for one last time:

1) yes, i’m studying at NIE and i just finished my first year.
2) what i am studying: BA(Education), Chinese Specialisation. what it means:
– i’m taking a specialised degree in education, specialising in the teaching and studying of the Chinese Language. meaning? it’s kind of like having to take a BA in Chinese and a BA in education. similar to anyways. geddit?? no? not my fault that u’re too daft or too caught up in your own stupid little worlds of biasness and narrow-mindedness. idiots.
3) it’s my 3-mth vacation now. and i’m NOT FREE. got busy the week after i finished my exams.
4) i’m not a slacker just cos im having holidays. blardie hell all other sg uni students are also having holidays and i noe people who are much free-er than i am (i go out and earn money 5days a week)
5) i know your daughters/sons/blardie idiots are studying in NTU/NUS/overseas uni but that doesnt mean i have to as well. if u dont know my problems shut the hell up.

and for goodness sake, stop asking me why i went to NIE. last explanation:

1) unlike most of you guys out there, my family doesnt have a stable / fixed monthly income. living with more money this month and less money the next due to fluctuations in monthly income means that i dont enjoy as much stability as i would want to. so you people out there who ask me this sort of stupid questions and never had to live with this sort of problems and think that the world is oh-so-beautiful just cos you dont have to work for your own money, just go eat ur own sh*T please.

2) i have a direction in life and i’m pursuing it. with a specialised degree it doesnt mean that i’m digging my own grave. it only means that i know my direction in life and what i want to do. it also means that i have employment – almost for sure. it also means that i dont spend extra unnecessary money to buy 3 years in university and a general degree when what i may be doing in future may be nothing related to my major. no offence to my friends who are taking general degrees. it just only means that everyone has their own path to walk in life and i chose mine 3 years earlier.

and for people who say: “oh never mind .. maybe this time your A-levels just unlucky lor … ” please wake up. i did NOT go to NIE just cos i did badly. yes, maybe i didn’t do as well as i would’ve liked, but i know how i did reflects how i studied and how much i studied and i have no complaints. seriously , a BBC in A-levels is not THAT bad. and please, i’m not like YOU who had to go to NTU material science and engineering just because no other courses wanted to accept you. like wake up your idea can? it is very unfair to say that just cos im in NIE that my grades had to be horrendous (cos i know i did so much better than you) or just cos people are in NIE that they had nowhere else to go. NIE is not a dumping ground, thanks a lot. i know of people who have got good grades too and are studying there out of free will and choice. stop being so narrow-minded. you may get cock-eyed. i mean, you already are. sorry for that mistake.

get a life.
