University Offer...

University admission, sth i've been worried for the past few months and had so much anxiety about..
ever since the start of april, i'm constantly hoping that the big package of offer letter and admission guide will reach my mail-box, or at least the online status will no longer be "Application processing"..
and finally on the 14th, when the online status was no longer under "Application processing".. i got into a momentary state of shock..
there it says "You have been provisionally offered...
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
and then the next day, the big package i've looked foward to all this while was lying there in my mail-box.. and then all the information of acceptance and enrolment info start to bombard my already confused state of mind.
but there i was feeling all lost and in a state of unbelief..
all this while, i had myself so concentrated on hoping to get admission to the biz admin course.. though i did considered the possibility of not meeting the cut-off, and all the news on how competitive biz courses are.. but i always tried to convince myself to stay positive bout the outcome.. so when the outcome was shoved so bluntly to me, i'm caught in a loss of what to do..
to me, this offer makes the only option for my university studies. since i've stubbornly decided to jus apply for NUS. but it's a decision i've thought through carefully which i'm not regretful even now.
well, it took me 2 days to come to terms with the application outcome.. and then talked to my parents, discussed with dear and did some serious considerations myself..
and somehow reached at a conclusion that it's either..
1) To try my luck and Appeal for change of course to biz admin
2) Give up biz and accept arts and social science
since i've decided that further studies is sth i still want to pursue for.
and then it had me seriously thinking and reflecting on a lot of things..
i kept questioning myself, 'Am I really suited for business?' , 'Do I really like to be in business?' , 'What job I want to do in future?' , 'What will I do if i decided to accept fass?' and many more...
and then went tgt with yuelian to find out more bout fass at the poly admits talk. a v useful talk, got to know more bout the course and some admission info.. talked to some of the lecturers on the different programmes, curriculum and realised that some of the programmes sounds appealing and interesting to me.. the flexibility of their curriculum structure also seems v appealing. and at the end of it, i'm so attracted by their language studies (Korean, Jap) and some of the social sciences programme. and the best of everything, realised that still will be able to haf advance placement and exemptions of half sem, which makes it no difference from studying biz..
and after the talk, it was another round of discussions with my parents and dear and thinking through it carefully myself.
and it seems that other than econs which the lecturer said to be all bout calculus, which totally turned me off. the rest of their programmes all seems rather interesting and appealing and i really like their flexible curriculum structure. and wat got me really excited is that their communication and new media programme seems kinda similar to visual communications, which i had always wanted to try studying. hahax.
it isnt easy for me to reach at a decision..
from not given the first choice, to thinking of appealing, to getting to know more bout fass, to getting excited and interested bout their programmes to finally accepting the uni offer.
it took me 2 whole weeks to think through it carefully. considering every different aspect, constantly questioning myself carefully. all the thinking nearly got my mind all tangled up and at a loss of wat to do.
but after everything, i'm sure i'm happy with my decision and i hope everything will turn out fine =)
When u've lost sth, u may in turn gain other things in return... =)

Updates..
quite alot had happened since i last blogged.. important ones, leisure ones, movies, dramas.. quite a handful of things to blog about..after almost to one month, i'm still jobless... argh.. though i did mention in the prev post that i love the slacking days and kinda enjoying the life i had now.. but too long of idling at home truly made me think that i'm somehow spending away my time meaninglessly.. argh, i seriously need a job offer soon!! and seriously i hope the next call i get wld be for an interview and not some consultation call from the recruitment agency =X argh..
so i'm basically idling at home doing random stuff from sending resume for job application, watching drama on pps, watching the ch8 taiwan show with my mum, completing cross stitch pouches, online shopping, thinking bout uni offer and many more random insignificant stuffs.. lol..
and finally i've got time for those dramas i've nv had time to watch before.. "Sky of Love" and "One Litre of Tears".. it's v long ago dramas, from few years back, but i've nv really had time to watch it.. really good dramas and defitely tear-jerking dramas. watch both the drama and movie ver of sky of love and one litre of tears consecutively and at the end after i finish both, i had puffy eyes from too much crying over the days.. hahax.. but both are really nice dramas and somehow will find some realisations after watching them..

it's those typical kind of one-of-the-main-lead-got-cancer-died-in-the-end kind of storyline.. but still both the movie and the drama ver got me really touched by their love story.. hahax. and they had good looking cast for the movie. lol.

