ahhhhhhhh... DSA is done! FINALLY! At least got something off my hand. That's really a great feeling! And I de-stressed and celebrated this feat by baking chocolate rice cup cakes after I got home. =)
During this DSA-ing period, I would really want to thank many people for making it possible for me to hand it in to the General Office this afternoon.
Mummy! :Thank you mummy!!! Thanks for personally getting down to make an A4-sized envelope for me using drawing block paper, to contain all my documents. It's so neat and nice, that even my friends couldn't believe that it was actually "made". =) That gave my application form a personal touch. And, thanks for staying up yesterday night just to vet my personal statement, trying to make it as perfect as ever. Also, worrying over all the documents I have to photocopy, making sure that I get all the originals back. I guess I couldn't have made it without all your efforts!!!
Da Jie: You too helped to vet my personal statement before you left for the NTU Pre-U seminar on Monday, just to make sure that I'm on the right track. Even though you had work on hand to be cleared, you still took time off to vet it for me. Thanks a lot!
Yan: For hearing all my complains and rants about the inefficiency of that organisation. Sorry if your ears are tired from my voice. =)
Daddy: You have the same sentiments as me about the organisation and even called to give them a lecture. But you thought it over and decided to contain your anger for fear that I couldn't get the testimonial I want from them. Thanks for being so supportive!
Songhua: You were there for me when I had to hand in my DSA envelope and was lost about what to do and what to write. Thanks for your marker and stapler! =) Those were great working tools for me today to complete the incompleted. It was really a miracle to meet you and Weekiat in the library. I was only testing my luck there. And yup, thanks for checking through my application form and making sure that everything was filled up correctly and nothing was missing. Those encouraging words of "Good", "Correct" brought me back to track! Thanks for your help!
Weekiat: Ahhhh.. those printed documents that I begged you to print! =) Sorry for having you to stay up to past 12am for that. I'm really grateful for your generosity and patience with me! And, I'm so sorry to learn that you banged your cheek against the stairway this afternoon. Is it better now? The bruise then was quite bad.
Ivy: Opps... sorry to let you wait for me for so long. =S Thanks for keeping me company out there while I was sorting out and compiling those documents. A million thanks!
Miss Roshidah (Jurong Primary School): A great teacher! Thank you for digging up my past records and writing such a comprehensive and lengthy testimonial for me although I've already left the school for 4 years. Really very touched by your effort. It's just a miracle for me to meet you. Thank you so much!
In all, my application for DSA wasn't a solo effort. I had so many people standing by me, bringing me through it. It was a rush period, but definitely a period of significance in my life. Thank you all. =)
