after the "24k", the skin that sloughed off the sides of my toes has grown back in an ugly, haphazard way. there's also a blood clot on the sole of my right foot which i can't be bothered to get rid of, since it's not killing me. random, unnecessary revelation of the day! (:
anyway, when i went for NUS' open house last year, there was no method to my madness, and it only served to put me off being matriculated there. but now, times have changed and in all honesty, i don't mind at all except for the fact that it reminds me of a gigantic, labyrinthine version of the RJ Mt Sinai campus. which just doesn't appeal at all. but i have faith in its academic rigour - and it goes easy on the pockets.
SMU's got a really nice campus and that would be a bigger factor of consideration than their academic programs. you may laugh, but i really believe that the environment plays a big part in learning. this is why i had absolutely no mood to study in J1. i know many people hold fond memories of that rundown junkhouse but i was more than happy to leave the dingy dank darkness. how can an institution inspire academic pursuit when its very being inspires soporiferous tendencies . the only problem with SMU is that its campus sprawls out in the damn city, so you don't know which building is part of the school, and which isn't. even though NUS sprawls too, at least it's all confined in one place. i had a hard time finding out where the open house was when i visited SMU, so there's a negative point for it.

yeah, i always figured i was an emo indie flick waiting to be discovered, a diamond in the rough. it ain't glamorous, and something only a few people appreciate fully.
