Another update

Results are out. I graduated. Yayy!

Heading down to KL this Thursday, up to Genting on Friday and back to Ipoh next Monday. Can't wait. hees :))

I think I have to say byebye to the YLA final round of interview. The first round of applications was easy so I thought why not give it a try? As I recall, I submitted my application right a day before the closing date prior to my finals. Heh, I should have been studying right? I know. Haha. Now, I feel a tad bit stuck between the two. A part of me says I want to make it, a part of me says its okay laa, don't need to. The reason is because it falls on this Saturday and I've always wanted to join a programme beyond my university boundaries, an outside organizer. At the same time, it clashes with my Genting trip and it would bring inconvenience (not to me but my family) to make it for the interview. Guess I'll not be going then, very likely. :/

Hoping also to get a decent job at an audit firm and planning to pursue my ACCA. I just want to get a firm that I'm happy to work for. Please make it happen!

Aside from the little voice in my head wishing to get a good job (and maybe researching further on ACCA classes), there's nothing much else to worry for now. I can hear my lecturer saying now, define good! Haha. It means to me in a personal perspective. In the meantime, I want to enjoy being at home and with my parents. So tadada

Going to eat zhong zi later for lunch. Yums

Bangkok and Styles

Already missing the trip and people. Omoo

I particularly enjoyed spending personal time with each friend individually on many ocassions throughout the trip. Like the mere exchanging of seats during our van tour was a good way to enjoy my trip with my individual friends as I could personally chat with each of them. I'll also cherish the funny memories when we excitedly crammed in the tuk tuk cars during our Bangkok trip to save on our travel fares. It was a one-of-a-kind experience. Our first ride to the hotel on our first day was the craziest of all. We had all our luggages stacked up with the 6 of us crammed in a mini tuk tuk til the tuk tuk driver couldn't see anything with his rear side mirrors. hahhaha. The one sitting at the corner of the tuktuk was also always the most challenging "seat" as it was the most vulnerable position to fall out from the tuk tuk. The way to go is to cling tightly on any steel bars for support. Haha.

I'll miss the times when the 8 of us stayed in the cubical dorm. We ate sour mango dipped with sauce and pork sausages on a friend's bed like it was a normal table how we'd randomly "bid" our turns to use the bathroom to shower too since the dorm provided shared bathrooms in the common area. Haha. How we'd walked a distance and find our way with the help of Google Map to a specific location. How we'd passed by food shops or stalls and shout at the sight of mouth-watering food! We always end up buying food for munching. I personally enjoyed sharing crepes and green latte with another friend at Santorini too in a quiet little petite shop. Shopping, taking pictures and tasting food were most of the things we did during our trip. We couldn't exactly stick to our original plan since the rainy weather came about unexpectedly but all was well throughout. My stomach must have stretched a lot as I was always either eating or walking. When we were there, 7 Eleven was our favourite convenient store. Haha. That's because the 7 eleven had quite a variety of frozen packed food which could be heated immediately upon purchase and we were pretty fascinated about that, and their tuna bread.

At the end of the trip, got some nice slippers, snacks and sandals as souvenirs as well. Yapadoo! If there were two things to check out, I would definitely recommend Chak Tu Chak market which is easily accessible by BTS to Mo Chit station and going for a relaxing massage by selecting the right masseuse. :)

There were many memorable times and the trip was fun overall. Wished we had another one in future!

Now I'm back home, having mixed feelings while waiting for my results to release. Stressfulnya.

Recently, I've been keeping up with Harry's videos, songs and interviews. :)) Just discovered Harry Styles's late night show with James Cordan. Its so awesome. Wished I could be there to be in the moment when he sang "Two Ghosts". The atmosphere and everything looks great. Seeing his face beaming from time to time when he sang with his favourite idol at another of his concert also makes me feel that its so cute. A singer making it big fangirling and wiping his tears as he sang with an older; famous band singer, how humbling it is to watch. Haha. It was the first time I could tell his expression was genuinely so happy. Whereas his interviews were sometimes hard to conclude as if he has to be careful with his words and hold back his thoughts. Besides, the instrumentals in the acoustic version of Dua Lipa's Scared to be lonely performance is another wonderful piece. Wuuhoo!
