NUS Application
how do you answer these application questions? i was asked by my bro about them. to me, they just don't make much sense. especially when you're directing them to singaporeans. who quite frankly don't know much about what they wanna study right after a levels. who don't actually pursue their academic interests. if they have any at all. maybe it's just me and my friends, not singaporeans. anyway.. try answering them.
i) How do you think an extra-curricular or personal activity that you have pursued has had a bearing on the course you have chosen at NUS (1200 characters)
such a tough question. extra-curricular activities would include soccer, hockey, listening to music, playing the guitar, playing pro evolution soccer, watching football, visiting the pub, talking cock with friends. ok, but being honestly serious, how do you correlate personal activity to the course you want to pursue?
imagine..
electrical engineering: i spend my free time building little gadgets such as am radio, radio clock, auto vacuum cleaner with intruder alarm system. WOW! i didn't actually do any of those before i came to EEE.
i dunno. how would you answer that question?
ii) NUS welcomes the contributions each student brings to its community. Describe a special talent, contribution or a personal quality that you will bring to NUS. (1200 characters)
making enxin's bottle look like something else during lunch break. spouting non-stop nonsense with marvin and lim. suaning kaileng 24-7. hmm. contribution im bringing to imperial college. i pay for my food and make use of the free swimming pool as much as i can?
iii) Is there anything else you would like us to know about yourself, such as a significant setback or a personal experience that had an impact on your aspiration to read the course you have chosen at NUS? (1200 characters)
ok. i shall answer the question according to their specifics. a setback or personal experience that affected my aspiration to do EEE. when i was young, i thought the TV was an amazing invention. then when i grew older, i thought the computer was even more amazing. when i went to secondary school, the internet was damn amazing. but one day, all of them broke down. i was sad. so i decided to be an electrical engineer. will that do?
oh no. i'm damn crappy today. but really. i think the nus questions suck. damn out of point. esp. the 3rd question. not dissing nus, but think they could come up with more answerable questions. and spare me from thinking so hard to help my brother. well well.

LOL.. ur answers are damn funny.
what course is ur brother doing?
he's thinking of doing chemistry, chemical engineering or medicine. don't quite know what he wants. haha.
yeah. he told me he realised he don't have to answer those questions, 'cos those were for applicants who won the medals or competed for singapore in international competitions (sports, maths, etc.) the application form is quite confusing really.
can't believe they ask such questions and yet requires one to ans them with 1200 words
hahaa.., so interesting.
