uni, espl, chess


3 days without going online. That's good, but I think my productivity this week is lower than last week. Seriously think there's something wrong with my english...can't seem to write smoothly anymore. Sounds weird when I re-read what I wrote. Hmm.

Haven't gotten an infection yet. And hope I never will. Well...ain't that convenient...when you get ear-holes, everyone's going to start giving you earrings for your birthday. Aw. But how many earrings can one wear at a time? :P Nay... I challenge thee to be more creative! :P

Went for a talk by someone from Warwick university in the UK. Quite interesting. Looks good. Plus they have PPE...which stands for Philosophy, Politics and Economics. :P Only other universities which offer the course are Oxford, Cambridge and York. Oxbridge is a little hard to get in. Fine. Very hard to get in. And prob will be extremely stressful there as well. Not impossible... but desirable? Maybe not... Don't like to step out of my comfort zone...too lazy heh. So maybe I'll consider Warwick. Just that... it's kinda ex... 8000-11000 pounds a year, plus about 6000 pounds in living expenses. Think you multiply the number by 3 to convert to Sing dollars. And what's the chance of me getting a scholarship without S papers? Hmmm. See.....not impossible, but not very probable. So will probably go look for more info on universities... soon. Have to be soon.

But should I try for dentistry? So confusing. Don't even know what I want to do. Ah well... what if I can't cope with humanities after doing 6 years of science? The personality tests I did all tell me I should be a scientist. But I don't want to be a scientist. Maybe I can change my personality to suit the job. Yeah right. Easier said than done. And do I really want to do that? Ha. So how so how... dentistry or humanities? And econs might be a killer. So much maths involved. Don't even know what econs is all about. Blah. Should have taken PCME instead of triple science. But no...I decided to follow the herd...and ended up eating grass. Blah.

Went to the esplanade with shu yesterday after school to see the art pieces from the UOB competition thingy. Ate dinner at scotts. Then took bus there. It's easier to be yourself and talk when you stop worrying about certain stuff. Couldn't get to see the prize winning pieces cos they were locked up in an exhibition room which was closed at that time. Ah well. It was fun. Sad I can't go to the esplanade more often. Nice place, that is.

Ah. Guess what. Sharon asked me to join a chess competition. Cos they were short of one player to form a team of 4. And it seems that no one could play, or had the time to play. So got dragged in. Right. So going to lose face man. The only strategy I have in playing chess is to kill off all the opponent's pieces and corner the king with 2 rooks or with a queen. Not much of a strategy. Can't even beat the beginner stage of chessmaster. Blah. And it's going to be blitz chess. Which means every player gets only 20 minutes to play. How exciting.

Yay. Finished reading hp. Now to start studying. Hopefully.
