What Difference?

I didn't get the Pre-U.
Quite glad.

:)

It turned out that the accepted applicants pretty much lied throughout their interview about their ambitions and views of life - they told me so themselves.

Me?

I refused to portray myself as someone with "scholar" material. I don't feel the need to constantly lead the way, run for president for every single club I'm involved in and boast about any moral value I possess. In fact, I can't wait to have a simple life - a job I enjoy, tiny HDB unit, adorable puppy and public transport every day. I don't aim for a materialistic lifestyle at all.

That's just not me.

Besides, I don't feel comfortable amongst the scholars at all, especially when there's this we're-better-than-the-others aura.

A tiny tinge of disappointment indeed, because I thought I was being truthful during the scholarship interview and the people at the Ministry did comment that they enjoyed talking to me. It turned out that of course, they just wanted someone who aims for the sky and will attempt all means to achieve it.

I love my comfort zone too much.

And this entry has no ulterior motive whatsoever.

Congrats to the friends who have received the scholarship.
Boo to the fact that getting a scholarship involves having the mindset that one is superior over the others.
