Why do things have to get more complicated just as I thought they were getting clearer, with accepting NUS and rejecting SOAS?

I’ve just been told that I’m invited to go for the MFA first round interview and am still being considered for PSC. While I’d like to work for the MFA, they want their scholars to go overseas. To tell them that I want to stay in Singapore would seriously weaken my case for a scholarship, apparently.

Many would jump at the chance, and I must admit that it is extremely tempting.

And then, as I sat here, I heard an Audi A4 ad. It said, “These are my principles, so I will stick by them.”

I will tell the truth on Tuesday. I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so God help me. I’ll need lots of help.

This fellow's wise enough to play the fool,
And to do that well craves a kind of wit.
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eyes. This is a practice
As full of labour as a wise man's art.
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.
