Tax Competition + NAPFA

Finished my work for the day so I'm here to blog! The tutorial i was doing was damn tedious man, 4 hours for one bloody question which is totally sian half. anyway i finished my test today and it's a bit worrying because i might not really... do well? Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway I went to NTU for a tax competition last weekend, it was bloody far - all the way at Jurong! Luckily my dad fetched in the morning and I had a hard time navigating my way there cos it's so damn big and I had to stop and ask around for directions. Saw Benedict and some of the other colleagues there which was surprising! found out that they were actually one of the main sponsors of this event and they are here to give a talk regarding future prospects of working in KPMG! yeah and IRAS came too. I think it's like the 3rd time i heard their talk! Oh and i also saw some of the ex-interns from NYP as well as Edwin - Edward and Rebacca's friend! so happy to see so many familiar faces! :D

anyway since we completely came for fun we totally just ended up not entering finals and scooting off to explore many of the places and take photos!

Feeling damn sian when it was time to go home - travelling time damn far ok! luckily i had shu hua for company and we talked throughout the way home. took me 2 hours plus to reach home i was damn lethargic :/






MOVING ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN...






I had my NAPFA test last thursday! everyone around me contemplated not going to mug for the paper but in the end some ended up spontaneously coming! I was set on coming ever since they told us; how can i miss a chance to exercise! exercising is really one of my favourite thing to do because you can just play and have fun! i especially like NAPFA because i never got the discipline to really run and it helps me to see what i can actually achieve!

i went running on a sunday as a form of practice but turned out i was sooo rusty i ended up getting a headache and a terrible muscle ache which lasted all week! and yeah i thought jogging would perk me up but i ended up getting more tired and took a long nap!

by thursday my body was still aching so i wore jeans to school + put yoko yoko as an attempt to sooth my muscles before the test! learnt that the reason why my body ached so much was that i didn't do warm up + stretching exercises which is really important to help u reduce your body pains. to think i use to disregard it so much HAHA cannot look down on stretching and warm up hor!

anw it was really fun, i think i did better in the 5 stations compared to sec 4 which is damn surprising but my 2.4 totally got worse which was expected! luckily i passed my NAPFA heh heh it was great fun! i had the help from my sissies and friends who made sure i got a lot of stretching done, and actually helped me quite a lot! i also learnt a lot of tips to help perform better in NAPFA! bad thing about NAPFA was that it was so darn draggy we reported at 4.45pm and we ended at around 10pm like WTF. somemore there was a bimbo from another course in my group BUAY TAHAN!

We also had tags are a form of identity when you run so they can mark your rounds. Dammit they told me to shout my number when i run past them! like how am i suppose to do that when im half dead and all out of breath! i just totally stared at them when i ran pass and gestured to them my number tag lor.

Photos after the run, while waiting for our running timingssss. My face looks darn red NO photoshop okay!

Photobucket

Nadirah and me! heh she is so funny, always make me laugh in school or lame together lor!

Photobucket

Chiwfoong and me. she damn power at stretching cos she is from dance! so everytime she about to stretch she look like she going for dancing lesson so graceful one lor!

One funny thing about the 3 of us is that our number tags are consecutively numbered, and we finished crossing one after another too, skipping like only one number only. it was fun, and would be better if there wasn't any test the next day (today lor).

Okay gotta go sleep! I'm so busy so many things to do until.... maybe next wednesday. MAYBE

Good ol'll January

It's January again! I always feel as though we are running in circles with each passing year, picking up from where we left off!
Currently blasting songs from Coldplay, it's really a good listen especially in the night.

January so far has been quite busy, and I can only foresee myself continuing this way till start of feb? Though tired and drained everyday, this hectic schedules also makes me feel quite satisfied that I'm maxing out my 24 hours with each passing day!

The bad thing about it tho, I feel as if I've missed out a lot.

I missed out a lot of fun and opportunities to hang out with friends! Wanted to meet them but it's so hard and I feel like I'm missing out on a part of their life, especially when I feel that they might need me to you know, confide in or just catch up!

Had to painfully reject invites from Cherelle Candy Rebacca and even Sunny :(((((( Only met up with my friends once so far... at Aglio Cafe?

Luckily I have Nadirah and June with me in school!!!!!!! at least makes me feel better + good classmates.

&&& I HATE SUNNY FYP ITS EATING SO MUCH OF OUR TIME THAT WE CAN SPEND TOGETHER, which is really very little fyi!
so it's sad. haven't seen him since like 1st Jan. Luckily I managed to dig out some time tomorrow!

Anw I have some resolutions yet to be made; but I'll keep them to myself!

So anw, I have NAPFA next week, meaning jogging on a Sunday morning, as well as squeezing in time for CNY shopping + projects. Tax competition on Saturday means I must wake up at 6am to go JU-BLOODY-RONG. and also a test next week and another one after that and so many crap in between. might not sound that busy but I AM!

now I just hope to HAVE MORE TIME
