Taking a break

2009-04-12T22:27:00.003+08:00

Okay i know i shouldnt be blogging at this time.. but was just taking a break and settling some online stuffs for my europe trip and saw some of my friends' blogs..

Everyone was blogging about their last lesson, last presentation, etc etc about NBS, haha so think i should talk a bit about it as well? Seriously the thought of blogging about it didnt even cross my mind, maybe cause i feel i'm quite detached from NBS even after spending 3 years here and doing countless of presentations...

I think i can blog about CAC better... Think i will feel more when its the last day of CAC... NBS is just part of my Uni life i guess... i think i spend more time doing CAC stuffs this whole 3 years den i did for NBS... So not as much feeling for it i guess... and i think i know more people from CAC den in NBS as well...

Anyway i failed it for friends who still didnt know.. STB rejected me... Damn... the e mail aptly went into the junk mail. seemingly knowing that i wouldnt want to view it... i was really anyhow clicking before i come across it. previous emails from the same STB HR person didnt end up in the junk mail, so donnoe why this time round it did. but still... i think god wants me to know of it soon instead of waiting pointlessly and trying to comfort myself that there should still be a chance... otherwise i wouldnt go visit the junk mail, something that i would probably just do once in 2 months???

Maybe the closing of one door is to force me to look at another that is already opened? Or maybe its to ask me to try go open another that could possibly lead me to where i should be in life???

Anyway these few days no time to think about it.. So much to study and having not enough time doesnt help... still need to prepare for my grad trip!!! Haa.. luckily f helps me to settle some things that i would otherwise drag haa... thanks!!

well guess i got just some things more here and dere to pack, otherwise i'm ready to fly!!! Actually i think it would really be good if i can have a bit more time after exams before i fly so that can do somethings that i would like to do which i cant do now... i want to play MJ... i want to exercise also.. want to do some cleaning up at home... want to go out with Gary and Co from NBS.. haa even though i dont feel very attached to NBS, but i still gotta thanks gary and co for being my group mates for so many presenting grps haa.

guess we already got good synergy... Not all people can accomodate to our style of slacking and heck care attitude but yet still buck up at the last minute and clinching "A"s for our presentations.. haha... Seriously i think we always manage to carry it off even with poor preparation!!

yea alot of things about life in NTU suddenly flood back.. but now no time to blog about it.. i guess i will have alot of time during my 8hrs transit at DOHA and when i'm in europe... stay tune to this blog cos its gonna be exciting soon!!!

Another 30 days...

2009-04-01T23:12:00.002+08:00

Well... went for the interview today...

Nothing very dramatic happened... very normal.. Is it because i went for many many interviews before already that this one seems like just another one?

But i must say, in the "normalness" that i feel... there is something not as normal... Questions asked were similar in general except for a few.. and i answer them the way i would answer any other interviewers from Big 4 or MOE. But some how i can sense that they were just not satisfied enough. Perhaps, this group of interviewers want more than that. More than the ability to give politically correct and nice answers (that i can do it with relative ease).

One question that i think i didnt fare v well and yet they are very particular about. They ask "You mentioned that you are passionate about tourism, where and when did that passion comes from?" I mentioned about me working at Cellini as a sales executive and having constant contact with expatriates and bla bla bla and would like to see myself bringing in more tourists into SG. Somehow i think they could feel like its quite far fetched. Why working as a sales personnel can get you interested in tourism.

Well.. Frankly I must say, if i'm sitting on the opposite side of the table, i would frown too... and give a wicked chuck deep in my heart and say.. come'on dont bullshit me... Well i guess i'm really a bullshitter at times... hmm....

From the questions they ask, i can tell they are worried about recruiting staff that will turnover very fast. Maybe there has been people whom they have trained and left STB as what i heard from outside as well. Thats why they are so particular about this point. However, i didnt feel that i did very well in assuring them that i'm a stayer and not a leaver.. Some how i just feel this way.

Anyway on the whole, i think i handled the interview quite professionally, just that i think perhaps they cant feel the "aggressive passion" in me. They want someone who would suddenly stand up, beat his chest and shout to them.. I LOVE STB. but i didnt do it...

For the essay, i think i did better than i thought i could. Within 30 minutes i typed like 1.5 pages of text in the microsoft word. Maybe the font is big la... but the gal behind me came out saying she only manage a page within that short time span. maybe she bull shit me haha, but never mind la i think everyone should be about the same.

At the end of the day, i asked how long would i need to wait before i can know the results. and the answer was about 1 month. thats really really very long. they sure are taking their time.... I think they have another batch/ round of interviews to go... maybe they will decide together.

this is bad... sounds like there are tonnes of competitors... Anyway still relieved that its finally over... dont want to think about it anymore. just hope i can get the good news in Europe!

20 more days to Greece.... i will be spending the first night in Greece alone.. Well i think its a bit scary, to fly alone there from SG to DOHA and to Athens. i will reach there at 1830.. which i suppose will be dark already... den i got to try to navigate my own way to the hostel which is some where in town.. i dont think i will ever understand their greek language... hope i dont get lost!

Will be spendign first night alone cos Jase they all are going to watch Liverpool Vs Arsenal on 21 April and will only fly over on 22 APril.. Stupid delay!

Countdown...

2009-03-19T15:03:00.003+08:00

Okay finally the call came... 1st April 2009 could be the day of my life determining my path and career for the next few years to come...

STB called and asked me to choose between 31 March and 1 April, but i got 2 quizes on 30 March, hence i think 1 April will be a better day. hope i wouldnt be made a fool out of the day.

its not just a panel interview, there is also gonna be an essay writing section. Damn, if only i'm Jun An... Well i guess this could just be the determining factor. After the essay writing will be an interview conducted by the HR Director, a Divisional Director and another deputy director. Oh man sounds scary... But what to do, can only give my all...

Frankly there is nothing much i can prepare for except reading up and reading up for related news... The rest really depends on my on-the-spot performance and whether the interviewers like my face ba....

Any tips any one?

i'm a ten hour daily sleeping monster

2009-03-13T13:36:00.003+08:00

Everytime i read some health reports or recommendation, it says that a normal adult should sleep 8 to 10 hours daily... But i keep thinking why must i be on the extreme end... why cant i be the one who just needs 8 hours of slp or even lesser like some of my friends. ha

Seriously, tried and tested, without using alarm clock i will always wake up 10 hours later from the time i knockout. Even if i use alarm clock, i will still keep snoozing until 10 hours is up. haha, so frankly there is no point in me using an alarm clock, but i will always still set my alarm for an 8 hour slp conscientiously everynight. and always the next morning will be a struggle... a 2 hour struggle...

I guess its all in the mind, haa, i think i'm mentally not disciplined enough to make myself wake up earlier. not sure if its a blessing this sem cause my earliest lesson is always at 1030, even though i got lecture occassionally at 830, that is really very occassionally. i'm begining to wonder how i am going to survive work... next time i would really have to sleep at 1030 pm after channel 8 news le... maybe its a healthy lifestyle for me to sleep early and wake up early also ha...

anyway, work has been delayed for KPMG till 1 Sept. And there is going to be revision of work benefits as well.. No news from Singapore Tourism Board yet, but even though recently hear some not so good stuffs about working in STB, but i still feel no matter how bad it is, it wouldnt be as bad as the infamous BIG 4... haha lets call it BIG 4 Monster....

ya i need to go guan yin temple to huan shen and also pray for my hopefully upc0ming STB interview...

This Blog is boring

2009-03-09T23:49:00.002+08:00

Ha, dont really feel like coming to this blog, cos its so boring.. so boring that even the blogger dont feel like blogging ha...

but still must update at least once a month i guess wuahaha... think i should change my blog site soon to something more interesting. yea, so now blogging is cause i really got nothing to do now at the moment. not that i'm very free, but den now got a short time space that cant do much. ha

AA306 quiz is jia lat... hopefully can get 12 out of 20 i should be very happy le ba ha. And very soon need to start studying for exams already! and let me see...

43 more days to EUROPE!!! okay i'm not so excited actually.. the !!! is not representative to how i feel ha. i think cause still got alot of things on now, so don have the feel of grad trip coming ha...

now i really prefer to read blogs den type blogs ha, cos really nothing much to type or nothing much i can type wuahahha...

ROUND 3 - FIGHT!

2009-02-11T00:15:00.003+08:00

After such a long while, decided to just pop by to input some things in my blog. HAHA really got no time hence desert it for quite a while.

Anyway just got the phone call from Singapore Tourism Board! I have been shortlisted for the final round of panel interview! i got pass the assessment centre! wuahahaha.. yea but the next round of interview will only be in March.. really hope i can get in.. my desire to get in just got stronger after hearing more horror stories from audit seniors and esp since KPMG implement a pay cut... Damn auditing firms. i dont want to work for you all! haha hopefully i dont have to...

yea this semester is real bz with CAC events, and has been neglecting my studies.. sometimes got time to study but just cant get things in productively.. haa anyway it has been a fun and great semester so far! hope it will continue hahaha...

1st week of School

2009-01-08T23:21:00.003+08:00

Oh man.. its only the first week of school and i'm already feeling tired.. ha... maybe its just a sign that i'm gonna fall sick again soon... i hope not!

anyway this sems is surely not gonna be an easy semester, given the seemingly tough AA304 and AA306 modules... but i'm sure its gonna be a fun sem too with all the CAC events lined up... well i gotta jaga it with my tuitions as well... 3 tuitions per week, plus project work, plus CAC events.. woo.. hope i can get to spend some time at home this semester also...

and i have not gotten any chinese new year clothes also.. thats bad...

plus next week i will be going for the assessement centre for Singapore Tourism Board! Applying as a management trainee! i really hope i can get thru the interviews and presentations next week.. really hope that i wouldnt end up in the auditing field...

yea anyway i came up with a new year resolution a few days back and i hope i can achieve it haha... My resolution is to 1) Enjoy the last semester in school to the maximum! 2) To smile more, Be more friendly, Less Scary and more approachable!

What's the world coming to?

2008-12-31T01:14:00.002+08:00

做人很难，做好人更难。。。
好心送人回家，还要被批评没送人到家门口。。。

so what if i'm a driver? must a driver send every single one to their doorstep? i can jolly well drive home myself. save petrol, save time, save energy...

and having to drop 4 person, so i have to go to 4 different places? WTF... do i get paid? At least taxi drivers get more respect then me...

you think your "thanks for the ride!" is very big?

so have i not been good enough or are people getting more and more demanding and over the board?

don worry friends, i will still give rides to people, just wanna vent some anger here... next time do be more appreciative of others.. it can really be tiring to drive, and petrol doesnt come cheap... i always feel that my petrol expenses is cheaper then for you to take a cab, thats why i always try to volunteer to fetch people... but please don take it for granted..

Back from Datuk!

2008-12-24T13:03:00.010+08:00

Okay it was a fun trip! just that i wasnt feeling well during the trip wad a waste.. otherwise would have enjoyed the food more! shall not blog so much la, since kx has already decribed the trip to a great extent in his blog(http://kxneo.wordpress.com/) le... here's some photos!

And i have finally booked my air tickets to EUROPE!! thats a cool $1583 incl. tax... looking forward to the one month trip already.. haha here's a glimpse of the itinery!

Swiss Gathering + PaintBall!

2008-12-13T00:14:00.003+08:00

Woo... finally we had a swiss gathering after so long, ha even though i always meet Kx and co, but not always are we present together at the same time, and Ze Ren always bz with his secretive stuffs in NUS so seldom get to meet him too... plus HJ and SR, one working another studying for masters ha... everyone is so BZ!!

yea had a good dinner at ICHIBAN KOSHIYA or something like tt, ha not bad, nice salmon and relatively nice food... and the best thing is its FREE! thanks SJ for still remembering and bringing up that we didnt get to meet up during my bdae and kx's bdae.. haa so we got a treat! should have ordered more haha...

but yesterday night, i still ended up paying.. this time on the MJ table with kx, sj, zr at my house... i lost exactly about the amount that my dinner was worth ahha... so in the end breakeven la... long time nv had MJ with ZR already ha.. but i was really suay la i think and its really really tiring for old night mj... think i really cant afford to torture my old body again for such things.. a pity JA got work cannot join...

talkig about work it will really be sian in another half a year's time... can see HJ was really quite tired about her work, both mentally and physically i suppose.. very soon it will be my turn... ha... anyway thanks everyone for the "treat"!! haha

had our exco paint ball session just now! ha, it's really fun, plus given that its heavily subsidised, its really worth it, and my team emergerd champion! hah, thanks to our sharpshooter gloria, brave gal ferrarina, mr terrorist and bdae boy eric plus Joel who always chiong infront and at the centre to cover for the gals haha.. of course plus me! anyway its just a 4 grp contest plus we saw alot of friendly fire haha... not as painful as i thought it would have been... really good bonding and we don our soldier's uniform!

hah really fun and tiring today... only bad thing that happened was i scratched blackie... damn... also donnoe how it ended up that way... maybe cos a bit distracted plus that stupid person walking along that already narrow road... luckily it wasnt a big scratch... but still... yea...

