The beginning of a new chapter..

One of my bestest buddies just left the company (for good)... 

I thought I won't be very much affected by that until now, his very last day. He would not be there tomorrow when I report to work. The feeling is terrible. I know it will soon become a norm to me, especially in this company, but these being the first time that I have to accept someone leaving, someone so close to me, I am feeling down. 

I was reluctant to go home after work just now, cause I have so much words to say, but I just can't seems to spell it out in his face. 

Being from the same induction group, we are (in a way) dependent on each other in the beginning. Then slowly, I'm dependent on him, cause he is always ready to help me out. So thankful for him being my induction mate, team mate and one of the team buddies!

I wonder how will my work life without him be like, though there are other run legs readily available. For a long while in my life, I feel that I am being taken care of by all the guys in my team. Though they are saying that I'm forcing them to run all the errands for me, the true is they don't mind helping me out. I'm feeling really fortunate to know so many of them and have them staying by me. I know it would be hard to find another of the same brunch of you, so I will certainly cherish what is around me now.

Sum up of 2014

2014 is coming to an end, and I got inspired to write a summary of this year. Actually it is good to take some time off and reflect on what had happened and the things that I have Achieved. 

I started off the year as a final year undergrad, and I am glad to graduate with good grades. My parents were never there for my past academic achievements due to the nature of their job. Thus I was determine to do well in my final year and leave no regret. I do not want to see myself regretting not having studied hard enough like how I did after A's. I'm glad that I managed to clichéd good results and for the very first time, my mother is able to watch me going into the stage live. Honestly, I can't wait for convocation next year, where both of my parents would be present. Thanks for all these years, it's repaying time! 

Final year of studies was one of the better academic years as I get to socialize at least once per week! With the 3hours lectures which resembles more like a tutorial and the 25mins lunches, I'm really feeling like a true blue university student. I'm grateful for the effort of the people who I met in SIM, for keeping in contact with me. Honestly, I might be full of energy outside, bubbly and all, but once I'm home, I'm a just a zai nu. It is rare that I will initial a talk with anyone unless I'm in that mood. So, really thanks for bugging me and suggest a meetup every once in a while. 

 One of my new year wishes was to get a job before I even graduate from the school, though that did not happened, I still managed to find one relatively fast. I was being humble when I was in search for jobs since I'm from SIM, but I landed myself in a place where it is beyond my expectations! I'm really thankful for that!😊😊 Though I got into a hiong team, where OT-Ing is like a norm daily, I'm still grateful to be in this team. I can't imagine myself to JZM all the while the entire day, I'm here to learn &work, not here to lepak (though some leisure time is preferred:p). The team split is certainly a good way to lessen our workload, and I can see myself having longer lunch outside daily now! A lot of people are pretty envious of me, cause I seems happy at work. Oh well, work can be stressful at times, but the environment balance it out. Because it's a rather big company, you will get to interact with new people daily, provided that u are outgoing la. And with the high turnover, there will be new people coming in before you are bored with the existing batch. So ya~

Another takeaway from work is a bunch of nice people who clicked on extremely well with me. I believe that cause this is most of our first job, being innocent and all, we tend to go all out in making friends. Fortunely, everyone is really nice, not that many scheming people around! Those days of induction, batch lunches, d&d and random drinking sessions together, I LOVE IT ALL!  I doubt I will be able to make friends that clicked with me that well at my next workplace. I'm really thankful for all of you! I'm not leaving yet, just saying! And thanks to all of your & d&d, my party side is being let out. Oops! Hahah

Towards the end of year, i went Korea again. I think I can totally write a travel guide now since I'm so familiar with that place. Visited many places which I didn't have the change to the previous time. However, Korea failed to attract me like the first time, maybe cause there was no drinking session this time round; but being there during early winter is still a brand new experience! The freaking cold weather, having to wear several layers each day, the urge to stay home daily cus of the heater at home, this is winter! Experience snow quite a few times during the trip that it became a norm thing, we are no longer exclaiming about the fact that it's snowing! 

All and all, it might not be the best trip I have till date, but it is good break away from work. God knows how many weeks in consecutive have I been doing OT and will only be home after 12 prior to my trip. 

