hmmmm

i've just realised that maybe i've botched up my application.
damn.
instead of applying as undergrad, i should have applied postgrad.
then again, if i did apply as postgrad, i'd prob have to submit some graduation cert or something.
so undergrad yah?

so if that's the case, then the uni is seriously f---ed up.
i asked whether i could take a postgrad module, and they said yes. that was wayyyyyy back in january.
now in aug, they tell me i cant. WTF!!!!!!!

so, nus has graciously allowed me to take a lower grad module, aka a pri 6 taking a pri 5 subject. 0_0""
but .. that's kinda dumb right? so course registration is going to start on 1sept, and i really really hope i can get the module i want..

SOMEONE PRAY FOR MEEEE!!!!
and i hope mr professor in charge would be so understanding and the admin would be flexible enough to let an undergrad take a postgrad module.

typing away in the university library now,
the sun is seriously scorching..
there arent as many big trees in singapore..

had several welcome speeches in the morning..
the main message was simply, "since you're here, make the best out of it! try things that you wouldn't normally do back home, just make sure it's legal.'

haha.. well lemme see.. there's this rural teaching thingy going on in zengcheng, teaching pri sch students english. of course i gotta pay for my visa and stuff...
hmm what else is there. i've already lived alone in mongkok even though lots of people say it's craps..
i've ventured around in school (though not exactly everywhere) by myself.
i've been to shatin (errr the shopping ctr) myself though it's enormously big..
well, whatever comes my way, i'll just react to it i guess :)

i'm quite surprised by myself that i'm quite ok being alone..
i guess when mr teo is there i tend to switch to 'dependent-mode'
it's sorta 'survival-mode' here, if you're like really shy, then you wont get much things done..
pretty interesting actually..
campus food is really horrible.. the rice portion is HUGE, like a whole mound of rice on your typical dinner plate, with equally enormous amts of meat / veg.
it's great if the food tastes good, but it's usually too oily, too salty, too starchy ( i think this is the killer)..
imagine if your food tastes like goo in your mouth.. :X the rice was like little soft beads.. yetch

talking about food now makes me real hungry.. i've got another meeting / seminar / talk to attend in 15mins, so i'll just end off here.. ta!!!
