2 More Days...

Everyday at work, the boss will ask me to do things that are out of my project scope. Even out of my education scope. I shall briefly explain later. I woke up late in the morning and i had to rush everything. Well, not my first time so it was a rather 'calm' rush. I took everything and got everything done correctly. I arrived at the office on time. Man... What a close shave. I don't know what will happen if i arrive late to work one day. But i sure do not want to know it soon. So as usual, i had to read up and test the new software the company is implementing. The software had alot of problems. Even though it is a Microsoft product, it is still alot of unsolved problems. As an Administrator, i cannot do alot of things. There are alot of things that is said on the website which my partner and i tried and could never get it work. So i heck care and my partner also kind of heck care about it. We even had to sit through an 1 hr web broadcast lesson on how to use the useless software!! It is so boring, feels like im in the lecture theatre listening to the lecturer. Well... After lunch was better... Boss came up to me and told us to stop work on the software. He told us about the new table plan and ask us to deploy it at that momment. We had to squeeze in with four of the permanent staff. Boss say, so all six of us had nothing to say. Now we have to just accept our fate. It is a very tight squeeze... I even had to test two old computers. I guess the computers were as old as me. It was really a headache to test the computers as i had no experience in old computers. Do i look like i operate on old computers?? So i just carried those heavy PCs, set tem up and tested them. In the end, the newest of the old PCs are all spoilt. What a waste of time... Ended work soon after and got home to sleep as i was too tired.

Another year will be over soon after. A new year will step into our lives soon. Somethings we should plan is what will we accomplish next year? There are alot on my mind going now. One of them is completing my tertiary education and get my Diploma. After that, i will shave my head and serve the nation. During that time, i may miss out on a birthday or two, but i promise them... I will get them a big gift each to compensate my absence. A few months down the road and i will get my key to freedom. I do not know how big that event will be but i know it will be the biggest event i will ever hold in my life. After that, i will celebrate a festival that is celebrated not long ago. Hope i can have it like this year. Hope that every year would be like this year. And a few days more, it will be another year. Well... From what i summarise next year. I forsee that its a good year. Always a good year when you have just finished one. Now for a New Year's wish... I wish that my friends and family would be happy and healthy, everyone not to have financial problems and lastly... A year without disasters or mass deaths.

Happy New Year...

The Aftermath

Today was so damn tired. I slept less than six hours. The mind was a total blank when i woke up. Than something hit me really hard. Something non-materialistic. I remembered that today is staff meeting day. I must be 15mins earlier than usual!! ARGHZ!!! So everything was rushed. Clothing, just grab and go. When i was quite near the bus terminal, the bus i was suppose to take left. Right infront of my eyes, it left. I felt that the bus gave me a smirk before leaving. MAN!!! IM GOING TO BE LATE!!! So i hailed a cab and went down to office as fast as possible. To my surprise, i arrive earlier than most of the employees there. Wasted my six bucks. So i attended the meeting and went on with the day. Near the end of the day, with 10mins left to end work time... Boss came over and asked me to do a table plan for the company. He is buying three tables and wants me to adjust the seating plan. Why can't the bos just le me go home?? Ask me do the floor plan... Do i look like an interior design student?? Im an IT student for god's sake... Last week ask me repair lights, this wk ask me do floor plan. Next wk?? I cannot imagine what the Boss will ask me to do next. Clean the company windows?? Fix kettle?? Polish his shoes?? ARGHZ!!!!! Oh, and i started doing something educational. Im beginning to learn a new software.

It was a very sadening Christmas this year. Last week i just told about the King who killed all the babies as he is afraid that the baby would take over him. The slaughter of the innocents... This year the slaughter of the innocents came through. It came, it killed all of them and it left silently. The earthquake that caused so much death and so many missing in South East Asia left everyone shocked. What an enormous earthquake and it killed so many people. Furthermore, we had just celebrated Christmas. Is that a sign or is it just another normal natural disaster? I would not say much... I feel that the lives taken by natural disasters are really sad. Normal people like you and me are taken the right to live in just a few seconds. I suggest that we give thanks to our fortunate lives and say a prayer for the victims, both direct and indirect, that have suffered in the quake.

Bless the dead...

