i made a request for DDP in CNM and Biz and NUS has never been so prompt in doing things except to REJECT people...and i wish that they were kinder in their words..but wake up liwei, welcome to the real world!

"Dear Adalia

Unfortunately, the CAP is a very important criteria not only for admission to a DDP programme, you must also maintain your CAP to remain in a DDP programme.

Having to read modules from other disciplines to fulfil your curriculum requirements cannot be used as an excuse for your CAP. From your records, your claim is not quite true. You had As and Bs for most of your modules outside of your major, but you obtained a C and a C+ for your rmajor modules. Even after removing the module which you obtained a D+ and a U grade, your CAP is still falls short of 4.0.

Admission into the programme is not decided only by FASS but by the School of Business as well. The CAP of 4.0 is only an eligibility criteria, it does not mean that students who have a CAP of 4.0 would be admitted into the programme. There is a selection process and both faculties have to agree that the student is suitable for the programme."

there are other parts to that email and i shall not go into the details of the person and all..but i definitely did hit me..look at the mention of my grades..IT DOES MATTER when you get grades that are below B average becos this is how the worlds looks at you..they dont look at who you are in reality they look at your grades and that's all to it..clearly As and Bs are NOT ENOUGH..whatever you SCORE goes down to history permanently..no second chances..i am not DYING to do a DDP but it would be nice but like most people who are applying into the universities locally..nope i am out of the game..its alright..i'll continue in this school for TWO more years..pull up my grades and ultimately if i shine is not becos of this place cos what is taught is like the latest harry potter- it is not the same in the real world..when you have to face the intensity of all the things the feeling is different..we need to learn the defense skills that will work in the real world and not just theory and on paper...

i am not angry..really..in fact i think that i am just more sian..getting angry is not the emotions experienced here and anyway i did told God that it would be up to His plans..and since the day that i stepped into this school..the doors to Biz has always been closed and its foolishness on my part to try to open what is closed..becos His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts..couple of other things happened at home and i feel that perhaps it is just the dumb efforts by the enemy once again to get me down..thank God for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix..there are some stuff that i learnt from there...

1. the enemy likes to make you feel that you are alone --> when it is only you, you are not so strong and easier to defeat..

- sorry to disappoint, i am not fighting on my own.

2. Whatever you see could be just what the enemy wants you to see and not the truth.

- how do you want to look at things? do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sow, that he will surely reap. come on focus on the PROMISES and not the distractions.

3. the fear of the truth may just cause you to do the wrong things.

4. there is sth that the enemy does not have -- Love, Friendship and Unity.

- that is the weapon of our warfare..build those up and store them up in our storehouse!

5. dont fight the battle alone when you can equip others and fight together!

- a three-fold cord is not easily broken..there is power in agreement..unity!

there are always things that i would pick up in movies- of cos there are good and bad things that are shown..i just pick things out and apply to my life..i wrote down those points on paper last night before i checked my email this morning..and i am glad that i did that becos i know that the enemy is just trying to get me down..lose focus..the charms will only work when we are focused..whatever things that we do can only work when we are focused..i need to stay focus in order not to get hurt/injured. and i know that i am not fighting on my own..not letting things like these get me down..just stay strong and keep the foothold in my own life..i can do it and i can fight it...

perhaps there is a greater purpose in all these..i will learn sth from these...FOCUS and UNITY!
