Recently, I have received emails from the school regarding things like Goldman Sachs coming to NTU on the 10th August and Temasek Holdings having the first round of selection cum networking session on the 28 August.
It makes me think for a while. Is this for real? Goldman and Temasek. In the past, I would not have taken these emails seriously because all that was on my mind was purely academic matters.
However, I guess the moment is finally here, we really have to start giving thoughts about our careers in the future right now, this moment. It is the time when we are going to make serious and groundbreaking decisions, and also the time when we are going to fight like we never fought before for a spot in one of the prestigious companies.
As I update my resume with my latest internship at Mercer as well as my academic results, I felt that I can really see the light beaming with hopes.
Its bright, exciting and I can feel its warmth. There are so many things going for me right now.
I am in a University, and I did well for the first year and I'm going to make tonnes of new friends at these networking sessions and hopefully enter the Banking & Finance Club.
Also, year 2 will be an important year because we will be fighting for internship opportunities at the prestigious companies.
It will really be a huge opportunity and a major morale boost if I am able to secure some internship interviews at those companies.
Oh well, I am going to prepare to submit my application to Goldman Sachs and Temasek Holdings.
I am filled with so much excitement now, I can feel that my life is going to change really soon.
Best of luck to me :)

Hermione, my inspiration
Tomorrow is the day it all ends.
Yes, I'm heading down to Marina Square after work to catch the finale of Harry Potter, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows.
It has been a long 10 years and Harry Potter is definitely part of my childhood. It will be the movie that I will remember for life, the movie that I will look back on in years to come.
Hermione, the girl who scored straight As in all her exams, the girl who is able to study many, many subjects at once and able to go for classes simultaneously.
She made me realise that no matter how much work I have, it is insignificant in comparison to hers. If I really aspire to be like her, I cannot be defeated by a miserable amount of work, I should see them as a challenge and overcome them.
She taught me to be consistent, to study daily and not during the last minute. She taught me to be rebellious at times and not to stick by the book all the time. She taught me to stick out for my friends when they need me. She taught me that it is possible to get straight As even though I'm taking up many modules.
She inspired me that nothing is impossible and the fact that she is in an Ivy League in the real life inspires me even further.
To be able to act in movies and at the same time study in her real life and obtain a spot in the Ivy League, it is definitely quite a feat.
So far, for the first year of my University stinct, I have managed to perform up to expectations, at least to hers.
I will continue to work hard, so that I will not let Hermione down.
Once again, I will like to attribute my success to her, for being such an inspiration and such a beauty of course.
Thank you Hermione.
