A hectic Saturday

Erm.. i'm kinda amazed by my energy level these days.. little sleep but still managing to survive pretty well. I started my day at 8am.. out of the house by 11.30 for rehearsal and then the SPN mentoring thing... and i spent the next 6 hours walking around, drinking coffee, eating dinner... looking for dessert... ended up eating Local desert... like.. ICE Kachang! the most expensive ice kachang ever!! Guess how much? cost almost S$9?!?! Haha, anw i'm beginning to convert less and less which is not a bad thing i guess.

I met my mentor... she's this quite hips "bad girl" in the sense that she's discouraging me from doing internship in year 1 (Gasp!) To like enjoy life more... err.. rebellion! She was saying about how there are few job opportunities for Ibankers in Singapore etc and how she felt weird going back to Singapore because all her friends seemed to have moved on and she's enjoying herself really much in London staying with 2 other guys from America and Lebanon whom she found through the internet... er.. now u know why i label her as a "bad girl" haha. Yeah. it was quite weird cos when we had nothing much to say to each other, we both just stared into space and to break the ice... guess what i talked about... the weather! Argh, how boring but everyone talks about the weather here. How these few days have been surprisingly pleasantly warm but how next week will dip to 0 degrees again. Anw, she's earning really quitealot working as an Investment banker. Not sure the exact amount but from what i heard.. it's close to $200 000 a year. Yeah, but the taxes here are freakilyalot too. So, yeah, there's this craze ... i mean, we're at the LSE. The school that's obsessed with money making and banking that kinda stuff, so u're drawn into it. Argh, yeah, maybe we should just chill more in year one... and not fret about internships. Boo... er, not quite possible i think though it'd be nice to be a little more laid back.

Ahhh... i've got loads of work to do, rehearsals are going to be 3 times a week... hwachong night's coming up, er, volunteering starting... Need more energy... ENERGY!