你不是真正的快乐....

Nice song and nice music video... ha

Interview Week

2008-12-03T17:54:00.003+08:00

So i have decided last week that i shall give the Big 4 a try... this is after talking to Jae Chia hah, who is still teaching now.. well i should go get some private experience before embarking on teaching ha.. since i'm still young right?

so when for 3 interviews over the last two days, ha pretty similar style for all... with people receiving me at the reception area, before proceeding for a mingling session with the seniors, den followed by an interview... ha

basically i feel it really depends on your luck and who you got as your interviewer... guess i'm lucky cos i got offered for all 3 companies that i went for! so now its between Deliotte and Touche, Ernst & Young and KPMG... ha....

the toughest question i got so far should be the ethic question ba.... "Describe one scenario or situation whereby your ethics/integrity are challenged or compromised" wah its really hard.... haha, den i described a situation whereby everyone copied during a closed book elective quiz that eventually evolved into a open book quiz haha.... luckily the interviewer didnt penalise me hahah....

yea and have been working on grad trips planning! yea exchanged EUROS already haha, and anticipating the trip!

X-Road: Teaching or Big 4??

2008-11-24T23:45:00.002+08:00

Will come up with a Cost-Benefit Analysis soon as recommended by KX and Co... definitely a choice that can have so much impact.. definitely not one that can be decided overnight... i shall see after my 301 paper...

2008-11-24T11:36:00.001+08:00

haha the last blog a bit vulgar so have decided to take it off!

我爸我妈

2008-11-03T23:04:00.002+08:00

As i sit outside my room in the study area trying to type my 6 page long essay for Media in America, i cant help but listen to my parents' bedroom talk... for friends who been to my house before should know the proximity of the study area is very close to the master bedroom...

i feel more interested to type this blog den my Media in America essay even though the deadline is tml!

Well well, sometimes i think the way they communicate can be amusing.. one moment they can be brickering over some issues and sound fierce, the other moment they can be talking about another thing in another tone.... Hmm donnoe how to describe, but it is just maybe heartwarming in a sense to hear them talk like tt.. the way old couples communicate ba, although they are not tat old also ha...

they are sure a distraction for me to continue my work... i hope i will also be the same in future to whoever is the one to accompany me to walk through life's journey together ha... its funny how a couple can be together for so long.. they dont do special things to each others, and work everyday, ya but the communication is just there... yea...

okay they have quieten down already.. time for me to continue my dreadful essay.. sian...

how can they switch it off just like that?

2008-11-02T00:35:00.002+08:00

Was happily watching Man Utd Vs Hull City at the coffeeshop just now... it was just after half time and i just bought my cup of tea to last me thru the 2nd half when the coffeeshop person actually just walked in front of the TV and switch it off...

WTH right...

Much to the dismay of many... groans can be heard... just like when Ronaldo misses a sitter and try to look frustrated... but we can do nothing about it... anyway as people left, i was left to savour my cup of tea... within minutes the coffeeshop became quiet...

anyway just dont understand why they have to switch it off half way.. not as if we are making a lot of noise, and if they don want ppl to be watching there, why play it in the first place? puzzled...

ya so gotta come here and blog about it while waiting for the perking effect of the hot tea to die down before i go to sleep...

tml will be another day of studying!

Coming week got 2 more presentation to finish and also another elective term paper to submit... hope to get over the exams soon ha... think i should go jog in the morning tml... exercise can really make one feel more energetic.. went with Meng, and Mei they all on monday to Bukit Batok Nature reserve there to run, ha its good.. the problem will be the getting up from bed part which is the hardest.. so time to find some khakis to keep each other discipline le hahah...

update?

2008-10-20T23:17:00.002+08:00

Donnoe how to update ha...

Has always been bz with CAC stuffs and school projects, didnt really know what to write in the blog as i don want to bore my friends with all those CAC related stuffsss...

Anyway recent happenings
- Missed deadline for DBS online Assessment
- Decided not to apply for banks at all since i'm totally not interested
- Tried filling up the Big 4 application forms
- Failed my 301 quiz...
- Downloaded a strategy game called M.A.X. from the internet... (its a game i played when i was in sec school, haa so its really a classic now i suppose.. no special animation, 2D, turn-based, dont have alot of special effects, but i just think its nice, and nostalgic... but has been holding myself back from installing it cos i dont think i should be spending time on games now)

ya and recently i think i realised 暴饮暴食 is a good way to destress... i think the feeling of fullness and satisfaction is good! bring the mind away from things and you feel good with the good food! ha, and i'm skinny! so no problems for me haa...

just went for a haircut just now, and realised i really haven been to JP for quite some time and i suddenly realised the smell or rather atmosphere of a shopping mall can be de-stressing also! you see all the bright lights, shops, music, nice things around, food etc etc haha...

sometimes i think its really good to have someone really close to share things with, happy, unhappy stuffs, boring and interesting things.. and sometimes its just the "you know the person is there" that kinda feeling... yupz...

I wanna watch a movie! 赤壁 was so long ago... i wanna eat Nachos with lotsa cheese!

Birthday Week...

2008-09-24T11:52:00.010+08:00

Well i think this is going to become a once a month blog soon... Cause was really bz with all the stuffs as usual... i think i may not even have blog today if not for my Birthday last week haa cos need to give some credits to my friends who take the effort to celebrate for me ar...

i think this year's birthday is really the my most celebrated birthday in my entire life! basically cos i'm involved in quite a few stuffs in CAC...

Well there was the 18th EXCO's cake, Drumzout meeting cake, Drumzout gathering cake, Swiss gang's supper treat (Very GIAM, only ah lian bee hoon... i realised the longer you know your friends the more shui bian haha, nevertheless it was really the effort that matters!), Navy BUDDIES Pizza treat at TIMBRE, and also the 17th EXCO's Birthday song cum tarts at KuiSHinBO! and of course not forgetting ISTAS my FOC OG (it was a great BBQ!!!) and the very Sweet Hian Yin, clara and zhi hao who still remember my birthday.. thanks for the present!

I'm a NERD...

2008-09-07T22:28:00.002+08:00

ha that was one of the comment given by my tuition kid's mum when we were having dinner haa... i was treated to a sumptous dinner at one restaurant as a reward for the kid's good results haa... the dinner was really quite good well but i think it cost a bomb haa.. but anyway, however good it is i think it has already been flushed away le! hee...

Shall go there again next time if i have the budget! =)

Anyway she says that if she is an interviewer, she will associate me with a nerd as the first impression, however she may think differently after the interview... she encourage me to speak more as it can help elevate my impression in others... apparently i think she likes the way i speak and carry myself i suppose haa but i'm too shy a person to be talkative la... shall work on that!

i really didnt know i can look like a nerd.. cos i think there are more nerdy person around then me hahhaha

Well its time about time to be sending in resumes to all the bank applications but i'm not doing it.. no time and no motivation to do it... maybe cos i don think i will really like a bank job other than the money and prestige that ppl always associate it with welll... shall see how... i have already missed one application deadline....

Seriously i'm considering teaching as a career... after hearing from my tuition kids what some teachers in school does... i think i can do ten times better... but what is holding me back?

- Association with a government job?
- Low pay that may not go up?
- Slow career progression?

Vs

Satisfaction....

i'm still thinking....

Short Breather...

2008-08-21T21:14:00.003+08:00

Finally got time for a short breather... Today is the first day since 10 August that i got the chance to be at home at 8 plus (Considered early)...

I don live in hall, and i sleep at home every day, but can u believe i haven seen my parents for 4 days? Since sunday, every night i only managed to get home earliest 1am and my parents had slept. When i woke up, they would already had gone out to work, and the cycle repeats... feel so bad...

Since last sunday when grandma passed away, was mostly at Teck Whye till thurs... Friday went back to school followed by campus concert urshering, Saturday was Cynosure Ball and stayed overnight at hotel till sunday before meeting for HJ and SJ birthday.

Monday was CAC Election Rally at night, Tuesday and Wednesday was Recruitment Drive and interview cum Global Bank talk.... REally, everyday was so packed until today's' election, finally i can say that there is time for a breather.... i hope to be able to catch up on the stuffs that i missed out this past weeks during the weekend....

I have been wanting to thank all my friends and cousins who were concerned about me since 外婆 passed away last sunday. This 2 weeks have been really too busy to think about it...

Had my tuition at night that sunday, and was eating dinner at the coffee shop at nine plus close to ten when my bro called. My dad ask us to go down to Teck Whye, and i knew it, the time has come... 外婆 is supposed to be at NUH and there can be no other reasons to go down to Teck Whye other than one...

Sped down in 10 mins, saw her for the last hour... she was struggling, in great pain, held our hands, i couldnt talked to her, my voice was lost, choked with tears... She groaned loudly and everyone of us could feel the pain.. we were just as equally in pain... The buddhist prayer was playing faintly in the background, and we all hope she can have a easy last few moments...

Its hard to control emotions even as a blog about this...

She shouted, thru the oxygen mask in Hokkien:" wah gia liao xiang zhao gou yi" ( i leave already who will take care of him) We wept and consoled her, we will take care of him, don worry, he also don want you to worry.... he is old enough to take care of himself already....

外婆 always scold him.. this is their way of communication for 50 years...

She told him:" wen lang ye gum qing... gia liao liao" (we have come to the end of the road of our relationship). Even though 外婆 was always scolding him, their love for each others were deep... 外公 always maintain silent as 外婆 did her scolding... this is their way of maintaining a relationship, accomodation for each other, understanding the temper of each others, that was how they lasted the past half-century...

Towards the end, she lost consciousness, and laid quietly in the arms of my uncle... slowly her breathing gets softer and softer... the rise and fall of her chest gets lesser and lesser.. and she left...

Every single one of us were shaken, but we pulled together, did all the arrangements required and make sure she can leave with peace in her mind...

The 4 days that followed must have been what she wanted to see.... Our whole family came together, worked hand in hand... i talked to a cousin i haven seen in 2 years... We always played together when we were young, but we grew apart as each of us became busy... we talked and helped each others out, knew more about each other's life now...

in the 4 days, i talked to one of my uncle more than wad i talked to him about for the past 10 years... I believe this is what 外婆 wanted to see, and i believe 冥冥中 she was with us all along to bring the family together.... she has a sharp mind, she could remember every single one of our names and what we were doing even though we don't always meet... its only her body that failed her....

During that 4 days, the person who felt worst could be none other than 外公.. he has a very tanned complexion... but i could see his swollen eyes, the redness in the eyelid despite it being tanned... his tears fell quietly, how is he to accept having to live without his partner... i realli hope i can do more for 外公... i shall try as much as possible to make time to go Teck Whye if i can...

Hope 外婆 will be able to bless 外公 and everyone of us....

This blog shall be dedicated to my dearest 外婆。。。

Mj and Coffee

2008-08-08T18:28:00.004+08:00

Well had one of my worse loss in MJ yesterday with kx, eileen and notoriously good at "diao zhin" queen Shan Yi...

Loss 1.5 times my chips... had $30 worth at the begining and i lost $45... All these attributed to me always "开枪"... i think 75% of the times its either they zi mo or i "开枪"...

Well i think at least this loss will curb my craving for mJ for the next 13 weeks ba, haa, the real busy school term has just started plus CAC committments its all going to be super crazy plus i got two tuition groups to handle plus projects.. hmm... feel sad cos i lost the extra income that i got from selling my compiled notes haa.. well just treat it as i gave away my compiled notes for free then...

Oh next topic of my post this time is about Coffee and Tea... Why i love coffee and tea so much..many of my friends say that i'm like an old man haa always drinking this two drinks even in hot weather.. well i actually have my own explanation for it...

