I suddenly remembered my days in Polytechnic. I thought, compared to Secondary school days, I was much reserved and quieter, and i didn't quite fit in.

I was in Temasek Polytechnic, Design school pursuing a degree in Interactive Media Design. To me, it was God's grace for me to get into the course. There were only 75 seats in that course. In order to qualify for the course, you need to go through an creative test and interview. I seriously think i didn't do well for the creative test. Compared to the rest, i am not creative.

When i was waiting for my turn to be interviewed, i saw the others bringing their drawings and paintings. Some were really very good. :( Then, i compared to mine. AW. Let the ground swallow me! I knew i couldn't go into an engineering course. My O level results was quite bad. Only 4 passes!! Actually, i couldnt qualify for MOST courses! Well- I just prayed and asked God to help me. Immediately, there was a peace that settles in. :) God is good to me. He gave the place in design school for me.

Well. I didn't really fit in to all the rest. But, Jennis Li was the first friend i met. I am somehow attracted to her because she was quiet and different. We clicked :) Afterwhich, Jennis and Melissa...we became clicks. We were called the umbrella ladies. Hahaa..because Jennis would always carry an umbrella around. She wants to be fair!! We were weird trio~Someone commented seeing us together. Yet, we clicked. :)

Jennis was the cool gal. She pierces her chin and had a great sense of design and ideas. Her style was cool, retro :)

Melissa was the nurturing Christian gal. She draws very very well. :) Everyone calls her "Mama Lemon.." Cause she look really nurturing. :) And, she is so good with her visuals.

ME? I am the odd one. They say i look brave and daring. :) Yep. I am the story-video girl. Many many stories in my head...but i suck at design.

We are the umbrella ladies and we dreamt dreams. We wanted to go to Germany to study.... :) I dreamt of doing stuff together :) For Jennis and Melissa, they would want to further their design studies in Germany..studying the language too :) How romantic!! For me, I like film and would want to study that :) OR, just to try working in overseas. :) HA.

Jennis....She is REALLY in Germany studying design! I am not sure what she is majoring. I guess, in her blood, it's really for the beautiful things and to make things more beautiful :)

Melissa. She is in Australia studying nutrition :) What a difference! This gal got talent. She can design, draw, play sports well, cook well and now, she is going to determine people's diet :)

ME? You know what is in my blood. I guess the poor, oppressed, needy and community will always be in my blood. That's what i am living and dying for.

We all dreamt dreams. Miss you, gals. Hope we can catch up again :)
