Back!

I had missed out a lot of updating since the last decent updates on February, due to the intensity of work and school projects.

I was busy with things such as studies, school projects, exams revision, work, friends and personal stuffs.

School load was pretty intensive as i was doing frequent revision, plus meet-ups with school mates for projects are taking up all the man-hours. As much as i could remember, friday, after school was cool. On the average of 3 weeks, i ended up going out with clarence and mandy after nite class and got a "fatigue hangover". That was still in februrary as i was in the frictional unemployment scenario. I was looking for job as to do something with economist, but no such job was on offer even though it was a very simple part time job with MTI.


The cool car! haha. Anyway, the owner changed the car plate, which is why i never bother to mask it.

My ex-colleague from MHA informed me of the job I was in the line previously, and due to the poor economy performances at that time, i was kind of forced to pick up the job as a desktop engineer. Time really fly very fast and it was in mid-march already.

That was my last entry in my blog but couldn't really count on anything as there wasn't any decent news in it. Anyway, a lot of events went on and i think that's what my life was so interesting.

Work started then, getting new colleagues and i was to roam around, so the people that i faced are pretty a lot. Chinese, Japanese, Europeans and a lot to talk about. It's interesting to make friends from different nationalities and that's when and where i can improve on my HR skills.

Apart from all these, a lot of meet-up sessions with friends all around singapore; from west to east, north to south for birthdays, lunches. So basically, in the month of march, it's just about it and some personal stuffs here and there.


The invitation that i never go. 21st bdae =x


Happy 21st birthday! 7 years already! pretty fast uh.


Another 21st bdae celebration. Felin, your decent-looking photo is so difficult to find!

In between, for some reason, i saw a lot of long-lost friends.

Come in the month of april, where it is the exams preparation month, so needless to say, i stayed at home after work to mug. Spending only a few hours to sleep each day and worrying for the papers. I even extended a table in my room to cope with the ever-increasing surface area i need to use to sort out the papers.


Creating space


That's the good thing with wireless keyboard and mouse =)


One of the battlefields mind-mappings

Coffees, schools, tonnes of papers, refillable ink are my weapons throughout these period, not forgetting my school mates, computers. Kudos to them! haha

One of the craziest thing i did was to went out in the middle of the nite with sun tian just 1.5 days before my paper to clarke quay and watch soccer, only to end up watching at his home and got commented "crazy" by my friend! haha..

Exams were good except for one paper which i believe at best will scrap through and I feared for the worst; that I may fail this paper. God bless me. I can't afford to fail.

Leave out the expected-and-usual details of late nite and early morning of revision and work respectively.

Sad thing was for a part-time students, I don't have the luxury time of taking a "break" after my exams and i went back to work after my exams immediately.

Met up with kim and joshua on saturday for chit-chat and gossipping (of one person! =))


Come to think of it, there isn't anything exciting to talk about, isn't it? I thought i have a lot of crazy plans. but, yawn!!!! To think that i was anticipating for my post-exams activities.

I realised that i did not upload a photo showing part of my room which was invaded by someone.

An egg was threw into my room.



Damn irritating. Damn Evil. Happened on the 3rd day of CNY at around 3+ am. Yes, it was in the morning!

Alright. Some nice pictures ahead. Ehh, i dun mean to sound very sissy, but i thought the pictures were really beautiful and rich in colors.


















































But it seemed like the biscuits are too sweet. Diabetes personnel be aware!

Updates

It's been some time that i have some updates over my life.. for my own purposes.

Taken a photo of my desktop from a digital camera which has better details than my camera phone. So here it goes:



only at a cost of $1789!

Being a jobless personnel, time was rather pretty hard to go by at times. I don't get use to being so free. But being on a positive side, I have the luxury time of doing self-revision from studies. I had pretty good savings habit when i was working so for time like this when i have no income, it served me well for a minor transition.

Had my 1st academic test after 3 years plus after missing out from school due to 2 years of my National Service commitment and 1 year of work. It's pretty much of a warm-up than any other thing else. I laughed at myself for being paranoid for a 15 question multiple-choice paper when the whole test was done.

Went for a jog on tuesday nite with yj and my knee cap flared up at the start of 2nd round again. I had been running 3 times in a week and i guess i need to cut down my frequency. I thought of participating in Standard-Chartered Marathon this year but i fear that i may not be able to do that in order to protect my knee caps. That's a disappointment consider that i prepared myself in all aspects plus the fact that i never participated before. But then i still got a year for myself, so hopefully there's a change and chance by then. All i know is that, i will not be jogging for this week till my knee cap recovered well.

Had been discussing about my annual overseas trip this year and the group had last year planned to go a little bit further this year, eg: australia. But the economy is not doing such a good favour, so we are planning to go to countries in South-East Asia. We had targetted countries such as Vietnam, The Philipines and Indonesia. Unfortunately, Thailand and Malaysia are out of scope.

There's a little bit of problem for me for overseas trip as I had always been objected strongly by my mother. This year will be more of a headache as I am currently jobless at the moment despite a strong level of savings. Well, depending on the countries i visit, maybe i could have the chance to pesuade my mother in allowing me to travel. Sigh, there's for someone who is 25 years of age.

Been cooping up at home for the past 2 weeks or so, except for going to SIM for lecture. Lined up programme for tonight and weekend. Hope i can be a little bit relax. I think i have signs of getting over-exertive on my school work despite there's really nothing much to do.

Alright, that's it for some update.

CNY

Happy Chinese New Year to you all (and to whoever is reading this post)

Did nothing much on the those period as I was on leave (minus the unhappiness incident over at work).

Actually it's a hindrance and distraction to study at home. My mother likes to do this and that of the household works. Being already in an slightly below-average health state, I have no choice but to help her out with all these. I tell you. It's really very "long-winded" duties. I can get busy from morning like 7+ am until all the way until 3+ pm. I can name you all those standard duties which may sound less, but it just has so many things to do. Come finally at 3+ am, i tried sitting down at start my work.. with only 1.5 hours gone, I found myself helping out my mother for dinner.

-.-"

I tell you. I have no mood to study for the whole my leave period even though I told my friends that i was studying (coz that's what i INTENDED to do). So i knocked out pretty early throughout the whole weeks.

Went back to work though for a day for "handover" i think it's more of like a formality because I learnt those scopes for 4 months. But then, it's their fault.. not mine.

Eve of CNY, reunion dinner as usual. 1st day of CNY, started my duty as a son to 守.睡 Sorry for the non-chinese, i just can't translate it out.

Then went to relatives' house for house-visiting. And that's when I drove a Ford........... lorry. Haha, it's more difficult than car ok? With the slightly poor state of its mechanism.

2nd day of CNY. we just stayed at house, etc i think so.

3rd day, went driving from west to east and back to west. Wow.. Praise me! hahaha..

4th day, went back for work

5th day, returned the property of my previous employer and kiss goodbye to them.

Actually, i am not having a good mood to blog. Just plain lazy, i should say.

That's all... ba....
