hmm, so i finally moved into our own house yesterday...

somehow it feels weird... coz its really our home.

spent the night, n from now, i guess the real thing begins.

kinda cool. ive got a lot of things to do. i gotta call up the refereein association to see if they hav any more vacancies for their refereein course. i might b doin some refereein in april, as a part time job. pay depends on the level of the students. since ive tried lookin around for recreational league for me to play in, n found out there isnt much openin for men above 18 in america, except play permanently, which i cant, coz i'll b leavin naperville by august, i decided either b a coach or referee. so happened tt my bro got a brochure from sch tt was hiring n encouragin ppl to sign up for referees. so tts one.

i might b tutorin a grade 7 boy for maths. got to meet her mom durin a social gatherin set up by mom's friend. she got to know couple of japanese ppl in the community here n she's fittin in so well, i even got dragged, so might b tuturin for money. gd stuff. american grade 7 maths cant b tt tough to teach.

takin the written drivin test hopefully by thursday this wk. when tts done, then i gotta get back to my further maths study n since ive got a comp, resume wit my C++ self teachin.

i saw an ad for used cadillac el dorado for US $5000. tt's SG $8500. can u believe it, a decent car for tt price? i mean i can find somethin more cheaper, like the neighbour's dunno wat brand car. but this el dorado is the perfect one for first timer.

gotta fill up some registration forms for the pc, tv n printer as well as dvd. tts gonna b a bitch.

n yea, takin stuff out from the suitcase n appropriately puttin em to the right places. tts kinda sad, but i'll b packin the same old thing come august, when i leave for college.

n of cuz, i gotta call georgia tech n let em know my transcript will come late. i still dunno when the official cert will b ready to b picked up, any estimation anyone?

k its so windy, the windows r rattling here.

talked to my cousins over the net, the one in mit discourages me to transfer to mit during undergrad coz she think i'll hav no life. she advised me to come as graduate, if i decide to do my MBA. another one tells me georgia tech is such a small sch, its better if i transfer to uni of georgia, where the univerisity is more like the city. sounds appealin enough. campus is huge, n anywhere u go, its like a part of the campus, cheap stuff, coz majority of the shoppers r students n all. not like atlanta, where the sch is in the middle of the city (like how smu will b near orchard) n things might b ex. n gettin a dorm in georgia tech supposedly isnt easy. i hope my cousin stays on in georgia. then i'll hav at least a member of the family 2 hrs drive away for weekend. i think we'll hav a lot of fun if we get to do tt. n its warm!

so i get rejected by purdue, coz they cant analyse my A level coursework, n uni of illinois coz my transcripts reached late n the course capacity was already filled. umich wants me to take TOEFL, n i havent heard from the rest. tts 9 more schs. damn, if i had known bt my financial position n tt i would b movin to naperville n all earlier (i got to know only in january) i would hav only applied to 6 schs! illini, gatech, berkeley, amherst, austin n north carolina state u. damn. i spent like US $575 on applications alone. ah well, things like tt happen.

but from the way my cousins make it sound, im in for a rollin time.

n its pretty much clear now tt caltech n mit is not in the list, n its better for me to actually graduate from georgia tech, i might as well request for my 12 hr credit for my results in the A's. oh, in case i havent mentioned here, wit my B in maths n C in phy, i get to skip 4 hrs of intro calculus 1 lecture n 8 hrs of intro phy 1 n 2 combined. isnt it funny? n the credits u get for maths n phy is the same even if i were to get A on both subjects. so i got the bare minimum grades to skip those lectures. so i get to skip like a lot of lectures, so i can explore atlanta. but i juz found out, all freshmen has to do chem, phy, maths, eng, social science n humans in order to go on to study the major.

bitch....
