It is CNY eve but i am feeling damn depressed. This is because another door has been shut infront of my face. Earlier on last year, i was thinking of applying for the MOE teaching award should my A lvl results be satisfyingly good. Just moments ago, i was browsing through the MOE website when I saw this notice "MOE Teaching Award Application Open". As such, i clicked it only to be welcomed by a words document file of the 10+ pages long application booklet. Applicants should fill in the booklet and send it to MOE by a certain date. Hence, i browsed through the booklet only to realize it is almost impossible for me to stand a chance. Firstly, CCA record. Applicants are required to send in any CCA record certificates to prove good CCA record. However, although i've gotten some CCA mentionable low-end award or something in JC, i've yet to collect the stupid cert from the HOD Of CCA (u all shd noe who) in oct 2006 coz i ponned the last PE session (the whole day) when they gave away the cert. And up till now, i guess the cert has been shredded to strips for being unclaimed (by me). This means i am less qualified to be short listed by that award. Secondly, it would be advantageous for applicants who have prior job experience as relief teacher. While i hav applied for relief teaching, i remained unhired till now even though i've mass emailed alot of schools. Even my sec sch did not hire me even though i made a personal trip down to apply. This means that i have zero job experience for teaching and hence stand even lower chance to get that moe teaching award. As for now, i think based on my results alone is totally useless because one, my results are not confirmed to be good, second, even if my results are good, i have almost zero non-academic backups to make me stand out of the many applicants. This means that the door to apply for MOE Teaching Award has been shut directly infront of my face and hence i am indeed very very depressed because i am rather sure teaching is a career for me. You guys out there who are reading this, what do you think i should do? Go jump off the building and end my miserable life? Or follow the trend and jump MRT track...

Today is Valentine's Day. It is a day and the day where love fills the air. While some argues that such a day is over commercialised by high price fine dining, luxurious gifts, etc, others feel that it is a good opportunity for one to treat his/her lover with such kinda luxury. Some people may feel that we do not need to overspend on this particular day only when we can treat our lover equally well everyday, blah blah blah. Anyway, whatever it is, there is also another camp against this special day, yes, the Anti-Valentine's Day camp. Unfortunately i am currently "part of it". Haha. Coz for my past 18+ years i've yet to find a girlfriend, i.e. remain SINGLE for the past 18+ years, which is sorta pathetic.
As for now, i shall hide my desperation to find a girlfriend and hopefully fate let me and my right one meet asap. Awwww....Because i've been single ever since i was born up till now, i've yet to experience the taste of true love. The sweetness-of-2-lovers experience has yet to make its mark on my life. Haiz. Just now when i was outside, i saw young couples holding hands walking past me, they act so sweetly which kinda make me feel sour. Perhaps i may not be attractive enough to make a girl fall for me, perhaps my right one has yet to come, all i can do is to wait. I so want to fall in love !!!
Anyway, i think that for Valentine's day, wont it be romantic to spend it in a simple way, e.g. having a picnic under the stars and stuff rather than spending huge sums of money at some high class restaurant. It is the thought that counts isnt it? Furthermore, simple things can be memorable as well. Oh yes, not forgetting love songs. Listening to these love songs makes me want to fall in love. For the love birds out there, i have some recommandations on the songs you may wish to listen to.Here are my pick of 19 love songs that makes you very touched and want to fall in love.

2. Beautiful Love by Tanya Chua
3. Shan Hu Hai by Jay Chou & Lara
4. Jian Dan Ai by Jay Chou
5. Superwoman by Gary Cao
6. Jin Tian Ni Yao Jia Gei Wo by Jolin & David Tao
7. Hen Xiang Ni by ZChen
8. Waiting For You by Anson Hu
9. Ai Hen Jian Dan by David Tao
10. Dui De Ren by Dai Ai Ling
11. Liang San Bo & Juliet by Gary Cao & Genie Zuo
12. Zui Shu Xi De Mo Sheng Ren by Elva Hsiao

Went to the NTU talk at suntec city yesterday with my pri sch clique except yy. Met mk and julia at amk mrt 8am so that we can hav breakfast after that. Mk was, as usual, late...this time for half an hour. Haha. We made our way to AMK Mac to hav breakfast which took us like, an hour? I do not know why. PE said he would not b having breakfast with us and hence he decided to meet us at city hall. Well, by the time the 3 of us reached city hall, pe was alreadi there waiting for hell knows how long. We walked to suntec convc centre only to discover that the venue was filled with lotsa pple like us. Haha. We stepped into room 201 to attend the material eng talk, at which we were late for 10min or so. Afterwhich, me and julia went to attend the chemical eng talk while pe n mk when for brunch at pastamania. The chem eng talk wasnt very useful coz it was rather short and took only like 15min while the other 30min was taken up by the bio engineering part. Well, i always tot of enrolling for chem engineering coz i m interested in chem n phys and also, chem eng hav gd jobs prospect.
After that i accompanied julia to attend her bio sci & tcm talk while mk went for the arts and media design talk. PE went for the humanities n chinese talk and stuff. Yah. As the time goes, more and more pple appeared and the place gets more and more packed. The tcm talk by that angmoh prof was rather boring, i was falling asleep most of the time. Haha. Hey, wait a min, i tot this double degree course is the one my cousin is taking. Haha. After that me and julia went to attend the chemistry talk while mk n pe went for the business talk i think. The chemistry talk was fun. The lecturer crap alot, reminded me of patrick lim & lim kim thye of ajc. Haha. He talk bout wads e diff b/w chem eng and chem which made me think twice of enrolling for chem eng. Also, he said his new team at ntu were previously from nus, and they fled over when then the head of sci fac at nus jumped ship. So i was like thinking, hey, these guys r gd so i wont mind studying a bachelor of sci , chemistry in NTU. Haha. Furthermore its direct honors and also they deal with mostly organic chem, which i like. But still, they oso say they deal wif drugs and food which is also dealt with by chem eng so i started to get abit confuse n stuff. But then i was like sorta swayed towards chemistry rather than chem eng. Yah.
Anyway, it was 2pm alreadi and the 4 of us decided to go hav lunch. Coz suntec was packed, we went to kfc to hav lunch where i tried the new twister wrap thingy. It reminds me of the chicken strip they introduced to their menu years ago when i was in pri sch but suddenly one fine day removed it from their menu. Haha. Hopefully they can introduce chicken strips back to the menu again. Anyway, afterthat pe went home coz he had to book-in in the evening while the remaining 3 of us went back to the talk . Me n julia went for the admin/scholarship talk but we walked out 5 min later coz the prof was too boring and he was like crapping dunno wad nonsense on how we shd go global. Duh. So we decide to walk around the booth where we asked the pple there qns to clear our doubts. I cleared my doubts on the course bacholar of education (sci) at the NIE booth. Haha. After that it was like 4pm + alreadi. So we walked back to city hall and take mrt home.
In conclusion, the talk was rather infomative coz i got exposed to more courses available and what these courses dealt with individually. This leave me with more options once i got my results very soon to come. Now i was like considering whether to chose chem eng or chemistry as my main option. Oh yes, did i mention that i saw alot of familiar faces there. Some of them r ex zhss schmates, some 2205 classmates like weihui, minli & shermin, some ajcian, some first 3 months friends and also a very blissful couple from my cca. Haha. Ok lar, thats all for today. Hopefully results will not b so bad then i can hav more options. Also looking forward to attend nus n ntu open house in early march.
