Attended the "Addressing Climate Change and Development Together" talk by Professor Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, United Nations today.

Met up with Lastrina at Boon Lay bus interchange and we took 179 down to NTU. Alighted at the wrong place and couldn't find the auditorium at Nanyang Executive Centre. We arrived at an entirely different auditorium (it's even named Nanyang Auditorium, what the hell). I seriously hate getting around in NTU; I never fail to get lost. We walked around for 30 minutes (but hey, nice, cool weather!) before we found the place. We even took photos with the sign to celebrate our find. Haha!

A few others from the WLC organizing committee arrived subsequently. And I was surprised to see Susan and Yean Yang there. Didn't know they would be attending too. (:

I wish the talk could have been longer for Prof Jomo has plenty of valuable insights to share. It was quite heavy on economics and statistics. The whole lecture was enjoyable and my mind had a good workout (even more than during the final poly exams). It made me recall plenty of information that I'd read about years ago. But what I know is meagre. I need to follow up on political and economic news more seriously, and not just current affairs alone.

Lastrina and I grabbed a plate of pizza slices from the reception and walked back to the bus stop while munching away. Plenty of random moments today. Sure makes life more exciting.

Another talk tomorrow! Introduced by Lastrina. It deals with business management. And I thought, just go for it, lah! The information will definitely come in handy one day. It's all for the future. ;)

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
