Ready?



Opportunities are widely opened,
but only reserved for those who are ready.
I realised I am not ready.

During SMU Interview, I was reflecting on my 3 years poly classroom life on how I behaved in class. Then I think again, am I a university person? I am playful and likes to take it easy in the class. I seldom attend to my tutorials. But I want to bring my education to the next level. I want it but I know I aint ready.

The consequences of unreadiness is that you see how others who are on the go and ready, how simple they can do it. There will be a little inferior mindset flooding for sometime.

Well, Its over. Dont dwell on things that are over. Nothing can be changed. Its an experience that i take with me and be able to share with others.

1) English Test
- Compre 30 mins. A comprehension passage that certainly gonna squeeze your brain juices with the familiar yet lost-touched vocabularies, together with questions that ensures to be difficult for you. Not easy, really not easy. 4 questions and about 3-4 sentences expected answer for each. The last question was asked us to rebut the author, even though how good u felt the passage was, try to find a way through to find any weak spot.

- Compo 45 mins. 2 questions choose 1. An Open question that you can use it as an expository or maybe narrative and another one an argumentative. The last time i did a compo was 2007 GCE O levels. Vocabs were stucked, felt like a rusty dictionary that cant do much.

2) Reading Article Small Group Discussion.
A 15 mins discussion then straight to the interview room where the reading article will then be rediscussed with 2 professors and some questions that they ask.

- Who are you & whats your passion?
- What are your views on gap year? And would you go for gap year?
- If you were the dean of SMU, would you make work experience a criteria to enter SMU?
- Why SMU is the right choice?

I made a mistake on not answering one of the question earlier as I was skipped for one. I did make some good points clear out though, hopefully I was recognised by those.

Homesick O' No

Despite all the fun, I admit I am homesick. A common cycle one will go through in a different environment '4H': Honeymoon-Homesick-Hate-Homesweethome. Missing my mum alot. A scene today when i passed by a temple, saw an old lady, probably in her 60s. Could barely find a black hair on her, could say all white. Me and my friend, both of us were looking around for directions. Happen to met her, showed a benevolence face with wrinkles and of about 150 height. Somehow somewhere i could find a resemblance of my mum. I looked at her closely, and the thought of that mother would aged like her one day killed my strong front that i have to put. I was secretly tearing out of nowhere. She just resemble my mum alot, not very much on the look but the way she talk to us and how nice she was. Everyone ages, many know this but dont understand and i dont too. We can do all we want in life but there is a time limit to filal piety. I just think i am not a good enough son.

We had once upon a time...

Once upon a time, There was a village where some humans are equipped with wings and unfortunately some do not. There was an ordinary little boy who is one of the unfortunate ones without the wings, he was playing in the backyard of his village, he was running around with butterflies. Running after those butterflies, made him ran further and further from his village, he soon discovered a cliff. The little boy was curious what lies at the bottom of the cliff, as he went closer to the edge of the cliff, he then soon realised it is a very deep end, where he could hardly see any visible sights of ground. Then came a gentle female voice that seems to come from the bottom of the cliff, "Hello, you are? Wanna be friends?" The little boy made friends with the anonymous voice from the bottom of the cliff and came by often to the cliff to chat with her. After a week, both the little boy and girl enjoys each other accompany. One day when the little boy makes him daily routine visit again

A dream that may turn into reality. Nothing much today, Same old routine at home. However, another big decision i have to make. About the Singapore Youth Flying Club. It all started with my friend, shawn. I have not played habbo for sometime, around two months. Also, i have not keep in touch with my habbo friends, whatevers clique since January until last week. But due to my curiosity i went back to habbosoup to help and engage myself in habbo everyday for at least 10 mins per day. Then, on saturday, 4th April, i happen to met one of my friend in the whatevers clique, shawn. He suddenly talked about PPL. Then engaged me to know more about it. He then told me SYFC - Singapore Youth Flying Club, that he is going there to apply for flying application. After he said that, i recalled 2 years back, my maths tuition teacher did told me about the youth flying club and urged me to join. Back then i didnt really pay much attention to it, but it did left me a deep impact. To be honest, since yo
