Many a time, when given a second chance we do better.

now after one whole long day, come to think of it i'm actually glad i made the decision to join the kpmg firm visit (though i could have spent time on any of the 3 assignments or even start studying FA uugh!). not only i feel more convinced that my choice to go for kpmg isn't that bad a decision, a mini blue kpmg highlighter is joining my fat pencil case hoho. and to be honest, i was really shocked by the distance between my house and the building. first time after so long i feel superb to be thaaat close to my destination, even closer than going to Bu4. i practically just hopped into the car in slippers and as soon as i was done buckling up the straps on my heels, i was there already! and just in time right behind the orange school bus so i could join in the rest without being obvious. thinking of how i can easily get to the workplace without all the crazy traffic jams, i feel quite happy already. :)


and they served the best refreshments ever, so many varieties. :P people there were friendly, humble, it was comfortable that they approached us before we had to crack our heads to initiate a conversation with any of them. and when i thanked Ken for being the host, his reply was "you're welcomed, we've been doing this for more than 12 times in a month already..." but they totally didn't make us feel as if we were the 12th group to visit them.

well yeah so i guess that pretty much puts an end to one of my dilemmas. the rest are yet to be discovered ;)

it was such a special thing to be feeling nervous yet comfortable at the same time. nervous because it's a mini impromptu public speaking, comfortable because even when my mind went blank and tongue twisted, they were still showing that very encouraging smile like "come on we know you can do it", and when the worse got the better of me i was given this second chance with a fresh topic. those constructive comments and feedbacks, got to work on them! haha and i finally learned that ageing population can be such a threat to a country, it affects the economic growth, labour markets, taxation, the transfer of property, health, family composition, housing and even migration.

everything was good until something happened, glad it got better towards the end of the day! and i'm so proud of you :) need to go find that video of you cheering on your birthday night to celebrate.

LUMS, what are you?

things don't always happen the way we want them to, but that doesn't mean it's the end.

Selflessness

Checklist:

1. FA mid-term test (27th May) 

2. Company law assignment (3rd June)

3. Business strategy assignment (15th June - my sister's birthdayyy!:D)

4. Research paper (23rd June)

research paper itself is already taking our breaths away.. we prolly need oxygen tanks to survive through the semester -_- never ending changes here and there. the only thing i find comforting in research methods is that there will be NO exam! other than that i do hope i can still remember my SPSS. 

apart from assignments, i finally met my cousin's baby the other day after seeing so many of his cute pictures on Fb. even cuter in real life lah omg cuteness overdose. isn't he just adorableeeee? :D feel like poking the cheeks eeeee. can't wait till my cousin comes and visit us again the next time! and this picture's when my cousin's wife attempted to make him a lil more girly.

haha omg i still can't get over it, too cute x)


decisions decisions decisions. i don't remember making so many decisions in my life before.

little big decisions

aaawh man :( how could i forget such an important date!:( today during the meeting when someone mentioned "and yes the Nationals will fall on the 24th to 26th July", my heart really sank a whole lot, seriously. mehhh the dates just have to clash so perfectly, coincidence or what? :(

honestly, i've been dreaming to go for the Nationals ever since the day i bid goodbye to everyone at the Regional Training. if you ask me, yes i do miss some of them, especially some whom i vividly remember the face and what we did together, just not the name so i can't possibly search for them on Facebook, so i was really hoping to like bump into them again at the Nationals, then at least i get to ask for their names or something. sigh. 

i thought i could finally be at peace after making this, i consider, a big decision to join the Lancaster summer programme. sigh. i wouldn't say it's a wrong decision though. i mean no decisions can be wrong because how will we know if we don't try? but i've a feeling i'll be thinking a lot about the what's going on at the Nationals, when's our turn to present, what kinda questions are the judges gonna ask, who's gonna be there, will people like the projects we've done so far, do other teams still have canggih powerpoint slides with canggih music??? i won't get to witness all these anymore, double sad face :( :( 

yes there's the World Cup, but it's going to be different :( :( and yes, there'll be another Nationals next year, but it wouldn't feel the same without this very team i've gotten so close with. talking about decisions, sometimes i really count joining Sife one of the blessings to me, in many ways. so yeah, all the more the thought that i won't be able to make it to this year's Nationals is making me feel sad. aihh.

someone actually told me this "one door closes, another one opens up", guess i'm going to make myself happy with that for now. and i'm surprised you could tell something wasn't right about me though i thought i sounded perfectly normal.

too many things going on lately, i've been having dreams that are too real, it's almost like a continuation of the things that appear in my mind right before i fell asleep. and sometimes they keep me thinking after i wake up. uncertainties, weird feelings, all sorts. 

to end the post, i hope gorgor's "baby" is on a speed recovery. scary much, especially just after rachel and hui ling spoke about how their friends broke their shoulder and arm. i thank everything in the world that you're fine. 

i admit i'm a sucker for melancholic movies cause i surprise myself by how much they make me tear. My Sister's Keeper is one :'/

to find joy in the simple pleasures of life :)

Kiddos home alone

feels weird to be waking up to a home without daddy & mommy around. but i must say the best thing about parents going away from home for holidays is the SMS from them!!! like the one i got from daddy this afternoon totally made my day cause it was sooo cute :):) then when my sister got home today i told her daddy loves me more cause i've got an SMS that's cuter than hers, BUT in the end we found out that daddy actually sent it to her first. chiehhh.

other than cute smses, another happiest creature in the whole wide world would be Ador! cause he gets to hop and munch around on anything nobody's gonna scold him hehe we're so nice to him. sorry to daddy's plants!! but they'll grow again one day, so it's okayy i guess:) 

 spot the bunny!

Ador's favourite plant! my dad purposely put it so high up, but he still managed to jump into the pot and reach for it..awesome bunny :D and it made us laugh so much when he wanted to get down, but FELL down instead. greedy la keep biting the plants until lost balance~

and yesterday night was such a crazy insane one with my sister!! love all these moments when we talk and laugh non stop before sleeping, especially nowadays... since i usually go to bed much later than her, she'll always be asleep already before i even get to say a thing. 

anyways, am suddenly feeling quite emo now after hearing that Cali will be leaving soon. good thing for her, but sigh, though we haven't been meeting up very often, i always still feel good knowing that you're still there at BRP with Tony. goodbyes are so eeeeeh :'(
