Hey guys! It has almost been 2 months since school started and it has been pretty good so far. 3 modules this semester and coursework questions are out! For all 3 of them. Deadlines? They are all within 2 weeks of each other. First coursework is due 17th November which is 10 days away. Second is 30th November and the last one is 6th December. Starting to feel the pressure. Hahaha The questions seems easy but there's actually more to it than what it really seems. Like the slogan for Tranformers: More than meets the eye. HAHAHA. Lots of critical and creative thinking needed for these coursework. And reading. Not that I don't like reading. I do. I really do. But it is forced reading so there's not much motivation, you see. I don't have a choice do I? I really need to read to pass. Well, not exactly book reading. More on article and journals for academics. Well, pray for me guys. Or just wish me good luck. I really need to do well this time round. Got to be a well-

Hey guys! Finally have started school. It's Wednesday and I'm done for the first week. HAH! How 'bout that? Anyway, University life and poly is very different. Poly is like when you're about 3 or 4 years old and your mum is kinda feeding you but you also feed yourself kind of thing, you know. University is when you are 5 years old; your mother will tell you what to eat and you feed yourself. Well, at least that's what degree is like. I can't imagine people taking their Master's Degree and PHD. *Oh, and one of my housemate, the Spanish girl, sutdies PHD in marine sciences.* So, A LOT of self study which is honestly not what I am up to. I already have an assessment to do. Deadline is in 3 months and I have no fucking idea what to do. So, yay for me! And it's like 50%. I can't even... So I mentioned in my previous post that I have a housemate that already moved in before I did. For the sake of privacy, let's call him J. He's British and

It has been 2 weeks since I've arrived in the UK. So I toured a bit of London before coming to Plymouth.  LONDON I was a very boring tourist. Actually, I'm really not. My aunts are. They went to the usual places like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, etc. Which is cool but I wanted to see more such as their business area; the Lloyd's Building and all. Places not a lot of tourists go, you see. But it's alright I guess, I loved it. The Changing of Guards at the Buckingham Palace was great. There's the marching band and all. Damn, I like that part best. Hahaha. It brought back a lot of memories.  We went to the Harry Potter studio as well. Gosh! I wish I could live there! It was AMAZING! I don't really know how to explain it to you guys. All the props, the costumes, behind the scenes, the drawings, models of all the buildings including the MAJESTIC school. Greatest thing I've ever seen. I can't even begin to express my feel

Hey guys, So I have only 27 more days left till I leave for UK. Scary and exciting.  I've been working with Esprit for 3 months already. It doesn't seem to be that long. I've got 3 more weeks left of work then it's all about getting ready to leave. Everybody seem so nice over there and they keep saying that they don't wanna let me go. I had a few good compliments from the people there. Saying that I'm versatile and a good worker. I don't just stand around doing nothing. I offer assistance to my other colleagues. Apparently I could also catch the flow of what customers need. I'm deeply grateful and appreciative of all these comments. Thank you so much Esprit team.  I always look forward to working on the weekdays coz I get to work with Amiraa eventhough she only works until 5.30pm coz she's a VM (visual merchandiser). I especially look forward to working with her. And also Nadiah! She's so cute and funny. Kecoh store. Hahaha. Coming to the

So I've found myself a temporary job, a part-time job at Esprit as a retail assistant. I've had a part time job before back in 2011 when I worked as a temporary payroll assistant. But that was working in the office, 5 days a week kinda job. Doesn't really feel like a part-time job. This, working as a retail assistant, working during weekends, with so many off days feels like a part-time job. I was really glad I found a job. This job. Though I kind of feel like I was downgrading myself. From an office person who should be still working at Senat Shipping got retrenched and started working in retail. Thought I wasn't really going to enjoy working as a front liner in retail because it is way way outside my comfort zone. I was wrong. It has been 3 weeks in since I have started working at Esprit and I am really enjoying it. I really do. Serving customers (fucking strangers) and other retail stuff (you know, folding clothes and such). So far, I have not yet encountered stu

First 2 months of 2016 was good. Nothing bad happened except for the fact that I couldn't still find a house to rent in Plymouth. Come first Friday of March, my manager and I got called down to the cafe by our boss. Dropped a huge ass bomb on us. First he talked about how the maritime industry isn't doing well. Then, he goes on to saying that the company isn't doing well. Then he told us that we are going to be laid off. Retrenched. Damn... With 6 more months left in Singapore, I cannot afford to be laid off work now. 6 months may seem enough time for employers to hire part-timers. But I'm going to Bali in April. Leaving on 3rd of September and I probably need time to sort out my things before leaving Singapore for 2 years. So, that will leave me with about 3-4 months. Would any employer hire someone just for that few months?  Before the news, I could not wait for August to come so that I could finally leave the company. But I would not have thought that it

I can't help but feel like I owe people. Whenever people ask me for favours I just tell them okay because I feel like I owe them at least them. But I can't help to feel like if I have something I need to ask from them, they'll simply say no. Even if I put the needs of others before my own. Well, they don't know that. They don't know what I've sacrificed to help them. They don't know how much they mean to me. They don't know I've suffered (a little) just so I could help them. To them, I help them because they think it won't backfire on me. So they could say no if I ask them for help. Which is why I don't ask for help. Personal help. Money. I don't have lots of money. I earned to save for school. I've lost so much and one 1 person knows about this. I've lost so much I feel miserable. My parents are helping me so much but I feel like I couldn't ever repay them back. But whenever my friends ask me for help on this, I just help

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! It's 2016!! 2015 have past and damn am I glad it is. Although I couldn't run away from the unsolved problems I had then, I pray it will be resolved soon.. So on another note, I have a feeling that 2016 will be a good year. Spent NYE almost perfectly with PG (almost because Bry popped the champagne 5 seconds earlier before midnight). As long as we're together, that year will be awesome! Well, 2015 ain't that bad. It's just the year I turned 21. And I got an offer to go study overseas! And I got my Class 3 license! And yeah, that is basically it for 2015 for me I guess. Hmm, the rest are just downfall. For instance:- 1. I got scolded many times about work. 2. My company is now known worldwide and not because of good things. 3. No 2 made things worst for the company. 4. I rented a car and crashed it. Now my family is $10k down. (WORST DOWNFALL EVER) 5. Made the MOST STUPID AND WORST decision ever by saying yes to someone who asked me to
