Thoughts of a Rodent

Before I actually realized this, there's only about 5 weeks left to my long anticipated exchange. It can be said that my decision to study in NUS was almost entirely the Language Preparation Programme offered here. So my exchange was actually planned since the moment I matriculated and signed up to learn the German language. The long wait has finally come to near realization now. Hooray! Really miss my host families in Ebringen now and can't wait to see them again!

Yup, in case anyone wonders why I announced the banning of several words in MSN conversation, things hasnt been going well last week, so I apologize for not being in a good mood and if I offended you last week. But it took a turn to a slightly better one towards the end of the week. In case if you want to know, the following are the detailed narration of what happened. If you are not interested, thank you and have a nice day. You may now navigate to other blogs.

1. Visa Application - This task is of utmost importance as to my reason for staying in Singapore instead of staying at home while waiting to fly off. Had to do the most important procedure of all -visa application- before anything else can come true.

Yep, so I heard the visa takes up to 8 weeks to process, and counting the time left, I was actually late already. So I decided to go apply on Monday 8 Jan nonetheless despite having been waiting for the so-called admission letter from the partner university, which the former was said to be "on the way" since 15 Dec but I still have not seen a single atom of the shadow until this very moment. Yup so anyone also can guess the outcome. I had to go back on Tuesday 9 Jan. Luckily it went through on that day and I will have to wait for 23 working days at least. And all I can wait for is a telephone call from them.

2. Job application - Thought of doing something that can earn myself some pocket money to spend in Europe while waiting for the visa to be approved. So, I actually planned for this since end of October 2006 and submitted application through MOE to register as a relief teacher since mid November 2006. What I did not know was that I should have just renewed my application, but I submitted a brand new application instead. So, until now
"You application for registration as a relief teacher is still under consideration."

So right now while procrastinating, I am also looking for professors around for a possible supervisor for my HYP. Hope things will go on smoothly bah. Sigh, need to mug the journals about their projects.