I will be envied of people who get to travel around the world, visiting different places and all, but i do not really fancy the thought of myself doing all the travelling, cause it will means spending away my savings. Though I still have zero plan of what to do with them, the thought of splurging them hurt. Hahahaha typical Asian. That's why I do not mind travel for work, cause the expenses will be taken care of. 

Despite saying that, I might still be seen going to nearby countries next year! Oh well, contradiction at its best. 

I think the above pretty much sum up my 2014. Hopefully 2015 will be a good year as well! 

Best regards,

HP, 2014

I have been confirmed!

Back to blogging again.. 

First up, I got the JOB! Woohoo! 

Oh well, I thought I would be extremely happy when I am to receive the confirmation letter, but sad to tell, I was like oh-to-the-Kay! My happiness was still at the peak when I got my results! Ahem.. Anw, there were only freaking 3 lines in the letter, which was totally unexpected of. I do understand that there is nothing much to write besides saying that you have been confirmed, but I worked hard for 3 months and that's all I get? Yes, suck it up bitch! #expectingtoomuch oh well, at least they printed your name on the letter and gave you a physical letter rather than an email. LOL

Now that I'm confirmed, work life goes on! I'm getting increasing 没大没小to my buddy, who will be promoted next month. But I'm glad that he don't really mind, and we have numerous funny moments together!!! Like really funny.. (Recalling all the hilarious conversation we had, LOL) I am now rather close with everyone on the team, except my bosses, and woohoo got appointed as the social committee head within 3 months leh! It's just an imaginary designation by my senior who got married recently! And I was invited too! Too bad, I didn't have the chance to take pht with her on that day~ Hais!! Anyway, I'm just trying to say that it is not really a big deal being appointed as the social committee head.

I was telling my work friends how I feel as though I'm heading to school daily when I'm actually going to work. I'm fitting in nicely into the company culture and all, which is a good thing! I'm doing more or less the same tasks recently, but everyday is not like yesterday. You could be completing everything early today, but u will only be done later than the estimated time the next. And it is becoming a taboo between us to talk about how's your day is in the early part of the day now, cause you will just jinx it! #freakingtrue Many are saying that you love your job a lot har? Hmm, how should I say it? Not bad, I would say.. I'm that kind of person who would enjoy whatever I am doing, so ya lor. Just like How I had enjoyed going school when I'm in SIM. The only few days per weeks where I get to interact with people beyond my comfort zone. 

I'm getting more and more vulgar now, and I think it is norm when u started working? It's really the best word to express your feelings at time. Just like when I was hungry, and my friend at work teased/said something which idk what to answer, I will just look at him and Fuck la. LoL. Hahaha I'm thankful for them all being guys, who wouldnt mind me scolding them off like that. I'm like the youngest there afterall. 

I shall end it off here.. Oh well, kinda long, haha!

The childish side of me!! *warning: unsuitable for mature readers

Though some may think that I am rather mature and independent, there is still a childish side of me which is hidden. 

I would hope for fairy-tale like situations to happen in my day to day life. Here are the lists:

1. Someone to offer me a plaster when I'm seen limping ard the office due to my uncomfortable wedges/heels which caused blister.

2. Be a good terms with some big shots and tell CV that how much he/she wants me to be on their team.

3. Arrive at the office to see a bouquet of flower/gift on my desk that says 'from your secret admirer'.

4. To receive a big bouquet of flower and then tell the person who gave me that that I'm allergy to pollen. LOL

5. To make my existence known in the office, such that people who I'm zero interaction with know my name! (DONE! Woohoo) 

6. To know a boyfriend who pretended to be average but turn out to be rich man son! 

7. Get a foreigner BF, but he is willing to learn Chinese for my sake. 

And the lists go on... I will add in more when I thought of it. *wink

Just a little bit more on work

Work is just as mentioned previously, nothing changed, except the fact that my probation is ending, like real soon. I have left the thought of passing or failure behind me long ago, and am enjoying every moment I am with my team. 

