'jurong town' open house

choices. choices. choices.
we make them every single day in our lives.
but now.. the most pressing choice i have to make is uni course choice..
i'm sort of neglecting my average grades and just apply.
i'm really torn between science and langauge.. i talked to many people about it.. they all say the choice is really up to me.. i just hope that i'll make the right decision. i don't want to do a course for 1 year and then find out that.. it actually isn't what i want. i would have wasted that year. miss lee told me that. so i really really hope that i would get into something that i'm both interested in and can excel in.. so may the LORD lead and guide me. :)
more or less i have figured out what are the courses i'm going to apply for. not to mention, the minors already. its just the ranking that's all. what should i put as first choice and all that. yup. jia you!

anyways, i'm here to blog about my epic journey to nus open house. lol
went there with rahmah, lin and derong. haha it was filled with fun, joy, a healthy dose of laughter and tiredness. full of sehing and crap :P as usual, i was one of the top.. oki maybe the biggest contributor to this crap.. well cannot help myself for being expressive can i? haha

anyways, met at clementi mrt (we had no idea that the shuttle service is at dover!) oki nevermind took 96.. dropped at the first busstop we saw.. then we were thinking.. did we drop at the wrong stop? haha derong said don't look so we just ventured up the first steps to this long overhead bridge that.. we soon learnt, belonged to the faculty of engineering. haha oki. we were kind of lost, just walking with no direction.. but. we're hungry and tired (not cold.. we were sweating--so we kind of don't met the prerequisites for being a beggar :P) haha. oki.. so finally we stumbled upon civilisation. not to mention having trying to walk in the right direction haha. ate at food junction.. which is uber ex... cause they divided the price into both student price and public. in addition.. everything boils down to integrity. you know why? for the simple reason, they only ask if you're an nus student. they don't even check for identification! like witw! i could have just said i was from nus.. then i didn't have to pay $5 for a bowl of rice.well. nvm. as what lin says.. its your integrity.haha oki. after lunch, tropped down to hall 1... we had to navigate our way there again. lol. its practically a maze. took photo of the map. good thing we were walking in the right direction :P so managed to sit in for the FASS talk.. hmm.. was quite.. boring? plus the DEAN's voice wasn't exactly music to our ears.. she had a sore throat. but oki.. more or less really general.

next we went to level 2 to the booths. oki this is one of the most ineteresting part of the entire open house--finaly get to talk to the students who are taking the modules themselves. haha. oki.. we went in a clockwise direction starting from... school of engineering. frankly speaking, i like the way they pass me the brochure on engineering. the fromt page: 'frequently asked questions on engineering' other faculties should really REALLY learn from them. oki.. nothing much from engineering.. can reead the book later. maybe considering bioenginnering as one of the choices. oki.

next, rahmah and derong wanted to check out school of design and environment. oki.. not interested so i moved on to computing.
computing--computational biology: there are 3 tracks..1) be a computing student.. then attend that as a module, 2) enter faculty of science and then take up that course, 3) do a university research programme on that i think.. if i didn't remember wrongly. lol. hmm oki. seemed quite interesting.. but very IT based though.so maybe another one of mine.. ranked 7th choices?
moving on to science... woah. oki.. pretty much the same as last year's but the lady was not very helpful.. though she did mention like the 2 diff type of researches. one researcher is the kind.. where you're the leader of a research team. woah. you require a PhD for that. the second one is.. lab tech. but it doesn't sound THAT bad.. does it? then FORENSIC SCIENCE!! woah!! i tell you if.. i mean IF i fet into NUS science, i'll take up THAT minor. uber cool!! haha.

FASS was the most interesting. the eng lit student.. suzzane i think was a little nervous though. but i love tess!! the way she shared about english language made me want to join it!! woots~ hmm.. options.. options.. options..

the talks on faculty of science was... oki.. upselling NUS again. -.-
then i had an animated talk with rahmah, weijin, wei cheng. haha so funny. i think i was talking quite loudly.=X haha nvm. oki.. then we went wandering around, looking at the ccas. haha actually only rahmah was interested.the NUS volunteer's association.. since rahmah was in CSL lol the guy asked derong too, and he replied ' i still got two more years!! ROFL haha :D then i was cracking jokes about the NUS political association.. but oki. not that bad.. haha :) the hall fees are kind of ex too =X then went out tot he entrance to the bag!! yes!! finally had the bag. lol then got the lion soft toy. took some picutures (courtesy of derong :) ) pic on fb.

we had to walk out of NUS to get to the only bus stop, OUTSIDE of NUS which has bus 198 lol. thoughout the journey, we were crapping as usual.. till the point where i was tired and found it really noisy haha so i asked to have 1 min of silence. lol couldn't be done. only 15 secs passed then lin HAD to say something. lol. haha oki.. we continued our journey.. finally to the bus stop. wher we missed 198 haha had to wait for like 15-20 mins before another bus fianlly arrived. then talked all the way home!
oki had this freaky idea.. its called jurong town. imagine you're from jurong primary,secondary and junior college. then JURONG UNIVERSITY!! lol so our kids will be born in JURONG HOSPITAL. we'll go to JURONG LAKE and drink from JURONG SPRING. serious laughing all the way. haha.. but the thought scares me.. a little island on our own.. jurong town..
then went to hunt for food to re-charge with lin, before heading home. haha :) nice nice.!! been a while since i had this outing. walked till my legs ache. but still. nice :)

oki.. still need to decide. was talking to veron dear just now.RESEARCH IN LANGAUGE?
i'm really falling in love with ntu's lingustics and multilinguistics!!! :) <3 <3 oh man.. have to think.. think. think
but it WOULD DEFINITELY be one of my top 3 options of ntu! :) glee! jia you!!.

weijin shared with me some twitter quotes. lol 'passion quotes' he calls them:


sometimes you have to let things go so there's room for better things to come into your lifeDon't wait for tomorrow, because you'll never get today back. Live for today and love every second of it.

Each tear is one tear closer to a smile. So cry until you smile, that 's how you get through hard times.
 

Love what you do, do what you love. formal or latter?---that's from him lol.
hmm... i think both. i have to love what i'm doing in order to do so, must do what you love haha :)
i think i saw you.. just now.. your face..that familiar face.
didn't expect. to see you there.. almost close proximity.
luckily you didn't see me. i wouldn't know what to do
=do something right=
