Another weekend is coming up. My day of trepidation is about to start...
What do I mean by it? Tomorrow, the admissions exercise for application to NTU/NUS begins. Will I apply? Will I just raise my nose high up in the air and say, "This is most definitely not for me..."? I don't know...
*sighs*

I'm oh...so sleepy!
I nearly didn't make it to work today. I think I would have blissfully fallen asleep on the school bus, never to wake up until the driver made a turn. I was instantly awake. And instantly grumpy. I knew I was reaching school, I would usually be up along Dairy Farm Road but today I couldn't force myself to open my eyes. You know how you get into that mid of conscious and unconscious? You are just at the border of unconsciousness but you are aware of the song playing (or people's conversations) in your ears? Well I was there. And I would have reached the point of no return (to slumberland, of course) if the driver did not make a turn forcefully. Hence the whole paragraph of junk.
It's true that we only utilize like 2% of our DNA to function. The rest are considered 'junk' because for some reason they were not proven to have anything to do with basic fucntions. Or maybe, they have not arrived at their moment of fame among the rest of the population. Maybe, they are just late bloomers. Like how some people are. Just bidding their time until they joined the rest in the rat race. My point is that no matter how insignificant something is, there will always be a purpose for its existence. Same goes for Homo sapiens.
Anyway, will continue this later. Going for lunch now....*rumbles*

As I was sitting quietly at my terminal, reading my previous entry's comment, I was thinking to myself, "I gotta go in and write something...".
I forgot what I wanted to write about.
So let me sit quietly with my thoughts gathering at the back of my mind, never once would they surface to show what I am capable of. I gotta cut my nails. They are too long to type properly but still too short to varnish. Damn...! I want colourful nails! No, I think I prefer the "virgin" look. As long as I don't collect dirt underneath them, then everything should be fine! Life is bliss!
I am a bit whacked this morning. I was thinking about solitary imprisonment. Gawd....sometimes I just hate these inconsequential chatter that would periodically happen. Should I do this? Perhaps that is better. I gotta take better care of myself. Mental health is important. At least to survive in this society. Damn...! I really have got to cut my nails. All these typo errors...They are killing my rational thoughts!
One and a half hour til lunch. I am hungry! Had only an apple for breakfast. Yeah...yeah...eat healthy....whatever.
Oh, yes. I remember now what I wanted to write about. My high tea session with a few colleagues on Saturday. It was at the Goodwood Park Hotel. Nyonya kueh. The food was not too bad. I love the popiah! They make it there and then when you order it. Niceeeee..... We had a good time there. It was great to just talk about what's happening in and out of work. Share our opinions, stuff like that. It's one of the wonderful things about employment.
An hour 15 minutes to lunch. The countdown begins.....

I'm getting lazier and lazier in updating this page. And here I am thinking it might be cool to have my own homepage. *sighs* I can't even maintain the uniqueness of this site what more a homepage. Imagine it, I'm exposing more of my idiosyncrasies to the rest of the world. As if I don't get enough flak. Then I will start to be depressed and eat more. I don't need that kind of stress in my life.
I've been to the NTU web portal. Yes, being a kiasu Singaporean, I decided to apply early for my admissions to next intake. I was thinking about taking the Biological Sciences course in NTU. They have the option of medical school in the final year. Imagine my surprise when I checked out the relevant diplomas to the course applicants can take. Those with Dip. in Biotech. from TP are not allowed to study or even choose BSc in Bio Sci! Only graduates from SP and NAP are allowed. What is this? Are we not good enough to study that particular course? Or are they implying that SP and NAP grads are too lousy and so they are given a chance to try that degree programme? But then again, the rest of the course eligibility are the same for all 3 polys. Can someone care to expound on this dilemma? Being treated like second class citizens, it's no wonder poly grads all flock to the foreign universities. What with the advanced standing given, it's a much better option than staying on here.
It's just plain unlucky that I can't save fast enough. If not, I would book myself a one way ticket outta here.
Disclaimer. I'm not saying that SP and NAP graduates are second rate or not good enough. I was just baffled as to why there is such a segragation in the admissions to that particular course. I thought everyone who has earned that diploma are on equal footing. One theory could be that the subjects and syallabuses covered are different. Also the emphasis of the lessons could be different too. I apologise to all those who were offended by my earlier comments. I am also not trying to cut off all ties with my country. As a matter of fact I love Singapore and everything associated to her!
