NTU just sent me a letter of acceptance.. That effectively means I got into all the courses I applied for, since I only applied for two. Lol. No NUS for me. I don't like the school building. Its so old.. gives me the AJ feel. Haha. And I tried the food already. Don't want to go through 4 years more of such food XD
NTU is sooo far. SMU then?? 2 May ~ 2 June. Acceptance of offers. I better not forget that date range.

Right. So I am at home writing a blog entry while I am supposed to be engaged in some strenous activity like SOC or doing some ST on Tekong right now.
The reason is cos I am on Attend C status. Its a medical status, and it basically means that I am unfit for duties, thus I got sent home. Attend C is the highest medical status, which probably means there must be something bad enough to happen to me for me to get that status.
Let's just say that I bested all my previous records with a high fever, and medics couldn't bring my fever down after spending 2 days on a drip in the sickbay.
It was like.. everyone that was already there when I went in had left, and I was still there. And some who came in later than me, then left, and yet I was still there. Lol.
My status will drop to Attend B on Wednesday morning, which means I am fit for light duties. This means I have to report back to camp on Wednesday morning.
The con is that I will be missing a total of 6 days of activities, which means 12 physical activities in total and maybe another 10+ activities slotted in between those 12. I don't think I will ever be able to catch up. Sigh.
Hope I recover by tommorow morning!

I took my SMU interview today. Had to crawl out of bed at 6:40am to ensure that I made it to the SIS on time.
I reached almost exactly at 8.10am. When I reached the waiting room together with the rest of the interviewees on my slot, we were told that the preparation for the interview was one hour long o.O
Lol. And i thought it was just a quick chat there and that's about it. Well so they briefed us through some stuffs.. introduced us to SIS and etc.
We were given some interesting questions to prepare for the interview. I found estimation questions rather interesting.
So after one hour(which passed rather quickly), we began the interview with 2 professors.
Shan't elaborate much about the interview.. Except that it was fun and entertaining. Haha. I know more about this Business IT idea now.. Gonna take it into serious consideration. Cos in terms of location, its much more convenient for me than NTU.
Its much more expensive though. Shall see if I did well at the interview first. Haha. Awaiting the interview results in May...

5 days, 11 hours and 34 minutes left.
That's how much time I have left before I go for NS.
Its only just a bit more before I can count my remaining days on one hand. Haha.
I retired from my first job on Monday. Somehow, everyone told me I couldn't retire, though I wished that I could just retire like that. There's still a long way to go.
I finally decided to apply for the School of Informative Science at SMU on Monday. Its basically Business and IT, which I find very fascinating. And SMU is really very efficient. They called me today to inform me that I had been shortlisted for an interview for the SIS. I arranged with them for the interview to take place on Monday, and the time was like 8.30am. Sigh. That means I have to wake up super early next Monday.
Anyway all SMU applicants will be interviewed if they are shortlisted so I have nothing much to cheer about yet(maybe except that they are going to interview me early enough). Wonder if I should take accounting or Business IT assuming I get offered 2 positions.
Both are good choices.. but accounting = NTU = Boon Lay = not very close to Bishan = < 1.5 hours travel time
I should find out more about the prospects of studying Business IT first. Accountants are in high demand, that's for sure. But I don't even know what Business IT students work as. They did say that such graduates are widely demanded, but I dunno abt the statistics. Maybe I will find out more at the interview next Monday.
Alright. Cheers to 5 days of freedom left. Anyone else applied SIS or NTU accountancy?
