Exams
Finally exams are over, projects are over. time to slack. honestly, i envision myself to slack all the way till next year end of sem. cos got onli 1 course, AB311, to clear, the rest are optional modules which i'd definitely SU it if i got them. so except for the FYP and this core module, I see myself with plenty of time to learn new skills, have more fun. haha.

Interviews
Went to a couple of interviews to secure a full time job after I grad, including one in the mist of exams. unfortunately all are still "in the air" admist this financial crisis. I must stress that the interview offered by credit suisse and merill lynch (Yes! surprisingly they are still around) are very very different. Credit was relatively much simpler as compared to that of merill. Selection process is much shorter as well, onli the standard computer tests and a superday in their office where the interview and group discussion is being held. In contrast, merill was much more lengthy and wishy washy. after the computer tests, a phone interview, a face interview, and I think several more. Of course I cant comment further as i'm onli currently juz after the face interview. The stark contrast in their approach is that merill was much more technical based while credit focus more on the candidate qualities.

I consider myself lucky as compared to my peers who did not even have the chance to go for an interview. I must admit that finding your competitive advantage, what sets you apart from others, is really important and bank on it to get yourself a job. with that, when going for interview, there's no need to pretend to be some1 your not, hence less stressful.

Well, I hope i'm offered both. As for the rest who haven reply, i'm still waiting =)

Holidays
Bought a new pair of inline skates after my last paper on thurs. Been planning to do dat since months ago. finally got them. Alastair went down specially for company. nice bro huh.. I'm gonna learn skating and skate like a pro someday. haha.
