You know how to make everyone on the train look at you like a total freak? Arm yourself with a camera and start taking photos. That's what I did today, but I was taking photos cos of ART, not for some other perverse voyeuristic reason. There were a few women looking at me as if I was holding a gun, not a camera, and some old men were staring too. But there was this girl, who stared malevolently at me like I had just threatened to send the bubonic plague down to her entire family. Despite it all, I feigned ignorance and continued happily snapping away with my new Nikon Coolpix S1. It was at Jurong East anyway, cos I wanted a train station with a middle platform. At first it was okay cos I wasn't alone but after he left, my bodyguard was gone and I had to look intimidating. I am van, hear me roar.
Anyway, I finally settled all my testimonials, awards and stuff and dumped them into a manila envolope and sent the thing over to MINDEF. It's really no looking back now. I'm actually not very confident of being shortlisted.. but there's really no harm trying. Next week's a relatively easy week for me. Only International History and Dio's paper to study for, and also, prac crit but how do you study for THAT? It's my last week that's tough. Oh well. It'll be over soon. Hang in there everyone :)
