at the prompting of sweet stephy, i have come to blog. after such a long period of haitus, i'm sure some of you might be wondering what i'm up to. not so! i lied. i don't think anyone would b wondering that.
anyways, right after our last chalet in aloha changi (i regret not being able to make it on saturday guys. that seemed like so much fun! /sob.), i was thrown into the working world, selling the most important thing you'll every have in the entire galaxy--towels. it's been 2 weeks already and i still haven't gotten a good night's (i.e. less than 10 hrs of) sleep. it's a tragedy, i know. getting fuzz (i.e. the white fur thingie that comes out from towels) stuck on my standard issue black pants isn't fun either.
the only good thing that happened in the month of june was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. that movie is absolutely hilarious. even tho i knew most of the quotes used in it and what's gonna happen next, it's still absolutely entertaining. the graphics are far-out and the aliens are created by jim henson's puppetmasters. yes, the one that brought you seaseme street. you know it's good when it's done by the same people from seaseme street. the cast is excellent, the costumes are whacky and the plot is true to Douglas Adams (bless his soul). he had wanted so much for it to become a movie but the script was in development hell for more than a decade. and it had been after his passing that the movie finally got the go-ahead. bittersweet moments but the movie was fantastic. go watch it.
.....juz received the ntu enrolement package for my electrical and electronics engineering (eee) pang sai zhua degree. the moment i saw the brown envelope, i'd lost all motivation to get on with the degree. it's not what i wanna do, what i wanna study but like what my dad and zy said, haf degree is better den no degree, no matter how lousy that degree might be. but i dunno... it's reli hard to put my best foot forward when i don't even wanna pursue that degree.
*for more information, pls scroll down to earlier university ramblings*
something went seriously wrong with the sg education system. singapore does not allow the average-minded people a chance to pursue their interest. instead, the average-minded people are confined to what the sg education system thinks is "relevant". only the exceptionally brilliant or the exceptionally hardworking are given a chance to apply for any degree they like. and the exceptionally briliant or the exceptionally hardworking does not even make up 5% of the total applicants. i know life's unfair and all but that doesn't stop me from procrastinating. if only i was born into a richer family. even better, if only i was born USA or Australia or something. i might have a better chance getting what i truly want.
so for now, i'll hafta fill up forms, log onto their lousy ntu website and study the lousy degree that was allocated to me. and i would wanna take a 2nd degree--the one that i truly want. but what are the chances of me getting it after all that wasted time? the sg education system isn't gonna change overnight, or after 3 years. i might as well take a high paying job and a part time degree of what i truly want. but then, how am i to know that my part time degree is considered "relevant"?
the relativity of this situation mocks me.
/end endless blog.
