NYP...HERE I COME!!!

i had actually intended to write this some time ago, but due to commitments elsewhere...it did not come out...so here goes...

some time in the past week...

without my noticing, time has crept up slowly and suddenly i feel it tapping my shoulders. school is so near, yet i failed to prepare for it. well, i dunno how to prepare for it actually. but i guess the adage time flies when you are enjoying yourself really does apply to me. only in my terms, time flies when you are busy. i have to think of enrolment, tuition subsidies, sponsorships, tarian, awallah dondang, FOC... sigh sigh... but i really should ready myself for the uncertainties of life in a new school... after all it was not a small decision made...i need to make it work... and i need to work...

2nd July 2004

had my orientation in school...and found out that there were only 3 guys in the course...but the other 2 guys were really cool and friendly, and we immediately found common ground...army...but that aside...we had a boring introductory session, which was redeemed by a half day amazing race-cum-treasure hunt which in my opinion, really managed to gel everyone together and bond us pretty well...for a half-day event that is, so kudos to the organising committee...and OT won the first prize for the day and that just really augmented our high spirits... made a lot of friends... i think school is gonna be a really exciting and interesting affair, what not with the managers and mentors who are ever so friendly and approachable... i am falling in love even as i write this... but my only worry is my religious obligations...i hope that gets settled soon...

5th July 2004

first day of school...i arrived in good time...but transport is gonna cost a whole lot of money...and i need that sponsorship to alleviate the burden of asking from my parents...and i need to be self-sustenant...had some lectures and found the topics really interesting...and as pointed out by the lecturers, our subjects' depth are really not poly level, it was more towards university level... i dunno how comforting that is...but we shall see how...and had to choose our electives today...and guess what happened...i could not get the one i wanted - conversational mandarin...so i opted for something that was closer to the heart - appreciation of the arts...hahahha...then i started thinking. i did not want to go to arts and social science in NUS, and neither did i apply to medicine. but now in OT, i am doing sociology, arts appreciation and pseudo-medicine. hehehhee...talk about durian runtuh.

but i am loving it so far.

so far.
