Had a fun Sunday afternoon (as usual (: ) with my Zen/Choi Tribe at Changi Airport's T3 (: Had Popeye's for lunch and Swensen's for dessert yummmms. It was my first time there and I was IMPRESSED yet nostalgic. Impressed cos like Vic said, it looks like a shopping mall and the design is super futuristic- lots of steel and high ceilings. I was super awed by a restaurant which is at the top level of T3 which runs around a big fat pillar AND it's open-air, not covered. SOUNDS COOL RIGHT! It was. Hahaha. Walked past Harry's, which looked pretty small though. We look lotsa pics but they're in Sham's pinkish-purplish Lumix camera (hehe! OK it's her Mum's), hopefully will get them from her soon! Oh yes nostalgic because I MISS TAKING AN AIRPLANE TO GO OVERSEAS ): Shamayne felt the same way, she said she missed Japan for 3 months already. For me it's ever since Bangkok! The feeling of being in another country is soooo different and lovely. I feel like I'm entering a whole new world, creating new memories and experiencing exciting new things. At the same time, I feel so independent and free like I have no problems on my shoulders. (And secretly I hope to bump into some famous Asian stars ahaha!) Sigh, I wanna experience it all again. The Tribe is thinking of heading to Japan next year! :D :D :D Am so eggcited right NOW. I really hope it comes into reality. The saving money part wont be a problem I guess, since I'm working now but it's more of the time. I'm not sure what my next few months will be like much less next year. Sighs.
I've been rejected by SMU and NTU ): SMU last week and NTU just today. My heart sank even deeper after receiving that letter today. I dont know what I'd do if an NUS letter comes along next and drop my heart into the core of the earth (OK it's not THAT bad la I guess but yeah you do feel disappointed till that extent sometimes). Cos it's too expensive to take a private degree and/or going overseas (which I dont think I'd be considering at all). I have some options right now;
1) Apply to SIA, earn some money for two years and come back to take a Tourism and Hospitality degree in MDIS or
2) Keep researching for cheaper alternatives to get a degree in T&H (which I think is highly unlikely..) or.. I dont know.
Argh. Mum encouraged me to just start working already and stop studying cos my chances of getting into a local U is slim. I was a little shocked at that but considering both my mum and my dad's family backgrounds none of their own family members went to Uni, except for my one cousin who went to an Australian Uni and spent quite a lot there.
I really wanna keep my head up but somehow I'm losing that positivity.. Argh.
Maybe I'm not Uni material. Haha. I dont know.
OK let's not dwell in this depressing talk anymore. Maybe this is fate, I'm meant for something else. Haha.
Talking about travelling previously, I had a chat with a customer last week about life. (How general and boring it sounds right? Haha I hate talking about life issues sometimes because it's so.. general. Like, you gotta make compromises, you'll have more responsibilities as you grow older, yada yada.. That it gets quite monotonic and drony sometimes cos it's such a subjective topic.) I suddenly had an eureka moment. Like, I realised what I wanted to do in my life cos of what I've been doing and what the customer had been experiencing. He works in the cable industry and travels rather often, months at a time, to many different countries and enjoys his work because he gets to meet new people (from different countries) and experience different world cultures and it's a very interesting job and he enjoys it a lot. Then I said, You know what? That's what I want to do in my life next time too. I wanna travel. We're born in this world not to stay in just one place in our whole life. I hope to do that gradually as I grow older, I hope. I'm hoping cos I'm slowly inching further and further away from Singapore.. Thailand was my furthest. Hopefully Japan would be next (:
..And that would be one of my dreams.
Among being able to drive, get a car, start a clothing biz with the Thursday Club which we hope will be even more successful we progress, pursue a degree in T&H..
Hopefully these will be realised. Watch this space (:
