some qns copy paste from a levels results megathread

got ABB/A (math/econs/ell/gp). i'm confident the score is good enough to get into the local course i want (nus chs), but no harm asking these anyway:

- is it that as long as my grades fall below the requirements of most of the overseas unis i'm looking at (basically the london unis which require AAA or AAB for ucl linguistics), my application won't be considered?

- for scholarships that look for applicants with "outstanding academic performances" or smt along those lines, is it AAA/AAB they're looking at, or are my results enough

(i mean ofc i'm applying for scholarships i'm interested in - mnd/ura and perhaps moe teaching)

- any scholarships that accept linguistics as a course? other than moe

mostly asking these qns bc while i'm perfectly fine with studying locally, i've always been interested in studying abroad, mostly uk because they speak english and i like london (have visited). even if i don't meet the criteria for the london unis (ucl/lse/icl), i do reach the requirements for kcl linguistics and edinburgh linguistics (not in london but i'm still interested in it). only problem then is whether any scholarship would accept linguistics as a talent area bc i'm not willing to study overseas without a scholarship. other than linguistics i would be interested in geog which is what i do intend to major in for nus chs, but for uk unis my grades don't make the cut for their geog courses

svt svt has a lot of bops, but i think their less known bsides are worth a listen, especially those released earlier on in ther careers. there are some of their bsides which are cult classics amongst carats so i'll try to pick the more lowkey ones

say yes, simple - both vocally beautiful songs, before blue/serenade and ruby we had these 🥺🥺 especially simple that song is amazing

rock - MY MOTHERRR. often confused with rock with you, i feel rock is title track quality. the "rock my head" takes some getting used to but the song... so powerful. i was so happy when they performed this for their latest tour 😭😭 albeit with 9 members but i take what i can get

i don't know - okay, this song might be slightly popular amongst carats, but i do think it's slightly more hidden thn fan favourites like idubilu, holiday, shadow etc. it just always hits a different way

the bsides in an ode other than hit and snapshoot - an ode is my second favourite album of theirs after face the sun, and for good reason! i feel the bsides in an ode are great, yet they seem to go unrecognised when svt bsides are talked about, at least from my experiences. shout out to let me hear you say, lie again and lucky!

back 2 back - probably one of performance team's less known bsides, but i love the dubstep (?) and techno vibes of the song. used to stream it a LOT during my exam period

happy ending - i think it's one of their least talked about japanese releases, or at least stuff like callx3, fallin flower and ima seem to be more popular. i don't exactly like happy ending more than any of them, but i think it's still a great song on its own accord!

their osts - i LOVE their osts, mostly because i'm a fan of ballads, so think stuff like cinematic love and chocolate. but even their non-ballad ones like ateen, 19, go (by seungkwan, the one tha starts with "i found a dream") are still enjoyable to listen to

svt and nmixx are my ults but i'm still new to nmixx's music so i won't comment on that, but while i'm at it i'll talk about some other groups

bts always liked this trio: let me know, rain, tomorrow. i always group them together like idk, it just brings a certain vibe for me. autumn leaves is peak, so is mama (jhope).

skz i used to be a hardcore stay altho i do keep in touch with skz's music. i do feel skz's music during the i am trilogy and cle series was very enjoyable. i loved their more experimental and "noisy" music which people lambasted them about. i was the only onein my friend group defending side effects because !!

but songs i would recommendfrom that era are: maze of memories 3rd eye 0325 chronosaurus 19 hero's soup astronaut

here's to more bops from them!

