i'm back from the dead
and baby sez: i just want you to be happy.
me too. i just want to be happy, so make me happy. lol. ok, so maybe i take back some of the things i said on that private post. but really, you say worst things in fits of anger, don't you?
your next off day, lets go out and stuff ourselves like maniacs, we both look like skin and bone pows now. you don't eat all day, and i hardly eat anything. i wonder if you're losing weight as rapidly as i am. i hope not. i hope you don't get the major tummyaches i get from irregular meals either. sheepy's tummy is strong cos its fat and big. (:
since this post is neither private nor friends only, come everyone, give me suggestions on where i should apply for my internship. barclays etc etc are out of the question already, and RBS happily states how only potential high flyers should apply, ie. at least 2:1 honours, which i DO NOT HAVE. and anyway, with the banking industry being uber competitive, plus many many high flyers around, plus the recession, i don't think i'd get in. and like how joyce said, even after i get in, i doubt i'll be happy there. i mean, the money will make me happy laa. but as a junior analyst, i think you don't really earn that much? its more than what normal people get, for sure, but is the difference enough for you to like practically sell your life to them? i'm not really sure. the lotsa lotsa money only comes in when you're established and good at your job and like at 40 ++ where you can afford to retire early like my mummy, who has spent the best years of her life committed to the bank. as of 31st Jan, mummy will be home everyday to cook for us!
and no, i'm not showing off here, i'm just amazed at how my mum manages to survive the corporate world on a daily basis, especially with us kids not being the easiest to handle people in the world. i guess thats how my family developed a kinda distant and formal style of communication? i used to wanna emulate my mum, and like make it big out there in the corporate world. and the sad thing is, i had it all there in front of me. connections: check. education: check. basically all you need for a big career out there. in singapore i mean. but apparently i'm not as tough and strong willed as her. and also, i don't love money that much. i'm not saying my mum did or anything, its like, she and daddy had a family to support?
but seriously, i mean, money is important, but somehow, i don't love it enough to go out there and do stuff that i really hate, just to earn that money. but you know what? when i graduate, i'mma put some effort into finding a proper job. lets not waste that education shall we? i'm sure my Jc CT didn't write such a glowing testimonial for me to end up as a bartender or waitress after all that good influence in jc.
speaking of testimonials and references, i should go dig out all my certs and stuff. and did i mention that i have NO references? :(
and if you've noticed, i'm rambling incoherently cos i've been in and out of the loony bin with my own imagination once too many. bye.
