Happy New Year!!

the last day of 2010. Year 2010 has definitely been awesome :) there were moments 

kicked off the year with the celebration of my 22th birthday with my boy :) one problem about long distance relationship is that we always miss out some meaningful and memorable moments whether of him or mine. thanks for being with me this time and the things you'd given up to do so :)

This year i officially done with all the extra-curriculum activities. I have got enough ECA points for my final year accommodation application, so the life of burning the candle at the both ends is not anymore. Finally can get a life!! 

2010 is a year that is very compact. Since the beginning of the 2nd sem of the 3rd year uni life, i got to handle a harder study, apply for summer internship thingy and deal with the dramas that came along with.. 2 days after my final exam immediately reported to ANZ( Australia and New Zealand Bank Corporation Group) where I had full nine weeks of internship, boarded on the flight to Europe on the last day of my internship, spent the remaining summer holidays with my loved ones and returned to the school one day before the term started ahahaha.

What makes 2010 so great one of the important events must be the intern experience at ANZ. Even until today i am still questioning myself that how the heck did i manage to get into a big multinational foreign bank like this?? It was like Alice in wonderland, i was in the real world of banking, explored those investment expertises, had a clearer mind on what i am actually interested in, knew more about myself and my potential, not to mention that i met a bunch of awesome people especially the pretty young ladies in the fx dealing room.. they were like my big sisters alway look out for me, we shared stuffs tgt, a simple tiny thing like annoying orange or wassssssabi could make us laugh, we gossiped like there's no one's business, we invented  emergency codes to back up our bad acts... although we don't get to see each other often but i know the moments with them will always be in my heart :)

Another memorable event, my 40 days Europe trip :) with the loved one we been to the happiest place on earth, witnessed the first victory of Spain in FIFA world cup with hundred thousands of complete strangers. we sang, we cheered, we celebrated :) we also been to the most romantic city Paris, filled with admiration by the magnificent and fascinating  historical world famous buildings and monuments. We explored the historic Praha, strolled across the ancient Charles Bridge, walked through the cobbled narrow streets in the Old Town, enjoyed the stunning architecture and scenery. We also been to the legendary Santorini, seen the one of a kind of her natural beauty, seen the most splendid and romantic Oia sunset, white-washed sky and crystal blue Aegean sea..

Back to reality after the trip, i welcomed the final year of my uni life. Final year can be very relaxing because instead of 6 subjects we used to take, now we only left 3 or 4 subjects for the remaining semesters. Final year can be very busy as well because we are occupied by the stressful final year project. So the latter part of my 2010 is basically about the study and the project. and also the constant travelling between Singapore and KL larr hehe cause the bf is back to Malaysia for good :D i am content :) although most of the times we are still apart but at least we are in the same time zone now :)

The last momento of 2010, the high-strung, destructive, and uncontrollable Xiaohei but always fill me with joys :)

2010 is awesome, i hope 2011 will be a kiss ass year too :) cause after all we all are gonna die in 2010 anyway ;P

My resolution of 2011: to be more appreciative of my loved ones before it's too late. As we age, we tend to take the people around us for granted. We forget to tell them how much they mean to us because we expect that they know :) Also!! hope for the best in the final semester in NTU. In any time soon there will be a new chapter in the book and the future is in our hand :)

When today is gone, be thankful for the moments, and we keep moving on. Thanks for making up my wonderful 2010 and have a happy new year everyone!!

the fire is on!

wow. second day of work and i was late.DANG!!
did i mention before tat my lollipop sucks? ohyea it sucks!
after it has been used for one month somehow it starts to hang or automatic off by itself occasionally.and totally unexpectedly. Dang Dang DANG!!!!
and then it failed to wake up me up this morning. u know i just suddenly jumped up from the bed and noticed that it was already 830 in the morning
i swear that i have never felt so panic and lost before! in the next second i was like screaming and rushing to the toilet to brush up and rushing back to the room,grabbed some clothes on and rushing to bus stand in HIGH HEEL. rush rush rush rush rush!!!
so i got on a cab at 8.37am and i was kinda praying for no heavy traffic on the roads so that i could reach my office in time but anw despite the driver has done his best to get me here Asap, but i only gotta reached around 930am. luckily my supervisor NOT IN YETt!!!hhuuuu....and my senior got nth for mee to do so i am just scanning those wall street journals.. and blogging.. too bad that the company has banned all those hotmail, instant messanger, proxy, facebook, etc etc /.\


ps: after the cutting off of my dinner last night i feel that my pant loosen a bit hehe.okaay continue keep fit!!encourage me to continue cut off my dinner :DD

明天继续加油!