it's saddening that there's really such cruel disease in reality. it's really frightening and saddening to see how everything starts to degenerate and the character slowly lose the ability to do simple things, like walking, that most takes for granted. the courage and determination the character shown is truly admirable. and after the whole show, it made me think that...
"能健康地活着就是最大的幸福!"
但人往往会为了追求一些事物而忘了这单纯 "能活着真好" 的信念..
或许因为拥有所以不曾觉得会失去吧?
当失去了才会有当头棒喝的感觉吧?
才会理解那其中的珍贵?
人似乎往往都是这样?
hahax.. i dunno why, but i like to derive some reasoning or viewpoint after finishing an inspiring drama or movie..
other than staying at home idling away, i oso went watching movies with dear and to explore new shopping malls that's jus opened this month.
firstly, Iluma, the new shopping mall beside Bugis Street.

explored the place and went to watch "17 Again" at the filmgarde cinema too. the shops not fully occupied yet, and the tenant mix isnt sth that could make me spend more than 2 hours in the mall. hahax. and it got kinda bored while we're waiting for the movie to start. lol.

the reason for watching the show: 90% cos it's Zac Efron and the remaining cos of the storyline. hahax.
and it's a really nice and funny movie. and i like the story. hahax. i really like how the character Mike when given a second chance to make another choice, eventually made the same decision jus like wat he did back then.
i dun find it really v inspirational, but still the movie did make me derive at some reasonings and a little inspiration from it.. hahax.. my viewpoint..
"sometimes, one tend to imagine that life may be better if they hadnt given up on certain things.. and then live grumbling over the regrets and all the wat if i hadnt given up??" but sometimes, one tend to overlook that "when u've lost sth, u may in turn gain other things in return"..
hahax, i dunno what's wrong with me, but i'm like getting inspirations out of dramas and movies lately.. hahax..
and back to the reason for the movie..

seriously, Zac Efron is really handsome and totally charming. hahax. =X

and after movie was dinner at The Manhattan Fish Market. first time dining at the restaurant. and i dunno if it's pure luck or watever, the food we ordered was not nice. and first time i tasted fish that's as bland as water and amazingly could totally wipe off the taste of watever sauce i've added. and so it's totally a "bland fish". hahax.
okay, that's bout the first new shopping mall we've explored. hahax.
second, Tampines 1. which i'm jus so totally excited abt that we went right on it's first day of opening and the number of ppl is AMAZING. and the huge flow of crowd is still evident even up till now when it's like few weeks after the opening.

after exploring the shopping mall, i like the shopping mall. at least now there's a mall close by where i can spend a whole afternoon. hahax..
and i'm so gonna explore these 2 shops like sometime soon.. the crowds in these stores totally amazing. hahax..

Uniqlo

Manpuku Japanese Gourmet Town.. i so wanna dine in this jap restaurant like sometime soon.. hahax..
and on some other random day, went to watch the movie Handsome Suit.

totally HILARIOUS movie. i'm like laughing throughout half of the movie. hahax. a great movie to relieve stress and to have a good laugh. love the movie and totally enjoyed it. hahax. at least it gave me a break from all the serious considerations i've been going through and it's been awhile since i laughed so much watching a movie/drama. hahax.
dear accompanied me to rent the graduation robe last sat. and i'm thankful he went with me. if not i'll be so lost.. hahax. cos the bus was practically too near to the building that we simply jus miss out on the signage of the place. and when we noted the signage, it's too late for us to alight and in the end, we had to walk one stop back to the place. hahax. felt very different wearing the graduation robe, and the realistic feeling of being a graduate starts to surface. and with all my uncertainties of the future answered, i'm kinda looking forward to the graduation ceremony. and i'm happy and excited to end my poly education with a diploma with merit =) i'm glad all my hard work paid off..
all these more or less summed up what i've beeen doing recently..
i've disrupted my biological clock for such a long time and basically, i've been living a rather unhealthy lifestyle. sleeping and waking up at v unhealthy hours. so i'm determined to turn back my biological clock back to normal from now on. hahax.
i'll leave the important issue of university offer till the nxt post.. it isnt an easy decision for me and there's alot of things to be said.. so till then..
end off lastly with the MV of my current fav song.. 我知道 by BY2. hahax.
