House Again

 It is really hard to make a decision when you don't know what's your destination is looking like. This Aurea thing, on paper is really great. I just feel like it's not what I want.

For many people, getting a house is a big milestone of their life, something that they would naturally want to celebrate. I can't feel the same with this Aurea thing I'm about to get. It feels more like a burden, yet another object I obtain that is of high price and value, but means nothing to me personally. How can this be? Am I just depressed???

I guess there's really no amount of logic and soundness on paper can change how one feels about something. It's really the luxury feel of it that makes it feel really off. One thing is that, my own family is not even living like that. How can I live in a golden cage eating out of silver platter when my family is still trying to save on air tickets, hotels, etc? It's not like they're living in poverty, but they're definitely still much more concerned about finances than I do.

Maybe I can ask for Mom's permission first. If she gives her blessing, maybe it'll feel more alright...

Anyway, if I do really get it, what can I do to make it a blessing to others?

  • Invite parents and siblings to stay over
  • Invite friends and family to enjoy the facility

Actually, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough at the rich people in DAYWA. Kaylee is definitely quite well-off, with the things she has in her house. But she still lives in HDB nevertheless. Xuan and Angela is likely also doing well (at least Xuan's parents are definitely rich), though they seem to be somewhat struggling financially, but they seem to be ok with it since the mortgage weight is a consequence of a deliberate decision they made.

Let's say if Tim is going off on his own too, that means I'mma look for a place to stay myself, or look for other housemates. What kind of house would I look for?

Yeah, so either I get this thing now, or apply SG citizenship now and get a resale HDB at 35...

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? (...

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, rea...

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...
