Update

Okay so, although you probably have not noticed, sometimes I put up a few posts in a day about different events that happened days or weeks ago. The reason is, I am rarely on my laptop. The only reason why I'm on here now is because I have nothing to do in the office (I will talk about that later). I am always on my phone. Anything that can be done on my laptop, I try to find a way to do on my phone. I even found a really cool Blogger App for Android. BUT. (there is always a but) BUT the app sucks. so. bad. It's convenient sure. I can upload pictures directly from my phone and type and save and then continue later. The problem is, the app keeps force closing. As in the "Not Responding" thing that nobody likes. And whatever you've previously typed before will be gone. Worse thing about it is that it happens at random times. I'm not going to click save after each and every word I type. And it doesn't automatically save it for you like the computer version either. So when I was in Singapore last month, I gave up blogging thru my phone and typed it in my notes instead. 'It' being short incomplete sentences which I will edit if I'm rajin enough. If not, I'll just copy and paste the whole thing here without editing. I'll do that maybe in the next few days.

A few things have happened since the last post (which on here is the Bocce post but in life is Singapore: Day 1). I'll list them:

1. Firstly, I started doing an attachment in the beginning of January at an engineering firm because I've applied for a course in Civil Engineering in a couple of overseas universities. I got to learn more about what a civil engineer does. I have to admit, walking in here I had literally no idea what they do or what it is about. I just applied for Civil Engineering because I wasn't interested in other branches of engineering haha. But why so set on engineering? Because...ever since I was a kid, I've never wanted to be a doctor, teacher or lawyer. Being in the entertainment industry is an impossible dream. So i settled for engineering. My last day here will be tomorrow. I've learnt alot and am i regretting my choice? Abit. Am I going to change it? No.

2. I went back to Singapore again last week. With my parents and grandparents this time. We stayed at the newly opened Hotel Boss. It's nice coz it's new HAHA. The MRT station is a few minutes walk away. Nice morning exercise. No road crossing necessary. I mention this because I personally am TERRIBLY PETRIFIED of crossing the road. AND for the first time, I shopped around the single single shops in Chinatown. My mom and I were pleasantly surprised that the clothes there are super pretty. More shopping YAY! Not enough space in luggage YAY! I wonder why we never thought of packing a box home...

3. I found out my A Level results yesterday and I'm super happy. But now here comes the pain of responsibility. Deciding on a university. It doesn't help that I'm a very indecisive person. I've asked two people on their opinion. One didn't give me a firm choice, which is what advice is supposed to be, but in this case a firm choice would be helpful. The other one said go to UK. But there's still the issue of money that I need to think about.. Staying here is definitely not an option haha no offense. When I ask my friends where they want to go, none have said Brunei. But sometimes, Brunei can be their only choice.

4. CNY is coming and the issue of lion dance has come up again. IGNORING DOESN'T MEAN THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I typed up a rant on Microsoft Word which I shall keep confidential because I might go to jail if I put it up. My dad will be putting up the decorations when he comes back. Can't wait~

5. The Consumer Fair is back for the 17th time. It happens twice a year at ICC. I remember it being at the Indoor Stadium once but that was a bust. So every one since then has been at ICC. My dad sets up booths there every year so I'm usually there at every fair. It's pretty much the same thing time and time again yet I get super excited when it arrives hahaha. It'll be open to the public until 31st January.

That's all I can think of now. I'll post again when something comes to mind.

Thanks for reading.
