As you all know, I am currently doing second year in uni. Which is actually my first year. Because of certain exemptions due to being in the Singapore Maritime Academy for my Diploma. Now. I know I have not updated this blog in a while because I have been busy with school and uni is well, crazy. Crazy like busy studying and doing coursework essays and reports, crazy. Uhh, actually people here are crazy as well. So my first semester went okay. Not too bad. I did as expected for my first semester. Way better than I would've done if I was my poly self. Because my poly self is too self involved in herself that she neglects her study until the very fucking last minute before exams. So yeah. I did as good as I expected myself before coming here. Taking a step at a time. It's okay. I know that I am slow. Slow learner. So I kinda work extra hard to get to where everybody is at. A lot of people say I am just too lazy to study. But if your brain don't function as fast as other peop

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
