Nosy people got no right to know my affairs. It's that simple.
If you are not close to me, you don't have the right to "laugh" at my inability to look for a job. I never regretted my decision interning with SSC, because I knew from my instincts that this job will open up to alot of opportunities. This is proven from my previous post. I really had the feeling during interview, that I will really enjoy this internship (in which i really did). The people here have been super nice and hospitable.
Sometimes I don't understand why people, not even close to me, not even smarter than me, but yet think that they are better than me just because they got a job offer no later than a month after they graduate. I really think getting a job early doesnt mean you are on top of the world, and securing a job much later doesnt mean u r lousy. I got a job offer in May, MIND you! But I rejected it on medical grounds, and I also thought over and would think that the job is not really my cup of tea. If you are my friend, during these times, you will be more supportive of my job search, and not tease me indirectly. I'm not an idiot. I can sense when somebody is trying to be sarcastic and poke fun of me. Don't think I don't know. I have very strong instincts oK??
Ok, this kind of ppl just doesn't deserve to my friend I guess.
ANYWAYZ,I really thought through about my career path. And I have come to a conclusion that I wanna do LOGISTICS!Yes..I think logistics really ignites my passion. the other option is to do accounting. but for accounting, I din really enjoy my internship as an accounts assistant a yr ago. I can be a potential accountant with my meticulous attitude. But I think there was a reason as to why I din want to take accountancy in NUS. And I think it may be the right choice after all :)
So Logistics it is...PRAY I will land with a good job..decent..good prospects..and its a logistics related job..
If you are my friend, pray for me, wish me well...:)

Opportunities Arised!
Hehe its a happy day yesterday and today. Partially cause it was the last meeting with the official logistics provider and YOG. Good thing that everything turned out well overall. We even have their t-shirt specifically printed for AYG :D
Of course, the happiest moment was when YOG approached me for my number haha hilarious. And a informal chit chat with the DHL director.
Also had a very nice group photo (hm, not sure how to obtain this photo though)at the end of the meeting.
And then today, I submitted my CV to one of my colleagues, and he feedback to me that very afternoon that I'm over-qualified for the other olympic council job. His friend was quite impressed with my cultural achievements. Honestly speaking, I don't really want to go around telling ppl of my past achievements back at home when I was growing up. Haha it was good receiving this sort of feedback, and it's a relieve at the same time.
I think that at this age, I can be very proud of myself, considering that I have finally obtained my degree from a prestigious university, accomplished alot back at home before coming to the Lion City, travelled around the globe before my exchange stint and during my exchange stint (having a very global mindset), going through pain (through surgery). To me, it has been a whirlwind 22.5 years of my life. And I'm going to live my life to my fullest. All this could not happen without my parents, sisters, relatives, piano teacher, friends back at home, and the one very important person, Lord God.
Although I haven't had time to commit my faith these years, He has been showering His blessings and watching me as I grow up. And i hope in time to come, I will gradually learn and understand Christianity and Jesus. Still stuck at Genesis 14 :P
Yay, hopefully all works well after I'm back!

