The Shrine Of The Heart

Finally...The postman's letter has arrived...

I've received my orientation package a full three weeks later than the rest of my friends...I was very k.c. about the whole issue and even PERSONALLY made my way down to the Office Of Admissions ( in the far-flung galaxy of the Faculty of Engineering in Kent Ridge) to ask for my package...I was told to "go home and be patient" by a sudoku-obsessed office minion.

I ripped upon the package and eventually understood why I received it so ^&*%ing late...

I got a place in the Double Honours Programme! Woohoo!

As of today, I am a Business student as well...Law and Business...Sounds not bad right? haha...Well, there are certain pros and cons to this unexpected outcome...

Pros:

1) Most important pro is the chance to meet chio bus from Business fac...haha

2) And I get to eat the delish Yong Tau Foo@ The Deck when I go to the Kent Ridge Campus for my business modules...

3) 2-for-1 degrees! The best thing since Canadian 2-for-1 pizza started its 2-for-1 gimmick!

4) I get to slack in NUS for one more year when all my friends are struggling in the workforce...5 year programme what...

cons:

1) I get to slack in NUS for one more year when all my friends are earning money in the workforce...5 year programme what...

2) Life sucks when you have to shuttle back and forth between Kent Ridge and Bukit Timah campus for your lessons...

3) The modules are designed to drive even the most hardcore muggers crazy...That's why they chose only 25 out of 600 plus applicants for this programme...easier for them to cover up if all of us go mad...can u imagine a faculty with 600 mad people?! Bedlam in Bukit Timah!

4) I have to take some Math related electives...Maybe I should get Ah Tham to give me tuition as well...Hahaha!

Anyway, have you guys seen the latest NUS Business School ads on TV?
OMG...The one that I buay tahan the most is the one with the two ang mohs raving about NUS...* goosebumps* Come on lar, it's so so staged and fake lor! I mean, ok, we are all happy we got into NUS...but is there a need to get so high? The girl's *giggles* make me doubt her sanity...maybe they will find something wrong with her mind during the medical examination and kick her out...haha

I am being pestered incessantly by N.! This is very bad...I thought I shook her off when I gave her a fake hp no...but apparently I've been suffering from bad karma recently...She saw me at Amara shopping centre...and I was not quick enough to run away...Eventually, she got her claws on my real number because my skimpy attempts at evasion failed to shake her off...Some people just can't read the signs...I predict unwelcome visitations very soon...Maybe I was really at the wrong spot at the wrong time...maybe I should have just pretended to be mute when she came to talk to me at the bar that time...or at least deaf...Haiz...I don't mean to be rude...but she can't expect herself to be the core of my universe! Especially since I don't even know her well...

J. has been abrasive of late...PMS= Permanent Menstrual Stress? Work is taking a toll on her appearance and moods...I predict that she will grow old very fast and become even more volatile as time goes by...When I first got to know her, she was an Angel...Now that work is starting to pile up and deadlines are looming in the horizon, I am starting to catch a glimpse of a pair of horns and a permanent scowl...It's getting increasingly hard to talk to her and it's even harder to arrange to meet up...26 is too old for puberty and too young for menopause...I wonder what's eating her...maybe she just needs more time and space.

Met R. while clubbing last night...Asked her why she changed her hair colour from red to black ( Contrary to what she thinks, I am firmly of the opinion that we have no common topic AT ALL so I try to ensure that our conversations centre on the obvious and shallower topics:)

R: " Cuz I wanna be a gooooood gurl!" (fake, cute smile)

I nearly puked. But i must say that black makes her look less like the daughter of Ronald Macdonald...Really hoping that term starts at Curtin asap so I won't keep on bumping into her every time I hit the dance floor...we talked about some bo liao topics over a couple of drinks...I hate it when weird people like R. creep up behind me just when I am about to impress a pretty girl and then act like that they are damn chummy with me...It ruins all hopes of ever hooking up with Miss Right...

Saw H. too! OMG she was sooo hot!!!! How can a princess like her have a boyfriend who looks like a Chimpanzee and acts like a Bonobo!? Appalling manners, poor hygiene and licentiousness seem to be his main character traits...Looks like I will have to rescue the beautiful damsel in distress from the maw of the dragon! Muuahahahahaha... At least that's what his breath smells like...H. intro-ed me to her galpal Gina...who's not a bad person...kind, humble and gentle...great to talk to.

Packing up for my Beijing trip...going to the Great Wall Of China! Also taking a trip to The Forbidden City ( What exactly is forbidden there!?) and The Summer Palace...Going to taste Peking duck at Quanjude and go clubbing at Houhai!!!! Really excited...No money though...gotta raise more funds for the trip.

Well, better enjoy myself before school starts...somehow, I feel like Persephone...about to tdescend to the Underworld...Sigh...
