bday treat at ps...

just got back from an outing, or rather dinner, with yoke, jun yuan and yi ming... haha, jun yuan's bday is coming... so yoke decides to treat him... he, didn't eat anything yoke bought... so bad~! haha.... think yoke really wants to treat him, but he just refuses... think he doesn't want her to spend $ unnecessarily... haha, yoke wants to treat, should let her~! anyway, it was a great evening... mostly, spurred on by yuan's disdain for the army... yi ming seems resigned, but jun yuan kept complaining, keeping yoke and i laughing all the time.... we made a date to watch madame butterfly, an italian opera.... hopefully, can watch~! need some intellectual stimulant~!

almost wanted to scold my sec 2 kid... was teaching him simultaneous equations... i was damn tired, woke up early... then i think he was in a sianz mode too.... kept saying he doesn't understand.... wth... just dun want to put on effort... irritating~! i feel like telling him... why don't understand??!! u r just lazy... sianz...

now, i'm calm and happy in relationship matters... honestly, yoke, i've come to terms with my feelings more than ever.... he will be a good fren, that's all....


haha.... cya soon, yokey~!

hiaz, i'm still in the dilemna of which uni to go?? hmm.... i want to go NUS, but their accountancy, is like graduating a BBA with a major in accountancy instead of a Bachelor in Accountancy... hiaz.... sianz... i've been listening to my uncle, like specialisation is much better.... i want them to hear me??!! i'm fine with either business or accountany, don't really have a preference, but i really want to go NUS... sianz... anyone wants to help me?

working life....

hey.... to yanrong: haha, i wish that life is like a korean drama, at least u are sure that someone loves/likes u.... haha, that's fantasy... anyway, it's just some lamenting lar... u know, something like unrequited love? hee... not so serious, but... haha....

hiaz... working life is a motivation when u feel like earning money... it's super tiring because i have less time for myself... aargh~! it's like i have so many things to do... hmm, maybe i'm slacking too much?? whateva lar.... but, now, really, my mind is blank... in addition, haven't apply for uni yet~! sianz...

applications

been thinking a lot abt application and stuff.... read alota entries abt application and stuff... i guess, most of us are afraid of making the wrong choices now and end up regretting later.... well, my final decision is to go to SMU... hmm.... i quite scared of going alone as i have not find someone who is going there, who has confirmed already... but then, i have weighed out all 3 unis... presteige is important, well, to some, or maybe, to most, but now, in this era, in my opinion, people come from everywhere.... for example, the accountant, well, one of them from mediacorp did her degree in a private sch, look where she is, in a corporate industry, doing accountancy work for mediacorp... so, that is not one of my concerns... i want to graduate with a first class honours, and i'm gonna work real hard.... well, the As, well, i worked hard, but not hard enough, and when one graduates with a first class honours, one does not have to find a job, the job will be right in one's face... so, that is more important... in addition, smu prides on being different, and the market study showed that 100% of smu's graduates got jobs... so, that is not a problem to me... being different may be the now selling point?? hmm, acutually, different people look for different reasons on where to study... i've been quite apprehensive in going to the arts and social science fac, because, like one of my classmates say, u'll meet the same ppl...

ok, that's not a bad thing... but, some people, i just don't want to see... i guess, one must feel a certain attachment on positive attitude to the sch u r going to, otherwise, u'll not feel happy wherever u r... ok, back to the application online thingy... don't know if anyone tried to apply? hmm, it's damn tedious... they want us to send a cheque to them with backing documents... wth is backing documents? so sianz... and smu requires u to write abt ur achievements, contributions and experience according to 3 activities... so, sianz... write a mini essay.... i've better apply soon...


going to KL next week to SHOP SHOP SHOP till i DROP~! haha, luckily my sis desperately wants to go and thus organised this trip... i'm looking forward to it....

going to smu's open hse this sat... hmm, one reason that i'm don't feel like going is that, well, some companion ship stuff... hopefully, can persuade yoke to come with me... haha... anyway, so long~! must go and write the mini essay.... -______- haha...

love.... yeah, right....

i met u at a place of stones. felt something for u 7 months later. similar activities did nothing to allay those feelings. an incident of laughs made me distrust u. i gave up. at first. but then, i gave u hints. u didn't take it. i was demoralised. no point in trying so hard. u are unsure and scared. i am too. should i try. i honestly don't know. hiaz.

anyway, working at sph now... it's quite cool.... high pay and good environment... hopefully, it will last.... yeah, that's all~!

work.

ann started work at sph mediaworks today. she got this $10 an hour job by a stroke of luck. her dear dad was working at the legal department as a part-time worker when they needed more people to help the accounts department. thus, she was enrolled in to work there. luckily, they were fine with flexibility, enabling ann to persue her other committments with an easy mind. filled with joy, ann anticipated work today with an eager attitude.

