I logged in to BBDC website hoping to be able to change my Final theory date to an earlier one. Because its very very overdue. I should have completed it eons ago, but because of work I haven't done so. My original date was in sept, but just now I managed to bring it forward to Aug, about 1 month earlier! I'm going for the evaluation tomorrow. Hopefully I can pass, or I should say, I must pass it tomorrow. Otherwise the test date will be void. This something irritating about enrolling in a school. I'm like so so happy now. Because this means that my time line won't be that pack now. I have to complete everything by december otherwise I will need to extend my membership with the school. Pray hard that I can go through this in one shot, afterall its all theory, either I'm right or wrong. Very straight forward, so the chances of passing should be under control.
I've also gotten my school time table today. Well... they only allocated 2 modules for me. -.- That means that I need to bid for 2 more... So troublesome. Anyway, the 2 modules that I got. One has lessons at 8.30 on a monday morning... another has lesson until 6.45 on tuesday evening. Kind of extreme... I dun want to wake up so early on a monday morning, and I don't want to go home so late, not only for tuesday, but everyday. I was hoping that I can make it home for dinner everyday. One thing is that the expenses for eating out is high, especially in town area. Another thing is that I don't like to stay in school until so late. The night is for me to relax, watch TV, surf net... Its my personal time. Oh well, since it was allocated, I guess I will just have to bear with it for this first sem.
Thats all for today... bye~!

Anyway, since its all over I wouldn't want to say too much already. Overall, its still a good experience lar.
With that, there is still a final event before everything is more or less settled. Thats the bondue camp I'm going next week. That is my last major and troublesome event before school starts... Haha... hope it will be fun and I get into a good team too, just like FTB :)
Thats about all for now :) Bye~

Tomorrow morning I'm finally going for my first driving practical lesson. It was really a long break since I'm first eligible to start lesson. After my Basic theory, I went working and until now I haven't got time to start my lesson. My PDL is expiring very soon so I had to get it renewed already... I'm hoping that I can finish everything before my membership for school expires in Dec this year. Otherwise it would be another sum of money to get it renewed. Kind of excited. Haha... I'm finally able to drive. I guess the feeling would be quite nice.
Alright, thats about all for today. See ya~

I think it would be an interesting read. Been a while since I last read a book. A small quote from the back of the book. ' I returned home to discover that one of my goldfish was very unwell. When my partner came home, he just wanted to flush the poorly goldfish down the lavatory. Having discovered that our views on the sanctity of life are so far apart. Should I leave him? '
Interesting right? Haha... wait till I finish the book and then write a short review for you guys :) For those who are interested, you can go buy the book or borrow it from the library. When I last check there are still like 5 to 6 copies available in other libraries. :)

Other than that I also watched Red Cliff the past Sunday. Thats another nice movie. Their army formations reminds me of our NDP. :S Haha...
Today is a break from 2 consecutive days of StarringSMU. It was very tiring... On tuesday we had to go around collecting photos of people for the Pledges for the Nation. Its really hard work. I think its even harder than flag day. Cause for flag day, you hold the can and people will know what you are doing. But for this, we had to explain to them what it is about and so many people are just camera shy. Their faces won't be splashed all over singapore. Just a tiny tiny photo in a col large of 30,000. I think if I were the one being approached, yes at first I would reject them, but after learning what it is about I think I won't mind having my photo taken.
The next day we had to learn some drum rhythm and dance moves. Haha.. that was the most silly and funny part. It was then that I realised what I big wooden block I am and I got some serious psycomotor problems... I totally cannot coordinate my hands and legs and they are so stiff and inflexible. I look so silly when I am dancing... Haha.... I wonder how I am going for the samba walk :S Total embarrassment... haha...
Well, so after 2 days of activity I can finally have my rest until next week for the car wash.
K lar, thats about all for now :) See ya~

Went for the team building session for community service today. Had quite some fun. It has been a while since I had so much walking around. Haha... My legs are now aching. Although our group wasn't the most enthu around, we still managed to smoke through alot of stations and completed quite a respectable amount of station in the limited time slot. :) Hope for the coming 8 days we can have more fun together :)
Alright think thats about all for today. Won't be writing long entries like while I'm still working. Haha... Now no more time in the office to slack around. I hope they are doing fine back at my previous office. Praying hard that I do not leave too much errors behind otherwise next time also no face to go back and visit them :) Also don't want to spoil my good reputation :P OKay, so I shall blog again... See ya~

