Just added a new link to the section "Worth Visiting".
It's a link to a blogger called Peggy. Out of the countless number of blogs I've read, I thought hers was the most interesting, graphically rich (lotsa fotos) and most importantly, filled with plenty of sincerity, simply organic so to speak (Yu Sheng Et. al.). It's not like the kind of typical wannabe blogs that:
1) Post only glamour shots of themselves, some even resort to using photoshop. I got a shock when I saw Xuesha's real face in "S factor" for instance.
2) Showing off to the whole world what kind of lingerie they just purchased (I'm not complaining but normally you don't show off your undergarments to strangers do you?).
3) Elaborating with pictures the last fine dining meal they just enjoyed (Probably at the expense of some ah sia kia a.k.a. a person of prodigality)
4) Constant whining when partying is of utmost importance and worries seems to be the last item on their agendas.
There are of course other decent bloggers out there that do not fall under the above categories. I will add them in time to come, provided they pass my stringent criteria LOL. Ok just joking. I should be studying now, but I'm blogging instead. Obviously I can't concentrate on revisions for the final exam, and this has been the case for the past 3 days.
HELP! Hopefully the mugging spirit comes back to me soon.

And I thought I will definitely be on the 25th morning flight home. Business society called me up last night regarding the industry peer mentoring program and an interview was scheduled for the following Tuesday.
Darn.
I know it's a good thing to be selected for an interview, but I was all set to fly home this winter (half expecting my application to be rejected). Reunion with family and friends, getting a new hair cut and dye at Supercuts, tailoring a business suit, getting the ps3 (and finally touching my LCD tv which was bought on my behalf by my bro and cousin Amer), paying my respects to my grandpa on 15th Jul etc etc etc... Now I'm thrown back into a state of dilemma.
Decision decision decision.
On a happy note, a close friend of mine just got attached recently. That brings the tally to 2 this year. First was Daniel, and now it's Yongrui. Way to go bros. When is my turn ar?????????????

Finally, the dreaded projects are over. Spent lotsa effort and time on it, till the point that I'm quite behind schedule for the final's revisions. Hopefully can get a decent grade for both the projects!
Exam timetable is out too, and this time round I'm ending rather late. Urgh, gonna miss the Bangkok trip with mom and relatives. No cheap clothing, spicy tom yum and massages for me! Damn sad la. Anyone wants to go BKK in July? Haha. 台北 also can!! Anyway, this sem is the first sem that I do not have the strong urge to fly back. Keep wondering why is this so.
1) Last year of uni liao
2) Expensive air ticket
3) Used to sydney life (scary thought)
Anyway, it's 99.9% probability that I'm flying back. That 0.01% lies in the industry peer mentoring which is more than likely catered to aussie residents. Not too sure what my plans are. Definitely do not want to nua at home everyday. Anyone up for a short trip overseas let me know ya.

Darn the dust that's accumulating in my blog is as thick as 3 inches.

Lame. Anyway, been busy the past few weeks preparing for mid-semester tests and the normal catching up on school work. Bro and addie came over for hols, stayed for slightly over a week and bunked at our place. I was happy that they came, as it's the first time I have family visiting me over in Sydney. Sadly I couldn't entertain and bring them around as much as I was in the midst of the mid-sem tests mentioned earlier on. I hope they enjoyed themselves, though I felt I could be a better host. Also, thanks to a special friend who helped me brainstorm where I could actually bring my bro and addie around, although they didn't really cover many places haha.
Thought I could relax and chill a little after the crazy tests, but here I am slogging and losing sleep over 2 projects that are gonna be due real soon. After this 2 projects, it will be gearing up for the upcoming finals and playing catch up on work. Where can I find time to play? It's always the case in every single uni semesters, where I tell myself I have to really find time to put work aside and enjoy uni life. As in REALLY enjoying uni life.
Exams are around a month away, which means I'm also around a month away from true home sweet home, but there's a catch. Buddy Ivan and I had decided to apply for a mentoring program where students will be placed under a mentor who is working in the accounting or finance industry. I would think it's sort of like a mini-internship, as one would learn the ropes from the mentor for around six weeks (during the winter break, June-July). It would be great if we get the heads up, but that would also mean that we won't get to go back Singapore.
Dilemma isn't it. One side of us wish we can get the opportunity, one side of us wants to go back home. Who likes staying way from family anyway. Let fate decide ba. :)
