How?

Received a call from Yi Xin. She said 'I read your blog, so you going NUS ah?'

And I'm like. 'I thought you said you read my blog.'

That's exactly what happened with Jing Yi too. She asked me almost exactly the same thing and I replied somewhat the same things.

In case I didn't make myself clear, I don't know where I wanna go yet. The thing is, I don't have a choice obviously.

I received that darned letter from NTU on Friday. Before that, Yi Xin is a 100% NTU-goer. Two days later, today, she's 60% NUS-goer.

What happened was that she's swayed by NTU's rejection of me. Like most probably I'm going NUS la.

I thought of what is repelling me away from NUS Science. It is that I'll be surrounded by too many China scholars and I don't know if it's a good thing. Not that I don't welcome them, I'm actually glad that Singapore can offer them places in the university here, but I'm afraid that they'll give me extra pressure. And I don't think I'll hit off with them, I met enough Chinese National customers. The standard of Mathematics of the Chinese are reputated to be very very high. Sigh.

And when I went to the NUS Science induction session I saw this person who was from MJ also, like very enthusiastic about going to mathematics too. The fact is. I don't like the person! Forgot the name anyway.

I somewhat cos the pre-feeling that I won't be happy there, I'd love to have company that I know. Who doesn't want to be happy when he or she is at work or studying right?

And when Yi Xin said she more or less wanna come NUS too, I got mixed emotions now. I mean, I don't know if she's making the right choice and what if she didn't? Shi Hui and Hui Ying and Shun Wei also decided on NUS already and Yi Xin is rather attracted le. I don't know la, I'm happy to know that all of them are going to be there, but I just...I'm still scared la. Haha.

No no Yi Xin you don't have to feel whatsoever I'm just typing down my thoughts...

She just SMSed me and said she talked to her mum about this, and I think what her mum said was right...like if Yi Xin is happy of course she'll have the mood to study...you may have a degree specialising in something but you don't necessary have to do the job of that genre la...if YX does mathematics I think it's quite an open ended course.

Me myself also unsure of what I wanna do, I dunno what job I want, but I guess I should be alright as long as my future job revolves around numbers.

Just be grateful I've never tried blogging in 1 2 3 or x 2y 3z. I don't know how to go about it anyway.

Yea back to what I was talking about. I'm just afraid that because Yi Xin wanna be happier in school so she's coming to NUS also..I dunno la, I think it's quite a last minute choice. Hope she thinks deeply about this too. We have a few more days to reply to the university(ies), let her think about it. I just hope that I can hit off with people at NUS and be happy in school la.

Hostel...I'm afraid to live alone and I know I'll miss home but I'll go on with the hostel idea I guess. I hate to travel too much. Tampines to Buona Vista to Tampines again and sleep and wake up and Tampines to Buona Vista to Tampines again and sleep and wake up and and and...the cycle won't end. So I better live in a hostel. Spooky leh haha.

Band...Ian (Huili's boyfriend) told me at Mus'art practice today that they just changed a conductor..so the current resident conductor is Leonard Tan. I heard about him la, I think he's not bad. Friends with Aaron they all lo, so he should be good too. Nothing to hiam about the attractiveness of the band for now. NTU is Mr Oura and I thought it'll be interesting to be learning under him. But ya...NTU denied me the chance.

Huili also asked me if I wanna help NTU guest play...they need tuba players. I was quite bad la, I said in her face 'NTU reject me lo... ... ...' and she was quite taken aback by the look of it. Then we discussed about it and I just keep harping on it la haha. I talked to Xin Hui as well as Mrs Chua about this issue too. Got a bit more enlightened la, asked what I wanna ask and laughed things off as well. Mrs Chua still asked me go write complain letter. Good idea. Quite a fun thing to do. Haha.

Another thing is that I thought of recreation too. If I go to NTU, I'll have Jurong Point which is quite accessible. Buona Vista got no shopping areas can. Haha. Uh my recreation means shopping. Heh.

I'm actually thankful for people who cares about me at this point of time la, people who asked why I am pissed, people asking me to stay cool, people who listened especially...really appreciate that.

I think after these few days of thinking chances of squeezing into NTU may be slim, it's like so what if they accept me..it's as if I begged them to do so when I may not need to do so in the first place...since they don't want me and NUS is offering me a good education, why not? I just hope character-wise NUS won't change me to be someone too show-off. Haha.

How now brown cow? Think about it over the next few days la, will need to reply around next Monday already.
