something happened, not saying what.i never thought i would, always thought of how'd i'd get outta the situation. how i'd decline. but this time it wasn't, it caught me off guard. it didn't turn out to be how i thought it would be. i just fell for it. Sorry, that's all i can say.

Dear Clement,
We have reviewed your case and we will offer you “Diploma in Outdoor & Adventure Learning”.
You may also wish to note that candidate who wishes to participate in JAE & JPSAE ought to withdraw from the DPA Exercise 2008. Withdrawal form has to submit by hand at the polytechnic that made the offer by 5.00pm on 3 Oct 2008. A copy of the withdrawal form is available online at http://www.polytechnic.edu.sg/dpa/Doc/DPA%20Withdrawal%20Form.pdf.
Candidate who has accepted a DPA Offer but does not withdraw by the deadline is deemed to have confirmed his or her acceptance and will not be eligible to participate in centralised posting exercises (i.e. JAE & JPSAE).
Should you have further queries, please email us.

Subject: Problem due to miscommunication
Dear Mr Kahlid,
As agreed earlier on, this is an e-mail sent to you to inform you of my current plight.
I first read about the Direct Polytechnic Admissions exercise(DPA) from an article in "The New Paper" After which i applied through the DAE portal, and although i am currently in my first year in ITE, i am retaking math and science, which were the 2 subjects that prevented me from going into the outdoor and adventure course in the first place. When i got a call saying that i got an interview, the man who called me said he would sent me an e-mail, with information on the place of the interview, by that day. But i never received it and called him up, i got the e-mail the following day. During the final moments of my interview, i asked how i would know about the status of my interview, and was told that MOE would contact me most probably by e-mail, to ask me to accept the offer. I never got that e-mail, and the first e-mail i got regarding this matter stated that the deadline to accept the offer was over, and my DPA is now invalid. Throwned into panic and confusion, I called that day and told you about the situation, and you told me once again that MOE was supposed to contact us to tell us to accept the offer, you than asked me to call up MOE, ask about what happened and to get back to you by the end of the week. I than called MOE, who told me that the respective polytechnics were the ones supposed to contact us telling us to accept the offer. I later called you and asked if anything could be done in my situation and you told me to send this e-mail. I really hope this helps because getting into this course really means alot to me. should you require any other information regarding this matter, feel free to call my mobile number at 91729196 or just reply me via e-mail, you have my greatest thanks for looking into this matter.
Sincerely,
Clement Tan

i'm elated. nothing less. That aside, i went out with rong king and his bunch of crazy poly friends yesterday night, it was sorta like a belated birthday dinner for him. spent a heck of a time really, getting to know his friends, joking around and in the end just hanging out at some coffeeshop tables(the shops were closed already). than saw some ah bengs fighting, but seriously, they suck at that, looking at them fight actually gives you a boost of confidence to face the ah bengs of this world. lol, ok i wun do anything stupid but seriously, there was so much shouting and less than a minute of action, and judging from the way they could still stand up and continue to shout at each other i bet they're hits didn't even hurt. you should have seen them, there was this guy who was giving a badly executed flying kick to another guy who was already moving away from him, with another target in mind, so basically he hit nothing but the thin air. Smart.haha, anyway, heard rong king's mum put his cats in pungol park, that's so sad, to watch your cats grow up from kittens and than just abandon them. He's a little emo now, lol not that bad lah, but just sad over the fact. My dad got angry with me cause i forgot to call back telling them where i went, which he has all the right to, after giving me 15 mised calls. But you can't blame me! i was using my sis's phone as mine ran outta bat, and her phone in silent mode DOES NOT EVEN VIBRATE! ah well, anyway though i do admit i derserved a scolding for forgetting to call, i didn't deserve THAT amount of scolding. ah well, i'm just happy about my DPA right now, guess i'll just end here :)

Hey guys, guess what? i just found out yesterday after blogging that i have past my Direct poly Admissions excercise offer and my DPA is now invalid. dun look at me with a face that says wth how can you be so ignorant?! Here's what happened -> 1) read about DPA through newspaper 2) applied for DPA 3) Application sucessful! 4)interview, asked interviewer how i would know if my interview was a success, he said MOE will contact me and ask me to accept the offer. 5) nothing happened, no e-mails, no calls 6) got e-mail stating my dpa is now invalid. SG education 2, clement 0. 7)contacted head of RP's Outdoor and adventure(the guy who interviewed me) at least he's being really nice, asking me not to panic and to contact MOE about this matter, because by right they were supposed to contact me. 8) went to the dpa website, clicked on the helpline, typed the e-mail regarding the situation and walla! there was an error with thier server or something. tried another 3 times. Went page hopping and got MOE's contact no. Called them up, "they are having lunch right now can you call back at 2:30?" fine. Called at 2:30 "oh i really don't know who is in charge of dpa, you have to find it yourself" TAICHI!!!!! current score: SG education 3 Clement 0 i am pissed offed, seriously. sigh but than again my sis told me this which she learned from candy-When God want us to go for something, he won't just chuck it into our hands all the time, sometimes he make us fight for it so that we don't take things for granted. that's my hope. Friends in ITE were being an encouragement, they were talking about whos gonna do what in our project group and mansur was like ok clement your job is just to study hard for your o levels and get the hell outta here. I'm not gonna let my friends down, not gonna let my family down, not gonna let myself down, not gonna let God down. it's mine, mine to grab, i just have to reach out for it...

Yes the title says it all o levels are coming in 1 motnh plus, and i just need to up my math and science by 1 grade each. I CAN DO IT! gonna psycho myself everyday every morning to study study study, as alot of my friends say, i was born intelligent, but education ruined me. hahaha. just got back from macs studying physics, taking a short break while my sis takes a nap before going back, and yea you can guess i skipped school today. But really, who cares? other than miss wen who makes a fuss outta the littlest things. i mean, in most of the lessons people are like playing psp, nintendo, using laptops to watch movies/play/whatever other stuff.Or sleep. yea. and after missing out so many classes due to NCC and wanting to study like today, i can still pass with a relatively high score! Question: what does that tell you? answer:it means you can actually skip all the classes, take a glance at the notes and pass with flying colours, except that if your attendance is unacceptable, you cannot take the exam, in other words, even if you had the knowledge and skills to be the best front desk receptionist the world has ever seen, because you did not attend enough lessons, you fail as a receptionist. score 1 for singapore education.
well, yea. so i deceided, it's just 1 grade up for each subject, so many others can score for it, there NO reason i can't do this. i just have to put my best in, stop playing games, neglect ite and walla! 1 grade isn't hard to acheive according to logic. i'll just leave it all to God. For i know, Lord, that if i put in my best efforts, you'll bless me. Thanks Lord, for always being there.
this is a song that encourages me to study my butt off, it's not exactly the holy holy kinda song in fact it's pretty vulgar in some parts. But in actual fact, i pity the rapper, he really needs jesus, if only someone could lead him to God...
"Lose Yourself"
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Hook]
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got
[Hook]
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
ALRIGHT! GOING OFF TO STUDY AGAIN!!!! i must motivate myself like i do it when i work out, lol.
