Yes I know I am popular. And pretty. And smart. I am 大明星 in making. Muahahaha!

Yesterday I sent the all-important form A to NUS and I truly felt relieved to hear the thud as the envelope went into the box (whatever you call it). Honestly speaking all this while I felt surreal that I'm going to NUS instead, changing my course that kinda thing. But now! Everything is finalised.

Plus the NUS people said it's ok to get the medical report from NTU and send it over to NUS! Woohoo! And the medical checkup at NTU is cheaper than the one at NUS, so I 赚到. Hehehe.

Recently besides playing my Sims (my Sim got herself burnt while lighting those firecrackers btw and she ended up with a 爆炸 hair haha), I've been faithfully watching 換換愛 every Monday:



Basically the TV company got the same actors (the main leads) and production crew (I think) for 惡魔在身邊 to produce 換換愛, but it's not a sequel to 惡魔 lah. I liked 惡魔在身邊 very much when I watched it in Taiwan so it prompted me to give 換換愛 a try since the main leads are the same.

換換愛 is about this love triangle among these 4 people: Rainie who acts as a very poor girl, Kingone aka 傳一 who is this very princely, gentlemanly GM of this shopping mall which is under his dad's huge business empire, Mike who is Kingone's younger brother, and who is very 霸道, mean and zek ark, and Judy, who is a 千金 and works alongside with Kingone. The plot, like most Taiwanese dramas, is quite predictable.

A sidenote though: Judy cannot act! She has no facial expression at all and she can't even speak properly. It's quite a pain to hear her speak, she's not fluent and her pronunciation is -_-. No one knows much about Judy though, though there are rumours that she's a Japanese and that's why her Mandarin is not so good. Some even say she's Jacky Wu's daughter, the one who supposedly will be involved in some Taiwanese shows according to the media. But whatever. I don't like her.

I was a little disappointed with 換換愛's first episode though, because it wasn't as nice as I thought it would be. But it got better as the show progresses and things become more interesting, and now I can't wait for the next episode to be up on youtube! 賀軍翔 is very funny in the show, and his quarrels with Rainie are also damn hilarious cos the things they say and do when they quarrel are very silly. Plus Kingone and Mike are shuai. Hahaha.

換換愛 is not a bad show generally, so go watch it when you have the time!

Now I can't wait for Harry Potterrrrr! Both the movie and the book. Though it will be quite sad now that we've come to the last book :( I don't want Harry to die.

Hello all.

I've decided to take up NUS law instead, after 3 days of being caught in a dilemma. I was so confused and all that I couldn't sleep at all on Saturday, and in the end a pimple appeared on my face. Damn!

Truth is that I didn't apply for law in the first place and I changed my mind after that cos I felt that I deserve something better...there's this nagging thought that I won't feel justified if I just chose fass straightaway. There's nothing wrong with going fass of course, but that was just how I felt.

This law application ended up with me going for the stupid test and interview. At first I didn't tell anyone about this at all, cos somehow I was feeling insecure and paiseh, so I dun feel comfortable letting people know lah. But in the end of course I told only like a less-than-handful of people. Not that I dun trust my other friends, it's somewhat of a psychological prob I had. And I'm not sneaky as well :(

Seeing how I fooled thru the interview and test, of course I got rejected by law. I won't say the rejection didn't affect me at all. I was disappointed, and mainly disappointed with myself cos I didn't treasure this rare chance given to me. Imagine the number of people who would want to have this opportunity which I kinda wasted. So there's this tiny regret. Sometimes I found myself thinking, "I could be part of them." And since law didn't want a pretty girl like me, I didn't tell everyone that I went for law...I dun see the point.

So I pretty much prepared for my mass comm life in NTU, though not having minsi as my roomie anymore was a major bummer. It's like suddenly I dun quite look forward to uni life that kind of thing. Look at how important you are to me darling minsee! Haha. So anyway I began to accept that I gonna be part of NTU, going to study there, etc etc. And when I got my freshmen package, it's like everything is more or less confirmed and settled.

And then this is when some greater powers up there decided to play a major prank on me. On Friday right after I did my med checkup at NTU (It cost me 25 bucks! Damn ex), I realised I got a missed call from NUS. Of course I didn't know it was NUS then lah. I presumed it was some wrong number and didn't bother to call back. The next time the person called, I didn't answer the phone again. I guess this was when the person buay tahan and called my house and told me the new offer they gonna give me.

My mind was in a complete blank then, and the first thing I said to her was "Oh my god". Haha. Then obviously I asked her when do I have to reply her, what about my admission to NTU that kinda standard thing. But after I ended the call, this was what went through my mind.