Anyway, its still good news for you people that you have a easier time reading :)
Oh.. just an interesting note, I got a little surprise when I saw the archive list. Woho, I've been blogging for 4 years already :D I wonder how long more it will go :)
Alright, I finally decided to blog during office hours. Actually I had written a entry before, but I deleted it away due to the lack of content. But I decided to try again this again because I think that I could write better entries than I do at home. When I'm at home, I don't really feel like sitting long hours in front of the computer to type out entries that don't seem as long. In the office, I'm spending even longer time in front of the computer, so I guess I have more time to think and edit my entry. Its not that I'm slacking during work, but there aren't much I can do without any input. I'm more like a human scanner. I receive pieces of contracts which requires me to seek out the data and compile a report. So after 3 months of working here, I think I'm customized to handle such task. All the bugs and errors in the earlier time are gone, okay not gone cos I still make mistake, lesser. Last time due to the slow processing, when the input comes, I can't output as fast, so work at the input piles up. But now, my output is many times faster than the input, so that leaves me with lots of time to do other stuffs. Like day dreaming... and of course blogging. I guess other than blogging for eh.. blogging... blogging also helps you look busy when you are furiously typing on the keyboard. The tapping and clicking sound of the keys adds to the effect.
I guess you can really see the difference just by the amount of text there already are just on this topic alone, as compared to what I usually type at home. So lets start~
--------------------------
After weeks of consideration, I've decided to give up one of my tuition student. I really have no interest in teaching him anymore. He likes to ask very specific questions that is so hard to answer. I am not a encyclopedia, how am I going to remember how many Joules of energy a body has or the circumference of the earth, or the height of mount everest. OKay, maybe I should admit that I am not very knowledgeable, so I guess also that it is better for him to get another teacher. I can't try to smoke myself out every lesson. But by doing so I am cutting off a good source of income. Teaching him is very easy. You don't have to worry about any exams because he studies at a international school and the school haven't even start to teach science yet. So there is really no pressure. Just go there feed him with information and then leave. If I really don't care if he learnt anything every lesson, I can still carry on to 'teach' and continue this income. But I feel that since I am not up to standard to teach him, then I guess it would be best that I leave and let someone better take over. So thats another problem off my mind. This has been bothering me for weeks.
Meanwhile, I will still continue to teach my other pupil. Although this pupil is not as clever, but somehow I still feel motivated to teach him. Perhaps its because he dosen't ask so much irritating questions. Talking about my other tuition kid, he's also another headache. He takes a very long time to get a concept. Really worry about him. Hope he can do well for his CA2, otherwise I also dun have face to continue teaching him.
---------------------------
I am recently introduced to this concept that actually, the reason to go green is not because the earth is dying, its actually us, humans that are dying. The earth will never die, when the conditions on earth become uninhabitable, human will all die off, and earth will regenerate itself. millions of years after human dies, the air will become fresh, water will become clean and life thrives again. So earth never dies, what we are afraid of is us dying. So I'm thinking, would it be better if the campaign to go green is targeted at saving ourselves then saving earth. We can maybe show how people are suffering due to the unnatural climate change, how the crops fail, how people are starving, how food prices are increasing. I think that are many more examples of the actual sufferings that we humans face . So yar, lets try to be more environmentally friendly, not for the earth. But for ourselves. Although having said all these, I know I'm still not very friendly to earth. But I can say that I am the friendliest in my family. Haha... Well.. In some instances where it is convenient, I did my part to help :)
------------------------------
Yay... its about time to knock off, well another hour to be exact. But still feel very happy. Haven't been doing much after lunch. Cleared most of my work before lunch, and no new work after it. So been wasting my time away blogging here. K lar, I think I shall end the entry for today here le. Gonna send it to my mail so that I can copy and past it at home :) Of if you haven't know, I'm actually typing this in a text document first before I upload it at home. Can't expect me to log on to blogger and typing away in the office right.. haha... Alright then see you.
Today feels kind of weird, I supposed it due to the morning's rush that screwed up my mood. My minds feels kind of giddy and heavy, like its under alcohol influence, but minus the high and happy feeling.
I seemed to have the feeling that I've done alot of work today, which I believe is partly true. The whole of this morning I didn't have any time to day dream. Its one of the busiest morning I had in recent weeks. I hate it when it comes to the end of the month. The trade volume is the highest among the 4 weeks. But luckily due to my relatively superior processing power as compared to when I first came in, I still managed to clear the work way before the deadline. However, that dosen't mean that I am having a easy time. Yes, things are done faster, the effort used is no lesser than before. Anyway, its another 4 more weeks to go, excluding this week and I will finally end my contract. And this time round, it will really be the end, no more extension. The time now is 4.18pm, about 1 hour more before I can go off. Boss is having a discussion with another colleague, so that leaves me with less supervision to do my own stuffs. Even though I think my boss won't really mind me doing so, but I think its still no so nice to do it blatently when he is around. So I still try to act busy when he is around. Haha... Oh one interesting thing to share. Me, my boss and another colleague share this one big cubicle, and we are seated back facing each other. We totally cannot see each other while we are working on the computer. In order to effectively spy on my boss to see if he is looking in my direction. I have tilted my monitor to an angle such that one shiny part of the monitor is actually reflecting what my boss is doing behind. Haha... As the chair he sits on is squeaky, any major movement of his will come with a sound alert. This way I just need to glance at the side of my monitor to effectively keep track of whether my boss is looking at me. Haha...I know this is totally uncalled for, but its always good to know who is looking at you behind your back, furthermore, he's still my boss no matter how nice he is. :P
Alright I really love blogging here, especially when boss is away, I can just continue to type endless lines of text onto the screen and time just pass as fast as the words appear on the screen. It really helps me to kill time.
Oh, on the topic of killing time. I've just realized that I really need alot of free boring time for me to generate ideas. Litbud was conceived during a boring lesson in school. And now, recently I came up with another character :D Its done on a boring afternoon in office. This character will make its debute on Drawing Day! Oh, if you haven't heard, there is this event that aims to create one millions drawings in a day. You can log on to www.drawingday.org for more information. Hope you guys can join in the fun and make some drawings on the day. :D
Alright, I think I'll end here for today :) Spend a good 20 minutes on this entry. :P Although not very long, but at least thats 20 mins off the 'boring' time. Haha... See ya~
-----------------------------------After weeks of having so much free time on hand, it is automatically assumed that the time is MINE. So when one day someone decides to take it away from you. You feel kind of reluctant. But the time isn't mine to be taken away in the first place. That is what's happening now. The people upstairs ( literally upstairs, they are on the 16th floor, while I am on the 2nd) are complaining that I take too much time to produce the report. In my point of view, it is not me that is slowing down the process. I have so much time on hand, so it is not that I am slow, its those who are creating the input for me to process. So to be exact, they should blame others not me for the long delay. But me, as just a temporary staff, am lazy to go and argue with them or complain to those creating the input to work faster. Its only another 4 more weeks. I just thicken my skin and bash on... 4 more weeks later, none of this will ever concern me forever. Well, I shouldn't say forever, many things can happen and it could make a big round back to haunt me. So yar, in the meanwhile, I'll just use another source of input for my work. A more unreliable one, but heck care, if they want it fast, they will have to comprimise on the quality :)
Alright, can't blog much today, got things to do. Anyway its about time to go home. No tuition for tonight, so can take a good rest :) See ya~

