Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
This topic is not related to toilet training of puppies, but personal note.
Sunday April 30, 2006 is a significant day for Daniel. He could not sleep on receiving the email. He got accepted by Murdoch University (via email reply) to study Veterinary Medicine. In 2006, a large number of applicants had been received by Murdoch. So their reply for the first 8 successful candidates for the first quarter of 2006 was delayed from beginning of April to end of April.
Recruitment agents in Singapore told Daniel and me that all applicants have straight As in their grades. If not, don't bother to apply. Murdoch Univ is very difficult to get into. So, I told Daniel. He ought to have studied much harder. His teacher (one of my dog clients) had expressed the sadness that he was intelligent and could do well. But, the teacher shook his head, "He was not hard working in his studies." As parents, we left him alone. So, in the last 3 months before the "A" levels, he studied hard. We let him chart his own future.
If he had focused on academic excellence, he would have got all straight As. Less of late nights with the other boys. It seems that teenaged boys must go out late nights and stay overnight. Play pools. Party. National Service full time had curtailed his social life drastically. I thought this was good for him. He thought otherwise.
So, after the agent's advices and the exhibition, I thought he might be acceptable by Sydney University and he had looked forward to cosmopolitan Sydney. No reply from the other universities as at May 1, 2006. Except for Murdoch Univ.
In mid-April, I emailed to Murdoch for the results. If there was no hope for Daniel, we could apply to Glasgow University where I graduated. The reply was that there was a large crop of applicants and so the reply was delayed to end of April. So, there was a great interest in veterinary studies from Singapore. Maybe from the region.
Acceptance is one thing. Now the hardest part is to study hard and graduate. Stay the course. Not come back half way. Otherwise it is a lot of parental money down the drain.
