i'm back! partly cuz i miss writing. and writing finance essays don't count please. a friend was just talking to me the other day about my future jobs since i'll be graduating this june. i myself have been toying with several ideas but i know one thing is constant. i want one which will allow me to travel. lol. anyway, he writes for the petrochem industry or some shit like that and was asking me to join him. and he's earning quite a fair bit, more so than the norm a graduate gets. plus he travels once a month for conferences. interesting. plus it's writing. opens up one more possibility aye?

having made the switch from accountancy to banking (which was not a good choice seeing the current financial turmoil now - then again, who was to foresee this coming?), i even thought of going into risk. hedging and stuff. very interesting. of course there's still the position of cabin crew which i'd so love to do for 2 years. oh by the way, ignore the post dated 5th may. i'm really considering if it's something i really really want to do. true, the status attached to being one is damn attractive. but the culture and all. shrugs. or a station manager with SIA. posted to an airport overseas which SIA flies to, overseeing all their operations. that's nice too. imagine being posted to paris cdg please. and it'd kinda fulfil my ambition of working for SIA. lastly, i've toyed with the idea of working overseas (kinda to escape wearing green, or so i hope). hong kong's very cosmopolitan, i like. france would be nice too. but the tax rates, hmmm. sigh. dilemma, dilemma.

on a totally different note, i was at this kueh stall buying some kueh. so i pointed to the makcik and told her i wanted 3 of those. and she asked me nicely, "what is this called?" and i was like "err... *smiles*". and my malay has never been the B3 standard it is on the certificates. sometimes i think i fail as a malay. lol.

ps. let's hope i'll keep this writing going. ;)
