Can't believe xmas is upon us already, the past 2 and a half months just flew by without anything really happening... sometimes i look back and ask myself, "what on earth have i been doing all this time?". I feel like i've done a lot of things since i came back but i cant recall anything in particular that stands out until recently. The same gym sessions (still no progress), spending time with gf as often as i could and (still) getting in touch with mates... in between mid autumn festival, mum's bday, halloween and november just kinda flew by... although i did finally get my degree transcript and certificate... pretty chuffed getting a MSc with merit... i just hope i can attend my graduation ceremony on march 29... Went to thailand (krabi) with meranda, clara and wendy for 5 days last wkend and had a blast.. the weather was lovely and the places we visited, the food we had and the atmosphere of the whole place was brilliant. Even though i didnt manage to get much of a tan it was still a nice and relaxing break (well for meranda and co. since they've been working their arses off since they started work in July). Here're a few of snaps from the trip... 
Posing at Jame's Bond Island 
Maya Bay (the place where The Beach was filmed) 
Tiger Prawns.. yum yum 
Nice, clear water with amazing corals 
Sunset in Ao Nang 
Our resort's swimming pool On the job hunting front i've also managed to find something in the past wk or so. I wasnt making much progress at all before but through a friend i got in touch with an recruitment agency and after sending them my CV I was asked to have a chat with one of their consultants regarding a banking role. That went alrite and a few days later i was invited by the bank for an interview (turned out to be 2 in one afternoon). Luckily i did my homework and from my previous interview experiences (esp the 2 cathay interviews i had in July) I did alrite and whilst on holiday in thailand got a call from the bank saying that they are offering me a place.. so was chuffed to bits and signed the contract on monday... really looking forward to this post coz i really hope i will learn a lot from it and i believe it offers a great opportunity to succeed in this field in the long term... in the meantime just have to go through all the handouts the company gave me as well as filling in 15! various forms that i hv to complete and hand in on my 1st day at work (8th jan)... Another month to go till work starts so will make the most of it and try and do as much as i could in the next 4-5 weeks, havent got anything planned yet but i am sure it will be a great xmas and new year... in the meantime life goes back to normal.. gym mon/wed/fri, rugby (when i finally get my arse there) tues/thurs and chilling out (drinking) on fri and sat... not to mention the various family/friends lunch and dinner dates... actually my life aint THAT boring hahaha! Enough crap for this entry... hopefully i will hv more to talk abt come xmas... i am sure i'll hv plenty to talk (moan?) abt then i finally start work and enter the real world (again.. tried in 2003 but went back to uni haha) |
