I took a leap of faith. Jumped right into the mouth of the ocean without testing the waters. It swallowed me whole and I'm drenched. I don't know what I'm feeling now. Cold, oh so cold. Shivering until the goosebumps appeared. Wet, clothes sticking to my back. Teary, getting rid of excess salt. Deafened by the roar of the great thunder above. I'm now sobbing uncontrollably. "Mummy..!" I want my mother now. No one to help me, no one to advise me. Please don't let all this go to waste.

I applied to NTU/NUS yesterday.
