Quick Snapshots!
Friday - Attended the Future Leaders Forum 2010. Theme was about overpopulation by 2035, its global effects; social cohesion and inclusion; and post-GFC/GEC effects. As usual, it opened up my perspective on many issues and served as an indication of my knowledge level of global issue, or rather, the lack of. Nonetheless, networking was good, met a couple of interesting people :D
Saturday - Attended Chao's graduation ceremony dinner at Kum Den, Chinatown. Her parents came all the way from China, and you could tell instantly, the pride in their eyes upon their only child's graduation. I was the only non-China Chinese there, and was certainly treated like a special guest, the "Gui Bin". There I observed the seemingly similar yet different Chinese culture surrounding the table topics (and table manners), the polite and courteous language (from parents-guest), their affinity to alcohol, pride for their orginins and all-so-merry attitude towards life. It's almost impossible to be uninfected by the warm and jolly spirits of the night.
ALL THE BEST CHAO, I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN WHEN YOU'RE BACK FOR MASTERS!
That night, I stayed over at JiaYen and PeiWen's. Always a pleasure, always a kind gesture, always welcomed (I think hahaah). Thank you girls!
Sunday - Resumed my tutoring role this semester. Student's mum gave me a pay rise today! Happy happy Money Money~ hehehe.

Okay I really need my study mojo back.. Done with playing MS!
PS: All the best to you, too.
