Spring is here

Can't believe that March is almost coming to an end. These past weeks have been so eventful it is hard to believe that it has only been almost 3 weeks since I came back to Japan.

Quick update: I've been job hunting! Crazy as it sounds, I've decided to work first, gain some pratical experience before I go back to graduate school in the next 3-5years, perhaps. Rounds of interviews after interviews, submitting application sheets and getting rejections... what a mentally and physically exhausting time! I am already considered to be late, missing many foreign companies' deadlines. So far the companies that I have applied are mainly Japanese firms with international fame in the area of banking and consultancy. No idea where I would end up, but as long as I do my part, I can only trust God to lead me all the way.

Can't wait to get this job hunting out of the way. Once April starts, I'll be juggling classes and an internship with BBC! Just the Tokyo news bureau, a rather small one, but still cool all the same. In any case the internship is a trial, to evaluate me for further opportunities. At least something positive after I got rejected by Bloomberg, boo.

So much more to let out from within me, but I'll stop for now. Can't get my thoughts concentrated. Until next time!

CNY in M'sia

It was great to be back in M'sia. Although only for a short 2 weeks. Except for my younger sister who was stuck in Swiss for her internship, the other members of the family came back. As usual, I ate and ate and ate... It the beginning, when everyone saw me, they went:"You lost weight! What happened?" But towards the end my mom said that I'm starting to put back on the weight.. oh no! LOL

I met up with my long time friends too, who went to Australia, US, UK and Germany. So swell to see everyone! It was interesting to note that our conversation was more serious than before, we ended up talking about long lasting relationships, jobs, income tax(!!) etc. What a difference from the old days, when we talked about uni and our future. Guess we must be growing up after all!

To stretch CNY thin, I brough back all the yummy goodies to enjoy here.. lol... 新年快楽!
