what changed e course of ur life?
my education path has alwiz been qt smooth, being able to make it to all e so called "good schools" which my parents wanted..
dey tried so hard to get me into nanyang primary.. thou i doubt i wil send my children there.. ha.. i still rmb mummy alwiz drive us to sch.. n at dat time bt timah road was not wad it is like today.. itz alwiz congested dat's y dey built e 3-tier road.. mummy said she wanna drive us to nygh using e new road, which she nv got to do it oso.. when i got into nygh i was v happy cos i fulfilled mummy's wish, not mine..
mummy's death prolly changed e course of my life cos if she were still ard.. i might b more pampered n ferried from place to place.. n we cld prolly b richer..
if mummy were ard i doubt i wld ever go taiwan.. cos she prolly wun lemme go hols on my own..
anyway getting into nygh wasnt one of e most fantastic thing dat has happened to me.. but getting to noe 2 most impt frens: xq n vien.. was e best thing dat cld ever happen to me.. dey r like my emotions bin alwiz there to listen to all my grumbles n whining..
not 4getting cz who i din really keep in contact but happened to chong feng at radio acad..
even gg hcjc was not a choice made by me.. i got 8 pts for prelims.. e cut off pt for hc so i might not get in in e 1st place..
i rmb during e jae, i dun haf internet access so xq helped me do e reg n she chose hc for me 2nd was nj.. dey were all gg hc so i jus followed..
nxt choosing of courses.. i gave up being a doctor after O levels.. cos i was afraid of hardship thou being a doctor wld b v prestigious n 光宗耀祖 but i noe i was not up to it.. but so as not to disappoint my dad i still chose trip science.. partly cos i haben decide wad i wanna do in e future n trip sc is e safe option.. i haf nv considered arts cos i was nv an arts person.. n so i think i chose trip sc bcos vien asked me to pei her.. [so dat we might end up in e same class]
if i had really allow my heart to decide back then, i wld choose e odd combi of bio chem econs n maths..i wanted to do econs in jc.. my physics sucks big time! n i rmb how i struggled wif physics back then.. *shudders*
n being in a trip science class we haf e longest timetable in e whole sch cos we haf 3 labs each wk can u imagine! n we were alwiz rushing lab reports n stuff.. [peanuts compared to wad my sc frens r doing now i guess] i rmb i was e bio rep n i alwiz haf to b at bio lab early to count test tubes n petri dishes n wad haf u got.. grr.. luckily its only for 1 yr..
i still rmb after 1st 3 mths i still got 8pts for Os n dis time round i think i might b kicked out of hc.. me n rena pon lect on e day of e release of posting results.. cos we were so afraid..
heng i got to stay in e end if not i prolly wld end up in nj, just across e road jus like some of e girls in my class.. heng i stayed n eli came over! n wif some manipulation haha she got into my class.. n i m thankful for e 2nd intake cos of my clique 3 of them r 2nd intakers.. yanling ting n eli were from e same nj class somemore.. sometimes it gets tough tokking to them cos i rmb dey were not v happy in hc.. dey like nj more.. but heng everything is ok le..
was disappointed wif my As results.. n i chose not to do science or pharm like wad e bulk of my class is doing cos i was sick n tired of science so i decided to do econs.. y did i choose econs? i din wanna choose biz cos i thot it was too general.. den while looking thru some of e pamphlets wif my sis, my sis took out e smu econs one n say y dun u try for dis? den i was like huh? smu? i nv eben think of dat lor..
but i went to smu, took e written interview n verbal interview n surprisingly i cleared! n i got in!
after 1 yr there i dun really like e environment n e long n steep slope leading to e sch was v irksome n i dun look forward to gg to sch at all.. especially during wk 13 n 14 when there r presentations almost every day n wearing heels n carrying laptop up e slope is no easy feat!
n for e 1st time in my life, i made a deviation! i transferred to ntu. y did i call it a deviation cos my education path has alwiz been a typically defined as a good n proper way it shld b..
my transfer to ntu was a spur of a moment.. i rmb i din tell any of my smu frens cos i noe i might get emotional. if dey try n ask me to stay i might stay n regret in e future.. so i called yanling n rena n told dem i feel like transferring to ntu.. i wanted to do acct at first cos its 3 yrs mah n i will still grad ard e same time had i stay in smu..
so i wrote to nbs dean but he/she i cant rmb said dey haf too many ppl on waiting list le.. n cos i missed e deadline n stuff.. its jus a spur of e moment like i said so i din go thru e "correct way"..
den yanling asked y dun u try econs since its a new sch.. so i emailed office of academic services n of cos dey told me i missed e deadline n i can try for e nxt academic yr when e time comes.. but i din gif up i emailed chen kang.. n he said he need to chk.. den he said oas said e deadline was over but he was still curious y i want a transfer.. after a few emails wif chen kang he promised to help me out n tada so here i m now in ntu!
i haf nv regretted coming to ntu n dis place really make me feel at home wif all e nice ppl ard me! its v different from smu.. i dunno how different it wld b if i had really gone to acct but my hss frens r great!
my dad was really happy when i decided to trf to ntu surprisingly cos i tot he might b angry i wasted 1 yr.. thou he was still irritated y i din go nus instead! partly cos to e older generation nus is more prestigious n oso nus is nearer to my hse its jus one straight road down [if u drive] ha..
oh another thing.. shortly after i trf to ntu, smu announced a fee hike ha.. so i m glad i trf.. n cos its in city area i think i might shop a lot or worse still alwiz late for lessons..
i think 179 is soo much nicer cos its so frequent.. ha..
another thing which changed my life.. not really course of my life is joining radio acad.. getting to noe e reality of broadcasting industry.. i m really glad i get to experience it b4 deciding if dat is e kind of career i really want.. nope i dowan.. cos its really ugly! ha..
wad other changes do i wanna c in my life?
i wanna do exchange cos i wanna try n c if i can survive on my own n i wanna c how wold life b like to stay abroad n study for 1/2 a yr..
oh i forgot to mention after As i was actually offered a place in melb uni b4 my As results were released.. dey gave me a place in biomed based on my teachers' forecasted results.. i told my dad n he asked me to decide but i was to leave sg 1 mth after my As.. it was too sudden so i gave up.. haiz if not i wld haf been in melb now..
i want a someone to change e course of my life cos i m tired of being alone ha..
i want a job in future which i will enjoy working wif nice colleagues n all.
i want a good life in e future.. not necessarily e tai tai sense.. a good life simply means i m happy wif whoever i m wif n dat's enuf..
yar i noe some may say dat i behave like a tai tai now liao ha.. wadeva..
