Transiting in Progress

Waiting for our connecting flight at Dubai now. Super busy airport, 5am in the morning and it's already bustling with activities.
Flew by the new 777 and it's definitely better than the usual 747. But I dare say SQ is better at maintaining their planes :P
Had a light breakie at the airport, going to sit down s'whr for some last min planning for our London stint.
Looking forward to arriving at Gatwick!! But hope I get some slp on board. I think I will, I'm an "easy sleeper" :)



Till the next wifi spot, cya!!

I'll wake up in London :)

Pops came over to help me complete the almost impossible task of packing last aftnn.
Managed to squeeze the a load of 11KG into the backpack.
Now I've got no space but 20 more KG to spare when I come back...



Today I'm spending the final few hrs of free time to do another form of packing: my iTouch.
I'm clearing some useless apps to make way for new ones and downloading tons of ebooks and 女人我最大 episodes :)





iTunes has apps for ANYTHING really. saving up so much space for my bag coz I dun need to physically carry a journal, money tracker, calculator/ currency converter, itinerary, maps, packing/ to-do lists, mp3 player, video player, guidebooks and story books!

Speaking of guidebooks, I just realised that LonelyPlanet apps cost USD5.99 each and I downloaded close to 10 of them when it was free :X so happpieeee

The problem now is I dunno if I sld d/l more apps for our free days in London coz there are so many ard :\

Couple more things to settle and hopefully we get to watch Iron Man II b4 we leave :)
And pray pray pray that our flight will not be affected!!



To all who are leaving for their trips soon:
Deon - Korea
Dardar - Aussie
Garvin - US
Xue Mei and Wai Kei - Hong Kong

Wish you guys Bon Voyage in advance and have tonnnnnnsssss of FUN!! :)

Packing.

Actually it's "going to pack".

XH just sent me a "packing list" and I'm filling up the list with wad I need and all.

I have no freaking idea how to squeeze 1 mth worth of stuff into the backpack (yeah u heard me, BACKPACK)... But I'm gonna try -_-

SO far so good, nth much that I need to buy, seem to have most of the stuff I need at home alrdy.

Clothes wise, have to try tmr b4 deciding wad to bring there exactly.

Lots of tights and leggings for sure.

And jackets.

Things I dun always wear in Sg :)

**But I'll still bring my denim shorts hahaa**

Couple of errands to run tmr afternoon, so I better wake up early to pack :\

And I've got no time to upload the tons of photos I have, so I uploaded them all in one combined album on FB.

And me and Poppy still wanna catch Ironman b4 we leave coz Emirates dun have it on their in-flight entertainment!! :(

Actually, I'm more excited than I sound abt the trip, I'm just overwhelmed by the preparation and packing and the lack of time I have for them despite the fact that I've already finished my exams.

Talking abt packed, here's our itinerary!!

14-17May: London
18-19: Paris
20-21: Switz
22-23: French Rivera
24: Florence
25-26: Rome

29-30: Vienna
31-1June: Budapest, Hungary
2-3: Krakow, Poland
4-5: Prague
6-7: Berlin, Germany
8-9: Amsterdam

I feel excited already!!!!! I can't wait, but ironically, I hope it's not so soon so I have more time to prepare properly for it.

Ok, I take back my words.

Just in case the flights really get delayed due to the irritating volcano at Iceland.

CHOYYYY!

Pls pray for us!!

:)

Offically EMPLOYED :)

Went to sign my apptmt letter today.
And dat was not the best part of it!

1) The HR lady was really really nice. She asked me abt my KS bag the 1st thing I sat down hahaa
2) They upped my salary during the provisional period :D
3) Aft probation period, I will be a perm staff, not 2-years contract as I thot initially
4) I was supposed to start work the VERY next day aft I touched down, but upon hearing where I'm gng and the time dat I'll be arriving in Sg, the lady FORBIDDED me to go to work on 14th. "You MUST rest for a week."
5) I made a new fren coz another girl went to sign her apptmt letter abt the same time as me. Diff dept but it was nice coz we went thru the medical check-up tgt :)))

I dunno what the work env will be like and I dunno if I'll be buried in a mountain of workload when I start working, but I can say I'm really really blessed with this opp as far as I'm concerned. And it's super amazing coz I was just telling giant I have to start work the day I return to sg and we were discussing wad a stupid idea of mine it was to tell them I can start working on the 14th. I prayed abt it last night and viola! Nth escapes God's perfect plan :)



Anw I went to Newlook again today (familiar changing room haha) and bought another dress and a pair of pumps. Newlook is seriously draining my money away :(

Met pops and his frens whom we'll be travelling tgt with in Europe.
Nice bunch!! And his frens like to shop lah I likeeee! hahaha
"aiya go until dere already, of coz must buy mah.... where is the shopping district huh?"
sounds like my mum lah :)

Met pops aft dat for LATE lunch at 4pm, aft the check-up...



I left hm early to take instant photos to pass to the HR today, and b4 dat I had to send in a soft copy, so I sent in one that pops took for me. During the signing of the apptmt letter, we took 15 mins to decide which photo shld I put on my staff pass... in the end we chose the one that pops took for me coz she thinks I look pwetty inside zzz

Gave dinner at Goodwoodpark with pops and his fam a miss and met mum for SHOPPING in the eveng instead hohoho..
Pops called to tell me abt the VERY NICE durian puff. shat, it's GWP's durian fest again -_-
But I wanted to spend more time with mum coz I'll be leaving next week for A MONTH... I'm gng to miss herrrrr :(
We had a good long chat during supper, eating KFC buddy meal hahaha I love my mum :)
I think we're both ppl who are worried abt getting fat but cant be bothered with trying to slim down...

And so it seems like everythings all good and well today yeah?
No it's not.
Coz I'm acting like I've finished my exams, even have time to blog and reply FB messages.
When I still have ONE more paper on Fri which I have not touched A SINGLE BIT.
argh!
And now I panic :((((

My best group paper

Not that I've done many grp papers in my course, but I'm really proud of this particular one:

GRADE: A+

REMARKS: In general, the paper was very well-written. It was comprehensive yet concise, organized, and the arguments followed in a logical fashion with support from empirical findings. Sufficient background was provided in the introduction. In particular, it was a good move to delineate the parameters of PS for your paper. Your proposal to consider PS on a dimensional approach was quite persuasive and was tied in nicely to your previous discussion on the different conceptualizations of PS (i.e., addiction, ICD, OCD) and potential etiological factors. The consideration given to online shopping in the section on Future Directions was both thoughtful and realistic. Overall, a very commendable effort! Excellent work!

It's not just the good grades for the paper, it's also abt getting to know 3 awesome new frens from the grp, the happy times we spent tgt chionging the proj, YIH, Tumblr, facebook photos, SMU, MS's bday celebration, our fantastic Shopping Addiction presentation :X and XLBBB!!

So thankful to have taken this module and met them :)

*now back to reality of memorising HISTORY. I hate the sound of it :(
