i do sympathise with her but that's the way it goes down south. it has always been cooker-pressure type of environment in school as the neighbour continues to strive to be the best there is. so, i've always reassured her that once she's finished this year, i'll let her choose the varsity where she intends to pursue higher studies.
her inclination so far has been either to australia or UK. so, it came as a surprise to me when i received this sms:
she wants to go thru all that perceived torture for undergrad studies? for a further FOUR years, at least?
this is my reply:
ah, puppy love & crushes & all things nice.....
(sigh!)
the girl has much to learn.....!
note:
* a = grade A
* pw = project work, a requirement for entry into varsity.

let her go where she wants to go. Even if it is MU (U of Malaysia). haha. But why not NUS, It has just been ranked quite high in then recent university rankings amongst the universities in the Asia pacific, behind only U of Tokyo and U of Melbourne. I know it's pressurising but then diamonds are also made under stress!!
So you are sure that a male factor is in the equation? Hmmm.. What if she has already entered the comfort zone in Spore and find the idea of uprooting and starting over thousands of miles away from home daunting? Jeng! Jeng! Jeng!
SAHM,
if NUS is her choice, of course i'll be more than glad. it means she is in a top-notch varsity & is close to home.
it's the stress that i'm concerned about.
Andrea,
comforts zones in S'pore?? few & far in between, I think, & my daughter is not one for working too hard.
she WILL uproot unless a local guy is throwing a spanner in the works.
we'll see.
I соuldn't resist commenting. Well written!
