I know i have not been seriously posting for quite a while now. I think my last serious post was like 7Jan when i went for poly open houses. SO i guess I'm going to try to update my blog before i go into seclusion after orientation ends.
Anyways, SO much things had happen over the past few days. I was literally caught in between 2 schools. I'm going to be very transparent about this and i meant no offence/harsh feeling/insults to anyone or anything.
Ok, i have been posted to IJC which is expected since i put it as a second choice and my first choice being NYJC. So since i did not get posted to NYJC, naturally the school i'm posted to is IJC. However, i went for audition/appeal through dance for NYJC(before posting results is released) and i got accepted! So i went over to NYJC to collect my "transfer" form to be signed by IJ principal. That's when problems started to arise.
I went over to IJ yesterday, thinking that i could just hand the form over to the principal, get it signed and then make my way to NY. However i was seriously wrong about it. First, i went up to the counter in the General Office to settle my appeal case. However i was rudely shocked when the HOD of science told me i have to wait for 3 hours since i am appealing out of IJ. At first i shook it off as a joke. But thinking back, i still feel that, that is a really mean thing to say. Luckily, i do not have to wait for 3 hours and i went into the P office soon after my brief exchange with the HOD of science. There came a second shock of the day. She would insist that i am not being accepted by NY. I was so confused. I just got the form signed by the VP of NY( i do not know at that point in time) and now she is telling me that i have not accepted. I was started to get pissed. However, i know very well not the get angry or too agitated at the her(being the P and my senior). Furthermore i was still confused over what had just happen. She then welcome me to IJ ,though very warmly, i hated the sound if it. I then join the orientation half heatedly because i was still pondering over what she had just told me.
Jonathan momentarily broke my train of thoughts when he said "HI"to me. I returned his greeting half heatedly. Sorry): My train of thought were once again broken when the assembly started. Then J1(us) move up to the hall for subject combination talks( BORING!!) i wasn't really listening to all the talk as i was still deep in thinking over all the things she said. As time flies i was getting more worried and wanted to call up NY really badly to clarify things.
Finally when the talks ended, i called up NY immediately to sort things out. Then, i was told that i indeed had been accepted by NY and there should be no problem. She assured me that she would check with the principal and get back to me asap. However, the principal was not at his desk so i have to play the frustrating waiting game. But i was told to bring this matter up to the P after 2pm.
So at around 2pm, i called up NY for advice (and further confirm that i have been accepted by NY)and i went ahead with the "confrontation" with the P(innova) again. However, she still claims that she is not aware of my acceptance by NY as she said she just had a meeting with the P of NY the day before and he(NY-P) did not mention anything about my acceptance. At that point in time, the atmosphere had gotten really tense and i was really close to shouting but i bit back my tongue.( I've got excellent self control) so i further reason things out with her. But no matter how much i explain( all the i-am-very-sure-that-i-have-been-accepted-into-NY-thing) she just would not budge. And as my form was signed by the VP, she insist that she will only consider if it was signed by the P himself.
However, she did not reply me when i asked her would i be released so long as my form is signed by the P. So i told her that i would go over to NY and clarify thing and also at the same time, get him to sign on my paper. So i made my way over to NY. Over at NY i met up with the P face-to-face and double check, triple check that i indeed had been accepted by NY. He even sent and email to IJ P in an attempt to clear any misunderstanding there might be. So with that, i went home(Thanks feli for waiting so patiently!!)
Couldn't really sleep that night even though i am both mentally and physically tired.
Woke up feeling terribly cold and feverish(I got flu leh!) Made my way to IJ hoping that it would be the last time i set my foot into that school(at least for my appeal case). Went into the P office soon after we step foot in the General Office. The procedure was surprisingly a breeze as she agreed to sign my form with very few question asked[(must be the email NY-P sent)(I had to remind her to check her email=.=)] So i made my way to NY with the very important reply slips in my bag. The moment i stepped into the GO at NY i was so delighted by the greeting i received. Contrary to the one i heard the day before. Though i was not allowed to join my future school mates at sentosa but i am glad that i gave that a miss as i was really worn out after all those things.
So i would like to thank the Principal and Vice-Principal of NY for understanding my case and doing their best to solve it.
I also want to thank the teacher who helped my ALOT for my appeal.
Last but not the least, i would like to thank the Principal of IJ for letting me go.
P.S To those out there who feel ousted since you did not get into NY even though you met the cutoff points or at least have a better results then me but still did not manage to get in and those who feel that i should not be given this chance. I would just like to say that i worked really hard to get a place in NY. I practised really hard to nailed the audition. I needed to be brave too to turn up for audition. The whole process was really nerve breaking and i really wanted to give up halfway. But thanks to feli who continually encourage me to go for it( i bet she is only eyeing for free transport that comes with the "purchase"of me) Also need to thanks MH for accompanying me through out the "confrontation" though she have to. LOLS. So dealed with it. I deserved what i got and i am very proud to say that I AM A NANYANG JC STUDENT(because i work my butt off for it)
P.S.S This is like one of my longest post(;