Eve of Christmas Eve

The Eve of Christmas Eve... Some people find it special, some people just take it as another day. For me, its just another day at work. I went to work with a feeling that i should not work tomorrow. It made me feel that Christmas comes earlier than it should. Maybe it is just me... At work, i had to do the most boring office job; Data Entry. I had to sit there for four hours to type data into the computer. Well... Somebody is going to do it. But why me... Why must it be poor me... Since Boss said must be me do, than i had to do it. At some point i almost fell asleep. When all the data entry had been done, my mind is totally exhausted. After that, the lights went out. Not all of them, but three lamps. Boss called me to take the ladder and check on the lights. WHAT?!?! DO I LOOK LIKE A STUDENT FROM EEE??? Since it is orders from the Boss, what can you say?? So i went up and did the lights. After some twitching and stuff, the lights worked again. Boss wife said i have magical fingers. Im like... Huh... Ended work at the same time. So my partner and i went to take the only bus out of the place. We waited for like 15mins. No bus came. Out of nowhere, came this mini-bus. A private mini-bus. The bus stopped infront of us and asked if we wanted a lift. A trip to the train station will cost us 50 cents. A quick trip to the train station at only 50 cents. I don't mind!! We took the claustrophobic bus and squeezed in. I wonder... Each trip to the train station, the driver will earn $6. I wonder how many trips can he make in a day. 10 trips a day would earn him $60. No matter how you see it, it is still quite profitable. After arriving at the train station, i crossed the overhead bridge and took a bus home.

Every Christmas, there would be a Christmas story. Every year the Christmas story would be different. This year, the one i read about was the birth of Jesus Christ that made Christmas... Well, Christmas. It is recorded that when the birth of Jesus, came 3 wise men or wise kings. They knew that a newborn king will lead humankind to freedom. They travelled long and far, days and nights. When they arrived, they each brought gifts to give to the new lord. But in the area where Jesus was born, a greedy king rule over the lands. He heard about the three wise mens coming and also their gifts for a new king. So he invited them over before they met Jesus. He thought that this new 'king' would fight for power over the land and take over him. So he told them to lead him to the new 'king' if they ever find them. But after three days, they never returned. The King was angry and frustrated. So he set out his army to the city and kill every newborn or few days old babies. Luckily, Jesus was informed by an angel. They fled before the troops came to slaughter everyone. This is the day where we call it the 'Slaughter of the Innocents'. An extremely sad day just a few days later of the Lord's arrival.

Merry Christmas Eve...

1 day to Eve, 2 days to Christmas

The year has ended and its the time to celebrate and enjoy. A time of giving and a time of sharing. This is the Christmas spirit. For the past 19 Christmases, i am having holidays so it did felt like Christmas. But now... I am working and the feeling is not there. I even had to ask for a half day during eve. I guess boss is the kind that fully untilise the 5-day week. Now he kept giving those jobs where most of the staff hate to do. Im like the odd job worker, not an intern there. It is damn funny... The company will be having Christmas lunch in the office. The best part about this is... It is not a buffer, it is not a a-la-carte dinner. It is packed lunch. Packed lunch from a caterer... I heard it and im like totally stunned. What the hell... What kind of Christmas lunch is that?? Just eating lunch together is the celebretion?? Maybe the worse has yet to come...

The Christmas spirit... It is the topic on today's radio show. They feel that Singaporeans have lost the spirit and change the meaning totally. They said that the Christmas spirit is about shopping and going Orchard to spend money. I think it is not the truth. Those that are shopping are mostly buying gifts for friends and family. It is no wonder that the city area is extremely packed. Some times the buying of gifts are for the less fortunate. I suppose giving them is the greatest example of showing the true Christmas spirit.

Merry Christmas everyone...

Daytime in Davidson Business Systems

Just finished lunch with a few more minutes to spare, so i decided to make a secret entry in my blog during office hours. Till date, i have not learnt anything useful for the future. All i know is i have to wear formal to work and get ready to do manual work for the boss. 'Move this to here' or 'Do this by (insert time)'. These are the sentences i get everyday. Well... I guess they must be wanting me to learn something from all the jobs they give me. Anyway, the boss sometimes is friendly. You can say he has split personality. But i guess i like the strict one better... As the friendly boss is bit...... Eh... Too friendly i guess...

