admin woes

yeah this is an update on my life.

almost a week ago, a huge brown envelop found its way into my letter box. it was from my future college, NUS. the main contents were telling you the important admin-related stuff to take note. from hostel application to camps to open days, to information of facilities to payment of fees. there are countless day/dates and websites to take note of. spent half a day reading through them all and highlighting the websites that i need to re-visit someday.

well, i'm pretty please with the way NUS compiled such information into clearly-labelled categories and even at the end of the Freshmen Guide, they have tables to make all important information look simpler. on top of that, i'm really thankful to those friends i have bothered trying to clarify things but just for the record, i am really really grateful for you patience and help. i really do.

so anyway, today was the start of the first of many admin woes. hall application. i hope i can get it done by tomorrow and then hope i get the hall i want with my friend as my roommate. after that, it would be one worry off my chest. many more ahead in the next three months prior to freshman year.

Brazil

it is the second week of May right now.. which means in about a month's time for a rough 30 days, eyes from all corners of the globe will be on one country. all will be on Brazil as they host the FIFA World Cup 2014. starting from 12th June and to the final on 13th July. football fans or not, many will be watching this great event that takes place once every four years.

obviously, i am really really excited for it and i'm sure this isn't the first post that i used talking about the event. nonetheless, i will still be supporting Spain no matter what. been their supporter since i started loving football.. even before Spain won the Euro against Germany in 2008 and the World Cup in 2010. so anyway, here is the official song for this year's event. enjoy.

shatter me

somehow piano and guitar skills are more commonly watched on YouTube. well, there are some instruments that few people actually watch and i guess one of them will be violin. if that is you, this would be a good introduction.

this violinist was from a competition years ago.. if i'm not wrong was "America Got Talent". thereafter she continued doing what she loves on YouTube. i was glad to come across her on YouTube through one of other YouTube artistes months ago.

anyway, she is Lindsey Stirling. you probably heard of the name before because she is getting more and more famous, collaborating with couple of famous singers. about a week ago, her new album was released and it is definitely better than the previous one. 

that is the album cover and the next one is the piece that i find the best in this album.
