RAEVILLE

Here's a little piece of information I thought I'd share with everyone!

In 1957, the USSR launched the world's first satellite
into space called Sputnik. Half a year later in 1958,
the Americans launch their
first satellite called Explorer I,
which exploded after lifting off
half a metre from the ground.

Talk about embarrassing.

Random. I'd been studying the space race as part of the superpower rivalry during the Cold War earlier tonight. It's interesting anyway.

I've caught a cold. Surprise, surprise. It's weird because I haven't been this sick in the last six months and I'm generally a healthy person compared to others in the boarding house. I have a feeling however that it is a result of stress from school. Ah, my good friend stress.

KvB Raffles College of Design is having an open day, and Ploy and I have decided to go together to check it out. It's my reason to get out of the boarding house to do a bit of shopping after that ;)

I've found that I have so many options to choose from if I don't get into UTS next year. There's TAFE, numerous private colleges like Billy Blue and Raffles, or I could take a half a year or a full year off to do short courses, diplomas and etc to make a portfolio... There're so many thing to choose from that I'm getting confused from it. I still want to go to university, of course. That's my main priority right now -- getting in. But otherwise, where else could I go?

I was sitting in English today, listening for a change. My teacher was talking about imagining ourselves having our schoolies break. She mentioned a beach, crystal clear and blue sea, cocktails beside you... That's what I want to do. I'm hoping mum or dad can help fund for a vacation to Singapore, where I will unleash the party animal within, together with Jude. Then both of us will go to an island or some beautiful resort away from everything and rest on the sand, drinking cocktails all day. Ohh, I can feel it already.

Aside from looking forward to the holidays, I've been studying. Yes I have.

I'm going to bed now. I'm tired and I need to rest.

Cheers.

PS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAUN :)

RAEVILLE came about some time in the year of 2001. or 2002. it's been so long that i've forgotten already.
it all started here (i doubt the link works anymore though), in a dodgy little blog page. then it moved to here. a year later, and we moved to better things, namely blogspot.

ps. raeville is best viewed on mozilla firefox. just because it's better :)
