Please bear with me, am trying to get up to speed with all that back log of posts… sorry!
I had an awesome birthday, smashingly good celebrations, and its a dream that came true last night. 
Will need to get up to speed with everything now!
Ciao!

Every year, this special day, never fails to warm my heart, for it was this day that I came crying into this world. Life’s journey thus far has been sweet, sour, salty and bitter. (I don’t know how the salty part can fit in, just thought it flows) As I pause everything in its track, I take the time to savor and reflect.
I wouldn’t say Life is a bed of roses. It’s constantly up and down, coloring my life and the people around me for the past 22 years.
I feel blessed and thankful for such a journey, and it hasn’t stopped, it simply continues. As I turn 23, a new chapter in life awaits.
Happy Birthday to Me.

Guess where I shot the photo. No prizes for the correct guess though.

Sometimes I don’t get it why I have to be swamped with so much work that my entire social life seem on the edge of crumbling? Ok, not to such an extent, but one can already feel the impact of it happening. Late classes, screwed up timetable, and not a moment I can totally take my breath and rest.
Things happen too fast too furious, coming to me like a shock to my system. I can probably tell you why. My back hurts daily, and my quality of sleep can get compromised. My shoulders are very stiff, and one whack would probably send me howling in pain. Its that bad.
Readings, readings and more readings. Not to mention lectures, tutorials, lab on top of FYP. Argh.
Final Year ‘Party’ has just begun. or rather Final Year Punishment.

Mind is a whirl right now at the moment. Stoning in my lab. Well, might as well blog a bit for now.
A lot of thoughts have ran through my mind, and some of them are well, life changing so to speak. It might sound vague to some of you, but I´ve intended to be this vague on my personal matters on my blog, for the moment. Usually quite straightforward, but I guess I am having second thoughts writing it in the open. Not your fault, but is probably mine as a writer.
Not to worry, I will still write my personal thoughts and what not here… save for some matters and issues. Thanks for understanding.
Anyway, mid-week Wednesday and I can´t help but start getting excited for Friday. 
LOL! By now most would have known what will happen on Friday.
I would like to thank my family for the lovely birthday celebrations they held for me on last Sunday. Totally appreciated it. A simple dinner and a lovely oh so sinful chocolate fudge cake, and not to mention, a lot of fun and laughter. Thank you.
Work´s piling, nothing new. Think I am so gonna be screwed.

Me ish having a problem.
Rain makes me feel damn gloomy and depressed. Yup, the cold weather makes me feel so sluggish and so blue. 
Probably psychological, but I just can´t help it.

Sometimes I just wish that things could have turned out better instead of for the worse. However, as much as one can wish for, there are issues or matters that can never be within the reach of our control. Things can spiral out of control really quickly in that sense.
I´ve experienced first hand what is it to be like making your choice and to pay the price for doing so. Its a matter of one´s choices and how expensive that price can be. Whichever the price is, be it emotions, actions, it arises from just one word, choice.
You see, when faced with a situation or a circumstance, there are generally choices to be made, and that one thing leads to another. To be frank, I too can be really lost at what choice to make. Sometimes it tortures me so. In the end, the choice I made tend to have some undesirable price that I have to pay.
Bottomline? I´ve learnt a very important lesson of living life. Make my choices carefully.

Getting ready for a networking session has never been so tough, especially if it might impact on your first job after graduation.
I manage to register successfully for the Global Banks Networking Session, that is going to be held at Nanyang Auditorium on 19th August. Although the downside is I have to wear formal attire, but I ain’t complaining because I get to talk and mingle with people from the banking sector.
For a girl like me with no know how of the business and investment sector, I figured that I may be in for a rough ride. But for all I know, perhaps I might find a silver lining in there.
Whatever it is, I’ve prepared my CV and read up on some information. I hope to adopt an open mindset at the event itself.

Pretty much pleased I manage to get a locker in school, and this means no more heavy bag days LOL! Well, my sister and I can use it to store some of our stuff. The price of hiring the locker is quite reasonable, at $10.70. Think of it as a small space to store your stuff.
I can’t wait to use it soon!
Not a very big locker, but good enough to put some stuff there, and access it as and when possible. Probably this is my first and last time hiring the locker… haha…
Yup, its located at a place I can access it readily and quite convenient.

Hmm, I’ve been missing out on the post on Saturday. Me bad, but hey, I need to study
Was at Asian Civilization Museum for Social Media Breakfast 3, and had a nice tour around the museum too. Pictures and writeups at a later date.
Reached home and made some accessories again, after that studied for my modules.

PS: My family is celebrating my birthday early for me today! *happy*
