had my smu interview on thursday..and it wasn't like any of the scholarship interviews I have had..when i first stepped in..the 2 interviewers were like heyy site back and relax..that set the tone for the interview..totally relaxed and exchange of ideas were free and easy..there were some interesting questions though..like if they sponsored me right now for a trip..which country I would go to..well I said I wanted to go to New Zealand for the countryside quietness so as to leave the city hustle behind..it would be good to experience peace and serenity once in a while..there was also another question..why do people not like people from ri..that was the first question..quite shocking but I believe I answered it pretty well..probably it's because of the confidence that has been inculcated in us..sometimes it could lead to us being over confident..and appearing cocky in some ways..another question was if they had a clause that I had to go study for a term at university of beijing..what would my reaction be..well I said I would very much enjoy it..since it was a change in culture and an opportunity to make moe friends..well that's about it..the essay..well I wrote about the worst period of my life and how I passed it..talked about the period in j1..well that was a painful time..really think I had clinical depression..sigh..but well it's over and I've become a better and stronger person now..

friday passed uneventfully..just played computer and read some books..basically it..

saturday..yeaa today..still about half the day left but..I went to school to collect my A level certificate today..nothing special about it..then met up with Junjie and Nathanael for lunch and for Harry Potter..having read the book twice..I feel that the adaptation is rather poor..many details were missing and the show has become something like a soap opera..flashing from event from event..like days of our lives..but the worst part of it was that it felt like the producers rushed through the show..it was barely 2hrs 15mins long..I think this is much too short for a major blockbuster..perhaps an added hour would have made it more exciting and enjoyable..the music was great and a deviation from the past 2 films..and gosh..Emma Watson is really really pretty..she has discarded her little girl look from Philosopher's Stone and now she looks very much more mature..Harry Potter was a good show but definitely not as great as I expected it to be..after the show went shopping..bought some snacks for tonight's soccer..and Shuyang's present..I think sending it over is gonna be troublesome and expensive..sigh..her birthday should have been earlier..hahaa..anyway think I'll get a pair of earrings to go along as well..since she lost hers earlier..

well that's basically it for 2 days..can't wait to go to gombak base and be a clerk!! damn..OCS..my dream crushed..anyway operation soon..at least I can look forward to soccer again..even if there's no OCS..just hope I don't have to go through bmt again..
