hihi peeps! i'm back! yep! back from korea! the cold land that is not english friendly.. the place with cultures vastly different from singapore's and yet i could see tinges of singapore everywhere.. :) have to write a journal about the trip and hand it in to Mr Kan.. although i kept a 40 page long journal, i've gotta condense it and remove some parts.. look out for it cos i'm gonna post it here too! haha.. i sound like some.. salesman.. bleahs.. once again, i feel that i've grown a lot.. much more independent than the baorong in jc.. korea taught me to rely on myself.. coming back home was such a great feeling.. i could almost imagine how those who always work overseas would feel when they touch down and first step onto the ground of singapore.. that feeling is so warm and exhilirating.. i was on such a high.. home is indeed where the heart is.. no matter how far you like to roam.
cambridge doesn't want me.. ok.. not that they don't want me.. just that i'm referred to the inter-college pool.. hopefully some other kind college wants lousy me.. yeah.. haha.. surprisingly, i did not cry.. even though my greatest wish was to enter cambridge.. guess i am just hanging on to the slimmest possibility that i will be accepted through the pool.. the real blow will come when i get rejected by the pool.. sigh.. don't wanna think of it.. congrats to audry, jiahui, selene and wang ning.. they got accepted by their respective colleges :) Congrats peeps! (though they won't get to read this.. haha)
another part of being independent comes from being separated from wang.. yep.. he's in army.. foxtrot company.. the day i sent him off to tekong wasn't teary or emotional.. i'm quite unfeeling.. haha.. army treats people better than outward bound does la! haha.. ok perhaps not.. we don't get addressed as cao recruits or maggots.. bleahs.. its quite sad that the phone doesn't beep anymore.. no one messages me except him.. how pathetic is that.. :( owells..
and i haven't gotten a job yet.. not even a tuition assignment.. quite sad.. i'm just living off my parents now.. but i haven't got a choice.. i'm leaving for london ALONE at 1.10am on 13th.. back on 23rd i think.. for my interview.. ONE interview.. the air tix is so ex.. i hope the other unis give me their reply soon.. so that i can go for all the interviews at one shot.. and not have to fly down another time.. burn money.. :( quite happy that i get to fly a lot this hols.. London's another experience for me to be independent.. sigh sigh.. though i much prefer to go with people.. bleahz..
think i'm complaining a lot.. bleahs.. that's me man.. now i've gotta settle the thousand of things i need to settle.. ciao! happy new year! (and did i tell u guys i got to watch the first sunrise of 2005 at a mountain peak 1.9km above sea level together with tonnes of other koreans? heh.. )
