Rich Rich country as seen from my air plane television and from the window....

Blue blue coulds...

My 17 hour journey starts here.

Lots of photos and stories to tell you guys. But for now, I only have the time to do this. So please wait patiently, I'll post photos, do more entries when I find the non-office hours. LOL. Working in the Central makes me feel much more mature and professional. And the best thing is I can wear very professional outfits every single day! And of course I have learnt how to wear high heels!!!

Life in HK has been so fulfilling and so interesting. So far so good. The best is still to come. *winks* *winks*

I can't wait!

Hong Kong here I come

2008-07-22T23:39:00.002+01:00

Yes, I'll be going to Hong Kong tomorrow. Hopefully this trip will be very meaningful and rewarding. 15+ hours in the air will definitely be the biggest pain in the arse though.

So goodbye UK- Durham for now...

*praying* for a smooth journey tomorrow.
Need to zZzzzz......

After my numerous negotiations and patience with Vodafone I have finally convinced them that I'm a customer they would never want to lose. It's such a long story and I do not want to give the game away. ^^ but if you want to know how to get an AMAZINGLY CHEAP deal, you can ask me personally. There's always this twist to a business and there's always this gray area in a big company. You'll feel such a great sense of satisfaction if you've found it and you'll definitely benefit for the money you are paying. But this also means that someone else might be paying more than they should for me, in order for the company to get the balance sheet right. HAHA. Well, life's tricky.

Doubts of a baby camel

Moral of the story

Never bored again

2008-06-14T00:28:00.009+01:00

Right after exams I thought I could really relax and do nothing, think about nothing but I was wrong. Life just seems to get busier and busier each single day.

Busy -> interesting -> thinking -> Busier

So that's how I should live my life really. Making every single second count. Having a TO-DO-LIST of such great length is not easy for me. I feel that something actually clicked in my head after I came back from London. From now on, every single second can never be boring. Life's really too short to complain. Especially complaining how bored it is. I just feel that it's impossible to be bored from now on.

Recently watched 2 seasons of The Apprentice (US) version. Great lessons to be learnt in every single season. But I've found out that NBC has took off the show as the ratings were going down hill from season 6. It'll be so great to see someone from the NBC saying 'You are fired' to Donald Trump. Personally, I think Donald Trump has made his company positions too commercialised. It's getting to the point that whenever he films one season of Apprentice, he has to show off a great deal of his grand projects and apartments. He just loves to show off what he's got. Seriously rich man.

London - Hopped onto the train right after my last exam paper. As usual, had such an amazing time with Rich and met so many of his friends. Too many photos. Here are a few.

2008-06-03T22:22:00.002+01:00

Packed with unfinished TO-DO-LIST items.

But off to Wales tomorrow. OMG. Why does life not get quieter for me?

PS: my 'life' stories will be organised when I get back and photos will be up soon. Patience.

Finished exams on the 23rd and headed right to the train station immediately.

LONDON!

Will post photos.... ^^ But for now. I'm going out...

Can't believe myself

Topic: 'Interesting happenings'
Cause: STRESS and lots of it

Happenings:
1. For my EDA exam (Maths) I forgot to check my room. And just picked one room to go to. Sat down and did a 1hr30min exam. (TOUGH WORK). When I got back then I realized it's the wrong room! But too late. So maybe that's why some people didn't have enough seats in the room. But at that time I was thinking: luckily I've arrived early. (kekekeeee....SO MEAN)

2. It turned out I have chose the room where the so-called-disturbing-situation didn't happen. So maybe that was meant to be. Thank you My Lord.

3. Today, indeed, the lecturer said he's going to give us a surprise, it was definitely a surprise. At first, I was rather positive he's not that mean to give us a HORRIBLE surprise, but it turns out, to be one of those HORRIBLE AND TERRIBLE surprises.
So what to do? I just did the paper. And wishing for the BEST. Because I had done my BEST and what is done is DONE!