Whether I clear the probation anot, here are my achievements for the past months:

1. Established myself as a INFO BANK (EIB) oh well, I'm simply too observant that I know a lot of things that happened in the office.

2. I was appointed as the social committee head for the team. For the same reason as above, my collegues are saying that my radar is way too strong to be true.

3. Get closer with my teammates that I can joke around with them every now and then while working.

4. Know a bunch of people, their official name is batchmates, but truth is, they are my FRIENDS! Lunchmates too!

5. Made my existence known in the company, as the manager of other teams recognise me. 

6. My excel skills improve tremeously; and i can now do typing on the keyboard now as though I'm playing piano. LOL

 

7. And many more, which are more technical and all..

Oh well, I nvr meant to write about work, but since I did, so be it.

Procrastination over~

There is plenty of thoughts recently, I have been trying to pen it down, but the mood is just not there to complete the post. 

Oh well, the mood is back, I should be completing the post now~

HP

RESULTS IS OUT AND I GRAD!

I achieved my dream results.

I was surprised by my results which were released a few days(weeks ago by the time I complete this post). Though I was kind of hoping that it will turn out well, I was still blown away at the moment when my results finish loading on my tablet. I was literally trembling and I'm not joking.

There is just too many whom helped me in one way or another throughout for my UOL journey.

First of all, my parents. They are definitely not approving of me going to SIM, but that's where my results can bring me to. #suckstobeme(back then) Nonetheless, they financed me throughout. Though they have been saying that I will be the one who will be benefiting from my academic achievement, so I should work hard for myself; Little did they know that all i wish is for them to be proud of me. Hence, they are always my motivation of studying harder and aiming high, even if it means to touch the sky. I mean how else can you better repay your parents' financial support throughout your life other than making their every cents spent worthwhile. So, THANKYOU PAPA & MAMA!

Next up would definitely be FRIENDS. Be it those who went SIM together me with from JC, or those I met during my UNI life(though there is not many), they are definitely the essentials, esp during the freshmen year. I am glad that we were so mature that we didn't choose the same module just to get accompanion for classes. The sharing of SIM important updates and reminders, though I am the one who did the job most of the times, but ya.. Thanks for bursting my little bubble during my freshmen year by telling me how below average my results were, and that I should work ever harder to match up with you guys. Thanks for bombarding my WA with all sort of questions the day before exam to make me nervous and was thinking: SHIT, IDK ALL THOSE STUFF!!! T.T 

My UNI life may not be as HAPPENING as the others, but the presence of ALL of you have certainly BEAUTIFY my UNI life to the MAXIMUM. THANKYOU.

Why is our convocation so far away from now? I would probably forget all this happiness when the time comes. Oh well, who cares. I am still gonna do the renting of gown, forced a couple of two and Tada, we are attending the convocation together!!

The final line before ending:我们真的毕业🎓了！

My life with a job, a little cash and many friends

I have a few minutes to spare and so am here to share a little of my thoughts.

Knowing that I am from SIM, despite holding a UOL degree, getting a job would be hard. So, I have actually lowered my wish list during my job hunting. 

I guess my mum is right, just let nature take its course. To be honest, I was not expecting a positive reply when I emailed my resume to the company, I cannot even believe that I got the job eventually. And it was until yesterday then I realized that this job actually fits my job wish list perfectly. It is an MNC; not underpaying me; finance industry; good culture and environment. So ya, what else can I ask for?! Having a group of batchmates who is there to love, hate and share sorrow with, it is a bonus!! That's why I'm afraid of losing it, it has became something really important for me. Some may say that we can always find another job, but then I'm not the kind with good job hunt luck.

Anw, the other thing which I want to share is that this job makes me realise who are my REAL friends. Due to my unusual working hours (which I like it a lot), I can't really meet up with them on usual dinner time. I can only arrive at late 8 or 9pm, and that is provided that I am able to complete my tasks on time. I am really thankful of them for accommodating to my working hours and place, and arranged to meetup near my work place! And I'm also thankful of your for arranging a meetup cause of the need of it and not for other reasons. Kamsa! Love your much! 

Alright, that is it for nowww! I am praying for the best for everything in my life.

