So I'm back again. Haha, finally I have some time to post in the morning. I've quite a bit to write about today but I'll keep it quick.
First up, I am really glad to have finally received my pay last week. It is indeed quite a few weeks overdue. My pay came in the form of a cheque though, my first cheque haha! As such, I was really careful with the cheque. That piece of paper was worth quite a lot, more than I have ever received in a lump sum hahaa! Thus, I made sure that I cashed it in properly.
Next up, I was told just a few days ago that due to the overwhelming workload, which keeps increasing incessantly I might add, I would be employed up until the end of May. This is great of course! As opposed to ending work at the end of April which was my original plan, I will now have another month's worth of work experience, not to mention pay:) This also means I do not have to worry about getting a new job any time soon, which sure is a relief. On my part, I do wish to continue working until I finish up with the work I was tasked with. So I sure am happy with the new request for the extension.
It's Sunday again today which means the weekends are coming to an end soon. However, I didn't go out yesterday. I took the time to clear out and pack the stuff in my room which has been laying around in my room gathering dust. I have not made time to pack those items since I moved in a few months ago. Yup, it is quite shocking but a few months have already passed since I moved in. Anyway, my room does look a little tidier now with some boxes out of the way. There is still lots more clearing to be done though, but I shall take things one step at a time.
Lastly, I am still waiting for news on my university applications. So far, I have not received emails on having been accepted or to inform me to attend any interviews. I have also not received any news that I have been rejected which I hope means that I still have a chance. Well, I sure do hope so.
Instead of sitting around waiting, I would be making phone calls tomorrow to the universities just to be sure.
Okay I'm done! Guess this pretty much sums up the more important things that I have had going on thus far. I sure will find time to update again soon.
ciaoz!
When the letter N and the letter S come together, it's a whole new world out there

Updates!
It's past midnight on Saturday night as I write. This week sure was a long and tiring one though.
Firstly, some updates on work so far. After some calculations, I was quite surprised to realise I have been working for around seven weeks already! Haha, I've been working close to two months already:)
The past few weeks have been really busy though. There was so much work to be done that I even had to go to work on Mondays, which was supposed to be an off day for me. Well, at least that means more pay for me then since I'm working part time, so I'm not complaining.
With the end of this week comes the end of the work that we had been rushing to complete the past couple of weeks. I sure was glad on Friday to finally see the finished product.That puts an end to all the stress we had been having. As such, I do not need to go to work on the coming Monday... finally! On another note, though still related to work, my aunt informed me a couple of weeks back that I will be getting a pay rise as they felt I had been quite productive. Yayy! Even before I received my first pay, hahaa! I had also been told that my pay should be coming in soon so I am really anticipating it.
There is still lots of work to be done though. I was just lucky to have more free time this past week to finish up most of my leftover work so that leaves me free on Monday. I have still not decided what I would do with a day off from work finally though. This needs some proper planning haha!
As for today, I met up with JL once again. Our only plan today was to catch the movie RIO 2 in Tampines and heading over to Hola Cafe in Simei for pancakes again. Quite unfortunately, we did not have the stomach for pancakes after our dinner. So I shall plan another day to drop by Hola Cafe again.
Despite that, we did catch the movie though. I found the movie rather draggy though, as is the case with most second sequels of such movies, so I feel. Too much emphasis was placed on the characters rather than the story line during the earlier part of the movie and I found myself wondering where the show was going.It became quite a bore then. Luckily, the movie did not end off too badly. The rest of the time today was spent in JL's house which certainly left us sleepy and sluggish. The day didn't go too badly though. Now to plan for next Saturday!
It's getting really late, so ciaoz! Guess I really ought to plan my time better for writing these posts uh?

University applications
Well guys, it's April already in a blink of an eye. That would mean that all applications for university has already closed. Well, the application deadlines was on 31st of March actually so it is already few days past that. Thankfully, I did manage to finalised the submission of my university applications by the 31st though it was once again really last minute. Still, I did make sure I did not submit very shabby work.
Anyways, I opened my email today and saw that one of my teachers had already submitted an appraisal for me through SUTD. Haha, that was sure some progress. Now I'm just waiting for more news from the universities. I sure do hope the acceptance notice comes in soon!
