Just realised the look and feel of the 'inside' of blogger is slightly different. its a nice change.

This week is pretty fruitful for me! I managed to meet up with my nj classmates, uni orientation mates and a friend i meet about once a month. And I don't have to over work and even get to shop at vivo after knocking off.

Being able to meet my jc classmates makes me happy. Its like seeing how everyone has changed yet I still find them so familiar. Its not that I have something to say to everyone, somehow when it comes to old friends, i feel contented just seeing them. And its a nice nice feeling that QL actually stop-over in SG to visit us. She makes me feel like i must visit her at her country one day! I really do want to go over, either on work trip one day, or just there with friends. Was it one or two years ago, I almost flew there if not for a school project. I had planned to eat ice cream in Shanghai with a gf. haha in any case, if i go over Shanghai, I hope to go when the weather is cold so I can eat ice cream with whoever is there with me!

Seeing my jc classmates makes me feel like going back to school. I can still see the whole row of campers sitting at the back of the classroom, the girls sitting in front with a several other guy smarties, the teacher talking endlessly to the class and me finding it hard to concentrate while doodling away on my notes.

I miss sitting at the spectator stand overlooking our school track, miss sneaking out of school to avoid school events, miss drinking morning coffee at the canteen while chatting away with my sc friends, miss our pe lessons that are not meant for napfa preparation, miss our econs lessons, miss studying in school library, oh yes, i miss our school dessert - red tea jelly with logan + milk!

Come to think of it, my univerisity life is pretty cool too. I prefer our old campus at bukit timah. My better memories are those at the old campus, like sitting at the Zhong Yuan cafe outside our school library, playing pool in the middle of the night at student lounge, group lunches at the food haven, case laws and analogies at the law classes, project presentations, video making, interviews... hmm think i did so much more in the old campus than the new. Friends really make up a huge part of school life.

I heard from my friends that our financial accounting prof is using our group's project as teaching material in class. wow! we're so flattered! and i still remember its a financial projection for our cafe which we called 'muggers paradise'. guess it was after the project that i decided its difficult for a cafe to earn enough money to cover rental and make a decent profit. hhaa

Actually i miss doing things together with my uni friends. It was fun working on project with them, brain storming, listening and improvising on one another's ideas, ploughing through research material, making sense and jokes out of our finance projections, deciding how best to present, our rehearsal, the eventual presentation, the jubilantion at the end of the project, group lunch to celebrate our hardwork, busy mugging for exam and finally, our holiday!

how nice!

When i was stuck in school, i hardly thought of my life then as such wonderful memories. Now that i look back, i feel so blissed that i have so many great people in my life.

probably while i complain about my current work life, many years down the road i may start missing my current life and think of it as a piece of wonderful memory and no matter how evil some people are to me now, in a few years, they will probably be one of those people who have made a meaningful impact on my life.


Anyway, i was just surfing the forums and came across this Get-to-know-yourself Quizbox. won't say its accurate or what. I tweaked my answers a few times after the first try and ended up, i still think my first response is slightly more relevant to my current life.

Get to know yourself better

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