4. 'Coming to my climax of this very entry':
I FORGOT MY ANONYMOUS CODE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW can I forget???? I had the same code last year and I didn't forget it, I remembered for my two exams last week!!!!!!!!! RIDICULOUS!!!!!! Absolutely appalling. So I had to write my name on the answer booklet and the card.

Conclusion:
Too stressed and nervous.

Thursday and Friday will be one of the first few judgment days of my life.
I pray to you My Lord for all your blessings.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Let's pray

For the victims of the earthquake in China, for the people stranded without aid in Burma,

and for

Jenn (optional, there! is that better JAMES PEARSON!)

yes for jenn...
A tough week ahead. The only thing I can wish for is that I'll still be alive when all this is over.

GOD BLESS THE WORLD!
Watching those vedios on BBC really gets me rather emotional. I feel lucky that the earthquake didn't affect Wuhan. Chengdu is so near to Wuhan. I hope that the aftershocks will stop soon.
Long-live China!

LOL

笨鸟先飞

2008-05-06T00:38:00.002+01:00

刚刚洗了个澡，突然发现这句成语原来。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。是错的！
请大家想想：一只笨的鸟，怎么知道自己要先飞呢？！？所以应该改成‘明鸟先飞’。注意哦，这是有双重意思的。
1. 聪明的鸟会知道要先飞
2. 如果你‘明了’（同音），也就等于比别人聪明咯

想到这里就发现自己完蛋了！不但没有‘先飞‘，还在复习ECONOMICS的时候领悟到中国文学的奇妙。看来，我读错专业了。还不如读读中国文学，毕业后在大学图书管里当一个LIBRARIAN，清清静静的研究一下中国成语。

嗨。。。
可惜啊，可惜，没有早点发现自己的POTENTIAL, 浪费了自己的才华。

My Master Piece

2008-04-27T21:01:00.003+01:00

Assignment: Economics Data Analysis Report
Deadline: 2nd May, 2008 (Friday)

Set Question:
Find the demand function for tea.

Answer:
4145 words of mathematical data analysis and evaluation

Time spent:
2 weeks of 1000% concentrate (a combination of reading up 13 chapters and writing up the report)

Number of Edits:
10 times! Editing the WHOLE report 10 time! If one data goes wrong, everything goes wrong! That drove me absolutely CRAZY!

Conclusion:
I can finally start with my normal revision.
Hoping for a very high mark for this report. As I hate maths exams.

I am seriously proud of the my report. Never been so proud before. So if this goes wrong in the end, I can seriously KILL myself!

THE END

My motivation

2008-04-25T14:09:00.006+01:00

A train ticket right after my last exam to London!

Yes, the biggest motivation for now.

Literary RIGHT AFTER the last exam.

PS: Red Bull is absolutely genius. Microwavable meals are my time saver. Green bean soup is my saviour but the internet is that amazingly attractive KILLER! This has just about summed up my life style for now.

Had a great time last night

2008-04-23T10:15:00.002+01:00

And this time NO I do not mean clubbing or socialising, but just working part-time ^^ My most fulfilling time of happiness everyweek. LOL. I just love working there. The best job ever in terms of staff relationships. Everyone there are so friendly to me and the two aunties adores me. They always make plenty of yummy food for me. I think I am truly blessed with food. lol

Anyway, back to working mode. No lectures today but 6pm tesco trip to get a new saucer to replace the one I've burnt a few days ago. At the same time, some grocery shopping for some essentials.

Sleep is a treasure to be kept 4eva

2008-04-22T09:48:00.002+01:00

I think sleep is the last thing and the first thing I need. It wastes my time at the moment. I've got to buckle up and get everything done. Sleep will have to wait for a little while till I have the time.

But it'll definitely be the first thing I'll do when I've finished my last paper.

Library and food shopping

2008-04-21T21:50:00.005+01:00

I use to hate this word. Cause it basically means lots of reading and lots of studying and lots of pain if you have to read for something that's going to determine your FUTURE! But I have recently discovered the usefulness of it and the joy of just sitting in the library with all the other people who are 'suffering' with you. I like to think that way. It makes me feel better and more motivated. I have also learnt how to find journals in the library! They are numbered in a VERY weird way. But after some coaching from a very friendly librarian who help me find all my journals in that massive library, I was pretty sure how to find them next time. Then I was a bit late for my revision lecture. -_-'' as usual you will see Jennifer always running, never walking like normal people. I call this 'good exercise'.

