having such a bad backache now that i couldnt even wear my own shoes. =( wonder what's wrong with me. old age, maybe.
went to queensway with jacq yesterday to get her sneakers! walked around the maze-like shopping centre, lol. after that we went to town to walk around. basically a walk-around-aimlessly day. but i got flats! and she got another top. =D
went to the ntu hi-tea today! it was pretty informative. they talked about the different majors they offer. i like tourism and hospitality! but they only offer 50 places. marketing sounds pretty fun too. lol. was so lost at first but then i saw stacy who was also feeling quite lost. hahaha. she says it's like a brainwashing session and that she's still waiting for nus and considering smu. i didnt think it was a brainwashing session, cuz im already brainwashed. LOL. heck nus, and i didnt even apply for smu. =D ntu ntu NTU!!!
dont diss my obsession off first. i have my reasons for supporting ntu okay.
let me first compare smu and ntu. but this is just my very PERSONAL opinion okay. everyone's entitled to think differently. if you're a fan of smu, then you can leave my blog right now. okay. firstly, smu just gave me a really bad impression, in terms of who they employ as teaching staff. i still remember that transvestite guy in a tight suit who couldnt talk properly. -.- and this other guy whose face just fell and looked bu shuang and kept saying "are you all sure you all dont want to sit in for the next talk? it's really informative you know..." in a tone that suggests we're idiots for choosing to walk out of the hall after the first talk.(which 90% of the people did.) and the way smu people KEEEEEEEP saying how their small tutorial classes will cater to us much better than ntu/nus. they couldnt stop comparing, seriously. i also dont like how they greatly emphasize on class participation, and even grade you for it. every class will be like a competition to see who talks more. everyone will be fighting to talk and shooting daggers at each other. so very sad.
on the other hand, ntu is much cosier. when someone asked the professor who was talking to us just now to compare ntu with the other universities, he said "i wont say we're better or worse, inferior or superior, it's just that we offer a different value." what a parting shot! and he looks so keen and so glad to be talking to us. he keeps assuring us that everyone will be offered an opportunity at ntu. aint it cool. they even guarantee we'll have a hostel to stay at for the first year. smu doesnt even have hostels. no midnight supper, night cycling, overnight mahjong sessions...
as for nus, it's much better than smu lah. and i'd go there if there wasnt so much competition for the hostels and throughout the school, and if they had the 3-year direct honours thing.
