shrinking photos

Okay.., I've not been blogging for a long while now, some updates:
I'm now able to appreciate the weather in Singapore a lot more.

I'm done with the NTU entrance application. Somehow, i finished writing the essay (it took me very long since i wasn't very much used to writing about narratives) and filling in my non-academic particulars (i had a lot of difficulty squeezing them all into 200 words. They have quite a good counting system that's different from the one that Microsoft word uses. for eg. "council05 to o6" is considered as 3 words while "council(05 to 06)" and "council (05 to 06)" are counted as 4 words; very smart...)
AND i also managed to get an appraiser to write about myself :)
I was offered some scholarship stuff at the end and was brought to another site at where there was another looong form. I nearly fainted when i saw it; I'm going to start working on it tomorrow morning. The scholarship form needs another appraiser. But the essay there is of the same topic, weird... i also had a lot of trouble getting my passport sized photo to their stringent specifications. My best is this: Below is the original



and below is the edited one:

Went down to nyjc this Monday, hoping to get my testimonial, but it wasn't ready yet. So, i ended up helping some J1s prepare for their math block test. It was fun. I enjoy teaching and in the process, i enjoy making things complicated. ;)
I'm going to start calling them up tomorrow for my testimonial.

I also need to do the essay for the university scholar's programme, and send in my supporting doccuments to NUS and NUS, and prepare things for my appraiser.
