ahh, I appear to have been missed by 2 readers :D
my trip was lots of fun, especially the weather! one cannot believe how absolutely sucky sg weather is all the time. bring me to europe anytime!
internship was very enriching, became a ucits expert, haha.
UCITS is a european fund, that is heavily regulated, and becoming increasingly popular because of that(esp post madoff).
i met someone who's convinced that a person only needs 5 friends at any one time, and in fact can only have 5 friends, any more of which is unnecessary and impossible. and as long as one of the 5 is always your spouse, you'll be fine.
this i absolutely disagree with. i definitely have more than 5 friends i want to talk to at once, all of whom play parts of varying importance in my life. no doubt, in this age when so many are studying overseas, and more might work overseas, it is getting increasingly difficult. but life goes on, so we make full use of technology and human effort. how depressing that life goes on, it'd have been perfect if life could have remained post-JC, pre-uni (but then, i'd never have met my uni friends). i love my friends :)
its always nice to spend time with my best friend, even just sitting and doing nothing :)
i've got friends who are still very good friends even though we can never remember to talk very often.
friends who always try to talk to me, no matter how busy i am :)
the one important thing i've learnt about friends from a long time ago is to beware of, what i call, friends in the moment. these are people with whom you can have a great time, but to whom you don't really matter. and hence, not to expect anything more than the occasional good time.
i shall slack this week away, and then see what i can find from next week :)
lovely idle bliss :D
