A Flurry of Gatherings

Wow... its now a countdown to my takeoff! 10 more days and I'll be on a 21hr flight to the United States of America! Hmm... For those who still do not know what is happening, I will be leaving for USA for my student exchange between the 12th of August and the 28th of December. Officially, my exchange program is with the School of Arts and Sciences, University of Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, I will be taking courses all over the place! The modules that I have already secured are actually in the polls on the right column. They are: Derivatives, Venture Capital and Entrepreneurial Management, Spanish and Real Estate Economics.

Anyway, I am really thankful that there are many people who wants to meet up with me before I fly off. I am really grateful that at least these people would miss me (I hope!). Even if they don't miss me, I am thankful that these people at least make the effort to meet me before I leave. Thanks guys!

So far, I have already met up with the following people:

• AY2006/07 (term 1) LTB TAs @ Hardrock Cafe
• My very own LTB mates - At least Kimberly, Sherina, Eileen and Jon

I am looking forward to next week as my internship ends and I'll be catching up with some of my dearest friends before I finally fly off. In the mean time, I want to tell everyone that I'll miss you guys!

On the side note, just to demonstrate how much i'll miss you guys, I want to tell you guys that I actually took a slow walk around school one of the evenings this week. I walked from LKCSOB to the GYM and also into the CCA Room, peered into the eXplore Room (now known as the box) and also the various places which i've spent the last 2 years of my school life. The place which gave me the deepest impression is none other than the CCA room which i spent a large part of my time in.

I've finally decided to start packing and i'll start packing this coming weekend... so to end off this post, let me show you what I'll be bringing... advice is appreciated!
