to someone. who just seems to pop up at critical junctures of my life.

two days now. i have spent at st elec, and i daresay it has been one kind of a learning exp, with many more months to come. i dont know how much MORE i can continue learning at this rate man. not that my brain cant take it (me being sick having much to blame) but the sustainability of the info that im taking in being able to keep me interested in what im doing. but honestly. so far so good. not even WHY acquire and merger as of yet. its still at the basics. what do balance sheets mean. what does income statement mean. what is supply chain management. ERP (not the singapore version). SAP. there's a completely different lingo out there (better. MUCH better than the SOC/IPPT/turn-out lingo that i was used to)

the person mentioned above is none other then the ONE and ONLY ALEX LIM. if you do ever read this alex. PLEASE leave your name behind. but i highly doubt so. so here goes.

the guy that brought me to zyf. and now in city harvest. and now. years down the road. he tells me he's now a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) and yeah. when i told him what i was doing in ST Electronics, he was jumping up and down, all excited and crazy like the alexlim i used to know and love. (like what he told me. as much as i haven't changed. he. hasn't changed one bit as well) he told me about prospects. he told me about scholarships and opportunities and experience. he told me how GIC wanted smart ppl like me (yeah.yeah.) and all. he was the same. full of drive and exuberance. stuff that you could rub off. and yeah. he left me many questions i needed to answer on my own. and oh. the desire to just want to know more about what im doing (he had made it sound very interesting. hahah)

it was a chance meeting (he had bumped into the (always handsome) gab pang at the mrt station, when i saw the two jokers. it was like a 1e/2e gathering after what must have been a million years. three jokers. one vj,one rj, one hc. united by a chance meeting. talking about finance and equities and bonds and NTA and... man. how we've grown. so much.

but yes. nostalgia of good old ri days when i used to be carefree(and still am at times. its called escapism) aside, i just want one thing right now.

passion. for it really really REALLY drives a person.
passion. i lack.
back to st elec tmr. to learn more about. whatever. working life. finance. the works.
back to st elec. hoping to find my passion.

so julie. i saw your eyes again.
did we talk last night. about the little things?
