life choice

If you have a girl friend or boy friend at this point of time, will you announce to others that you will marry him/her to the end of your life?

Talent is not the most important quality that scholarship agenices are looking for. They are looking for loyalty. In their words, 'passion'.

Well, i feel i do not fit into their expectations.

but anyway, why not give it a try?

career choice is not an impulse at 19 years old.

Today, I asked the A*star chairman of science and engineering council about the challenges faced by their scholars.

'academically no challenge' was the main idea of his answer. and he seemed quite reluctant to go to other fields. he then talked about some nerd/genius who got 3 degrees in 3 years.

so i guess they really want the book worms liao... just study. u don't have to use ur precious brain to think other stuff. just do research.

i feel it is like a 'specialised intelligent slave', the prototype for artificial intelligence

and asked why MIT, Caltech, Princeton and Harvard are not in their selected overseas universities for undergrad programme, he told me he expect the scholars to get the degree in 3 years. and those prestigious schools require 4 years.

yups, anyway finishing a BS in 3 years saves a lot of money for A*star.
