Yet another holiday and i find myself bumming around at home..

Difference is .. for once i really tried looking for a job, in this case an internship.. Sent out 10+ emails, only 4 replied... 2 asking me for interviews, 1 rejected me, 1 asked for my resume and no reply came..

For once i've learnt that searching for a job, let alone an internship, is hard work and it sucks..
The overcrowding in Singapore has also been a pissing-me-off factor lately..

After being in a relationship, I've set appropriate goals and i think for once i can be proud enough of myself that I know what i'm doing and im on the right way.

Sadly, It seems like i'm not doing enough.. I don't know if you meant it when u said that i have no goals..

Whatever it is, i'll be trying to do some productive stuff whilst im free and i'm still hoping for Adidas to call me..

A long and gloomy holiday awaits me..

P.S Trust is hard to win.. Confidence is difficult to muster..

I wonder who still blogs these days.. For the first time in my life, i went on two consecutive holidays, first to South Korea then Vietnam right after a few days break.. In addition, I got 1 high distinction and 3 distinctions this sem and I'm really satisfied after the hard work i put in (Don't laugh i really studied hard)

It was on a whole a really fruitful and brilliant half a year...

I had intended to blog about my escapades here but i guess Facebook is a more appropriate avenue for reference.. Throughout my trips.. there were some interesting points i experienced and picked up..

South Korea
- I dyed my hair to blend in , but i was the odd one out instead, yes there are very conservative and traditional.. the juniors reallllyyy respect their seniors/elders
-Scenery there is brilliant... Weather was brilliant
-Made friends with my tour guide hyung and the photographer boy dongsaeng..
- My tour guide changed my bad perspective of tours for the better cause he was really good..
- my tua yee and tricia really don't eat a lot of stuff haha.. the meat meals we got there were delicious !


Vietnam
-My first trip alone, accompanied by my girlfriend..
-really hot.. but we got to really explore certain places like Mekong Delta and Mui ne
-still a developing country and a lot of poor people there
-kept thinking that my girlfriend was an experienced traveller, but after everything, she's still a little girl to me and i just want to take care of her..
-Rude tour guide accused me of misplacing my bag but in the end it was his fault, pissed me off. We almost got stranded in Mui Ne but saved from my nut's quick thinking and we almost got extorted money from 3 boys but saved by my wits and guts and i think they got scared off by me.. and my nut nearly lost her wallet but we went back and found it.
-On and off very interesting experiences.. some were nerve wracking, some were scary.. but we got off unscathed and i guess we were lucky and really enjoyed the trip.

I would definitely recommend going to both places, my Korea trip cost my bro 1500 for the package excluding personal expenses there.. Vietnam trip cost me 225 for air tickets and roughly 400 odd for my expenses

Mui Ne
Bumping into yang there!

Hello blog.. long time no see..

It's strange how i'm running out of things to blog about these days.. I think no one's even reading it anymore ..

Right now i'm trying to get myself to study on this cool rainy monday.. Yes i've been more hardworking ever since i got into university.. could do better though..

Was thinking ...that actually a lot of my problems are caused by my "gifted" ability to think and worry too much.. And ever ironically ..you have made me learn a lot about myself.. and i'm sure u'll continue to..

You make me realise how silly i am sometimes.. that when i try to hurt you i end up hurting myself more.. You're making me realise and change my ever present stubborness..

It's strange how i don't gauge my level of humility properly at times.. maybe i've never wanted to acknowledge my weaknesses as much.. but certain events lately have made me realise certain things..

Me.. i just want to make you happy.. be happy.. and make everyone else around me smile..
It's strange how we forget things like that sometimes.. but i know that i'll always be fine..

P.S nope.. i'm not emo-ing.. i'm just pouring my thoughts to my almost-abandoned blog

This Christmas, i went to my grandma's place for dinner as usual, but there was a difference this time round..

I brought a special someone with me.. I brought my other half with me and even though i was nervous, I'm happy my relatives were really nice to her.. I'm glad u had a great time dear..

It's so strange how life works for you, one moment u find yourself struggling and unable to find yourself and the next moment you're unbelievably happy with everything you have..

I've learnt a lot this year. One thing for sure- it pays when you work hard for what you want. And when you have what you want, Cherish it ..

Time to make your new year resolutions people. I already have mine =)..

P.S I wonder what you're doing right now nut.. I finally managed to catch a Man Utd match and we won 2-0!

It's about time i changed my blog skin. Wanted to have something more sophisticated but this wallpaper was just too compatible to resist.

So yeah, new life, new year, so i'll have a new blogskin lor..

Didn't work again this holiday, feel a little guilty because my aims were to exercise, study guitar and japanese and practise more on my guitar techniques over the holidays.. buttt

Laziness and freedom to relax can really get the better of you =)

However, Shane doesn't feel like he wasted his entire holidays.. Time spent with your loved ones is always priceless, discovering new things is always amusing.. Cleaning your room and clearing lots of stuff is always productive and "resting is also a form of training", as mentioned in the anime Naruto is definitely true to a certain extent.

Not much time left but i shall "rest" and get ready for the impending semester.. That's all for now folks.. more to come soon!

P.S Shall totally enjoy my remaining holidays, eh wait : "Everyday's a holiday isn't it"!

On a lonely rainy afternoon, i'll share something with you guys
To whoever still reads my blog, whoever has been in love/ currently in love, or whoever lacks that little bit of confidence in himself/herself..

Faith

How can I be so sure,

For one will never know the future.

As long as I know what matters,

Ill make it through all endeavors.

How can I be so sure,

That you’ll always be here.

Nothing’s for certain,

But ill make it sure it’ll happen

How can I be so sure,

That ill never suffer.

I’ll be the strongest around,

Let nothing take me down.

How can I be so sure,

that dreams never disappear.

As long as I keep believing,

Everything can be amazing.

Something simple from me, but means a lot if u see it in a bigger picture.

The settings are right, the mindset is right.. but somehow i just cant seem to get my studying going.. Maybe it's just the nature of the subjects i'm taking that makes it difficult.. Accounting shows me too many numbers.. econs has too many arrows.. Marketing has too many words and logic..

Seems like the best way is to put more hours in and hopefully convert that to effective studying.. Exams are just around the corner.. just got to push a little bit more.. and enjoy later..

I can do it.. i have to do it..
