ok just got back from a very stressful time at orchard hotel.

anyway, long story shortened. the westmark people had decided that they only wanted people who could work until aug 20th and beyond. which is well into our second week of school. so after that annoucement, we had an extremely panicky fifteen minutes in the toilet calculating calculating and weighing pros and cons. before we finally decided that we would give up first week of school and stick with westmark hotels. and so, we went ahead with the interview, which i can safely say was the easiest interview i've ever been through. in fact it was more like i was interviewing the interviewers than viceversa. and so the bottom line is, i actually signed a document saying that i would be going off to alaska from may10 to aug20 next year. man we were so shellshocked after that. we walked out of the hotel dazed? haha.

went over to forum to have chocolatecake and pie at secret recipie. we got a little more excited there. will just have to focus on the money, the northern lights etc instead of the having to be away from home for more than three freaking months (and missing lots of birthdays in the process), the possible cold, the having to bid for modules abroad, the missing first week or so of school, the ABSOLUTELY NO CITY LIFE etcetcetc. went over to lido supermarket to look at instant singaporean food which we are each devoting 5kg of luggage space to. haha.

ok anyways, off to aunty's house for grandma's 90th (whoa) birthday now!

[edit]

birthday party. very interesting. we had songs, games and dedications. didnt expect that. haha. anyway, pictures..