One Week has passed

One week has passed and i have only 15 weeks more to endure. Today was really a boring day. Boss was around most of the time, so i had to do things a little more productive. Well, i must say i put a very nice show today. He gave me the most boring job of all. I had to amend the alignments and header of 50 plus forms. All on word document. I'm like staring at the screen for more than three hours non-stop. Man, I was so afraid that it might kill my eyes!! Well, my seat faced one of office's windows. Once awhile i took some time off and stared at far away objects. What made it worse was my window is actually facing the Singtel building that is located just next to it!! It made me think of school and my friends... What a saddening momment for me... I also took physical breaks in between. Go toilet more often, drank more water and refill more often. Today is even worse... My partner was given a outdoor task! Man, he left the office at 2 plus. He was out sending corporate gifts to other clients of the company. I envy him. Able to leave the hell hole and go out enjoy the scenery. How i wished it was me who was outside giving the gifts. But as soon as evening approaches... I wasted time by going to the toilet slowly, took my cup and wash it in the pantry slowly. When it was time to leave, i pack my stuff, grab my bags and leave the hell hole totally. I met up with my ex-VP. I was really tired but how can i miss a dinner with her. So i went on and met her for dinner. We ordered a couple meal. Haha... In the end, it was like me eatin the couple meal and her eating the side dishes... After that, she got herself dessert by eating frozen yoghurt. We walked about while she slowly finishes her dessert. I can see that she is enjoying it with glee as she gobble down so fast that it freezes her mouth. I think its also due to the dessert that made her hiccup while i sent her home. Seeing her arrive safely at her home lift lobby and watching her go up, it gave me peace that she is home without a scratch. I headed my way to the busstop and took the long journey like i use to towards home.

I read an article about our language used by our children of Singapore. Some said that we should have a good grasp of the English language. While others supported aggressively on the importance of the Mother Tongue language. But i am wondering, we are Singaporeans. We are the multi-racial country that other countries admire. It is definitely we have our own culture of language. I totally support that. So if we are jacks of all language, but master at none. I personally feel that it is a good thing. Once awhile we may get mis-communications and mis-pronounciation. But what communication's goal is to get the message across. As long the message gets across to the desired party, it doesn't matter if the language spoken is not understandable by both parties.

Speak your language...

Microsoft Seminar

Today i attended my company's Microsoft(MS) Seminar. Man... It was a big event, i was not one of the important people so i did not know most people. I do not know who is our competitors, who are the MS people and who are the attendees. My duty is to give out free gifts to attendees. But how i know who is who?? In the end, i just gave out to who i see... Also, Boss have printed namecards for me. I took a small stack and went around giving my namecard to people. I do not care who is it but just give the namecards out. In the end, i like gave out almost 10 plus cards. Now what i am afraid is that clients will call and find me. By then, i do not know what to say... Think i will know what to say, what to do by then... I woke up damn early for the event and was totally tire out. We went back to office and continued to work. Boss did not give half day off to us. Man, i woke up at 6am to arrive at the place on time!!! I think that is why he is the boss and i am the intern. After work, i went to find my ex-VP. We had dinner together. We chatted and talked about everything. I sent her home as it was late. We ate near her home but it was dark and i could never let a girl walk home alone at night. So i sent her to her lift and said our goodbyes. I learnt this phrase in a camp when the camp chief closed the camp, 'Goodbyes are such sweet sorrows.' I believe i felt it all over again at that momment...

School: ITP is a good way for students to learn the working life outside. They will experience what is the working life and find that it is a tough world outside.

Me: ITP is a good way to see cheap labour. Companies get interns to do all kind of crap and pay them the minimum sum given by the school. So we find out that the real world treat interns as if they are paid to work but at a cheaper price.

My comments on my ITP till now. Maybe it will change, maybe it will not. But all i know is... Will my ITP change my thoughts and views about the Microsoft company?

Personal views noted...

