Economic data analysis is IMPOSSIBLE! But still, every minute and every second I keep telling myself nothing is impossible, Jennifer! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR JENNIFER! Think about how you got the top in the year in Singapore. Think about when you first went to Hong Kong and didn't know a single word in Chinese. The only 2 characters you knew how to write was your name. But still you got the first in the year in a LOCAL school where everything was taught in Chinese (cantonese) and the only subject familiar to you was English. With lots of support and help from fantastic teachers and my lovely parents, with additional lessons after school every single day, you made it in the end! All you need is lots of self-discipline and self-motivation, get inspired. If you can do it then, why can't you do it again?

I've always tried to read lots of autobiographies of successful people. Read articles on how to keep yourself going everyday. How to be productive. Trying to find that 'kick in the ass'. Everyday I search for these answers. What a waste of time. Today, I've decided to search for answers within me. Famous people do have their amazing life stories. But I believe that one day I can also write a book like that. It doesn't have to be published. But I am positive that it won't be any less interesting than those I've read. Haha. Yes, I have become rather confident. That's what you need in the big city. Lots of Confidence, a pinch of LUCK, a little bit of intelligence, lots of discipline and be able to socialise with different types of people. One thing I always remind myself: Never be pessimistic.

Been talking to Rich recently about my future plans and career prospects. He finally realised that you really can't judge Jennifer's book by it's cover. LOL. Yes, Jennifer is actually not ambitious at all, although she appears to be. One of my friends has told me of how she wished to be me. I seem so confident, so capable and so ambitious. But I just couldn't stop laughing and told her that it's only a book's cover. Jennifer does aim high. But she never really want to take the hassle to live her life like that. 1. it's too tiring. 2. you won't have a life that you can really enjoy MOST of the time. What's the point of climbing up high and constantly worry about someday you'll going to be taken over by someone else and lose everything you once owned? I don't like the trouble and I would rather enjoy most of the time in life with my sufficient amount of money to pursue my 'HAPPYNESS' in a rather different way compared to Christopher Gardner.

Rich is always telling me how 'interesting' I am. In other words, unpredictably ridiculous. Jennifer could tell you that she only wants to work at the County Council earning a fair sum of money but another day she appears to be working towards the Big Fours and planning to gradually climbing up to a investment bank. Or she could tell you that you doesn't agree with this but after a few days she's even more into it than you, or she could tell you she's going to something right but in the end doing something absolutely wrong. It all depends on my instincts - my 8th sense. LOL.

Just a couple of days ago I wrote a rather 'interesting' cover letter and amended my previous CV for KPMG. Got rejected from PWC London but one major reason was that I sent my application too late. Took my own sweet time and did a crap job with my CV without a cover letter. LOL. How confident can I get? Hopefully I'll get a decent Summer Internship, provided that I do well in my second year.