Reason 1
They contain caffaine which perks me up and make me feel alert. it also makes my heart pump slightly faster and blood flow faster which is a good feeling haa

Reason 2
I cant take cold drinks... There is no medical history behind this reason, but i knew it within my body myself. Each time i drink cold drinks or cold desert, especially after eating a hot meal, i feel bad within my stomach and i will feel v lethargic... Worse, my usual symptons may appear...

Usual symptons
Sneezing all the way, causing tired eyes, and very bad feeling....

To add on to my reason 2, i feel that my body "qi" is not enough.. sounds very Chinese Medicine?? haa but its real. My body cannot produce enough warmth enough, i knew it myself cos i always have cold hands and legs, and i cant stand being in aircon environment for too long. and when that happens, i start to sneeze. its also the same when i stay up late at night, and have not enough sleep, i feel my body cant regulate enough energy...

That also explains why i like to do gardening sometimes, cos i feel good under the sun haa i like the warmth and i like to sweat, makes me feel better...

All in all, i think i'm a little 体弱多病 kinda hahahha.... although i don fall sick and have fever those kinda, but i just cant tahan too extreme stuffs ba... so must learn to take care of my self better now hahaha

Me and my foul mouth cum temper...

2008-08-08T18:03:00.003+08:00

I know i'm not one who has a very nice temper (those who work with me will know) contrary to what many who just get to know me perceive me as... many think i have the Mr Nice guy look, well its all in the appearance only, and it depends on how close you are to me...

Basically i'm an introvert, therefore i don express what i feel deep down inside me unless I know the person well enough, and sometimes is because i cant be bothered to express my opinion or critique since it's not something that affects me and i shouldnt be a kaypoh.

however if the issue is something that i care about and concerns me or my friends, normally i cant hold my tongue back. Just like my father (trying to link my temper to some hereditary genes haha - Excuses), i am one who will just shoot if i don like somethings or if i feel things are not being done up to my expectations... Well people may say I have very poor EQ, no denying that from my side, but its just me... i think i will offend tonnes of people with my temper and its not easy to work with me...

But funnily, during my PA attachment, there wasnt many things that affect my temper even though i see many things that i think can be improved on... perhaps it was due to my position at that time, i was just an intern and wasnt in an authoratative position... I guess its because i'm a perfectionist ba, i wouldnt allow my work to be sub standard especially if its within my control...

i really hope i can improve on my temper bit by bit, otherwise i really will get those related illness or disease soon haa e.g. hypertension... Seriously i think my partner needs to be one who has very good temper or EQ to help curb mine...

Genting!

2008-08-01T02:16:00.003+08:00

OoO Back from Genting!! it was a fun trip and definitely worth the money... for just $97 bucks we got a 3D2N stay at first world Hotel plus a to and fro bus coach haa....

First day was good! cos we got a good deal.. we booked for a VIP coach but got an even better one! One that can watch movies, play games and is definitely comfortable! ha

So here are the things we did over the 3 days!

Bowling

Watch Dark Knight

CASINO!

Watch HELLBOY

MAKAN

Walk walk

Play Boardgames!!!

Overall it was a relax trip haa... we did things at our own pace, sleep till we are full... took naps, played, gambled, and watch 2 movies! haa cos it was really quite cheap over there and there wasnt alot for us to do....

Jun An wanted to go have his palm read at Genting... but didnt in the end haa, it would surely have been quite interesting to know what the fortune teller would say...

Anyway here are the accounts:

ALL of us lost except JunAN who won at least 300 Ringgit haha

WeiZheng lost the least at 85 Ringgit and me 100 Ringgit...

Kx and SJ slightly more...

and after this experience we have identified KX as a potential future gambling addict! haha, anyway it was really fun la at the casino, though it would have been even better if we had all won!

KX already plans to have a yearly trip to Genting hahaha.....

End of PA!

2008-07-19T23:45:00.002+08:00

Whooooh! Finally ended my PA yesterday... and met up with Jun An and Zeren for Red Cliff.. Well its quite a nice show, it will be even better if they could have launched both part 1 and 2 together.. now gotta wait for its part 2... After movies was MJ session with Kx and JA and ZR, haa, was tired le, so ended after only one round, well but it was enjoyable...

i'm relieved that finally the working life has ended, at least for now... And i'm really glad that i went thru this Professional Attachment... I learnt alot in this ten weeks and i must say that i really know more about myself after this experience.

Prior to this PA, i only have a vague idea on what i want, in a very general form, and I'm just following the flow to try to reach my long term targets...

Now, I know better what i want in life, what is my priority now, my short term goals and what i want to do in the near future... Yes, previously i do noe wad i want, but i realised that what i have been wanting to achieve previously is more of a long long term goal, but before i can reach my final destination, i got alot of hurdles to clear and short term goals to achieve... yea... and i should be more focus now and not be side-tracked by distractions along the way...

There wasnt any bombastic event or what that happened while having my attachment at Steven Tan PAC, but it was the day to day experience that enlightened me... things I see each day...

Finally gotta thanks all my colleagues at Steven Tan PAC for teaching me all the stuffs and being patient =)

I shall embrace my last stretch of Uni life with vigour and strive to achieve my short term goals while always having in view of my final destination in the horizon...

i Wanna travel!

2008-07-10T23:32:00.006+08:00

Was drafting my email to NTU International Relations Office just now for my withdrawal from INSTEP and once again gotta overcome the feeling of wasting such a good opportunity...

Well, was also watching Channel U's 冒险王 the taiwan show and Channel 8's Mark Lee's show 有话敢敢说...

冒险王 they went to Argentina.. Woo the big ice berg there was majestic, and the sled dogs... oh they are so cute in the snow...

一切完美

2008-07-10T23:04:00.003+08:00

Oh man, this show is so nice.. currently screening on Channel U every monday to friday 11pm.. well so far two episode has passed, and each episode kinda have its story and meaning... coupled with the fantastic acting of Thomas Ong 王沺裁, Michelle Chia 谢韵仪....

In this 13-episode drama series, the stories revolve around beauty, both inside and outside. Alex Tan (Thomas Ong) a plastic surgeon and psychologist Kelly Lim (Michelle Chia) find it hard to come to terms with each other’s definition of beauty.

A plastic surgeon, perfectionist and skeptic when it comes to love, Alex never believed in eternity, until he met Kelly. He strongly believes “there is no ugly person in this world, only poor people” (“没有丑人，只有穷人”). When his daughter and ex girlfriend return unexpectedly, the relationship with Kelly is strained with obstacles.

One day his loses his sight temporarily, that is when he finally braves himself to go after his true love… The kind and caring psychologist Kelly, is not exactly what she seem to be. She has long been secretly admiring Alex since their university days, however due to misunderstandings, the relationship never worked out.

When Kelly’s mother decided to remarry, Kelly was distraught but with Alex’s constant encouragement they both become closer. When Kelly found out that Alex is taking a step back in their relationship in order for his brother to woo her, she is furious and dates Bobby Low (Alex’s friend and rival in cosmetic surgery) instead to spite him. Little did she know that actually she is being used…

Okie what i love most about this show is Michelle Chia's bickering with 王沺裁.. She always have some intelligent sarcastic remarks for him... she is able to depict the role of an intelligent women very well who can so 婉转的‘酸’王沺裁...

Otherwise for gals, you all can look at the show's eye candy - SKY, haa Thomas Ong's brother who is a gym instructor. My tuition kid actually looks like him can u believe it, just that he is like the teenager version haa..

Wah now i really become a 电视迷 already haa....

Decided...

2008-07-06T02:28:00.002+08:00

It was supposed to be a just try and see thingy... Until i got allocated a place for exchange to Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration which set me thinking for the past few months....

To go or not to go...

My recent decision was to wait for the scholarship award results that i applied... hoping that i would get the 4000Euros award which would help offset 80% of the cost.. But alas... there has been no news with regards to the application until few days back i sent an email to check out... and ya, the award has already been presented...

In the end, i decided, i shall not take up debts of $13000 just to go for the exchange... i do not want to be burden with debts of $30,000 right after graduating... $17000 will come from the school fees loan that i took up with OCBC... scary right, imagine u are already $30000 in debt even before u start wrking... yupz

this is even espcially so after my PA, realising that auditing rice is not good to eat and money is hard to earn... plus changes coming up for my dad's business... SHould be more financially conscious and careful le... i'm not young anymore haaa.....

Yea working hard now to earn tuition money... taking up one additional student tml... and hopefully another potential one will work out... yeap...

I shall save to make my Grad trip a fulfilling, fun, and unforgetable one... instead of spending 13k in europe alone for a few months, shall take part of the money to spend on my grad trips with my friends which i can totally enjoy with!!!

用跑的能到终点，
用走的也能到终点
为何不用走的，
沿途中还能欣赏风景。。。

haa... A word of wisdom from channel 8's 9 p.m. show to remind us not to be too deeply engrossed in the rat race... it's good to take a breather from time to time to realise what is more important in life so that you will not regret missing out things that you never realise u are missing...

Well its not saying that u shouldnt pursue ur dream and pia for it haa just that u should slow down and think about all that you are doing from time to time... =)

Portrait of an INFJ - Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging(Introverted Intuition with Extraverted Feeling)

The Protector

As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.

INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.

INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk.

INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive.

But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.

Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.

INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective. They make loving parents and usually have strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations of their children, and push them to be the best that they can be. This can sometimes manifest itself in the INFJ being hard-nosed and stubborn. But generally, children of an INFJ get devoted and sincere parental guidance, combined with deep caring.

In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art, and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition. INFJs can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not good at dealing with minutia or very detailed tasks. The INFJ will either avoid such things, or else go to the other extreme and become enveloped in the details to the extent that they can no longer see the big picture. An INFJ who has gone the route of becoming meticulous about details may be highly critical of other individuals who are not.

The INFJ individual is gifted in ways that other types are not. Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement.

INFJ Relationships

INFJs are warm and affirming people who are usually also deep and complex. They're likely to seek out and promote relationships that are intense and meaningful. They tend to be perfectionists, and are always striving for the Ultimate Relationship. For the most part, this is a positive feature, but sometimes works against the INFJ if they fall into the habit of moving from relationship to relationship, always in search of a more perfect partner. In general, the INFJ is a deeply warm and caring person who is highly invested in the health of their close relationships, and puts forth a lot of effort to make them positive. They are valued by those close to them for these special qualities. They seek long-term, lifelong relationships, although they don't always find them.

INFJ Strengths
Warm and affirming by nature
Dedicated to achieving the ultimate relationship
Sensitive and concerned for others' feelings
Usually have good communication skills, especially written
Take their commitments very seriously, and seek lifelong relationships
Have very high expectations for themselves and others (both a strength and weakness)
Good listeners
Are able to move on after a relationship has ended (once they're sure it's over)

INFJ Weaknesses
Tendency to hold back part of themselves
Not good with money or practical day-to-day life necessities
Extreme dislike of conflict and criticism
Have very high expectations for themselves and others (both a strength and weakness)
Have difficulty leaving a bad relationship

INFJs as Lovers
"To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before." -- Rollo May

INFJs are warm, considerate partners who feel great depth of love for their partners. They enjoy showing this love, and want to receive affirmation back from their mates.

They are perfectionists, constantly striving to achieve the Perfect Relationship. This can sometimes be frustrating to their mates, who may feel put upon by the INFJs demanding perfectionism. However, it may also be greatly appreciated, because it indicates a sincere commitment to the relationship, and a depth of caring which is not usually present in other types.

Sexually, INFJs view intimacy as a nearly spiritual experience. They embrace the opportunity to bond heart and soul with their mates. As service-oriented individuals, it's very important to them that their mates are happy. Intimacy is an opportunity for the INFJ to selflessly give their love, and experience it in a tangible way.

Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, INFJ's natural partner is the ENTP, or the ENFP. INFJ's dominant function of Introverted Intuition is best matched with a personality type that is dominated by Extraverted Intuition. How did we arrive at this?

INFJs as Parents
"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth...Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran

INFJs usually make warm and caring parents. Their goal is to help their children become adults who know the difference between right and wrong, and who are independent, growth-oriented individuals.

Along the path to that goal they are generally very warm and caring, and are likely to treat their children as individuals who have a voice in family decisions. They want their children to be able to think for themselves, and make the right decisions. They also can be quite demanding on their children, and may have very high expectations for their behavior. Although they are generally soft-spoken and gentle, they may become stubborn and sharp-tongued at times when their expectations aren't met, or when under a lot of stress.

INFJs take their parenting role with ultimate seriousness. They will make sacrifices for the sake of their children without a second thought, and without remorse. Passing on their values to their children is a serious priority in their lives. Children of INFJs remember their parents fondly as warm, patient, and inspirational.

