no worries bro..don keep letting all this affect u..just keep trying and u will go through all this..last time i was like this also but..keep learning and learning is the main point.

and go count among the students, how many of them are actually come with art background. =) don let that limit ur creativity

I know I will be able catch up, but I'm abit lagging at the start because of lack of background. It's just that sometimes I very jelly with some of my friends, they get their assignments done pretty quick >.< Like today, first time I hold brush.... use poster colour for design class... Feel so now, my friend beside me like expert liao 
I'm just abit worried about Drawing and the Design class. I'm having a hard time constructing those straight lines and curves (especially circles...) very difficult, I find myself always erasing and erasing 
To me, these are my least preferred classes >.<
Figure studies is my number one choice 

Anyways, do you have any other target besides TOA? Maybe any other overseas institutes?

I know the requirements but I was wondering, with 5As, what are the chances of getting a scholarship? and does TOA accept trials results?

I missed the Outstanding award competition, so my hope of getting a scholarship lies in external scholarships i'm guessing

I'm planning to take Diploma in illustration, but wondering, how much the total cost All my friends saying that TOA very expensive + alot of hidden costs? Anyone can elaborate?

completely agree with you. before i study multimedia, i already research the salary and the demands. but then i dont wanna waste my life doing things that im not enjoy just to get alot of money. so far it already 1 years and im enjoy doing the assignment and all (because it something that i love). i didnt even stress compare to my friend(their parent force them to study "demand course") where they end up being miserable and regret. if u doing things that you like and interest then u never bored, u feel like doing a hobby rather than work.
