Well, just on tuesday morning when i finished eating breakfast, i was told to go and do my student ID so i went to the bookstore and queue up for it... then, my mother came and told me that they were calling my name.. so i went and saw four other students standing there and a teacher was instructing them on what to do... and i was told that I GOT INTO ACADEMIC CLASSES! And that means that i've gotten 85 and above... i was like wow... and quite happy... haha... BUT, we have to take the compass test immediately... so five of us went up and paid 11.25 dollars for it and headed straight to the test centre...

When we reach there, i was like wow again..haha... because their test is conducted in a computer room... And they don't use computers but laptops as tseting machine... haha...

We were tested on reading which we were given 3 or 4 short passages and we had to answer the questions... that was really hard... i think it's a little bit harder than our school paper(YTSS)... Then we were tested on writing where we had to correct the sentences of the 3 passages... so it was sort of editing... it was ok... THEN, the maths test came up and i was like i haven't been touching math for like 4-5 months and out of the sudden you are testing me on that?? I totally lost confidence and screwed up... the math test was like from the easiest questions to the hardest... and if you got one question wrong, you couldn't take the test anymore because the com will say STOP! haha... and yeah, i screwed up one simple question and had to stop...

The results were given immediately after you stopped because the main system will get the score and print it out immediately... and my score for math was low...T_T... so i went down as told by the instructors after i got out of the com room and saw the advisors who were all teachers... i knew one advisor from Singapore because my mother found him and introduced him to me... he is very nice and explained all the things to me... So i had to retake my math test since the other level is so easy... so i quickly went to practice the sample paper for another half an hour and took my lunch and went for the test... there is one question on data which i think i have never learned that before... the standard was like paper one of o levels... so it was still ok... the paper was written so the taecher marked it in front of us... i'm surprised that all the other students did not pass it(i passed it)... maybe it's because the passing mark is 80%.(i got 90%..hehe..)

On the next day, i went for the compass test again and i went to the next level of english test! :) Then i went to register for my classes... alot of them were full, or the timing is not good...(like i have the reading class from 7-9.30pm)...haiz... i'm still on waiting list for math and philosophy...haiz...but nevermind... there is still a chance.. haha...

i've written alot! Hope you guys don't find it boring... haha... :)

That's the living room with a small kitchen at the back...haha. ok... i've got so much to talk about so i'll start with today first...
Today is the first day of orientation and its the worst i've ever had! T___T i didn't make a friend at all! so you can imagine i'm mute from 8 plus in the morning to almost 5 pm..... except when i take my placement test where one part is oral....
The placement test was easy but i can't guarrantee that i can get a 85 and above to go to academic classes which is first year of university....so if i can't and there is no friends in the language classes, i will head straight back to sinagpore....... so we will know tomorrow when the results come out...... haha.....
Although its a bad day to me, i met something that is the cutest ever! haha... its the squirrel! OH MY GOD!! it is the cutest animal i've ever seen! haha.....it really lights my whole day......
For USA, the transportation is really inconvenient.... because the bus ends at 8.30 and i still have to walk 15 minutes to take a bus to get groceries......and the weather is very cold....... its 9 to 10 degree celsius here..... so by the time i get to the bus-stop, my face, hands and feet would all be numb......
Another disadvantage is that the things here are very expensive.......... a normal bowl of noodles is 5 bucks US dollars.......and everything except electronic devices is expensive........ haiz....and one thing! the taxi fare! it jumps 2 US dollars every minute...... so for only a 5 minute ride, you will have to pay 1o US dollars! i was so shocked..... haha.......
But a good thing here is...... the people are sooooo nice! For the four days that i've been staying here, i have encountered many incidents where people are soo nice....For example, i was riding the bus and i was asking the bus driver on how much we have to pay... so when the bus driver told me, i was still a little bit blur so the guy behind me thought i didn't have change to give to the bus driver and put in 50 cents for me...... actually i've got lots of coins.....haha... and that's not all...during the bus ride, my mother's plastic bag dropped from the seat to the ground and he quickly helps my mother to pick it up.........he is really nice right? haha....
Another example, we were waiting for the green man signal to cross the road and we had a printed map to find the place that sells computer( that's where i bought this laptop), so i wanted to check and see if we were on track so i took out the paper and the wind was so strong that it blew the two pieces of paper right to the opposite side of the road! the man quickly catches one of the paper but the other was still flying so he even went chasing after the piece of paper! we were soo thankful.. haha....
So that's how USA is like........ the city is full of Takashimayas....... so you can imagine how expensive the things are here......next time when i've cleaned up my room then you all see my room..... haha.... i will go take somemore pictures of the city and school if i'm still staying here....haha......... so that's all folks!

And she nags the whole day! i think i will really lose my freedom when she goes there with me... since she isn't working and will be staying at home for the whole day! T_T...................

Now that all my friends know that i may be going to USA.. then i shall just say everything out....

Whether i'm going there is still a question but the percentage of me going is 60%...... If my mother's visa is approved, then we are going... if hers is not, then i will stay in singapore to finish my poly three years then i will go to USA when i'm 19 years old....

But my mother has rented out our house to a Canadian couple.... so if we are not going then we have to rent another house... T_T.......

The most shocking thing is that now then i realise i have so many friends around me that will miss me if i go.....i am so touched...... haha.......

If i am really going there then we must stay in contact! I will come back to Singapore to visit you all! :)
