for lack of a better title. Anyway, i’m feeling very sore and kinda depressed. I missed almost the entire Asia Conference. Hoping that i am well enough to go for tomorrow’s Sunday morning service. Been having bad diarrhoea, neckaches and headaches the entire day today and haven’t been able to study as much as i wanted to. Looks like i’ll have to wait another year. Sigh.. Everybody’s telling me it’s so great. Urgh.. Damn pissed. Why am i never healthy and alert? It’s like i’m always sick. GAH!!!

it just stings that i’m in my final semester and unlike others, who are enjoying themselves, i’m suffering. >.< Feel tempted to just not study for my one and only final exam this Tuesday. But i am afraid of failing this mod. Besides, i need to concentrate on my FYP. Bleah.. ok, now shoo! Leave me alone or i’ll bite.

Singapore Turf Club has their own riding centre just recently! Ahhh… why now? And those kids who have the opportunity are so fortunate!!! It was opened last month and i only got to know 4days ago so ya, what i’m blogging about isn’t very new. =X But anyway, it’s only for those 8-18years old. I just emailed them asking whether there are any programmes for those keen on pursuing horse riding. I’m guessing its more expensive than Polo Club even if they have because of the facilities and such.

started to save up now. Goal is to get Saddle Club’s lifetime membership by Feb. :DDD Can’t wait! And the next 2 weeks is my most crucial days left in SMU. But it’s really very mentally draining. FYP is still not 100% completed but at least still underway.

spoke to my dad about me wanting to take up horse riding and he’s okay with it but he did mention that he wanted me to pay abit. Not too sure how much he’s willing to. I was proposing that i pay $2,000 upfront and the remainder of $7,960 to be covered by my dad. I also did propose that i could pay him back in installments if he wanted. It’s very expensive but at least the $9,960 for lifetime is better than renewing the annual term membersip every year for the next few years. Plus the amount i spent the past 2 years on horse-riding could have paid for the lifetime membership fully now. =X

i wonder if i should wait a few more months to save up before i commit to this decision. Afterall, the savings i have in my bank account now have been hard-earned and its for the future. Sigh.. decisions again. It’s crazy to have to plan so carefully. I could be selfish and let Dear handle everything but no, that’s not gonna happen. It’s a promise we made together. Nothing comes out of that account.

not too sure yet. It’s either a life whereby i work as hard as i can just to be able to get a big house, a nice car, help others etc. (typical way of life in SG) or pursue what i really want which is horse-riding and yet live decently/simply and still be able to help others.

i really dunno. All these transition into adult life is just making me so stressed and undecided. I think i should look for a job i like which complements my strengths (i.e: programming). At least i’d enjoy what i do.

and here’s the pictures from one of the most prestigous events held at Saddle Club every year, the FEI World Jumping Championship Qualifier, which i always look forward to. Couldn’t go there this year because i had church and project meeting. The photo gallery will show you why i am so awed always. Simply breathtaking! Plus there’s 2 horses i love who competed in that competition! OJ & We R On. <3 <3 <3

i miss horse-riding but more importantly, the horses there. Horses like Sunshine, We R On and Ocean Jupiter (OJ). Haven’t seen them for a few months and i hope they are doing well. Went down today to settle the termination of my membership and hand in the keys to my locker after clearing up my boots, helmet and whip. Got extra carrots for them too! Hope they can identify my smell and remember me.

horses are still so amazingly breath-taking, magnificant and athletic to me after all these years. <3 <3 <3 But first i need to focus on getting a good job. So many plans ahead. And i’m looking forward to it.

today’s interview with Frost and Sullivan was not bad. PTL. Got high chance to go to the second round of interview with the boss/manager. But i’m kinda skeptical about the job scope. It is akin to those relationship managers/account managers in banks etc. where each employee is to undertake and oversee each business sector and target companies in countries based on the sector the employee is in-charge of. It sounds fun and challenging but knowing my character, i’m worried i might not do well when meeting these client companies because i get so nervous when i do presentations. But this job is very challenging and i believe it’d equip me well. Also, it means i have to be well-read and always identifying new opportunities (i.e: quick thinker and analyst).

hmmm…