INFJs as Friends
Although the INFJ is likely to put friends behind their God and their families in terms of importance, they do value their friendships. As idealists who have strong value systems, INFJs seek authenticity and depth in their close relationships, and especially value people who can see and appreciate the INFJ for who they are and what they stand for.

The INFJ is likely to spend a lot of time socialing with family members. If they are religious, they probably are social with members of their religious community. After that, the INFJ may have friends represented from any of the personality types. They are usually extremely intuitive individuals, who will have no patience for anyone they feel is dishonest or corrupt. They'll have no interest in being around these kinds of people.

All kinds of people are drawn towards the INFJ. They are usually quite popular, although they may be unaware of it themselves, because they don't place a lot of importance on it.
The INFJ is valued by their close friends for their warmth and consideration, their new and interesting ways of looking at things, and for their ability to inspire and motivate others to be the best that they can be. genuine article that they are.

Life @ work

2008-06-02T23:34:00.002+08:00

Finalli after so long decided to come online to blog again haa... working life can be tiring, and makes me lazy to blog...

weekends are precious, and also weekday nights, but den normalli after work will be so tired le, will be reluctant to go out and stay out... just wan to go home and relax in front of the TV.. haa since PA started, i finalli got more time to watch TV, cos too tired to go tuition at night and also too tired to run outside haa....

but last week was quite a week cos met up with quite a few grps of ppl... Tuesday was cousin ah qi's wedding dinner.. the dinner was quite cool haa.. with alot of pics, maybe some day i can upload a few here... wed was exco meeting... thurs met up with NTU school mates to share our experience in PA haha... funny and interesting stuffs... friday was with AFTH comm... saturday and sunday was also bz with tuition, minyan bday, grandpa house etc etc...

Realli not enough time when u are working.. actualli i wouldnt mind working if the pay is less miserable haa... one good thing when ur working is that u make better use of ur time ba i guess...

Internship realli expose me to many things... it's kinda like a risk-free exposure, cos u don realli have to worry much about your work performance, office politics, and yet get to experience it all...

at the end of the day, i still think that wadever u do, just be answerable for ur actions and be above board about it, things shouldnt go too off.. of course need to top it up with some PR skills la wahhaha... it helps it all!

today was on a bus and this mummy brought her little kindergarten daughter on to the bus.. it was crowded and there was no seat, so i decided to offer mine... haa the gal was cute... the mum was grateful.. and she spoke at quite a decibal to her young charge.. " Say thank you UNCLE" and the little innocent gal repeated just as loud word for word...

i was like .... and immediately corrected the mum... NO la kor kor can le ... hahah much to my own amusement... i don think i look old right? do i?

A day @ work....

2008-05-14T22:48:00.004+08:00

This is the kinda working environment in a client's meeting room for auditors.. will piles of documents spread all around...

阿伟人生大道理。。。

2008-05-03T19:43:00.008+08:00

欲速则不达 - 意思是说主观性急图快，违背了客观规律，反而达不到目的。对于“一万年太久，只争朝夕”的人来说，最不容易接受这个劝导。然而无数事实证明，“欲速则不达”是一个颠扑不破的道理。

"He that can have Patience, can have what he will" - Benjamin Franklin

Well i think this is something that i must always drill into my brain... Contrary to what some people i know tells me, i'm not someone who is very patient... Perhaps it depends on the kinda matters on hand, sometimes i appear to be someone who is very patient because i can have relatively high tolerance level for certain things, perhaps that creates the false image... or maybe there is just two sides of me...

i can be especially impatient to things that matters to me.. things that i want to succeed in... guess this is because i'm a result-oriented person... i always wanna see results and achievements.. haiz but i think this character of mine can really be my 绊脚石。。。

Alot of things cannot be achieved overnight, it takes patience, time, to build on... Just like planting a plant.. they wouldnt blossom overnight... sometimes people just make mistakes and learn things the hard way, but at least people learn... it will be bad if given the same situation and the same mistake is being committed again...

"The leopard never changes its spot", 狗改不了吃屎。。。

Well i think this really applies to some people some situation... However sometimes maybe its not the leopard never changes its spot.. just that it needs more time ba... （我想，白发魔女的头发是不可能在一夜之间变白的。。哈哈) i feel that a person's character is being moulded since day one that he or she is borned into the world... every single little thing that he or she experience moulds him or her in a way... and this moulding continues through out the lifetime after each experience...

A child cries when his candy drops on the floor... next time he will learn to be more careful when he is having his candy and not be so careless.. if someone makes a mistake and feel the pain, i think he or she will wanna change and avoid making the same mistakes again...

Therefore i would want to 推翻 this saying of "The leopard never changes its spot", 狗改不了吃屎。。。 ! haha... yea its easy to say, hopefully slowly i will learn... maybe doing gardening and planting helps in a way to cultivate patience hah...

ya and sometimes the more eager you want to achieve or get something, the harder it seems...

谋事在人，成事在天。。。有时还得看天意。。。。

我想。。。最终不管做什么事，带着一个平常心去做最好吧！可是说的简单吗。。。做起来，是需要放很多的 effort 的！哈哈。。。

Past few long days...

2008-05-02T23:55:00.003+08:00

Tuesday marked the last of the last paper! was glad that it was over, haha, although could be glader...

NEW Canteen A food court.. good or bad...

2008-04-18T14:19:00.003+08:00

Just had my lunch at the new foodcourt at canteen A!

Ambience:
Just like any other food court... too commercialize... but there is aircon, and smells a little like canteen 2 haa good for a hot day, but i would prefer canteen A on a cold and windy day...

Price:
Slightly more ex than canteen A in terms of food... about 30 to 50 cents more ex per dish... expected since its airconditioned and newer... inflation is like never before these days... But i think the drinks are more ex den the canteen A kinda... heard that ribena is 70c...

Food:
Seen and tried some food.. not up to my high perfectionist expectations so far haha... although the display looks impressive but many of the food is still no available, seems like its there just to fill up spaces....

Tried hor fun from mini wok stall, taste not bad, but there is not much ingredients... only sotong and cabbage and a few peices of fried fish... don realli think think that the fried fish goes v well with hor fun.. and the sotong is not QQ at all. its soft and "fen fen" one.. surely its not fresh, i spitted it out and never touch it after...

Wei zheng tried mixed rice from one of the stalls and complained that the rice is too hard... brocolli is hard also.. maybe he old le, den his teeth no strength??? wahhaha although he says that his fried chicken fillet is not bad...

beside me some ppl bought western.. the first word he told his friend when he reach the table is " cui" need i say anymore? although the outlook looks better than the one on styrofoam plates in canteen A currently, but i think maybe the price is not worthy enough... or are we expecting too much...

On the other side of me is a malay guy eating tissue prata! looks impressive... he mentioned it's $1.30 per piece... perhaps a bit pricy? and how can ur stomach get filled by eating tissue?? haha...

there are many other stalls to try, until then i still prefer the old canteen A hahaa...

Oh ya... there are alot of "chinese" workers in the food court... this morning i went to the old canteen A drink stall to buy my usual coffee and chatted with the red color tee shirt aunite(apparently they have a dress code) for awhile.. haa she is chatty and says that she is out of job le... her boss got another canteen in hall 9... haha, but she got no more jobs... she mentioned that her last day is on the 29th April.. ask me to go there say goodbye to her on the last day hahah happens to be my last day of exams as well!

will i pass by canteen A on the 29th? haha see how la, but i will keep the memories of canteen A.. haha ppl if u all wan please go say hi to her hahah she will appreciate!

Not feeling good...

2008-04-16T13:15:00.002+08:00

After a long wait of 7 days... finally tml is my first paper.. but all is not good... at least i don feel good about taking AA202 tml...

perhaps because there is so much things to know and absorb and to link up... Doesnt help that i haven been as consistent this semester haa anyway now is not the time to despair ba, so i can only bite the bullet and go! haha

yeah jiayou all my friends... another 2 hours time Shan Jing should be completing his 3 papers in 2 days le and tml i only starting my first paper... oh please exams please go quick....

Finally i figured it out!

2008-04-07T15:42:00.002+08:00

Remember this song?

2008-03-26T14:22:00.002+08:00

Que Sera Sera,

When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, what will I be

Will I be pretty, will I be rich

Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours, to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love

I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead

Will we have rainbows, day after day

Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours, to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own

They ask their mother, what will I be

Will I be handsome, will I be rich

I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours, to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be.

==> Maybe it's because i really hope that there will be some one who will be able to answer my question....

人因梦想而伟大.. a man without dreams is a man without a life.

2008-03-24T21:51:00.003+08:00

the above title is a quote from one of my good friend's blog... well well well, i think it is very true, just that i think i haven reach his stage yet whereby i really have a very clear idea on what i wanna do and achieve in life. i think i wouldnt know until i really step out to the working place and experience it myself life out there...

i guess this coming Attachment in May will surely be an eye opener for me, and hopefully i will have a more defined vision after that.

even though i may not have something very defined now, but i think it will be really good if my future partner can share the same dream and vision with me. Or i can share the same dreams and vision with her whereby we can really work towards that together and help each other out along the way and also achieve what we want to achieve together. that will be so good...

HJ has her dream of opening her own pre-school centre, and i think that it is really a good and feasible idea! and i have promised i will be her first investor and partner in the business! haa, well i think that is really a kinda goal that i can work towards seriously. And i love small children! they are so cute, innocent and lovable... had a great experience raising funds for Chen Su Lan Methodist Children's Home recently and it only strengthened my love for the kids!

Jia you huh HJ i will be waiting for the day to come!

been so long...

2008-03-23T14:16:00.002+08:00

Most sickening Semester EVER!

2008-03-05T18:20:00.005+08:00

wah buay ta han already... i think this is my most cui sem ever le... hmm can blame no one also cos i really also nv put in alot of efforts in my school work... this is wad i got for my 15% assignment in my comms....

plus another comms quiz i onli got 10.5 out of 20 when ppl are scoring 16.... i think its 10% at least... or is it 15%....

There goes my grades for comms surely...

i'm not really complaining or wad cos i can blame no one, this is realli a too bz sem for me to handle le.

Just submitted my IT report part 1 today.. and there is still part 2, 3, 4 due in earli april. ppl's report come with a media CD and a 1 inch thick report... mine comes with nothing, just a small can i say stack of paper.... and its like about 35% of the course grade... of course i still have part 2, 3, 4 to savage.. but i think its hard...

end of march still got AA202 boardroom meeting cum report to submit, plus AA201 analysis of Financial statement report. please tell me there are 10 weeks in March !!! damn it... Next week got another comms group presentation. 15% is it? i also not sure... they are squeezing us dry...

i'm "proud" to say i have done no single tutorials this sem for all my 4 cores subjects... luckily for IT i got Jun an's powerful last sem tutorials.. hope it will help me when the time comes to prepare for exams... Luckily for AA201 NEJ goes thru the lesson well... Luckil for AA202 i got ah ping's some short summaries... i really hope things will turn out well eventually...

one of my friend says, aiya alright one la, every time u turn out to have quite okie or good results eventually... hmm i dunnoe... haha, don wan to appear to be someone who always complain about not going to do well but eventually do well those kinda... but i just really feel insecure ba.... anyway its for me to rant here onli... ranting doesnt help in pulling up grades!

haa so i shall really work hard soon... provided i can finish the projects... and also AFTH administrative stuffs... plus committments to CAC...

study study study

2008-03-04T04:16:00.002+08:00

ooO its 4.15 a.m. already... haa, why am i still bloggin? cos i have been studying for my aa201 quiz later... actually haven been studying alot la considering i took a nap just now till about 1am plus haa, so now still got energy to go on...

yea, just blog to get away from all those sickening financial statements haha... thanks Rui Xian for sending me the template she compiled! haa... makes things easier....

actualli this quiz supposed to be easy to study one, since it was postponed before already, so by right now we just have to look thru and refresh things.. prob is i wasnt even prepared the first time round haa, thats why now things seems so unfamiliar.. guess many of my friends already slept like donnoe wad le... haha

luckily i was postponed la, otherwise i realised i would have definitely flunk it the other time!

Alternate Rock is cool!

2008-03-03T22:19:00.003+08:00

yea i'm not supposed to be blogging now cos tml got a 20% quiz.... sian...

Wad a weekend!