This the the crystal I've been growing for about 2 months :D Nice right? It is made from epsom salt. ie. Magnesium sulpate. You can get the salt from the pharmacy. I've long been fascinated by crystals. During secondary school I took part in the crystal growing competition. At that time I lost very badly, the largest crystal that I grew was smaller than a M&M. So now I finally get the technique right :D
So enjoy the pictures~ :D Bye~

Although I have been complaining about work, saying how much I dread going to work, I still extended my contract. :S I guess, the lure of money and the dread of boredom has a greater hold of my mind then my laziness. So, thats means another 6 more weeks of waking up at 6.30am, thinking that I should never had extended the contract. Another 6 weeks of taking the long ride to office. Another six more weekly reports. Another 24 nights of giving tuition with a half dead mind. 6 more weeks. I hope I can survive.
Anyway. I just watched the charity show for the earthquake. Looking at all the footage and the stories, I really felt very sad for them. I was especially touched about this story. Its about the mother shielding her baby from the rubble during the earthquake. The mother died, but the baby survived because the mother's body had cushioned the impact. What really made me felt the sadness was that she typed a message on her handphone and left it with the baby. The message says that, If the baby survives, she wants him/her to know that she loves him/her. I was almost brought to tears when the last line of the message was shown on the screen. I could imagine the scene where during the earthquake. Everything is shaking violently, the mother is down there, over the baby trying to protect it. She knows that she might not survive the event. All she could do was to hope for the survival of the baby. And in that kind circumstances, she still took out her phone to type a very last message. There is no way a baby could read the message, so that action would quite possibly be meaningless. But she still did it, and I guess she probably felt that that is the only thing that she could leave behind for her child, a life and a declaration of love. When the child grow up, s/he would still feel the love of the mother even though she is not longer living.
So I sincerely hope all the best to the victims of the earthquake.
Alright, its almost 11 already. Got to catch some sleep. Its another long day tomorrow. Argh... why did I prolong my suffering?!

