I am officially done with the first semester of my Degree. I'm left with exactly 4 months and by April next year, In Shaa Allah, I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Creative Industry Management. In Shaa Allah, I will graduate with First Class Honours and get the Best Graduate Award. For now, I just need to figure out how to pay for my second semester. In Shaa Allah, everything would work out just fine.

So I have officially started work at Kinokuniya as a part-time cashier. It has always been my favourite place in Singapore and now, it's my workplace. It's a nice environment to work in. The people there are quite friendly and some of them are quite talkative. The customers there are quite nice and surprisingly warm. Most of them would usually greet you first and some of them even asked about your well-being, which is totally refreshing. Lastly, the amount of good-looking and hot guys that buy books are shockingly a lot. I honestly did not expect good-looking guys buying books about science, economics, poetry, comics and a whole lot more. Working at my favourite place in Singapore, surrounded by books from all around the whole and it's filled with good-looking guys, I'm in love with my new job. In Shaa Allah, I will be able to work there all the way until graduation.

Life has been good to me so far. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Finally, I managed to purchased a BlackBerry Passport. I'm so happy to finally get to use a BlackBerry again after almost 2 years of not using it. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

The pros of using it, it is an official business phone. Every thing about it is a professional phone. The way the app is being limited to strictly conduct business. You can access your emails easily and replied to them on the spot. You can ever do your assignments on it. It has access to Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel. It's big and bulky. It has a physical keypad, which I have always love since forever. The screen is huge and everything is so clear. Lastly, the battery life is super great. I have been using it for the past hour and it drop only by 10%.

The cons of it, it is so totally not a social media friendly phone. Using Instagram and Twitter on it is so weird. It really has limited apps. I can no longer edit my photos and post it on Instagram anymore. I will have to change my format. I can't download Grindr, Jack'd or Planet Romeo at all. It's a sign. Pretty much everything that I am so used to on my iPhone is completely different on the BlackBerry.

Other than that, I know I will get used to it and will be loving it soon.

I went for the 2nd Kinokuniya interview and honestly speaking, I really think that it went quite well. Now I'm just waiting for them to call me back since they said that they would get back to me within 2 weeks. I really hope I will get the job. In Shaa Allah.

All that is left is for me to meet up with my respective lecturers and edit my assignments accordingly before the final submissions. 

Lastly, I need to start worrying about how to pay for my final semester school fees. In Shaa Allah, I will be able to get the loan from Mendaki. I really need it.