2008-02-25T01:33:00.012+08:00

Friday afternoon after project at Bishan, went down to Marina square 爱琴海民歌餐厅 to have dinner and chill with m friends... not bad la i thought the singers were good and entertaining.. anyway they are not professionals also la, so sometimes abit here and there not to our expectations still okie ba i suppose....

Although we wanted to catch up there, but den the music was kinda loud for us to talk, so after that we proceeded to Holland Village, Tapas Wine Bistro.. haa, Hoegarden with orange is nice! worth trying... Maybe beer lovers would think that it don taste like beer anymore, but i think i prefer the sweeter taste that the orange adds to it... not as bitter, well it's just my preference...

hmm we talked about stuffs at the wine bistro, too bad the kitchen was already closed by then, SA said that the food there was great, no chance to try it out, so i think we will be back again one day to try out the food! In the end we left at about 1 plus... cos tml morning still need to go ZOO, no choice, otherwise i sure cant wake up... ( I didnt ordered any alcoholic drinks as i'm driving haha just tried out a few sips of their drinks..)

And earli in the SAT morning i went to zoo with Yee hwee and Shi Tong... quite surprised the zoo is actually quite pack with ppl... but its quite nice and interesting la, just that its very big... walk until my legs very suan hahah.... too old for such things le maybe...

The recce was actually quite a short one, we started at about 1030 and ended at around 1pm... think we never dwelled for v long at each station ba, thats why... cos i got another appointment to go to! haa

MAHJONG session with KX, ZR And Chris... haa i was a little late la, and in the end we onli played for 1.5 rounds onli... sorry about it, not cos i'm late but cos i keep diao zhing haa... hmm i think lady luck was with me ba, den i kept winning although not in a big amount each time, but it caused the game to drag on... In the end KX AND LT gotta go catch their movie, and i gotta go ah gong hse for dinner le, so we stopped at 630 pm...

After which went ah gong hse for dinner haa, quite a sumptous dinner at ah gong hse cos he striked 4d during the CNY one of the days haa.. although not super alot, but i think its a good excuse to pull everyone in the family together for dinner le... hmm so we left at around 1000pm...

thinking that's the end of my saturday? haa nope!

haa reached home at around 1030, and super tired le after so many things... so took a quite nap until 1130, before leaving home again for Alvin's house in sembawang.. haa its the 2602 gang this time.. my AJC mates... hmm realli been some time since i went his house le, cos i didnt realised that the old sembawang shopping centre has been totally tored down le! i have been looking for the landmark, and i got lost cos i cant find it... that spells how long since i went his house... later i found out that its about 1.5 yrs ago le.. wah...

haa as usual la, at alvin house, watch soccer and play MJ... lost this time round but its okie la, i don realli like to be always winning... when u win some, u lose something else.. thats what i always think...

We lasted until 6 am... we talked ba and cooked maggi mee, milo, bread to eat haa, we realli treated alvin's house like our own... there was onli 4 of us, me alvin, guo xiang and jia rong.. Guo xiang has always been the more enthu one, in organising gatherings like this, kudos to him... always trying to pull ppl.. sometimes its not i don wan to go ba, realli cos too bz and too far le... ya who ask me a jurong west guy go study in Ang Mo Kio... my JC friends all live in AMK area and Seng kang... super far...

yea reach home this morning at about 11 am.. den i slept until 5 pm.. haa there goes my sunday... did a bit of gardening after that... one of my plants died... worms attacked!

the root was attacked by worms and it rottened... so no choice i gotta do an operation! ahaa i cut it up and replanted the healthy parts into smaller pots.. haa nw it look better.. hopefully they will survive and blossom....

ya den rearrange all the nicer flowers together to take a picture haha...

I'm a dangerous driver...

2008-02-17T22:39:00.005+08:00

Wondering why my blog is always so updated recently? guess cos i'm bored with nothing else better to do.. actually not really nothing to do la, just that never go and do... haa

Anyway was just back from sending my brother to camp in yishun and made a realisation... i'm actually a dangerous driver... especially when i am alone...

i took this with one hand as i drive... cool right the pic... Was driving the van just now on the expressway and listening to music..

There were times when i was stoning as i drove.. and there was time when i was just thinking about some stuffs as i listen to the songs... hmm i was like just going thru the motion of driving... i am driving but i am not... it was only like after maybe 8 or 10 seconds later that i woke up and realised hey i'm driving... but after awhile i got back to dreaming again...

Dangerous right? prhaps cos maybe the van was going too slow and there wasnt too many cars on the road, or maybe it was the songs that were being played... but the expressway was relatively straight and smooth... or maybe i wasnt so xi guan to be driving alone anymore... ya i also donnoe haa... Anyway next time if u guys wanna seat in the car i drive be careful ar, or keep talking to me make sure tat i'm really driving haa.... otherwise at ur own risk!

or maybe next time i shouldnt be driving ppl anymore.. haa, i die is my business, but shouldnt lian lei ppl right hahh....

Gardening!

2008-02-17T14:50:00.002+08:00

My latest hobby?

Haa, please don say i'm uncle or ah pek... but that was wad i did yesterday... Hmm i think it can be quite fun sometimes, especially after the process when u see the fruit of your labour and the sense of satisfaction that u can derive from it... hmm the plants in my house has been suffering from a lack of attention from us for donnoe how long le, and they all look like they are going to die and wither... i think they just look like me, haa scrawny and suffering from malnutrition so i decided to do something about it yesterday...

it was also a good opportunity for me to get some sun... in the end i shifted some potted plants, added soil and fertilisers, water the plants etc... hopefully they will look better in the weeks to come...

hmm, actually i think planting and maintaining a relationship is very alike.. you need to show the plants enough attention and care for it, watering it regularly etc before it will blossom.. just like in a relationship, you gotta put in the efforts... also, alot of times there are things that is not within your control... like the weather, fungi, viruses, worms which may kill the plants... they are just like the externalities in a relationship... with problems like 3rd parties, environment and peer pressure... no matter how much efforts u try to put in, sometimes u just cant help the situation...

This weekend really don feel like a weekend to me, dunno why... maybe cos i haven been going out to town or some shopping malls... but there are so little things i can do also.... hmm everyone busy with school work and preparation for quizes and project, haa nt easy to get ppl out... i miss my mahjong...

ya i also wanted to try out cable ski... that was like since some time ago le... i don forsee me trying it out anytime soon... Maybe until i find that someone i want to go try it out with... =)

Back with my blunders again...

2008-02-14T16:19:00.004+08:00

I just got home... red-faced...

I was waiting for sometime at Canteen A bustop for the 179 just now as i didnt drive today... Finally it arrived and i quickly boarded it...

A few stops later, an indian couple with 2 kids came onboard with a pram that makes the whole passageway so squeezy, therefore i offered my seat to the lady with her daughter... As the bus moved on, the little gal begin to play with the bell, and she kept pressing it, and the blur mum didnt even know.. the bus was moving quite fast ( the mum should pay more attention to her gal because if there is some sudden hard braking, i'm sure the jumpy gal will fly off, but she didnt...) and i can sense the frustration of the bus driver as he refuses to stop at one of the busstop even though the bus stopping light was lit and the bell was ringing away... anyway there wasnt any one who wanted to alight...

i wanted to go up to the mum and tell her to stop what her daughter was up to, but i think nvm la, just let her be, anyway my stop is approaching...

As i'm afraid that the bus driver may refuse to stop as he thought that there may be a prank, i decided to stand at the exit door early so that at least he can see me from his mirror... but as the bus approaches the bus stop, the driver did not stopped! i panic and as the gal is beside me and is still playing with the bell, the volcano within me exploded...

i spoke loudly and sternly to the mum: Can you please stop your gal from pressing onto the bell! she has been pressing it for some time already! ( Hinting that because of her playing with the bell, the bus driver skipped the bus stop totally...)

Next i thought its still okie, i can still alight at the next bus stop, so i walked to the driver and told him, uncle i'm sorry but i need to alight, and he replied:

"Sorry bus 179A do not stop outside NTU"

Den i thought, oh man! this is bus 179A! what a blunder! oh shit, why didnt i even notice! well i guess i was too much in a hurry to go up the bus le... In the end i apologised to the driver and plead to him to let me alight somewhere along the road... luckily he i still okie with it... otherwise i would have to make one big stupid round...

And i didnt dare to look back or walk back to the exit door, i just stood rooted beside the driver until he stop somewhere and i alighted and nv look back again....

But i think i still did right in scolding the mum...

Enough is enough....

2008-02-14T12:59:00.003+08:00

hey friends,

Have a happy Valentine's day! Hope ya all will treasure whoever u are with now, haa, i think its time for me to move on already, true, i will still be reminded of things that happened before ba, the good memories, the feelings and stuffs it just cant be helped...but the world wouldnt stop spinning for me right, yupz... and as long as the people i care for is happy, that will solve it isnt it... Ultimately that's what i hope for too... Be happy okie?

thanks people like jase, hua jie, james and all that were there... =)

Start of the day...

2008-02-13T21:27:00.004+08:00

I was munching my bread at canteen B this morning when this little small boy was seating two tables away from me and he kept looking at me... and showing off his packet of pocky that he is nibbling away... he is so cute...

Therefore i decided to take a picture of him haa... i guess there wasnt much for him to really look at ba, therefore in the end he turned away... haa children has short attention span i suppose...

Hmm today is the first time tat i got this feeling:

i was queueing up for my usual cuppa coffee at the drink stall, but just as it reach my turn to dispense the drink, i thought " oh man... coffee again..." i didnt know why i got this feelign, but i just suddenly think that i'm so short of option... although there is also tea, but tea is like half equivalent to my coffee already... so i didnt chose tea in the end also...

Hmm maybe i got this feeling cos i'm sick of cooffee already? maybe i shouldnt be depending so much on coffee already? or is it something in me is changing? i dunno... maybe i'm just a confused individual now who donnoe wad i wan anymore and what i should be doing anymore... feels like i lost my drive, and motivation and a goal... i always thought that i understand myself and know what i want to do and what i should be doing... seems like that's not the case now...

i think i'm just living out everyday for nw, and just do whatever that comes along my way... do projects when they are due, read tutorials when its time, go for lessons everyday... aint i like a zombie who just listen to the bells of the priest and follow what ever instructions that are given? maybe for now, it's like that....

i dunnoe what else to get and what else i would want, not having an idea... feels like i'm a stranger to myself... anyway in the end i still chose coffee... not because i want coffee, but rather because i didnt know what i want...

Next two days for CNY

2008-02-09T14:36:00.000+08:00

Oh so fast and it's day 3 le... haa chinese new year never passes by slowly... always in a blink of the eye... same to the everyday in our lives.. haa therefore we should really learn to treasure everything and everyone around us =)

Ya other than gambling and at my ah gong house the previous few days, been to the movies also to watch CJ7... not bad as a show la, for some laughter.. went with my bro, and cousins (weifen, sin yee, kai peng, ah ying) 6 of us on day 1 night of CNY haa.. was totally too bored la, so decided to go watch...

Day 2 went to a couple of places also before dropping by at ah gong house... not too bad, won at mah jong ( one win 3), just glad that i didnt lose, i didnt feel as much when i won haa kinda void of feelings now...

Yeah and later will be going ah hui house, gambling should be the thing we will be doing ba, nothing else much we can really do....

And tml day 4 will be ah mei house... all these visitings are quite the same as the previous years.. i think its good that our family keep together each year... these ties should and will never be broken.

CNY aside, i have a hill of school work to follow up on, but totally not in the mood to do anything about it...

got a AB214 Evaulation worth 15% wad the hell...got a big big IT project due in early march worth 35% that i never even started on, got a quiz coming up worth 20% ( the quiz that was postphoned and i got lucky cos i never realy study for it, so i think i should really grab the god given chance to really study for it this time round when i got the chance and time, but sometimes 心有余而力不足... think that will explain all...

Yeah i shall tell myself that i'm in the university now to study hard and do well and shall not disappoint my parents who work so hard... ya i hope i can keep it drilled into my head and not get affected by things so easily...

Chinese New Year

2008-02-09T00:10:00.000+08:00

oh its chinese new year again...

And cNY to me will not be CNY if i don go my ah gong house on chu xi for reunion dinner and then to the temples to pray on day 1 and visiting on day2 haa... actually each year i go to the same places and go thru the same procedures la, but now it seems as we grow older, the novelty wears off? it's not so fun anymore? or is it just because we got more things in our minds now to worry bout, and we are not as innocent as before anymore? therefore we cant learn to enjoy ourselves totally...

i guess its the latter....

