So much has happened since i last posted.
But nothing exceptionally saddening i guess (:
(apart from man u losing to chelsea RAWR what nonsense)

Scholarship applications! Gosh, what a hassle. Essays, essays, more essays. It had been such a long time since i last activated my brain cells hah! Oh wells, just writing whatever nonsense i could think about, mostly about what i aspire to be, how i learnt from this experience and that yadda yadda.

SO. After much procrastination and mind tiring thinking, i submitted about 6 applications. Out of which, only STB (no, not the freaking slabs of steel we carry across rivers, the tourism board lol) , MAS and SIA have given me a chance. (freaking acronyms lol)

Here are the various outcomes:

MAS - kicked out of the first round amusingly (Haha! Please, to write an intelligent essay about 'How do you measure success' after more than a year in the army is quite impossible. Plus a psychometric test that was really interesting, but demoralizing when you see how fast your peers do it compared to you. My brain, is seriously, not working.)

STB - got through to the second round after a pretty failed interview (ridiculous questions that were REALLY specific to your experiences that i could only give lame answers to after thinking for SUPER long. i really wonder how i got through)

SIA - just gave me a slot NEXT SUNDAY. SUNDAY. SUNDAY?!?!?! Seriously, why not a weekday?! Dang, one of the main highlights of all these is to take time away from camp, and i receive an email telling me it's on a SUNDAYYYYY.

Sigh, i dunno if i should go for the SIA one now, cause.... now im not even sure if i should go for these bonded scholarships. OCBC (the only non-bonded one) has not even contacted me. The bond will make me obliged to serve the company for at least 4 years, which isn't exactly a good idea given the nature of what im going to study, I wouldn't be able to go under the bar and practise law.

But then, there's the hefty tuition fees. My parents are gonna pay for me if not for the scholarship, not that they can't, but it's just to remove a huge burden off their shoulders.

How. Okay, not like i can even get through to the final rounds for any of them in the first place right. Hahaha.



I FINALLY WENT OVERSEAS LAST WEEKEND. (: (: (:



(^my dad's primary school! how cool!)


Haha(:

Albeit it being only to malaysia, for one night, and travelling by bus. Hahaha (:
It still felt great! Oh how i love just staring out the window and watch the hypnotic, put-on-loop scenery fly past, with my ipod cranked up to my ears. How i love walking in foreign soil (though malacca is WAYYY too familiar already) and appreciating the differences from home. How i love seeing familiar faces that ive missed, those ive not seen for ages. How i love cozying into the HUGE COMFY HOTEL BEDZXZX.
(: (: (:

Ah man. I'm SOOO looking forward to going overseas BY PLANE to a FAR FAR AWAY place at the end of the year (:

I've block leave the whole of next week! Yay. But. I think id be rotting at home most of the time, i mean, everyone else is SOOOO BUSY ):

Okay, SEVEN MONTHS till ord. C'mon c'mon.
