my whispers

Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post.

why yes hello world! this is my second attempt at maintaining a blog. let’s see how this goes.

but i’ve decided to keep this for my personal ranting space and not advertise the link on msn as my personal message or on facebook as my ‘what are you doing now?’ status bar. should any of my friends or family happen to chance upon this months or years to come, i apologize now for not proclaiming and holding a ‘blog’-warming party for the beginnings of this humble blog.haha

in other news, it’s been more than four years since my last failed attempted at maintaining a blog back at blogspot, i’ve survived what i used to think was the hardest examination i would ever have to sit for O LEVELS, scored decently well to get myself an ESIP scholarship and went on to the internationally known international baccalaureate program at acs and also survived what i also thought to be the hardest examination i would ever have to sit for the IB EXAMS. i survived but did below my expectations and now i am into my first month at NUS doing economics. i like it that everything i’m learning now seems so new and surreal to me, doings so many arts subject is a nice change from all the complex numbers, vectors, graphs, acid-base analysis, thermal equilibrium that i have been doing since sec 3.

people give me WHAT THE HELL were you thinking looks when they find out how i gave up stanford/berkley/yale for NUS FASS but i was faced with an economic and financial problem. no way was i going to rob my parents of another quarter of a million dollars so i can go and live the rockstar life in sunny old california while they are back in singapore slogging their lives out over work. so look all you want, i’m going to make my four years in nus the best that it ever can be (even though i hope i can get into hostel/hall)

p.s. i forgot to mention in those four years i’ve fallen in and out of love for the first time in my life and it still hurts.shit.
