My Life. In Words & Snapshots.

Hello world. You can call me Shan. I'm just a regular 21 year old who loves my family, friends and gorgeous cats. Caught the travel bug after my trip to Europe in 2005. I am an avid photographer. The proud owner of a Canon EOS 450D, I am constantly learning and improving my photography skills. The dream is to go pro one day (hopefully). I'm studying Accounting&Finance at the University of Western Australia and aspire to be a CPA/CFA qualified high flying corporate figure, who lives on the Upper East Side. After I've made my billions, I'd love to go into travel journalism and photography. I enjoy watching tennis and wish I could play with Federer's grace. I am loud, fun and love trying out new things all the time. It's nice to meet you. I hope you have a pleasant stay at my little blog :)

Ernst & Young YAY!

So all the hours spent stressing about my application and the assessment and eventually the interview paid off!

I got an internship for 2 weeks with Ernst & Young this winter! After hearing from everyone how competitive it is to secure an internship in Australia, I am very happy and thankful and proud (=p) of this. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way! Mohan, Hansen, Lavenia, Sherify and Mummy & Daddy! ♥

E&Y!

E&Y folder! :p

Internship documents etc :)

Invitation to E&Y's welcome cocktail party!

And if you haven't figured how E&Y obsessed I am, I have E&Y colored jellybeans too :P

Easter came and went by and I wish I could said I spent Easter painting eggs or hunting for chocolate eggs but no such thing this year :( Boo. It was good to just sit around and relax for a couple of days after the 1st of April though, where I had an interview at 8.30am and a mid semester exam at 6pm on the very same day! Had my dose of Supernatural and I think the show is getting amazingly better by the episode. Spent about 3 days doing nothing, until I realized the amount of work that piled up over the past 2 weeks :( And now we're almost at the end of the mid semester break! Where did all my time go?

It's going to be very crazy when uni reopens next week all the way til after the finals in June! Endless assignments and exams.. I'll need as much luck as possible to get through these next few months!

On happier terms though, I've booked tickets on the 26th June from Perth - Sydney! And on the 1st July from Sydney - Gold Coast. Will be going with Chen Yi, Jorine, Fred, Sharon, Jia Chen and maybe Tiffany :) As there are no direct flights back to Perth from GC, I'll need to stop by Melbourne on the way back, which is burning a hole in my purse BUT it also means that I'll be able to see my lovely M1-ers, Parisa and maybe Stephanie! :)

This winter break is going to be a very jam packed and excitement filled one! Holidays start on the 21st of June. I'll be jetting off to Sydney on the 26th and then heading to Gold Coast, Brisbane and Melbourne before returning back to Perth on the 10th of July. And my internship with E&Y starts on the 12th of July and will go to the 23rd. After which I'll be able to get TWO days worth of rest before uni starts again! I am very excited about everything though!

But for now, it's study study study! .

.. til 7pm, cause I'm going out for dinner with Mo & Hansen to celebrate my internship!

Ta! :))

Reading


Written by Jay Kinghorn and Jay Dickman, Perfect Digital Photography guides you through the entire photographic process, from composition to editing, printing as well as archiving. It's the perfect book for me. I am enjoying every page of it. Thanks Hansen :) I'm reading and making good use of it!

Listening


Daughtry - Life After You

Currently Watching


Back for a 7th season, 24 sees invincible Jack Bauer do whatever is necessary to solve the conspiracy and terrorist threat at hand. It's the first time the show has a female president and I must say I do not like her much. Bring back David Palmer!

Upcoming Movies


Starring Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Patrick Dempsey, Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Garner, Eric Dane, Bradley Cooper and Taylor Lautner. This star studded cast has got me very excited about the movie.