The fear of losing something (which seems) dearest to me

A few consecutive incidents that happened within a day had made me realize that the job i am holding now is not completely mine, yet, I am still under probation.

Maybe this is my first formal job, I have always thought that probation can be cleared easily; the possibility of failing one is low, till one of my colleagues left. I was rather traumatize by that, and became very very conscious when I am delivering my tasks late (cause it is part of my goals to deliver on time) . I am sincerely hoping that I would be able to clear my probation and celebrate the 4th PD and so on with my fellow batch mates. Praying hard nowww!

Putting that fear asides, the company's policy to filter employees through probation shows that they are only interested in people who can contribute. And they are really hiring people based on trust, so hiding and lying to the firm about your education or employment history will do you no good. They will just terminate your employment soon after you join. Pardon my mistake for seeing you as desperate company for people, you are just being nice to give everyone who come by a chance.

I was feeling kinda down recently, but I am thankful for those who were there and will continue to be there for me, to listen to my rants daily, to hear me saying alien languages and still pretend to understand. Cant be more thankful to the existence of these people, especially when i am staying away from home. I guess I am gonna rise above all this and give my best at work daily Hopefully I will leave the company with no regret if I am told to. But I am just saying, please do not ask me to leave, I really love the company and job! T.T

Okay, my thoughts are more or less written down and cleared from my mind, so it is time to sleep! Woohoo, gonna start afresh tomorrow! Hwaiting :)

Induction 07/01/2014, our paths crossed.

Taking my first annual leave from work in my life despite not having doing proper work for the past 1.5weeks.

I was on training for the past 1.5weeks, and reporting at 930am to the office daily feel the same as going to school not long ago. I didn't dread of going school or office, instead I'm looking forward to it. Looking forward to the chance to interact with people, be it colleagues, batch mates and am interested to know what is gonna happen for the rest of the day... Haha maybe it was just me who feels that way, but I really enjoyed myself ever since I started working. Well, perhaps I will change my opinion after my first month end! We shall see. 

Anyway, my batch mates and I sort of prefer to describe our life in the company as enrolling in NS. Hence yesterday was our POP. Lol, it was the end of our induction, and we will be dispersed to different corners of the office. It was pretty surprising to see how much we have bonded on the week(s). Perhaps the age gap between us is small?! However, just by looking at how we do not pick to sit beside any specific person over lunch, and be able to talk to whoever that is present at your table, I think we guys really know each other well. 

We had a dinner gathering after induction yesterday and though we are missing of 3 persons, it was awesome!! I really didn't expect this when I first joined the company; I was hoping for some partners for lunch when I signed the contract and it turned out to be better than I had expect. 

I am really thankful for you guys! :) Looking forward to the next batch outing or induction! Meanwhile, let's work hard, chill hard and play hard (in the pantry) together. Oh bond well with your various teams too! Lastly please think of me on 'beer and chips' day! *wink 

For work, I'm no longer HuiPin, but Ethel. No matter my name, my (pretend) extrovert characteristics remain.

Weeks into working

I'm not sure what to do at this point of time, and so I thought of blogging.

I did mentioned at my previous post that I had found a job, and I started on 16 June.

There was a total of 7 new hires for OA, and I am really thankful for their existence. They were not just my lunchmates when I got 'neglected' by my team on the first day, they are also my help desk.  This week, we are having our induction and finally we had the chance to have lunch together in full strength plus a few others! And one thought strikes me today. We are intersecting with each other in the current part of our life, and after this, we will be parted. Fate allows us to meet, to know each other and work together, and I find it very amazing! Oh well, maybe thinking too much, but ya.

Anyway, work is tough and complicating when I were to join the team without induction. Knowing nothing, even performing shortcuts on excel spreadsheet can be complicating. Not to mention doing a proper rec.  Now then I realised why big firms only want to hire SMART ASS. If you are not smart, you cannot really help them. Everybody will be busy with their own tasks, meeting due time and all, they can't be there to help u out all the time, leave alone coaching!

