First post ever!

Hi all!! This is my first post on this blog ever!! =D

Let me introduce myself first. I am a student currently on a really looong holiday after high school, waiting for university to start. I wish to remain anonymous (though some people whom I know will most likely know who I am but please just keep your mouth/keyboard shut) so the introduction ends there hahaha.

I created this blog for many reasons. First and foremost, I want to maintain or even improve my English skills. I live in a country where English is not a commonly used language, but I studied overseas where English is the language commonly used. As I wrote earlier, I am on an extremely long holiday so naturally, after a number of months not using English, it starts to deteriorate (quite quickly, mind you. I am sure you can notice it even here in my short post). It is a big problem for me, as I need to maintain or even improve my English for the upcoming scholarships and universities interviews. So, if anyone happen to stumble upon my blog and have a better English proficiency than me, please point out my grammatical/expression/whatever errors I made.

There are still a lot of things I have to say as an introduction, and many more I would like to tell about my day today. However, today is a really horrible day for me. My ego takes quite a beating, making me really moody  and unable to concentrate for the whole day, ultimately making my day even worse. I may post the complete/some parts of the story here, but for now, I will just leave it here, get some sleep and forget about all this. Ciao!

Second interview: NUS ASEAN Scholarship

Hi, readers. It is quite a joy to see that my blog has reached more than 200 pageviews while I was away doing... many stuff. Perhaps, even from the first sentence, you would have noticed my... less enthusiastic tone  compared to my previous posts. Well, you guessed it, it's because of my second of the series of interview I am going to have this year did not go well.  Perhaps you are wondering, what is the big deal? You said you screwed up your SUTD interview and yet you were still offered a place there, why this time would be any different? Well, I do not know if I have told you guys this (too lazy to check on the post itself, sorry), but SUTD interview was for both admission and scholarship. While I was offered a place in SUTD, I was not offered any scholarship with the admission offer. You could say that I am satisfactory for admission, but not for scholarship. Even worse, it is possible that I am actually not satisfactory, but it is just that SUTD needs students really, really b

First interview: SUTD

Good GOD!! Today my series of universities and scholarships interviews have started and I only have 2 posts on my blog!! So, this morning is the first of the interview series, which is the SUTD Skype-based admission interview. For the benefit of those who do not know, SUTD stands for Singapore University of Technology and Design. As I heard from my friends, it is not overly formal interview where the interviewers' goal is to know me better and see whether I am fit to be in the university. There were 2 interviewers, with a handful of moderators, according to the voices I heard in the background, possibly 1-3 of them. Basically, the questions are as follows (as far as I remember): 1. Tell me more about yourself 2. What course are you going to choose if you are admitted to SUTD? 3. Do you have any role model? 4. Is it okay for you to stay in the hostel (freshmen are required to stay in their hostel for 3 terms)? 5. What, to you, is the world's challenge in technology and design? (

Of Squandering My Blessings and Courage to Fight Against My Conditioning

 Hi readers, it's been a while, as usual. And of course, I didn't (or haven't) finish my supposed multi-part story of my Thailand trip! I want to say I apologize, but then I'm not even sure if anyone is still reading this nowadays (even I don't read things in here after I posted it) so maybe there's no point to apologize since I'd be apologizing to no one lol. But anyway, another post, another melancholic(-ish) story! But don't worry, I try not to pity myself too much (I'm not in that mental state anyway, or so I think). Not sure if I shared this in my Thailand story post, but I kinda made a "wish", an "intention", to have a fruitful retreat, which happened and more, but unfortunately I'm too lazy to write it down to share here. But anyway (and also unfortunately), this post is not about that. Even though I did wish to have a fruitful retreat, not gonna lie that it took me a while to make up my mind on that wish - and one thin
