Internship
You know, I was kind of worried that my 'good luck' from last year wouldn't be brought forward to this year, considering that I had such a fantastic 2011. I guess my worrying is unnecessary, at least for now. Last year in November, I applied to quite a few banks, financial institutions, and other non-b&f companies in hopes of landing myself an ( Read more... ) -
2011 - Places I travelled to
2011 is ending in two days. It's time for me to sit down and reflect on my year. I've never been an expressive person, so I don't think it will be very lengthy. This is one part of my yearly reflective entry, or whatever people call it. I will write about the rest once I get back from KL.

Venice of Hong Kong
The Office of Academic Links organised a boat trip to Tai-O, Hong Kong's Venice in late January. We had to endure a boat trip that was almost 3 hours long. I remember it being very cold due to the strong winds on board. All I can say is, thank goodness I do not suffer from motion sickness.

Ocean Park
Yay! I finally managed to find time to write this post! I know it's not Tuesday, but..... whatever! :)
There's this market, called Taipo Market, one MTR stop away from my school and a lot of students who live on campus go there to buy groceries. The vegetables and fruits there are of a wide variety and it's definitely cheaper than those we can get ( Read more... ) -

Come next weekend, I'll be travelling to somewhere further up north in mainland China. I'll be going to Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and ( Read more... )
