Wednesday: School day

I woke up around 6.45 am today as I had morning class. I felt so tired in the morning. Just wanted to Zzzz till noon but nevertheless I dragged myself to school. Today is my second equity lesson. It was quite alright and I managed to speak up in class! Yes!!!! At least I said something today. Heehee....It is so stressful when class participation is 25% of your overall coursework. I got to try to talk at least once every lesson. Gambatte to myself!


After class, I met up with him for lunch. We went to Taka food court to eat. Thereafter, I accompanied him to Kinokuniya to buy the 'Dummies guide to Middle East Conflict'. We shop around Taka and Wisma till 2 pm before we walked back to school. (As usual, he complained about the distance to walk back and he sweated like mad. Heehee...)

Oh yeah, I bought a brown cardigan from a new shop called 'Cotton On' at Wisma. It costs $19.95.

We had our first project meeting for the Israel minor presentation from 3pm to 5pm. After the meeting ended, we headed to Cafe Cartel at PS for dinner.




This is what he ordered. GRILLED CHICKEN with Texas Ranch Mushroom Sauce. I like the chicken - it is very tender.




This is what I ordered. FISH & CHIPS Crispy fish fillet, fries & coleslaw served with tartar sauce. The fish is really deep fried. After eating it, I felt so sinful...


In addition, to the main course, we also top up $3.60 for free flow of breads, a drink and a soup. It was so filling. (His tummy bloated after eating it as he ate too much bread.) The total cost of the meal is $31.65. Quite reasonable for the quantity and quality.


After the meal, we went to the Cathay to watch my long waited cartoon 'Ratatouille'! It was such a nice show. I like it alot. I especially like the little mousey and his chubby brother in the movie. I had a great day today. Happy happy happy....



This is a picture of the adorable mousey who knows how to appreciate good food.

A Rainy Day

Right now, it is raining heavily outside. This cooling weather makes me want to Zzzzz....
About School
Today is my free day at home. Actually, I realised that my school schedule this semester is quite slack. I only have classes on :

Wednesday 8.30 am to 11.45 am and 3.30 pm to 6.45 pm
Thursday 3.30 pm to 6.45 pm and 7.00 pm to 10.15 pm

4 classes in 2 days!!! That leaves me a lot of time to do other things.

I keep telling myself that since this is my final semester in school, I should study as hard as possible to get good grades but I am getting lazier and lazier. I am still studying my equity since last friday. I am slow like a tortoise. Haiz.... I need to start studying my other subjects and that include Strategy and Risk Management. I have asked him to help me buy my Risk textbook. Gonna get it from him later. I am quite worried for Risk Mgmt because it seems to be a really tough subject with all those 'chim chim' mathematical formulae and also because it is a module that is taken by quantitative finance student. (Their math are very zai) Anyway, I need to stop procrastinating and get started with some serious mugging!!!

Oh yeah...I realised that I have bought the wrong textbook for my Strategy class. =( That book costs me $42! Haiz...Now I have to go down to the library to zap the correct book. What a waste of my time, effort and $$$.

There is another module which I am taking this semester - Business Study Mission to Israel. Well, many many people are quite wary about this country including myself. The reason why I am going there is all because of him. If you ask me to rank my favourite countries among these choices: Israel, Paris, Japan and China. My preference would be
1) Paris
2) Japan
3) China
4) Israel

I am very worried about sucide bombers or any sort of danger in that country. My family is especially worried about my safety if I go there. I am also not particular interested in their history (so chim and boring), politics or culuture. There is no shopping to do there as their fashion is not what I fancy. However, since I have already promise him, I will have to go to that country. Anyway, I have already paid a deposit of $500 so there is no turning back.

About my Friend
I got a great news to announce! My friend, Fangqi is getting married.I was so shocked when I read her blog. I am so excited for her!!! Her boyfriend, JM is a very nice guy and I think they make such a cute couple. So happy for them! Heehee...

About some recent issues
Recently, I joined the capitalland competition with Huiyue and Huiying. It is a competition where we are supposed to come out with ideas on how to attract people to Capitalmall. The mall that we have selected is Bt- Panjang mall. I find that this mall is quite 'Wu Lu'. Not many people go there. We have been cracking our brains to come up with some creative ideas for the competition. Hopefully our proposal will be accepted.

Another issue is regarding the Standard Charted Run 2007. I am still considering whether to join this run. I intend to participate in the women 10 km run but I am not sure if I could complete the run. I have never run as far as 10 km. Usually I run about 3 km in the park. My speed is slow like a tortoise so I am afraid that by the time I complete the Standard Charted Run, everyone has went home. Anyway, I still have a few more days to make my decision.

Pictures
Here are some pictures which I have taken last year during my trip Hong Kong with him

Me at Bird Street. You might ask why would I want to go there. That is because I was on a mission to search for some nice dragon print bird cups for 6 of my uncle pet birds.

Those stalls at Bird Street sell a lot of birds, bird cages and their accessories.

It's Dim Sum time! I love the Dim Sum in Hong Kong. It is so cheap and yummy!

My First Entry

It has been a long long long time since my last blog entry. Previously, I had a blog for my work and travel in Grand Canyon but I had not written anything ever since I came back to Singapore. That was about 2 years ago... Anyway, I have decided to start a brand new blog so as to keep track of my everyday happening. So here it is. My 2nd blog!

School has just started. This is the 2nd week. This semester is very special as it is my final semester. I will be graduating this year. So I need to make my last term in school as enriching as possible. Here are my last 4 modules in SMU:

1) Analysis of Equity
2) Business Study Mission to Israel
3) Strategy
4) Global Risk Management

I got to study harder this semester and hopefully I will be able to graduate with a good honour. Heehee...

Here are some pictures which I have taken during my summer holiday

This picture is taken at suntect city. It is supposed to capture the water foundation at the back but it it not clear.

This is a chocolate cake which I have baked at his house. As usual, it's a total failure!(Tasteless) Sobz.....
