Rejections from both local unis, it's depressing though but what can i do but to accept it? This is part and parcel of life, my case couldn't be worser than others there who aren't as fortunate as me. My current plans right now: Submitted my appeals and desperately hoping for something miraculous to bestow upon me, but i'm not gonna put high hopes on that. Reason: Chances of successful unis appeal are rare. So what if i did achieve something in a cca, that itself may not be sufficient enough to secure me a place. I'm just wondering if i play for the Singapore women's table tennis team,I'll be 100% guaranteed a space in the local unis. HAHA...but that's not gonna happen cause i suck at table tennis. Me as the next Feng Tian Wei? NAH!
Alright,so when my plans are not going wherever it was originally heading to, there's gonna be a backup plan just in case everything backfires. And that's why i'm opting for uniSIM's arts and social science degree. But i'll not be doing Chinese again! I shall broaden my career options rather than corner myself into limited choices like chinese media and teaching. So yeah,that's plan B.
After my contract with wanbao ended in late April, i'm slightly active in the local floorball scenes. I had a major MIA due to work,work and more work. That partly has done some effect on my attendance/committment,hence I fail to make the cut for Div 1 team, so that makes me "relegated" to play in Div 2. I'm not that depressed compared to unis rejection,maybe it hadn't hit me hard enough. All in all, we're still the same team as a whole, but the fact that a team is divided by league differences made me feel less bonded than before. Anyway, Div 1 has finally kicked off after so long(5 months). Div 2 tentatively starts in September.

My blog layout is so plain and boring. think i should get a new one. time for a Change. HAHA.
I just realised my last post was dated 8 April which means i had not blogged for 1 month. Work in wanbao have been keeping me busy up till my last day. Plus, the convenience of Facebook and Twitter makes my everyday updates much easier and faster. Blogging can take up to 1-2hr,with the addition of pictures and drafting of the blog entry. But, leaving a Facebook status doesn't require much time and effort. What's best? Twitter limits users to tweet at a word limit of 140 characters, implying that everything had to be kept short and sweet. There is also more interaction with friends on Facebook & Twitter, as compared to blogging which serves its purpose of an online diary corner.
An update of what i'm doing. I left wanbao at the end of april after my 2 months contract ended. I would say i'm not officially saying goodbyes to working, as i still need to work to generate more income for my daily expenditures. ^-^ I'm now working in a small media company, that pays according to projects i take up, will look out for tuition assignments along the way too.
With the convenience of an Iphone, my sis occasionally love surfing youtube videos and she recommended this Kuso version of Twilight filmed & acted by asian students. It's real funny only if you have watched the original version. ROFL~ enjoy!

{at least i believed so}
Things didn't started off well today.I was almost late for BTT,reaching at 1025am when my test was 1030. Majority of the questions were giveaways, but there were just a few questions that caught me off guard or left me scratching my head. Gosh, i really think they should implement a marking grade,rather than flash a "failed" or "passed" after you submitted your answers. It's like an immediate result indicating success or failure. Feeling slightly dejected, i proceeded down to the administration office and booked a next test date, which will be on 7th June. It'll be another 2 months...till then I'm gonna wait, mugged the highway codes by heart and conquer BTT again!

Sometime last year, i was back in Wuhan for my chinese immersion trip. 127 days in a foreign land, with friends in T02. Be it birthday celebrations,cultural trips,ktvs and mugging...we were almost enjoying every minute we had, and cherishing the times we spend together. Fast enough,time has travelled till 2010, April. Nowadays, fixing a time for meet ups were much difficult than before.
An update on what I'm doing now. I'm still at wanbao,as a temp reporter. Stress-wise, slightly lesser than my intern days, but every job has its stressing factor,so guess I'm not spared too. I've been here like for 1 month already and 1 more month later, I'll bid goodbyes to my colleagues. Honestly speaking, I have no slightest intention to stay on, hence I'm searching for greener & richer pastures. The truth is,I'm not paid much. So why stay on in an environment which is the prime source of my pimples outbreak? But, being a reporter does generates a greater sense of satisfaction than other jobs. I like what I'm doing, but sometimes certain reasons deter me from loving it even more.
This coming Thursday-8th April, I'm gonna take my BTT. Currently mugging for that, taken a day's off too. Wish me luck! On top of that, it'll be 3 straight days of rest till Sunday. YAY =)

Universal Studio Singapore
2 of my colleagues had the special privilege of a sneak media preview at USS,which made me super envious cause they can try the rides for free! The universal studio symbolic icon was taken on my of my assignments,cheap thrill for me to prove that i went there. Truth was,I was doing my interviews just the outside of USS, and couldn't go in as the official opening is on 18th March. Plus the tickets are selling hot and fast.
quick snaps with the "globe" which was 25m away from me
with my photographer-yanyan
To me USS seems fun and family orientated theme park,though i hadn't really stepped inside. Currently it's 1 of the cheapest USS in the world, Singapore could rake potential tourism revenues from Casinos & USS 2-3 years before Korea's USS is completed. I should go USS someday and enjoy the awesome rides.