2nd Day

Day two of torture. Nothing much was done, nothing much was learnt. I learnt that printing labels can be really troublesome. Aligning and test print, i like took 1hr to adjust the stupid thing. After that i still had to trim the labels. I practically spend the whole day using a razor and ruler to cut the labels up. In the morning, my partner and i both took tests. The company had these tests to determine your IT knowledge and stuff. In the end, none of the tests we passed. I expect my partner to do better than me, but he failed all of them too. Guess we are both on the same boat. There are still somemore tests for me to take. It is so dead boring, almost fell asleep doing the tests. But the office had some biscuits so i took a packet and ate while doing the tests. Perk me up a little to finish the tests. The tests are not what you learn in Poly. Those tests ask questions that are posed for the professionals. Maybe the company think too highly of the both of us. We left the company late and i joined my sis for dinner. She accompanied me to buy clothing required for Thursday. I got what i wanted but i ran out of cash and she did not bring her card out. So i had to reserve it and got my Aunt to pick it up tommorrow. Guess i owe her one. After that, i ate dinner at one of the stalls in Takashimaya. At first i wanted to eat fish & chips. But the store is fully occupied. All the customers were just arrived and just started eating. In the end, i just settled my dinner at some Japanese stall. I ate and chatted with my sis. It has been a long time since i met up with her. I can see that she is fine and healthy. Hope she stay this way all the time. After dinner, we walked across this fun fair to take bus. I joked to her that she can go up on the bouncy castle as she is below the acceptable height of 1.6m. She laughed and laughed. As we walked about, we talk about everything. At the busstop, i decided to send her home. Its pretty late and to let a pretty lady walk home alone is definitely not me. Especially she is my sister. After seeing her arrive safely at home, i embarked on my journey home. Sis home is just 1hr away from mine.

Life is beginning to feel boring. 3-4 days ago, i felt that going to work or going for my ITP should be fun. It should be different from studying in the Poly. I was right and wrong. Nothing much was learned while there. Difference is definitely felt. Instead of jeans and tee, im wearing long-sleeves and straight pants with leather shoes. I report to work 9am sharp instead of always going to lesson late. I had to eat faster than usual. I had to report whatever i do to someone. It is like im a cheap labour in a high earning company. I can see that the boss is very rich and he can afford high class stuff. Maybe that is why he is so successful now. Hope one day i can be like him and become rich. But he is not my role model, my role model would always be my Dad. He will be my life model. I will learn what is right from him and use his faults to learn mistakes. One thing that i must crack before anything bad happens to him... How did a primary 4 dropout married a degree holder???

Learning everything possible...

ITP Starts...

Today marks my first day in ITP. I have officially started my ITP. Man, woke up at 7am. The sky was still kind of dark here... I did things a little faster than usual and i ended up arriving at the company earlier than expected. I met up with my ITP partner, first impression was that he take the office job a little too serious. What's with the tie and blazer?? I almost broke out laughing. But i held back. The office staff let us in and introduce themselves to us. The whole office is made up of a couple of consultants, marketing and executives. Led by a very smart couple. One word to describe the entire office; strict. Lady boss was really strict, she is really adamant about what she wants and what she means. The boss is a very anology guy. He likes to use military stuff and action stuff to describe the situation to everyone. Every Monday will be meeting day, durin the meeting today, he came out with something of a military vehicle and stuff. Makes me think of Metal Gear Solid. The whole day in the office was rather bland. We did nothing much. The entire morning was orientation and some office skills training. I still not used to the printer. Guess i will make it a point to win over the printer. Now the office is gearing up for a seminar this coming Thursday. When i am on my way home, one of the staff called me and told me about the attire on Thursday. Blazer, white shirt, spotted tie, black pants and black leather shoes. Man... That looks so much like some gangster attending another gang's funeral. That leave me no choice but to get what is required.

A day has passed and it have left some nice feeling on me. I feel that the honeymoon time is ending. As soon as i step onto Thursday, i can start to accept crazy stuff. Im trying my best to adapt into the company and learn whatever they are willing to teach me. I do hope i can make the best out of this four months. My ITP partner is doing his best to do what he can. I have not seen his true power yet, a few weeks more and maybe his knowledge of IT will be passed over to me. Hope the company pay me a little more than what the last intern get. I have alot of bills to pay!!

Breathing for air...

Final Three Days...