on arrival at the office, she was struck by the tight security surrounding the glass building. she was mightily impressed by it and wants to work somewhere like that in future. once the proper introductions were done, she was set to work. her jop scope requires her to check the co-production invoices that the tv channels have been up to during the 4 years. it was a tedious and meticulous morning. she has to search through the thick stacks of files to look for the co-production invoices to tag. suddenly, she was overwhelmed with a rush of horror. is that what an account does? answering missing invoices and finding out where the missing money went? nevertheless, she was unduanted. she believes that an accountant can advise the company on how to spend their profits to a maximum reap. she has an optimistic faith.

soon, it was time for lunch at 1 pm. on the way to the cafeteria, ann saw a familiar figure working towards her. it was her first three month gp teacher at hwa chong. she was stunned. she called out, "ms liaw?" ms liaw replied, "siim ann!?" secretly, siim ann was very pleased with herself. ms liaw remembered her name despite only teaching her for abt 3 months. it meant that ann must have left a deep impression in ms liaw's mind. that is what ann thinks, and she hopes it is what ms liaw thinks too. after lunch with dear dad, they went to the garden and took many photos of
flowers with ann's phone. unknown to most, ann is a flower-fanatic. she is trying to hint to future soul-mates. nevertheless, it was a great after-lunch activity.

after that, they went back to continuing the checking of the thick files. ann was real bored. after this job, she was contemplating whether to study accountancy or not. she has decided to stick with it, because she believes she can make a difference. an empty dream? it is not impossible.

haha, tried to write in proper english, it's a bid to try to improve after such disastrous results in gp...

headache

i guess, everyone is busy, trying to decide what course to study... i'm no exception.... have come to a decision le... haha... been thinking abt it for a long time....

3 unis in spore, all with their attributes.... difficult choice to make?? hmm, i have this dream of working in the corporate industry... it's just a matter of how to enter it... intially, i wanted to do law, corporate law to be specific... but, gp... yeah, so, have to cancel it.... then, i thought that political science involves some
analyst work.... well, i was wrong... apparently, the best i can hope for is a teaching career or working in the foreign affairs ministry.... in addition, what i can graduate from nus, is a bachelor of arts, which is a general degree... one can argue that interest plays an important aspect.... i agree, political science is what i've always thought of doing, but being practical, i don't see how it's going to bring me into the corporate world, if i can... i don't fancy working in the civil service... therefore, i'm gonna stick to accountancy....

i have chosen SMU.... why?? well, i heard that acc in ntu is boring... in addition, after seeking advice from my uncle, what he says make sense... firstly, they will do up a portfolio for u when u graduate... secondly, i read this article from the newpaper, doing a comparison abt 3 graduates from the different unis.... it's easy to spot an smu graduate, from appearance and the confidence they have... that's what i want to have.... well, that's my main 2 reasons.... there are other factors, like how i don't like ntu and stuff like that.... hopefully, can find ppl to join me there!!!

hiaz, that's like a great big relief!!! anyway, i wanna complain abt some stuff... well, i'm tutoring my cousins in pri 4, 2 of them to be exact... i have this gal cousin who hates homework, doesn't do properly, doesn't hand in on time... my mom says, they are relatives, would not die from helping them more often... the thing is, i've tried all means and methods to help her.... but the thing is, she's not reprociating.... i hate it, when i have put in my own effort, i expect the same in return.... what the heck, if not for my aunty, i will not TEACH HER AT ALL... in addition, i teach her piano too... her exams are next week, but she doesn't want to do work... my fault?? she's a bitch... it's bad to say such stuff, but what the heck? she's a 10 year old.... what does she wanna do?? play?? disgusting... wonder how much more i can undertake... there's a limit to my tolerance.... hiaz....


that's all... my dad sorta found me a job which pays $10 per hr... shall go find out, then ask yoke to join me, that us if she wants!

closer

well, went out for almost the whole day.... 9 plus to 8.... haha, must be distracted mah... sianz...

met yoke in the morning to finalise the stuff we are gonna give the teachers... hiaz... it was fun, hanging out with yoke at orchard library, chatting abt stuff!

then, met hui qi where we went to the career fare at suntec city... hwee min and wei xin were selling the career guide there, so went to support them... it was a nice day... then, hui qi and i went to watch closer... well, it reflected very well abt society, how appearances can be deceptive... in addition, i like the part where the main characters don't even know whether they love one another or not... it's subtle, the directing, getting u to think abt the characters and how the plot goes... hiaz, it was a nice distraction~!!!


good luck to all out there!