Post Games-zhobo-4 day long weekend
Well my title pretty much says it all. Post games means nothing much to do, and with the 4 day long weekend, I thought I would have bore myself to tears at home haha. But that wasn't really the case.
Friday 17/7: I went to harbourfront Centre to buy my Bus Ticket. coz Firefly 10pm flight was sold out WTF...if not i wud have fly. Haven't tried flying for a long time SG-KL. Plus I wanted to see T3, eat and shop:P after that went over to Vivo to use my Godiva voucher:P I wanted to buy chocs instead coz I can keep and the drink is too rich for my tummy as I nid to conserve it later for my dessert(more on that later). anyhow chose two chocs at first, then the Godiva staff stared at me like some toot aunty (I chose to dress down that day. Anyhow wear and wus sweating hee). She told me that I have to purchase at least 10 bucks to enjoy the five dollar discount, two chocs ain't enough, suggesting me to choose another one. So in the end three chocs@50 grams for 12.50.minus the discount making it 7.50 (One piece for 2.50).Seriously, the chocs are freakin expensive!!if it wasn't for the discount,i would definitely not buy it. Can live with other cheap chocs..as long as it's choc:D
Later, I head down to Bugis,Liang Seah street to be exact coz during our steamboat gathering on wednesday, we actually passed by that street to have dessert @ Crystal Jade. However I went there to specifically try Ah Chew desserts, which we couldn't go there the other day due to the massive crowd.
Firstly I ordered the Mango Sago Pomelo, coz I knew that was what i wanted to order, although I want to order aloooot more other things:D(red bean, steamed milk something..mmmm)Ok admit, that mango sago is not really my favourite, coz its too creamy for my liking, or maybe I just din like the addition of pomelo. Should have done it without the pomelo, and 30 cents cheaper somore (though the Pomelo is freshly peeled and cut). Was about to leave, then asked my housemates whether they want any dessert. WT wanted his peanut and seasame paste, so i also packed barley beancurd with gingko nut (love this coz of the barley and gingko hahah)
Saturday 18/7: Nothing much. Spent the afternoon karaoke-ing by myself at home, until one of my housemates came home haha..Shy shy..she heard me singing from outside haha..This is how i Kill time. Then at night, took my housemates to Old Airport Road. CY had prawn mee, SY had korean food, I had *yawns* western food (donno why i keep choosing dumb food when im supposed to choose true blue hawker), then WT and Kelly went for a few rounds i think, Hainanese Curry Chicken Rice, then the Hougang famous Wantan mee, CY also treated us Charsiew and prawn Chee Cheong Fun, then Kelly with hainanese satay..was really fun bringing them to the hawker Centre.
Sunday 19/7: Hehe looking forward to this day. Coz am goin Tampines 1 to shop with Sze and dinner. Reached there slightly before 4. Felt very insecure without my mum accompanying me shop. Wait for Ah Sze to come, then basically teman her shop. She felt abit "guilty" coz she doesn't want to be the only one buying or trying clothes. So I had to join her haha. First up was Uniqlo, this very popular Japanese apparel shop. Seriously, dun think those clothing are my type haha. After like 2 hours of shopping, we finally settled down for dinner at F.I.S.H. Sorry, no pics. But it was really a good dinner. For starters, we had Peri Peri Squid (Which was pathetically small for 6.90). Our bruschetta with smoked salmon wus freaking late, by then our main course was here. I had the Barramundi with Cheesy Crust, while Sze had the Sambal Sting Ray. I jokingly told her that hers remind me of the grilled stingray sold at hawker centre. Luv the chilli to bits. The bruschetta came half way thru our mains, and it tasted strongly of garlic (Reminds me of my garlic bread) plus some pathetic pieces of salmon.
It was good overall, but really hate the pathetic appetizers portions. Mains was decent, but I donno issit because we had starters so it was just nice after downing our main.
Later on, we went shoe shopping at Schenkers. Girl has problem deciding between two green shoes hahaha.
After that, we head to Say Cheeze! shop for ..cheesecakes!! Ordered the six cheesecakes sampler haha. Coz we wanted to try the main ones. Pics for ur enjoyment
From left: Cheesecake, drunken Raisin, Raspberry White Choc, Marble?, Choc, Oreo
Cheesecake wus std, drunken raisin wus well...drunken!!After we left we kinda felt woozy lol, Raspberry White Choc wus good..Sze's favourite. I polished the Choc and most of the Marble as girl din like choc cheese :D Oreo shud be my fav, but somehow it tasted like the normal cheesecake. So nothing special haha
That place is interesting lor, they even sell green tea red bean cheesecake (which Sze was craving badly for. Still haven't got over ur Jap trip hor? actually i love green tea red bean too), Lychee Cheesecake, KEY LIME cheesecake (I luve lemon lime blabla whatever), and many more la..this is seriously the place for cheesecake lovers!
Ok by that time it was 9pm olredi. We had dinner about 6:15pm so it wus eat shopping eat haha. After that, we went straight to esprit hee. Found some tops that I like so in the end i bought two. Sze wus worse!She liked so many tops, she had a hard time choosing lol. I was quite hesitant buying this top. Yellow wus M and the white was L. I wanted to buy L yellow since yellow looked good on me, but sze said M fits me..but i wasn't very used to wearing this kind of top haha.Makes me fat!But i still bought it in the end. Donno whether I will wear it or not teehee.
Had ECC, so on top of the discounts we had (30% for one of my tops), we had 10 % discount on all items as member. Then Sze's top was a regular priced top, so I used the $10 voucher haha. Five tops for 140.78 :P The damage was big haha but only 50 bucks wus my share, the rest is the rich girl's one (Banking jobs are good $$) Then donno la as member, u get alot of crappy vouchers from Dome, Browhaus (hehe can go thread my brows). Wooh, by the time we reached the interchange..it wus like...10pm!! Can't believe i spent 6 hours in a mall. I guess eat shop eat really does kill time..sweet!
Yep, that sums up my weekend but not my Monday haha. So here am I wasting my morning blogging, checking mail and the latest news. Then later see if i wanna go out shopshop look look. Or shall I go back uni and watch choir concert, which I haven't done for a long time haha.
Tuesday will be exciting coz I can't wait to catch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince :D..Till then
toodles

AYG- Games time!
I last blogged before the games. Pre-games was definitely hectic according to my friend, but I was rather busy coordinating post games haha.
Surprisingly, games time was the most zho-bo time and was the time that we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest.
There were definitely lots of "perks" that came together with it:)
Almost everyday, we clocked in half day only coz by then, we wud have nothing to do. Then we would ponder which location should we go and watch the games. board the shuttle and watch the excitement!
We watched all of the sports, except shooting sailing and swimming as well as diving..all the boring ones..but would love to look around and see how's the competition venue like.
Learned quite abit on sports :athletics and football (verbally vulgar game hee). Get to experience the atmosphere wooh.
Haha the best part was, we get to go Swissotel to dine hee..think we were there for more than 5 times i'm sure..So got to eat good stuff haha..
K nothing much, let the pictures do the talking..Stay tune for post games
Football @ Jalan Besar Stadium
Athletics Prize-giving (Victory) Ceremony
Hard at work :P (Am in orange, supervisor in black)
Siloso Beach @Sentosa (beach Volleyball)
