of closed doors and reality-

secured early from camp today so i went back to school to collect the school graduating certificate in the evening. it came in a very nice brown folder with the words on the cover embossed in gold.

on the way home i read through everything with mixed feelings. reading the testimonial made me appreciate again (since i've already read the testimonial before.) how nice miss bobillier is, making a playful kid like me sound like some conscientious student. obviously i didn't deserve that.

opened the letter box to find NTU's letter-

"We regret to inform you that due to keen competition your appeal (for change of programme to Aerospace Engineering) has not been successful... The place in the Mechanical Engineering programme has been reserved for you for academic year 2011/12."

receiving such notifications are, of course, disappointing. but who else can i blame but myself for not having performed better? whatever happened during a'levels period cannot, and will not be an excuse for such mediocre results. but what's over is over, i will stop lamenting and start thinking about and planning for the future.

when everything you planned doesn't work out at all, could it be Him telling you where he actually wants you to go? perhaps submission is just something my rebellious nature needs to learn-

the random life of an nsf-

HELLO WORLD-

YESSS i am back to update this very very dead blog after being coerced on my cbox and msn to update this dead blog (hehe just joking). ohkayy after some thinking i thought i ought to update it too since this is probably the only place i can post updates about myself to keep in contact with people i have less contact with now =/

p.s. look adel and yantian i have updated my blog (fine i will update it frequently since i'm free)

i have nothing of importance to update today but since yantian thinks i should update about anything at all, here it is-

firstly, 幸福遇见!

林依晨's debut album is out for preorder! its going to be released on 10 July 2009! i've pre-ordered my copy online woohoo it's gonna be shipped to singapore as soon as its released.
MY PREORDER COPY IS SIGNED =D
p.s. 林依晨's my psp wallpaper as well :) and yes i have her 甜蜜花园 MV on my psp too :D

secondly,
i wanted to upload my POP photos from ages ago but i realised i really cannot find where i put them =/ so sorry people you can only see photos of the bald PTE Chan when i find the photos hehe.
oh yes, to people who don't know, i've since been dyed blue after POP (i.e. i've been posted to the navy) and my unit now is Tuas Defence Squadron / Sea Surveillance. (if it isn't obvious enough, i'm based in Tuas Naval Base now)
oh yes, i'm a stay-out personnel :)

thirdly,
i've continued my driving lessons after stopping for close to 2 months (thanks to being in Changi Naval Base for like 6 days a week and booking out only for a day during the initial phase).
thank goodness my driving hasn't really rusted, i still feel quite comfortable at the wheel =) oh hahaa there was this short girl who had the slot before my driving lesson and she's quite odd because her seat is way further back than i would usually sit (albeit her legs being obviously shorter than mine) and i had to adjust like everything (seats, mirrors) when i got on, i couldn't see a single thing with her mirror positions hahaa.
taxi drivers and traffic light cameras are the hate. taxi drivers just refuse to give way so you have to force your way into the yellow box to make them stop. traffic light cameras are the ultimate since i always seem to get on the end of perfect amber-light-timings so i always have the fear of getting snapped.

enough of my random rubbish talk, i'll update again soon =)
