Finally, my mum will have one less thing to nag at me. I have finished my personal statement for my UCAS application and I like what I have written as it came somewhat naturally from within me despite the fact that that painful process took nearly two hours. Life is just so ironical.
I remembered that last year while in the midst of preparation for my Prelims, I was also doing the same thing in my room. However, then, I was writing a personal statement to apply for a place to read Law in UK. I received some very good offers such as an unconditional offer of acceptance from the London School of Economics and Political Science which is rather highly ranked in UK. Coming from an average-income family, there was no way that I would be able to financially support myself in UK. I needed a scholarship to do so. It is quite agonising sometimes because most scholarship boards or agencies in Singapore are not essentially comfortable with the idea of giving out a scholarship for their scholar to read Law. I remembered that Greg was bombarded by the SIA panel and sort of rejected in the face by them when he applied for an SIA Undergraduate Scholarship to read Law in UK. The only scholarship I knew that would allow me to read Law in UK would be none other than a PSC scholarship. But...I ain't that fortunate.
This year, I am writing another personal statement to read Chemistry. Putting the UK rankings aside, I hope to be able to enter Imperial College as most of my friends highly recommend it too. Teaching has no really crossed my mind before but has been one of the weird things I am quite good at. In both my PHS and NJ years, I was the chemistry 'helpdesk' to my classmates and sometimes it was quite weird because I remembered Thiam Hoew my NJ classmate telling me one day that 'my Chemistry for 2 years was all taught by you' Mixed reactions to that statement I had. Another attempt at Yoda... an MOE Teaching Scholar...something that I would never believe I would become...God's plans? Maybe.
What does God want for you? Often times people get really carried away with their own plans that they tend to put God one side and relegate him to a place of less importance. Atheistic people would naturally subscribe to believing in their forecasting their own plans for the future. But as believers of Christ, shouldn't we lift up God's name in everything that we do even in our plans just as how we always say 'God, I praise you' in church.
I went out...actually can't really consider it as went out as if you 'went out' with someone it means that you had arranged to meet with that person...I met with Andrea and Gavin at Jurong Point last night. It was purely an unintended yet intended coincidence that we met. Gavin is her friend who watched The Island with her at night after we ate dinner. Jealous! Me! Nah...though I wear green everyday...hmm... It was kind of weird because Gavin was rather on the bit of the touchy side...not to Andrea but to me. Gasps!!! Yup I can hear it... He would...I shouldn't use the word stroke but briefly glide his hands against my back to tell me which direction we ought to go even though I can see where we are going and he knows that too. A guy complementing another guy on his nice and smooth complexion [that's my complexion he was complementing on] especially when you are in the army...I really don't wish to comment more on how a person's heart can choose to flutter to which direction... Sometimes i also don't know whether Andrea is dropping hints at me or not... the questionable questions that yield no simple answers...Love can never be as simple as 1+1=2...
Today, I was in the signal store doing re-installation of a server because some person, some guy has to be a guy, did such a bad job that error messages popped out everywhere and everything took so long to start up... Why can't people just complete a task properly and just do it once...
Booked out at 5.00pm today and waited for 30 minutes for the first shuttle bus to come. Came home ate a very oily yet scrumptious dinner that my mum bought from Alexander Village...nice food there actually...
Tired...sleepy...such an inviting bed that I have...till another time
