Last week's happening

Hai was sick for almost the entire last week.
I Shall talk about the more interesting days of the week. Thursday, Friday and Sat..

Thur
Big 4 accounting firms networking nite: Up to this pt, I still prefer go work in Bank or go into teaching. can"t really imagine myself working in audit..very sian..mundane work...nevertheless, I just went for the talk, think i was quite noisy with my constant coughing. Nevertheless, we asked questions and found that the job was better than I thought in terms of benefits.

PWC and EY are the best out of the 4firms..EY offers a orientation training in Bangkok lei...can get out of spore...PWC has better compensation scheme...1 Fruit day every week...1 leave by 6pm day of the week... sounds not bad..
Haiz but relatively hard to get into these 2firms..

Think I will apply all 4 firms and see my chances...has to pass the interview lst and get offer letter..Haha but heard high turnover rates...It's always like that for auditing firms..people are not expected to stay...But quite different from my character.. I really treasure job security...
Haha see how lst ba..No point pondering now..

Fri
Haha finally recover from my illness...Went to exercise again...Met aa to play bad at his hall there...Haiz his hall is like a maze...can't really find my way there...We went to his room to put our stuffs then met his roomie in his room..Hehe his roomie is quite nice to tok to..Oops think I talked too much to aa's roomie le..realised that aa was waiting for us to finish our conversation so can proceed play bad...

badminton was really fun...tho I ended up with body ache all over, should have done more stretching.. Think i pose no challenge to aa lei..He was just standing on 1 spot to hit the shuttlecock..then hitting back to me..He gives in to me too much...so I tried use more strength and hit back in different directions so that can be more fun..Hai my stamina really bad..Up to a pt. aa offered to kai the ball cos I looked quite tired le..nice of him to do so..Erm I was lazy to kai ball anyway...Anyway I was suppo to meet ly,hl theyall to go suntec collect my skates... Initially still got beth n her bf..but poor gal...got proj to rush so can't join us le..

Then i oso realise on the bus to boon lay that AA know how to cook...zai lei..erm cos i dunno how 2cook then he says can cook with recipe..was on his way to buy ingredients to cook tg with his roomie with wine left over...Lucky roomie rite? get to eat food..

Gim theyall v.nice gave zj and i a ride up NTU alumini club..we dun nd walk up the slope le...erm but we went to wrong building...got stuck for a while..b4 realising that we at wrong building...

The buffet food was great..tho a long wait...prof's long speeches....enjoyed myself cos saw the rest but the music was way too loud for jazz...we escaped out of the room...to eat our meal...My ear couldn't take it le...haha we came up with a name for ourselves: Eat then go (Siam)...haha..cos nothing much to do there....

I am clearer and will be stronger

15 Oct 2006

Just talked to my fren...and I can't believe that friendship is so fragile...that people will abandon friendship for their self interest... Sometimes knowing a person for a while far surpasses knowing someone for a few months or even years... I was scared also about how much I understand them...on what they would do and think....It also goes to show that choosing who and wat kind of person to know in the lst place is very crucial...Nevertheless..think I will forgive and forget... I mean is human nature to be like them.. I still need to get on with life...

Really glad to know rubin,lihying,Beth and Kahying theyall...Goes to show that friendship can still be very wonderful...Really appreciate their friendships..Think that great friendships are hard to come by...

More updates.

12oct 2006 thur
My meeting with joon,beth and aa, really glad to see Joon after so long...Beth and I bought t-shirts for riyang...as appreciation for his efforts....and cos he paid for the accomodation during our case competition... Then went to meet aa, was quite confused when I saw him...din really know wat to ask....quite awkward asking him personal qns...Glad to meet him that nite too....cos really got to know him better...I guess it's quite difficult to get to know a person within a short span of time..

I really appreciate his efforts when he pei me go suntec...He could have just gone back to his hall which was a few bustops away...

When we were at carrefour...As the skates were out of stock..I needed to ask the staffs for help but he kept performing disappearing act...Was really glad that Beth offered to help and asked the staff for assistance...eventually the staff did help and I bought my skates..Paiseh to let the rest wait as I tried the sizes...But I was really happy ove rthe purchase..would collect it nxt wk...

14 Oct 2006 sat
This must have been my worse day..Was supposed to be a joyous occasion as we celebrate mich bdae....

But I have said something terribly wrong to Beth...Shouldn't have said that...I really didn"t mean it..But it must have been catalyst to make her blow up...She got really upset..to the extent I didn"t know wat to do..Was really helpless...I kept apologising but I know no apologies would help...After so many weeks of being there for me and listening to me...think she put on too many hats...I shouldn"t have relied so much on her, should have let things go naturally....Beth needed her breathing space too...Should haf thought of her feelings....Really upset for wat has happened...I really appreciate my frenship with her....didn't want our frenship to be spoilt over such a thing...Hope she will cool down soon and don"t be angry with me...think haf to give her time to cool down....

I also cum to realise that frenship shd go naturally...It takes time to get to know each other much better and if there r common topics and characters match ...It would then be natural for the two to be great frens.. Rome is not built in a day..

That was what happen to me and all my hao jie meis, we become gd frens after we know each other for some time...Think I'm quite hard to understand at times... and my frens generally takes time to fully understand me..I have learnt frenship in the hard way...that is things need to be slow and steady... There is a need to be sensitive of each other's feelings too...for frenship to be everlasting..
