Sayonara MIT, c ya later in PostGrad. !

A decision has been made....
It's all started when I was taking a bath; thinking about my MIT's application, which is still in progress.

There're three possible outcome :
1. Rejected, then my only choice is NTU
2. Accepted
a) I accept ----> getting transferred into MIT
b) I don't accept ----> stay in NTU

Obviously, the only way I leave NTU is outcome 2.a), but it's not that simple. One big consideration is I need to pay a huge amount of money to break the Tuition Grant, which may be unaffordable. Besides, I've already planned a lot of targets to achieve in NTU and I thought that it'll be shameful if I failed my commitment; don't want to go over the same mistake again and again. Afterall, I need to confirm this with my life instructor, Jesus Christ and my parents.

So I prayed to Him, telling the truth and asking for correction if my decision is flawful...
As expected, it feels a lot better after I did that and the remaining's just to inform this to my parents. Well, a short phone call ,but quite meaningful : they didn't blame me and support me all the way unless I haven't verified this to Him.

One thing for sure, He'll advise me when mine's wrong and so I take the decision, leaving no worries and dissapointment. In any case, I have a plan to take the postgrad. in MIT later on so for now, it's time to get outsanding marks and build my network in NTU !

First Post - Introduction

As this is my first post, every ideas are just flying around but almost none of them is that important to be included, at least for now. So let's start with a brief introduction of myself.

My full name's Raymond Christopher Sitorus
Q : I think your fam's name is Christopher, how come ?
A : Well, actually it's because my name's just Raymond Christopher in my passport, so I must use/write that given name in most cases. People call me Raymond / Christopher / Ray / Mond / Chris / Mod(*)

Q : The last nick sounds weird ?
A : It got something to do with my past habit in solving Math problems. (Mod from Modulo and from the similarity with nick Mond)

I am studying in NTU, majoring Mathematical Science, first year.
Q : I've heard that u're planning to study at MIT, how's it going ?
A : That's right, and I'm still on the finishing stage, just wish me luck for now =)

I was born on 9 January 1991
Q : A freshman in such young age, huh ?
A : For me it's not the best part. 9/1/1991 is just very special, seeing from "Math" point of view, of course.

Q : So can I conclude that you really like Math ?
A : Truly my first interest; or my "big bro" ^^. I knew, from my childhood, that it's one of my extraordinary talent He's given me and I've been trying not to waste the gift.

Q : It means you've gained sucess with your Math skill ?
A : Yup, neither too much nor too little achievements 'till now. The last and maybe the best until now was the Silver Medal of International Math Olympiad (IMO) 2007, Hanoi (Vietnam).

Q : Since you do like Math, do you also like Computer ?
A : Yes, I have interest in Computer, especially programming. Of course because it needs logic, and sometimes not that simple. I love challenges ! =p

My favourite football club is Juventus
Q : And u also like footbal ?
A : Indeed, compared to other kind of sports.

Q : Your other favorite sport maybe ?
A : Swimming I think, quite effective and efficient for busy workers.

Playing piano is one of my refreshing activity other than playing game.
Q : That's nice, and what kind of music do you prefer ?
A : Pop and Jazz will do, plus a little Classical and Oldies.

I think that's all for now.
Q : What ? So fast ? How can I contact u ?
A : Email : raychris8901@yahoo.com
MSN : raychris8901@hotmail.com.
Don't forget you can add my friendster account in which I'm using my Yahoo mail.

Q : Any contact number ?
A : (+65)91241049

Well, that's all for now, because I'm quite tired already. Don't worry I'll do post some later !
