I have graduated!!Results were okay. International Economics wasn't up to my expectation but it was Funds Management that surprised me.Now I owe two people a meal and a movie for losing the bet.When will I ever win a bet.I have been losing bets ever since the World Cup..meaning since standard 6..grrr...bottomline..I suck at betting.

Now I really don't now what to do.My main plan keeps changing so I just decided to combine these two together.I have decided to send out resumes and if I can't get any attractive or satisfactory job offers, I will continue studying...or..I do my internship first,and see whether I like the banking industry.If I do, I will continue that for Masters.Settled then..Goody!

Everyone is coming back!This is really great!We must all have a grad party!so cool!see you guys when you get back here

Lastly, a Merry Christmas to all the readers and have a great one!

Ho-ho-ho!Christmas is coming!One of my favorite holidays of the year.Since nobody is getting me a Christmas present this year, I got myself one.But, additional Christmas presents from others are still welcomed.I bought a new guitar.By saying I got myself a new guitar, it means I paid for it myself.Now,before you guys says what a waste of money it is,I need it for my classical guitar exam.Also,I think it's time to upgrade from a beginner's guitar to a concert guitar. It is a second hand guitar and cost me RM 3,000. It's an okay price for a Manuel Rodriguez guitar model D. I have been trying it out and have been loving the tone from this guitar.So,guess I am currently broke now.At least it's a motivation for me to stop shopping for I have to save now.Below, it's a picture of my new prized possession.




Results are coming out this week.I have no idea why but for this semester,I don't actually feel worried about it.Okay,maybe I am still worried about it but it is at a minimal level compared to previous semesters.Maybe it's because I can't really care less whether I graduate or not.For one reason, I am really feeling the pressure of finding a job or doing masters.Yes,I have decided 80% that I am going to do Masters until my brother had to come and tell me the cons of masters..like..it's really hard,a lot of assignments,still have to face the study and exam pressure...and telling me the advantages of working.So, I am not really sure now.I am having a conflict of feelings of graduating.If I do an extra semester, I got at least half a year more to decide and will not have to face all these problems.This method is called running away from problems and it is not encouraged in life unless you really meet a dead end like me.Well, it is a better way compared to suicide anyway.The cons of not graduating..hmmm...I would have to go back to HELP again, not being able to graduate with my other friends. Also, my plans with Chai Len would be a no go.See, what we planned to do was, since the convocation was going to be in Shangri-La, we decided to stay one night in Shangri-La before the convocation, party our asses off in K.L, and attend the convocation the next day.HAHAHA..sounds kinda great..but..we will see whether this plan will be actually put into place.

So yeah,don't really know what to do now.Three quarters of me want to graduate while the rest don't really want to.Gr..life.And this is just the beginning to many other decisions I have to make in the future.But, really, I think the hardest decision of my life would be a marriage proposal.To say yes,or not to.Time shall tell...

Okay..it has been a while and I figured I should upload my Shanghai pictures by now. Below, is a picture of where I lived. I didn't stay at a hotel but instead I stayed in a friend's house.I was staying in a Korean area as there were many Korean folks and restaurants around.



As you all know, Shanghai is famous for it's Xiao Long Bao.And coincidentally, when I went there, it was the crab season.So, the fillings inside the Xiao Long Bao were all related to crabs such as crab's egg,meat.And it was the best.I went to this famous old shop where I waited for half an hour for a seat.It's near the Shanghai Bund.Below is the pig blood's soup and crab xiao long bao.







Then went out for a walk at the Shanghai Bund.A bit cold but it was alright.Love the view there.Went to the old and new side to get opposite view of each other.







Bottom line is Shanghai has a lot of delicacies.Here are some of them


Vege on ice..haha..China salad


My favorite dessert!


Starters-the Shanghai style


Taste great but a killer for women who keeps their eye on their figure


Pan fried Xiao Long Bao..there is sesame underneath it!My 2nd fav!


Noodles..Looks spicy but really isn't..maybe it's coz of the cold weather

The following pics are all about crab..It's a crab feast!


Carb Meat and Cab Egg cooked together.Warning:not for those with high cholesterol


More crab meat!


Nice...


Beancurd with crab egg


Waiting to be eaten

The best part about eating crab here is that you don't have to take out the shell yourself.They are all done by the pros and laid out nicely.


The crab's head


Lol!


The part with the black sesame contains meat I think and the white sesame part contains some dessert which I forgot..good combination anyways.


Shanghai "Zhar Xiew Bao"


Claypot Rice!!

So,I ate quite a lot in Shanghai.But..I didn't put on weight!!Kudos to me!!haha..Until next time..

Gonna use the K.I.S.S way to blog this time.It means keep it simple stupid.

Just got back from Shanghai 2 days ago. No pics up yet due to my laziness to edit and upload.Will do so when I have the mood. Filling my holidays with much activities that I can. Gonna take chinese classes from my mom..learning to read and write..hopefully it's not too hard.Also enrolling in ballroom dance classes.Should be going tomorrow to try it out.Didn't put on any weight in Shanghai(thank God!). Got a few nice winter clothes from Shanghai even thought Malaysia has no winter but who knows, it might come handy in the future.Also, going for internship and in the mean time, decide whether I want to work or continue my Masters.But firstly,get my results..

Simple and short enough?
