I was extremely excited when I received this text message from Ngee Ann Poly:

“NP> Congrats! You’ve been shortlisted for the written test for your Film, Sound & Video/Mass Communication application. Pls call 6####### for details by 13 Mar.”

The written test, by the way, was today, at 10 in the morning. Hell, I was nervous. But I was not a wreck like last Wednesday for the interview at Temasek Poly. I knew I was nervous not because of the pit in my stomach but my hands literally shook when I took the test paper.

Crap. I don’t like being nervous.

So, you may ask, how was the test?

Well, let’s just say that it felt like a comprehension and a composition paper in one hour. In other words, I don’t think I did well.

Crap.
