ON SOME UPDATES
After consulting many friends, seniors, ex-colleagues, my brother, more importantly my elder sister (who has almost 10 years of working experience in a related industry), & perhaps most importantly my own heart, I have decided to go for the Changi Airport T3 offer.
A combination of factors & not just simply 1: portfolio, level of exposure, working environment, internship experience, internal culture, my love for the airport, prior network & contacts, learning opportunities etc.
Still, I must add it wasnt easy to decline an offer from 1 of the best airlines in the world, and the no 1 employer of choice for graduates for dunno how many years oredi haha. I called Nerice of SIA HR in the morning to thank & inform her about my decision, and I was touched by her professionalism. In a sense, she welcomed me to apply again perhaps after 1 or 2 years if I m still keen to do a switch, adding that my experience in the aviation industry would make me a more valuable employee for SIA in future as well.
Very impressed by her professionalism and response.
Met Chun Kiat again yesterdae at Holland V, and I m really happy for him that he's accepted the SIA offer. :p I m sure we ll go for many future dinners around the Changi area haha. Hope to introduce him to Daniel as well. After all, they ll be future SQ colleagues heh.

Post-exam & graduation activities havent really died down I suppose. Been meeting & catching up with a lot a lot of old friends. Only thing which i havent been doing (strangely) is DOTAing and mahjong (much less sessions than I expected ahha).
Sooze & Siying have welcomed me to the impending working world as well haha. I m glad I can spend more time with them on weekends as well, talking trash, watching football, & splendid movies.
Weekly football games have resumed, as expected. For the 1st time in a long long while, all of us lads are no longer students as well, and i think the realization hit everybody that we better strive hard to maintain these Sundae games else we grow fat once working starts haha!
I ve also spent a lot more time training up & jogging. Wanna clear my IPPT asap, hopefully before reservist. Weather these few daes has been absolutely brillant! n_n
Remy's bdae celebration at Camy's house was wonderful as well. What else can u expect from them haha. Every time i attend their gang's bdae activities, I feel really touched by their warmth & friendship. I hope they continue to have whacking fun during this year's FOP and also share their love and guidance for incoming juniors hehe =)
