I'm back from Japan! And I'm missing Japan badly! It was cold but really wonderful compared to Singapore's HOT weather (I tot it's dec... shouldn't it be cooler?)
9 Days in Japan was great and I love the maple leaves!!! Perhaps I should revisit in Spring to watch the cherry blossoms!!! Sakura~ Sakura~~~

Back from Aussie
I'm back! Time sure flies... 20 days in Australia has gone by real fast... I'm now back in Singapore, facing reality again...
Life's good in Australia (minus the work)... It's quite something to see all shops closing at 530pm everyday... and it's really demoralizing to see the entire mall closed except for the supermarket - and it's only 7pm (5pm S'pore time!). We stayed in Yeppoon, a small town with ONE shopping street (that's the CBD). Luckily, the beach & seaview make up for everything =)
We have to endure 1.5 hrs per trip to travel from Yeppoon to the training area but i guess that beats staying in camp! =P The trip has made me seen so much... It's hard to put them all in words here... but well... to say the truth, I realised I'm such a city girl - I can't survive in the wilderness... I was so terrified of the buzz of the flies swarming around in the field that I could hear the "replay" even as I lie in bed that night!
Well... Ain't I glad to be home! =)
If you only see the darkness in front,
You'll miss the galaxy of stars in the sky above.
If you only feel the scorching rays,
You'll never appreciate the warmth of the sun.

work work work
I used to be able to write all sorts of crap here...but recently I find myself staring very hard at the blogger page and wondering what to write... I can't really talk much about work on blog... in case it ends up on one of the internal mass emails of the cpy.. hahaz...
I'm almost 3 months into the job... Life's good so far (I guess...) though sometimes I wonder if I'm in the right line... When what interests you is not the same as what you are good at, which one will you choose? When your dreams probably cannot be easily achieved without forgoing everything you've had all your life... What will you choose?
Will be spending 20days in the desert soon... It's work so I guess I have no choice but to be roasted there... (argh...) I hope I will still be recognizable after I'm back! (I don't want to be black black...) So well... please think of me! *blush*
我也好想去相信，但我已等了好久。我还能继续等下去吗？

Lala! hee... paiseh!!!
Bin back in Singapore for almost 2 wks... and no pix up yet cos watashiwa has been very lazie... PS: Filtering through 1,854 photos (=4.25GB) is a torture which I have bin trying to postpone till now... haha... good news is... i've cut down to 250 photos (woow!) and i vow to continue to cut down abit more else i will have another torturing session of uploading! lolz...
All in all, Taiwan is FUN! so for janey who's already there... enjoy! =) and ning angeline & gang going in 2 wks... Look forward to it! =) My fav is still Alishan... cos of the cool temperature and interesting trees... Taipei is wonderful for shopping, and the Kaohsiung Dream Mall Ferris wheel is so kawaii! I wish i have more time at Taipei 101! And too bad I didnt get to see more of Taroko Gorge cos of the road repairs! Next time I shall go Taiwan on F&E! (Care to join?)
Ok! Photos up within the next wk (i hope!) since I've retired (almost) from my part-time work and beginning the 1 mth plus of rotting at home... and witnessing the decline of my life-long savings... (sob)
yawnzz... post photos soon... ciaoz for now!

back in action!!!
... after 4 mths... haha
Oops I am sooooo sorry for neglecting this page of mine... It's so dead I realise I've even forgotten what's the link! (cock my head) So much has happened in the past semester... And I am now glad to announce that I've survived my LAST EXAMINATION for my whole four years in NTU! Lolx... AND next up, TAIWAN!!
I will be travelling to taiwan on tour with Sylvia! =) Well, I'll first need to survive my FYP presentation on the 6th, then will be flying on 8th May. The tour's 8 days with great hotel stays (Sylvia says our hotels have wonderful ratings online!!) and we will be extending the stay in Taipei for another 3 nights. So, I'll be back on 18th!!! Will bring back lots of pix (with my NEW Fujifilm camera!) and hopefully lots of maggie mee! (hee heee) and I know Sylvia's gonna drag me around to go buy comic books... =P
After Taiwan, I guess it's KL with Pei shi, xia xia & ning! =) It'll be great going KL with my wonderful lesson-mates! Afterall, we've spent 3 yrs looking at each other for almost all our lessons! haha... I'll really miss them when we all start work!
Speaking of work, it's DSTA for me! Most probably I'll be commencing work in July (when I am starting to finish my savings... I seriously don't think that little sum will survive till then! lolx) and poor me will be working at ulu Tiong Bahru... (ok.. it's not THAT ulu lah... just abit out of the way...)
Hmmx... I do wonder what will I become, say 5 years later... and what will my friends become? =) I guess we'll have to wait and see!
