It seems like everyone's getting called up for interviews.
SMU,NTU and NUS.
Looks like its not that easy getting into any course directly without an interview nowadays. What happened to the thrill of receiving an acceptance letter in the mail? Now, we get called up and emailed about interviews. Doesn't mean we're accepted yet. No thrill in that.
My future still remains uncertain and bleak and pretty much hopeless.
sigh.
I wish I could be some racer, drive fast cars, and earn big bucks.
you don't need a degree for that.
I just need to get a lisence. :D
And that, might be a reality the near future. teehee.

Well, weekends are burnt.
Work tomorrow!
Oh hello, Easter's coming too! X)

Woke up early for a run with my brother.
630 am, the neighbourhood still looked quite dead, save for the few early birds leaving for work and smartypants students who go to good schools in the west heading to the mrt.

Met sharon at mrt and headed down to town.
Lunched at some jap restaurant and caught up about poly/jc life.
Then, I realised I had a missed call. So I redailled the number and it led me to the SMU office of Admissions line.
ZOMG. I almost thought it was a prank call.
Anyhow, interview's scheduled next month. yikes. =/

Later on in the day, I went with Shar to watch Confessions of a Shoppaholic which we were both eagerly anticipating for it to hit the big screens.
The movie wasn't a let down, in fact, I think Isla Fisher's bubbly and vivacious personality really made the film a success.
I quite liked the way they portrayed her shoppaholic addiction when they made the manequins speak to her, enticing her to purchase whatever was on sale. The green scarf part was really, lol.
Ah well, the movie was very much enjoyable and definitely a chick-flick for girls/bring a boyfriend along kinda movie. It was odd when we spotted 1 pair of guys watching the show together. couldn't help but think twice about their relationship status. lol.

And after the movie, we did give in to our shoppaholic desires.
Bought the last two books of Twilight from MPH which was having a SALE, and some stuff from Marks and Spencer.
HMV-ed, but resisted the call of so many CDs on the racks. teehee, but we still went for cuppa at TCC.
Reminisced the good old secondary school days and our takes on life and its many complexities. Oh man, somehow I still feel stuck in time.. I still feel 16! D:
16, when we were just mulling over trivial day to day affairs without giving much thought about what the future may bring.
sigh. the nostalgia. lol.



EARTH HOUR TOMORROW!
save the planet, don't turn on your tv and com.
(lol, like how many people actually would?)

So that's that

I think I was breathing in too much Ether in the lab today.
I had a headache from the afternoon till now. ):
I don't like doing Condensation Polymerisation. One step of the entire reaction takes me one entire day to complete. And I have 4 steps in total just to make one polymer. I thought mine would flop today because I added too much chloroform so I was lamenting over the fact that I've got an additional 4 days to my 24 days of making 6 polymers. D:
Headache was killing me, so I knocked off early.
It's not some headsplitting, roll-on-floor-in-pain, kind of headache, but its so persistantly annoying. Heh, I don't really take Panadol so yeah, I guess I just have to suffer a little longer.
Anyhow, My friend got called up for SMU interview already! She's pretty nervous about the interview bit because of all the weird questions that they ask. Plus, according to seniors, 1 in 7 interviewees get accepted into SMU. Tough luck!
Ah well, we all have to go through some kind of interview sooner or later.
I wonder when my turn will be! AHHHH.


Confessions of a Shoppaholic tomorrow! :D

Dang, it was good

I said it too soon.
Something cropped up at work and I get Friday off. *does a victory dance*
Not complaining though, cuz I've made plans with Shar to go watch Confessions of a Shoppaholic + shopping after that + dinner at some fancy ooloo place.
teehee.
But I have NO MONEY )X so I guess I'll settle for window shopping. Not as satisfying as making a purchase at the counter, but it does satiate the craving for checking what's new on sale! so yes, window shopping ftw!

Looking forward to FRIDAY. TGIF! :D

The Best Deceptions
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 10:35 PM

Decided to start a blogspot for connections with people outside the LJ world.
So here's a little update on life:
1. attachment at ASTAR's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering
2. I started my driving lessons. #6 this coming Sat! X)
3. I am an OFFICIAL tuition teacher now
Yeah, life's not exactly thaaaat interesting now, but hey, at least I'm actually doing something productive.
I was hoping life after As was going to be slack, but I thought wrong. D:
It'd be great for some changes in my routine like, ponning my attachment, giving full-time tuition and earning big bucks, going for driving lessons everyday so that i'll pass before my birthday.
But...
1. I signed a contract with IMRE so I can't just quit
2. I have NO MONEY
Yeah, blame it on the recent recession. I can't go to UWA to do dentistry which was and still is what I want to do. Dad and Mom said they can't afford it. Honestly, I don't believe them. If they can still afford this house, car, other non-essential stuff, why not an overseas education? I told mom about taking up a loan with them, but they refused to do so. Apparently, being in debt after graduation is not ideal (according to her), but I DONT CARE. I'm paying the debts anyway. !@#$%^&. SIGH, I guess I'm in no position to tell them what to do. They are still earning the bucks afterall.
Sigh...... guess I'm fated for a Singaporean education. ):

EMONEMO.


it'd be great if you were here.
