Jack of all trades, master of none emphasized

Currently slacking my time away..

just going to the gym for less than an hour, went for less than a round of jogging outside my condo.. Didn't swim even cause my left arm ached as i tried to train it up..

I really want to just play fable on xbox the whole day but definitely would run into trouble with my mum so i just keep to my small room @ the back of the house (also once known as the 'maid's room')

Even if gaming is all I do, there's always someone better (or rather, i just s*ck so badly) so i guess it's a starting point to get myself thinking and start doing other things that are more beneficial to getting a job and just getting a life.

My current situation consists of just stoning in my little room behind and i'm not even getting exposed to friendships which currently i have limited myself to online ones. I really should start getting people's numbers and contacting them.

Oh the procrastination that home brings..

Each year's resolution of 'killing' procrastination never succeeds

on my way back to Singapore tomorrow! I'll miss everyone in melbourne! I'm thankful that I'll at least have my friend's wedding in Klang where I'll see most people again. But then, that'll really be the end then.. =( Have not really caught up with most people yet.. felt like i was psycho-ing most of them to come to singapore and we'll catch up then. Haha! =-p

Currently busying myself with things like dots wedding and slight job hunting.. the feeling of leaving melbourne "forever" has yet to sink in..

Sunday School "special" + dad's visit to Melbourne day1

It's times like these that make it all worthwhile..

Today in Sunday school,

it was my final time to lead the children in singing. The readiness and eagerness of the children participating calmed my nervousness and prompted my enthusiasm in singing with them.

When uncle Lee (Mitchell and Jeremy's dad) passed the time to me, saying it's going to be special, a thought sprung to my head. A special time where I allowed the kids to come up with the actions themselves! =) It was so exciting to see them so eager and participative =DD

My dad's visit to melbourne (with me as a lousy tour guide) resulted in a pasta lunch (accompanied by uncle Charles), a tour @ the aquarium (free entrance w/ my cousin working there), a trip to crown casino (where I got lost and a headache), a mars bar choc cake being consumed @ Grecco, a walk down to fed square and through swanston street (short glance @ the display @ Myer), 2 bags of discounted nougats from chinatown and a huge meal @ han ku guan (korean restaurant).

whee! more stuff to plan ..

The verdict..

My results are out! Well, not officially anyway. But, *hint to those young ones in regards to using melb uni results links*, the university splits the release of results into 2 days, separated by faculties. Mine happens to be the one for the later day.

However, the results have actually been keyed into the system, just not shown on screen. So all you need to do is go to s.i.s., to order a copy of your results history to get it! Check your university email and voila!

Anyway, the verdict is this..

I passed!!!

Alright! Now i can confirm my graduation and stop being so skeptical about me being to graduate! =p

Now that that is done..

Here's my personal opinion on where I stand (this means before I have officially discussed with my parents) :

I HAVE to look for a job more SERIOUSLY now.

This means PERSONALISING each resume/CV. Enough of 'photocopying'/ the 'ideal' copy. Haha. Maybe that's why I haven been given an opportunity in my job search so far. Lol.

Don't think i have much options in further studies anymore. My results have quite crushed that hope. Buck up woman!

Hail!

Ok, maybe not the clearest. but yes, it hailed on the saturday right before my 3 papers week. Had 2 papers on that following Monday, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, plus another on that Wednesday! That almost killed my motivation to focus and study but I'm glad that it gave me a moment to bond with my housemate for a while (who saw hail for the first time)



School's out!

Right up to monday, I had just imagined going home, taking my time to look for a job.. Everything would work out fine .. right?

But come Tuesday morning (actually more like afternoon, given that I woke at 2.30pm), I received an email from my mum regarding her thoughts that I might want to study further first as a result of the recent market crash.

This meant.. I have to look for more information regarding honours/masters.

What i found so far, honours/diploma for Actuarial studies is somewhere out of my grasp as a result of my slackiness + inability.

Masters for finance might be feasible due to a stroke of luck (took a subject that was one of the 'basic' finance subjects that i had to do in order to qualify)

Other options include:
Post grad in teaching (pri or sec education i'm not so sure)
Physiotheraphy? kinesiotherapy? Massage?

Quite interesting to take up the massage/physio option but Don't think parents would be too happy with it.. It'll be tough as well, given that I gave up on sci since trinity times. Never felt that I was good at it anyway.. and never was given the chance to take biology.

Finance might be the ultimate winner.. THOUGH.. that is the field most affected by the market crash.

=x more thinking and cleaning up to do..