"I went for NTU med checkup liao and it cost me 25 bucks! Why did NUS call me so late! Wait till after I went for the checkup then call me! My money how? Can ask NUS to refund me the money as compensation? Can ask NTU to send my report over to NUS?"

Then I realised I sound like one of those Starhub customers. Ee yer. Hahahahaha.

So naturally I was caught in a MAJOR dilemma cos both courses are appealing in their own ways. I asked many people for advice, and of course it's passion vs practicality. I thought maybe I'll dream of an answer but I didn't dream of anything at all! I even resorted to those online magic 8 ball, but the answers it gave me were utter rubbish.

To a certain point I even suspected that it was actually a prank call that I received from some evil people, and they probably hacked into the person's email or something to email me so I won't suspect a thing. And then I won't get into any uni! So today when I called and spoke to the person again, I asked her if this offer is still on. I wanted to tell her I thought someone is playing a prank on me, but decided not to. Cos this will make me sound very stupid.

Anyway.

My parents didn't tell me what they want me to study, cos they said ultimately it's up to me. They told me to make my own decision. My brother told me if I become a lawyer I will be murdered by the criminals whom I put to jail previously. Then after that he told me whatever I choose in the end I'll still be murdered anyway.

When I realised I have this new offer I admit that I was more inclined towards law, but I dun want to give up mass comm either. I think I'm quite a practical person actually. I spoke to my parents yesterday night about this, and even though they told me to make my own decision, I could see my dad's answer in our conversation. He would prefer me to go to law. Actually I think my mum too, but just that she didn't say. So when I told my dad this morning I accepted the law offer, he was quite happy. I can hear him smiling. Haha.

After 3 days of thinking and thinking and weighing the pros and cons, I decided to go ahead with law. Don't ask me why, I can't really explain it myself and give a concrete answer. So now all I ask is to give me your support and not ask any questions that seem to doubt my decision. Though my friends are quite supportive so far haha. This is a big kiss for you all. MUACK.

So now you all can't say I'm stupid anymore! Because I'm good enough to let them put me on the waiting list and decide that I have the calibre for their course, even though I think I'm waaaaaaaaaaay far behind on the list. Muahahahahaha. I'm just joking.

So now I've made my choice, I will fight on and pull thru the next 4 years. No regrets! I will endure all the shit I'm going to face and perservere. 加油! =D

I think this is the most coherent entry I've written so far. And one of the longest too. Haha. Remember to watch Campus Superstar today!

Just when I'm more or less settled and prepared, heavens decided to drop a humongous bomb on me. I'm really caught off guard and I honestly dunno what to do now.

Maybe the greater powers up there think that my life is too boring, which is why they decided to add some spice to it. Thanks alot man.

Sigh.

Woohoo!!!

I've gotten my freshman package finally!!! At least now it's confirmed that I'm going to be in NTU for the next 4 years. Previously I was worried that my uni admission thingy won't be recorded or something cos of something silly I did haha. But the lovely package still came to me today woohoo!

Looking thru the package has really got me excited about uni life. There are so many things to do, so many things to expect! I'm quite looking forward to this new phase of my life actually. New friends, new surroundings etc etc. And I'm taking the course which I have always wanted to! Hopefully my liking for the course won't die off or something in the next few years. Haha.

Plus all the cards we need to apply for! Makes everything seem so important and official. Actually the application for the cards got me really happy and excited haha I have no idea why. And we can have our concession ezlink cards again! No more feeling sad cos public transport takes away so much of our allowance anymore haha.

The package is nice enough to enclose a map of the campus as well and guess what they actually have a playground! Hahahaha. And there's 7-11 and Popular bookstore too. Next time we can meet up and have a picnic by the lake or something. And the map misspelt 'construction'.

Guess I'm getting a little siao. Hahaha.

For some unknown reason, I think this girl over here looks like Hu Pan:


Haha. This is so random!

I must say, this whole thing about finding a new roommate is driving me nuts. Because by this time everyone would have probably found their respective roommates already. It simply sucks to do everything all over again so last minute. Rawr. This is damn frustrating.

Of course worse comes to worse I'll stay with someone I dunno, but I reckon it's still better to stay with your friend, no? That's what everyone is doing anyway, finding people they know to stay with them.

But there is still a small possibility that they will assign me to stay with a shuai ge. Haha. That would be nice.

I dunno if I'm overreacting or something, but I find this whole issue of not being able to find a roommate quite a big deal. So it irritates me greatly when others treat it in a light-hearted manner.

Guess I have to keep finding people and asking them. Bleah. Jiayou!
