Bienvenue à l'espace Serene's

Awww!! Today will be the last paper for this sem.. I just hope that it'll be over now and get over with it! I can somehow say I studied the whole day yesterday, but the progression seems to be soooo slow. Studied till dawn and was left with 5 chapters.

Tomorrow's paper will be a 3 hrs 15 mins paper. Hell with it la! All essay qns of min 1.5 pages of answers. Argh!!! I'm so so drained for this exam. All memorizing have to be done, which I'm really bad at!

Been home for a week or so, it's so so so shiok can, even though I'd been home studying, but it definitely beats going to work, facing those morons. Haiz!

MAC's sick, sent to clinic for repair. When will it be back~~~~

Went for Kim's dad's wake last night. Heart sank. Dad raised 3 daughters singlehandedly. Eldest daughter only 20 years old followed by 18 then 17. Didn't get to enjoy life and just passed on due to brain cancer. Daughters are ophan now, as their mum passed on when they were still really young. oh man!! How lucky can we be? Haiz! Just pray for the best for them!

I've to really start mugging else I doubt I can finish the whole book!! First paper already buang, hope tomorrow's will be alright.

Awwww.... Another 15 days to my trip!! Can't wait too! Before flying, must really clean my room as there's so much dirt!!

Alrighty, I'm done with one mod...

I'm so gonna fail like shit for this.... It seems like all that I studied did not come out.. Or rather, maybe I did not study tedious enough. So gonna get ready for this same mod in the next semester (will there be?).

I'm ohsoaddicted to koi can. Been drinking everyday...

anywayz, going to have a 30 mins nap and will chiong econs all the way till tomorrow morning. wish me luck man! cheerios! 

In about 2 hours 10 mins, it'll be the dooms day for my very first paper. 

do not understand anything except for HRM... trade unions, etc etc, what are they talking about...

alright, i'm not greedy, i do not hope for much. Just a pass I'll be more than happy....

Get it over & done with, this sem really sucks!

Last semester's Law paper isn't as tough and at least it's an open book... 

These 3 mods this sem!? so much to remember yet not open book.. booz!!!

Exams is just less than 2 weeks away... I should really start mugging....

Had been a busy week meeting up with people.. Had not gone out for 2 weeks after I got sick.. Friday was the 1st day I actually went out after work. Went facial with Angela, then met up Angie in town for dinner at Marriott.. Food standard in Marriott had definitely dropped. Food in their previous menu was much better than the current one. And I think their price dropped too... A trade-off I reckon. ^_^ After dinner, we just nua in the toilet for about less than 30 mins for some camwhoring session! Lol..

 

Hi all, it has been quite sometime since I last came in to blog. I guess some of you must have missed me yeah? ;) No worries, I think very soon, we'll be able to see each other..

Before that happens, just in case I'm missed, here I am!

the pretty serene


the monkey serene








and lastly, the nerd serene...................
















Hee!!

Anyway, I reckon my friends are now trying to cope with assignments + work + sch while some are like me, mugging for exams. Oh! Like me, does not equate to I'm studying... Ha! Ok, I do sound kinda not guilty for not mugging, but hey! I am guilty alright. After this, will do some readings then off to bed I go....

Last week had been really a short working week for me. Mon, Tues & Thurs were MC days for me. It was kinda shiok. Thank God my cough is getting better after all the different medications and mum's bird nest. ^_^ Being a short week it may be, but I had gone for 2 interviews. 1 was with DBS Private Banking, as Business Analyst, under 1 year direct contract with DBS. Business Analyst it may be, but the job scope is exactly the same as what I am doing now. Other than the dept that I will be in and the pay, I think UOB is actually better in a way or another. But anywayz, went over for some interview experience only. The 2nd one was with Cityneon, a quite established event company. It was for the position of HR & Admin. Yeah, HR boring it may seems, but I kinda like the job scope that was shown. The interviewer had said that he will give me the result, be it good or bad, by Tues, but had not heard from him since. So it's kinda another gone-case. Would like hope that I can go into HR dept to try things out. Think should mass send my resume after my exams or after my tour.

Oh yeah, next! I have something real nice to share with you guys!!! It's the CP Shrimp Wonton. 

  

It's easy-to-cook, convenient, yummy and!! it can be eaten as a meal for busy people who do not have much time.

  

  

Yum yum... It can be consider a ittle pricy.. But who cares ya..

Alirhgt, it's getting late.. I'm so goona zzz le...

I am on MC again today. Went to the doc this morning and had a jab. This year's health hasn't been that fantastic. 

It'll be my 1st paper in exactly 3 weeks' time. Should really buck up real real soon.

And of course, it'll be my trip in another 1 month 11 days' time.. I'm so damn damn excited about it can.. Excited yet scared at the same time. Everything has more or less been settled. Just have to bring my $$ and pack up and off we go!

Have had a great deal of abdominal exercise for the past 1 week... ^_^

Hope I will have better health for the rest of these year.

