I do remember you! It was a small school so you end up pretty much knowing everybody. Aw, that's nice. A living, breathing and talking example. It's remarkable as to how long it's been since I've left. You've still got a year to go, so it's only school exams for now. Good luck for those! IB's a bitch but it's fun.

Chris De Zilva, don't know if you remember me.
Well, she said that you once told her that you and your family were set on moving to the USA and then a few weeks later you returned and told her that you hated it because they questioned you at the airport for hours because you were Muslim.
She uses you as an example of how people tend to stereotype others based on what they've h...

I probably do. What's your name? (PM me if you're not comfortable in giving it out) I'm doing well, thanks. Just started university last year in Canada after a double gap year. Two more years to go though, can't wait!

Yeah, I'm studying there now, almost half-way through IB! I'm sure we've met before, you probably don't remember me though.
Anyway, how's Post-IB life treating you?

Hey Aboo, I may be completely wrong, but it just seems like too much of a coincidence.
I was going through the Interview thread and I noticed that you said (at the time) you were studying in Singapore and you were graduating in '08.
You didn't happen to graduate from Chatsworth International School did you?

Haha Chatsworth is extremely unlikely since I know most of the people who are taking exams this year - extremely tiny school! Yeah, forgot Tanglin's joined the IB bandwagon too. BU?
I go to SFU, which is also in Vancouver. Didn't apply to UBC. What course are you going to do?

I could've been from Chatsworth too.. or from Tanglin.. haha, fine, fair enough. there aren't that many choices to choose from.
oh, cool! which uni?
i was deciding whether to go to UBC or BU. but since UBC doesn't offer my course until second year, i chose BU. since i could go straight into what i want to do.

You're from Singapore, you're on this site (which means you're a keener) and you look Indian Indian so that rules out all the local schools. Haha I graduated from Chatsworth in 08. I'm at university in Canada now.

um.. yeah, i am.. how'd you guess? :O
I would attempt to guess where you're from. but i think i'd fail miserably at guessing. are you one? that'll narrow it down to 13 places. xD