But I do need to confess that I am taking some of things for granted. I have to admit that my buddy is being really kind and helpful, helping me out with small small issues, which I thought was nothing, but it turns out to be pretty useful and essential! Really need to thank him for that! My fellow colleagues are a bunch very nice people who are constantly giving me advice and helping me out! Thank you!! Despite you guys being very hiong at work, ignoring all the extra activities that were held at the office, we are amazing in our way. I was surprised by the birthday surprise given to new hire and those activities that the team is doing for team outing!

Oh well, none of them is going to see this post, but I shall just write it for myself as a memory (is it a correct word to use? Well, as long as I got my idea across! #whyusechimvocab)

My life is going on track now, and i will continue on with this road for awhile more before making small changes at a time. I am living up to my motto of enjoying every moment to the fullest! So yippee!!!!

Lol

JOB HUNT IS OVER!

I GOT A JOB! And it is not some random job which wants me yet I have zero interest with. This job falls nicely into one of the many career paths that I have planned for myself. Yes, I do have many career paths planned, and the reason being I do not want to be restricted. When it comes to job searching, it is not entirely about what you want do ONLY. It is the intersection of what you want and where you can go with your experience coupled with market demand. Though some of my interviewers said that you must know exactly which path you want to go, the path that you want may not want you or you may not be suitable for it! So my advice is to open up your windows and embrace yourself with all the choices.

Despite having many career paths crafted out, you will realise that those paths will be narrowed down into a few catogies. At least it was the case for me. My career paths was being narrowed down into two (very different) industries. So during my job search, I look out fo jobs for these two paths and was about to settle down into either one when the opportunity comes. 

One important issue is that you must know where do you hope you will be in 5 or 10 years time. For me, I sorted out that one of my Paths is not as feasible as it will lead me to nowhere 5-10 years down the road, so I just dropped that out from my list.

Well, not like I have plenty of experience in this issue, but I just want to share what I really feels. 

Heading for work like a OL. Ending off.

Wedding photos <3

Attended several weddings recently, and have seen plenty of wedding photos. Beautiful were all the photos, but they do not possess the correct vide of what I hope my wedding photos should have. 

It was until I was wasting my time exploring ig today that I found the vide that I was looking for - Koreanish wedding photo! Not sure if it was because it was in trend, or is it because I'm into Korean stuff now, those wedding photos blown me off~

Hopefully, when I'm getting married, my potential husband will have the capability of allowing us to indurge in such luxurious pre-wedding activity! It's once in my life time thing, so It must be done up nicely, right?! I hope that I would not have to settle for the usual stuff that most people do, but it is totally not to my liking.

Well~ not like I will be getting married soon, or I will be taking those photos in advance. But ya, feel free to browse their ig and experience the happiness of getting married!! 

To those who just got married, HAPPY MARRIAGE!! *heart heart*

Harsh Truth about my results and UOL

Just before I opened my eyes this morning, I thought of the 'correct' way of doing one of the questions of my FM paper. WTF, why did not I thought of that during exam?! OMTian~

The next thing I thought was that: Would my final grade be affected? Once again, OMTian~ 
Eagerly, I take out my tablet, which was under my bed, and began searching for the scheme of award for UOL. It was damn hard to find. I found one at the HWZ forum, but that were kinda outdated. I need one which is more updated and official. Luckily, the contributor at the forum provided an official link, but the contents have been changed! Things always go against your wish. 

After much troubles, I found it.    
For those who are interested in knowing your award, or you would like to set an aim, pls refers to the following link.(This is the old regulation) 

http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/sites/default/files/regulatons/2014/pdfs/psr_emfss_old_14-15.pdf

Download the one which is applicable to you under the "Undergrad" section, using this link

http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/community-support-resources/current-students/programme-specifications-regulations/programme-specifications-regulations-2014-2015

I was actually aiming for a FCH, but then I understand how tough it would be to achieve 3 FC grade in my final year, given those modules that I was taking and etc factors.. Nonetheless, I tried my best, and hopefully I would be able to achieve a decent grade at the end of the day. 

After I read through the scheme, I have a mixed feeling. I think my chance of getting a FC is diminishing, and I was so close in getting it (using my forecast results). On the other hand, I kinda secured a 2nd Upper, which is something to be happy about. 