Since young, i dread going to the temples, cos it will be smoky, and filled with people, and i hope to finish the ordeal fast so that i can go find my cousins soon at my ah gong's house to play cards, but this year, i no longer just take the joss sticks and go thru the motion before planting them into the "lu" or "urn" whatever u call it in ang mo...

i feel that it's much more meaningful this year as i visit the temple.. perhaps it's because this year i have something in my mind i want to wish for? This year, i really wish and say the prayers from the bottom of my heart, i wish for the good health, prosperity and happiness of not just my family, but someone else's... I went to many temples, and each temple there are a few "lu" and gods to pray to, and each time i repeat all my prayers conscientiously... i do not know where i got the patience... my mum must be wondering what's wrong with me this year as i took so long each time i pray to the god... Now it seems that they are the one going thru the motion and not me...

it may seems foolish, saying all these prayers when u don even know whether it will work or not, but i think maybe it doesnt really matters anymore, perhaps i will feel better by doing all these as i will choose to believe that after praying, she who matters, will be blessed... and i shall be happy for that...

To be treasured...

2008-02-05T16:06:00.000+08:00

It started on a Sunday night, 21/10/07,

It ended on a Sunday night, 27/01/08,

99 days is the short time it lived...

but eternally is the time it will last...

Thanks for all the sweet memories that you gave me

Exams coming!

2007-11-15T14:32:00.000+08:00

Here it goes again haha... exams are here!

haa blogging in NIE Library when i'm supposed to be studying just seems not right, but too bored and full to study now... no one to push me also today since i'm studying alone.. and the laksa from the canteen doesn't help... my stomach is like a cement mixer now, except now is laksa mixer hahah.. hopefully it get digested fast, otherwise i do not think that i will be able to seat down properly and study...

Haa the environment here is good... with the just right aircon temperature and excellent greenery view=)

till date have completed 2 Accounting paper and 1.5 tax paper... But i haven started a single thing for company law and malay! well guess i'm considered quite fast already as compared to some of my friends, since there is still 8 days to accounting and 11 days to tax and 13 days to company law... and i'm finished! haa

nevertheless i still feel insecure with regards to accounting and absolutely insecure with regards to tax... technically i have completed studying for both subjects and just need to try and attempt lotsa questions for now. but it ain't easy... hmmm think i just gotta keep on going and it will be over soon!

Jia you everybody=)

a little updates.. =)

2007-10-22T11:44:00.000+08:00

As usual, i think i will only say that i'm not busy when there is no school haha... so i'm still as bz as usual... but still manageable... as in i still wouldnt die out of overwrk...

Maybe is because i look at things more easily now ba =) there will always be unfinishable work, yupz, and there is slightly more time to study now as the committee stuffs are coming to a small break soon as exams are coming... only thing that is always at the back of my mind is the venue la, still cant get a proper venue for my event... hopefully things will work out...

Come to thing of it, my previous few postings has been of my blunders... so now, one more to add on:

I'm POORER BY 250 bucks recently for nothing... Decided to change to starhub instead on Singtel, so called 1626 to check on the day i cant upgrade my plans... i heard 18 sept correctly... therefore i went to cancel the singtel line... in the end i received a bill of 250 from ST... damn, i didnt realised that e 18th sept is the date for 21 mths upgrd... not 24 mths!

so friends, be cautious to this kinda traps.... don be like me....

yupz... oh ya, just last week i broke my duck! i won at the mj table finally... haa, shan jing, zeren, kai xiang all fell under my hands haha... thanks to luck la, cos i keep getting the flowers and animals.. pure luck, nothing i can say abt it, hope it will stay for long!

has been long since i meet up with nick, SA and edwin also... yupz... hope the exams come fast and go fast....

In bits and pieces

2007-10-01T15:39:00.000+08:00

Its a tough week ahead.... Only monday now... hope i can pick up the pieces some how and get thru the week....

Quiz is @ 830!

2007-09-29T12:01:00.000+08:00

It was a fine friday morning... Was supposed to go for my tax quiz @ 930. Therefore, i reach school slightly earlier @ abt 840 to sip my morning coffee first and have my bread.

I felt funny why i call my friends and no one pick up to tell me where they are.. Nevertheless i nv think much abt it and continue to watch channel newsasia abt the chaos in burma on the TV in the canteen A.

Until abt 915, oh yes i think i should slowly walk over to the LT first den find a comfortable seat. DOn care abt my friends who may be late ba since they also nv ans my calls and sms....

Outside the LT was exceptionally quiet. No one in sight. Until i open the door of the LT, i thought that there was a lesson going on, and i turn back thinking i'm earli la, still go and disturb other ppl's lesson. But wait, i see a few familiar faces, and i turn back again and asked, is this the tax class???

i hear a few laughter... my heart dropped a bit when i hear the ans. yes this is the tax class. I asked again: huh u all start the quiz already ar? and my heart plunged when i hear the ans... yes we started.

Why start so earlier! nv wait for the late comers... somemore i'm not even late yet. i still thought that only the paper has been distributed but not started yet, until i see some ppl already attempting the paper. dozens of eyes look at me and i look back, still confused... i look back until the tutor came in. i scrambled to find a seat, throw my things down and start on the paper.

He told me," sze wee i can only give you an additional 5 mins after the otherss have stopped.." i could only say ok...

the test started at 840. Supposed to end at 930. i walked into the LT at 920... simple calculations...

in the end i could only skim thru the qns without realli understanding it and write down a mcq ans. luckily its mcq....

in the end i got an additional 10 mins. but i had to spend it amid a chaotic crowd busy discussing abt their papers that they had handled in. How can i concentrate!!! somemore its TAX! no choice la, guess Mr Tan already good enough... who to blame but myself...

Meaning of lfe...

2007-09-17T22:54:00.000+08:00

Meaning of life... to make lotsa money? to engage in meaningful activities? hmm.. i think everyone should ask themselves.. if i'm old now and looking back, what would i want my life to be like...

To be always working and rushing here and there? to have a happy family? to have lotsa friends? to have accomplished something great? What is it that i want myself to have done? Now i'm not so sure yet, but as i think back i wouldnt want myself to be like everyone in the rat race...

i don want to be just rushing about... haa as wad vivien said on sat, i think i would want a bit of laid back lifestyle... that's why i think i should not stress myself too much over tutorials that i cant complete. why sacrifice my sleep and health and social life over school work? not that i'm saying i would not care abt anything, just that as long as i have tried my best, and make use of my time wisely, i shouldnt stress and worry myself unduly.

Yup that is never easy in this society whereby everyone will be comparing with one another. Haa now i'm saying this probably because today i don feel like a perfectionist... anyway my perfectionist character is something that i can improve on as well ba... lowering my requirements sometimes... ya i mean sometimes..

yup had a good weekend. Fri night went to meet up my ex chief RNS, ccomms, NO they all... ya realli missed the time we had together during my NS in the navy lar... yeah thanks for the watch! haa really need one... so very happy to get one from them as my bday present...

Saturday night went out with kx and co.. was a fruitful trip as well.. in a sense got to know more abt zr as well...

Notice i never speak abt the day time, cos friday was a full long day for me, and fri evening gotta be the usher for CAC campus concert... SAt morning was my Ippt and sat afternoon back to cac room to do spring cleaning...

Yesterday and today spent time catching up on my tutorials... yup fruitful as well, not that i had completed catching up on everything, just that i think that i had spent my time wisely... i'm contented... so i'm happy... feel like i'm in my own world now, thats why i can be so contented...

Well i hope that i can carry on to be this contented... Sat morning had my ippt... and rain brought me to know of a taxi driver who sent me home.. well he was so happy go lucky.. not that he don have anything to worry abt.. but it's his philosphy of life that impress me... life is short.. really... so we must realli make it a happy life... alot of times, things that we are pursuing are merely nothing impt if we consider carefully...

yup i hope this thought will stay in my mind for a long time... but i noe, sometime soon, reallity will come knocking hard on my head haha... ya today i'm happy maybe is because i had a good night rest last night too... slept at 10pm and couldnt care less ahaha... so i'm fresh today.. how many of my friends has the luxury to slp at 10....

yup another reason could probably be that i just drank a cup of warm milo... the sense of satisfaction is immense... to feel warm and full... to feel contented.... ah... that should be life... = )

好心有好报？？

2007-09-10T16:51:00.000+08:00

Last thurs i found a Fossil watch at the FAL, at one of the computer terminal. I wrote a note and my HP number to ask the person to call me if he is looking for his watch...

later in the day, he called and i happily return the watch...

Last Saturday, i was in the FAL again, i used my thumbdrive... and i forgot to pluck it out...

Why was there no note on the terminal for me to call the person who has found my thumbdrive when i went back???

Updates?

2007-09-07T00:37:00.000+08:00

Haa Jeremy want a update of my life... Basically 24 hours not enough... Always catching up on tutorials, never ending... plus exco gonna start to be busy already with all the stuffs... plus my project gonna start real soon... oh men...

Gotta try to clear all my backlog by this weekend sia, next week will be just as busy...

Fri going to meet up long long nv met Navy ex-comrades in arms, Sat scheduled to meet Kai xiang and co haha...

Now i feel i got clashes everywhere... clashes of events and things to do.. mY tuitions, my meetings, project, friends, exco investitute(the biggest clash) wad a day to be....

thanks all my friends...

2007-08-25T15:21:00.001+08:00

Yeah thanks everyone for ur words of encouragement! Thanks jean, louis, jem, hian yin, clara, lim lin, kx, ja, jia xin and everyone who dropped by to help share the weight a little... and of course the ex-exco quad! yup i ll give it my best shot...

haa ya sometimes indeed i'm stressed, but must clarify, sometimes i'm just being serious, not that stressed. just that my serious look make me appear to be very stress haha.... yup but nevertheless thanks!

A good lunch...

2007-08-20T18:38:00.001+08:00

Finally today i have the chance for a good lunch... not that it's sumptous, not that it is in a restaurant, not that it was free...

but that i have the time to finish it slowly and savour the taste of it bit by bit without any rush...

but that i got the chance to slowly sip on my coffee as i wait for the fishball noodles to slowly digest...

but that i got the time to reminise over the happenings in the past few days...

The past few days have been nothing but a rush, didnt even had the chance for a proper meal since friday. especially on saturday, only ate a few of the left over sushi of the contestants as i run from room to room. throwing one sushi down my mouth and rushing off... Den eating some leftover food from the table in the dinner. Not that i'm complaining, but its just part of the experience which i would still choose to have if given a second chance.

Now its time to consider some other stuffs.... to focus on my studies and be studious or to take up a new challenge in another committee. The lure of achieving satisfaction in another committee is great, but the possibility and downside of having a lousy academic result is equally great as well...

What do i do...

Suddenly its all over

2007-08-19T21:48:00.000+08:00

Yeah... Finally the night was over... Glad that everything turns out well generally=) Really relieved, but it's like so sudden and its over... haven even got the time to stop and think abt it. It has been a long one year of planning and execution...

Must realli thanks all in the comm who had contributed, realli been glad to have everyone in the comm... Also must really thanks AFTH guys for supporting = ) Really nice of u guys... Has been a memorable night, though i was a bit too tired to show that expression... Kinda touched also

Made alot of friends in both comms... Ya, friendships never come easy, and we should appreciate that and maintain it! lets meet up more haa...

Ya we stayed back in the hotel after the dinner, but i guess most of us were abit too tired to enjoy the night that is left... So next time we meet we must make up for it k!

And today is hj bdae also, Happy Birthday to my good friend =) Stay good haha

me and my itchy butt...

2007-08-04T23:46:00.000+08:00

Was supposed to reach home about 10 from work today... but i got an itchy butt and decided to take a bus from park mall to try try.... And now i noe in future mrt is always the fastest to reach my super inconvenient home...

I was already outside the gantry of the Mrt, before i turned back and took the escalator up to the bus stop outside again... Wanted to take either 174 or 502 to boon lay... Had a long long wait before 174 arrives... The bus ride was really bad, even though i had a seat, but its still so uncomfy... Worse.. i drank alot of water before that... the frequent stopping and moving of the bus make me feel like puking also, in the end i took the bus till bukit batok buay tahan already, left the bus, try to walk as steadily as possible to the near by petrol station, not because i wanna puke, but because i needa pee! haha...

Tired from a day work le, after relieving myself i took a cab home-$6 +1.50 for the journey home today... so stupid right, gt a nice ride home by MRT don wan, choose to try out the bus service... serve me right...