Time has come... It has finally come. My ITP nightmare is starting to begin... Time to prepare for the final stage of my life as a Polytechnic student. The company gave my Liason Officer(LO) a couple of things to note before i went start my ITP. For example... I have to work on certain saturdays. Maybe that will mean alternate saturdays. What the heck... I have to work on these saturdays... And they are really under paying me. Sometimes i do wonder, why do they call it internship? More like getting cheap labour to work in the company. It is another pair of hands but paying lesser. Well enough of that... Today was rather a simple day, nothing exciting was done. Morning i had the ITP briefing followed by a photo-taking session for the yearbook. Later i joined my juniors for lunch. We chatted and joked around. It was really enjoyable. After that, they went back to the club to clean the stuff and sort the things they used during camp. I did not stay as i want them to interact with the year 1s more. I met up with my ex-VP and we went shopping. I wanted to watch a movie as it was a long time ago since we watched one together. After movie, we went for more shopping. We kind of wasted so much time walking about stores that does not intrest her at all. In the end, we rested by having something to drink and a couple of snacks. Actually all i wanted was to dump some rubbish after our snack time, but something caught her eye. A jacket from Fox:Women. She tested one of them but shop ran out of her size. We went over to another shopping centre to look for the same item, but it was also out of stock. At the 2nd shop, they were playing a song; Blue - Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word. She could not get what she wanted so she sang along with the song!! After that, we went to a store and she bought a cute bag. It looks to me like a grocery shopping bag but to her another bag to put stuff. She paid for it and we went back home. I sent her home personally as she was not feeling well. After that, i went home and bought some instant noodles on the way home. Man, it was really good. I ate two packets while my brother ate one. Really spicy really delicious...

Updates! Updates!! UPDATES!!!

Does this consider an update?? It is just a few days only. Im like just blog not long ago and im blogging again. Sounds like good news ya? But not actually... Nothing much happened these few days. Yesterday i went driving, the results were rather bad. Got quite a scolding from my instructor. I was a little nervous and stuff so i did badly for it. Especially parking, i can't park a car. Man, i really sucked at parking a car. I think the near future, car mechanics must invent a kind of device in cars where the car will auto park for you. Then... Then the parking system for the world will be a better place. Haha... Must be dreaming too much le. A few hours later i am going for my driving revisions... I do hope i can get a test date as soon as possible. One more day and it will be SAT day. Praying hard that i will do well and my ex-VP will do well too.

Pray for us...

Counting Down...

Another 2 more weeks... 1 more week till camp and 2 more weeks till ITP. A few days more to my SAT exam. Busy studying for it. Hope i can get a good grade out of it. I was suppose to have study sessions with my ex-VP but i think her schedule is maxed out and we could not meet up. Well, she got to help her sister for her prom night. I remember my prom night. Man... We all dressed as formal as we could to have catered buffet dinner at our school hall. Man... It was really a flop. That momment, us guys just ate and later sat down to think of what to do next. But good thing we left our sports shoes in the classroom. We quickly went up to change our shoes and grab a ball. Next momment, we are sweating like pigs playing soccer at night. Haha... Firstly is only us guys, later on the girls came over and watched us play the game. Prom night, a night to remember. Yes, it is a very memorable night for me. Soccer at prom night. Nothing much to update now... It is all studying and reading. I guess having enjoyed most of your holidays, its time to study and sacrifice for hte future.

Update on Life

How long i left this blog static is very obvious. I should have updated it daily. But its the holidays now and i usually do not have much problems. Nothing much happens during the holidays. I myself do not know what to blog so i do not want to blog the usual boring stuff that happens around the house. It will be very very very very boring. Even now as i blog i feel boring. Maybe after i find some fun activities to do... Then the blogging will begin to liven up again.

Sound Test

What a long day it is for me... In the morning, i met up with some of my friends and we headed down to Creative Building to buy products which are at discounted price. When i went over, my budget was actually $200. But i guess good buys are my weakness. Such good products at such cheap price... A technie like me, how can i forgo it? So i got myself another set of speakers and a new soundcard. Went home with happy. Dropped my stuff and brought my brother out for a movie. We watched The Incredibles. A pretty funny movie with a mystery ending at the end. Till now, i still do not know what is the last member of the Incredibles family power. Very confusing. Anyone that knows what power he has, please leave a comment. Thanks in advance. I went back home again. Chatted with my ex-VP... Somewhat got scolded by her for not greeting her. Well... I was configuring my soundcard so i did not bother to chat with anyone. But since she messaged me, i just continued the chat with her. Doing two things at one time. It was not long before we stopped our conversation and continued our lives. I bet she must be dead boring at the company she is in. Hope the boss do not torture her and let her leave the company early. She also fell sick yesterday. Pray that she will get well soon.

After installing that new soundcard, its a totally new way to listen my music. The music was really powerful and the sound quality is awesome. The set of speakers i bought was meant for my PS2. Now playing on my PS2 is totally different. I got slight surround sound now while playing games. Experience differently now by replaying all the old games i have. I have to admit, i am really a technie. I like to own the latest gadgets and hardwares. Things that look good, should sound as good too. A Singaporean life is so stressful, the only entertainment that we can easily reach are two types; the Television and the Radio. So if these are our main source of relieving stress, i do not mind spending money on it. Well, i do not mind spending money too if it brings me happiness.

