now is already the third week since exams are over, i think i have done at least one thing useful everyday.. just finished a 3-day work at Simei ITE where i helped out at the registration and certificate collection counters for their graduation ceremony at $6 an hour! work is really simple; for almost 5 hours there, we worked for only an hour or so and the rest of the time we were only waiting for students to come.. lunch is provided and even lunch break is paid! :p

tomorrow is cousin Oliver's 21st birthday party.. then i will need to find something meaningful to do on Sunday.. have sent out resumes for a couple of 1-month jobs, hopefully they will get back to me soon so i have something to do next month while waiting for Credit Suisse's reply and NTU and NUS application results in April.. but i'm prepared for the worst :X cant decide whether i should go for SMU..

will blog soon in a few days time before my dial-up connection gets cut off in March.. will sign up for broadband soon i guess, hopefully there is a good price plan then..

and hip hip hurray to Singapore for winning the bid to host Youth Olympics! :)

the bird is dead already, despite dad patiently looking after it.. it's gone just when im starting to get used to it and like it =( maybe it's already injured when dad brought it back cos its feathers didnt look quite right then..

anyway, exams and Credit Suisse interview are over! the papers were ok, but i don't think i did well for the interview as the two interviewers asked me a few questions i didn't expect at all.. oh well, it's over! will try for other jobs if i didn't get in this one =)

to budds, here are the deadlines to take note if you are applying:
NTU and NUS: 21 Feb
SMU: 8 Apr

i will still apply for all though chances of being accepted are not high, no harm trying =)

and hurray, chinese new year is TOMORROW!

went Chinatown with dad and mum last Friday, so happy to see streets after streets of new year goodies, and also a handful of traditional confectionaries known for their long history of yummy Chinese pastries! 菠萝包, 老婆饼,豆沙饼, 酥皮蛋挞 and more, yum yum! and i saw wei there too!

went to market early at 7am with mum yesterday, it was so crowded but the new year atmosphere was all that mattered!

除夕 and 初一 dinner will be at grandma's place as usual, and im eagerly looking forward to watching Jay Chou's 功夫灌篮 with cousin tomorrow morning and to go grandpa's place after that!

whoohoo~ life is great! now i can sleep and wake up anytime i want, and watch dvd non-stop.. just finished a korean drama 幻想情侣


it's really nice! romantic and funny at the same time, unlike typical korean drama where there will be someone who is sickly and dying..

and i can read a book whenever i want to.. have been waiting for Stephenie Meyer's New Moon for so long already but it's always On Loan.. so i borrowed this book by Anne Bishop yesterday, it's called Sebastian.. hope im able to finish it by the due date, haha..

鼠年快乐 everyone! HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
