Got accepted into NUS Faculty of Science! Received the message and email from NUS on Friday and it definitely enhanced my mood even further since it was book out day too heh. Was kind of worried that NUS would send me the notification too late since the deadline of 1st of June is drawing closer. Multiple doors are being opened for me. To my relevation during BMT on what I really want to do in the future (teaching), to being offered by NUS FoS a discretionary interview when it is my third choice and I didn't really fill up the form for the discretionary interview and to me finally being offered the course. This is no coincidence. Can't wait till army is over so I can finally study. Never thought I would say this but I really want to study. NS really does make one's mind dull (true story)

Can't find out the reason why NS makes us undergo training on weekends only to give us back a day off on a weekday or whatever they deem fit. If they are able to give back a wasted weekend as a day off, can't they have that training on that day set aside for day off? After we have 2 years and really that's alot of time if not more than enough time to train a soldier. (I have seen how people who are going to ORD in 4-6 months time wasting their life away in camp doing....nothing). Then again, Justin made an excellent point. To other people unlike us, their weekends and their weekdays are not really much different. What they can do on their weekends, they can do on their weekdays so it doesn't really matter to them. Going to pass out and end my driving course in two weeks. Hopefully it will be different than the course and more admin time will be given heh.
