( the show seems so juvenile and less exciting after watchin grey's)
n im at the episode where they're all waiting for their college letter to come.
i remembered that day so clearly mann.
i stopped working temp at starhub and decided that gina pris and i will go to bali together n have fun.
it was already May i think and it didnt seem like I was goin to any sch anyway. it was the last thing on my mind. but we didnt' make it to Bali anyway and we spent 3 days at pris's house baking and making sushi. the girls wanted me to be happy and not be so upset that we didnt make it to bali.
i was at Strip holland v, wearing my zara black and white skirt with my black halter, i painted my nails white with black flowers at exotic nails earlier that day... . my mom called while we were in the middle of a waxing session and i had to answer it and obviously i couldnt tell her i was at a waxing parlour. so there i was ...bottomless sitting down and listening intently to my mommsy.
she was damn excited on the fone, she said there was a letter with NTu's sch logo on the envelope. i told her to open it and read it for me. she did. and she repeated " you have been accepted"
she told me i was accepted and i was so relieved. hearing the joy in her voice was enough.
i was going to uni ,even got accepted in common engineering in ntu. my first choice.
this was 3 years ago. my goodness. can u believe how fast time flies?
we were havin brekkie at the lousy Hong Kong cafe that has mushroomed everywhere in singapore, and she told me about her friend's daughter who met a lawyer dude at Zouk and they had their nice big ballroom wedding at Shangrila. She's a lil concerned i think.
today i asked her whether she was worried i'll never be able to find a job.
she said to me " i've seen u through so much since you were young, of cos i know u'll find a great job"
sure it's not one of the top uni degrees but u know it's so heartening to know that when i graduate, it'll be a fresh clean sheet. i don't owe anybody anything.the world is my oyster. i could go anywhere to find my first job. n then it'll be further studies. n then everything should flow.
i am half excited already thinking about it.
my mom is a great woman.
i wanna bring up my kid the way she brought me up. no beating and alot of forgiving.
i know this is such a speech meant for graduation day,im half practicising for it. but i think i might wanna postpone graduation by working for a sem before i start on year 4 sem 1 again. but im not surre too.
oh its so scary just thinking about it. i wanna graduate with mery n nadia and throw the biggest graduation party ever and head down to NY with mery bums.
anyway im amazed i've been in the house for these 2 days.my eyes can barely open, i am about to set a record. heee
i so need to get well.
