over the months..
Its been aging since I last updated this blog of mine. I hadn't even on my netbook for a few months.
Ever since work has started, whenever I return home, I will be feeling really tired. All I can do is watch an hour of TV then sleep. Sleep has been so crucial ever since then.
Currently, I am working in Standard Chartered Bank. And its going to be 1.5 Months over there. I like the environment and culture over there but... there are lots of OT to do. : ( thats the cons. Well, all I need is to gain experience for the time being. Weekends are busy for me as well. I am still taking tuition assignments on weekends so that I can earn more money plus teaching is fun too. Looks like the extra money is motivating me. I am currently in a dilemma in taking up a accounting tuition assignment. Looks like my schedule are pack and I do not have much time for leisure actually except the dinner time. Dear complains that I will have lesser time for him. Yes, I do agree with him. But, well... since I do not have any family commitments and I am still young, i wouldnt mind sacrificing all these time in return for money. After October when all exams have ended, I will have more time for myself&him and I am intending to go for trips.
Last November, Dear and I tried balloting for a flat. And we got it along the waterway.. Everything went well. We even got the Additional Housing Grant from the government. We are signing our Agreement of Lease on 1st April;) Well, everyone has to start somewhere. At least a small house for a start in 3-4 years time. Thinking of the prices of the house, I am always thinking of how to finish paying the hefty amount in 10 years time before moving to a better and bigger house. I need to do many financial plannings ahead and work really hard for a better future.
At least, I do have a goal to look forward to:) All I need is to work doubly hard for my future..

angry angry angry
dad went for his heart operation. fortunately, everything went well. Doctor and nurses said he is recovering well. i still remembered in my primary school years, my grandmother did the same operation too. And she is still living healthily up to now except with some minor sickness like high blood pressure etc. I would also hope that he will stay healthily and pay more attention to his diet after this major operation.
One piece of sad news came from my sister. My mum told her that she is considering of selling the car away. i felt sad when i heard that too. the car is with us for a year plus and mum broke the news to her, said she don't want to pay for it anymore. i guess its probably due to the Condo she bought which needs high commitment. arggh. but i can't do anything to help right now.. Usually in the weekends, the car will only be drove by my sister. in normal days, its that idiot who would be driving. arrrgh. just don't get why my mum doesnt split the cost with him !!!! anyway, i dont get along with him well..pisses me when i see him. rahhhh!!!!! and when something wrong with the car, he would come asking my sister to split the cost with him. WTH !!!! earning so much yet so stingy. whats wrong with this men now a days...
argggghhh. just feel like venting my anger! feeling so angry!!!!

EXCITED..
its been a few months since i last updated this blog of mine. At one point of time, i felt so sick of updating consistently. Perharps its dued to my school holidays. During my holidays, i would normally be out and hardly, will i be on my desk.
One week ago, my friends and I went to the NATAS fair. FINALLY, we had decided on our graduation trip. And paid for the deposit.
i m feeling so excited. Initially, we were planning to go to the USA. but sadly, as we went around asking the prices, the range was around $3300+. it was way too much off our budget. The original price which we sourced a few months ago, was around the range of $2,500.
In the end, we decided on Korea and HongKong. 8 days Korea and 3 days HK. i hadnt been to these two places before. I am feeling so excited and looking forward to it. :)

Holidays !!!
Its been a long while since i last updated. Exams are over two weeks ago. my long awaited holidays are right here. The very next day after my last paper, i went to Phuket. The last entry i mentioned my trip to Bali, however, due to our budget constraints we decided to change the location.
I had never been to Phuket. it was my first time there and most importantly, i enjoyed the trip with my friends. Sometimes, its still the company (who you are going with) matters alot. They really make a difference in it. Finally, i managed to experience snorkeling and rafting. It was my virgin try yet it makes me so addicted. i wouldn't mind playing it again. I am loving nature and seas sports vacation : )
For the past two weeks had been a relaxing day for me. I slept as late as i want to and woke up at anytime i want except for days when i have to teach tuition. Dear is also back from training at Thailand ! i love the gifts he bought me. Its still the thoughts that count.
Soon, i must face the reality. i must start work soon looking at my bank balances everyday. it is so worrysome.

