Oh yah, I had my Nanyang Scholarship interview this morning. Woosh, I swear that it had been very confusing for me to reach the venue. Luckily, I had Serene Tan, who I actually met in the bus towards NTU, and, of course, Huixin to assist me to walk from nowhere to somewhere. Certainly, it has sounded kinda crazy. Even the officer from Office of Admissions and Financial Aid can sense that I really had taken quite a hard time to walk towards the venue.

Anyway, over there, I saw two polytechnic schoolmates, where one is my classmate for some modules and another is from Aerospace Engineering, coming after me for the interview. And we had chatted for quite a while before calling upon for the interview. Oh, I also realised that I am not awarded with any Medal, apart from Diploma with Merit. Well, it is rather disappointing for me. But, I also know that I don't deserve it as my polytechnic CCA record is not up to attain any award. So, I am not so disappointed anymore.

Oh, as for the interview itself, it was conducted by a panel of three where one is the officer from the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid and another two are from the College of Engineering. Okay, at least, the interview had started off well as somebody from the panel thought that I was quite prepared for their questions. Then, the difficult question popped out from the same person. Having to realise my polytechnic results, she questioned my choice between the university and National University of Singapore (NUS). Well, I don't think that I gave the panel a definite answer as I believe both universities have their own strong points, which will allow me to be more ready for the future. Also, to be frank, I am actually still looking at the opportunity costs of giving up one university for another. It is just difficult. My brain really hurts.

Okay, I shan't stop thinking about it first. Let both universities consider about whether they should award me with a scholarship or not. I guess it'll be wise for me to make any move after them. That's because some major issues might be affected when I am to make any choice.
