Life Post Graduation

Talks about post graduation plans been such a heat around me lately. Peers, family, friends- practically everyone is asking and talking about it. With my lackadaisical and not bothered attitude, I always thought that, things will eventually turn out the way they would be and there is no point worrying about it. It is life anyway. Ups and downs bound to happen. Although I admit I get annoyed most times being asked about my plans (cause I DO NOT have one) but I will normally smile pleasantly and answer them. p/s: to those who are reading... YES! I am very irritated by your so-called "concerns". I am not competing with you and I am living my own life. So what if you get a job first and me later? Does that make you more outstanding? By all means, go ahead and I wish you the best of luck, because I am not in a hurry to serve the labor world! At this point of time, I just want to graduate!!! But anyways back to where I was, often in a very sarcastic manner to brush them off that topic I will reply by saying:

No 1- either "I WILL GET MARRIED!!"
No 2- or "I WILL BE MY FATHER'S DAUGHTER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!"
No 3- and lastly "WHY NOT I DEPEND ON YOU?"

And so, to "those" of you, you might be interested to know that I received an e-mail earlier from CIMB Group. It went:

I was serving intern in CIMB Investment Bank earlier last year and I thought it was going to do my resume good in some ways. Just when I thought that I would take a 3 months break post graduation to relax myself before staring to work, I got this! Mum told me it is a good start for my career, but....

I WANT MY 3 MONTHS GRADUATION HOLIDAY!! *ARGH*

-Kok Shyong, if you are reading, I need your advice whether or not I should join CIMB's MT programme-

And just when I was all prepared to graduate, booking all tickets for convo and all, Mr. P from Integration class made a remark "Are you really sure you will be able to graduate this semester? Check your FYP status properly. Don't be TOO sure!"

*wtf* And now my heart goes pumping again... (And I thought I was all done with FYP!) Apparently 30% of the final year students could not graduate every year because of their d*mn FYP!!!
