Matriculation package has arrived! The day is getting closer and the feeling is getting all the more mixed. I can't imagine myself studying after slacking (i mean really slacking) for so long. Yet, a new phase bringing hope and excitement is falling upon me, after a long, baited wait.
Whew, didn't know that there were so many forms to be filled yet...TFL, declaration, Student Grant, CPF etc etc....not done with them yet
Acceptance begins today and I wasted no time, of course. I have my Matriculation No.!
Received the email from FOC 2005 committee regarding the orientation camp at Sentosa in early July. Am I attending? In my condition? Ney...but with the email list, I shockingly discovered only 98 freshmen for SCI this AY? Possible? Maybe more will join after the joint acceptance is settled and the appeals get processed, but the number will still remain very small! Good....
And of course, I did a search down Friendster and churned out about a-third of my soon-to-be course mates...looks like a really nice bunch of people...=)

3 days ago,my handphone's alarm sounded at 9am sharp. Awoken adruptly, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh at the reminder set some a year ago.
2 months has passed since ORD in April, more than that if the part of clearing leave is counted. I have went from the high of my lifer after ORD (the HK and Italy trips) to the lows right now. After the fall, I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. The first round of blood and urine tests to determine the cause of it returns a slightly unfavourable reading for my liver. Second rounds of blood test results are due two days later. Even though I have been called for an ultrasound before the appointment, I do not know if this ultrasound is for locating the gland that is generating too much cortisol (a stress hormone) that is causing a condition called Cushing's Syndrome (hence resulting in osteoporosis) or whether it is something to do with my liver. Fingers crossed.
Since the fateful day nearly a month ago, blogging has become somewhat less attractive. I felt depressed, but never as depressed as that first night on Tekong alone. Truely, whenever you hit a trough in your life, family and friends' support can be a very motivating force. I didn't tell the whole story to all my friends. Most only know that I had a spine fracture and that's it. For the fracture, I think it has more or less stabilised, but the doctor at Raffles Hospital does not deem it necessary to have another X-ray. It's time to go right down to the root cause and settle once and for all. Menawhile, I am still more than a month away (14 Jul) from my 1ST follow-up appointment with the SGH spine specialist since my A&E visit.
But life still goes on. I have passed the 2 years I deemed as the lowest in my life, so nothing's gonna stop me from moving on further. Besides, it's not critical illness.
64 Day
We're 5! 64-day came and past. Had dinner at Marche; 12 guys and 1 gal turned up. Hmmm, how did I feel? Those who know me well should know...well at least it was breather after staying cooped up at home for 2 weeks. And of course, photos!

Deemed as "VIP" of the day, Guowei's first class outing...
And before going into Marche, witnessed the filming of the last episode of 缘来就是你 outside Heeren. Low-budget stage area, producer whom wants that few fixed shots for every episode, the ever-unchanging way of planting the participants in the crowed. It's just so Mediacorp. Yawnz....
Kym entertaining the audience while the producer goes on and on with the participants backstage
Cameras rolling...
A doctor looking for partner...
The candidates...I don't know who won 'cos I left before they finished. They took more than an hour to film it, with probably only 20 minutes footage to be edited into 7 minutes of the show. Blame the fugly producer.
