Wow... My petrol should be half used by since I last pump on Saturday morning.

Nowadays, whenever things are not looking good, I figure out the best way to make things appear better.

Avoidance.

It might not make things go any better in the future but it will definitely make things more peaceful in the present. In the past, I used to tackle the problem head on but I found out that this approach is wrong in a relationship(academically wise, it is better to do otherwise). What is the use for finding a solution for a problem which keep recurring? The problem could very likely can only be settled by tolerance and compromises. In my opinion, avoidance could be a form a tolerance.

What the use of having good academic results when my family sucks? Most likely they will affect other's opinion on me in a negative way.

What the use of having good academic results again if friends are not there for me? In my list of contacts, I can hardly find anyone who will go with me for a drink if I were to approach them.

What the use of being in such a long relationship when the days of anger are more than the days of love?

So many questions on what the uses that I really have the urge to go back to my old days... Carefree, relax and withdrawn. At least everything is much more peaceful then.

Got my results... Was having high expectation this time round but I guess I should be glad with what I got. At least my 3.8 grade has been maintained. Here's my results...

Advance Financial Accounting - AD
Auditing 2 - AD
Company Law - B+
Managerial Accounting - AD
Taxation 2 - A+
PC Technology - B+
World Issues - A

More ADs to add to my resume, especially auditing! Can crap say that I am very passionate about Audit and this can be proved by getting distinction for both Audit 1 and 2 in poly. In fact, I was quite upset that I did not get at least an A got my Company Law. I got the book prize for BLAW and yet they never give me face :(

Right now, I am an intern of Bank of America(ML was bought over by them just yesterday).
Still trying to be more outspoken but I seems to be tongue-tied when in the company of my colleagues. I guess I still lack the personality to be a leader/manager. Must strive hard!!!

My girlfriend is not taking her revision seriously again! What else is new?

So far, I'm liking my internship. My main aim right now is to understand what I am doing and do my tasks quick and error free.

Btw... For the information of someone....

and not...

There is not much happenings for the week. Basically, I am having my internship programme at ML and trying to learn as much things as possible. I'm very pleased that one of my mentor actually praised me! He said that I am the first intern who successfully allocated the data without mistake on the first try =) What is better is that he praised me in front of the AVPs! Seems like my internship is going on a good start.

Clicking with the staffs in the department isn't that bad as well. Having lunch regularly with the other department's staff and slowly starting to speak more. In fact, I got to chat with my AVP while doing my tasks. Another funny incident happened. On the 2nd day, I witnessed my AVP applying access for me and sending the application with a wrong email! The error was that instead of a '@' for the email, he mistakenly used '_'. When he came over my desk on thursday to see whether the application was approved, he found it strange that no email was sent to me. Then I told him that he entered the wrong email when he raised the application. I told him that I dare not tell him since it was only the 2nd day I am at work. Everyone around my desk immediately started laughing and the AVP jokingly said that he is human as well and he makes mistake. Hope that does not left a bad impression on them.

Furthermore, there was a department lunch which is on the VP's treat. Our department ate at Jack's Place and I am the one who ordered the most expensive meal. Hope that doesn't affect my evaluation ;p My VP also ordered roasted snails. That was the first time I ate snails. Couldn't get much taste out of it as I only ate one which fulfill my VP's philosophy of "everything must at least try once". Anyway, I still think that corkles are much nicer to eat.

My relationship have its ups and downs during this week. More on the down side basically. Really hoping that I can spend more time on my other half so that the happiness would still remains. Whether she will be my soul mate for the rest of my life remains unclear. I have not decide yet but I intend to have a steady relationship before I graduate from university. I really do not think I can find a good partner once I am outside in the workforce.

That sums up my week. Rather lazy to blog nowadays.
