Chronicles of a Young College Boy

Saturday, August 16, 2008

Wua what a summer this has been. If I were to read this post at the start of the summer, i would not have believe a single word of it. I remembered clearly at the start that i did not feel excited at all coming back to singapore, it actually feels wrong because i normally stay in the US for the summer, and I thought i would have more fun in the US than in Spore. Boy oh boy was I so wrong. This is by far the best summer in comparison with the past 2 summers.

Summer starts off with the disastrous start with UBS, which I was convinced was going to make my summer an misery. Buuut things got better and I become more adapt with the work, especially excel.

And then new people starts coming in, Marco, Ling Min, Rebecca, and the WM program folks. They really were the ones who made this summer so fun for me (plus trusty old Max). During the graduation night of the Wealth Management Program, it's funny tht I feel glimpses of similarity with the graduation I had 3 years ago with my secondary school friends (except for the clubbing part tht is hehe). It's just weird that now I'm feeling so sentimental over leaving singapore again that it almost feels like leaving back in '06. I don't really know how I should explain it, but its so much fun to hang out with these people.

Basically after the WM program, everything was going so much better for me because i knew more people and i had something new in my life: the party scene. As probably many of my friends know, I was always the "good student". Frankly speaking, I was tired of living that life and I wanted to change, to experience something new. This summer has definitely given me the opportunity to do so. I was lucky enough to be around 2 people who have more or less been at all the clubs and bars I went to. Those r the 2 people that are in the picture. They were pretty much a lot more experienced than I was when it comes to these category of life.

To a certain extent, I think this summer is almost like a mini-US, when it comes to how much effect it has on me. I remember in US I was struggling so much during the first semester in terms of fitting in and adapting. But after the first semester I was more or less having a blast. This summer was to a certain extent the same. I was struggling during the first week and things started to become fun, espeecially during the program itself. I wouldn't say I changed as much as I did for US, but I did change. Buuuttt the change didn't come without a price. I was afraid that I became more arrogant, more of a know-it-all. Ooo well, I'm again lucky to have my parents who will put me back where I should be when I'm out of line =).

ah well, I probably have to get to bed now to catch my very early flight, which is in about....7 hours. =)
