ranting in the library.

Taking a break from my mugging in the library...

Library is a scary place! Almost ALL of the seats are taken up and it's dead quiet.. (except for the irritating group of pple talking right outside of the exit.. Talk SO LOUD FOR WAT!)

Also it is interesting to note all the funny characters in the library

Interesting Sight no 1.
Girls with make up and miniskirt looking as though they are going Orchard or clubbing.

Interesting Sight no 2.
This uncle who is seated a few seats away from me. Siyong and I have come up with many explanation why he is here. Damn hilarious~
Theory 1 : He's the parent of some student who is mugging in the library(prob ger). Being protective of his son/daughter and going to fetch him/her back after he/she is done with studying.
Theory 2 : He's super Zai professor who have a burning passion for teaching. He's here so that his students can approach him for consultation.
Theory 3: He's waiting for 1am so that he can open his stall and sell food to the students mugging in the library.


had a lot of fun talking about him. Whenever he leave the library we will come up with all sort of funny thing like, "oh he's going to start cooking le" haha

Received a call from Stolt-Nielsen Transportation Group Pte Ltd with regards to my internship application. Apparently NUS is kind enough to inform the HR side that examination is just around the corner and propose to them to hold a Phone interview instead of a face to face interview.(yesh lar!)
From what i gather from the phone interview, the company specialises in the shipping of chemicals, or anything liquid. The profile of what i am going to do is strictly non CE related. However as NUS does not offer any related Majors, Civil engineering is the closest they managed to get. It seems like a really interesting internship. (much better than attachment to some stupid structural company who pangseh halfway. pui!) Was told that if i am willing to learn and time permits, i might be able to sail with the ship and the head engineers to learn handon from them doing actual work on the field. Shiok lar! I think it's damn cool lor! anyway nothing is being confirmed yet as they still need to pass my CV to the head office to decide and they will get back to me shortly with regards to the confirmation of my attachment to their company for internship. Really hope i can get it. for various reasons.

1. i wan to try out something new.

2. I wan to siam reservist. Paiseh Rat and Ape and Ah Gou( notice all of them have animal nick? i also dunno why). I cant go back this year as i am fighting fit yet. i still need to get back my fitness after my operation. I cant afford to go back this year as if i were to go back, i will need to report my injury which means that i will be downgraded. I want to have the option to access for myself whether my fitness still can make it or not.

3. I want to get modular credit and experience life as a civil engineer(okay if i get this one not exactly civil related) or at the bare minimum apply some of what i learned from NUS to my work. If i were to get a part time job( which i will confirm choose Sales side), i am not able to get the same experience.

4. I want to keep myself busy during the holidays. I dun wan to nua too much during holiday. Nua will equate to me having nothing to do and start to think about stupid things.

5. I want to force myself to work in a 9-5pm environment to convince me even more that i do not want to do a 9-5pm job. To further enhance my belief and convince myself even more that i had made a right choice in working in the financial and risk industry.





Therefore pple wish me luck that will get the intern!! =)