Had a early celebration and cake cutting on saturday with my relatives, so there arn't any celebration today. In fact, it was a normal working day for me with the day ending late with tuition. But I would like to thank all who wished me a happy birthday :) Thanks!
Well... I'm getting old... 21 yrs old already!!! Looking back, I've come a long way since my very first day 21 years ago when I first came to this world. Many things has happened. But still there are many more yet to happen.
HAha... kinda stuck here... Don't know how to continue writing. Oh well... thats all lar. Life goes on. :D Perhaps will blog more another time. Another working day tomorrow, so have to get some rest :) See ya~
Monday, May 19, 2008
Oh, I celebrated my birthday with my relatives on saturday. Had a BBQ at my home. Would want to thank my parents for organising it. A lot of effort was put in by them to prepare the whole BBQ. :D
Thats about all for tonight. Start of another working week tomorrow. To all those who are also working. The weekend is one day nearer :D Just bear with it! See ya~
Sunday, May 11, 2008
Talking about shopping... Had wanted to go shopping for a long time already... But everytime when the weekends come... I just feel lazy to go out. After all the work during the weekday.. I just want to stay at home... do nothing... and then pass the day....
Oh... by the way... I'm thinking of blogging in better english... Haha... cos I realised that my english deteriorated by alot. My grammer is in a total mess... So yar... From the next paragraph onwards... I shall use lesser of 'So yar' '....' and 'haha'.... OKie~ So lets start.
I guess it would be easier for the reader to read too if I write in proper english. Alright, my english is still broken, but at least I tried. :)
Start of another week tomorrow. I've been kind of counting down to the end of my contract. I don't know if it is the job that I'm tired of or the working life. Work wise, I have to admit that it is quite tough because the work requires me to go face to face with my shortcomings. I have a hard time controlling myself to not make any mistakes. It is very tiring and stressful to live under this kind of pressure. I am very lucky to have a boss that is understanding. If not for him I would have been fired long ago.
The coming week would be the first week of my extended contract. 3 more weeks to go after that. I am still considering whether to accept another extension if offered. I really want to stop working, but I can't bear to part with the money. I have many things that I want to buy so its hard to decide whether to give it up or not.
Well, perhaps its still early for me to worry. I might not even be offered another extension. Haha.
Lets talk about other things. Recent excitement about the EPL final few matches had got me interested :D So I decided to join in the fun and place some bets :P I don't watch soccer, its boring, so the only way for me to get some trill from the game would be through soccer betting. But I don't bet much too, just enough to make me interested and join in the excitement :) I placed some bets on some unpopular results. I have this feeling that these kind of big matches, the results always surprises people. So I chose not to follow the crowd and bet on the popular choices. Although the chance of winning may be lower, but its only a small amount. I just take it as paying for some entertainment :) Hope to see some good results tomorrow :D
Okay. Think thats all for today. Have a nice week ahead :D
Sunday, May 04, 2008
Last week was great... having a may day holiday really shorten the week. Haha... But that also means I got lesser time to clear my work. Running a little behind time now. Tmr will be a busy day trying to clear the stuffs. I've also got my contract extended :D Haha... so will be able to continue working for another month. That will bring me to the first week of june le... time passes very fast. If things goes well... I might be offered another extension after june... but I am still considering whether to take it or not cos it will be in July when the contract ends... very close to the start of school le. So yar... might want to relax and do some things that I always wanted to do.
K lar... nothing much to blog about... feeling abit tired... but somehow can't get to sleep... Gonna have a hard time sleeping later cos I took a afternoon nap. It always keeps me awake pass midnight... haha... But okay lar.. coming week I got 2 lesser tuition lessons :) Having a break when the kid finished his exams. :D So should be quite a relaxing week :D
Sunday, April 27, 2008
