A Thought-Laden Mind

Dear Diary,

Just woke up from a 10.5-hour slumber. Yawn… I am even quite surprised to be in bed at 9.30pm last night. Yesterday was a pretty fun day. It was an impromptu trip to Sentosa with a friend. Basically, went there for a little sunbathing on Fort Siloso beach and soaked in the cool refreshing waters of the sea nearby. Did not bring any additional change of clothes or even a pair of swimming trunks! So went around with wet underwear and shorts after that dip into the sea, haha… no fungal infection so far! =P It has been quite a long while since let my hair down for some good o’ “under-the-sun” activities like swimming, soaking and sunbathing. Generally, other than the beaches, Sentosa has little to offer these days. The attractions are spaced far apart and they are costly to visit. “Asian village” is no longer around too. By 2.15pm, we were out of the island for a lunch at Marche Movenpick restaurant in the nearby VivoCity. I hadn’t eaten Swiss food at Marche for ages! However, had this feeling that the taste differs from before. The ham-and-cheese crepe sauce is now different and so was the texture of the Swiss Rosti. They still tasted nice though. Ate a very delicious banana cheesecake too! Left for home after that. It was indeed a nice off-day spent! =)

Back home, got an email from my former professor and mentor. She gave me some career advice on certain jobs namely banking, teaching at the polytechnics and working in statutory boards. Her perception of them is pretty interesting actually. In fact, I would say “wise and enlightening”! Generally, she thinks I may just be suited for a banking position. Then again, like good old her… she told me about the latest program coming up in NUS and that is a 2-year Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) degree accredited by the University of Illinois which will be launched in 2009. Hmmmm… Really appreciate her and many of the lecturers I had in university!

Sometimes, it is just so strange that we usually take those around us for granted. Maybe it is human nature. When they are gone, we then know how important a part they play in our lives. I may be 27 years old but still can’t help feeling helpless and totally immature in making many crucial choices in career, friendship and relationship at this point of time… sigh… I will trudge along and do forgive me if I should fumble. I am perceived to be more matured and more decisive than I really am. Hey! Why am I perceived in this way by others in the first place? So unfair, hahaha… =P Maybe marketing skills used in the wrong way! Anyway, have a good day! ;-)

God Bless,

Andrew
