Went for my medical check up today. Doctors can really really earn a lot. All they did was take a picture of my face and an x ray of my chest and I had to fork out $63. Ask some questions, squeeze my arm, hear a few heartbeats and poke at my tummy - $47. All this so that I can get my visa, which costs another A$420 (SGD 540) to apply. To date, I have spent an amount at least 3 fold the amount I managed to save the past 19 years, on my application to Flinders. I really shudder at the total amount my parents would have to spend on me if I do not get the scholarship.

My friends all say I should not have any problem getting the scholarship, but most of them said the same thing regarding my previous choice of study - medicine. Guess no one can be sure of what the future holds, except God, and this time, I better be more humble during the interview as arrogance was probably the reason for my downfall.

Btw, my nails are now in a barbie-doll pink color. I think its one of my few fashion mistakes, but it looked quite nice on the fake nail, only to look too cute on me, giving my nails a very fake look. However, I can't really bear to remove the polish as my nails were done by a manicurist, all buffed and filed. After I did my nails, I had high-tea with my ex-classmates at Hilton. Sounds tai-tai-ish to you? Well the manicure was because I had $20 worth of vouchers, so I decided to just give it a try. Overall the experience was not too bad, just that I lost one of my favourite earrings there. Walked to and fro Suntec and couldn't find it. Sad... And, the high tea was my friend's idea. I wasn't too keen as I fancied it was too ex, but since I haven't seen my friends for so long, I decided to oblige them.

After high tea, my friend wanted to drive us to Marina South but the sky threatened to pour, so we sent some back to NUS hostel, where we took a look at her room. Cosy but a tad small, making me hope that my place in Adelaide will be nice too. Downloaded my timetable, no free day, but relatively relaxed as compared to JC life. Ha! Can't wait to go... Although I will miss all my friends. But dun worry, I'll try to blog as often as I can and chat with you all online =)
