A breather at last

After the marketing test on monday, and the management journal due earlier today. I finally get a break for 1 day before having to start on the accounting assignment due next monday. Supposed to get a good night's sleep today but I ended up wasting my time watchin hard gay crap on youtube and playing some much missed Daoc.

Can't really put my mind to ease though. Constantly worried about the results of my management and marketing. I really hope I can achieve a 80% at least, so that'll cut me some slack for the final examination. I don't have a backup plan of studying in Singapore now since Monash has pulled out of TMC. So it's a do or die situation for me where I need to make it over to Australia to conitnue with year 2.

Onto the weekend. Managed to get a room at Raffles The Plaza. I can't gurantee that it'll overlook the fireworks display at the esplanade but yea, you guys are all invited for a sleep over if interested. Could go for some booze that night too.. maybe at Introbar? Or some clubbing hangout? /shrug. I'm quite oblivious to the clubbing scene now. Or better yet, BYOC (or laptops for that matter) and we can LAN some crap game together. Let me know anyway, or I'll have to restort to inviting my harem of ladies for company that night. :D

And yes.. the parade yesterday was rather interesting. Not so much of seeing the men-in-white or the parade itself, but the feeling of being treated as a VIP was great. More so when it was a year before when I was doing the sai kang at the Padang. After experiencing what goes behind the scene first hand, I'm really appreciative of this luxury I have... something I didn't treasure yesteryears. To park right beside the stadium, just beside the Chief of Army's vehicle.. to have my name on an invitation card.. to be seated with the VIPs, including last year's ex-co chairman and GRC leaders.. to be greeted "sir" by majors (lol!) and ushered by captains, etc. 1 word - Phenomenal. Was good to be with the people who are either damn rich, damn influencial, damn old and experienced or simply good looking young wives. Hopefully 1 day I'll accomplish something to be regarded as one.

Alright. Ego trip's over. Off to sleep.
