Haven't been blogging for more than half a year! I would be surprised if anyone still visits my blog haha. Anyway, I was really bored this afternoon, and I suddenly thought of this blog that I created previously. After reading through, lots of memories flowed back, be it good or bad.. And here I am, decided to continue writing while I can still vaguely remember what I've been doing for the past months before age starts catching up on me :P
My last entry stopped at pondering whether I should apply for Masters. That was really donkey years ago! So, here are my latest updates! I have gotten into Double Masters Program in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and I obtained the scholarship from TLI-AP! The thought of going US to study really really excites me, even though I know that there are certain stuff that I need to leave behind in Singapore.
For the past 6 months, I worked at Perx, which was my former interned company. I must say, the work experience was indeed memorable. Being in sales was something that I would never imagine myself in, since I really dislike people trying to hard sell their products to me. However, after working and under the guidance of Andrew (a really awesome boss albeit bad-tempered occasionally), I totally changed my perception about sales. In fact, it is a useful skill that I can apply even in my daily life (which I do sometimes heh). From cold calling to meeting up with the marketing managers of various companies made me realize how conservative some companies are, and how resistant they are to changes. And I certainly have a good idea of all the F&B groups in Singapore haha..
Learning points aside, I really enjoyed being with the colleagues - Claire, Grace, Ashley, Jon, and the newly added Roxanne, oh and not forgetting the interns Natalie and Joey. We had lots of fun together, deciding on which restaurant to go for Blue Day, and what interesting promotions we could do for individual companies. Andrew was also open enough for me to voice my opinions! I certainly can't find such experience elsewhere :) Really loved to continue in the company, but after pondering, I decided to leave. I am truly tired of being in sales, so much that I decided to further my studies in the most back-end job - supply chain haha.. Perhaps after studying for 1.5 years, I might change my mind and go back to work at Perx again! You'll never know :P
In terms of friends, yep I managed to catch up with most of my friends for the past months, certainly some more often than the others. I even took graduation photos at MBS with my chem eng clique! That's really cool, especially since we looked like exhibits in front of the tourists haha.. I am glad to know that most of my friends have stable incomes, and some are even getting married! I will be attending Yong Kai's wedding tomorrow.. Gosh, wonder when will my turn be! Definitely not within these few years hahaha
Speaking of which, a lot of people have been suspecting my status with someone. Even my family is curious to find out more, and they can't wait to attend my convocation ceremony next Fri just to see how he looks like -_- I guess the suspicion arose as there was a point where we met up weekly and intensely whatsapping each other. He also helped me settle some of the troublesome Masters application procedures. I must say, he has been a really nice (and good-looking haha) guy and it's been great hanging around with him, but it is not wise to be with such a person, especially after knowing him inside out. I guess platonic will be the best solution for us. So, time to look out for other trees!
Last week, I just came back from Taiwan after experiencing the life of a nun. It was a really interesting trip. It made me believe in karma and reincarnation much more strongly, and less troubled over the issues I am facing now. I've certainly become more zen after returning! Hopefully I can maintain this level of calmness when I approach more severe problems in future :)
My schedule tonight and tomorrow is crazily packed! Meeting up with Perx colleagues followed by playing beer pong at one of my NOC mates' house haha.. Hopefully I won't get so drunk till I miss Yong Kai's big day tomorrow morning! It's also convocation for medicine students, so 5 of my S11 classmates will be graduating woohoo!
