Its soooo good to be back!

Haha... Finally got the time to update this site. I know i took a very long time to post a new entry but army life is really taking almost 90% of my time. I seldom get to use a computer like i used to, therefore now very lost to the IT world or the internet zone. Some events to update and keep it as memories for myself.

Enrollment to SISPEC
I have officially enrolled into SISPEC and now is a trainee of the school. Right now i am in a company who is well-known for the suffering and torturous training. Maybe it's the change of the chief so everything seems kinda slack now. But nevertheless, i still prepare myself for the worse to come and be prepared for any surprise attack on me.

New pair of Levi's
I realise that i need another pair of jeans when i wore the same pair of jeans for 2 consecutive book out weekends. Shopping to all the guys is a very simple thing. It involves only a few steps:
1) Go into the shop(in this case, a Levi's boutique).
2) See, touch and try the item required.
3) If it fits requirements proceed to step 4, else repeat step 2.
4) Pay up at the cashier and leave the shop.
Well, that was what happened and my mother still cannot believe why i left the shop so 'eagarly'.

Fish and Co. splurge
A very frightening event happened to me and i was on a thin line between my future and a future that i never thought before. Never mind that, its all over and shall put it behind me. I met up with Hammy to relieve stress together. Its been a long time since i have had such a good meal. Price was within budget and the meal was good. Especially the fresh oysters... Damn they were good... After that we went around to hunt for Rong's birthday present. Nothing came to mind but i suggested a watch. In the end we did not get anything on that day due to lack of funds and unsure funds. Well... Went home after that to rest and prepare for the next book in after that.

5-day break
Finally it is here. The five day break that i have awaited so long for. But i guess it will go by faster than i can feel it. Well... What to do... Time flies, no... Time zooms past us when we are having fun. After booking out on that Saturday, i met up with some old friends to attend Rong's 21st birthday. At that place, im like ajar between all of her friends that comes from our Poly. I wanted to split myself up so i can join everyone but i realise that i can never do that. Therefore my decision is to join the ones that i have not met for a long time. Chat and ate... Enjoyed myself alot. After that joined Hammy, Rose and ZhenZhen on the train back home. I guess everyone was tired except me. Being trained to take little rest and operate longer than usual, i chatted with them to keep them entertained. The environment and especially some addtional characters.

That's about it. Guess my next update would be a very long time than...

Field Camp Conquered!

Haha... Back from 7 days of field camp, finally its all over. All the memories there will stay with me for as long as i live. It is there where i learn how to be a fighting soldier. What we do in camp was just physical training. Give us a rifle each but not teach us the method of firing or aiming is simply useless. We learnt how to fire in a group, how to evade an enemy and also how to charge at the enemy when we are being ambushed. My friends all agreed that we look more like soldiers now. Before that, we only knew how to run, do chin-ups and carry weights. Now... We are able to pick up a loaded rifle and defend the country when the need arises. One of the most memorable was trench digging day. We dug for 12 hours before we knock ourselves out in our own trench. Photos were aplenty as my bunk mate brought along his camera. Once posted will copy the link here. The sad thing about field camp is that we will be going back there again soon. But this time it is for test. Field camp is to condition us for the wild and allow us to be familiar with the so-called jungle. The next field camp will be a 3 day Situational Test, in short Sit Test. At the camp, we will be tested for our leadership and analytical qualities. Proving ourselves to be a good leader for future soldiers. Hope it won't rain for the 3 days. Just glad that we are back in civilization. As one of my friends would say... Im finally back to civilization and may require some time to adjust back to it. - _ -|||

Next on the menu: Field Camp

Another week has passed in my days as a recruit. Life is getting tougher and tougher but im getting used to it. Most of my friends are down with sickness, coughs and fevers. I hope im not next on the list... I want to go through the rest of my BMT(Basic Military Training) without anymore hiccups. Furthermore, the next two weeks will not be releasing to civilization due to field camp. Haizz... Not to fret, i predict that i will be stronger and slimmer wafter that. Look out for a smaller me then. Muahahaha...

Got the chance to went out with some of my closest friends in my poly days. I did some planning for the couple in the end it did not turn out to be that way. Thought i could give them their personal time, in the end they just din't fall into plan. Gave up the plan but was kinda delighted as i finally ate the MUSHROOM SWISS WHOPPER from Burger King. Felt so heavenly and it lasted only 15mins... It is still worth it. Worth every cent! After that we went to watch 'The Island'. Futuristic movie with a very deep plot. It is about cloning humans for another human's survival. A little exxagerated in the middle but overall a good movie. I gave it 4 out of 5 chin-ups. A must watch for organ donors and futuristic geeks.

After the movie, something bad happened. I do not want to say much but it did stunned me pretty badly. Anyway its all over, nothing to good to talk about. I went home soon after and collect the keys for the car to have supper with my sister. I picked her up with her colleague. After sending her colleague home, we went to macdonalds to have supper. Chatted with her about army life, the future, her future, her university stuff and also about my personal life. It felt like we have not met for a very long time, suddenly its like so much to talk about. Maybe its the distance and time that set us so far apart after being so close for such a long time. Guess she will be the one and only closest half-kin to me...

Final words before ending...

The more we sweat in peace time, the less we bleed in war time.