I'm so so o-so tired~~
 

 Alright, had taken MC so as to chiong assignment that will be due tomorrow. Had told owl yesterday about how guilty I feel, having to take MC today reason being I've got tons and tons and tons of unfinished work awaiting me and all need to be tested ok by end of this week. Like, wth? The IT folks just released e programs for us to test last Wed and the program is still so unstable. How can we test finish by this week lei? Still got so many defects not solved. Argh~~~~~ MAS requirements. Sian-ed. No other banks are making any complaints towards MAS saying 1 month to come out with the program and to test are almost impossible.

All these are draining me up.. 1,3 and 5 are stayed in the office till the wee hours to do testing, while 2,4 and 6 are spent in sch. How to get a life? How to do my assignment? Thank God it's the last assignment due tomorrow before the start of exams....

Just checked out my exam time table.. It kinda sucks for the 1st 2 modules.. How to study~~ Oh man, the thought of it sends chills to my bones.. But before worrying about my exams, shall 1st complete my assignment by tonight... but~~~ but~~~ (there's always a but in whatever i say.. >_<) I'm o-so-tired!!! hee~~

Exams date:
29th April - Employment Relations
30th April - Macroeconomics
4 May - History of Management Thought

Had wanted to go to the library to study, for lesser distractions and better concentration, but there was no vacant seats for me!! How hardworking can Singapore kids be? Or it has all along been that popular amongst students, just that I've never liked stepping into the library, thus my ignorance? Nevertheless, it doesn't matter...

Had KOI just now, before heading home from the library.. It was so damn frigging hot can... 

Aloe Vera Passion Tea.. YUm yum.. Had no sugar, but it still seems so sweet... but nvm, I finished it all though. Haha..!!

Had always thought why KOI is so popular amongst Singaporeans? Could it be because they allow to choose the amount of sugar you want? I don't know. Personally, I find it kinda cool as they allow me to choose the sugar level that I want...

 It had been really a busy busy and tiring tiring week for me. 

so busy and tired so that days were spent either at work or in sch. 
 
Mon, Wed n Fri were spent doing overtime. Mon worked till 930pm but reached home at 11pm. Why so?! They were absolutely no cabs in sight! Operators were engaged for all cab companies. I would have just took a bus home if I had my contact lens on. Unlucky start of the week urh. 

I am really tired!! I want to have my break real soon. So many things seems to be driving me crazy. At last, a lazy day spent at home today. ^_^ Dinner outside with family followed by a movie, Being Human (做人) starring Mark Lee, Yeo Yann Yann & Nono.   Hope it'll be nice movie yeah. It just feel great hanging around at home peacefully followed by a family outing after a long long week.

This month will be a really really busy month at work. Overtime may continue all the way till 31st March (Yanyan, this date seems so familiar urh.. *winks*). Just hope that Vincent Zhang will cooperate and share my load of work and stop bothering me!

Fri I worked till 1am! How cool~ Not that I'm super busy, but I definitely have work to do.. Main purpose was to keep Noven company. I bet she will have worked till 2 or 3 am if I didn't force her to leave lo. But anyways, it was a not bad overtime session spent. Gossips and everything just ramble ramble out from our mouths. I think I rambled way more than her (secret).. haha! 

Thursday was rather a fulfilling day for me too! Had a debut lunch with one of my colleagues and met up with an known-for-8-years online friend whom did not think of meeting us right from the start. It was really a random night. 

I think changing of seats in office (from sea view to the views of bosses) is not bad an idea though. At least now I have some, or rather minimal interactions with the higher management. Haha. Nevertheless, shall work a little harder and smarter for the next 6 months, hopefully to get some recognition. Else, think I would want a change of environment. It's either no more back office for me or no more banking sector for me. I need a change~~ 

One thing I can't stand sitting at the new seat is only Vincent Zhang. How I wish he can just be thrown far away from me and has no contact with me... Really can't stand him. Yeah, not that sitting beside him is bad. He jokes. But!!!! He is just plain irritating. Keep asking and asking questions. I kept telling him "Not that you're stupid or you don't know how to do, you're just plain lazy to use your brain to think and listen"!!! Angry lo! People already very stressed. Because of his working attitude, Noven is increasing my workload (it's not bad an idea though), it's her letting me have more opportunities. But!! With the increased workload, he is still asking me all the rubbish questions. It's just asking him to read something then write out the descriptions, like that also need me to do meh? Angry can!!! *ROAR* Anywayz, shan't think of work on my lazy Sunday...

Yippi!! Australia is more or less settled. 4 nights in Melbourne, 3 nights in Tasmania and 2 nights in Sydney. Now we're just awaiting Melbourne side's reply for our farmstay and we'll start booking the accommodation as well as the domestic flights.

In Melbourne, we will be going for farm stay near Great Ocean Road where the 12 Apostles are. For Tasmania, we will be going for B&B (aka bed & breakfast) at the Possums Apartment. As for Sydney, not planned as we wanna settle our Melb & Tas stay first. <3!
