Dear Bloggy,
I've got so much to do. Practising my online business strategic simulation, re-writing my 3-years-old-kid lookalike resume. Right then, Iko darling showed me a blog (http://memyselfmine.blogspot.com/). It's the RSAF guy who died in Brunei's galfriend blog. Her pain and sorrow is clearly reflected in every word, every sentence. I've read so many romance, heart-breaking stories but this is the only one that truly moved me to tears.
We always complain about our partner. Not giving enough attention, being so insensitive to our feelings, always hanging out with his friends, cares more about Man U or Liverpool will win the season match than they care about us, spend more time playing Dota than meeting gf, blah blah blah. But what if one day, when they can't complain to their bf anymore? Imagine the message couldn't be conveyed anymore. The harder u try, the more disappointment u felt. I can almost understand half of that feeling and it already hurt.
I guess we should always be reminded to cherish what is around us. For me, this story hit me hard, not to take things for granted. Humans are made of flaws and I believe God made us in pairs so we can compromise and make up for each other flaws, no? (:
Thanks for not taking me away yet, God.

Dear Bloggy,
There's a posting in the student portal for Personal Banking Associate in UOB! To be exact, it's more to a sales position. There's a great deal of stress I have to consider, the ability to hit target, the level of customer service provided, it's just so result-oriented. As far as I know, for personal banker, there's no fixed timing to knock off and go for happy hour. There's telemarketing to be done after the "official" hours, meeting of clients and roadshows during weekends. God damn lot have to be done before establishing the customer base and to breathe some fresh air. At all. Well well, as for now, I think no harm sending in my resume? Oh ya, and have to market myself in the resume. It feels like it's that kinda praising-yourself-till-you-sound-like-almighty thingy. LOL.
But seriously, the kinda job that I'm looking for is that kinda that will give me chances to travel aboard. I'm dying to leave my comfort zone and see how people work out there, experience different cultures, gain more insights even starting from scratch. I mean who wanna be a frog stuck at the bottom of the well forever? At least not for me. Thus, I think MNCs are lovely. And I mean American ones. No Japanese please. LOL.
Recently I've done some planning for the near future:
- 23: Graduate from SIM and HOPES to find a decent paying job
- 24: Get my little ride.
- 25: Further studies - Masters in Management/HR (PT)
- 28: Get married (That's if someone wants me. LOL)
- 30: Have the first kid (Preferably a girl)
- 32: Make the second kid (Boy, this time)
- 60: Retire~*!*~*!*~!*~*!~*!*
How does it sounds? Seems like a perfect plan? LOL. I've read it somewhere, to retire at 60 with $2, 000 to spend per month, inclusive of investment returns, have to have a nest egg of at least $430, 000! If ideal expenditure is $5, 000 monthly, you need $1mil and have to save up $1, 000 monthly for 33 years!!!!! But who the hell would need to spend $5, 000 monthly? U don't go on holidays monthly, do you? DUH~ Investments in mahjong? NOT~!

Dear Bloggy,
Recently, felt so vexed! Till I feel like screaming it all out! It's our last semester already but how come we still have problems with groupings? We're neither freeloaders nor slackers but how come we're the ones being left out? As far as i remember, we got 1 HD and DI for the rest of our projects last semester! But y still?! I need 3 HDs to get my degree with distinction and when I'm all set to strive hard for it, then shit happens and it's so demoralizing!! Me and another girl from our clique were left stranded, and she's joining another group, which means that I may have to seek for a new group, maybe doing 3 projects which weighs 50% of overall marks with ppl I dunno~! It simply feels like gambling, either u live or u die.
I think I just need to rant. Nothing can be changed, I guess.

Dear Bloggy,
As human, there's a lot of restrictions. Restriction on your ability, restrictions on what you can do, restrictions on what you can say. I don't like this. I cared so much, but there's nothing I can help. I've been seeing a even-more-complicated-than-last-time life but I can only find out more from other people. We've drifted cos of this even-more-complicated-than-last-time life.
I wanted to speak my mind, just gag everything that's pondering me. But I know whatever I say would be futile. Maybe what they said are right, as a friend, there's only so much you can do, as for the rest you can only pray for the best. I started to think likewise too.

Dear Bloggy,
School has just started for the second day and I felt like a zombie. I totally don't hearts waking up early and hop on to a 1 hr bus journey before I see SIM. But it's my last semester, no matter what, I will be good and drag myself to school. Well, at least I get to enjoy myself before school starts. There's my virgin experience to Shisha den steak, drinks and movies. There's supposed to be guitar lesson, but too bad, not enough time and Shifu said my nails are too long =( There goes the pictures for my Saturday Pre-school reopening activity. =D
My long nails. And the tip's lace.

Dear Bloggy,
Current MSN personal message:
我渴望的爱情是如此的遥远，在不知不觉中我已迷失了自我，就像在海洋中一膄飘浮不定的小船，等着靠岸的那一天。
I did not copy this from somewhere! Lol. I felt that my Chinese got a bit better? And I'm pretty proud of myself. Way to go, girl~
But I indeed felt this way. =)

Dear Bloggy,
2 Indonesian men are convicted of illegal human organ trading to two kidney patients in Singapore. It's said to be the first illegal organ trading cases to be prosecuted in Singapore. 
Something just flashed past my mind.
If not for their dire straits, who would actually wanna risk being being sliced open and have a kidney being removed for just nearly $30k? Moreover, they're people from the suburbs, normally not highly-educated and have many family members to be taken care of.
They could be sentenced up to $10k and jail term of 1 year each? And what about the people who actually seek for organs? Yes, they bleached the law terms but it's not mentioned how severe will it be. But if there's no demand, there would not be supply, no? The rich people who can afford such substantial amount of money should be more guilty than those people who are illiterate being persuaded into such deals! And what's worse, the media made it sound it those people are ought to be more guilty! Com' on, one of the kidney patient is Tang Wee Sung! Some filthy rich merchant! How "illiterate" can he be?
I guess this society is way too harsh. Due to inflation, the worldwide societal gap between the rich and the poor are getting bigger and bigger. I just feel for the 2 men. Is it all about status, symbol and the assets that one is holding on to? I may be emotional, that's all because I still do have a HEART...
