Random Bits

Let me see...it has already been exactly 14 days since I last ended my exams. Quite a lot of stuffs had happened within this 2 weeks it seems. I got into a minor car accident, gotten a little closer to adeline only for me to screw it up over the weekend, finally book my tickets to seoul on the 19th july( dun worry sam, will still wish u with photos =P) and I think most importantly, that I am seriously going to shift house in a year and a half time. This time, its no fluke. My dad already paid the down payment and signed the mortgage loan agreements already, so I can say 70% shifting unless something dramatic happens. So, yeap life had been quite some ups and downs for me. These 14 days that is. And one more thing, How could I forget?? Finally gotten my S3..haha..thats a huge plus point for me..heehee

Oh and just a heads up, I will be upgrading in prestige of being able to stay in a condo in sengkang but will be downgrading in the size of the apartment, bloody small. But, actually the location ain't that bad cuz its just right at the edge of punggol park and sengkang, so its still near to serangoon lo. If got car, damn fast and accessible. If not.....prepare to travel and wait abit. =.= . And the condo is called Austville. So you peeps can check it out if you are interested.


Because of the above mentioned events as well as the Gaming Time that I spent on Football Manager. Well it didn't quite provide or give me the time to sit down and actually well...have a HTHT with myself. Oks, I think you can guess where this is heading to already. Recently been slowly getting back into the reading arena, been picking books from tolkien and murakami. And the game of thrones series as well. Seriously, I think gaming really hold no significant utility value for me. I might be absorbed in a game for a period of time, but once the novelty dies down and it became more of a process, I will just chug it one side. I like reading better, usually once I read and if the books are really delightful, I will truly enjoy it and write a  review about it.

This is a random paragraph here. as I am trying to think about the past and you know evaluate all my life as a student etc, I don't really have a particular need to blog about that. Maybe its most probably due to my excessive evaluations in the past? Or it could just be that I feel there is no more need for me to do that anymore. I am more interested in the future now. 24 years old and growing.

I think outside school, society is a totally different game altogether. Different rules and the various motives of people also increased. The feeling of needing to get income to sustain a particular level of consumption in life. Of course, the need for a partner is still there. Though I guess it doesn't really have much of an impact on me as compared to the past. Or maybe its just today where those feelings are being override by the stronger emotion of survival?..who knows?

I noticed that CFA singapore finally launched the dec intake schedule and I am considering whether I should really take 4000 of my parents money and study for the course. Or should I wait till i am in a financial institution and get them to pay for me instead? Like a friend who told me if you are not so sure, then why take up the course? However, after helping my dad looking at interest rates and reading graphs and explaining certain terms to him and all...I felt a fire or smthg in my heart and I realise that actually I kinda like finance. Obviously, I never like those complicated formulas and stuff but the theoretical and the analytical aspects of finance.

People says that finance is your ticket to riches, well in a way, they are not wrong. I always thought of working for the portfolio or investment arm of banks and then make truckloads of money...and that I will be able to stay in CBD area, with a reasonable luxury car( no, it aint a ferrari...that brand tarnished already). Somehow, nowadays, everytime I try to spur myself with those dreams, it just kinda doesn't work for me already. Rather I think as long as I will be busy and doing something meaningful in the future and have a decent lifestyle, I think thats kinda enough I guess.
