Well, I haven’t been updating much cos I’ve been so occupied with… STUDYING! Hahaha. In fact I think I’m doing pretty well this semester! I guess not getting to go US for exchange the next semester (cos my GPA isn’t high enough) really made me focus more on studying and getting my GPA up before I try to apply again next semester.

Anyway, I received 2 mid term results today and I’m really pleased! Also received a call for an internship interview from RBS. Though the internship isn’t in the finance area (I’ll be interviewing for an operations role), I guess when we’re at week 10, it’s time to be kanchiong and kiasu and just take whatever’s offered to you. After all, we’re only year 2s and in SMU there’s plenty of other opportunities. Even if you don’t do a summer internship, you can do a semester internship or a winter internship (1 month). So I guess there’ll always be opportunities to hunt down the ideal internship. For now, let’s just get the lack-of-internship-stress out of us and enjoy whatever’s presented to us!

Shot with a $10 broken lens, yes B-R-O-K-E-N, but still usable if you are poor- like me.

Awesome performance from the SMU Dance Club

What do you think?

Oh. The performance was held at Victoria Theater, I sat right in the the first row-from the back.

I must admit I had benefited from Samantha’s new phone and subscribed data plan. Without having to log in to Wireless.sg or other wifi hotspots, we can now check movie timings and parking rates on the go! Of course, whether or not the extra premium paid justifies the conveniences are debatable.

On the other hand, for those anti-iPhone people out there, i think it’s time to move on and stop slamming iPhones, if anyone is prepared to pay a premium for some degree of convenience, it’s totally his/her choice.

Supper @ West Coast’s Al Ameen

We paid a visit to the nearby reservoir. I know the first picture looked surreal, but it really is a reservoir! Not really sure why there were those floating platforms though…

I’m glad i took the shot because i rarely get to shoot “landscape” photos (even if it means pseudo-landscape like the one above)

Remember that time i told you ling has an ever changing form?

Orchard Central, ALMOST a stone throw away from where i study.

Some images for sharing taken earlier this week

Big blue skies *love love*

Managed to see the petronas twin tower for the first time

Mist… Clouds… or Smoke?

Miniature set

Never managed to try out the outdoor theme park as the trip was really short…

Well, it’s already the middle of week 5, and the projects are starting to come in already. Need to study harder :(:(:( Also need to start applying for internships already. It’s scary seeing how competitive it is. GARRHH! NEED MOTIVATION!

Anyway, will try to do up the photos from my Batam trip! It was awesome! All thanks to Ivan (L)! He helped to plan and pay for the whole trip, BEST BOYFRIEND IN E WORLD! Hahahaha.

Can’t wait for Chinese New Year! ($.$)

Love, Samantha

So anyway, a week ago, Ivan and I revisited Raffles Marina. I think it’s really nice to go back there, because when you see all the yachts, you’ll wish you owned one, and then there you have it, motivation to last you one more week. Hahahaha.

While we were there, there was a new resident yacht! It’s a yacht but designed like an apartment! I don’t think the owner plans to drive it out, cos it has like a bbq pit upstairs, chairs on the outside, lamps, curtains, etc.

Going overseas this weekend! Yay!

Love, Samantha
