Torned.
Night driving lesson was cool.

If only I could already drive.
I'd be cruising on expressways.
I'd wound down the window;
let the wind take those damn thoughts away,
& blow me back to where I long to be.

Woooo! What a great way to unwind. Provided I don't crash.
But for now, sleeping it off would probably be the best deal.

David Cook's voice way way awesome. Slow rock! His love songs are the best. =)

Alas another week ended... not explicitly since weekends haven't arrive yet, but basically the interview's over and i'm glad it is. Cool experience. But it's darn long. The whole thing lasted over 2 hours! Reached 4.55pm, left 7.35pm. We were ushered into this room where we sit in pairs and I was sitting beside this girl from SP who was 3 yrs older. Chatted a little. Eased some tension (if there were even any). And then they went on saying how there are 7000 applicants, where only 2000 get shortlisted, and of which 700 would be admitted. So we should be pretty honoured to be sitting right there. Okay.

Followed which was comprehension passage. Goodness...... Not expecting this, totally =S 20 minutes. It was about some 47 yr old dude ranting about facebook.. pretty humorous passage. I kept smiling to myself. lol!!!

Next the essay. 45mins. Pretty smooth. Lucky me, didn't have any writer's block or something, the juice kept coming so I just kept on writing. Fun. It's been a long time since I penned anything down literally. The topic was about whether is it better to assume the best and get disappointed, or assume the worse and be surprised. I like to tackle such questions... abstract. No real hard facts needed. Of course, I took the optimistic stand. A life of cowardice isn't going to be fulfilling, ever.

Had a short break. & they gave us 10 minutes to read this certain article "Brighter and Better". The article focused on how the general populace stereotype people working in Wall Street the "best and brightest". At least that was how I thought, and so I scribbled some stuffs pertaning to this. Right, ushered to a classroom. U-Shape tables. 2 Prof in front. Ever so familiar. Andddd, to my utmost 'horror', the discussion started off in an entire different direction. I was for a moment LOST. LOL. Or perhaps for many many moments. Damn. There were 8 of us, and I've gotta say at least 5 of them spoke real real real real well. So yeah. =) Wooo. I was really awed. Though I manage to throw out some comments, they weren't as insightful, so yea I guess I got defeated. It's time to learn. Communication skills!

So there goes. If I'm in, it goes to show SMU Business interview was just for show and doesn't really count much for. If I'm not, then I guess I'll just take it in my stride and head to NTU! 3 yrs course, fast and furious!! hahahaha =)

Back to today.My great CF sent me to SMU!!!!!!!! Met him at Tamp library first because he said he wanna borrow Tuesdays With Morrie. He's always like that, not saying anything. I really thought he just wanted me to accompany him get his book. =.= lol. I asked him where ya going then, and he said City hall lol. Okay... But it's really sweet of him. Yeah (: Probably that's why my heart ain't really pumping very hard when we reached the place. Thanks so much! He always reckon I don't appreciate it but I DO, really.

So after the interview, Kat, Eden and Zhu En walked over to SMU to find me since my interview overshot an hr. (I thought it'll end 630pm.) lol... And then we headed to Mos Burger, and we were wondering what we should do. And then, helium balloons popped up in our conversation.... I wonder how. We were talking about drinking, arhhhh, and then out of the blue Eden mentioned how helium could make your voice go higher. And I didn't believe, so he suggested we try it out, and so we did. Bought the balloon $2 each (crapppp!!!) and then we went to Bedok's skate park to experiement! It was helluva hilarious. Really darn. Laughed till my sides hurt. The chipmunk voices. I'll upload photos on facebook though. Kinda lazy to upload here. AND VIDEOS LOL. Took video of the each of us. HAHA. Eden heralded the experiment anyway and it was soooooooooooooo funny. ZE says he'll post the videos on YouTube.
HAHA! AND I RECALLED KAT'S CHIPMUNK RENDITION OF WO AI DE REN. HAHAHA HOLY! IT WAS SO SO SO SO SO NOT HER HAHA.

This week breezed real fast!! Time's passing too fast, and I can't seem to take everything in at one go. Perhaps it must be the good times I'm enjoying. hoho. But then, something's prickling me. It's just I'm unsure how to go about, well, going about it. And, I'm unsure how should I describe what I'm feeling now because all I'm sure of is that I'm unsure.. unsure.. unsure......

But all that I can comprehend of myself is that i'm definitely enjoying this uncertainty. lol, i think insanity has me engulfed. It sure does get a little frustrating at times. Don't know what I'm getting myself in... But still. haha! Optimism bites me ;)

Backtracking.......... Caught Detroit Metal City too on Tuesday night with Louis and his classmates. When I saw the trailer, I was like................... But the movie turned out great! Way funny. LOL. That L. Not what I expected. This was better than all the past past past movies I've watched this year so far. =) And I finally got the long awaited L4D file. Wooo, shooting zombies. I thought it was just plain shooting brainless zombies. Apparently not. Been playing with Nigel n EnChou. lol. Darn i keep shooting teammates. and I really have no idea what's going on. Shucks. Anyhow spam the machine gun. funny!

Anyway WOW. I started this post at 12am, and it's 3am. Just felt like updating what's going in my life before I start to miss them all. Anyhow I doubt anyone really read word for word. It's one wholeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee chunk of darn words. Heh. Well time for bed.