A lot of people might say that it does not really matters what is your degree at the end of the day. IKR, but it is sort of a little aim that I set for myself? After screwing up A's, this is the another chance to prove that I can do it?! I am the kind of person, who would really focus on the things on hand, and ignore all the others. Furthermore, the number of graduates at the convocation getting FCH will be significantly different from that of a 2nd upper. So ya, slight disappointment here.  

Anyway, it is kind of disappointing to see people doing UOL to give up even before going for their exam, just because people say that it is HARD. Different people will judge the level of difficulty differently. The same unit might be hard for one, but easy for another. You would not know unless you try, perhaps you are lucky, your paper might turns out to be easy on the year you are taking it. If you gave up, you just lost a chance to do well. Yeah?! 

Another thing, prioritising is very important during the preparation of exams. No matter how busy you are, with your work or other things, pls do remember that your ultimate goal is to graduate from the college. So, put every other things down and focus on your studies. You may skip local and overseas revisions, skip prelims, and do not attend school for half a year, please do not skip the preparation for exam. It is the utmost important issue! You can go no where without the preparation. Please do not think that you can study one or two days beforehand, and think that you can do it. You might have done that magic when you are in Sec school, but this is a degree that you will be getting, not some GCE cert. 

Oh well, if you drop by here after goggling SIM-UOL, I hope you are being motivated in one way or another. Well, I doubt my words can motivate anyone, so here is another link for those who would want to be motivated. I was kind of motivated to do well after reading this blog, but his method of revision sounds too harsh for me. I went on my own pace in the end. Nonetheless, be motivated by his posts!

My UOL Journey 

Enough of saying, ending here.

Cheers, HP

Graduated 'unofficially'

In the midst of writing an effective cover letter, but I am stuck. Just then, I remembered this (idk how long) abandoned blog of mine. Well, perhaps it is time to come and do some updates. 

Finally, I am "unofficially" graduated. Had my last paper last Friday, and I have been 'resting' since then. 

Life is always contradicting. When I was young, I have always been excited about the day when I can start working and contributes to the society..(Well, less of the contributing part, and more of the I wanna make money) Now that, I can officially and be able to work full time, I am dreading it. Too much dilemma and unknown ahead, and all of this is scaring me. The process of job hunting is terrifying too. But it is the process that one has to go through right, sucking it up. 

Graduating trip to Europe (especially popular) and some other countries are common, but I can go for none (as of now la), cause the Summer school last year costs me a bomb. The main obstacle is none other than my father, who feels that I am overspending. Well, he has got the point there, so objection will just fuel the chaos. BUT, at some point of time, when I am really stress out and explode, I might just pack my bag and off I go~

I am rather drained today, so I might not be continuing with my cover letter, and I might be moving on to watch my variety shows!

Would fate gives u achievement which u have Nv work hard for?

Fate: What meant to be, will eventually be... But hardwork is still needed to push for it right? 

Final year of studies, and I'm setting an exceptionally high expectation for myself. Though I started (revision) early this year, as the remaining days get lesser, I got increasingly stress, it seems that I would not have enough time to complete my revision? 

Sometimes, I thought to myself: how about relaxing my expectations a little, then I would not be so stress up..? But then since it is the final lap, and you are going through it no matter what your expectation is, why not go the toughest way and hope for a best result? 

Two weeks left, I'm not sure if I would be able to handle it. Let's just pray for the best! 

HP

How to go on from here?

Time is running short, what to do?

It is less than 2 months to the FINALS, and I had been inefficient with studying this week. Really need to kick of my obsession with Crime related dramas, cause once you are hooked up, you cant do anything else.

While I was doing my household work today, I just realise that my aim to get a job before the exam ends seems impossible. The fear of having of being jobless after graduation strikes me.

Hais, if it is the case, then what to do? Just sucks it up and move on!

I am superstitious, so I really hope that the fortune of goat this year is as predicted, and I will have a smooth career life! Please~
(God, I sound so loser, but ya. When everything seems to fail, believing in fate is my only way out)

Life as a GRADUATING

Was printing a set of lecture notes the other day - chapter 12. 

