after a looooooooong time.... again..

i m such a lazy slob. i don't even bother to blog nowadays..
not that i m uber busy.. just that. well. i m lazy. haha..
some updates.. (to remind myself in 10 yrs what I did these few months)

1. April (Bangkok)
This was a very last minute, very unneeded change of plans I made to accommodate the interview from nanometrics which did not happen in the end.. very sorry to e ppl i flew 'aeroplane'.. but had a super crazy shopping time @ bkk..

2. May (Msia Trip)
with Sonnie, Por + Lu, we went to Teluk Intan, Penang and Langkawi... i would never forget how good the chee cheong fun tasted in TI.. nor I would forget how horrible was the ferry ride from Penang to Langkawi (unless dire circumstances.. nvr nvr take the ferry again).. heavily imprinted in my memory is also the uber nice + romantic dinner we had @ the german restaurant @ Langkawi .. called beer garden i think.. de beer was good.. pizza great.. and the beach + breeze + ambiance was simply excellent!

3. June (Job Seeking + House seeking)
It was countless hours in front of the computer.. browsing thru countless advertisements for house to rent... jobs to apply.. good sites to look for places to rent includes...
singapore.gumtree.sg
www.88db.com
me, sonnie + fernie had our share of shocking experiences looking @ scary houses.. like de one @ jurong east... no way i m going to pay 2k/month for such a shabby and poorly located flat.. and the horrible 1.5K 2+1 we saw @ telok belangah.. there is FERN growing out of the windows @ e bathroom and don't get me started @ e toilet bowl (ewww.. it's horrifying just to think of it).. saw a uber nice duplex near admiralty... very nice floors and built in cabinet.. with a very 'nice' owner (planning on how to upkeep the house if we are renting it... wth??!!.. like he is hiring housekeeper or something)...
in e end.. we settled for 1/2 a jumbo flat @ blk 821 woodlands.. fully furnished.. really nice owner and kids.. our flat is right opposite fushan garden.. so we hv our share of nature.. bla bla.. @ quite a affordable rate for all of us... so i guess it isn't too bad :)
job seeking was quite a roller coaster ride for me..somehow.. i couldn't land any interviews with those chem eng jobs that are available.. i duno why.. something wrong with my resume? ai. i duno.. anyhow.. i settled with a job with accenture.. and am excited to start e job (tho a bit apprehensive of the long working hours)

4. July (Cambodia, Vietnam + Convocation + House Moving)
early July.. me + ann+lu went for our grad trip to Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh and MuiNe (will upload some pics later on.. IF i remember.. hehe)
after my trip, it was a busy busy time when I had to move all my rubbish from Hall 10 to our new place in Woodlands.. went really nuts trying to pack everything.. threw away a lot of clothes.. (sshhh.. dun tell my parents)
den it was the ceremony that marks the end of my connection with NTU.. my convo... sad to think about it now... ai...

5. Aug (Lu leaves + I start work.. i hope)
9th Aug.. Lu leaves for China.. he will be flying off from Guangzhou to Penn late Aug.. sigh. have to get used to life without him around.. de days before he left was hectic.. packing.. throwing stuff.. meeting ppl... spending time together..
currently.. i m just lazing at home.. moping around that Lu is gone.. and enjoying the shows on astro. hoho.. the olympics is pretty interesting too!! hehe.. 11 channels on astro.. superb!
hopefully.. i can start work soon... but it has been nice lazing at home.. haven't been able to really stay for such a long time at home for the past few months.. for most of the time i have to return back sg for my weekly tuition on tues (just a excuse la.. else how do i spend time with Lu?)
ahhh...

let me enjoy Pontian while it lasts :)
