Headaches.


The application for scholarships are giving me abit of a headache. Asking for a passport-sized photo which is 140x180 and less than 30kb. Or asking me to write about an exceptional achievement that highlights my academic interests. I doubt I'll get selected anyway. I'm just trying in hope of easing the burden of my parents. But it has been really frustrating meddling with all the different application forms.


Went over to both the NUS and SMU Open Houses held today. I'm interested to take up Chemical Engineering, I think my mind is more or less fixed. It does help that the starting pay is one of the higher ones around. The Open Houses were pretty disappointing. I expected alot more information and probably a more engaging experience. It was nice to meet friends from secondary school and JC though, together with all the botaks out from BMT.


2 more days till I leave the island I set foot on 3 months ago. Its been a long and tiring journey, but even as I complete this chapter of basic military training. I know there is so much more to come. And frankly, I cannot wait for it to be over. The day when I can leave, with my pink IC firmly in my hand.


That's still twenty-one sad months away.


Edit: Listen to the song on the left. Its Tears and Rain by James Blunt.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
