When Silence Is No Longer Golden

Hey readers!! Firstly, I would like to apologize for, once again, not keeping my promise of writing about my third interview, which was with Ecquaria. I initially wanted to, really. However, there is a really good news that I just do not want to miss a single day to tell the world. Three guesses.. never mind. I am offered the NUS ASEAN Scholarship!!!! =) Don't ask me how I got it. You saw for yourself how I screwed up that interview , really badly. Nevertheless, an offer is an offer, so let us (anyone?) rejoice for my success!!! Actually, now I feel obliged to go back to the temple I mentioned on that post as well, just to show my thanks, if my success is really due to some kind of divine intervention. I need to remind myself to go there if I go back to Singapore. By the way, I would like to apologize for my last post because as it gets increasingly difficult to read as you read more of it. That is because I did it at night (well, all of my post was written at night) and I was rea

Hi readers/passer-bys!!! It is really amazing how my blog's pageview always increases tremendously whenever I am away and increases ever so slowly whenever I am actively posting (like once every two days or so). I am pretty sure I only left this blog in less than a week, yet the pageview has exceeded 400! Anyway, I am sure you have noticed how obsessed I am with pageviews. Maybe that number somewhat fulfills my ego as a person to be famous, or accepted, at least. You know, people my age are rather crazy for... being accepted. Especially if you happen to fall at the lower end of the social strata. The thing is, we never really know in which social stratum we fall into. You may think that you are at the lower end though your friends actually think you are somewhere in the middle or maybe slightly higher. Or the other way round. Anyway, I am not going to give you any advice on socializing, since I am having a problem in socializing myself. Well, I believe I have told you in previous p

Hi readers! I am quite sure some of you followers of my blog (if any; I doubt there is any, actually) are rather confused for the seemingly not-linked chain of events happening in my blog. For example, just 2 posts ago I wrote about being employed without knowing the job description and complaining, but on the next post I was talking about my second interview. Well, that is because there is a gap, duh. I do not have time in between to fill you guys in because, well, I do not have the time. I've got a job, and my scholarship interviews are just around the corner. Anyway, now that I have the time, I would fill you guys in what is actually happening in between, and more. Maybe the first question comes to your mind is, "You said you've got a job and no time, how can you post this, then? Not to mention that it is in the middle of the week!" Well, I have a good answer for that. I asked for leave for indefinitely from 8th May onward. Wow, you may remark, what a kind and unde

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

Readers, if you have been wondering what I am doing daily, since I never posted anything about my daily lives, I am going to tell you now. As you may have read in my first post, I just graduated from high school, and is in a long holiday before going to university. It begs the question: how do I spend the time waiting for university to start? Well, to be honest, I do feel like quite a slacker; I did not get any permanent job, go for some guitar or coding classes or whatever to make my holiday, so called, "a time well-spent". How on Earth, then, do I spend my holiday? Actually, as it turns out, the long holiday may have its busy periods in between. As I have written earlier, this month (May) is going to be one of the busiest month of the holiday as it is when scholarship interviews likely to take place, so my days were (yes, WERE) spent preparing for commonly asked question, aside from my daily dose of coding lesson from www.codecademy.com  (try it, if you are interested to st
