finally! a full day for me to rest at home (besides driving lessons in the morning). have been having so much fun the past few days that it didn't really occur to me that i'll be flying off on friday. so fast, one month's gone. back to the usual studying routine in a week's time. :(
we went for lunch at this german restaurant- brotzeit. had typical german food, sausages. they tasted good, but not really my type of food.
i love the underground passage to esplanade from citylink mall, always filled with new art exhibits. 
finally reached our destination after a very long walk. cause jon and rachel wanted to blow the cake at raffles hotel, but there wasn't any suitable location. anyways, what better location to be at, than esplanade's rooftop garden? we had the view of 3 singapore attractions- marina sands, esplanade, and the flyer, and there were live bands too!
love the cake that jonny got for merrie, just the right cake for chocolate lovers. it was really very good, sadly rachel couldn't taste any due to her gastric. the best thing about it is that you wouldn't feel full or jelak from the huge amount of chocolate. :)
later, we went over to jonny's place to chill/slack. we had so much fun digging into jonny's past/photos, some serious laughter man. we then decided to play cranium, the board game that we got for merrie's birthday. first time playing it, and it's really fun! can't wait to play more of it when we're back in melbourne. :)
checked out the masters program requirements for london business school, london school of economics, warrick business school, and kings college. half of them requires at least 2 years of working experience, 1 requires you to graduate with first class honours, and the other needs you to qualify for honours. this is not good news since the reason for doing masters is to escape from work for another 1-2 years, and i don't want to do honours due to an extra year of studying in melbourne. only warrick university is looking good, but that means i have to study extra hard to at least qualify for honours. sigh oh sigh, continue studying and searching!
I think you will find that all those universities will requires what we call an honours degree of at least 2:1 grade, and all of the above are highly selective, which means that you will still be fighting for a place. London Business School require considerable post graduation experience and is very, very expensive, roughly £40K without living expenses.
ReplyDeleteThere are many MSc at LSE in the management department that don't require work experience, perhaps you were looking at the two year finance programme, which is designed for people working in the financial sector?
hey thanks a lot for the information. :) didn't really understand what was the 2:1 grade, and now i do.
ReplyDeleteyes, i am looking for a masters in finance, not management. currently, i'm doing a double major in accounting and finance, and those are the only 2 sectors that interests me. so i doubt i will be doing management.
i guess i just have to see how it goes, and make my mind whether i should work or do another year of honours.
thanks. :)
