My little post to NUS...
Tried applying for NUS again, 2006. Not really pinning much hope this time since they've rejected me twice. *sigh* But anyway, under the "Outstanding Singular Talent", I wrote this :
This may seem like an indirect appeal to my admission. Still, I would like it to be known that many times have I reflected about what I would like to achieve this lifetime during my 2 years of National Service. I deeply regret the lack of focus I had during my 'A' levels which resulted in me being unable to secure a place in university till now. On the issue of setbacks, I would have had my fair share successively, with my grades dipping since primary school. And fortunately (or unfortunately), it isn't till now have I sober up and realised what I am required to do to make this life worthwhile. Never had I been more determined to pick myself up and start afresh. However sorry for myself it may seem, nothing could be proven unless I am given a second chance. The poor grades would depict what I was like when I was still foolish, which I am sure is now a distant past. I would like to achieve something I could be proud of, to prove the doubters wrong and make a comeback in life, and all I seek now, is an opportunity for that to happen.
I wonder if that would be half convincing enough for my spot. =\ They may probably take my 'talent' as whining anyway. Oh well, back to camp again next week. Things to settle. Hai. Leave form to England, Downgrade status, The shit S4 wants help for, Trying to get excused from Thailand, yada yada. Already in the ORD mood, gonna have a phobia of staying in.
