Preparing for B-School

As time hurtles towards the start of what will be surely a rollercoaster journey, I find myself overcome with a mixture of joy and sadness. Sadness because I will miss all my great friends I made during my 10 years in Singapore. Through I won't miss Singapore itself, I will definitely miss the local gym I have been attending for the past 4 years. I am also overjoyed because it will be my first trip to Europe and I will be living in one of the greatest cities in Europe. Plus it is first time I will be away from my parents living all alone and managing all my affairs independently. It brings with it a mixture of apprehension and excitement.

Realizing yesterday that it was less than 2 months to my departure I have started planning for it. I am looking around for a shipper to move all my personal effects over to Barcelona. Oh most importantly I have to book my air ticket. Then I also need to shop for lots of personal effects that have to last me through 19 months of my MBA.

Got a laptop for my MBA

I finally got a brand new Fujitsu L1010 laptop for my MBA. It is packed with lots of memory(4GB ram, 1 GB dedicated video memory and 320 GB harddisk) though definitely not top of the line. But it should be more than adequate for two years of powerpoint presentations, excel analysis and word documents.
