67 days... 68 topics... CRAP! I'm already late for my one-day one-topic plan!! No... Im not talking about Obama nor McCain here... just rambling about my lazy-ness to actually start studying for the SOA Exams I initially HAD plan-NED to sit this coming November 3rd!... and I thought that I actually had time to wait until the start of the semester to begin... ( pardon me, but 3 months after graduation Im still in the summer-mode being do nothing time and fall being time to be hardworking... =P eventhough it totally doesnt make sense now since basically everyday is a summer's day! )
.... shooting for C .... I guess that will be a sentence that will ring in my mind for 2 months to come...
-tik tok tik tok- Gdamnit! time is ticking away!

updates... updates... updates...
[4.26.08] Graduation "ceremony"! Yes... finally completed my studies and the thing that amazes me when I talk to my friends about this is the fact that my university actually holds this eventful ceremony merely days after finals... instead of months (before actually knowing for sure if you failed or passed for sure the few final papers you submitted moments before graduation)... hmmm... so technically you could already have worn your graduation gown... and yet come back for another semester the following term at my university... hmmm... interesting...
short thoughts: graduation is not over-rated!
[4.28.08] Embarked on a customary post-graduation trip around the US of A with family for about 3 weeks plus. Started from Washington DC, to New York, to Las Vegas, and sunny California! Had a blast spending the holidays with family from getting soaked on the Maid of the Mist to getting scorched dry walking around Disneyland... it's all fun...
short thoughts: finally went on Hollywood's Tower of Terror at Disneyland... haha... double-thumbs up for that... and yes, it is not a myth that the best place to unwind is by the less-touristy-beaches in California...
[6.05.08] 20+ hours flight back home FOR GOOD from Detroit airport all the way to KLIA... American Airlines (AA) from Toledo Ohio to Chicago O'Hare Airport before hoping onto another AA flight from there to Newark International. From there, MAS all the way with a single stop-over at Stockholm.
short thoughts: there's got to be a better way to travel between Malaysia and US!!! distance is one that is unavoidable but most of the time there is just so many freaking connections!! ergh!!... haha, for once I didn't have McDonalds at the airport... haha... decided to buy myself a nice meal at Chilli's!! they actually have one inside Newark International Airport... funny thing that since it was gonna be one of the final times that Im ever gonna be tipping anymore, left the waiter with a big-fat tip... lucky day for him i guess =)
[what have I been up to till date??] Ermmm.... Errr.... well, finally finished most of the video games that I brought home from the US... haha, FINALLY!! time to buy new ones!! hehe... anyway, did some random job-searches... hung out with friends that I havent met in ages... and went around to eat the delicacies that I have been missing out on... and I have now officially cultivated an obsession for cendols! haha... dunno why but they never tasted so good! basically, just glad to be home with everything that feel ever so familiar.. =)
[Latest update 9.02.08] Will officially be starting work next Tuesday after Merdeka weekend... found a finance-related position based in Penang and decided to take up the offer since Im not doing much at home these days anyway... might as well go and earn some money for the Penang-road cendols!! haha... Im seriously gonna drink until puas-puas when im there... hehe...
short thoughts: currently contemplating if i should take up SOA exam this coming November... think I will take it... but still not 100% certain... would be sucky if i withdraw half way and lose valueble USD in non-refundable registration fees... hmmm... will decide soon
