back in singapore

i am back in singapore. yesterday midnight, 20th june midnight.

itz a long holiday in china. everything's good. got fun part also got not so fun part. got very happy moments also got less happy or duller moments. itz 1+ mth... so u can't expect everyday also exciting and etc. but overall, itz good.

but coming back to reality, there are some sacrifices made for this holiday.

for one, high expenditure. so now, i am pretty broke.
for two, high phone bills. gotta pick up a lot of calls in china from singapore, from my ise department, nus and family.
for three, a lot of admins are postponed. i juz cleared all the letters accumulated throughout the mth.
for four, my job not really settled. being away for 1+ mth crippled the possibility of looking for jobs during the june holiday. right now, i am not offered by IBM yet, so i probably will have to join Tech first for the moment.

while itz a sad fact that certain sacrifices were made, but at least i know i made them for a cause. a cause which i am willing to make sacrifices for.

so now, after coming back, i have to get a few things done first. wait for ibm. if nothing happens, then work for tech first and then see what. at the mean time, itz probably a good idea to get myself signed up for jobstreet.com and etc liaoz. and get myself acquainted with new skills like vba, and maybe cfa.

at qingdao airport

not bad, qingdao airport provides free laptop for use.

anyway, i am in qingdao airport now, and will be leaving for shanghai and sichuan chengdu soon. shld be an interesting trip.

another update is, i am elected as the reserve valedictorian to speak if the main one never appears. both the main and the reserve ones are from ISE. haha.... not bad.

anyway, i missed to be the top student by a marginal CAP of 0.2. wasted... hahaha... too bad. have been too slack for sem 6 and 7, so lan lan. now regret that time never work hard a bit too late also. so, i am out of the league for valedictorian and lee kuan yew gold medal. but i had a tele-interview for PEB gold award.

PEB stands for Professional Engineer (or Engineering) Board. award is given to students with at least first class honours and excellent ECA. but i think that one is hard to get for me. whole engineering only give one award. there are so many other students who have better ECAs than I do. plus, i cocked up the tele-interview too. din speak too well. hahaha~~

but it would be great to get at least an award bah? haha... hope so.
