Confessions of a Lesser Mind

So I finally received the reply from SMU yesterday evening. The big ‘Congratulations’ emblazoned on the envelope did give me a glimmer of hope till I read on:

“I am aware that you aspire to do a Law degree program; that you have been interviewed by the school testifies to your potential to be one. (So far so good) Indeed, you have interviewed creditably. (Why, thank you very much) In a field of highly talented candidates, our selection process becomes even more competitive and in this regard, you miss qualifying into the law school. (D’oh!) However, I am delighted to offer you admission into SMU’s Bachelor of Business Management programme at the LKCSB ….. arguably the most popular (You say oversubscribed, I say overrated ) business school. You should be proud of your achievement.” ( Don’t need to patronize me lor.)

It was a long shot anyway. I won’t deny I’m disappointed but it was not much of a surprise, but kudos to the admin office for such a personalized and tact way of rejecting me.

And no, I am not blaming CD for making me stupid and stuff. There was serious competition and I was beaten fairly.

Well, I guess its back to reality. I now have only one option, of which three routes are placed before me.

Business Admin. (It was my sole dream to scrape the A levels and get into this course, at any uni; would have sufficed for me. I guess we were all young and stupid.)

So should I go to SMU ( its 9 times oversubscribed perhaps that many overrated), NUS ( their over-aggressive ads have fooled me into thinking they’re outstanding. Who can go wrong with the tagline ‘That’s the difference between them and N’US.’ ) or the super quiet NTU ( that only finds it sufficient to put up unglamorous ads on buses and bus stops. But perhaps they have the most to offer? )?

I don’t know. Any suggestions?

An Apology to all Pandas out there. I ate your family!

I just want to apologize to the person who wrote the quote in the previous entry. I was not and am not offended by your writing. It was more of me regretting how my past neglects may have caused one too many obstacles in my pursuit for a better future.

Once again I apologize for any out of context usage of your writings and lack of sensitivity on my part.

Big hug to you!

And no, I've not turned gay.

And yes, I've become really stupid because it took me 10 mins to properly type that out in a readable language.
