I’ve decided to skip commencement, despite knowing that one day it might be a big regret, not being able to wear the graduation robes and all. But the idea of ceremonies, and 1.5 hours in hair and makeup is just so unappealing. Never felt like I slogged through the past four years and graduation’s a huge achievement. I will always miss school where 15 weeks of term only equates to 3 weeks of effort sigh.

Just came back from KL and for the next few months, I’ll stay grounded to sort out my life. Maybe Royal Carribean cruising in December.

I looked through JobsCentral this morning. And the job prospects are all so boring:S Plans indefinite now.

Back from my travels.

Sat, 30 Jun 2012 10:12:32 +0800

SAD. Now I have no excuse not to start looking for a job, I need to decide if I want to attend graduation, need to collect my degree scroll and transcript which I do not care for and need to visit the bank to pay up my school fees.

Californication.

Leaving tomorrow. Byebye Singapore. I haven’t planned much, and I believe its cause of overenthusiastic planner Carmen that I haven’t been very bothered, she’s got all grounds covered.

I’m not excited. I dread the start of this vacation as I dread the end, and the massive jobhunt that’s to come after that.

Not in love with elephants but.. more beautiful than any prada or chanel.

Drew this with a mouse during the last hour of work couple of days ago. Work is boring. And there’s really nothing much to do.

Dawson’s first competition.

vs 9 other border collies & 1 husky on saturday.

A rosette would make a good birthday present. But being in such fiercely competitive category, can’t expect much.

Things that matter.

Things that matter: Travel.

Things that don’t: Chinese New Year.

I’m sorry I’m still griping about Korea.

Gardens.

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:08:59 +0800

Gardening was the rage today. We bought new potted plants, and replanted old ones to beautify Cairo’s enclosure. With the rearrangement of the patio table and chairs to the area, it’s really a gorgeous place to relax now. Think greenhouse without that much glass. Then we scoured the estate in the car for old discarded tree trunks for him to climb and scratch on to no avail.

Over the past few days, been cooking a lot also. Breaded lime chicken, fried rice, fish tacos, french onion soup and tiramisu. Major successes for the new recipes, and the old ones still taste good:) Will make more of my favorite chocolate tarts soon before school gets busy.

I’ve stopped working at the cafe since a couple of days ago. Good riddance to Kenny professing his love and washing dishes. But everyone’s been nice. It’s been a joy to work for Dave, even-tempered dude who loves animals so much he’s vegetarian.

School reopens tomorrow. Might have to practice self-discipline and say no to Korea (eight frigging days), cause one lesson’s a bitch. Actually I already did, but still harboring a glimmer of hope.

Idk.

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:21:24 +0800

Korea or CNY? If I skip CNY, I’ll be MIA for two CNYs already. Becoming unchinese:/ And my dad will nag at me for traveling again. But travel’s always top priority. Idk.

Summer term or Finish both modules the coming semester? Save $2000 or graduate earlier?

Last New Year's Eve.

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:27:13 +0800

Was spent in London. Braved the frigid winter for five hours to get best spots for fireworks on the bridge, Big Ben behind us, London Eye to the right, the River Thames under us. It was torture. But at least I was overseas. And I miss it. Three nights ago was the beginning of my five months in Europe.

This New Year’s Eve was spent at Debra’s place with a bunch of new and old acquaintances, slightly under a dozen dogs, majority of which were border collies of various colors and owned by Deb and Dex. Garden party! We got to roll our own popiahs - homemade, it was delicious, grilled chicken wings, profiteroles, beers. Out of place because we were the youngest of the lot and by a fair margin, only commonality would be our love for dogs, although they’re more dedicated than I could ever be. We left early, the rest of the night was uninspiring. He invited his friends to his house, and they chatted and played games, while I left halfway and retired to his room unhappily because I’d never ever fit in.

boxing day.

Town with LH for Starbucks, Santouka ramen dinner at Cuppage and Orchard walkabout. Dude’s doing really well in studies and work. A very good example of hard work paid off. I envy his drive - my professional hacker friend who’s gonna earn big bucks in a Big Four company next time if he chooses it.

And bf’s still stuck at the funeral as daddy’s lil bitch. He can’t leave for any part of the entire day without resulting in massive displeasure, that’s five days we’re talking. I think its annoying both of us, probably me more because I idealize freedom. Then again, maybe not since I’m not the one spending full days at that sad place:/

Self-sufficiency is the answer. Till then, just gotta bear with it.

O Holy Night.

Had Christmas eve dinner yesterday night at Elaine’s mum’s place. They cooked pastas with loads of veggies - salads, roasted vegetables and chap chye my mum brought. Baked in the morning and brought my chocolate pie and vanilla ice cream to go with. Had good reviews, and some had seconds, not that there was a lot of extra to go around:)

Then had a short visit to my bro’s place to visit Rex who had an operation on the back of his neck to remove a lump. Watched him finish dinner, hand-fed for most part by my niece with chopsticks. He refuses to eat his yucky medicine-tainted food from the bowl. Then watched him bark at us in displeasure as we stole his dry food and dental sticks cause my bro says he can’t have them anymore.

I’m gonna have myself a very boring Christmas. Lunch cancelled cause his grandmother passed away. They have a knack of dying on or close to special occasions, his 21st birthday and now this. My dad suggested MBS but I’m lazy, and not keen on crowded public transport on a holiday.

Ain't enough.

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:41:03 +0800

I hate it when there’s stuff to be settled and I ain’t doing it. Sense of unease, guilt of procrastination. Pushing internship deadlines as usual. No rush, I mean as long as its within five years I can graduate right:/

Anyway, some component grades are out. Not s’posed to be a stellar semester. But A+ for MR final paper was more relief than delight. For a mere three days of studying, unexpected to say the least. Still, overall not expecting fabulous grades sadly.

I am feeling it. Sick of tolerating accommodating behavior. Ain’t enough anymore. Tell me how this works out in the long run.

The lack of motivation is gonna be my downfall. Roar. One more exam but no fuel to go on. I think I spent more time sleeping and watching TV the past few days.

Taiwan is a huge possibility since five minutes ago, at the expense of my internship search again. Not much excitement though. I miss Japan.

Tomorrow. Exam. SHOPPING. SLEEP. Work.

Past month’s pay is gonna add to the revenues of Massimo Dutti/Zara/H&M:)
