Good morning!
As I type out this post, I have just returned from my platoon mate Jun Hao’s 21st birthday bash!
Quite a number of our platoon personnel attended and the food was great. It was a great atmosphere to hang around outside of camp and we had a great time eating, talking trash, laughing, fighting, singing birthday songs and eating cakes and of course, birthday boy sabotage!
LOL I was smacked in the face with a cake from a surprise attack by the birthday boy -.-||
Nevertheless it was a great party and we departed around 10pm. TJ, Brandon and his girlfriend departed with me and we headed home via the MRT.
Right now let’s get down to some updates on what has happened since my last post.
October has ended and November has finally arrived! That means 6 more months to ORD!
191 more days! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
The countdown is still ongoing!
Darn can’t wait for 100 days, then 30 days, then 10 days, then finally 24 hours!
ARRRRHHHHHHHHHH!
Recently I saw something that interests me in NYP’s DET main page:
“Entry Requirements
We are looking for students with the passion for digital entertainment and media related work. Our entry requirements are students from GCE O levels, ITE graduates and other talented individuals with a good portfolio. Come, join the digital entertainment revolution!”
Oh wow. That is so cool -.-||.
Finally you place such shit after I had applied to TP.
WHAT THE SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
Another thing is, MUST I MAKE A FREAKING PORTFOLIO?!?!
This has always been in my mind ever since I wanted to enter this course and this is the !@#$% stupid criteria that they have posted.
And also, this mini sentence that they had placed on their website still doesn’t clearly define much about ITE entry requirements besides the portfolio route.
You might say, “Eric, isn’t this clear enough?”
Honestly, to me, NO!
I mean, those !@#$% O levels students with NO BACKGROUND on IT or game development related stuff can apply using their damn results while ITE students with freaking good results CAN’T AND MUST PRODUCE A FREAKING PORTFOLIO?!?
What kind of logic is that? You mean we ITE students ain’t that capable as some 17 year old O level students?
Academically, perhaps not, but skills wise, YES.
Then what’s the point of having an ITE where you give false hope to those that has proven and hone their skills?
Uh-oh, do I sense some kind of BIAS?
Another sentence pisses me off too:
“Last updated on 22 Aug 2008 by Coen Chua”
Oh wow. And when was the window for application? February or March right?
Wow wow wow.
Even my blog update faster than THEIR highly technologically, impressively, inspiring colourful bullshit.
Damn when I applied back in March, they did not accept ITE students. Therefore I have to apply for TP’s game development course because I WANT TO STUDY AND BECOME A GOOD GAME PROGRAMMER.
Is it that hard? I mean didn’t I work hard in ITE?
Now I have to wait for February to come along.
Now I have to try and see whether I have the chance to apply into NYP by resubmitting my application.
Now I must rush to create a portfolio if I am accepted.
Now I must prepare for a entry interview.
Now I must think of a way to get out of army if I manage to enroll into the course in April 2009.
Now I must start to read all my IT ebooks like crazy!
Man.
So much troubles in my education career.
I know and I know that man is never consistent therefore this sudden hope popped up.
I’ve been praying over this for many days now.
God oh God…please give me an answer and a plan.
Please show me the road, Lord. Is this the correct road and lane that I am taking?
The course in NYP is my dream course and will I be able to get in if I resubmit my application Lord?
Or do I remain in TP and fight for my future in that school?
Sigh.
Anyway, I got to go sleep now, didn’t had much sleep yesterday.
Might do another post later in the day.
Thanks for reading and God bless!