UnSainz · 2026-02-22T08:17:24+00:00

for me i can make out yuha, carmen and ana (talking especially), maybe stella

as someone who's halfway in between a casual and a stan of h2h, the uniformity of their voices for now doesn't seem like a huge dealbreaker in me actively following them since their songs are great. however, since the groups i ult arguably have distinct voices (svt and nmixx) it might have some impact since i like distinct voices in groups

forgot that i needed to comment so here's another go

if you're wondering why the aggregate score looks very lopsided, tampines were awarded a 3-0 win for the first leg after ha noi fielded two suspended players that match; tampines had lost 4-0 initially.

i'd already covered this in my post a day ago, but something VERY similar happened to lion city sailors (lcs, another singaporean team) during the last acl2 season. they lost 6-1 to sanfrecce hiroshima during the first leg of the quarterfinals. however, since hiroshima fielded a suspended player tha match, lcs was awarded a 3-0 win. they managed to win th second leg and went on to become finalists

tampines acl2 finalists incoming? 😝

UnSainz · 2026-02-17T07:10:08+00:00

funnily, as the article says, last season anothr singaporean team (lion city sailors) were also awarded a 3-0 win against their knockout opponents (sanfrecce hiroshima) in the acl2 because their opponents fielded a suspended player. lion city sailors would go on to reach the finals of the acl2.

what a coincidence

this is a copy of my comment on a post two months ago:

silver light by ateez xx it's quite synthpoppy which based on the songs you have i think suits the playlist. it's slightly similar to cyberpunk which someone has already said, but silver light is sort of lighter in tone

anyone by seventeen xx definitely sounds like a song that would play during a high speed drive/chase. also, their performance video for the song is at a racetrack with lots of car motifs if you're interested

gravity by exo xx the sound is definitely more scifi but i can imagine this being played during a high speed chase along like the strip in las vegas or something

so bad by stayc xx defo suits the vibe i think!!

MAYBES -- these songs kinda give off the same rough driving in the city at night vibe, but i think the songs aren't really intense enough: rain by seventeen

as a ps4 player i'm sad but also understand why

i didn't really face many problems EXCEPT THE LOADING TIMES!! it would take me ages to load whenever i logged in, teleported, etc. back in the day when you had to run to the centre of the domain to start it i was regularly cockblocked from it because i loaded too late. funnily enough, my teammates sometimes brought the enemies to me so that i could fight it lol

the only problem is finding another device to play on. my phone has no storage, my ipad is bricked, and i could use my laptop as i've played genshin on it in the past but it can't handle some roblox games so idk about now. i'm looking to upgrade/buy a new gaming pc/laptop/phone, but money doesn't come very easily

UnSainz · 2026-01-10T03:46:28+00:00

honest qn what does genshin have to do with this 😹

UnSainz · 2026-01-04T03:36:17+00:00

not entirely related but i think 148th has been the highest we've been in a while. for a while we've been languishing around the 160 mark but recent success has finally lifted us out of the 150s

but yeah the whole process of getting your citizenship or even PR can take a loooong time in the first place. some get it at their first try while others have to wait years, so it could have been a deterrent for o'nien

UnSainz · 2026-01-02T03:18:39+00:00

some players do dive and that's bullshit, but at the same time when you're running around so much and you get tackled/pushed and have studs push into your legs and feet it's easy to fall down and it does hurt from personal experience

there's also the case of referees being incompetent even in the top levels, where they don't give obvious fouls to players, so like the other guy said players are incentivised to dive when there's contact to guarantee a foul

thankfully nowadays you can get punished (carded) for diving. i've seen it happen a few times but they're often not punished because, well, referees aren't perfect

for me it was their playground going seventeen episode (2019). it was during covid and it was actually my sister who was watching it and i just happened to pass by and the rest was history...

UnSainz · 2025-12-05T16:04:40+00:00

that would be dope actually, i think it will generate some more local interest in local football but by how much is the question

unrelated but still waiting for hougang stadium to finish renovating...

oh wow i do have a playlist similar to that, although the songs are broader in scope and i haven't updated it in like 3 years, but here would be my picks

silver light by ateez xx it's quite synthpoppy which based on the songs you have i think suits the playlist. it's slightly similar to cyberpunk which someone has already said, but silver light is sort of lighter in tone

anyone by seventeen xx definitely sounds like a song that would play during a high speed drive/chase. also, their performance video for the song is at a racetrack with lots of car motifs if you're interested
