NUS, NTU, SNEC

Went to NTU open house on saturday and NUS open house on sunday. They were quite fine and one thing that i couldn't help noticing is that they gave away so much free stuff! And due to the paper quality of the prospectus and flyers, they should be quite expensive. I estimated that i got about $40 worth of stuff from both unis! Now i know where my money goes to if i get into an uni. I also got to get a much clearer picture of what uni will be like. NTU has a lot of accomodation facilities while NUS is short of them (as i heard from a few of the students there). Well, it's surprising that they let us stay in Prince George's Park residences during the Pre-U Seminar. I heard it's for the USP people, but not too sure. Should be expensive, though. Also, i heard that nus is a little short of students to participate in their overseas programmes, i heard from a few of the students there that it get really competitive once you are in. Well, i guess i've to get in and see for myself.
Also, i've sent in my application form for Australian National University. Should be getting a reply in 3 weeks' time.
Today, i went to National eye care centre to get my colour vision deficiency cert updated, i was still having the 2001 version. So i had to do some test alogside with it. My short sightedness seems to be stbilising. My left eye's power is 50 deg below my left spec lens, so it's now overpowered. and my right eye has gone worse by 50 deg. Since the last time i got myself a new pair of glasses was in september 06, i expected my eyes to be worse by about 100+ deg. Glad that it came out fine :)
I had to get the back of my eyes checked. They dropped some eye drops to dilate my pupils, sothat the doctor can look at the back of my eye. My left eye responded very well to the drops and only needed 3 drops. But my right eye was more stubborn and needed 6 drops (that's the max that they can give to a patient. I was getting quite worried cos my right eye became painful just after each drop while my left eye felt pretty normal). Because of those drop, Overall, i had to wait for about 2hrs. The report came out to be fine, my eyes are perfectly normal, apart from the red-green colour vision deficiency and the shortsightedness. (Nope, they didn't mention the stubbornness of my right eye) And there was also this test where a machine blew a puff of air onto my eyes to check the pressure. I had to do it several times as my eyes kept blinking.
Lastly, i've been reading my math olympiad notes till late in the night. I only slept at about 3 am yesterday night and ended up waking up at 10 in the morning. My sleeping pattern is all screwed up now. But it's so fun!
