I guess the highlight of my day is FINALLY receiving the NUS letter for electrical engineering after waiting for so long. At least that was until I read the specifics. Apparently, I have to undergo some medical test to determine if I'm physically fit and also submit another form by 1st June. What a hassle! =S That leaves me less than one week to submit the form, and it won't be confirmed (as to whether you have submitted the form) until 3 weeks later. In addition, if NUS did not receive your form, even if you have accepted online, it will be taken as you have rejected the offer. In other words, you won't be able to accept other universities if you are not successful in getting into NUS. =S

This letter came as a surprise, although I have to admit that I was still holding on to some hope to being accepted into NUS. I thought that I had flung the interview for sure. I'm glad I waited though since I'm still undecided. Speaking of which, since I only received the letter today, I missed the ECE briefing/"orientation" TODAY which would give me more idea of what I'm getting into. >=( I guess I can't really complain since I got in through discretionary admission I guess.

Flipping through recruit today and browsing at some of the ads really scarred me. There's one which reads, "Looking for a web/program developer which has the following skills:
- ...
- Has hands on experience in HTML, CSS, Javascript, Action Script, PHP, My SQL , ... (and 3 other programming languages)." Can you imagine? 9 programming langauges? I understand the part about having to be updated, but seriously, 9 programming languages?!! Isn't that a tad t00 much? Which is why I'm now considering exploring my options. I guess, maybe I will go to NUS after all. Tough decision. Hahax, I hope I can get some advice from Biz club people tomorrow. Meeting up with them then. =) For now, I will weigh out my options and decide soon, hopfully. ^^

As for today, I met up with Clarence first before meeting up with Xinwei. What a coincidence! Clarence and Xinwei met in the army and so somehow, all of us knew each other. 0.0 Met up at douby ghaut for movie but ended up eating first and skipping the movie altogether because there was nothing interesting showing. Let's see, we then had Fish & chips(Xin wei's recommendation) for dinner at Fish and Cole. It was so oily. =( I couldn't stomach the entire fish "sweating" with oil. =E Clarence too, only xinwei could take it. I guess his stomach and tongue is something. Hahax. Since it was getting late, we headed to Bugis and skipped playing pool too, and went shopping instead. It was alright, with Clarence buying 1 shirt and a cap. I hope that my taste in clothes is not so bad. =| Speaking of which, I love Clarence cap, it's unisex (apparently) and I so regret not buying the skirt now. Maybe I should have bought, but it was a little over the top - price wise.

I so wanna upload the 3 pictures today to this blog and maybe facebook but I forbidden from uploading the pictures, except one. So maybe I will. Heh... *gets shots by both of the guys* And yes, vampire knight new chapter is out, subbed by SGK. Wahhz... Hino Matsuri has written the storyline in such a fanfic style. It makes fans go "kyahhh..." *dodges eggs being thrown by the readers this time* Heh...
