My virgin trip to Terminal 3 was on sunday at 12am.

There wasnt much people around, considering the time that i went there.. Its big, yes. I noticed the big TCC located at the arrival hall, and the location of Coffee Club and the toilet at the Departure Hall.

The viewing mall was prolly, to view the insides of the departure hall, beyond the immigration where people without boarding passes cannot enter yet wanna have a sneak preview of the wide array of shops and even restaurants and not the planes. They have Brewerks there too. =)

I always feel proud of Singapore Airlines. Even more so when i see the familiar blue tail when i'm overseas. I would like to work at the airport if possible. The airport is a place of sadness and happiness. Sadness when your loved ones are leaving the country at the departure hall, and happiness when your loved ones arrived Singapore, and you welcome them back at the arrival hall.

Perhaps, if i ever work there one day, maybe i'll shift my house to somewhere east or get a car to facilitate myself to and from work. They have trains and Singapore isnt that big but it isnt that small either!

Anyhow, I went shopping around Vivo today and is happy with the spoils i've got. Plus i landed myself a job at the career fair! Its only three days though. I would probably need a more stable job.

For now i just cannot wait for the trip to bangkok next week.

i've finished two papers. Risk management and Portfolio management.

Risk management paper on friday was a traumatic paper for me. It's like the most traumatic exam i've experienced in my entire poly education. It took me awhile to recover from it and to prepare for saturday's portfolio management paper.

As i've studied for the PM quiz previously the complacement me learnt a lesson. I thought i would only need to revise all the formulas and all and left it to study on friday when the paper is on saturday.

It turned out that i have clearly forgotten all the formulas there are theories to study for. It stressed me out to the point that when revising i couldnt even do the simplest of the simplest question when i should know how to do it, and which formula to apply.

Fortunately, God sent me a blessing and i took a break and rested for awhile at 3am and woke up to study again at 5am. The paper turned out well, save for the theories part which could have been better if i didnt miss out that ONE important article, which i saw it one hour before the paper starts.

I shall not be lazy and shall start to study tmr for my friday's paper. But i realised i would be so busy tmr too. I'm going down to NUS to submit my application stuff. I've finally applied for NTU and NUS. Still contemplating if i should apply for SMU, but their closing date is on 1st April which means i still have quite a bit of time.

Im studying for my first paper starting on friday just now, when my mind decided to wander off once again. It went back to the times when i was in

year 1:
1. we would go off to the different canteens to eat because canteen 1 is always packed to the brim.
2. I hated to bring laptop to school because its so heavy
3. Presentations are scary
4. Wondering why on earth i am learning ms word and ppt for
5. Kinda hated going to school
6. It took me some time to adapt to new friends

Year 2:
1. Presentations are still a whole lot scary, but lesser.
2. Doing projects with different people
3. Going through a rather mundane life
4. Went overseas on my own for the first time
5. Went Clubbing for the first time

Year 3:
1. Created my first boardgame ever
2. Did a whole lot of designing stuff for projects
3. Attended IBSM Vietnam and got to know more people
3. More outings with the fun people
4. Lunch breaks would always be at canteen 1 despite the crowd because we simply got lazy of walking around the campus
5. The last time i could ever complain about exams in poly

argh. Yes, i feel so so so so much nolstagic about the past even when i am studying for my exams. The word "Graduation" is coming to realisation soon. It didnt felt like this when i was in sec 4. This time round's graduation meant much more than ever. It signifies an embarkation of a new life for me. Be it study or going to to contribute back to the society.

Definitely i would like to see more digits in my bank account. Another thing is i have yet to apply for university, because i only have one course in mind yet i'll feel guilty if i leave the other options blank.

I have to admit, whether i can enter university or not i still have another route in life. I can always work first before applying to enter again, next year.

In the blink of an eye, we're into the 42nd day of the year 2008. The Chinese New year festive season had been rather great with all the feasting and collecting of red packets. I've always heard of people going visiting but for my family's case it would be a tad different. We would all gather at one person's place and it would be it.

I realised too, that my house would be so filled with goodies that looking at that pile would just blow your mind. That's also how i get fat. New Year eve's reunion dinner was very filling i must say, and the movie P.S. I Love You is a really good show to me that i recommend all to watch especially guys.

The next two days of just visiting and mahjong session on the second day's night with more visitings to Pastors' houses and playing of Nintendo Wii on the third was good. I'm so tempted to get Nintendo Wii but it would not be as fun compared to playing with more people.

The festive season's celebration coming to an end and i have to brace myself up to study my notes for the coming exams while looking forward to the Bangkok Trip in March. =)
