Arthur is like a grown up innocent little boy.
I think that’s what makes him so adorable.
He constantly talks about himself but never knows it. You can’t help but smile.
And everything is sincere. From the heart.
It’s the sweetest thing.
He’s like a kid.

Hm. That’s alot of entries for today… must have been the SMU thing. Got my nerves (and adrenaline) going.
Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than what came before
And you?d better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come
Hm.
Just got a call from the SMU people. Turns out I’m shortlisted for an interview tomorrow.
Also they might not have recieved my photocopied results… *grumble* I put it in the box!
Whattowearwhattowear…
Shopping
Shopping is not therapy for me. Instead, I think it just creates more anxiety.
I’ve come to realize after the Japan trip that I have a very stupid way of shopping. I’ll look at something, ooh and aah over it for the next half an hour, and then decide not to buy it. I’ll spend the next 3 days wondering if I should go back and buy it or not. I can’t think of anything else besides ‘SHOULD I BUY IT?!’.
Then I begin to worry if it’ll go out of stock when I go back. Then I start weighing the pros and cons if I buy. The con will always be ‘it’s too expensive’. The pro will be ‘because I like it’. Chances are I’ll go back to the store, stare at the product for another half hour, and then decide not to buy it again.
That’s shopping for me. So don’t mind me when I don’t buy anything.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
OMGWTFBBQAOFJEQWPO
Seems like most of my blog entries are about bitching… maybe I should do a little less gossip.
… Ah fuck it.
NTU Office of Admissions is the most incompetent out of the three universities. And how do I know this? Becuase I been to all three universities.
I had to go to SMU twice, once to pay my application fee, and the second time to hand in my supporting documents. Process was quick and painless. The security guard was like the tour guide. He knows EVERYTHING.
Downside: Got a taste of the pompous attitude of the staff in SMU. Granted, they speak better English than the lecturers in NTU, but… I dunno. They have this way of carrying themselves. They have this air of arrogance. The ‘WE SPEAK BETTER ENGLISH THAN MOST YOU BACKWARD 3RD WORLD COUNTRY BLOKES SO WE RULE HA HA HA’ kind of arrogance.
Went to NUS because I lost my PIN number (what’s new?). Met whatshisname there. The 04A1 fella… oh well. The girl who attended to us was extremely polite and nice! Had to wait a bit for the PIN number to be processed, but it was also quick and painless.
Downside: Pompous attitude part II. The Office of Admissions was undergoing renovation, and some authority figure came down hard on the head guy who was doing the renovating. Something about the renovation being scheduled the next day and since they came early, they have to be supervised but no one’s around blahblah…
NTU. Oh Dear God.
Had to submit my documents for Arts, Design and Media. There were at least 5 people sitting in their cubicles behind the Office of Admissions desk, and no one came to me. Pressed the buzzer, no one responded.
Then this girl comes up, and I told her I was submitting the envelope to Arts, Design and Media. She gives this blank look at me. I repeated what I said.
She calls a second person to come help her.
In NUS and SMU, all the people were qualified and experienced enough to know what they fuck they were supposed to do. They were alone. They did their jobs on their own. And here in NTU, you have 5 people behind the desk and no one knows what to do. WTF?!
Then they proceed to open up my envelope and look at the contents.
Because they didn’t know what is was for, despite me repeatedly saying it was for the FUCKING SCHOOL OF ARTS DESIGN AND MEDIA, AND I HAVE IT WRITTEN ON THE ENVELOPE DIMWIT CAN YOU READ?! they still opened up the bloody thing.
And they told me I was missing a document. A photocopy of my A levels’ results.
I went WTF?! I went through the submission requirements twice and I saw no want for the A Levels’ results!
Let me show you what they wrote:
* All students with prior University study, Poly Technic study in Singapore must submit a current official transcript from the University or Schools attended.
When they say ‘prior University study’, they mean if I studied in a university before coming to NTU, correct? They want an official transcript from the UNIVERSITY. I have not attended a University.
She tells me I need a photocopy of my A level results.
Then I recieve an email saying I need a photocopy of my A level results. For fuck’s sake, type it out properly so people won’t get so fucking confused.
She offers to keep my envelope while I mail the photocopied results to her. At this point my faith in their administration has sunk to an all time low, so I demanded the envelope back.
And secondly, if you didn’t have your admission office positioned SO FUCKING INSIDE THE CAMPUS people will be alot happier.
And why on earth do you have both an ‘Administration Building’ AND a ‘Student Services Center’? What the fuck does the Admin Building do then?
And did you read the article on the NTU student who mass emailed 8000 other students in an attempt to boycott the lecturers who could not speak proper English?
Oh well, I support you all the way, kid.