Extreme Sound Drive...

Long Break

We just had a long break in Singapore. We had a straight row of holidays among the weekends. So... I got kinda hooked up with alot of things and left my blog to rot online. I afraid that most people also don't realise that. I spent my birthday during that long weekend. Had a fruitful birthday weekend. On the actual day i celebrated with my friends. They asked me out to have lunch, so i expected them to pay for my lunch. It is so expected... After that, i met up with my ex-VP. She had some personal problems but i just brush it aside and accompanied her all the while. I am a man with a major weakness; unable to see girls cry. If i see a teardrop or a sniffle from a girl, i go crazy. I cannot control my thoughts and i will panic. Yes, panic. My worse weakness... Hope all the girls that read this would not use the same tactic to attack me. After that, on the saturday i went to the beach to had some fun under the sun. It was not very sunny, did not get tanned at all. In between there was this major rain. We hitched a ride on a 'train'. Rode the train on its usual route along the entire beach. Kinda crappy... When the rain stopped, we went back to our usual spot and continued our day. The gals left early and left us boys to enjoy the beach longer. Ended the day by having dinner together at mainland. We parted when the skies were dark. I did something that i regretted terribly. Maybe its luck, maybe it is something else. But i know i will keep it inside and regret on it forever.

Birthday Eve

Last entry was like so far away. Maybe due to the holidays so nothing much to record down. Today is a public holiday for Singapore, Deepavali. A celebration for all the Hindus in our sunny country. Woke up in the morning to find the sun shining hard on my face. A glance on my clock and found that it is near noon time. Man, the latest time i had woken up on this half of the year. Maybe the next time i will wake up that late would be near Christmas season, hope my friends do not challenge me to another drinking competition. Ate lunch soon after and watched TV PROGRAMMES all the way... My uncle came over with the intend to bring me to Little India, but it rained so we cancelled the trip. We killed time by playing a new kind of chess. It was bought from Germany. The game is rather special, two teams with around ten pieces buildings and you place your buildings around. It is a strategy game. We really killed time with it as it was really enjoyable. Play and play till evening time. Nothing much was done then... My uncle went back and im back to enjoying time with the tv again. A public holiday and im rotting at home.

Happy birthday to myself. That is all i have to say.

Happy Birthday Me...

Fruitful Monday

Another useful use of a monday. No blues, no sadness, a little setback for awhile but nothing big enough to hold me back. The day started when i suddenly pop my eyes open. After trying my best to go back to sleep, i gave up and went to wash up. Nothing much was done in the morning except playing games and clearing my table. It is always messy, do not know why... Just pack it not long ago, now messy again. *sigh* After that i messaged my ex-VP to see what i can do to entertain her. We chatted on the phone using messages. It is rather stressful on her phone bills with so many people to reply. Her com is down so we can't do some serious chatting online. She made an appointment with me to go down and 'cure' her com. Hope i can help her as much as possible so that we can both return to our normal lives. We met up in the afternoon to have our lunch together. When i first met her, i find her rather funny. Not comedy funny, but unusual funny. Not her normal self, something is wrong there. Maybe lunch would do her some good as i know she like to skip meals. So we went for some food and chatted a little there. The seats were... Eh... Somewhat memorable. I think this is something only me and her would understand. Haha... We continued our day with a little window-shopping on our way to Coffeebean. It was a rather long walk. By the time we reached the cafe, i think she must be dragging her tired body to the seat. We sat quite long at the cafe... Our favourite hangout point. A few sips of the coffee and she is on her way to pick herself up. Something that she always like. We did somemore window-shopping and this time was looking at some phones. Her target, Samsung E600C, was on promotional offer. We checked it out and it was on a rather affordable price. I urged her to get it while its on offer, she shunned it all and decided to think through it and maybe see whether she have her allowance from her ITP. I predict she will be getting it if she receives it. She bought some groceries before heading home. I accompanied her home as it was rather near. After i see her arrive safely home, i left her place and head for home.

