Holiday Plans

Really not sure if anyone's reading this week? It's a few days before exams! Grrghhh...

Remember the time when *I* was mugging for exams, I would daydream *a bit* about what to do *after* exams. Not sure if the students have made their holiday plans yet... Internship? Overseas trips? I'm sure they have figured out what's best for them, and how to utilize their long-long-long holiday break effectively (other than play catch up on sleep).

Our two lovely final-year New Zealander ladies have already begun their holidays last week. Not wasting any time ya. Kimberley is backpacking in north of Vietnam (wow!) and Aana flew to Canada. Hope they are having a wonderful time.

I know some of the students taking modules with complete CAs, are not hibernating for any exams (lucky ones ;-) and I know that a number will be heading out for internships (locally or overseas) eg. in JPMorgan. Good luck, do remember to check back at the blog constantly. Will *try* to have at least one post a day (you know, it's difficult to come up with fresh new ideas every day!). Hence, would like to encourage if you have anything, just anything interesting under the sun during the long term holiday, please, please just share with me and drop me a note. I'll be delighted to hear from you. Stay in touch!

I think it is difficult not only to come up with fresh ideas but also to keep blogging everyday. It requires discipline.

I know a group of students will be heading to HK for a business mission trip. Another going to Philippines for a youth humanitarian expedition. A few heading to India for internships. Another heading to China... A few have made tentative plans in going to the US.

Hey! Let me know... Keep me updated. Thanks!

Hey Celeste! SAS usually has e very gd rates. Do go to a travel agency instead of booking online, cuz the travel agencies sell cheaper tickets since they 'block-book'. Its usually more ex to buy online fr e airline unless its a promotion.

Well, what can I say? Last semester was my holiday, and my holidays are now my exchange semester.

And I'm loving it!!! =D

It also means I have exams up till the week before school starts, and I'm missing the first week of school next AY because exam dates weren't confirmed earlier, and I had to pick a flight date to accomodate the latest possible exam dates.

In other words, I'm flying back 1 week after school starts in NUS, and I'll be on holiday for 10 days before I fly back =X
