Oh man, I am offered admission to National University of Singapore (NUS). And I received this piece of news on the very day I received my final polytechnic semester results. At that moment, I was blank as it's only about two weeks after the Category B application period closed. Anyway, I am really going to a local university. No joke. Complete truth with concrete evidence.



And then, to my surprise, the next day's Straits Times had its headline for Prime News as 'polytechnic grads put squeeze on university places'. According to the newspaper, it seems to be a tough year to get into the three local universities. Both NUS and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) reported that they saw a surge in number of applications from polytechnic graduates for this year. And this is partly because most of this year's polytechnic graduates are born in 1988's Year of Dragon. So, yah, can I be considered as lucky to already secure a place in NUS? Lijuan said she agreed to this statement. Me? The answer is 'Maybe'.

Anyway, I am not going to think so much about it now as NTU has yet to send her letter to me. And I think I should look into some other important issues like academic scholarships and some private matters. Goodness, I have a whole lot to do and take note of. Hmm...maybe a rewarding holiday trip before university life will be nice.
