to double degree or not to double degree?
i think the amount of travelling i did by bus today alone is about half the amount i usually do in a year, but that’s not saying a lot. got to nus at 1040, thinking that i’d have to go for the law talk alone. to my surprise, i found kenny and derek were sitting outside hall 1, which meant that i had company for the day! kenny and i made our way to the law talk, while derek went for the fass talk. the speaker for nus law was slightly slow, and what he gave us was just an introductory talk to law. most of the stuff he talked abt could be found on the website anyway, so all that kenny and i took away from the talk was just a little information abt the staff in the law faculty and that nus law onli requires a 5 for sl english for you to be able to apply (: this is in comparison to that other university in singapore that demands a 7 in sl english before we apply for law in their school…
anyway, it was after the law talk that i realised that tons of other ppl from school were around. my blogpost would be insanely long if i named them all, but there were enough for acs clusters to form outside the halls before and after the talks so… you have an idea. i was greeting ppl left right centre the entire day, which was pretty interesting to say the least. i saw this guy that reminded me of mark yeow (it was probably him), ashley and hwee leong. basically, all the silly rafflesians who decided to spoil our market this year. and then there was aunty june and SALINAAAAA. omg when i saw her and called her name, she screamed and nearly fell off the stairs lol. too bad they were rushing off to the ntu open house though, it would have been nice to catch up for a bit. and since nobody wanted to stay for the business talk, derek jlow kenny and i decided to head out to wah chee for lunch. just for kicks, you know? so it was shuttle bus, then 74 to school.
so after lunch, i had to head back to dover mrt (by bus!) again to meet dawn and sarah, whom i accompanied back to nus (via the shuttle bus). the both of them didnt know where to go, and being the more experienced one by about 3 hrs, i brought them ard the booths and the food bazaar. i swear, the live bands were so freaking loud my ears were ringing after i walked out of the multi purpose hall. you know it’s loud when you find it really difficult to hear what the sports club, christian fellowship and social workers society are trying to say, even though your ear’s almost beside their mouths and they’re shouting as loud as they can. the two girls seemed to enjoy themselves in their little tour ard the area though, led by their friendly makeshift tourguide - yours truly.
so after our "lunch", which consisted of sarah having indian rice and pasta, and dawn having a waffle, we sat down to discuss and confirm the details of our easter skit. somehow, in the space of 30 min, we managed to decide on the cast and we also took note of almost everything else that we still had to think about. at the very least, we didnt end up having to meet daniel at dinnertime to discuss all this with him cos we already confirmed it there and then. it was weird though, cos ppl kept coming up to the 3 of us while we were discussing to introduce themselves and advertise their freshmen orientation camps to us, the same camps that were advertised inside the multi purpose hall. i think that if i didnt reject them right in their faces (nicely of course), dawn and sarah would just smile at them and laugh to themselves sheepishly ><
in the end, i joined the both of them in the fass talk and omg was it booooooring. dawn ended up reading my army notebook and the 3 of us were laughing at my brilliant first aid stickmen drawings. the stuff that the speaker spoke about was once again, easily available from reading materials or online. as she said, "you can go to our website, the internet…" the crowd there was huge though, but what amused us were the number of ppl that were just blatantly walking out halfway through the talk, most likely cos they were almost bored to tears.
it was pretty weird walking ard campus with the two of them though, and seeing all the familiar faces from school and ulysses. sarah commented that this really shouldnt be the case, and that she should recognise more ppl at the open house than me, seeing how us ib students are supposed to all head out to prestigious overseas universities. oh well, i guess i just have more friends than the both of you hahaha. xD so it was back to the dover shuttle, and then my field trip to nus finally concluded.
anyway, i’ve finally applied to nus. law, business, fass. this is my first ever uni app, so let’s see how it goes from here. God willing, i’ll have a place in nus law and a scholarship to boot (:
SUNDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY = church!
