been thru 2 noc breifings in a week. got to know more about the upcoming trip. going on 5 feb, almost a week after cny. actually good, cuz get to spend cny in singapore, and the weather then would be warmer at around 10 degrees. siam tio the coldest part of the winter in china, which to me is quite good lah, cuz i lazy to wear so many clothes lol so mafan.
1st briefing was quite boring. talked about the real mundane stuff that we need to do, we need to take note of etc. then came prof teo, i dozed off within 5 minutes. and oops, i kanna caught by him lol. but well, who cares man :P
2nd briefing was organized by alumni. morning was insurance briefing. then lunch where we got to interact, within colleges and with other colleges. also had inter-colleges "networking" sessions, which actually i just went around talking crap lol. we had to paste stickers on other pple about our first impressions on them. and what i got, guess what, many of them knew i was the one caught sleeping in the 1st briefing :P hahahaha. got one even said i was brave... cuz he was sleeping too then, but i was the "scapegoat". really funny
looks like singtel coverage in nus extension wasn't good. cuz i messaged dear many times and dear messaged me many times. it was until 3.40pm then i received around 5 messages that dear messaged me. but dear didn't even receive any one of the sms-es that i have sent. luckily, my messages manage to get thru after that :P if not dear would be damn sad for the whole day :)
oh ya, yesterday was the 1st time in a long time that i took public transport :) took a bus to yck mrt station then took mrt to douby ghaut. journey back was also bus and mrt :) squeezed in the mrt :P realised the proportion of PRCs around me was really significantly much higher than around 2 years ago when i didn't have a car. but well, didn't see any bad social behaviour though except those pple who hogged the priority seats despite having some old pple standing around! well, this phenomenon seems not have improved any bit since last time.
hmm for me and dear's 15th month, i had a surprise for dear. hee. wanted to put a card in her letterbox but then the stupid letter box was locked in order to prevent flyers! who invented this kinda of mechanism? what the hell! lol. spoil my plan lah lol. in the end i had to settle for putting the card outside her house and i had to stand by around her house for around 1 hr plus to make sure the card was stolen or blown away lol. actually before that dear was a bit sad cuz maybe she was thinking of me leaving. then she eventually cried when i wished her happy 15th month. see her cry i was a bit sad too, but then i still manage to comfort her a bit :) Dear, believe me that i will come back for you :P
yesterday had quite a nice talk with one of the seniors, Weileen, from noc shanghai. well, talked about our ideals and stuff like that, as well as some of the latest business opportunities. well, there's definitely something that is correct. it's at no cost to think about what i want carefully. i think it will take some time, but i guess it's worth it as it will help me identify a certain direction in life. i guess i have the time to do so, and i think it would help me shape how i work how i interact with pple in shanghai as well as when i am back in singapore :)
