely do well and would be able to gain a scholarship. I think that's a little one-sided, since Arts stream students are not dunces either. And I'm planning to take up the course leaning towards the Arts (I DO NOT WANT TO SEE PHYSICS AGAIN), which they assured me again would be a breeze for me, just because I'm a Science student. No comments period.
Today though, I went to two EduFairs, the first in MV. Made me extremely frustrated, because I unfortch went with my parents and therefore wasn't allowed a word in speaking to the counsellors. You know parents. And mine are the extreme. Went about, but learned nothing more than we'd learned before. Except for Olympia Coll, they offer SAM too, but unlike Taylor's, you are free to choose the subjects which you want (Taylor's SAM come in packages). I pretty much liked it, since I wanted Biology instead of Economics but I didn't want to take Physics (in Taylor's Bio comes hand in hand with Physics). And coincidentally, I talked to a Physics lecturer. Hah.
Weird thing that happened there was that while I was standing by the entrance of the Fair, someone tapped me on the shoulder and exclaimed Hi ***(my name) ! I turned, expecting to see one of my friends but saw someone who would've looked familiar but yet not. I must've been staring at her blankly after my initial Hi! to her, cos she excused herself pretty quick. Hm. I still have no idea who is she.
Later, went to AnimeTech about the DVDs and they DIDN'T have Mirage of Blaze and Ai no Kusabi. Grr. Hm, I want the originals!
keaxy, the lady asked me what was the English title of Ai no Kusabi and describe what was it about. LOL. She caught me off guard; so I told her it was like, on an all guys planet with a computer etc but then broke off cos I didn't want to say further ^^;;;; She was looking at me with that 'gayboyfreak' look on her face! (I bought Gravitation from them XD). Anyway she's calling me on Tues when they do their stock stuff to tell me if they have them or not.
Went to NikoNiko Doh after that, and enquired about some Drama CDs which I'd had completed with serial numbers. T_T She looked at the numbers,gave me a blank look and went, "These are the serial numbers?" I gave up. Searched for WK, FY and Gravi drama CDs but as usual, NO STOCK. Extremely pissed.
We went to Nanyang Fair next, mostly all Chinese speaking people @_@. Was required to fill up a form at the entrance which was all in Chinese and my mum who translated the words said I was like I a blind person in there. 0.0
Found my oasis in UniTAR. We talked to a counsellor who explained very very well about a particular foundation + degree course they offer that I'm interested in. At first, we thought it wasn't really a gateway into what I REALLY wanted to major in, but then this marketing lecturer came over, talked to us, found out what we wanted and called another lecturer who holds a degree and Masters in the course that I'm LOOKING FOR. I quote PT, "God is Fair." We had a fine time. She described everything and now yeah, I'm no more a wanderer in the lost desert getting detoured by false mirages. I have my oasis! XD And the programme's reasonably priced, meaning it won't burn a hole in my parents' pocket, meaning I won't burn myself out when I work to repay them much later. She's also the course designer (o.0) meaning she sets the syllabus of the particular course I want to go through. LOL.
Dear
kanimaki, I need your help on clarifying some stuff on Form 6 STPM (you are going for that right? ^^). I have been told that after STPM, you get to list your choice of public unis but it is not certain if you'll get that particular uni you're searching for. They may assign you randomly to some other uni. I hope it's not true. Could you clarify this for me, pleasie please? ^^ Unfortunately, no matter how much I don't want to go to Form 6, it is still an open option T_T
Oh yes, those who commented in
sushiteapup have been added ! ^^ Sorry it took so long, needed to sort out the entries. THey're all RO ramblings though. Be warned! XD
The list of those chosen for National Service comes out TOMORROW. Everyone, PRAY that I won't be chosen. Oh please please please *prays fervently*
[EDIT]
Got everyone into a frenzy about NS. lol. It's coming out in the papers today. Pray for me, please! I don't wanna go! Another thing, got to know a TARC guy, hm-mm. Great person! He just confirmed my problem that everyone speaks mandarin there @_@ I should probably drop that Jap course I'm planning to take and take up a mandarin course instead. T_T