Duno is it because of the discomfort... I feel very tired. Especially on friday. By friday afternoon.. I was really not in the mood to do anymore work. My mind feels like of pressured and I needed rest. Hope I can recover my energy after this weekend. We shall see about the tomorrow :)
Went out on saturday with the old mec gang to watch the forbidden kingdom. Finally can join their ORD gang le. Haha.. cos last time everytime we meet I'm the only one still stuck in the army. The largest gap between me and the earliest of them to ord is more than 1 year. HAha... Still remember the last time when we meet, we were playing lan games and I had to leave early cos I needed to book in that night.
Well... my review about the forbidden kingdom. The storyline is kind of crappy. I think its because although it look quite serious in the trailer, it actually quite a comedy. Haha... Its some sort of western fantasy idea of chinese kung fu. But I find the fighting scenes really nice. And there is no lack of it throughout the movie. So yar... the storyline aside. Its quite a fun movie to watch... for the comical parts and the fighting scenes.
Tomorrow have to start another week of work. Haha... and Pay day!!!!! Woho~ Well the rest of the company already received their pay check. But cos I'm a temp worker... my pay day is at the end of the month. After weeks of hard work I finally see my reward liao... haha... And I think my boss is going to extend my contract further :) But that is still not confirmed lar. Haha... have to wait till the day of my contract renewal before I can confirm that he will renew my contract.
But I have reasons to be optimistic about it lar. Cos the other day another colleague was asking him about my employment. Then he replied that he wanted me to work perm for him. But too bad I need to further my studies. HAha... so with that I was hoping that he will keep hiring me until my school starts :D
Duno why although work is not hard... but I always dread going back to work. Maybe because it will take away my personal time ba. K lar... thats all for today... bye~
Sunday, April 20, 2008
Well... I was first told they would extend my contract for another one month only then I had to leave liao. But recently.. they said they might extend it for another few months. :D Haha... So happy. Cos if they do not extend it anymore... it means that I have to job hunt again. Other than the inconvenience. I might not be able to find another job as nice as this. I really don't mind to continue working there.
I have adapted to working at the place already. It was tough for the first few weeks as there were a lot of things that I do not know. Then I had to spend a lot of effort to go through all the work. But now... I am very comfortable with my job scope. I began to understand the work flow and I no longer had any problems handling it. I even can do the work in a short time and get to slack around when I'm done with it. Colleagues are also nice people... and best of all... my boss is nice. Haha... He could happily make me his god son... haha... So I pray hard that I can continue working there till school starts.
Recently I also start to have more worries about my business.... Its kind of picking up its pace liao. The goods are coming in... and there are alot of things to handle. Its no longer like last time where I could take my time to do things. Things are gaining momentum and I hope this momentum will continue... but... by that... it would also mean that I got more work to do. Haha... Now I'm waiting for the goods to arrive safely in my hand before I take a break and consider the next step to take. Wish me luck :)
My tuition kid is also another headache... Haha... Really duno wad to do with him. Its not that he is stupid leh... he is actually very clever. But that when he does questions. he is very impulsive. He dosen't take time to understand the question before answering it. So he will just anyhow pluck the numbers and randomly use them. Haiz... coming lessons I'm not going to joke with him anymore. He better get good grades for this coming exams....
I can't wait to start school. Can't wait to go back to the time where I only need to worry about exams. To the time where I have my free time to do whatever I want. My working life now isn't hard. But there arn't many personal time left for me. Everyday I wake up... I go to my office... and get stuck there for the rest of the day. Then after work.. I eat my dinner and have a few minutes of personal time to walk around lot 1... after which I need to go give tuition... and by the time everything ends and I reach home. I'm already tired and need to sleep le..... So yar... I wan to start school soon....
K lar... thats about all for now... bye bye~
