Dear enquirer,
You are exempted if you have taken GCSE English and passed or if you hold a GCE 'O' Level in English with at least a grade C.
Many thanks.
I thought it was funny.. cos they called me "enquirer". I think they were confused.. and didn't know which is my first and last name so they called me "enquirer" hahaha
Anyway, yeah.. no need to spend $280 on the test!

I'm having a day off tomorrow!
I'll be bringing Mini Me to watch The Incredibles too. It will be fun.. just the 2 of us, we can make it if we try, just the two of us... you and i..

Yeah.. so, have you won anything from any contest before? & What is it?

Oh yah, now that you mentioned this. Know what I experienced?
If the name is 'Tan Gong Kia', it will have to change to 'Gong Kia Tan' in ang mo countries.
But that's not the issue. Because they are used to calling to just the first name, you'll thus be called 'Gong'! Nabeh, so insulting! Lucky my name still okay sounding. Hehehe.
Jayaxe : hahaha! yeah my surname is quite ok also.
I will try make the angmos call me by my Chinese name.. muahaha
Popcorn : Yeah sometimes i am also lazy to take part in contests.. i hope i will get luckier and win BIGGER prizes.. hohoho
UK universities don't need TOEFL - for Singaporeans, you just need a pass (at least C6) for your O levels English.
Where are you heading to in UK?
Hi Anon (what's your nick/name by the way? :) ), thanks for stopping by.
Yeah they gave me a conditional offer and told me to submit my TOEFL/IELTS score. Anyway all has been sorted (i think!). I'm checking with them if they need me to submit my O level cert again....
I'm heading to Leeds Uni.
I don't remember ever winning anything. Boo hoo.
I won a choc hamper and heaps of CDs from radio stations in Msia. No $380 hamper though. Boohoo.
Oh yah, my most memorable win was not from some lucky draw, but at the casino, the last ever day I spent in Brisbane.
Guess what? I was about to return to S'pore empty handed when I was dealt with a jackpot hand winning AUD$900 (playing Carribean Stud)! Returned home, hands trembling with joy and felt very estatic. Heh heh. Anyone a Carribean Stud fan here?
