I had a hair cut today... and did something I never really thought I would do - I highlighted my hair reddish using my natural colour as the base. Turned out quite well I think. Now my hair has this purply/maroon hue to it. So yeah... Quite happy with the job and I think the stylist who cut my hair was pretty good. All thanks to Yuanshan for her recommendation.

Other than that, it's been hanging out with the SN gals - from visiting our alma mater where we met 10 years ago, savouring orange bowl noodles whilst reminiscing about the good ol'days, to dinner and chilling out at Wala Wala, plus going for a hair job today. Nice!

Yeah... must make use of the time before Mabel goes off for her exchange to HK in 2 weeks. Its interesting how at least one of us SMU-ers have been missing at least once a sem for 3 consecutive sems due to exchange. And Shwen is back! So it's more hanging out to compensate for the soon-to-be one year absence as she heads back for her 4th year of study. Ade!!! Come back soon!

Need to ration out my chilling out time and to take out some time for work as I still have outstanding stuff to settle. It is time to get back to school mode, seeing how the NUS-ers and NTU-ers have started school liao.

So many things to settle in the new acad year. I think I booked myself onto an unforgettable ride. I just hope it is not the wrong decision. 2CUs, thesis, oral defense. These are scary words. To come up with and execute my own research project... Oh well... nothing is impossible after all.

Plus, I'm still deciding if I should carry on with the HR Training and Development module I got, or take on Finance just to learn more. If I do Finance, should I ask if I can audit the class or just bid for it outright? I'm not sure how Finance (or T&D) + 2 psych mods will work out in the midst of thesis preparation. But 2 psych mods seems very little. Haiz... decisions... Maybe I should just ditch the Finance idea...

On a side note, HK's still beckoning at the end of the year, which is good!

Been back for a week... It's just been busy, busy, busy... I think I need a break from going out. To just chill at home, catch up on sleep, do nothing.

My first feelings after I arrived is that I haven't exactly left at all. Nothing changed... except the Seiyu is now BHG, U2 is called G2000 blu. But all these are subtle changes...

Was treated to lovely Donut Factory the day I arrived, courtesy of my brother who went to queue and luckily for him, it only took him half and hour or so he claims but nevertheless, a nice gesture. By the way, they are scrumpilicious. Had Jap food for dinner.

Monday marked the start of the meeting of various friends and various groups of friends. It's nice to see everyone again! Plus I had to go back to school to settle stuff like my senior thesis and some job I was working on before I left. So that explains why i'm in school now. Going out for lunch and then I'm going home to sleep...
