Things I want to do after exams

Reading
Read lots of books, especially finance books!
Currently I have 4 books which I have not read yet, they are:
1)The Great Gatsby
2)The Catcher in the Rye
3)The Intelligent Investor
4)More Money Than God

I'm want to use my upcoming summer holidays to become more knowledgable in finance and I will make full use of the HSSML. The real world is more than the classroom so my knowledge must expand beyond what professors teach!! Hope I have the stamina to read those books.

Spend more time with L
Think there are lots of things we want to do but I can't think of any at the moment lol. Looking forward to spending more time with L!

Catching up with friends
Meet up and do some fun activities with them! Haven't seen my secondary school clique for sometime :( And also some friends! We can go picnicking and other stuffs. Omg I can't think of any other stuffs other than picnicking. Maybe cycling and ...?

Prepare for KU
As you know I will be going on exchange to Korea for the next semester! Yay, can't wait. That's when the shopping sprees and crazy eating starts! So, during this period to Aug, I would have to find out more about air tickets, accommodation and mapping of modules! I need to revise my Korean too. Hope I can go over there and map Korean 3 back. I'm glad I have three other friends going with me too!!

华乐和中阮
Arrange Rolling in the Deep and improve my zr skills over the hols!!

And of cus, I have my internship to do, hope it would be fun. And I hope to lead a healthier lifestyle by going running and sleeping earlier!

I typed all these to motivate myself to study. Can't wait for holidays, meanwhile I will do my best! :)

p/s: now that I read what I typed I think I might not be able to attain everything. Just some would be okay too! Haha

A breather

I've been quite busy due to the two deadlines this week. I've just finished all my obligations so here I am!

For the MNO project due today, my group and I spent a total of 18 hours editing the report. On hindsight I feel like it's a waste of time and we edited the report together a total of 4 times! For me, I believe that the effort put in must justify the grades received. I don't really like to edit stuffs over and over again. I will just edit what I wrote maybe 2-3 times. Once when I first finished, the second and third time will be when I need to submit the essay.

Anyway, I finally got accepted for an internship. I thought I won't get one and was planning to sign up with recruit express to get some temp admin job over the summer hols. I'm really glad I got it. No need to send more cover letters!! Yesterday I was still very paranoid cus they said they will send me an email yesterday but I did not receive it until this evening. It will only be two months and it's somewhere far far away. Hope the travelling won't tire me out :/

L and I also celebrated our 1 year anniversary this week! We went to this italian restaurant near Outram, I don't know the exact name but it feels quite high class. Their toilet is damn clean and they have sofas in their toilet. Their portion quite small though. La Cantina is still the best!!


Bread! I like the fluffy tomato bread but I didn't like the other two. I call it breadcake cus it taste like bread and cake! It's awesome with balsamic vinaigrette.





Hungryzzz!!

Parma ham with rock melon!! I like their ham better cus it's not overly salty but the portion they gave is damn small. I think La Cantina gave us three times more rock melon compared to what they gave.

 L ordered ravioli without knowing what it is! And don't be deceived by his white face in this photo. It's cus of the flash!


Close up of the ravioli


My scallop risotto! Small portion again :( but I couldn't finish it lol. My hair looks hideous here. Should I buy red dye and DIY? Don't want to spend ridiculous $$ at salon only to see it fade after two weeks.


On Thursday, L surprised me with cupcakes after my project meeting! I was on my way home and I just exited the gantry at Serangoon MRT when I saw L waiting for me. I didn't even know he was there and I was truly surprised! It was 11.45pm and he travelled just to see me and take the bus home with me for like 20mins? I'm really touched T.T It made my day happier! (even though it was ending)


Thank you L!! You make me happy whenever I'm down or tired, thank you for being there for me:)