Windfall meal from the Great Spore Sale...

2007-08-03T00:50:00.000+08:00

Yeah, juz got home after a dinner treat from staffs of Cellini.. the furniture shop that i had been working part time since ORD... Last 2 months had been v good for the co thats why, broke alot of targets and got the incentives... not a bad steam boat@ tiong bahru just that its a bit of ex @ 270 for 8 pax... maybe cos of the fresh prawns and beer ba... anyway i'm not the one paying hahaha so anything is fine!

Before that had tuition with seah cheng again... and even before that went to vivo to catch a movie with JA, SJ, SR, HJ. first time in the theatre of vivo, not bad la juz like the cathay, new and nice. The show disturbia is not bad also, so in the end was quite enjoyable.

Sent SR to JE after that and HJ to JP. Talked along the way... mm... still think that HJ is one friend who noe me well... maybe is cos i'm to easy to understand? or she has the ability to really understand her friends around her well? or just that we can click well haa.. i also donnoe, but i always noe she is someone whom i can talk to la... ya and btw the shirt she bought from thailand is a bit of tight fit lor, still say its too big... but the design is quite nice la, just that i think maybe i don have the physique to show it off well haa

yeah and tml is badminton session with HJ and co! finally got a chance to sweat again... although i think i shd go running to train for IPPT... but hard to get ppl to run together, running alone is super boring...

Friends...

2007-08-02T00:59:00.000+08:00

Have been meeting up groups of ppl these past few days... Last saturday went working after that party world with gx, jr and alvin. Den went alvin house to play mah jong with jae also.. has been a long time since i saw him.. still the same on the outside....

sunday was a day of soccer with cousins...

monday another outing with gx and jr to try to look for stuffs to buy la, but its quite hard to find things that we really wan.

Yesterday was a long day with the Ball committee ppl- fitting session @ crocodile, kimage, modelling, meeting. all pack in one day.

just now went to sing k box again.. this time round is with NPCC FOC ppl. haha not much ppl la, juz Zhong yi and Xinni.

Tml meeting sec school friends- SJ, HJ, Sr, JA.

Ppl i haven meet and should meet up: jem and co from AFTH, SA and co from Navy, and also arlene and chief eva from navy as well, and maybe also mj with issac and co haha

Basically that will comprise of ppl from my sec, jc, ns, and uni....

Talking about friends... seems that as we get older and older, it gets harder to make good friends as well.. as lot of times ppl have their own agendas. it can be seen in Uni already... Ppl u noe and ppl u call friends are totally 2 different things. i would say that i know quite a few ppl around, but to really define them as friends maybe yes maybe no... or is it my problem actualli? maybe i haven been accepting ppl as friends readily? maybe i think too much.. ya i think maybe that's the case, maybe is my own personality problem...

How nice it would be if everyone are simpler, and not so complicated... I'm not some one like guo xiang who can be so friendly to everyone even though he don noe the person v well... i guess its gonna be helpful to him in future.. i regard that as a good netwrking skill, he has huge social circle and that is definitely good for him.. sometimes i hope to be as friendly as he do, and be able to talk cock with strangers like any other friends.. but that is jz not me...

Sense of Satisfaction...

2007-07-31T00:01:00.000+08:00

Sometimes in order for u to be able to have the drive to continue to do something, u must like the thing that u are doing.. or be able to gain a sense of satisfaction out of it... Thats the thing that i feel i am gaining out of my tuition lessons now...

It feel good to see the boy improving much under ur guidance... sense of achievement... However i'm not sure whether i will be able to get the same amount of satisfaction out of my probable future job as an accountant... gotta see how my professional attachment turns out next year le lor haa... scareli i wouldnt like it so much so tt i decide to do a career switch! v highly likely, but as a cautious person, it would realli take alot for me to make this kinda decision sia...

i had my palm read...

2007-07-26T16:14:00.001+08:00

oh ya something interesting... i had my palm read by a person who noes how and i trust... somethings that he said:

1. I'm a stuborn person which i agree
2. if i wan something i will have the determination to get it or get there
3.my lucky number is no1
4. i was a much more confident person in the past, till i was sec 3.
5.i wouldnt have much luck in love haha... but i would still get married, maybe when i'm abt 27 or 28.
6. i would get to travel in my life
7. i would die a foreign land...
8. i wouldnt have much problem in my career
9. i am not good in keeping money, so i need a wife who is good at managing money. I totalli agree with it!

and many more. i asked him why for point 7. he say its juz like that, but he is sure, gurantee plus chop that it will happen. kinda sad to have to die away from my homeland singapore... One ppl, one nation one singapore! haha no choice la, listen lor, unless i choose not to travel for the rest of my life, which seems quite impossible la...

Back from exam...

2007-07-26T15:53:00.001+08:00

Think i shd get out of spore ba... friends all going abroad this holiday... some already went and come back and went and come back twice! wth.... seriously i shd consider doing something...

Tiring day @ work... Cellini + Zouk

2007-07-08T23:02:00.000+08:00

had a damn long day yesterday.... worked in cellini from 12 to 7 like that.. haa asked to be released earlier so that i can rush to zouk... first time working in such an environment so donnoe wad to expect also...

actualli was dere as a rep from citibank la, juz to introduce some new system whereby payment is done thru finger scanning.. so not exactli zouk employee haha, but the counter is the lobby area la...

it's quite cool dere, gotta see alot of different ppl.. and i must say there are alot of pretty gals... with all kinda fancyful clothings la... but for me these kinda outing once in a while is okie la, ask me to be dere every day think i cant take it la.. plus its full of ppl smoking.... wondering why? even though smoking is banned inside already.... it's not banned outside! ahhaa tts why everyone smoking outside at the lobby dere....

finished work at 1 am den i went inside to take a look la... mm.. okie la nothing much special, loud music and alot of ppl dancing... perhaps i'm not high on alcohol tts why? haa...

Nice day...

2007-07-04T23:36:00.000+08:00

Today is a happy day for me... why? cos there are nothing to be sad about haha... Went for my PA course in the morning 9 plus.. quite interesting today cos we had mock interviews and we see how our peers perform under simulated conditions like a real interview...

After that went for lunch with no-gf-SA haha... and i decided that the van is dirty enough... heng SA help me out otherwise think it will take damn long to wash alone... actualli he wanted to have a tan.. luckily there was sun at the porch, so we washed the van half-naked, washing while tanning..

den abt 1 plus we went for a swim juz across my hse, plus tan again...

made our way to queensway after that.. wanted to get a leather shoe, but ended up buying a tee shirt haha... i saw one that i think is nice(not easy to get one i like) but it's selling at 79 bucks man... at queensway.. and i don even recognise the brand la.. so decided that i shd go down town see if there is any better options before committing...

SA also broswed for his sneakers la, but again... money is the stumbling block haha...

By the time i reach home also 7 pm le... tired sia.... soon after i received an sms from Jem to go play pool at the usual place haha... ON ar.... had a few games with jem and his bro and now i juz got home again....

mm... seems like i did quite alot of things today... good... i like it this way.. although quite tirin, but at least i feel i nv waste e day away...

ya one thing i wanted to do today but haven... wash my toilet... its much over due le... guess i realli gotta wash it soon ahha....

Pale in comparison...

2007-07-02T17:15:00.000+08:00

Bowling...

2007-06-29T16:52:00.001+08:00

I got a wake up call early in the morning @ 9.30 from ah gong... actually not that early also la.. he was alone @ his usual hunt... CDANS Bowling alley just across swiss cottage sec... haa ask if anyone wanna accompany him...

haa... in the end only got me, so i made my way down, luckily got van at home... in the end i lost all the games... we shared a terminal with two other young punks... initially they were there and seems amused by ah gong's posture as he bowl.. but slowly i can see their amazement as ah gong hit out a few strikes each time... haha... although i was no where near ah gong, but still proud of it..

luckily ah gong called, otherwise donnoe till wad time i'm gonna sleep... such a waste of time to slp the morning away.. but everytime i told myself to wake up early the next day, i failed... haa unless got lessons la den no choice... even so, i will also lai chuang till the v last min den wake up one.. that's bad... show my lack of discipline and determination man.... hope i can achiece my goal of zhao shui zhao qi one day.... it will be good if i can slp @ 11pm and wake up @ 8 or even 7 plus in the morning... haha but think i can only dream of it... hehe

going tuition soon... and i juz remembered my leather shoe is spoilt! shit... tml need to wear to work... how ar still cant find one satisfactory and up to my expectation one leh.. don wanna anyhow buy also...

Worst defeat ever...

2007-06-27T01:37:00.000+08:00

Just sufffer e worst defeat ever in my life on the mahjong table... think i have been playing mj for at least 3 years plus le ba... today is the first time i cleared all my chips even before the first round ended...

Luckily we onli play 20 cents 40 cents... if it is with ah sian they all... i would have lost 300 dollars... but today is also bad enough although i only lost 30 dollars...

think i havent been winning for quite some time le.. plus haven't been v lucky recently also...

guess i need a change of luck...

time to slp now...

Happy 77th

2007-06-25T23:07:00.001+08:00

Oh Sat is a great day cos it's my ah gong bdae.... haha... before that went to k lunch with a few of my cousins... it has been awhile since i last went... okie ahah quite enjoyable... But after that v tired also donnoe why...

Den went to Jase's Condo across the road from Lot1. The usual function room... Still early and few ppl had arrived, therefore a few of us cousins went to seat by the pool side to talk... talked abt lotsa stuffs... e.g. how things are different now when u grow older... u no longer enjoy the simple joy and laughter that we once enjoyed... things in our family etc etc....

Later in the night we sang the song and presented our presents to ah gong... that was the climax... everyone was just happy...We made a scrapbook for ah gong, inside is every grandchildren's wishes for him... 31 in total... and later we sat down with him and ah ying read out every single wishes to him... haha he must be super touched la... here's wad i wrote...

亲爱的阿公，

你就像天上的太阳在我们生活里给我们阳光也只润大地,

在夜里你就像月亮，而我们就像天上的星星陪伴着你

希望你能永远像天上的太阳在我们的生活里发光发热

也能像天上的月亮永远陪伴着这一群可爱的星星。

我们爱你阿公。

世界上伟大的人。

that's the best i can remember... mushy right... but i dare to say its wad we all feel... why be afraid of mushyness? better to say it when the person is still around right... 阿公你最棒！

we went for lunch at canteen 11 and decided to ask nic out also, in the end we managed to get to the swimming complex oppostite my hse at onli 4 plus haa... as i was waiting at the lift lobby i saw a familiar notice dere... "SWIMMING COMPLEX CLOSED EVERY TUESDAY FOR MAINTENANCE" shit! haha i forgot all abt it.. in the end Nic drove us to jurong east.

Boring few days....

2007-06-15T12:08:00.000+08:00

it has been a boring few days for me...

I went to take a ferry on wed again! there is the sea breeze, the "beach" and many people.. But this time round its not to tioman.. but to the once so familiar island that most guys gotta spend abt 2 months of their life in. PULAU TEKONG...

Went dere for my bro passing out parade which now they seems to be calling it the graduation ceremony. Everything there seems quite the same... and tears actualli flowed down my cheeks on that day...

Not that i'm touched... juz that i was bored to tears haha... spend like 2hrs waiting over there for the parade to start man. But the few hours spent dere allowed me to reminise my BMT days haha... not bad la..

After getting out of tekong went to my parent's shop and packed up for a family dinner w/o my elder bro. (coincidentally he went tioman also with his friends). has been sometime since we realli have a proper family dinner. last time when we lived at bukit panjang we will still go the le kou fu makan. but maybe because we have grown up, therefore these chances are less ba...

Yesterday went school to help Henni in the calling for sponsorship and after that went to teach tuition. such a convenience to have a car to drive around haha since my bro not ard these few days...

Oh and late last night i passed the badminton net to Jem, wah such an envy.. he is always full of activities... plus he got his own business to handle and to be occupied with la... He told me that i shouldnt stay at home all the time... should get a life man.. don wait for ppl to call me out and i shd take initiatives some times... mm... food for thought haha...

ya i got try to get ppl la... e.g. for my cousins singing session.. but most ppl are working man or NS... so hard to organise sometime... also i got the tuition assignments to do haiz... Next week special sem starting le... goning back to semi school life soon.. donoe shd be happy or sad... one thing is it will keep me occupied... but den i starting to feel more and more that i have no life le.... come on some one save me pls...

gonna go tuition again tonight... realli no life sia... =(

Cup of Tea...

