Oh hell yeah, LIFE is full of surprise.
Just like recently - I am offered ADMISSION to NUS!
I know, I sounded like I'm freaking kidding, but I'm not, okay? I called to make sure it wasn't a prank.
The NUS-NTU hype was over 2 month ago, never in my dreams had I seen myself getting a chance to be offered admission anymore.But, praise God, I was emailed by NUS on 23rd May (not that the date is important). I was on my way home after teaching when my friend BBM-ed me and said
that he got the e-mail from NUS (he was rejected, though), so I checked
my e-mail through my phone and look what I have found! I couldn't
believe it! It's a miracle. I didn't think I even stand a chance
entering that highly prestigious uni.

Do you believe it now? You have to, you know?
I have accepted the offer and I'M GOING!!
OH MY GOODNESS! Thanks God, thank You.
I have studied the Freshmen Guide in PDF (the real copy is on its way to my house. YES!), and found out that there's A LOT to do. I literally mean A LOT. Check this check that, blah blah.
Anw, I'm still confused on where should I stay. my sister's place? or the dorm?
If I choose :
- My sister's place : I'll have more freedom and privacy (home at 1? Who cares?). I will also be more comfortable as I have been familiar with the place. However, I'll pay much for the transport. My sister's place is far from NUS. Then I also won't get the chance to do all the dorm stuffs. Living with people your age is different.
- Dorm : I'll have lots of activities to do and get to know more people. Spend less time on road too (and less fee). But I won't have privacy, no personal toilet (that freaks me out) and no freedom. Geez.
I can't choose!! :'(
Well, other than that, I'm so glad I've been given a chance to spend my 4 upcoming years there. :)
I really do hope everything goes well.
You know, NUS is my plan A, NTU my plan B, and SIM my plan C (It doesn't hurt to have A LOT of back-up plans. Shit happens, you know?)
2 months ago this was what happened :
-
NUS
-
NTU
- SIM
So I have started my Plan C. I have submitted all the documents to UB-SIM and even paid the fee. I browsed through their websites and considered the clubs I wanted to join. I even had several ideas for my room already. I don't have the least hope for NUS (this is real, not even a bit). I thought that Plan C is not bad at all. At least I won't have to stressed myself out.
Then yesterday, I return to the plan A. The unfinished plan A. It's crazy, having to go back to something you have left and don't wanna remember anymore. Like going back to your ex?
BUT, as I have said before. I'm really really glad to be accepted! Thank you (!!!)
Holiday has been surprisingly not boring. In fact, I have been busy all days.
Another surprise is I was asked by my former tuition teacher to help her teach. Oh-my-God! Me? Who don't even planned to work during holiday?
She is going to pay me a considerable wage per lesson (I don't know how much. She's not telling and I'm not asking). It has been hectic, although Sunday will be the last day I'm teaching cause the students' gonna wrap up their exams on Monday (Math & Physics). I have to stay up all night making questions (I made some! Some I copy from books. lol) and wake up early to teach. Some of the kids are super cute. I always have the urge to squeeze this cute lil' boy to death. He's chubby and so funneeh. But they can be naughty sometimes.
I'm teaching 9 students for almost everyday. I'm so glad I know 'em. :) Then there's also my teacher's daughter, who's been extremely kind. I used to think she didn't like to talk much, but she seriously is gossipy. I love it though. It makes me wanna stay there the whole day and gossip with her.
I dare to say that this is the most productive holiday I have ever had.
God is always good, you just have to believe! :)
Blink twice and SURPRISE!