还在等着laundry,就顺便继续blog下去好了。还没开始intern之前的心情是很忐忑的,有时候准备考试准备到一半,突然想起考完试紧接着就要开始intern,心中那份不爽快比起之前不知道能不能够pass stats几乎是有过之而无不及。今天一去到公司,supervisor就叫我开始看Wall Street Journal,真的让平时很少follow时事而且特别是financial方面的我真想把整叠报纸都跟他烧成符水喝下去。真的很怀疑平常每个sem选课都尽量避开finance的我到底要怎样在这里混两个月。哎。而且今天看的这种articles差不多是我过去三年的总结了。在ntu读书的时候啊,一个sem做几份projects和assignments,每天翘脚翘的多自在, 结果supervisor assigned 我一份report,而且还要下班前交,感觉就是一天里面要挤出一份平常可以用一两个礼拜慢慢来做的assignment。-_____-'' 而且竟然内容还是要forecast这个礼拜investment market的走向...虽然那些indicators(eg. PPI, CPI, Unemployment Rate, Interest Rate, and many many indexes) 大概大概都知道是干嘛的,但真的还没有试过apply在未来 :S 结果也不知道哪一个重要哪一个该省略,整个做不完..读书真的归读书,要实际运用在工作上还是一道很深的学问。午餐的时候整个超级不想回去做的。aiks aiks。但老实说,internship真的是一个很好的学习机会,看个人有没有那个心啦。不过话说回来整个investment department只有我一个intern的感觉也不太愉快就是了。很怕一个人被骂 /.\




PS:本来想说问问supervisor可不可以带几份journal回来catch up一下,结果supervisor的回答是:“不用那么辛苦啦,明天来才看,回去好好休息,当个快乐的intern就好” D': /无限感动

intern企划开始咯 - 交通篇


话说昨晚因为太紧张而睡不着,结果4点半上床,六点半又起来了,啧。早上起来算一算时间,泡麦片装水10分钟,等bus 10分钟,坐bus 20分钟,等mrt5分钟,坐mrt 31分钟,走路等电梯15分钟,所以大概是要1个半小时才可以到公司。今天第一天总不好迟到,结果真的算得很准7点20分出门8点45刚刚好到公司。之前还在笑朋友6点才放工,结果真的自己要做到6点15分。放工的时候见识到新加坡到底人口有多稠密,整个mrt有让我回到初一坐宽柔校巴上学人挤人的恶心场景。幸好supervisor对我不薄,听一听我住的那么远就准了我延迟半个小时报到,cool!

Lemon-watever-it-is.

经过了忐忑不安的一个周末

lemon事件(pls refer to this if you do not know what it is.)终于有了结果

校方代表今早用极致冷酷的语调打电话通知我,

“现在给你两条路走,

一就是接受现在2nd phase的这个offer,

二就是你可以退出这个professional attachment的计划,以私人名义去接受RBS的offer。

也就是说不会计分,也无法给与official的5个学分,

请正午之前给我回复。” 



算你狠。f***

这个aunty真的很可恨

态度那么差

又不是我做错什么

而且还整个monotone,一点情绪都没有,真是冷酷到家



所以很明显的无论是哪一条路都是非常难下的抉择

如果选择小公司的话,

可以clear掉5个aus,

那么我的final year就可以少拿两个subjects,

而且假期的住宿也不会有问题。

如果选择RBS,

同理final year就要拿多两个subjects,

虽然说多不多说少不少,

但是如果没有这两科也的确是少了个负担;

再者,因为如果不列入学校的official academic programme,

假期拿到hall的几率是少之又少。



anyway,其实我已经replied了双方人马,说那么多也没用。

为了长期着想,我还是接受了RBS的offer,

当然上天是公平的,

没有任何事情会事事顺心,

既然做了选择,事情带来的甜和苦不管怎样都还是要承担下来啦。

所以证明有时候真的是塞翁失马,

麻烦有些人啊,

不要一直在我背后讲我zomo酱好运拿到两个offer阿。

是好是坏不到最后真的无法定夺。


天降大任于斯人,必先苦其心志,劳其胫骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身。

然后知生于忧患,死于安乐阿。

这样安慰自己就好过一点了。

所以拉,给那些还没找到工作的朋友,

自己要争气啊,机会是自己争取的,然后也不要太在乎得失就是了。

传到桥头自然直呗。
