Vuitton's blabberings of the day:
Been doing some active soul-searching recently.
Been jobless for 2 months since I returned. Really hope that US stint works out.
Sometimes I feel...lonely I'd say. You reach this age when you see everyone progressing well, either with their studies or with their work...some with their relationships, you feel happy, yet filled with envy at the same time.
One thing I'm glad is that I have finally decided to make the initiative, to contact my classmates from Swiss that I've, somehow, fell out with over the time I was in Swiss. You see, the you adapt to the environment, not the environment adapts to fit you. Perhaps that was why I must confess, my personality had a slight change during the time I was there, and perhaps, that was why all the gossips and non-stop bitching finally drew the line between my classmates and I.
You see, recently I talked to Sher and told her about how sorry I was to have did things that made her upset. It made me upset too. I was childish and unprofessional. But some things are just beyond reconciliation. I believe that even after bits and pieces of the broken vase have been glued, cracks still remain. Still, I was glad to have made the effort to talk things out. Fortunately, she was nice about it.
Another thing I felt immensely insecure and slightly upset is...my relationship status.
Yes I think I'm most likely going to marry the first person I go out with.
Haha. What makes me say that?
Please. I'm 23. I have friends who are married. FRIENDS. not FRIEND. Plural! That means many! and of course, many are happily attached and some have been engaged, some are on the path to marriage, some...just dating seriously. Oh come on, where are all the rotten plum flowers (translated from chinese) I'm supposed to meet? Never mind about that. All the incessant watching of romance flicks aren't helping. Still, there's absolutely no harm in believing in true love! I proclaim true love to be righteous!!! and...happens once in a million years. RIGHT. I need to wake up. Hello? Miss Dreamy, I really need some Mcsteamy here!
Still, I love to lend a listening ear. I love to hear people's problems and talk to them. Perhaps I should have been a psychologist! I think helping people by listening to their problems and giving probable solutions give me great satisfaction. It really does seem I'm acting like a mother to all my little lovely cubs!
Nonetheless, I shall not fret about being jobless, being lonely, being down and all that negative stuff. I believe in optimism. I believe in my abilities. I believe I can do great things!
Therefore, I shall continue to believe in me.
I shall prevail! and of course, hope for certain miracles to happen!
Carpe Diem (used excessively, but nonetheless very descriptive of my situation),
Seize the day! :)
Cheers to all and have a nice day!

Vuitton's blabberings of the day:
It's been 3 weeks since I returned from Swiss. Everything seems to have gone back to normal again. While dealing with unemployment and constant nagging from my mom, I can't help but wish to go back to the times when studying was my mine priority. Like wise men say, savour your studying years, because once you step into the working society, you'd wish you were back being a student again.
So, now I'm currently "helping" my dad in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh. Ok I admit I have not helped much, (ok none, actually) since I arrived on Saturday. I have been, and I confess, loafing at my dad's apartment, watching soapy heart-wrenching movies such as Sense and Sensibility, getting all hyped up and goo-gooing over Alan Rickman (who by the way is like 60 years old already!), watching Ugly Betty, still salivating over nerdy character "Henry" (as portrayed by Christopher Gorham), watching stupid Superman spinoff Smallville, and eating away 2000 (or more) carbs everyday that seem to have taken a liking into settling on my tummy.
So it seems that my career is put on hiatus until notice from either one of the 100s of companies that I sent resume to. Perhaps it's time I send them convincing letters that probably should start with:
"Dear company staff,
Please stop wasting our time. Please just make up your mind already and send me the bl**dy contract!"
Yours sincerely,
A -man - outofjob-da
Seriously? Yes, seriously. Fresh grads like us are feeling the pinch! with no job, how can i go japan in in sep?! airfares are ridiculously cheap! ANA is offering SGD482.00 2-way! taxes included already!!! but the catch is min. 2 travelling people -_-
anyway, no job = no travel = boredom = sian-ness = auto-destruction of amanda.
Sigh.
I need to get a life!! Stop day-dreaming about gorgeous men!
No. I need to get a job first.
A JOB!!!!!!!!