Time flies. It was just not long ago that I was still printing my chapter 1 notes, and thinking that this will be my final year. And time is going so fast that I am coming towards the end of my lectures, slowly moving to the final stage of my degree route, ie examination. 

Getting into SIM-UOL, it is freaking easy. Getting out with a good grades? It's tough man. Only people who have been through it would understand. Others might just think that it is because we never put in enough effort(it is true to some extend), just like how we failed to do well in the previous stage of our life. How many will actually think that perhaps our exams are really tough? Honestly speaking, not many whom I met would say that. 

Not like I would care much now, but then I would really want to say this here. 

Please do not have the idea that our examination are easy to score just because we didn't enter this school with good grades like you do for local. Perhaps you should just come and try it. Sometimes your so call 3000 modules is not even equivalent to our level 300 units; Sometimes MCQ is easier than our short answer Qn, as at least you will have 20%-25% chance of getting it correct, while we got 0% if we write rubbish.

Please do not think that SIM kids do not give a damn of their studies just because we are not as competitive as you guys do. We play hard and study hard, cannot ah? Jealous? And sometimes, it is not that we never study that lead to our poor performances, it is just because I'm not academic incline, that's why I am where I am now right?! Tsk.

Please do not think that you are better just because your school is a freaking local university. God. Kay la, smarter?!

So please, if you have a SIM kid in your clique, please do not verbal insult then when they tell you that they didn't do well for their exams. 'Hello, u think easy ah? Why you never get A for your mod har?' Same reasoning right?!

Whatever the case is, with graduation, here comes unemployment. Damn it. 

Scrolling through the job search sites, looking at the requirements of the employers, and blah blah blah. Before I even start to find a job proper, I'm feeling tired that I would want to take a rest. I have a sudden urge to continue studying, and continue to be a potato at home, sucking in all nutrients. But I can't, ya?! It's funny that when we were younger, we always have the thought of quitting school and go out to earn some money, thinking that it is damn cool; but when the time comes, you want to do otherwise. 

I wanted to write about the job search only, but then things always do not go according to how you wished for. So yalo.

爱情 这一回事

一对情侣，从相识，相熟，到相爱，再到决定共结连理 到底需要多长的时间？ 

如果说半年，有人就会质疑你们到底有多了解，毕竟结婚是件一辈子的事。

但若在一起太久了，就会开始看到彼此丑陋的一面，种种的疑问慢慢浮现，如到底你是否可以跟这样的一个人过一辈子？有些时候，因为在一起久了，而忘了什么才是自己真正想要的；随波逐流般，跟眼前的人结婚，过着自己以为这就是幸福 的人生，但其实不然。

要怎样才会知道你遇上对的人，这我不知道。但我知道若遇上的那个对的人，那两人凑备婚礼的过程，不论对婚礼的细节有意见上的差异，应该还是会很开心的！两人对未来也应该充满憧憬。

我不是什么爱情专家，爱情也不是理科，有固定的方程式；面对困难的选择时，跟着自己的感觉走，才是上选。

A tai tai evening~

The cheese platter I made myself!

On last Friday, I went to the Chocolate Bar at MBS for their chocolate buffet. It is located at level 57, and so in order to be allow in, one has to make reservation in advance. So to prevent disappointment, we did our reservation and only got our slot at 9.30pm. The timing sucks, but we just stick with it. 

The ambience was really good, you get to see the infinity pool and etc. But I thought the buffet was just okayy only. I was only impressed by their free flow of TWG tea. I thought the choices was rather limited, even though I read on some other blogs/forums that say they it has 57 different variety. Perhaps there were this many variety, but none leave a deep impression on me, except for the cheese section. There were quite a number of cheese available for one to choose from, and after trying plenty, I found one of it, by the name of 'port sulat', i am not sure if I it the name correctly, but it was great! 

Overall, I thought if you would want to experience how is it feel like to dine in such a refine place, it would be a good place to go. It's a great place to take photos too! Haha it was rather great to sometime pamper yourself with luxury dining! ✌️
