okie............ so after years and years (well....... actually......... it's just months and months......... but let me exacerbate a lil here yah? ***gringrin***) of procrastinating, i've finally gotten down to writing my personal for my uni application, and i must say......... i don't know if i'm rambling or just plain don't-know-wat-to-say-hence-putting-in-everything............ but i hope it isn't too disgusting and turns the admin at the uk unis off.......... eheh........ ***takes a deep breath***
well........... here goes nothing :

I am studying arts 'A' levels in Victoria Junior College as I have a passion for the performing arts, especially in theatre, which I intend to study in the UK. In secondary school, I was a member of the English Drama Society and represented the school in the Singapore Youth Festival and attained a Gold Medal for Drama. This initial interest has led me to study Theatre Studies and Drama in Victoria Junior College, which is the only school in Singapore that offers it. Even with the busy schedule of junior college, I regularly volunteer to help local theatre companies with their productions in crewing and front-of-house activities. This exposure has opened my eyes to the wide field of theatre and I am able to appreciate the effort put in by all the areas of work involved in a production. My love for theatre has seen me going for many musicals and plays, and I take the initiative to pose the cast and crew of the musicals 'Rent' and 'Miss Saigon' questions with regards to their work, furthering my knowledge of practical theatre which is beyond the books. During my seven month break before I enter university, I intend to intern for a local theatre company so as to broaden my knowledge of theatre and to experience the work and effort that goes on behind-the-scenes. I want to study theatre because I have a burning desire for it, and I want to direct this desire towards my studies, as I strongly believe that mixing interest with studies will fuel my passion for studying.
I am an outspoken and vibrant person, representing the Arts faculty as the Faculty Captain in my college, organising activities such as Sports Day and Teachers' Day celebrations. My leadership qualities saw me becoming an Orientation Group Leader for the new students of the college, and being a pillar for the structure of the orientation. At the college openhouse and MusicFest held by the college that was open to public, I was the emcee on both occasions, being responsible for keeping the crowd aware of the goings-on and keeping them entertained.
My interest in sports is reflected in my being a member of the college hockey team, representing the college at national level. I work out regularly and came in 56th out of 830 girls in the college cross-country competition and attained a Gold Award for the National Association of Physical Fitness Awards. This love of the outdoors further led me to sign up for Outward Bound (Singapore), where I spent a grueling 5 days on the wilderness of an offshore island, developing my leadership qualities and survival skills.
During the school vacations I helped out at the Spastic Children's Association of Singapore, giving them a hand with the work assigned to them and making lunch for them. I also visit the horse ranches and clean up the place to ensure a hygenic environment for the horses and their riders.
I am applying to the UK because I want to experience learning from a different angle, with people from diverse cultures and varying mindsets. I believe this will give me a chance to fend for myself in a foreign environment and it is seen as a challenge I can take on and develop my leadership qualities as well as myself as a person in this vast expanse of diversity and culture. I want to apply for theatre as it has made me question many things in life and not just accept things for what they are. Especially in a different environment, I believe that I will be able to fully develop my thoughts and ideas, and be a thinking and creative individual.

hmm............. it wasn't that bad was it? well.......... i hope not............. just a few white lies here and there.......... AhHAHa!! ooppsss........ just blew my own cover.........dang!! well......... i'm really glad i got this humongous load off my chest................ it's been nagging at me for ages........ phew........ as i was just telling gladrag..... isn't it kinda ironic that i spend my time filling in the application to the unis of my choice at the opportunity cost of studying and in the end they accept me but i can't get in cuz my grades suck.......... ahah................. what a joke isn't it? it's really funny how life sometimes turns out, how it about turns and gives you a wham! across your unsuspecting face................. as they say......... it's often what you never even thought of that can hurt you the worst............

As flies to wanton boys are we to th'gods;
They kill us for their sport.





I'm exceptionally artistic!

i suppose that accounts for my want of the arts??

beautiful
that's what your words were; beautiful.................. reading them brought a tear (okay........ a few tears) to my eye.......... knowing the faucet that i am......... but your words struck a chord in me............ showing to me how love manifests itself in so many tiny little ways in everyday life that we tend to overlook or take for granted............ thank you for seeing the love that exists in me........ and don't ever discount yourself beautiful........ it may seem as if your path is clouded and full of forks....... but trust in the Lord, that He will show you the light.............. and believe in yourself, that you can do it, for you are blessed with a quick and witty mind(screwed up as it may be.. ***winkwink***) and your self-evaluated humour quotient of 9 1/2 upon 10.......... ***gringrin*** .......... you never fail to brighten my days, like how you've just did....... and i thank the Lord for this...........

'See, I've shown you how loving you can be, so why do you still doubt yourself? Your capacity to love isn't seen in the number of kisses you blow to people, or the number of times you can say I love you without becoming jaded. It's in how you never tire of brightening other peoples' days, and giving and giving and giving...
I could never be like you.'

thank you beautiful..... and i, could never be like you............ who are so cynical and skeptical about the idea of love yet can show me the love that exuberates from me......

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, don't seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on, nothing's fine I'm torn

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I don't care, I have no luck, I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things that I can't touch, I'm torn

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on, nothing's right, I'm torn

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah .... .

Baby i've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor
I used to live alone before i knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when i moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....

Well, maybe there's a god above
But all i've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
