train of thoughts in a thinking bubble

many things have been happening in my life recently. its like a morning train, where people at squashed in every part of the cabin and there is absolutely NO breathing space? yea. that is kinda how my brain is functioning currently. Work is definitely getting more hectic with commision reports being churned out at the speed of lightning. and more calls are coming in for my section leader who is on leave so although speaking to people from bank of america, luxemburg, london, DBS finance, etc etc is kinda cool, it is also very stressful if you realise that you are speaking to pretty influential and powerful people of status here. anw, *touch wood* so far everything is going fine and i am trying my best to keep up with the work schedule without appearing like a headless chicken or a haggard housewife.

A levels results is finally out about one week ago. everyone is debating which course to go, what to do and which uni to attend. nonetheless, since i am a student, i have to be thinking about the same things as well. so what course shall i go? what do i want to do? and which university should i attend or rather, can attend? over the past two years, especially within these few days, my passion for different courses have been running wild and jumping from health sciences to social sciences to comm studies to business to accountancy to business and finance. well, one thing for sure, it is not an option that i should cancel out comm studies. my dad suggested a few things that were quite to my liking over dinner and i will try discussing with a few of my closer frenz, teachers i am comfortable with, colleagues and relatives before i make my final decision.

working world has definitely opened my eyes to see people clearer and better. perhaps some may say that i have changed, for better or for worse, but i think overall its a good effect on me. of course, some people may say others changed because they cannot stand that person becoming better so they say they become worse and there will be those who say others have become better when in reality that person has become worse because they like to see them going further downhill in life. then of course, there will always be those that tell you truthfully, point-blank in the face your pros and cons. working has allowed me to see that backstabbing is not only confined to the box you turn on every day to watch drama series and news. it is reality and it has dawned on me that it really existed. the only thing in contrast is that in real life, you cannot throw your popcorn or yell curses at the backstabber like you always do in front of the TV, which is very scary. i must say the talk i had with one of my dearest teachers has enlightend me a great deal. he probably wun rmb what he said to me but he is those kind of teachers that says little but when you ponder over the few sentences he says, it will have a big impact on you. so thank you mr joshua ng, though you are prolly not here to notice. and of cos, another to thank is ms melissa kwok. my two dearest teachers. and of course the rest shall be found in IJ. actually only one, and i miss her quite much.
but on a lighter note, it is heartening to note that my department aint that much as bad as i described above. they are nice and caring and though fierce and stern in their own ways, great colleagues. so i am contented.
i shall be going to NUS with neetha tomorrow.
i feel happy to be with her. yay.
she is one of those that will point-blank tell you your pros and cons, unless she knows the person will make a big fuss abt the cons she says...em..yea. me. so heh heh...*sheepish look* haha.
