The Key to Life:)

Back to blogging :) Lately it was school hectic life! Thank god for friends that make time pass faster and joyful! :) So my lovely internship senior and mentors came to visit us in NTU, experiencing a day back in university life somewhere near the end of feb :)
Went on a nautical theme that day :)
One of the pictures taken while we went exploring other parts of the university =D
 It was off for some nice food therapy after the day spent in school! Introduced them to Strangers Reunion and we had a great time chatting through anything under the sun, with yummy-licious food as well :)

Thereafter on the first week of march, its time for me to fly over to meet le boyfriend in indonesia! :)

Scored this exclusive travel set at the airport! So thrilled! =D
The smile that I always have only when I'm with him :)
Japanese cuisine in Jakarta that tastes superb! 



 These are just some of the outfits taken in Jakarta during my stay there. The times at night are what I treasure the most. No matter how busy life may be, be grateful at the end of the day, there's still the one you loved hugging you in his arms to bed and sealing you with a kiss in the morning. That's simple bliss that I always treasure because we don't get to meet each other often.
This is the hand I wish to hold on to for the rest of my life.
 It was time to bid him goodbye. Everytime I had to separate from him, I tend to tear. Cause I really don't wish to say goodbye from everything together. Because I do not know when I will see him again physically, I hope times together do not end so quickly. The long hug, the kiss and 'I love you' holds even dearly as we parted at the airport. As usual, I teared and left with a heavy heart home, taking with me all the memories each time.
 It was back to sch and lately I have a thing for black recently!
Met up with the girls over at PS to give Hoshino Coffee a try :) Awesome food and company! Times together are always full of laughter and shopping talks! :)
Gotta love the french toast and Omu rice! :)
 And as of my last post, the things that caught me in thoughts lately; thanks to a friend of mine, he enlightened me with 2 video clips and taught me 2 basic philosophies in life.


 These 2 are etched in me now and I will always remember them as I strive into the next chapter of life.
It was exam day and I took this random shot of me in aviators. 
Thank you for always being there whenever you can mentally giving me support to pull through things :)
A random weekend of trying out new Brunch Cafe with Twinie! We went Barracks cafe and it was heavenly good! We were completely sold to the food! =D
 Stress will always lead to some retail therapy and this baby became my favourite hair mist from now!
                                     A little bit of Chanel always perks any lady up somewhat! :)
 Met up with my 2 lovelies over dinner and chit chat session the other day. Decked on in my new ASOS stripey dress that is love! :)
You girls are the pillars to my souls. Thank you for being there always :)
Another random outfit of me in ASOS lace top that spells sexy and feminine! 
Everytime I stepped into Zara, I scored items I caught at first sight! Prints are so into me lately! The basic tee has the perfect cutting and a sexy low u-back! The paisley prints on the jeans, comfyness and style in one!

For now, its striving till sch's officially over and its off to grad trip and finding a job!

Also plucked the courage and made time to see the gynae at Mount Elizabeth.

Till then. :)

Where do we go from here?

In a blink of an eye, yes I will be graduating from NTU, completed my studying phase of life..and on to the next chapter...Well actually, its a bottle of mixed feelings..I am happy for the fact that I will be graduating, but at the same time, jitters are running through my spine..The next question that came straight to my mind, 'where do I go from here?'

Last semester of sch has been rough on me..and I could barely have the time to look into jobs. Friends have been attending interviews, sending resumes etc..I haven't. The only thing I'm able to complete by now is my resume section in the careers.gov.sg website. Have I been cheating to myself that 'nope, I will still definitely have time to find a job even after I graduate' Guess the hard truth is, it's never easy finding a job nowadays.

Graduating out of a Science degree cohort, my results was never glamorous to look at. People have been telling me it's good enough to graduate with just a degree, a passing phase in life. But for the science industry, I guess it wasn't the case. In sciences, the industry is realistic. Either you get good grades and honors and you secured the job, or you're out. Alot of the govt bodies under the sciences division are living example proofs. It scares me with my degree, where can I go from here?

Finding a job, sending resumes, securing a interview (this already scares me), passing them and congrats to getting a new job? This pathway seems remote to me at the moment. I had part time jobs before, but I have long lost the fear or nervousness during an interview. The tackiness to answering typical interview questions, and worse if some came with scientific technical questions (cause seriously I returned all information back to the school once I'm done with them), it's tough just by imagining it.

I have been well protected at least from the working world, by family, friends and bf. Places that I have worked in previously were places where I had connections with. It's like I never had to worry I won't be able to work there. Having a science degree, I really did not know if I had made the right choice 4 years back.

Having seen the reality in life, where friends with good honors went on securing jobs in govt sector, it hit on me as to where can I go? Am I able to get out of my comfort zone, to seek the courage to face whatever that hits on me when I graduated? People once told me, I'm too naive at my age, and I won't be able to survive in the working world. The working world will never be how like a studying student will imagine cause all these while we were well protected by people around us. We never ever got reprimanded once when we make a mistake, there will always be people covering it up cause we are 'students'.

I really do hope I can seek enlightenment soon..what type of job suits me, what type of job that I'm looking for..I really hope I have all the courage needed to step out to secure that first job in life. I need to stop procrastinating and put things to action. I really hope soon...