OH YEA SECONDHAND SERENADE's songs are GREAT TOO!
Stranger; Your Call.
oh yea you called. (:

Oh shucks. A wash of emotions plunged onto me all of a sudden, after reading something, somewhere. It's not like it's anything dreadful though, but i'm left at a loss. Complete loss, prima facie. I don't know what I should do to ease this unsettling stirrings inside me.. Letting nature take its own course kinda seem harder that I thought so. And I really can't comprehend anything else either. My engine kinda revving up too much, yet again. Its time to cool down. (Lifts the accerlerator pedal.)

Its so close, yet so far...

Received a call from SMU today telling me I got shortlisted for the Business interview. And its on coming Friday 5.15pm. Did some research online, and so the interview includes an ESSAY WRITING!?!?! >>> SO COOL, and a group discussion of 8 with 2 professors base on a random article. I've got some guts feeling its gonna be on the bad economy. hohohohoho. It's good game, or not? Man its gonna be so exciting. My heart's racing now! Bring it on!!!

Driving was great. Finally gotten use to the biting point of the car and everything. Just felt kind of irritated when my instructor kept asking me to keep slow, slow, slow. I barely even hit 50kmph! Hectic week coming to an end, just one more soka meeting tonight and I'm so gonna relax.

Argh, but the prospect of the SMU interview is wrecking me up!! Chill man, chill!!!

Yeah, half a week gone. Can't wait to get over this week. I'll be able to breathe a little easier then. Time passes fast really.. I'm into the second week of work now. Despite the mundane office life, its rather pleasant working at Schindler. The people are friendly and i get an assortment of tasks to do, though i think ive kinda got a knack to 'spoil' things. lol. but at least its a laugh! Hoho.

mind block. i suppose i need sleep. what with 5-6hrs these days. damn.

5:07:00 PM

yay so I've got my ipod Touch and my lappy! =)

So much for "we're down for a serious recession"... the crowd was amazingly huge yesterday at the it fair. We were stuck on the ground level for about 20mins. lol. And queues were long, due to dialing problem or whatever. haha. I gotta say we were lucky, getting everything done before the queue hit us.

Back to another week of boring office work!

In life, we just aren't capable to cope with too much things. Perhaps it's for the better if some things had to leave your life. Not that I'm saying I like it.

Wherever it is that destiny takes you to, you've just gotta be prepared for those damn new surprises!

Kinda a whirl of emotions right now - excitement, flutterings, confused. basking in happiness? I definitely should be actually. Everything seems to fall in place neatly, one by one... Good A's results like how I always envisaged it, Passed FTT, found an office job... and... things seem to be going on well. Apart from family woes that is.

Don't know why it sounds all gloomy though. Went to SMU's open house with mich yesterday and instead of making me more clearheaded, my heart's falteringgggg!! haha. Banking and Finance, thats what I said whenever anyone asked me where I wanna head towards. Wonder if it's just me saying that just for the sake of answering, or is it there I really wanted to go to. I'm in a headacheeeeeeeeeee! Challenge myself or just take the safest, boring route?

Woooo. I think I know now. I know now. I know now. (: what's life without challenges? learn to adapt, that'd make the journey worthwhile. haha. ok suddenly I feel a whole lot lighter. Damn this post took an hour. Took sporadic pauses to check up on websites. Alright.

Been returning late these days. Actually its just two days. Fri's FTT and then dinnered at Mac, Sat's movie Watchmen. Pretty interesting just don't really get the juice of it all. wahhaha.

My mum's complaining, and even my BRO too. argg =S I'm starting work tomorrow! Social life no more!! =( Wonder how'd the office environment be like. Hope all goes well.

flushing & flutterings (=

In a nutshell, went for bbq, went to senja's soka performance at CCK, visited kat's tkd prize ceremony at NTU, badminton, movied!, interview!, kbox!!!

In just a weekend, I've spent $11-$12 on transport fare. Goodness. That's for going to the West twice. geeee.

Went kat's tkd thingy on Sunday with stanley. Grats kat! u've got silver, bundled with a limp, and bruises on ur hands! Poor thing. haha. Had the intention to see her ______ , but the person didn't come, coincidentally. Thanks for not telling me earlier, kat law. hoho. So much for traveling 1.5 hours. Arggg!

We dinnered at New York New York after her prize ceremony. Couldn't finish the pizza which I shared with her. Drank half a glass of mocha. That made me so listless at night. Tossed on the bed for like 4 hours! And slept for barely 3 hours. Headed for badminton. Darn off-FORM!!!!! =(( lol. Totally no energy. I was almost a zombie the whole day. Lunched at Phin's place. Food was kinda bad. Arcade awhile, and then watched Marley&Me. Lol pretty draggy towards the middle, but the ending was wayyyyyyyy touching. I would tear if I was any other girl. Cuz I've never teared in movies before. And puppy labrador's so so cute!!

Today's hectic. Actually gonna meet kat 11.30am at recruit Xpress, for some starhub job. and then?! she overslept. THANKS........ -_- Lunched with my mum then. And then went back to the place, in the end didn't even went for that interview, cuz i've gotta rush off to another interview place for some admin job. And that went pretty well. And soon the agent called me back and said I got the job. So i'll be starting work on Monday, to much pleasure and dissatisfaction. lol. KBox was great! Been long since i actually went to an actual Kbox. Was always going

to those cheapo ones. Nearly outta voice. Haha, everyone sang dam nice.=)

Ahh so tuitioned at night. Pretty tired already. And I AM!

BYE!
