Today I went for scholarship day with my sister and mother. We came back with lots of goodies that are not relevent to us, not meant for us, and cannot be used by us. My mother and sister just took everything they could take, and so we had lots of stuff to carry... its not like I'll take every scholarship if I can, I would be mostly interested in A*, DSTA, MOE or SAF.

They took:

PSC, GIC, MAS, Police, SAF women, Singapore Power, PUB, Design.

Personally I would only take pamphlets from NUS, NTU, A*, DSTA, SAF and MOE. The rest are not really relevent to me.

And I saw bad behaviour today. During the DSTA speech, you could hear handphones ringing pretty often.

After the speech in the question and asnwer session, there came the ultimate:

A woman, presumably a parent, asked the senior public relations officer a question, and she politely answered. While she was answering, her handphone rang. She took out her phone (which isn't supposed to ring anyway!), and she ANSWERED IT and walked away while the PRO was answering her question. There is like almost no regard for her! Lao eh.

An indicent later brightened up my day. My mother and sister wanted to shop at junction 8, but I have to go for tuition so I had to carry all the scholarship goodies home. As you can remember, there was a lot of it. While I was walking towards the MRT station, an RJ girl with two other people around approached me and asked me to donate for some "Very special arts" thing. Here's roughly what she said:

"Hi! We are Rafflesians too! Would you like to donate to our cause, it is to fund the "Very special arts programme" for the disabled members of the society... As you can see, a lot of potential scholars have signed and donated. So you should donate too."

Both the two people with her and I were laughing, and I reached for my wallet.

"I really hope you become a scholar."

ROFLMAO.

But when I took my wallet out I realised I have no money. :( A bit paiseh. The first time I sincerely wanted to donate I have no money :(( I was thinking that by donating I could encourage her to entertain more people with her powerful BSing skills. Aiyar. THIS is what I call very special arts.

If for some reason that particular RJ girl happens to come by this place, I really really realllly had no money. I really wanted to donate, and I sincerely thank you for brightening my day.
