exam break

Hi guys! i just finished two exams and decided that i need a short little break and so i thought this is the best time to post a little something here.
Really glad that we have this blog here. :) great way to catch up with everyone, though i haven't read all the postings..haha.. anywayz... i think i might be able to offer my house for this upcoming gathering! hehe... what are we looking at? catered food? bbq? :)
just a little update about myself.. i am still in my 4th year, and won't graduate till december... Response 1: Yay! that means i still get my long holidays! Response 2: sigh..i am not looking forward to more exams and writing my thesis. :(
I took a module on the Sociology of life course and ageing this semester and might continue doing a thesis on that. Maybe on people's perception of death and dying in Singapore and ethnicity or something. But as just a point of reflection, Singapore is really ageing. I didn't really care that much till i took the module and i started to realise that my parents are also ageing..and are now considered senior citizens! And i am also wondering what people do after retirement. Won't it be so boring? Especially since our life expectancy is now between 76 and 80 and even more! How do people ensure their financial security too? what do you guys think? oh and did you know that Japan has the most number of centurians in the world? hehz... well... ok..i shan't brood on this topic so much for now..haha lest i bore people... but really, time flies by so fast! i can't believe we are all in our twenty-somethings already and friends are starting to get engaged and be married! Speaking of which, anyone here going to tie the strings anytime in the next year or two? hehe
ANyway, i'm going to go to China May-June for a long holiday. Do you guys need anything from there? hehz.. first come first serve!
oh ya..jus another thing i learnt from one of my older friend from America and i thought it'd be nice to share with everyone. We were talking about networking and keeping in touch with people. And he was suggesting a kind of a system like outlook that helps you contain all the permanent contact and information of individuals, categorised accordingly to help you keep track of who you know and to remind yourself to constantly keep in touch with them. In our world today, knowing people and having connections brings you to places! :) I have friends' contacts all over the place..and yeah, i will probably have to do some cleaning up this summer hols.. if you haven't done so, you might want to start doing so, start early! :)
hmmm...another thing that popped to mind was the fact that Singapore is going to have the youth olympics in 2010. And you know how you always hear about other people leveraging on events like this to either make some money or just to help out in a meangingful way? anyone wants to volunteer to help out with the 2010 thingy or to think of some innovative services that people might want then? We could all be young entrepreneurs for that event or just have fun! :)
okie dokie..these are the thoughts i have for now.. i'm going to end off and hit the books again.. *groan*

Good luck everyone with exams! :) Take care! And for those going away, have fun and enjoy yourselves! :)

cheers,
SYS

Helllllllo!

Hi mates....

Its that time of the year again... When Exams abound. Here's to all that are tackling their exams... All the best ya? The dark clouds will soon pass.

As a side note, I will be going to Melbourne to do Orthopaedics on the 2nd May for 1 month... Then off to Perth to visit relatives after my elective for a well deserved break. (the domestic flight from Melbourne to Perth is free as part of the Qantas package!!) So during this period refrain from contacting me unless you are Singtel/Starhub/M1's good friend...

Will be back in Sunny Singapore on the 8th of June! Till then take care Everyone!!!!

JL is going to Tanzania on the 3rd of May. So please place your souvenir orders with her. I have already placed my IVORY ash tray orders with her. HAHA. just dont tell World Wildlife Fund.

Okay lah... till then keep this place alive!!

Regards,
Your PE WRAP! (You better know who I am!)....

Finishing this story of yours....

Nobody said that everything in life would be plain-sailing.
Sometimes, little surprises catch us off-guard and we capsize..

Oops. But we shouldn't lose the faith we have in ourselves.
So to those who are finishing this chapter in their life,
hang in there even if times are difficult
and give it your best shot for the coming finals (:
Jia-you and...

And here's a little something to look forward to..
Graduation Portraits!
You people could check out http://www.portraitgallery.com.sg
Seriously, though they are slightly more expensive, their photography skills are really good!
(Oh no, I am not making a commission out of it or something, I just happened to have taken there before and was a satisfied customer!)

And hmm... I agree we should have a Class Gathering soon.
Even if we can't source for anyone's home, we could still meet for a good meal outside somewhere.

Take care everyone!

Class gathering 2008 !

Since everything is so quiet, let me stir things up.

Due to my incompetency, we had no annual class gathering last year. :( So this year, I promise all of you that there will be one for sure. BUT, I will need the cooperation of everyone. I am thinking of having the gathering somewhere in July, perhaps after our commencement( for the gals who are graduating this yr!!!). If you have any strong disagreement over the date, pls voice it out! I can only try my best to cater to the majority.

One more thing. I will need a venue too. If any kind souls can offer their house (looks at v****), that will be one major problem solved.

For those who are far far away from home, do let me know if you will be back in Singapore anytime soon between May - Aug. I really hope to get as many people as possible to be present for our class gathering. Every person counts. Without you guys, there is no such thing as a class gathering.


Cheers,
Your dearest maths rep
