Let's see.. it's been some time since I came back. People have also gone back after their short-lived vacation. Soon, it'll be my turn to bid farewell to the earthlings that rule Singapore once again. Come to think of it, 4 months in D.U passed pretty quickly but the 3 months here is passing even more quickly. Before you know it, we'll all be graduating from Uni and ready (or not) to conquer a whole new obstacle. But we'll be somewhat in limbo from the time we graduate to finding a job. (people who manage to find a job even before they graduate are just plain lucky. pui! ya.. I'm a sour puss okay?)
I somehow suspect this will happen even before we throw those party hats up into the sky, posing in front of the camera with a phony grin and holding that stupid certificate that almost everyone has. Of course Daddy and Mommy will breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their youngest daughter has finally completed varsity (with Honours or not, whatever!).
Btw, my dad hates the taking of pictures with your cert unrolled. I went to my sister's convocation in Melbourne back in 2000 and my dad gave her a good lashing when she did that. His reason; Don't be so haolian. Everyone is a graduate nowadays. Besides, you only completed a Bachelor's degree. I never quite understood his stance on this though. Oh.. I just remembered UWA doesn't provide party hats unless you're doing a postgrad degree. Bummer!
Back to my point, I think people will begin to feel this whole new emptiness during their last semester. It's rather sian if you think of it. Bye bye to 4 months of holiday annually and say hello to 14 days per year, 21 if you're lucky. Prepare to get politically stabbed in the back, get your income and get your income taxed. And maybe it's a good time to learn about stocks and shares.
Don't you think studying is a better option? At least you're only responsible for yourself. Be selfish while you can.

Had dinner at Brazil yesterday with Kenny, Sam and Kow. I tried chickens' heart and felt like I was gonna throw up. Maybe it was psychologically induced. It was chewy like gum and tiny. Tasted not bad initially until I remembered I was eating the innards of a bird. But overall, it was a good experience. Headed across the road to Venezia where we met Queen Kong.
This holiday wasn't well spent. I haven't been going out much but I've been spending quite alot. It's not like I have a stable income flowing into my bank account. POSB and Westpac. Driving's burning a hole in my pocket. Shopping isn't the culprit till I next go back. My wardrobe needs a major revamp. Realised Iris and I wear like shit when we go to school. Cos it's Summer, I need more presentable clothes. It's so embarrassing when the 7 of us head to some fine dining restaurant in Northbridge and then I'm always wearing the same shit I wear to school. When Winter comes, I'm determined not to freeze to death in my thin as bedsheets Roxy jacket. Kenny got me a spankin new jacket! x)
SO.. I'll be ever ready to embrace a whole new school term with:


ditto!

timetable, assets=liabilities+owner's equity(kenny's detailed explanation in week2), tute questions and test dates

textbooks, stationary and whatnot

doing my own laundry. to hell with clothes that cannot be tumbled dry.

this is how Singaporeans are stereotyped as the people who have noodle parties in the pantry every night.

creaky bed and lumpy comfortor.

ah... Woolworths or what the Melbournians call Priceline? Good stuff. Better than NTUC.

Sad to say my friendly neighbour, Laura, who kept a kitty in her room is moving out. x(
