Almost reaching the half-way mark of the semester, and this is the dreadful period of deadlines and stress. But it's the last time I'm ever getting all these. Once May is here, it'd be through and I cease to be a student.
It's also the time when resumes are sent, and rejection letters are received. You see, one dreadful question to be asked is "Have you found a job?". Yea, and I'm prepared to answer the same reply for the next couple of months. Jobs, come!
Anyway, it's almost certain that I'll embark on a month-long graduation trip to faraway Europe. The excitement is there, but the preparation work is daunting! I can safely tell you that I'm 10 times more conversant with the geography of Europe now than just 3 weeks ago, and so much more research awaits to be done! But, it's of course something that I'd gladly do, 100 times more so than the design project that is due next month.
So, to help me out with Europe planning, do PM me about suggestions that you may have regarding the following countries: Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France. Your help is greatly appreciated and cherished!

It was the last CNY weekend this year. I did enjoy the squad gathering at yuyi's, of great home-cooked food and entertaining rounds and rounds of gamblings. You know you're no longer a kid, when the topics during such gatherings revolve not just about work and applying BTO flats, but also about giving angbao to parents and friends' weddings.
On another note, it was also Papa's birthday over the weekend, and so attempted to give him a steamboat treat as part of his birthday celebration. 'Attempted', because it was turned down. He opted for a meal that's way cheaper. He's worried about my wallet. He's the most thrifty man I've ever known. And he almost never spent on himself. How can he ever be convinced that, perhaps a once-in-a-long-while extravagance is worthwhile too?
