My Next path

After much hesistations, i have decided to take up the trainee program in San Francisco!
I will be working for Genentech for 12mths. Supposedly it should be be 18mth. but under the new rule of US fresh grad's VISA are only entitled to 12mths. Glad that they have such rule as 12mths is just nice a period for me, i prolly find 18mth too long!

This trip is definitely a differnt experience from my canada exchange. I will be staying in rented apartment/houses (doing own cooking)unlike in WCRI where food for three meals were readily available. No more of crazy drinking games ! haha. This time is serious business. TO work as a manufacturing trainee in the pharmaceutical industry. I foresee alot of challenges like... cooking ( i sux at it! time to learn from my maid) , working in a foreign country with the US ppl, Good/bad roomie/housemate etc ... many many more which i will update when i;m there! heh

i should be flying off in mid oct earlier.. needa do medical check up.. visa processing etc which willl take 4-6 week from now.
yup i;m glad that i could spend my 23th Birthday in singapore! yeah! heh..

I;m excited abt both work and life in San fran! travelling is def part of my weekend plans. heh
My roomie also promised that she die die will visit me! We hope to meet up with our WCRi peeps and have another reunion trip ! yup that willbe the future plans.
As for now, i needa do medical check up, find good roomie, housing near my company etc.. settle contract issues etc...
heh i;m still pretty free ! will continue to slack till the day i fly off!
