I might be in Europe later this week/early next week, but not for long - for three to four days maybe?

I'd try not to sleep so I can meet as many people as I can.

If not, my schedule's packed till April, where it depends if my team can let me go (haha), or August, where it also depends if my team can let me go/I've completed all my summer commitments, but I highly doubt that. I'd most likely be there for the whole month of December unless there's an opportunity to work again.

I really miss Europe, and I'm definitely going back because I need a break so much.

On days when I feel overwhelmed I just go to this corner at my faculty for some inspiration.



So right now as you're reading this, I'm typing this sitting on that black sofa you're seeing above.

Just now, a non-Singaporean commented, "I like how it rains here." And I just didn't realise that I've been taking all this rain for granted for so long.

It's Friday, but I don't want to go home today. It sounds crazy but I wish I can just choose to stay here the whole night doing my work. That'd be really perfect.

Some days I love working really hard.

But tonight I'm just back on MSN chatting (a possible reason is because I'm ahead of my work for once).

I've been on Skype for so long, I forgot how it feels like to be on MSN. And now I just feel like I'm missing out not talking to all my contacts - 200+ of them I think?

OK maybe not all, but at least it's about four times my Skype contacts. And I miss talking to them. Miss talking to all my friends.

So there's another reason to be happy. Today, I re-realised the joys of talking to my friends again. Albeit now I wish my MSN isn't broken and I don't have to resort to using eBuddy.

Today, I'm happy for a different reason: taking all business modules except for a French language module (I wanted to take German 3, but they aren't offering it this semester).

So.. 7 group projects, 12 individual graded assignments and 1 final year project. (You realise I haven't even thrown in the number of tests I have yet ;))

One thing that I really like about my final year project is that we're doing something meaningful - setting up a social enterprise that will help fund certain people. I don't know how much we can say about it right now but I figure it'd be a really fun (albeit daunting..) project to do; it's going to put everything we learn in business into practice! :) :)

Anyway, with all that said, I had a really tiring week at school. But at the same time, I'm learning a lot every day so I can't complain too. Gotta continue working on my case study - till then!

If she sounds the slightest bit familiar, it's because I previously quoted her, and I will again:

I can't stop gushing on how happy I am. Right now, as I'm suffering the effects of skipping the first week of school to see out my internship (i.e. clearing all my cases, assignments and readings), I'm smiling.

Every morning when I wake up, I wake up realising that my dream has finally come true. Nothing beats that feeling.

I'm not bragging or anything, but I just want to share my joy, since I've been grumbling and ranting for the past few months (or year).

I can't believe this, I still can't believe it. I used to say that life is like advertising and you don't know when your break will actually come, but omg, after all that 2.5 years of planning, this is my break, this is it. I've never been more happy in my whole life; this is better than the time when I found out I went to the junior college I wanted to, better than counting down in New York with 1 million people, better than so many other things.

I WANT TO RUN DOWN A GREEN OPEN FIELD AND SAY "AHHH!" That's how excited I am about 2010!

I'm finally going to do what I want, and at a place I never thought I'd be able to get in. All that competition... I'm so happy, I'm so super psyched, I can't wait!

After all that work, after all those endless nights worrying, finally.

I know it's always dramatic to say this, but I'd be dramatic for one more day.

I think my life has just been changed forever... really. I can't believe it, this is the most amazing thing that has happened to me. Thank you everyone who made this possible, and especially everyone who believed and gave me opportunities. :)
