1 Decade ago....
We were still brashful kids.Bumped into ron today afterwrk. i recognise that back-view. tapped on the shoulder. the train ride back felt seemingly similar..yet different. he got off the stop before me this time round. the usual goodbye wave seems familar..yet different. we've both grown up. yea and perhaps grown horizontally too.
And i wonder if i am what i imagined myself to be 1 decade ago...

Contradictions..
either a yes or no.. sometimes ure happy for your friend who aced the exam..yet u feel a pinch of sore jealousy within..cos you wish you were the one who aced it. does that make one contradict his/her true wishes and feelings towards the counterparty? hmmm....
jeff brought up a rather interesting pt over dinner on sat. human beings have a tendency to compare themselves or seek a pt of reference to make them feel good. The defeat/downfall/lacklustre performance of that pt of reference make themselves feel good. empowerment perhaps...
now we wonder how many of us are really true...

To the brim....
For once...in a very long time.. i felt work and school filling way up to the brim. Brains were fried by friday. Sat's assignment meet up with the team was tiring.. felt bad for not being able to contribute as much. Am glad that we're on track for the equity task. The corporate finance is another tough nut to crack. The idea of formulating loads of data and all is making me wired up..
Caught "made of honour". Not too bad a show.. i totally lost touch with movie listings. loser huh..
1 mth to endure... i can't wait for july to come by.. time to start the tee off!

All the buzz...
weekend was really quite packed. started off sat mrg with project discussion with the team. i can't imagine how we're gonna finish the 2 assignments... :( getting quite worried.. had to rush home to get changed, scurry to generate some data before heading eastwards for isaac's wedding. post wedding was rather fun too. popped down town with joe n tylda. and yes...we did some shopping....i need to shoot myself in the head. funny how tyl gushed non stop abt potential. i told her i have a curse.. hah!
met up lawrence for brunch at dempsey-olio. his passion abt getting an mba from the states seem to have rubbed off on me. can't believe i'm toying with the idea when i'm still struggling with an existing "suffering".. then again.. it seems very viable.let me work out the finances...
2 weeks more...and the assignment's due....arghhhhhhh

Day 6...
And i feel that i've been on desk for more than that. The intensity and speed at which things happen is amazing. Totally feel the brain cells buzzing non stop. its a love hate relationship. haha..
Weekend of class was fulfiling too. Corporate finance- brings me to a different realm. love the theories, the logic the perspectives which one can take to evaluate. certainly lost the lecturer at some pt during the lecture cos the mind was actually drifting to work stuffs. the guys tot i looked stressed. haha..probably..
anyhw, did my long run after class with elvin. and guess what??? the trail that brings one to a full course abt the macritchie reservoir has reopened! the national park council probably fixed the landslides and cleared some vegetation. let me strive to hit the course once a week.

Another chapter..
Monday was a brand new chapter. the path has once again taken a twist. one year ago..it took a major twist.
This time round.. a more subdued version. the chemistry feels right. surroundings are fine..i believe the working relationship should be good. the pace and thought process were intense. a different set of skills and reasoning. i like it.
the week took a pause with the may day hols. can't believe we're almost mid-year. the FOS results were released..think i fared so so.. doubt i'll get a distinction. i'm content with the grade. probably looking forward to dec when the final countdown takes place. or mebbe i'm already looking fwd to post june...where i'll be left with +2 mods to graduation. heheh..tennis here i come!
i've got a next fav haunt now: route to bishan park along the canal.
i should drop by mac soon..been a while.. and new running shoes! the ds trainers are wearing out....