Ran a lot of errands for myself today. Had a brunch, as I've mentioned in the previous entry. Did some EDA and dashed off to the vege shop to buy a bag of beansprouts and a bunch of asparagus. Just felt like eat these two veges this week. on my way home, pop into Iceland and got a bag of frozen salmon (so expensive!), a loaf of fruity bread and 4/5 boxes of ready-made meals (stocking up). Oh damnit, which reminds me. I forgot to get my essentials for exams! RED BULL! UGH. Gotta go to that mini tescos to get a few cans, maybe on wednesday.

Anyway, I have turned to be a vege and fish eater. Only fish. All kinds of fish. And only steamed food for dinner. However, I have also told myself that I should not think about eating less. So I am eating relatively healthy, when I have the time, but always feeding myself lots of yummy food to keep me going and happy everyday. Well, at least I try to be.

But how can u be happy when exams are here? ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ran to the business school and returned-borrowed a book. Stupid librarian wasn't there so I had to wait for a while. WASTING MY TIME! I did forgive him in the end though. Dashed off to the library and that's where my entry started. Weird writing style right? Yah, I like to start in the middle of a story. It's less boring.

Back to EDA.

Summative assignment

2008-04-21T10:56:00.004+01:00

This assignment is a KILLER to civilisation. It has brought pain and suffering to mankind. But it has made me stronger, well hopefully, even though it's rather impossible to do.

Ok, enough crap.

Summative assignments as some of you may not know are Uni assignments which counts to your final degree. So yes it's SUPER, EXTREMELY important that you get it right and handed in on time. This summative assignment I'm doing counts (I think) around 40% of the total of the Economic Data Analysis module. IMPORTANT IMPORTANT. Cause I'm crap at maths. So if I don't get this right, then I can never get anything right.

Last night I sort of had this energy to continue doing whatever I can on this assignment. Work till 2-3am in the morning. At the same time I did my laundry and steam rice. Yes, steamed rice at 2am in the morning. WHY? Well, for my brunch tomorrow. I don't want to waste time waiting for the rice to steam. LOL

So at 10.30am I ate a bowl of rice and a can of Irish Stew. Very unhealthy I know but at least I know exactly how many calories I am taking in and most importantly it's SUPER fast. And that's my brunch done! No time to waste on food from now on. It's going to be WORK WORK WORK AND MORE MORE WORK!

Revision lecture this afternoon on Business Competition. Hopefully it'll be VERY useful.

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.

You really made my day (a MUST share)

2008-04-09T20:40:00.003+01:00

Just as I thought my day was getting worse. My dearest Ruby JJ sent me this:

蜘蛛和蜜蜂訂婚了

蜘蛛感到很不滿意於是就問牠的媽媽:「為什麼要讓我娶蜜蜂?」
蜘蛛的媽媽說:「蜜蜂是吵了一點. 但人家好歹也是個空姐.」
蜘蛛說:「可是我比較喜歡蚊子耶!」
蜘蛛的媽媽說:「不要再想那個護士了,打針都打不好,上次搞到媽水腫.」**********************************************************
蜜蜂也感到很不滿意, 於是就問牠的媽媽:「為什麼要讓我嫁給蜘蛛呢?」
蜜蜂的媽媽說:「蜘蛛是醜了一點, 但人家好歹也是搞網路的........」
蜜蜂說:「可是人家比較愛螞蟻啊!」
蜜蜂的媽媽說:「別再提那瘦巴巴的工頭, 整天扛著食物東奔西跑, 連台貨車都沒有.」
蜜蜂說:「那隔壁村的蒼蠅哥也不錯.」
蜜蜂的媽媽說:「他是長得蠻帥的, 但也不能找個食屎的.」

OMG. I had a really good laugh! Thank you so much!!!!!
