Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts - Money Y
Ok first,
Happy Birthday Seah Hee Cheng (:Thank you for accompanying me to NAFA open house. Had fun. :D
Okay now.
I realised how miserable life can be without money. How everything seems to revolve around that very word is crazy annoying. Money. Money. Cash. Dollars. As much as people say money isn't the world, Money still takes the lead in our lives. Sure, people say "Money doesn't buy happiness." But what do those people know, really? Are they over exceedingly wealthy - and can't find any good use of their money? Or are they poor, and had come to realise that people like them need a phrase to convince themselves that money is not important? What, reverse psychology? Oh,
come on. Seriously.
We all know money buys happiness. We all know that money is the ticket to anything. Everything. As long as you've got money, you've got the world lingering at the tip your fingertips. Don't bullshit about how money spoils, money's a distraction and shit. Who are we kidding? You want education? Sure, hand the money. You want to be smart? Sure, hand the money. You want food? Sure, hand the money. You want to save a life? Sure, pass the money. You want a baby? Okay, where's the money? You want to die? Definitely, but where's the money.
Money money money.
Okay why the sudden outburst about money right?
Because I went to NAFA today. Was crazy pumped up. Excited as hell. HeeCheng brought me around, and yes, I got my questions answered about what life in NAFA is like. Getting into the school is one problem. But when I
do get into the school, where's the money? -.- There's this Access Course for musicians like me who dont have qualifications and but want to join NAFA. So, I have to attend the course. And audition of course. Basically getting into the school is just focussed on the Audition. If you shine in your audition, chances of you getting into the school is a high chance. So, I cant screw my audition. Okay, so guess how much is the Access Course ? Two thousand.
$2000. Where am I going to get that money now? And its only to enroll into the course, not the school. Imagine the school ! How much
more money do I have to beg for.
I'm partially desperate to be a NAFA student. I've thought and considered my options, yet NAFA still appears as my first aim. I want to study in NAFA. I want to be a music degree holder in that school. But notice, this is all what I
want. What do I
need is entirely a different matter. And where do I get the money? Forget money for the school. How do I get the money for the Access Course? And when I finish the course, what if i don't get into NAFA? What if I wasted $2000 for the course, but end up not entering NAFA. What a horrible outcome.
I'm confused, discouraged, and helpless.
I had my hopes way up there, and now suddenly its like floating only a mere meter from the ground. I hope I can make it into NAFA. Now, I gotta screw my head with the confidence I know I don't have and work for an amazing Audition for the school.
SherilAmilia, a wild dream, that is.
Kay, I wanna go on but got homework.
Hope this NAFA thing is put aside. I cant seem to focus in anything when I have my mind going on and on about in. Sigh, NAFA*.
