A summary of my past week or so

1. I had my foundation program from the previous thursday to the past wednesday. The class was really nice and friendly so does the trainers especially Grace who I thought had struck a good rapport with the class. Ros and Benjie were always fun to have around while the rest such as Jean, KK, Jieming, Jade, Faizal, Ali, Zac, Crystal...and many more had all been pleasant companions throughout the 5 days. During the 5 days, I've heard from Benjie and Crystal about their dreams. Benjie wants: a condo near IR and the upcoming F1 track, a holiday at Australia to eat huge and expensive crabs, a yatch at Monaco, a whole lot of vintage wines plus a few nice cars. Crystal wants a 5-room flat of her own as well as a European holiday by the end of the year. As for me, right now I just hope to clear my study loan and my parents' housing loan...the rest see how ba. Anyway glad to have known so many "comrades" in the industry and hope we can all make it to the Million Dollar Round Table soon enough!

2. I had my NUS commencement on 070707, the day which, according to the papers, was a lucky day to get married. How ironic coz while others were celebrating with their loved ones, whether it was at ROM or NUS, I was there alone. I invited her but till the end, as expected, she didn't appear. I thought that I would be really sad and depressed but I didn't. I guess I can see things in a more open light now and anyway I still have the best wishes from people who really care for me. Back to the ceremony, it was a fine occasion. Eunice Olsen was the guest speaker and I was shocked when she said she actually retook her 'A' Levels before coming to NUS. I was really filled with a sense of pride as I went up the stage to collect my scroll, which summed up my 10 over years of academic journey. There were highs and lows and I must admit that only after entering NUS then I felt that I was really learning about knowledge, not simply facts and numbers. Being in NUS was an enriching experience and though I was a little sad with not being able to go into Honours, I can encourage myself that I'm now going to step into the University of Life and hopefully I can do well, achieve my dreams and bring a little light and warmth to every person I come across.

3. As I am writing this, I am going for my 1st opening this evening at 6.45pm. I received words of encouragement from my comrades as well as some discouraging ones from my mum. nevertheless, one thing I've come to realise is that to achieve, I must be positive and not be put down by others. I am going to be the one to decide my own success or failure, not any other.
