Looking ahead - 2008
(Ok, let's face it. I am bored. And I don't feel like its time to sleep cos I woke up at an awesome time of 2.30pm)
I gave up on the new year resolution thingy cos I can't remember what reso I made by the end of the year anyway. So there's no way I can reflect and ask myself what I have achieved, hence there's no point in making any resolutions right? But I have started picturing events in the year and thought of how the year is going to be like.
2008 is probably going to be a year of travelling, if everything goes according to plan.
From now to end Feb, its going to be KPMG audit management intern. I never prefer working life but I guess with different clients plotted, and travelling the ends of Singapore, the next 6-7 weeks will past quite fast. My previous job was at Changi South Street 2 or something like that, Expo MRT station and my next confirmed job will be at Tuas. Walalala, from end to end, but at least geography tells me Tuas is nearer from home.
Chan and I are planning on a Thailand trip during my one week break between internship and mod term. We are still deciding between Phuket and Bangkok. My vote goes to Bangkok but he is more interested in Phuket so there's still some negotiation to be done there within this week while his leave gets approved.
After all that fun, it will be back to school, on a 3.5 mods mod-term till June. I am looking forward to hanging out in the libs with the rest of the Asoc big clique who are coming home!
Chancho has been talking about our June Taiwan trip since a few months ago. To reach this planning stage is already the furthest we got and I really want it to happen, regardless of whether we go Hong Kong or Taiwan in the end.
This news is pretty new. My grandparents are thinking of going over to Perth in June and Ah ma wants me to confirm with them my holiday schedule and look out for budget airline promotion and book tix once there's any. If I am garang enough, I might want to drag a friend or 2 with me to Perth and head to visit some other cities in Western Aussie on a backpack. Sounds fun?
I hope to have 2 weeks of absolutely nothing so I can go for lasik. My dad wants to sponsor me for lasik but I can't even fork out a decent 1-2 weeks for it. Hopefully, I can get it done by July. Hopefully.
I had actually hope to force in another summer internship but I have no idea how. That, we'll see.
And of course, the so-talked-about Canada exchange. If it happens, the last quarter of 2008 will be spent touring Canada and the States, wrapping myself like a fat bear freezing in the winter wonderland and missing all the people back home.
I can't wait for all the events to unfold by itself. For now, I just have to make sure that the plans wouldn't just stay as plans forever.
