S A N D R A there's nothing wrong with my name. If you think you know me, read my blog and think again. I'm imperfect and I'm Lovin' It. I'm the only witness and the only person who can judge my life.
This is my blog, so read it or leave it.

Have lower expectations so that life is less stressful and you can live happier. It's ok to fall, but you must remember how to get back up.
THIS IS TOTALLY CRAZY!!
After 1 month of searching, I finally received requests for interviews..
After registering myself with Jobscentral, I have gotten 3 calls in one hour!
All 3 from the same sector --- the finance sector.
I don't know if I can still allow myself to be picky..
But I am not entirely interested in venturing into the finance sector..
It's drawing closer to the Commencement Ceremony already..
It's depressing when many people you know have job offers or already working..
Anyway, I have finally received a rejection letter from DXO..
Ya.. It took them almost 3 months to give a reply.. So disappointing..
Actually I hope to do something related to science or something familiar at least..
Oh.. I applied for a Junior Manager Program under Bosch yesterday..
It sounds interesting, I hope I can get selected..

I didn't know what exactly I ate yesterday that caused me to laosai..
It was quite a shocking moment in the toilet..
It was double the amount compared to my normal trip to the toilet..
What exactly is it?
Tea? Coke? Pizza? Tortellini? Dumpling noodles? Garlic bread? Minestrone?
Cannot really figure which one is it..
I totally lost my mood with the computer after the trip to the toilet..
Cannot really sleep well with the stomach churning too..
But I think my stomach is getting weaker already..
I cannot even overcome a glass of milk.. Sigh..

I had started watching a new drama series, Mr Brain.
The lead actor is Kimura Takuya, acting as a neuroscientist.
A crime is solved in every episode using the knowledge of neuroscience.
I would recomend this series for those who like science and mysteries.
By the way, I have just finished reading Angels and Demons which I borrowed from Elaine.
The story is very nice, I could hardly put down the book.
Surprisingly, I finished reading 600+ pages in 4 days!
I have broken my personal reading record! (FYI, I read terribly slow)
It was a good thing I watched the movie before I read the book.
There seem to be quite a few differences.
The series of events, the characters involved and the ending.
I bet I would be cursing in the cinema if I have read the book before that.
I like the book more than the movie.
Maybe because it explains more things that were not included in the movie.
Even though both are somewhat talking about the same story, there are still many surprises that one can find in the book even after watching the movie.
I was kind of surprised when I started reading because I assumed that the movie followed the book closely.
So, I will recommend this book anyway. Good read.

Advances in technology may have been made with good intentions..
But sometimes, it creates trouble for us too..
I am currently experiencing one at home..
Recently, there isn't much to watch on the local TV channels..
So, I cleverly thought I could introduce the internet to my mother..
I brought her to the website with tons of dramas and movies..
She can catch her favourite Korean dramas there..
There was once when she finished a series of 25 episodes in 4 days..
It's good that she found a new activity to occupy her boring afternoons..
BUT, she'll start to bug us for theme songs of the dramas..
Whine for us to introduce more good Korean dramas..
Complain a lot when the videos are missing or not loading..
Well, there is not much that we can do about it..
Our knowlegde and abilities have limits, there are problems that we cannnot solve..
Sometimes, I wondered if it was wrong to introduce online channels to my mother..

Some interesting things that I found out over the past few days:
Aunties who thinks they are indispensible to their company, use resignation forms as a protection from any attacks by other colleagues.. (It seemed to be quite effective as observed.)
The amount of food to be prepared for any female-dominated gatherings should be estimated by the number of non-dieting females attending instead of the total number of people attending.
Milk seem to be useful for clearing the digestive system. (It worked for my case. I am not sure about others.)
With the economy so bad and desperate people out there who are messing with the market rate, it is quite difficult to put a minimum expected salary for a university graduate without any working experience.
Only after being in another person's shoes can one start to understand why certain actions were taken by that person. (I understood a little why my brother was emo-ing for about a month after his break-up after I experienced mine.)
Hall takes up a lot of time and shuts one out from the outside world. (I missed out on a lot of things that were happening outside hall. I didn't really thought it was a lot until I started to do some catching up with my friends and family. It's really A LOT!!)
YAY!!! I've got NDP preview tickets!!
The better news? I have 6 of them!!
Wahaha!!! But I'm going to watch with my family..
It's around my father's birthday anyway!
We'll be saying,"Happy Birthday Pa" instead.. =P
It has been a long long time since I have been to NDP..
So long ago that I cannot remember when..
Maybe I went there before this century.. =P

Yay!! I went shopping with Elaine today!
We went to shop for 'working' clothes at Marina Square..
I bought an office skirt from G2000..
Though it's a bit ex.. But considering the investment, it's worth it..
I also spotted a pink blouse in the shop..
But it's just too bad that they don't have my size in the shop..
So sian.. Why my top have to be so big?
Hmm.. Actually a size smaller is also quite ok with me..
But the size I want is more comfortable to wear..
Anyway, I think I should really really start to shed some mass off myself..
If not, I don't think they will ever have my size in the shops anymore.. =(