Looking forward..
I was messaging one of my girlfriends. Then she popped out the question, "hey are you still keen in going to Bali?" The moment she asked me i felt so happy. I wanted to travel overseas badly but it was always a few things that restrict me. Firstly, its my budget. Secondly, the companion ( who i am travelling with matters alot). Lastly, we have to come an consensus date.
Then i decided to ask 2 others of my friends. The very next day, angel who is an air stewardess manage to get her leave. Everything was confirmed within one working day. I was fortunate enough too, because my friends were able to accomodate to my days. I am only left with four days of leisure right after my exams in May and then i will have to start my internship.
Now we are all busy checking up for any upcoming deals. This really motivates me! I am looking forward to May: ) I will also be travelling at the end of the year too. My university friends and i are planning our graduation trip. We are still brainstorming of the different places we can go taking into account the weather in those countries. I've suggested Australia while another of my friend suggested Sweden. Seriously, i just can't wait for it to come. : )) Well, my pocket gonna burn a big hole. I guess the last resort is lending some money from my mum to fund for my trip. I am not going to miss out all these fun before i embark on my career journey:D

another day with random thoughts
Before heading for my jog, i decided to blog while waiting for the food in my stomach to digest. this morning met my father and he drove sis and i off to work and school respectively. Before he dropped us, he would bring us for yummy breakfast. Its cheap but the food are nice. Most of the food stall he brought us to are usually famous delicacies in Singapore. Supposedly i do not have school for the whole week but today i had to attend a few project meetings thus i had to make my way there. As i was about to leave, dad called me. thank goodness, he called at the right time. And asked if i were still in school. he had bought some food for sisters and I to share. At the same time, i can save time on travelling home.
After teaching for close to one month plus, i realised teachers play a major role in students' life. For now, i have always been looking forward in teaching my student. i would go over to his place twice a week. But seeing him learn and grasping new knowledge brighten up my day. at the same time, i was lucky to get a well-behave kid than a playful one. Parents also play a major part in their child's education. His parents had enrolled him into a few enrichment courses which aids in my teaching. Sometimes when i look at how my student is so busy attending classes, i would start to ponder: Imagine in the future when i have children, i have to enrol them into various classes so as to be able to keep up with others. Then i would think of the costs of raising up a child. I had a conclusion, raising up a child requires a really huge sum of money. Then this would link to marriage..and then the questions go round and round, linking backwards.
OH my. the cost of living are really expensive in Singapore esp once you are on your own. (with your own house and children) For now, i shall enjoy being taken care by my mother. At least, i do not have worry about paying PUB bills, Power bills and so many other things. : ) i shall be more appreciative that i have a roof to stay in and my mum providing for me.

Jogging
After lesson, i headed home straight to complete my marketing tutorial homework. Amidst doing my tutorial, i feel sleepy. At the same time, looking out of the window i can see the playground and park. The kids were playing happily and joggers were jogging hard. I decided to change into my running attire and went jogging. Usually i would jog at the road near my house for in case i am thirsty or tummy ache, it would be convenient for me to go home. But this time, i was a little daring and decided to explore the Punggol Reservoir which is relatively further from my house. Though it wasnt my first time there, i thought of having a closer look at the reservoir myself. Sadly, the entrance to the park was close. But i went walking around and slowly, i was falling in love with the tranquility and ambience over there. Three of the restaurants have opened. I would like to try two of the restaurants over there, one is frenzie and the other, the zi char restaurant. Frenzie pub or cafe is cater mainly for youngster and adults. All i can think of is asking dear along to have dinner over there (he will pay for my share too):P. The zi char restaurant makes me think of my mum!! haha, i am going to suggest a dinner one day over there with my mum and sisters (bcos mum would be paying).
I guess that place would be my favourite hideout once the construction are completed. : )
Next week would be my reccess week. Following that week, i have got lots of mid term tests. Feeling quite pressurised but i am telling myself to calm down and do my best. On the same week, projects are also due. arrggh. This time i have to even sacrifice my Saturday. Saturday will be my project day. I cant wait for this semester to end..
