Dear Ernest

My dept needs help. Can you ?
Hear from you.

Best regards,
Manager

Best,
Ernest

Much as I would like you to come by and help us but your stay with us is a little too short. I needed someone who can stay with us longer and in the meantime I have found a candidate who can start work immediately. It would be easier on the dept since training is required.

Ernest, so sorry I am unable to have you on board this time round and trust you understand. Hopefully, when you finally graduate, or maybe in your next exam break, we can have you with us if there is job opportunity.

Hope to you see you sometime again and in the meantime, have a good holiday.

Do pop by when you are free, maybe we can have lunch ?

Thanks very much for offering your help.

Best regards,
Manager

Hi Manager,

No problem, I was also worried that I do not have time to do my Final Year Thesis this holiday.
Thanks for the opportunity and I'll come by for lunch sometime soon.

Best,
Ernest

I was supposed to part time at HSBC for my ex-manager to gain some cash for a month.
Oh wells, no money but time for FYP and friends.
Way to look at it, money can be earned back but not time.

Exam doesn't kill you (stronger)

"What doesnt kill you makes you STRONGER, stand a little TALLER, doesn't mean i'm LONELY when i'm ALONE"



Kelly Clarkson's What doesn't kill you (stronger) rang in my ears after my last paper just now and i feel totally awesome!!! Exams dun kill me! Neither does it make me taller.

This exam period was too long! I had a week long break in between when I did a lot of stuff like watch Tintin, bake, read comics, library and stuff. I hope I don't get punished with a C!

This is the 2nd last time I'm gonna have exams! Felt kinda sad thinking about it, I have so much free time to do what I want during exam periods. No project, no homework, nothing except information in the head. I can pack my stuff, rearrange my clothes, read comics, watch videos, pack my notes, exercise, more bedtime. I'll really miss exams.

I didn't have insomnia until yesterday, went to bed at 1.30am and I was still staring at the ceiling at 5.45 after I heard the sound of the first train. Totally terrible. I think it was the sprint training in the evening when I was training for my 2.4 that filled my brain with oxygen. Good thing is my paper is at 5pm.

I feel so awesome now.
I shall enjoy it until results are out. HAH

November presents 2

Yay! I've got another freebie again. HAHA.



Yea all the money that flew away will come back to me in one way or another. The principle of equivalent trade.

Money flew away in a red packet yesterday when I went for Nigel's wedding. Good thing I had backup money to top-up when I did market research with my other army friends about how much to put inside. Now I wouldn't stoop to the scrooge's level. Haha. Pride and face.

The dinner wasnt too bad at all!
Meeting up after 3 years wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be and some guys never change with age. heh. I loved the Yam paste dessert so I'm gonna try make it myself when there's yam.

Its time to bake again! All my baking stuff are expiring by Dec!!! Argh!!! I'm gonna have so many cakes after exams.

11 more days to my first paper. Jia you jia you.

November presents

November comes like a birthday. I had so many surprises and presents on the first day itself.

#1 The night before met woon for ice cream, she gave me a box of Tokyo Bananas from Japan! yay! but the matcha ice cream costs me insomnia till 4am.

#2 Lifeng just found a website that I can download graphic novels, both Marvel and DC. No need to wait for library books! Comics everyday for me!

#3 NTU gave all final year students quite a good goodie bag! Redbull, coffee, lotsa tea, tee-shirt, Frolick voucher, writing pad.
The best thing: No queue!

#4 Somebody is brave enough to let me trim his hair. OMG.
But I'm not new to cutting hair coz I used to trim my own and I have been observing my hairstylist for years and getting tips here and there from her.

And it turned out better than I expected! No uneven lines or what, just a neat trim and he's satisfied as well. =) mutually beneficial. He saves money I gain experience.
I provide good service ok. Free showering facilities and free food and "extra service". hahah.

Look forward to more cutting!

#5 Stef Sun replied to my tweet!!!




#6 It was sunny in the afternn and I was gonna regret not going swimming when it rained so heavily that the bed never felt so good. Half hour nap.

#7 Once upon a time and Walking Dead new episodes came out! woohoo

Happy day!
Happy November everyone!
All the best for my exams!
