Its funny how the world really works eh? The way it goes about just makes you think about it more and more.
I had a feeling last night wasnt a really good time to go the pond.

And indeed it wasnt!

My faithful rod that has been with me for 4 years snapped. Ah well, I had good memories with it so I wont complain about the night any further.
Anyway, I was looking through the NAA/DC section application to NTU. I realised with great..ah...that dumb R word...REGRET..that obviously I should have followed my own passions in the past.

There were two out of four criterias which I could have made so much more appealing.

• Active involvement/participation in community services and/or volunteering work
• Demonstrated excellence in areas such as leadership, entrepreneurship, arts & culture, sports, etc

I got no worries about the community service section though. I got two more years to boost it up nicely before I apply again when I ORD from NS. Thankfully, the NVPC is a reliable organisation too! As for the 2nd point, its like a downhill curve from good to virtually nothing. I got my OC's testimonial for the leadership  part which would be a good help. For the entrepreneurship part, I have my poly testimonial to cover that since I took up entrepreneurship for my FYP. Obviously it could be much more prolific if I had gone ahead to start up my sandwich business which I've been planning for 3 years! The arts & culture part was only existent in secondary school where I was in the drama club for 3 years and we won the Gold Award at SYF in 2005. Not a very strong thingy though.

The part that really gripes me is the sports section! All those bunches of medals gathering rust and trophies gathering dust (HEY THAT RHYMED!) were just sports day, cross country and inter house competitions. It might have been different if I carried on in the TP track & field team. sigh. To think it was my passion for years..and still is though. Ah well, at least I have Changi United for now. Although the football passion isnt burning as bright as for running, I'll follow through on it for my NYAA.

Then I'll really follow through on that childhood dream of athletics.
Now why is a whole post dedicated to this? Because my gpa clearly aint good enough for anything!
