Turns out i didn't go for my dinner appointment after all, since i wasn't prepared to travel all the way down to kallang at 7:30pm (despite the temptation of long beach). it's tentatively pushed to wednesday, so i'll have to wait before i can find out what happened in india.
to continue on some of my unfinished threads of thought from earlier today, i received my university information package in the mail. basically, it's exactly what it says it is...information, and quite detailed stuff at that. i've done the online part, so what's left is for me to get my parents to read through and sign the form, and (horror of horrors) take a photo for my student card. now, if the above sentence didn't give it away already, i *HATE* taking photos of myself. will have to make it as painless as possible i suppose. oh...nearly forgot. at this point of time, i chose to start school in august, which is the regular term. chances of me enrolling in the special terms are quite low, but who knows? something may change my mind between now and 15 december, which is the final submission deadline.
since CoH servers went down for maintenance, i'm taking advantage of the free time to re-read my fanfiction and get a feeling for it, so i can pick up where i left off. after skimming through a few chapters, i'm quite tempted to delete the whole thing off the face of the planet. every three lines or so, i'm actually wondering 'did i really write that!?'. horrible. worst thing is, i left a plot element (a letter) unresolved when i left off, and now i can't remember what that letter's supposed to say! one thing's for sure though; it's nothing good. will probably have to try and remember my thought patterns/processes from 4 years ago and see what i can come up with.

*saved as a draft, and continued on thursday, 04 december at 9:53pm*
in another 10 hours or so, i'll step into camp for the very last time. 3+ hours after that, i'll reclaim something which i haven't seen for close to 2 years: my pink IC. after all the counting of months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds, agonizing over how slowly time passed, and generally not being the happoest person on earth, i'm finally so close to freedom! i wonder if i'll have any trouble sleeping tonight.
earlier on in march last year, i mentioned that if my POP present (a computer chair) cost $195, the price of my ORD present to myself would number in the thousands range. that prediction has sadly come to pass, seeing as i bought myself a new computer (!!). i've budgeted $1200 (or $1500, i forgot which) for it, and so far, i think i'm keeping within limits. i'll know for sure once i examine all the receipts. i just paid the bulk of it today, which is $950 for the CPU, and additional costs for other accessories. to date, that is my biggest NETS transaction to date, amounting to $1000 on the dot. felt a stab in my heart when i pressed 'OK'. but comforting thing is, this is all out of my own pocket, so score one for increased financial freedom.
at this point, my mind is clouded by the fact that tomorrow's my ORD, and also by the magnitude of my spending. i don't think i'll get another coherent thought in until the first is over, and the second has sunk in. so, i'll end off here, and continue when both have come to pass.

-random thought of the day: I need to spend all my emart credits tomorrow!-
