bah, career choices is such a pain in the ass.
I know going audit is natural. But after hearing so much horror story about it, im beginning to think twice.
Banks seems to be a good place to start. High pay right off the bat. Furthermore, i may have the luxury of backdooring into one of the european ib. However, i just not so keen on it. Yet.
And as luck would have it, position for CAO in CAD is opened. Itched to apply, but the application seemed to be for graduated student only. Sent an email to check if graduating students can apply. but i shall keep my finger crossed.
All in all, i have no idea what i wan to do for my first job. >_<. Frustrating isen't it.

It has been an awesome 2 days. Celebrating birthday with my dear.
The celebration started on sat, whereby we went to secret recepie with jer in tampines as dear said that she got cravings for secret recepie. So me and jer shared the cost and we had 3 cakes there. After which, we just went home to rest and sort of 'count down' to her birthday. But of course, the countdown did not really happen. Ha

The next day, we went church in the morning. The church fella did a small celebration for the birthday people before sunday school. Followed by a nice lunch in ION. One of the jap restaurant. Think it is Sho Teppan or something. The food is really good. But its a bit pricey. So no regular eating for me. I will put up the pictures soon. Really like the concept. Have decided that next time, my house dinning table shall have an built in electric stove for simple cooking pleasures.
Afterwhich, we went to the aust uni fair in Orchard hotel. Took a look at UQ and Sydney. The melbourne personnal was too stuck up, so we decided to give it a miss altogether. Seems like she have decided to got to UQ. Since they are pretty prestigious in the field that she want, and she get 1-1.5 year cut from the normal curriculum. I hope its 1.5 then she would not have to be gone for too long. Haha.
Next, we went to bakerzin in paragon to stuff ourselves with tons of desert. Loads of icecream and 1 blueberry cheesecake. Will put up the pictures later.
After that we went to joe house to catch man utd vs liverpool. Played some really stupid blackjack game. Whereby we each bet 1 cup of water, and the loser have to drink up the water. Healthy living eh. Well, in the end liverpool won the match. Amanda was pretty devastated by it. By oh well, you win some, you lose some. And chelsea is still TOP! so i have no complains about it.
After that, both of us went home. So i hope it was a marvellous birthday for you!

sometimes i feel really useless in the sense that i have no income, and thus, unable to satisfy certain spending habits that her friends are able to shower her with.
which in someway, induces me to want to start work early, to earn more money early, so that i can lavish her earlier.
But, that is not within my control. If things go accordingly to plan, by the time i have money, she would not be here for me to lavish on anymore.
on another note, the 6th of nov is coming in another 2 weeks time. hopefully, things will be better for me, and we can close this chapter in our relationship and move on to other things.

sometimes im quite amazed at the things i do. for the simple reason that most of the things that i chose to do simply are irrational and illogical.
For example today,
woke up with a sore throat and bad flu. Dripping whole day. Yet, i insisted on going church to settle some accounts stuff. The journey there was horrible. Doing the actual account was still ok. But after the accounts, things get worse. Headache sets in. Feels bit giddy and light headed. Was deciding if i should stayed on for cell. Friend told me to go home, GF told me to stay. So i stayed, went to Macs at anchorvale CC. Grabbed a burger, and i took a nap there till 6. Woke up, still feel quite dizzy. Walked back to church to wait for cell to start. And finally cell started after anguish waiting. Had the impulse to cab home on 208502370225th occasions. But decided against it. Cell leader offered a ride home. I declined. He sent me to compass point with the rest. And i endured the journey home. Took a quick shower.
Now im waiting for someone's sms reply. But somehow feel that she is too busy enjoying her supper. maybe she forgot that im sick. its been half an hour since my reply to her. [apparently she said tat she did not receive my last sms to her.]
I would want to feel cared for in my sickness. Just an sms to show care and concern would be nice enough.
Still feeling horrible. hoepfully, things will be better tomorrow. hopefully.

The Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle.
When 24 hours in a day is not enough,
remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly,
he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar,
and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full... They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar...
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded With an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table,
and poured the entire contents into the jar,
effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life..
The golf balls are the important things: God, family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions -
Things that if everything else was lost, and only they remained,
your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house and car.
The sand is everything else - The small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life..
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
you will never have room for the things that are Important to you.
So... Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.Take time to get medical checkups.Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
'Take care of the golf balls first - The things that really matter!
Set your priorities... The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand,and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.'I'm glad you asked'.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
