Way Back Into Love (full version)

Lovely. Simple lyrics

vesak holiday. spent the day typing my assignment. fumbled on some loan amortization stuffs...to only realise that it was a lil error. glad that that is off the checklist of things to do.

wed nite-pre hols. met jean for a drink at rogues. always lovely to chat with her. adjourned to citylink - pseudo japn food place-raku for dinner. food was normal. and "un-japanese" but the quiet comfort made up for it. enough of buzz and ppl from the gss. always good to catch up with sec sch mates. chatting on the good times in sch, updates of current happenings in each others' lives.

contemplated if i shld head down to velvet. mich was there with her colleagues. warned that the crowd was horrendous. ah well tot i'd drop by to say hi to some mates and then pick her up to head home. indeed kim seng road was jammed with cars. my gawd.

anyhow bad experience at velvet last evening. bad crowd.

chanced upon the advert for pc show this morning. seems like the palm treo is going for a decent price. not exactly a very sleek phone to carry for a gal. just kinda drawn to the functionalities. hmmz. now to decide, a laptop or a phone.

thursday is drifting by slowly. tmr shall head to the gym. need a workout. maybe i shld take a slow jog to somewhere.

First day at the new work place. new colleagues, new environment. Got acquainted rather well. everyone was busy with their morning readings and preparatory before the mkts open.

email and bbg got setup well. felt that i got back my means of communication with everyone else. good start. met tyl over lunch. shared abt our lives, mutual update. am happy that she's well. things can only get better moving forward.

sunday was slow and simple. brunch with b at ps cafe. beautiful place in the day, outdoor dining in the evenings creates a different atmosphere. the expats love the sun, whilst i had to stay in. lest the freckles worsen. kb's sandwich had an overdosage of bacon. guess we'll have to hit marmalade pantry next time. mine was simple poached eggs with portabello mushrooms. good to chat and catch up on a sunday.

quite a fair deal of outstanding assignments and to dos to complete. will have to work on them again soon..like now.

saturday felt accomplished..met up the gang at orchard-tonkichi restaurant. the gss has started..the crowd was really bad. got drawn to the display of golf clubs..tempted..very tempted to purchase one of the sets. Had to focus on the meet up first. Ivan's trips back to sp always help bring the group together. really nice to catch up and update one another of the happenings in our lives. amy's gonna wed year end and serena's gonna be june 15 '08.

conversation always include work..work hazards! as usual mkt talk. haha. but didn't go too far down the road..glad we had plans on the next outing-prata and korea food.

met up james for a jog at ecp. been a while since i ran along the park. glad to be back on track. felt good-runner's high. dropped by suntec for dinner..sake sushi was bad. dun think i'll be back there anymore. there was midnite shopping at suntec in conjunction with gss. walked into citychain and got myself a nice sleak black watch from dkny. not fanciful. just simple and classy.

a day well spent.

simple evening out..dinner, chit chat and ice cream. at least it was away from the city buzz..the harbour view was nice..would have been better if the psa port wasn't in the picture.

been a while since i had a simple relaxing dinner out. it was nice to listen to other's experiences in life. felt sorry about the experience that d encountered. lets hope that all will be good as time goes by..

the project and assignment deadline looms...will have to put in more effort to have them done up.

The weekend awaits once more. The week was a hectic one. Eventful. Started with the departure on monday. Followed by the errands and catch up sessions on tues and wednesday.

Finally got down to reading my study materials today. quite a fair bit to cover. Outstanding assignments to be completed. The weekend will probably be spent completing assignments. Have to make sure i get down with the cmfas stuffs too.quite a pain.

sorted things out today. it should be for the better. at least we are on level playing ground. hope that all will be well for xyz.

the focus is on work now..all the energy. need to make sure i dun stretch myself too thin.

Had my first lesson of the term last evening. It was good. Mixed feelings before the class..made a boo boo whilst on my way there after work. A wrong exit from the mrt station made me walk a good 500m more. Should have gotten my bearings right.

Good thing I made it to class early. Plonked myself at the second row of seats. The class is not too big. About 24 i reckon..First class on Financial Management.. The first hour flew past pretty fast with all the intro. The remaining 2 hrs was a lil tough though. Overall everything was good. I love it. A brand new beginning...

Lesson two today...started well..but by 5pm, i could feel my head spinning a lil. Been a long while since i had intensive lessons. 1pm- 8pm??!!! gosh... Feeling zonky now still. All the formulas still swimming in my head. Well they better stay for a longer while. The assignments and readings need to be completed. haha.. quite a bit of stuffs to type..but i guess i'll just do it another time. I need to hit the sack..another long day ahead tmr.

Looking forward to the challenge ahead. am a lil worried if i'll be able to cope. Hope that all will be good. Really nice of david to share on his experiences. Gave me more insights on what to pick for the career ahead. Rather comforting to hear from supportive colleagues about the new change. Will try to fit in well..and make use of the opportunity. Will get busy with this new goal in life. Am targetting to complete it within 1.5 years or even shorter.

Last weekend to rest and relax...hope to meet up some good ole frens to catch up before the buzz sets in.
