Fly me to the moon

let me play among the stars

let me see what spring is like

on Jupiter and Mars

Upcoming Graduation

It has been a pretty tough day yesterday, what with all the graduates going all around Singapore Polytechnic (my polytechnic where I'm currently working at their Student Services Office). It made me realise how fast mine would arrive. Pretty soon, I'll be off to University and trying to get a hold on the Degree that would sometimes or consistently elude me.

I feel so much sadness that 3 years has passed by so fast, as if it had never happened. There's so much that happened in this 3 years I'll never forget. Friends, Camps, Clubs and Cliques. It all comes to an end now.

I even mentioned it briefly to a friend at work and he said so smoothly as if this sort of thing doesn't concern him the least, "this is life."

Of course. Of course it is a part of life, the progress and change. Time will pass everyone by and moments slowly become distant memories. But that is what I just simply cannot accept. Those moments... I don't want to forget them. But I'm afraid, in time, I would.

I'm gripping so hard to the present that I'm terrified of moving on into the future.

NTU Acceptance

I've gotten into my chosen choice of Nanyang Technological University (NTU)! I'm actually really grateful and relieved that they sent me the acceptance email. Mainly because it was the only university I applied to.

Anyways, I received the acceptance on the 5th of May afternoon. Brenda, my friend, actually received a call from her  friend, Corine, that she had received an email acceptance from NTU and to check hers as well. Unfortunately, Brenda never received hers and I went ahead to check mine.


Once I logged in, there it was--> NTU Acceptance Outcome


I was extremely shocked and nervous, afraid to open the email. "Come, let me open it for you!" My colleague, Fiona, in the office remarked after noticing that I couldn't bring myself to open it. In the end, I opened it myself since it was my results and I couldn't let anyone else to do it for me.


Dear XXX XXX

Thank you for your application. Your application number is PFXXXXXXX. The outcome of your admission application is available here (hyperlinked).

..... (continued email)



Apparently, I had to access my status website before I could find out if I was in. TSK! and here I thought that they would reveal whether I was in or out via email.

As I accessed the website, I realised that the laptop I had with me did not have the saved password to access my status. Mainly because I easily forget passwords to websites I don't frequent. It took about 10 minutes before I was able to access my website but the anticipation had kind of died down since it took that long to find out (not just for me but my colleagues as well, SO EMBARRASSING!). HAHAHA

Then there it was....

I GOT IN! I GOT DAMN FREAKING IN!

Of course I'm not that ecstatic because it's not a passion of mine to go into journalism or anything like that but it's at least another step towards the unknown. What I'm going to do from here on out is take it one step at a time, somehow things will work out and I'd know what I need to do with my life. So for now, NTU it is. I hope I survive :)
