One Day More

To the tune of Les Miserables' One Day More (please google it on youtube to fully appreciate this blog)

Mark:
One day more, another day another destiny,
This never ending road to victory,
These friends who love to sing and rhyme,
Would surely win a second time,
One day more...

Benjamin:
I did not believe until today,
How can I live when we are parted...

Benjamin and his voice:
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away!!!
And yet with you, my song has started.

Lee Yi Fang:
One more day he's on his own.

Benjamin and his voice:
Will we ever meet again?

Lee Yi Fang:
One more day with me not caring.

Benjamin and his voice:
I was born to be with you!

Lee Yi Fang:
What a life I might have known.

Benjamin and his voice:
And I swear I will be true.

Lee Yi Fang:
But those boys cant leave me there...

Samuel Tiong:
One more day till we perform.

Benjamin:
Do I follow where she goes?

Samuel Tiong:
At the stages to our stardom.

Benjamin:
Shall I join my brothers there?

Samuel Tiong:
When our ranks begin to form.

Benjamin:
Do I stay and do I dare?

Samuel Tiong:
Will you take your place with me.

All:
The time is now, The day is HERE!!!

Mark:

One day more!

Joshua Ong:
One more day to competition we will nip it in the bud
I will join these little schoolboys, they will win their foes like fart (LOL)

Grace + Derrick:
Watch them run their queen, catch it with a pin,
Never know your luck when you can win the KING,
Here a little fork, there a little luck,
Most of them are goners so they won't miss much.

All:
One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of stardom high
Every man will be a king
Every man will be a king
There's a new world for the winning
There's a new world to be won
Do you hear the people sing?

Benjamin:
My place is here, I sing with you...

Mark:
One day more!

Benjamin and his voice:
I did not believe until today

Lee Yi Fang:
One more day all on his own.

Benjamin and his voice:
How can I live when we are parted?

Mark:
One day more!

Benjamin and his voice:
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away.

Lee Yi Fang:
What a life I might have known.

Benjamin and his voice:
And yet with you my world has started.

Joshua Ong: (Overlapping)
I will join these people's heroes I will follow where they go
I will learn their vict'ry secrets I will know the things they know.
One more day to competition we will nip it in the bud,
I will join these little schoolboys.

Grace + Derrick: (Overlapping)
Watch them run their queen, catch it with a pin,
Never know your luck when you can win the KING,
Here a little fork, there a little luck...

Mark:

Tomorrow we'll be on our way, tomorrow is the judgment day

All:
Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in heaven has in store.
One more dawn,
One more day,

ONE

DAY

MORE!

SUMO

I read an interesting article from SUMO written by Paul McGee today...

Sometimes in life we just have to Shut Up and Move On! (SUMO). Here's the humorous excerpt (no, not your bone!)

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends...
I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time and what do you get at the end of it? Death.
I mean, what's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you move to an old people's home. you get kicked out whe you're too young, you get a gold watch and then you go to work. You work fro forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You have fun, party plenty, then you get ready for senior school. Then you go to junior school, you become a kid, you play and you have no responsibilities. You become a little baby, you go back into the womb, spend your last nine months floating... and you finish off as an orgasm

lol -.- Some food for thought for ya

Humility

H umility is something I am lacking
U nless I learn this thing
M y future's but nothing
I know it's no use just realizing
L ess only just sit and talking
I 'll only learn by changing
T o stop self-praising
Y es, no more self-gratifying

University applications

I told myself I will NOT be tempted to switch on the computer, but somehow the bedbugs were on strike and decided they wanted to have something else besides bedsheets to chew on. A sleepless night soon passed by and I was fidgeting every few minutes.

Probably I did get some winks but it was soon 4 o'clock in the morning and that was when the restlessness really kicked in. Where was my blanket? *toss* Where is the pillow? *scratch* Oh my aircon is switched off! A bit stuffy, better switch it on again! *fiddles for the remote* Oops, gotta go to the loo! *walks to the toilet and goes back to bed* It's so itchy! *scratch again*

Amazingly, it was suddenly 5 a.m. I told myself I will NOT BE TEMPTED TO SWITCH ON THE COMPUTER!!! Unfortunately, mere mortals can't possibly resist their inquisitive character. So it was on with the system unit and soon I was browsing Mozilla Firefox...

For Porn... yea right -.-

FOR ADMISSIONS DECISIONS! Will Cornell decide I was suitable? Being a Brunonian is equally exciting...

And then it came: Harvard: REJECTED!

Oh well, I expected that as I did not even get an interview. (still my cheerful self)

The second blow came harder than expected:
Cornell: REJECTED!

But why??? I thought I did well for the essay? Cornell was, in my opinion one of the more reachable Ivies, but I guess that's apparently not.

In the midst of my frustration I suddenly forgot my Brown and Princeton password. Totally disconcerted from the two application results, I went to school with a glum face. Reminding myself everything is in God's hands, I tried my best to break the news to my teachers who helped me with the apps: all their efforts were for naught.

But better news was in store. Using my colleague's computer, I finally managed to access CMU's admissions page. At first I didn't notice anything different than the other times (which mounted to a hundred) when I went to the "Where am I in the process?" page. Then two "accepted" words suddenly caught my attention - I WAS ADMITTED INTO CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND MELLON COLLEGE OF SCIENCE!

Just then another email came in from Stanford University. Filled with euphoria over my FIRST EVERY ADMISSION FROM US, I decided that some can be spent on rejection letters =)

To my surprise I was waitlisted for the university I spent the least time on my university apps (does it imply something?) [I thought the prospect was bleak so I just applied for fun]

Those news were probably enough for me to survive my last two rejections: Princeton and Brown. Looking back, I only got admitted into CMU out of my 7 universities I applied. Am I disappointed? Of course! But I am also thankful for the admission AND the waitlist.

Ironically, I prayed to God during my applications. I told him that whichever you give me means you want me there, pursuing that degree. God does a great job relieving my burden to choose =D So I guess CMU it is! Look out, here comes Tartan Mark Wong!
