I just found out online that I got accepted into FASS!
Which means that I got rejected by law!
Which means that I got rejected by things that required interviews!
Which means that I really suck at interviews!
It isn't really surprising because I prefer writing down my thoughts instead of verbalising them, and I can only speak well when I'm talking to people whom I'm comfortable with.
I'm kinda happy that I got accepted to FASS and not law! It's dumb but I placed law as my first choice because of my parents. And also because I can. Just to try. Which is also probably why I didn't feel very stressed at the interview. (I only panicked when I missed the bus stop and was trying to find my way there. Plus it was super hot. And I thought I was gonna be late since my interview was supposed to be at 12.) I guess I didn't really want it that badly so I just went there and said some silly things which made the professors laugh. Twice.
Anyway, now I have to make a choice. Communication Studies at NTU or FASS at NUS? I can't decide.
Oh yeah I don't know what's with all the hype over the General Elections but it's finally over! They announced the results already. My dad switched on the TV and my mum and sis woke up to listen to the news as well. It was so boring because as usual, the PAP wins almost everything. WP won 6 seats. So really, I don't get why everyone seemed so agitated this year. (Maybe only people in Aljunied GRC should be lah. It was the main focus of the GE and I think it's the first time an opposition has won a GRC.)

Crap.
Brief updates (in sequence of the events that happened):
- The week after getting our results, I went for the NTU open house with Justin, Yingwei and Lynn. Went for the NUS one the next day but with Justin, Xueying and Daniel.
- Planned for our Langkawi/KL trip with Nureen, KK, Alvin and Shaun! Went to Alvin's house after the NUS open house, and KK's the next day after work.
- Celebrated Yingwei's birthday with the clique at Shokudo! All 7 of us were able to come. Yay! Watched Rango after lunch.
- Celebrated Daniel's birthday at JP's Ambush after work with Elena, Yingwei and Justin. Xueying came but left early.
- LANGKAWI/KL TRIP WAS SUPER FUN! I don't think I need to elaborate on this one. The photos uploaded on Facebook say it all :D
- Came back to Singapore for one day. Spent it with Gay and we played badminton together.
- Genting trip with Xueying, Lloyd and Zhenxiang. I love the rides at the theme park, especially Space Shot! And the weather was nice. We could touch the clouds.
- Got this stupid cough from Xy! :(
- Watched Hop with Gay Justin and had Crystal Jade for dinner.
- Cough was getting better but then it developed into a flu. Must've gotten it from Gay.
- Did not go to work for a few days because I was sick and because I had to attend the NUS law interview. I waited an hour for my turn and it was funny because the dude told me to wait at my seat and that they'll come to get me, instead of me going over to them. The professors felt bad for making me wait! Haha so cute. They were nice but I totally sucked at answering their questions.
- Watched Limitless, Rio and Thor with KK.
- Had the NUS law written test in the morning, which was really difficult. And the invigilator had the cheek to say something like, "Not to give you any pressure, but there are 700 excess people here." Wow, thanks for the encouragement. I didn't plan to join the guys because I suck at cycling but ZJ and KK were persuading me after the test so I went home for lunch and then met them plus Paul, JS, Shaun and Bryant at BB. Went to Pulau Ubin to cycle and I didn't die because KK rode the two-man bicycle with me! JS fell down but I had plasters. Oh yeah it was kinda funny that my mother was so worried that she wanted me to bring a helmet.
- I totally screwed up my NTU scholarship interview and I got rejected already. But they break the news to you very nicely in the e-mail by saying, "In view of the large number of competent candidates and limited number of scholarships available, we regret to advise that we are unable to consider you for a scholarship." I felt bad because my parents were so happy when I told them that I was going for the interview. And because I wasted Ms Nura's time in getting to fill up the referral thing. But hello? They asked me weird things like "What's your X-factor?" Omg. As if praising myself through the scholarship essay wasn't bad enough. It took up so much of my time. Jeez. Oh, but at least the interview was held at my workplace. So I just went to work as usual and went for the interview after lunch.
- Attended the NTU Communication Studies Pre-Admission Reception at Conrad Contennial Hotel with Elena after work. The hotel was super pretty, the service was good and the food was delicious. Especially the cakes. Oh wait, that's not the point. The presentations were cool and it made me feel like I should totally go to Comm Studies! But I'm still wondering if I should accept the offer because NUS hasn't gotten back to me.
- Went to town with Yw and Xy! Walked around before having dinner at Thai Express. We went to the one in Heeren so it was pretty empty. And I have no idea why, but we just kept laughing about everything. We also found out that "sa-nook" meant "the enjoyment of life", according to the waiter whom we asked.
- Shopped for KK's present with Nureen at JP after work!
- Had dinner at Laselle with Justin, Yw, Elena, Xy and Daniel.
- My last day of work was on Tuesday. Yw and I helped out because there was an event - some talk by Prof Smale at the school of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Yw said it's good that my workplace has no bitchy people and that everyone's so nice. She was really enthusiastic about helping them with some workshop for a week but I don't know if I should. My job gets boring. But it's true that the people (Xiaohong, Alex, Meijing, Kel, OKK and his aunt) are nice.
- Have been slacking at home for the past 3 days. I have absolutely nothing to do right now.
