As I begin to prepare myself for the last education phase in life, I am flooded with many thoughts that are making my life miserable. The process of mugging so hard just to secure a placing in university seems to be tough but rumours heard suggest that university life is tougher.
I have taken my Qualifying English Test last Monday. Having stop writing an essay for 2 years plus makes it difficult for me to produce a piece of quality essay. I have tried my very best though, flipping through some JC GP notes one day before the test. I just hope I will be in Band 3 that doesn't require to do extra modules.
Reality slaps me from my confused and ignorant mind. Its quite cruel that its time to grab your pens and books and start to study. Life is JC has been quite taxing as time is always running out. The curriculum is quite tough to handle. I just hope university is manageable.
School starts also represent that end of freedom. Life after ORD is really awesome. I can do anything I want, sleeping till an hour that will allow me to have adequate rest for the day, meet as many friends as I want, go on a holiday, work and make new friends. It simply one of the best phase this 21 years of life.
Well, life is a process. There ought to be ups and downs. Looking on the brighter side, university life can be interesting as well.
Gonna enjoy my last weekend before school starts. Till then....

As the clock tickles, my heartbeat seems to move faster. It feels like time is getting faster and faster year after year with the emerging society. This has an impact on me both directly and indirectly. I am starting to feel the pressure.
Let me side track a little. Last week was one of the most fulfilling days for me so far this year. Its my annual trip overseas and this time round its Bangkok. This is the second time I have been there and things have changed a bit, at least for the better. Mechandise sold is promising at a relatively low price. The outfits are fantastic and is dirt cheap. I felt like I have bought the whole Bangkok back.
Going on an overseas with the second group of friends seems interesting. Unfortunately, there ought to be grievances and disapproval to each other's idea. We have tried our best to tone it down to the minimum and I am pleased in the overall trip. Free lodging and meals from my friend's friend. Really wanna thank him for that.
Thai language seems easy to speak if practised frequently. I personally love the way they talk. The food too, its awesome. Sour and spicy is one of my favourite combination now. Tom Yam Goong is really nice over there. Nice food, nice people, cheap shopping mechandise and low transport cost makes me wanna go there once every year. I am missing that place already.
Scooting back via Scoot airline is the most promising budget airline I have ever taken. Its spacious and comfortable to fly. Paying a low price and enjoy a normal economy class flight feeling, that plain awesome. Will take it when there is promotion next time.
Back to Singapore and I am working again. Dragged my feet as I walk, I feel exeptionally lethargic working this few days. Well I guess i need time to recover from the post holiday mood.
University matters are piling up. Application of ez link card, orientation camp, printing documents and registeration for various means make me feel worried. I know I have to face the music that uni is starting soon. It seems scary but I think I will be fine. Just the insecurity in me makes me feel uneasy.
Qualifying English Test this Monday is a turn off. How I wish I got a C for GP and I can skip this. I am so not prepared for it. Taking tomorrow to revise though. Wish me luck.
What I am doing now is, enjoy the last 2 weeks of freedom before obligations and commitment strucks in. Sigh....

Today is the first day of July. Did I just say July? I am pretty sure this is a fact. Haha.
Its just hard to accept this fact that its July already. Many things have come across my mind and is definitely giving me some pressure. Things ranging from university stuff to social stuffs are all haunting my mind right now, making me slightly mentally unstable.
University is gonna start soon and I am currently doing more preparation to it. I will be taking a qualifying English test on the 16th of July, which is 15 more days to go. I am currently applying for financial aid, hopefully its successful.
Army mates and some friends have attended camps, making new friends and having hell lots of fun. Looking at their pictures make me a little regret on my decision on not participating in this camp. I regret the part that I have missed out something before university starts. Well I guess its too late to regret now. Shall go for orientation and enjoy as much as possible and make more new friends.
The last time I met Marcus to plan for itinerary for my Bangkok trip is during the start of May. Yesterday was another meet up to finalise our itinerary. Its really very fast and scary in terms of how time flies. Speechless. Feeling a little excited though.
Working back at city hall for almost a month already and I am still enjoying the process. Even though there are bad customers, awesome customers do pop up once in a while. I have received a complimentary note from the customer residing in Australia but is a former Singaporean. She is really friendly and I reciprocated. Eventually she bought 7 pairs of shoes from me. Its really nice of her. That complimentary note is a morale booster for my subsequent days working there.
Sigh. How time has rob freedom away from me. I am gonna be less free on a month time and probably struggling to force myself to study. I foresee a terrible period between August to October.
I hope I will survive...........Labels: Time flies