My cousin was featured on the newspaper today. Check it out on Straits Times papers. I would like to talk a little about it. My cousin is autistic. Yes, he is. He could not express himself well when things do not go his way. He would bawl, cry and throw tantrums if things do not go his way. When i first heard that he was autistic, all i could think was how my uncle and auntie accepted the news. It was a heavy blow for them but it took them quite sometime to accept it. As an elder cousin, i do not pity him. But i admire him. He is one that does not give up easily. He has other talents too. He reads like a Primary 4 student when he is studying at Primary 2. He try new words where younger kids would shun the word. Everyday, he is willing to learn. But still like a kid, he still got alot of things to learn. He likes me and he respect me alot. All i can give him is the knowledge i learn and teach him the fun things that i do. I see him trying to complete the task really puts a smile on my face. Sometimes he say things that are totally inappropriate like saying that everybody is going to die when we are taking the Skytrain from one side of the airport to the other. Yes, i did laugh. But was laughing at his words, not him. He seeing me laugh, laugh along innocently. Now all i worry is his future. What would he do? How would he fend for himself in this world where there are many outside ready to bully them? I do not know how to help him, but i will always be there if he ever needs help. I will do my best to help him.

End of Semester

Nothing means the most to students all over the world. It's the holidays. Today mark the last day of the semester of my school. All my friends are now free from educational stress. Now is the time where i can find them and ask them for outing and dates. Haha... Nothing much happened today. In the morning i went to attend talks on University entries. I realise there are so many people there. All wanting to grab a place in the local Uni. For me... I do not know where i want to go? A local Uni with a simple degree? Or an overseas degree with something out of the box? I have been looking around for the degree i want... But local Uni do not provide such a degree, i guess its either overseas or local. Currently aiming three places; England, Japan and America. Sorry, Australia just do not have what i want... Too bad. After the talk, i had lunch with my team mates. I think it is the last time i can ever have lunch with them again. With lunch in our stomach, we head to a lab to upload our FYP project to the school's server. Yes, my project is chosen for exhibition. Applause please... I left earlier as i have to attend a driving lesson. When i left them, almost everything is done. My mind was thinking of the project all the time when i driving. Maybe its my passion for the project. I called them when i finished my lesson, just to confirm that everything is done properly and alright.

Universities... One school that i will enrol after i have completed my National Service(NS). Currently im preparing myself for the SAT exams. I know that i will need it soon. Two years in the army is a very short period of time. Well, most probably i might make new friends when i enrol into the Uni. It is the time of my life where i will be seperated from my current friends now. As we have different things to do and places to go. I do hope we can still be together like what we usually do now. If i go overseas, i will sure miss all my friends here. Especially those who are very close to me... My sis told me that i will survive pretty well overseas. I have a feeling that i can make it alive... But i just have this feeling that by the time i come back home and find all my friends, i may be the only one left standing alone with the degree i always wanted.

Friends vs Degree...

It's All Over...

I officially close off my relationship with my school academic year of 04/05 Sem 1. I have nothing more to do with it anymore. The day started with some noise from the construction site. Maybe its the economy, picking up means more work for the bangladshi workers. Prepared for school and left home soon after. Met with my current President, Logistics Head and Welfare Officer. The momment i stepped in, i know i will be out of place. All of them are studying really hard. We chatted for awhile and we went for lunch together. It has been two weeks since i have eaten from school. I guess i miss school food when i do not get to eat it regularly. After lunch, we went back to our club and continued to mug for our exams. Well... I did not mug much as i had done quite a lot during the two weeks. After awhile, we went to our respective venues for our exams. My exam was rather... Eh... Expected. I expected some to come out and most of them came out. So im quite happy with it. It was drizzling outside so i went to Clementi to read some novels. Realised that the rain has died down, i took the train and met up with my ex-VP. We walked about the shopping centre as she was looking for a thank you card for her company. She got some clothing from Giordano too. After so much walking about, we were tired. So we went to have our dinner. I ordered a plate of fried oysters, a couple of pan-fried dumplings and a plate of black pepper udon. Starting she had doubts on the udon, but when it was served, she did ate quite a portion. Haha... Halfway through our dinner, she remembered that she need to buy ham for her little sister. So we quickly ate our dinner and rushed back to the supermarket to get some ham. Good thing the supermarket was not closed. We got the ham and she bought a row of Yakult. We pay up and we left the place.

Nothing much to think or say... Its all written on top. Guess im using more time on other places now.

Dreams of dreaming...
