Went for 2 talks and felt a bit scammed.
the 1st was this talk abt china where we listened to this prof
though it wasn't as inspirational as wat i expected and was abit boring,
it was still much better than the 2nd part
where we ended up listening to this super haolian prof talk abt his china doll collection -.-
ok the second was about waff.
ERM, it wasnt exactly wat i expected,
and to a certain extend it was more of a scam
for one we didnt expect to see tt the rest of the participants were from secondary schs -.-
and we wasn't exactly informed of wat we were in for..
but the speaker was much nicer though (:
oh i discovered tt NUS food was good!
for the same price as food sold in our sch canteen,
we could get much better food!
eg. i paid $2.20 for a chicken cutlet which tasted gd aft eAating i was super full
while we had to pay $2.50 for baked rice in sch which is not even filling!
ARRGH. so unfair.
i had to go for semakau mock guiding so i couldnt' join 5C12 at miss leong's house. :(
well, luckily the talk ended early so i didnt hav to take taxi to meet the semakau ppl
i was jus in time to see Grace, Samuel, Camelia at the bus-stop too!
but so sad eunice couldnt make it for the boat :(
the boat was cool!
and cosy cos it was divided into diff cabins.
Mock guiding was kindof scary though.
I was super stressed cos I didn’t finish my script! >.<
felt super bad abt it.
Shld buck up for OTJ – super stressed!
Gd news though – we didn’t really get bitten by mossies!
Maybe it’s cos we’re the last grp to track thru the forest?
Went for dinner/supper with the older guides.
We squeezed into Justin’s car!
And were squashed to one side when he did his sudden turns on purpose. Haha.
It’s quite cool to talk to them too,
even though we hav a bit of generation gap.
Oh Justin was telling us abt Uni life, which was interesting to know.
And he said I look/sound like an arts student!
Haha yup I am, but how did he know tt?!
Oh he said I look/sound like a student leader too.
Hmm…
Btw, he said tt the students staying in the NUS halls are too rar-rar to study,
Driving to Malaysia for dinner and skipping lectures the next morning,
Graduating with boarderline passes?!
OMG tt totally put me off staying in the hostel.
Oh and when I asked him whether I shld go to NUS, NTU or SMU,
His immediate answer was SMU, cos they were practical in their way of empowering students.
According to him, NTU was theoretical, while NUS attempts to be practical.
I was thinking of going to the Banking & Finance sector
(THINK only cos I might not even be gd enough.)
And I know NTU’s accountancy is gd but I don’t wanna study accounting.
Think I can do banking without an accounting cert?
Anyway I think NUS life will make me really busy
cos there are lots of events tt I can participate in
so it’ll most prob make me too busy for my studies (like now)
therefore maybe it’ll suit me better but maybe it’s time for me to venture out of my comfort zone
and choose SMU for a change as it’ll enhance my employment opportunity?
Though I’ll save on transport I’m going to spend a lot of food If I go SMU
cos u simply cant find cheap food as they are located next to orchard rd!!
and they are very competitive on coming up with the next big proj
and they dress like they are ready to go shopping! >.<
oh well, like they said, I still have 2 years.
Anyone wanna go for the SMU open house (9/3 cos I cant make it on 8/3)
or NUS open house (15 or 16/3) with me?
