April has already left us and today is a brand new month, May. Perhaps the fact that today is labour day does not make a difference to me. Yes finally no work on a Saturday weekend. I have been slogging for the past few weeks. Up till today I think I have only taken one day leave. One was for the NTU interview and another was for the audit training. The emphasis on all these matters can't be stress enough.
Even though I was not accepted into my dream course, I will definitely appeal come 20 May. But I am definitely grateful that two local university has considered me to be eligible for their programmes. Yes, I did not apply for SMU because the way of theirs thinking are different from mine. There is still grumblings to be heard though I am quite contented of the outcome. My dad told me to be contented for what I have achieved given my input. He pointed out that there are others who don't make the cut. Indeed, I should be grateful that I secured a place there. A lesson learnt make me realised that not all things go in your way and appreciate what I have.
Other than the acceptance letter, I have also received the inevitable NS enlistment letter. According to my conservation with the NS Officer, he said that this batch was for those who fail their napfa. So another additional two months? The intake is 4 June 10 and school 3. What about my world cup? I waited for 4 years to watch this. Back then in 2006, I was having my mid-sem and did not catch them in action. So officially, I have only watch the 2002 final.
Ok, back to the topic National Service. I am still pondering if I should retake my napfa. Time for me to pull those bars. I am going to force myself to be physically fit. The reason is because a fit NS man has more opportunity for different vocation. And usually those with top wages or manageable workload will be prime target. Working @ IRAs will continue as per normal for now.
