wonderful weekend

saturday

in the morning, my house had a chinese new year party. my parents god children came over to bai nian and for lunch. and one of my "god sister" actually asked me a question that have been asked so so many times. which was "how is your course?" and my reply was "i'm enjoying everybit of it, definitely i've chosen the right diploma right industry." she said "that's good" so i asked her "what degree are u taking right now?" she replies "degree in life sciences in NUS" so i was like "wooohhoo!" but she quickly stopped me... "i think i'm regretting taking this course, cos it is so boring, when i flip the books i just feel like going back to sleep" so she asked me what do u plan to do after graduating? Oh boy! in less than 50 days i'll be out of school... hopefully graduated successfully.. i'm in a dilemma. to work or to study? which one? i donno.. altho i want to work but at the back of my mind i want to go overseas to study my degree! but if i want to study... what degree? a hospitality and tourism degree ? or a business degree??? my mom wants me to carry on my studies, she says to finish it once and for all.. my dad wants me to study as well.. however everyone noes to go overseas to study it is expensive than local niversities fees.. so that's one of the point i'm considering. TO WORK? SIA or Raffles Hotel??? i called Raffles today the valets... and i'm so happy to talk and hear their voices again! so my boss was asking me "Grace when are u coming back??? can come back next week or not? we need u?" so i replied "sorry boss, this two months will not be a good time, cos i've so many other project submissions to submit.." and she replied in a joking manner "what a waste, impart so many skills to u and groom u all for nothing.." altho' its a joking manner i was taken aback. cos what i am today... so passionate for service for the hospitality line is becos they "Raffles" made a difference to my life and shaped me to what i am today. i am really tempted to go back and be part of them.. but i can't make up my mind. i donno what in the world i am thinking. but one thing for sure... i'll return to Raffles one day. Seems like i need to make an appointement with my advisor to ask her about further education... and maybe make a trip down to IDP office to make further enquiries..

After the lunch and chit chat session, went down to town to meet cuz lydia and javern over at wisma. i wanted to get a new ripcurl wallet for myself, cos mine has torned... and yeahey! i got my new wallet over at Pacific Plaza =) so happy! we walked to forum's spinelli for a drink.. i drank this fruitti-t twist, that's really the name. as the name says its a fruit and berry infusion drink. very nice! i prefer fruity ice-blend than coffee (",) after which we walked to Paragon for dinner, at Thai Express... oh my goodness. their softshell crab is just heavenly, and thai tom yam seafood noodle was so so so delicious.. *burPs! went over to taka to get some royce chocs, shopped a little and headed home!

Sunday

Went for morning mass with cuzy, after which she came over to my place for lunch. after lunch she went off, and i went to meet rebecca for movie. we watched " A million dollar baby". really good!! altho' haf of the time had to explain to her what they were saying.. they had a strong accent and we couldn't really catch it. ha! but its good! the actress is very good! she deserves the Best Actress title. Hilary Swank. We chatted a lil' abt our life, and i realised my this very good friend of my ever since secondary always have boyfriends who are jerks, hurts her one time after another. now we are in different sch but when we meet up to catch up, she would be nursing this broken heart. but something i admire her abt, is her ability to love again. to think that every person has something good in them. on top of mind, i feel like kicking each of the guy that hurt her, those who came out with lame excuses to break up, those who do not appreciate their gf for who they are, those who tinks girls shld be the one who shld sacrifice for their bf. such assholess. it takes two hands to clap. not a one-sided relationship. oh whatever, relationships are such a pain. maybe cos of hearing so much unhappiness, hurt, quarrels, misunderstandings from my friends, that i'm feeling so pessimistic abt having someone.. but till i meet someone, i can depend on myself. =)
