And look at all these cobwebs

Yeah, someone gonna send me a death threat if i don't update soon tho. Sorry peeps =P
Alot been happening, ever since the p2p greeniz camp. I'll just get to the latest update first


Uni,Yoonie,YouNee,You Nih, Yun-Ni???

The very much anticipated public university entrance was finally out. After a few rumours saying its gonna be out 'soon'.
Me, Sin Yee, E-von and Yi Vern were walking around Low Yat on Monday and suddenly phone starting beeping with messages saying the results are out.

"Eh....Qui zheng just said that we can check out our results already!", Hooi E-von
" UPU RESULTS WILL BE OUT BY MID NEXT WEEK",The Star newspaper
"Betul ke nih...i just woke u this morning and the first thing i did was online and check it, nothin also", Wong Miu Kee

We got really convinced the moment Qui Zheng told us what offer she got. So yeah, instantly our heart flew away from Low Yat plaza and kept on thinking bout bein online and check it.
Probably somethin like wanna know if ur wife gave birth to a boy or gal...lol.

The moment i got home, i ran up to my room and checked it. My dad was beside me, knowing what is the commotion bout.

Well...my eyes were looking everywhere on that page. So the first word i spotted was EKONOMI. Half light of hope were shinning
Second word spotted: UKM
"Oh fuck..."
"Geez...no way"
"Stupid fucking public uni...the hell"

Its rather obvious whats the good news and bad news tho. Yeah, the offer i got was my 3rd choice.
As honest as i can be, I am really disappointed for the fact i couldnt get into UM for the business/econs course.

You might be asking,
"Whats wrong with UKM?"

"Nothing wrong bout it, but there's a reason why i didnt put UKM as my first choice"
"...coz UKM aint the first place i wanna go in order of priority!"

Bet 6/10 of u all don't even know where the heck is UKM

Probably my biggest mistake and regret was listening and accepting those 'hopes' being fed directly into my head. Disappointment happens when you get too comfortable with a certain idea in the future.

Yes, alot of ppl been telling me how great the chances of me gettin into that uni. It varies from teachers, students who graduated there, current students, relatives, even from my weekly house cleaner who is from Indonesia!(don't ask me how she knows all this public uni entrance, coz i wanna know too)

"okkkaayyyy, sounds convincing"
So there goes the journey of me mentally preparing myself for that uni. It doesnt take much to prepare for tht, with such environment, it pretty much absorbs by itself.

As hope piles up, there goes SPLAT on ur face as the 'idea' changes direction.
Its exactly the same phase and emotions when i applied and got the results from NUS.

You might be taking me as over-confident, but try being in my position. All the 'predictions' and 'confirmations' given by others just seemed as some sweet talk in the end.

I was being rather emo and angst up for those particular few days. Till the idea of being in UKM started bein comfortable in my head.
Nopes, aint any choice for me actually...knowing i have to accept whatever it is anyway.
Bout 2k+ for a year/2 sems. Probably the cheapest fees u'll ever find for this course.

Moral of the story: Don't let urself or anyone else count the chicks before they hatch.

Coming up: The journey to complete the medical checkup report, p2p greeniz, PD BBQ trip 2007 and Green fest
