I've received the application form already, which I think all undergraduate students would have lol

I think life here is getting better. I just registered myself at the Disability Student Services department.

They are giving me so much support not paralleled probably by any other institution I've been to. And I found out there were alot of similar people experiencing problems like me too (albeit much severe).

I get to stay on campus for all three years and decide on accommodation type.

My counselor threw a small fit at some of the staff because I wasn't phoned or mail despite having stated in the application form that I had a learning disability ( and some other issues I will not reveal).


I have to meet the counselor at least once a week as she needs to check if I have been taking my pills and how things have been going along for me. She even referred me to a regular psychiatrist that most of her students see which is alot, alot cheaper ( I cannot emphasize this enough). Cost has been a major factor in why I have not been regularly following up or taking medication, so I really can't be thankful enough.

To all students and prospect students who share similar circumstances with me, I strongly advise you DO REGISTER there because they dispense infallible support. For people like us, there is nothing to be frightened about the usual stigma affiliated with mental health issues such as learning disabilities or mental disorders because very, very few of them equates to being psychotic. Students like us get certain assistance that will prove invaluable in terms of academic performance.


I feel very happy today

I had to accept before getting my offer letter too. LoL. Invitation to treat hahahahhahaaa

But I wasn't made to place any deposit. I think because you applied for a very competitive course...

There are quite some chicks in Electrical and Chemical Engineering la....I'm living next to a few

My class got 12 people right now. Score top ten.........wtf 2 people only?!?!?!

I bugged them the moment the clock hit 12am. lol.

I remember my friend telling me being a consultant in engineering usually requires at least masters before anything...do correct me if I'm wrong.

And that why our courses are shorter than our Aus/Us counterparts is usually because these degrees are tailored for those in the UK who went through 2 years of a levels studies. :S

You know I have these weird study dreams, where I actually go to sleep after studying a bit, dream of waking up, studying, finishing my work etc, and then to wake up to realize it never happened. Super fucuked up

I just typed 3k words 2 days ago typing for me is easy, but referencing is troublesome

HAHAHAHAHAH thats why some assessor sat in your class right? I think I know which class you are from.

I feel kinda anxious about the star education fund interview(s). Currently prepping my poor bf.....

My bf made a call to Susanna Kuan, the edu fund manager, asking whether he has to declare his parents' income. She pretty much gave him a green light along the course of the conversation, saying that the application was excellent and that he has a very high chance of getting selected. She helped correct a few errors on his application too How kind!

Interview takes place late May/early June. Question prepping is basically research XDDD

Mech engineering. XD Btw, when I meant question prepping, we meant researching everything and asking around. Seriously if anyone from the fund reads this, don't fail my bf on the basis of cheating or wtv.

Hehehehhehehehe not from edu fund. Never really researched on the net though. Use mouth ask around lor. XD

Yeah he's damn smart. He got first in his whole school and got first for physics in his college. But his studies got stagnated because of financial problems and he has been working for the past one year.
