My Future~!

It’s funny when looking back this (what i wrote on 14th March):
I just finished the online applications for NUS and NTU. Guess what my decisions / plans are.
If I get into NUS, I’ll first take Computational Biology for the 1st year, and then apply for Double Degree Programme (partnering Business) if my results allow.
For NTU, if I fail to get Double Degree in Business & Computing, I’ll do Business with specialization in Information Technology.
Then where am i going in the end?
None of the above.
It’s SMU (Singapore Management University), a university that i had never considered. I applied for it just because i was asked to. No harm trying, that’s what i thought then. Phew~ luckily i did apply.
"SMU? Rich people’s school…" That’s what my friend said. Well, i didn’t know about that. The course offered is very attractive to me, but i wouldn’t accept it without any scholarship. The tuition fees and hostel rates frightened me when i checked them out. But now with the scholarship, things become affordable. Hehe.
I was really surprised while i received the news. I thought i have no chance. Because the most suitable word i could find to describe my interview was "awkward", and "blur" if i were to find another. I have no idea how i came out with all the "special" answers.
I was always one of the last to answer the questions. While other interviewees were speaking, my heart was beating fast because i didn’t know what i should say as the politically correct answers had already been mentioned by other people. Then out of nowhere, "ting!" in my mind, "ok, i’ll talk about that when it’s my turn." That’s how i got my answers. Phew~ how generous SMU is… Thanks~!
I’ll be doing Bachelor of Science (Information System Management). It’s a combination of business and IT, again. My fate *sigh*
Anyway, live up to the choices we made, as Jun Hui said. So i will 
COngratulation!! Information System Management, sounds like my course too, just diff between management and engineering. ANyway, Wish you all the best lo!!
Gonna own a new laptop too~! Haha~!
Hey congrats! SMU is good.
3 years or 2 years? And what you getting a new laptop? Dun abuse it as badly as your current one. 
Abuse? Of course i hope not… Hehe… Yup, it’s a a one-off grant for the purchase of a notebook computer (of up to $3,000)… ;]
2 or 3 years? it’s 3-4 years. Depends on how i take the modules i guess.
Gonna be far apart from you d, jun hui~ wish u all the best too
