(Creative ideas in warehousing meeting)
Q: What are the cons of a U-shaped warehouse layout?
A: A lot of hidden corners- workers can easily hide in a corner to slack. Forklifts may bang into each other because they can’t see around corners.

I got an email on guidelines for filing for graduation, and this is what it read:
1. Access to facilities/buildings/library will cease 4 weeks from the date of official graduation.
2. Access to intranet/OASIS will cease 8 weeks from the date of official graduation.
Those words cut a lot deeper than I thought it would.
As I’m piled in a lot busier modules than I expected to be in for my final semester, I’m all geared for grad trip, ready to fully enjoy it, more so than my exchange. I’m looking forward to saying goodbye to things with my sis and meeting up with people that are dear to both of us.
And yet… I have had so many memories in these four years, so major to who I am today in their joy and pain… that I actually teared up on reading those words.
Sometimes, I can’t wait to leave and move on to a new phase in life and really walk away from the past. Sometimes, I hear all you dear people’s laughter, your love that I have learned and am learning so much from, and I don’t know how I am going to leave this cocoon behind. Sometimes, I’m excited about my future. Sometimes, I’m reminded how ardous the path ahead is going to be. And sometimes, most sometimes, You remind me that You’ll always be there, holding my hand.
I’ve always loved the Google designs for special occasions, but today’s one has got to be my favourite of all time! Happy birthday, Mr Dahl, and for all the tales I grew up with (:Aside from that, school’s been pretty traumatic. The idea of the amount of stuff we have to do for Corp Reporting scares the heck out of me. Though I’m only doing four mods this sem, the finance classes are taking their toll.
Yup, so basically nothing’s new. Ha.
Good news though- I’m off to Switzerland for exchange next semester! Any less of SMU is a great thing.
It’s quite funny when you’re finally living your life you sort of want to, and it’s just so tiring you start pining for the life where you didn’t have to take anything seriously and you didn’t like people quite so much, because then there wouldn’t be quite so much at stake…
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and probably be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safely in the casket of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become impenetrable, irredeemable… The only place outside heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers of love, is hell.
- C. S. Lewis
I must go and do my readings 
Tomorrow will worry about itself.
Mid-term break is here! It’s high time for an update of sorts.
One dude that I’m stuck with for too many classes this sem! Hoho. Though I’m glad to have him around.
I love my nerdy boy, even if he is the world’s least photo-friendly person. And we know its everyday for us.
Known this girl for almost two years already! I really hope we grow together this year (:

Well, it is 3.35 a.m..
One thing that I’ve been noticing a lot around campus recently. I mean it’s always been this way. It’ s just that it’s been really especially apparent of late.
So much arrogance. I don’t necessarily mean that in a bad sense. It’s just that everyone is so aware of themselves, what they are capable of, and really push for excellence in everything they do.
This is a wonderful thing- to finally find your purpose and being old enough to go about doing it too!- this is the age where you just feel that you are capable of doing anything. It’s very beautiful.
And yet this self-obsession and self-pride- it worries me no end.
All so sure of ourselves. What does it all even mean, in the long haul? It’s something everyone knows, and yet continue to ignore, and will continue to ignore. It’s not a fun idea. It surely is so much easier to love the ideals: self-creation, self-worth, self-identity, self-discovery.
Self, self, self.
God never set out to win a popularity contest.
Yesterday: Dinner with Alaska, Peiying and Helen, where we laughed and bimbo-talked until it was time for the place to close. Ok now I have to pass my driving test!
Today: Reverie went down to the Young Changemakers ceremony to get the sponsorship for our book. We were totally blur about what was going on lah, but there were some nice surprises!
This is especially for Michelia, who likes the boy boy cute type…
When can I pass you his autograph? And I can also give you the pen he signed with, if you like. 
For me and Christy, who are such fangirls of Vivian Balakrishnan now. Gosh. Getting the Project Superstar picture was simple enough- they were sitting peacefully some rows away. For this one, we had to race after him, jump over barriers, all paparazzi like.
And oh ya what were we actually here for.
Many thanks to Yen for securing the sponsorship! You did a wonderful job, girl.
Such an amusing morning. The rest of the event, and other random LTB photos, =here=.
Gearing up for exams, clearing reports, final presentations. Yes, we can do it.
