Friends have been asking me about work and all, besides all the fun times travelling, shopping around, etc you see on my blog. Like our real life haha. Well, life is good, thanks to all for your concern :) think we are adapting not bad till now ^^ weather is definitely much better compared to the time we came.. that was horrible with the rain and the cold winds. Very depressing. And now with sunshine, atmosphere everywhere is more upbeat and happy. And yes like many Londoners, we check the weather forecast faithfully everyday on the BBC website. Coz this determines how warm you have to dress for that day, or if you have to bring a brolly out.
Work's great as I mentioned with the work life balance thingy going on.. and I am also beginning to enjoy the desk I am supporting even though I am still getting 0_0 with the number of bonds they have, and the magnitude of the notionals.. my calculator cannot contain all the zeros. And my manager is this incredibly nice guy, the hao nan ren kind.
Anyways, I thought I should get to know more people and have a life on weeknights besides the internet, so I took a step to sign up for French lessons. It is a 10 week course over summer and it's very convenient coz the teacher comes to our office and holds the lesson in a meeting room so we really don't have to go anywhere. So yes tonight was my first lesson.
Uh oh... I think it didn't turn out very well coz even though I had two sems of french in NTU, that was like 4 or even 5 years ago. I saw the vocab/ exercises and I literally had to rack my brains, trying to think hard what I studied before and struggled thru' the sentences. Poor Christine was lost after half an hour and... I seriously think out of the class of 7, we were the worst haha.. like me , she also took it long time ago and have forgotten most of it. geez think she isn't continuing next week. Should I give up too? mmm... no exams lah but I think my 'mini exam' would be going Paris with The Girls in end August and getting past with my (hopefully) polished up french ahha and using phrases like asking "Je cherche la LV." ("I am looking for LV." hahaha) *wink to Cor*
