When Silence Is No Longer Golden

Hey readers! Finally I am able to fulfill my promise to post about my third interview with Ecquaria! Are you surprised? Perhaps, since it is the first time I actually fulfilled my promise for posting something... One takeaway from this event is that procrastination is bad. I mean, I failed to fulfill my promise to post about introduction and Skyrim because I keep procrastinating. As a result, more events come along the way and I feel more compelled to write about the more recent ones. Returning readers (if any) will realize that I have been away for quite some time. Well, after this third interview, I fell sick a few days after. After I recovered, I went back to work and thus less time to spend doing other things. I took some days off again and thus now I am able to update my blog again. Anyway, let us not waste another moment (aka procrastinate) and get to the main story. On that day, I was feeling more confident than on the day of my previous interview , mainly because I was better p...

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! 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, rea...

Hi all!! Finally, some more news about my university and scholarship applications!! I am so excited I am not even sure which one I should tell you first!! Maybe the less exciting one: after a really, really, REALLY long time, finally NTU (Nanyang Technological University - Singapore, for the benefit of those who do not know) offers me a place there! Well, actually not officially, yet. They have not notified me by e-mail, SMS, or whatever yet, but I checked the Joint Admission Website (Singaporeans will know) and instead of the two offers I have gotten so far, I saw three!! Please don't comment about me using Vista and all. I bought this comp about 4 years ago Maybe you are wondering, why I emphasized the long waiting time in such a way, or maybe you are not, and just think that I am just exaggerating or something. Well, as a start, I am NOT exaggerating, unless you think waiting for news since January until today is not too long of a time, especially when you hear your friends hav...