2007-06-11T15:39:00.001+08:00

i like to be at the coffeeshop drinking my tea or coffee and reminise wad had happened or just watch ppl pass by or work... such an enjoyment...

And as i was sipping this cuppa tea i thought thru wad had happened the past week... and i start to regret missing the chance to make another new friend over at tioman... now it seems all too late, unless there is really fate, i guess my chance is gone.. twice i had the chance, but i nv grab it... there isnt any clues for me to find and start with... there was no name, no phone number, no address no nothing... just too late...

can only blame myself...

1st day of Hangover....

2007-06-11T12:15:00.000+08:00

Woke up in the morning to a different experience... no sea breeze.. no beach view... no buffet breakfast... no more spore gal's glance... and this is called hangover...

went down to get the papers and took my usual cup of lipton plus bread...the usual kinda news on the papers.. so boring, no interesting tv shows also in the morning..juz some repeated telecasts of dramas.. wad a way to start my first day of the week...

after checking on my emails and soccer news, there is nothing much for me to do already and so i can only blog... blog abt my sianness....

programmes for the rest of the day- go out buy lunch, wait for fan repairman to come repair my ceiling fan in the room, go out teach tuition at 5pm...

i wonder how my other cousins are coping haha... probably working already...

Tioman Tioman....

2007-06-10T22:33:00.000+08:00

ooO juz got back from my 3d2n trip from our neighbouring country.... Wad a nice experience.. although there wasnt exactly alot of things to do at tioman, but it was this nothing-to-do-ness tt allow us to really relax and do nothing much!

Woke up at 5am on the first day and got to golden mile at 6am as instructed by the tour agency. In the end we only boarded the bus at 7 and started on a long and tiring coach ride to our first stop- Tanjong Gemok. We reached there at ard 1145 on the note that the agency told us we will be able to board the ferry at 12. But to our horror, the ppl dere said tt it has been "delayed" till 2 pm. Seriously I sense something fishy at this moment. this is because it appears that we had already been allocated the 2pm ferry ride all along, the agency just lied to us abt the 12pm ride... But we can do nothing much also since we are alr stuck dere. therefore we went for our lunch first and waited patiently till 2pm...

when the ferry arrived, we were quite excited but decided not to rush since the seats are all allocated on the ticket stubs.. therefore we queued like obedient singaporeans until we discovered horror no.2, the seats allocated are just for show haha...

When we managed to get onboard, we need to endure another 1.5 hrs ride... so tired of all the travelling man.. juz wanna get to the place fast haa... it reminded me of a comment by the coach driver( u wan fast take aeroplane lo...) althought the ferry ride is boring, but we managed to take some pictures on the deck...

By the time we reach dere it was already late afternoon and we are all tired from the travelling. but it's nice to noe the resort is quite comfortable.(except that the water heater is not working) Programmes for the first day ended with a evening dip into the water, our dinner, exploring the surrounding area, booking for our snorkeling trip, pool, chilling out in the open and enjoying satay plus stingray....

Day 2 is an exciting one... we set off for our breakfast early in the morning in anticipation of our snorkeling trip! oh and i also met a s'pore gal at the breakfast area... we exchanged a few glances at each other, i think she noes i was looking at her, and i noe she was looking at me also haha(perhaps its because there isnt very much ppl of abt our age over dere ba)... but she's a xiao mei mei la, probably oldest abt 18 years old? tts why it just stopped there... she's always with her parents as well tts why... nv mix ard...

Snorkeling was fun! we took a boat out to the area and enjoyed the surrounding with fishes all around u.. the experience was great and it was beautiful... the corals are not that outstanding though, i guess it would have been even more beautiful a few years back.. tts why we shd protect the environ...

After the snorkelling we were all exhausted but not sunburnt(thks to banana boat). In the end we had a nap while my little cousins hone their skills at the pool table.... the aunty and uncles played their never boring game of LABI as usual haha. At night we also had a cuppa or more than that of red wine.. now i think i'm slowly more able to appreciate red wine than those vodka and wadever haa...

Day 3 morning i saw her at the breakfast table again.. as usual glances were exhanged and nothing happened haa... maybe one day i will see her in spore... maybe i will make a new friend den haha

After our breakfast we sat at the table and listen as our aunty and uncles talked abt their childhood stories and how our parent's life were last time... It's always sweet to look back at your past experience and laugh at it... Even more interesting for us the later generation to hear abt it....

i managed to shop for2 tee shirt and a bermuda shorts from the souveiner shop haha... nothing much to buy over there... We also plucked 5 coconuts from the tree outside our room to savour the juice haha... just do it the primitive way(smash in on the floor) when u do not have a chopper haa...

The return trip is the most sian one... got onto ferry at abt 12noon and reach causeway at only abt 7, after that we each took a cab home from woodlands.. and i'm still suffering from abit of hangover man... but i quite enjoyed the trip....

Do i look like i'm 25 years old?

2007-06-03T15:02:00.000+08:00

Had been looking for tuition assignments to do for 2 weeks le... And these few days have been suddenly flooded with agencies calling in. In the end i accepted an assignment to teach a sec 1 student maths and science. It will be good if it just end here... the catch is that i have been asked to pose as a graduate full time tutor..

Just a day before the assignment.. now i'm starting to feel bad... the initial promised of a slightly higher pay doesnt seems so attractive after all... Just found out that it is actually not that high also. Money is not the issue i'm bothered with actually. It is the issue of having to lie to the parent about my actual identity.. what if they demand to see my Ic? die... and i'm supposed to lie throughout the whole period of assignment? tough.... it's just against my principle.. feel so bad...

Just hope the parents wouldnt mind...

What a blunder….

2007-06-02T17:38:00.001+08:00

Next time when anyone is going to book for movies tickets online should really pay careful attention to the timing they are going to book… seriously I think that Cathay should start printing their timings using 24 hrs format… Otherwise… People like me may just take 3.00 a.m. as 3.00 p.m.

In the end it was an unforgettable experience, watching Pirates in the middle of the night. Sacrificing sleep is one thing, having the original pre-planned programs for the next day all messed up is another.

In the end me, Jun An, Zeren and Shan Jing had to meet up at 3am to watch the pirates. We nearly had a second blunder when we went into the wrong theatre showing the same show and we thought that we were late for the show. In the end we managed to realize that we walked into the wrong theatre. Thanks god…

It was tiring enough to reach home at 7 am in the morning. And worse I got to help my dad deliver sacks of rice and daily necessities to a couple of temple and home. After a look and strenuous morning as a “coolie” I managed to reach home at 2 pm for some sleep before going out again with HJ and co to sing! Haha… quite enjoyable.. however it was a real long long day… no one to blame… I will be more careful next time! = )

Customers are not Kings…

2007-06-02T17:32:00.000+08:00

Saw an article in Today’s newspaper with regards to a commotion that happened in a certain bank. The issue was that one of the bank’s customer officer attended to a man who seemed lost and wandering about without first attending to the lady who was supposed to be next in queue. The lady made a din out of it and embarrassed the bank officer. Why is this happening? I got my fair share of ugly Singaporean customers while working in the sales and service line.

Why can’t we be more gracious? Many complain that Singapore’s service sector is performing poorly and we need to improve on it. However I think that in order for our services to be improved, the attitudes of the customers should also be looked into. I do not like to enter into a confrontation. It is always better to settle things in an amicable way. Are we too demanding as customers? I guess so. Singaporeans expect too much. The everyday life is already stressful and tiring enough. Why make it worse for people? It will be such a wonderful thing to do if we can brighten up somebody’s day.

It may seem like something for the people in the service industry to do; however I beg to differ. People at the receiving end of the service can play their part as well. Who doesn’t want to have a happy day? We should all give and take sometimes. That’s my philosophy. Will it take a piece of flesh off you to wait for 5 more minutes? Will it make u happier at the end of the day to shout and express your anger at someone? We should do more to make everyone’s day brighter! What goes around comes around.

What a FEAT i achieved today...

2007-05-29T18:48:00.000+08:00

Cool... i juz decided that i should maybe start a blog today... 兴血来朝... is this the correct spelling? or wordings? haa my chinese realli cmi... So sorry to 陈老师.. Hope she wouldnt and most prob she wouldnt read this... Such an embarrassment as a higher chinese student haa...

Oh to jusify my title for today... i wiped and cleaned... let me count... 15 doors and 2 metal gates (front and back gate, back gate is full of bird shit)! damn shag la... it took me more than 2 hours... frankly i'm more tired cleaning the doors den going to gym(has been trying to train and soup up a bit for IPPT)...

Living in a big house is really no luxury, esp if u do not have a maid at home... Many a times my friends come to my house and exclaimed wad a big house u live in... so good life ar... frankli its not so good as it seems... 3 storey terrace is not as big as some bungalows, but den the upkeeping can kill...

When i was younger(abt sec3) i was so excited that my dad is comtemplating buying a terrace... some of my cousins are also moving in the same direction... i was thinking wah seh, it will look so good man... now i think otherwise... the house is a drain on one's financial. every month's payment is already bigger than many ppl's money take home pay. u can imagine. My parents slog every day to make ends meet. every year they work at least 355 days... less than 10 days of off day... what a life... although i try to broach the subject of downsizing so that they can live a more comfortable and relaxed life( go on holidays... have been years since they last left singapore for a proper holi), since there are only 5 ppl in the family and we do not need such a big house... esp when most of the time the house is left empty when every one goes out... but each time i try to bring up the subject, my dad shoot it down like some super marksman... he can go be a sniper if he sign on..... (cash savings from not having to pay HDB on e season parking of 2 vehichles? the future financial benefits of owning a freehold property? the hassle of having to shift house? or just pride?)

seriousli i hold to be able to earn more money sooner so that maybe i can help to employ a maid at home, and also have enough money to convince them that they do not have to work so hard anymore...

Not sure how we appear in the eye of our relatives.. everyone noes that my parents are slogging one of the hardest... and not appearing at their stall to help out during their busiest period doesnt help... i really has no interest in selling incense paper, joss sticks or those materials used for praying... i do not like to just sit at e stall and wait for ppl to come buy the stuffs... too boring for me... another reason is that i feel that it makes more economical sense for me to bring in money by working in another company then to be employed by my own parents and taking from the money they earn... at least i try my best to make myself as self sufficient as possible...

talking abt part time work... hopefully coming june and july will two fruitful months! juz received a possible tuition assignment for sec 4 accounts once a week... tues wed and thurs will be my special sem! taking up electricity for modern society and also Professional Attachment Training( hope to be able to do my intern in Shang Hai!) and i also hope to land another job for one of the bank for every tues to sat 9pm to 1am... seriously this job will fit into my schedule so well... i can work at night and study in the day and also give tuition.. the rest of the day i can hv my own time also! that's the best case senario i'm hoping for haha... i cant laid back and do nothing.. that's juz so not me! i will go crazy...

i realli wanna make good use of all the time.. but hopefully it will not be too draining.. life is short.. esp when i noe and seriously feel that i'm not one who will have a long life.. i muz make good e time i have while i'm healthy... maybe i'm juz pessimistic or paronia( however u spell it) but i really got a sixth sense that i'm may get some scary disease.. i have zoom down to 3... Alzeimer, Parkinson, or Renal failure...

my reasoning:

1) Alzemier- i have a seriously bad memory.. u can ask my friend who has witnessed or observed it... sheng(LEON), sheng an and maybe shan jing... i can forget abt something that i asked before juz after a short while... there are many other instances....

2) Parkinson disease- Nerve system disease, one of the symptons is shaky hands or uncontrollable muscle.. how difficult is it to snap a photo? had this experience with KX and co outside liquid kitchen and trying to take a picture of everyone... i tried for 5 or 6 times and each time the picture turn out blurry... my friends tot some prob with e cam... another friend tried to take another pic and it turns out well... seriously i got shaky hands..

3) Renal disease- my grandma has it... and i think it runs in the family... doesnt help when i can feel my back kidney area to have some tingling feeling many a times....

haha, so that sums it all.. its a long long blog... looking forward to thurs outing at vivo to check out singapore sales, pirates of the carribean, and perhaps to sing KBOX! not forgetting i need to help my father in the morning to deliver sacks of rice and daily neccessities to various homes in singapore...( who says i'm not helping) deliberately kept the morning free for it.... doing good deals realli help.. good karma do exist... will talk more abt it next time! haa time to shower after sweating it out while wiping the numerous doors!

take care all my friends...
