Wrapped Up March 2011

03 March 2011
Today is my god-sister, Nurlinda Lee's bday. Sad to say she needs to work today as her surbodinates all went for dating and left her with no choice but to work on her bday. Plus her elder son not in town. Only her daughter remembers and wished her before she came to work.

I, being her sister, how can forget and missed her presents. Since now Sticky is so famous. So I decided to get one cute pack for her.

When she saw it, she say why you buy this? Somemore its pink colour. Hey, you did not see the picture meh? It is so cute. I thought you will love it.

Anyway, its thoughts that count. Even if she did not ate the sweets, but at least is my gift to her.

Knowing her for years, only recently she was addicted to online facebook. Wonder when she mastered that. Sometimes at night, she will use fb chats to chat with me.

Sometimes she will sms me. Frankly speaking, we became sisters was fate. She took care of us like mother when we worked under her. But strangely, I felt she is Sister more than Mother. So I asked if I can call her Jie. She also felt I am like her small sister. We are also very click. So she agreed.

Over the years, though we did not meet everyday. Not even once a week. But strangely, we are still that close and often will tease each other to show we are still alive. That is our way of communication.

Just want to tell her, if she happened to read this, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! :D

Finally the fearful day had arrived. After 2pm, verdict will be announced. Either find full time or part time job depends on what was the verdict.

As I do not wished to face it alone, I decided to meet Kaiting and Evonne. Firstly was also because, Kaiting's birthday is coming. So wanted to gave her present.

Secondly was also because, we very long never meet liaoz. But they came after I knew the results.

Unbelievable but expected, I was offered Diploma in Hotel and Hospitality Management from Republic Polytechnic. Will start class on 18 April 2011 if all went smoothly.

The moment I saw that sentence:
Dear Elaine Seah,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been offered [3 Yrs] RP - Hotel and Hospitality Management, R373 at Republic Polytechnic. An enrolment package will be mailed to you for you to indicate your course acceptance.

I was over the moon, That was really what I am feeling now. Had been trying for 2 years after graduated from ITE. Finally 7 years later after I graduated and worked in society. I am finally offered a course of my wish.

Though RP was not my first choice and I already prepared to go there to study. To be able to enter was already great news. Plus, my mother promise to support me on meals and transportation expenses. On top of that, I can use my cpf to pay off the tuition fees which is around $1100 per semester.

As for the supplement fees, i shall raise it when I found my part time job.

Thanks all who had helped me along the way, encourage me when I almost wanted to give up hope. I love you all. :D

18 March 2011
Today is the first day of the registration. I woke up early in the morning just to catch early train and go for my registration hall.

Only to find out, the whole registration will only start next monday. Today will solely for the lappy reformating. I thought just bring my lappy to there and they could make wonders. Sad to say, they told me that I must have external CD rom as my lappy did not have an inbuilt drive.

What a shocking news. I was wondering if there is any place I can borrow and have it done soon. Also, I found that I cannot pay the registration fees in cash. I have to use nets. Even after I did the online enrolled, I still need eNets or credit cards to do online payments.

I also need a photo for the student ezlink card. So I went to deposit the money I borrowed from Mum and did online payment so as to secure my seat.

Afterwhich, I went to look for cheapest external DVD drive for my reformatting. Luckily I found it at Cash Converters which is selling at $45. Sad to say, I only have $30. Still short of $15.

No choice, I took another loan from mum. Luckily she have it. I will go down early morning to get it so that I can reformat my lappy on Monday. Thanks mummy for all the help rendered. :D

Today, bringing my lappy, external dvd drive, charger down for reformatting. Only to know all data will be cleaned off. I did not thought of backing up my songs, only backed up some files and saved in my email.

After they formatted at 12.30pm, all files, songs gone. The whole lappy looks brand new with the only that looks like mine was the student ID 115576.

As I brought with me the thumbdrive of the backed up to be transferred over and some websites saved in my email, I began to add back all the items one by one.

Looks like before school starts, I will have to keep uploading songs from all CDs. After did the formatting, all the neccessary steps for enrolment. I went to asked the information counter to double checked if I am really accepted by the school. He gave me a very positive answer and say, all the details on the class and stuffs will be given during the orientation camp 13-15 April.

I am so looking forward for the orientation now. Foolish me thought orientation camp are the camps that you have to stay in school for 3 days like what we did in Secondary school. Shows that I am very naive and foolish. :D
