Busy week again. As per normal. Work in school is never ending. Apart from teaching my 4 classes, now I have to compile JC2 revision exercise. I used to think that I'm quite good at using microsoft words, until they asked me to compile. Haha. It's a frightening thing. Hahaha. Stayed back in school till at least 5pm everyday. YawnzzZ. But lucky the staffroom is far from boring. Haha. I got all my fellow reliefs seating nearby and my always entertaining Mrs Tag and Mrs Leong as my neighbouring colleagues. Haha. I actually don't mind doing all the work!=D
On Friday, I finally had my Velu's Curry! It's at Eunos CC. It's quite ulu so if not for Wahidah and Theen Yew I probably would not be able to find the place. Omg the Naan plus Gobi Manchurian and Brinjah was IMBA! Hahaha. Love it to bits. Oh and the Lassi was good too! Hmm.. I should be going back soon! Hahaha.
Oh and my scholarship contract finally arrived on Friday as well. And I tell you I was appalled by the NUS's OAM. They sent the letter out on 29th April and expect me to reply on 1 May, which is a public holiday! It's damn stupid. But thankfully the chairman of GEP emailed me earlier in the afternoon to assure me that the OAM's at fault and extended my deadline to next week. But whatever the case, I faxed my contract over on Friday already, and my mum was so kan cheong that she sent it by mail too yesterday. Haha. Anyway, the conditions for GEP is quite scary, but at the same time, very attractive. I need to maintain a CGPA of 4.5 at the end of year 3! Quite ridiculous. I cannot afford anything less than an A minus. *Sighs*. And I need to complete within 3 years, which includes a 1 year compulsory student exchange programme, and I need to continue with a post-graduate programme, both in one of NUS's partner universities, which are as follows:
-Massachusetts Institute of Technology
-Standford University
-University of California - Berkley
-California Institute of Technology
-University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign
-Cornell University
-University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
-University of Cambridge
Their condition is that I have to complete my master's in any one of the above universities in 1 year, which is damn scary coz they are all elites in the field of Science and Technology. And I need to qualify for the course by my own merit. Gosh. The next couple of years will be a hell of a time for me. (In a good way or not, only god knows.) All these terms and conditions are already freaking me out. The only consolation is that everything is free - school fees, living allowances, computer allowances, overseas allowances, etc. So once school starts in August, my only job will be to study my life away, and not anything else. Haha. But my life will be pretty interesting I guess. I will spend years 1 and 3 in Singapore, and years 2 and 4 overseas - it will be a great experience for me. I'm looking at exchanging in Europe coz then, I get to tour Europe! And probably vincent, joe and ming wang would be in London so I can chio them along for a holiday or two! Hahaha. As for my master's, I will be aiming for MIT, but lets just see how it goes! Haha. UC Berkley is fine with me too! =D
This weekend's freaking busy for me, despite it being a long weekend. Yesterday was my neighbour's house warming party and their kid's 1st birthday! Haha. So yupz, went over to his house for some good malay food for lunch. Not long after that, I had to go over to my other neighbour's house for Mother's Day celebration dinner! Gosh all the food is killing me. Haha. And I missed lots of my TV programmes! Haha. How I wish my day was longer than 24 hrs!
Gonna celebrate Maurice's birthday later at Vivo with the Army guys. And we're gonna watch Ironman 2! Woohoo! Haha. And tmr gonna sing k with john, ye wei and li si. Haha. It's gonna be an activity-packed weekend for me. So that's all for now.=D
