Dear friends.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I cannot type hebrew for an unknown period of time. Please bare with me when reading this clumsy English, that's all I've got.
It's not that I'm that well assimilated in the foreign land that I'm forgetting my Hebrew. The reason for this is much simpler, and it's called a Chicken Soup. Apparently, if you spill a bowl of this liquid on your laptop, you might end up with a useless piece of metal... Oh, and by the way, if you then decide that drying the soup out of the keyboard using a hair-dryer is a good idea, then think again! I'll try to post a picture of melted buttons later on..
And it's fixable, of course, but will cost me so much money, that I prefer using the school lazy and slow machines for now.
Anyway, let me update you a little bit about my life here in Singapore. Half of my MBA is already completed. We have 5 periods in sum, and now we're facing the end of the 3rd one. It's been tough in the beginning, for me, the first 2 periods were the toughest in my life! Never touching Finance or Accounting before, suddenly they make you a Pro - in just 4 months. The level of the students you get to study with is amazing, very smart people, with so much diverse knowledge, it's absolutely crazy.
The third period is not dedicated to Finance or Accounting anymore. We get to choose our own preferences. I've taken some Marketing and Strategy oriented courses. Some of my friends chose to stick to the financial genre. Others took courses about entrepreneurship (a pffrench word for start-up).. There are more courses to pick from - you can stay diverse and take one of each...
Therefore, in terms of studies, I'm enjoying this period much more. Also, I'm involved in an Independend Study Project, which is a conjoint study with RIM (Blackberry) - where we (a group of 4 students) conduct a research about the telecom market in the Pacific Asia region. I'm responsible of Philippines, so if you need to learn anything about it - welcome. :)
In a month, the 6 intense months of crazy Singapore life will come to an end. I feel that I haven't seen enough of this city, and yet have been to so many places around it. Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka... everything is mixed up in my head. I feel like I cannot travel anywhere anymore! I know how this sounds. But really, when you're overwhelemed with everything you do, and everyday you have a new experience, new people, new material, you cannot really have a proper vacation. Also, those trips are so short, 3-5 days tops, and it's all about running from one touristic place to the other. Ok, I'm not really complaining, but I really feel that I've travelled enough. Maybe just one more country and that's it :D
Speaking of which. I'm coming to Israel in a month, (4-10 July), guys, if you're around, let me know, I want to meet with everyone! And then, I'm going to Germany for the summer. To a place named Heilbronn. If you look it up on a map, you'll realize that it is some hole in the middle of nowhere, peaceful and colorful village :) The company I'll be working for is Amphenol. I'll be probably traveling a few times to China, and all in all it's going to be a very nice intern position in General Management. I'm getting an apartment there, so if you're planning to travel in the area - please come!
After that, I'm going back to studies! This time, in Fontainebleau, France! Will stay there for 2 months, and then the plan is to go back to Singapore, for the last period. If you cannot make it to Germany, come visit me at France! I've already rented a huge room in an ancient chateau in Fonty :)
This is crazy, how fast the time flies!
Sorry for a post with no pictures, I promise I will make it up to you :)