A line i learned from my poly classmate.

Life as a Soldier

I have left this place for 1 month. Able to see that it has grown lots of cobwebs and algae. Some parts starting growing mushrooms!! Okie, enough of the crap talk. I have not updated about my life for a very long time. My time of using the computer is so limited. Not only do i have limited computer time, i also have limited freedom time. I am now a recruit of the Singapore Armed Forces. A training soldier that will defend this country when the call of duty is sounded. Even though i have not fired a real gun nor used a weapon of any sort to kill or injure my enemy, i learn that losing the battle is just not acceptable. Now the training for me is usually physical. We are to train our physical and mental strength so that we can repel any forces trying to invade into our country. Training is tough, but the tough gets going. But the main concern is the food they serve in the army. It really sucks to the core. Nothing beats eating mainland Singapore than having meals in the army. Food is always a big thing in the army. All my friends and seniors have been complaining about the food. But what to do? It is after all the Government right?

Time to Take a Rest

Arghzzz... It has been pretty long since i have updated this place. Find it hard to sit myself on the chair and update. Busy going around doing the things that i wanted to do. The day is finally arriving, i am going to a place where i get to change. They say the place change boys to men. Finally, i am going there. After so long... I will miss alot of things. But maybe that is just me, the bloody sentimental side. I know it is just two years but sometime you just hang on to certain things, its hard to let go. The past two weeks is very fruitful for me. I have done the most enjoyable things and met with all my wonderful friends. Everyday is events after events after events. Nothing boring has happened to me. Friends and relatives are blessing me with luck for my upcoming challenge. Yes, i look at it as a challenge. A challenge that is so different, so unexpected, that i put my whole 100% effort and energy in it. I will emerge as one of the top people there. I will do my best and go for whatever they throw at me. I want to make my family proud. I want my friends looking up to me. I will not let everyone down. Nothing is going to stop me.

NOTHING!!

Home Sweet Home

This afternoon i met up with my ex-colleague and a good friend whom i have known of for four years. We went to this fish and chips stall at town area. I ate there for the 2nd time so it was still kinda new to me. It was new to her so i introduced the steps on eating the fish and the chips. We chatted to update each other for awhile. She is now working with a pretty high salary. I guess by the time she comes out, she maybe able to get me a present finally. Haha... We left each other as she joins her friends for shopping while i go and get some computer equipment for my parent's office. After that i stopped by at the office to fix up the new computer equipment. That done, i went back to school to visit my old home. No longer it looks like the usual place. I met up with my old clubmates and chatted with them. We went for dinner and i paid for them. Cheap dinner so i do not mind paying for them. It has been some time since we met. It is the bond that i have with them. I guess it will never be the same again.

It was another fruitful day spent. I realise that when the days creep nearer to my enlistment date, i treasure them more and more. I feel that i am starting to miss all my friends outside. All of us are going through a transition where we go into our seperate ways and move on with life. No longer can we have fun together, share our stress levels together and enjoy lunches and dinner together. I am going to miss all these fun times. I will miss all my friends who have joined me to overcome obstacles in my life journey. I hope that one day we will be able to come together and be like our student days. It is going to be difficult but i have hope that it will come one day. Praying hard that the day will come soon...

It will come...

Challenge Completed

Finally... I have completed the challenge given to my by my parents. Thanks to an ex-classmate of mine that i have found a suitable employer for the company. She will officially start work next monday. She was new to the area so i went over to Harbourfront to pick her up. Initially upon meeting up, she looked timid and soft-spoken. After some chatting and knowing more about her history, she is actually a grown woman in a petite body. Haha... On the bus, an old lady smiled at me and pointed a finger at her. I just smiled back and wishing we were not on the same wavelength. I doubt she noticed her as she just walked to the back of the bus. Before we alight from the bus, it was a little drizzling. Its a good thing i brought a brolly down. I opened up the brolly to shield her from the rain. Felt like some kind of romantic movie... When we reached the office, my parents were having lunch. So it was pretty awkward for her to see them. So i introduced her to them and took her outside to explain the daily business flow of the company. I guess i did a pretty good job. She understood everything. After that, i photocopied the application form for her. After completing the form, my Mum spoke to her on her job scope. She felt that she might be a good employee so she(Mum) hired her(employee) immediately. The accomplishment of this task made me felt that i have contributed to the company permanently. I have faith in her that she will be an asset to the company. After everything, i sent her to the bus stop. He bus came abruptly and she left hurriedly. I celebrated quietly after she boarded the bus and walked back to the office. Along the way, i forgot to pass her our namecard! Arghz... Maybe next time...

Street-smart and knowledge-smart. Which is better? Some say that learning how to survive in the real world is more important. Some say the opposite. What do i say? I say getting a degree in street-smart and holding a diploma in knowledge-smart. Why i say so? Life experiences and failures are what books and teachers cannot pass on. It is experiencing it by yourself that you know the ups and downs of the obstacles in life. When the obstacle repeats, you would not fall into the same trap as the previous obstacle. The Human mind learns to survive, not to absorb knowledge. If i ever want knowledge, i can always read up in the library. That is where the knowledge bank is, with unlimited withdrawals. Even though the withdrawals are loans from the back, they are usually interest free(unless you return late). If there is a financial bank that operates the same as the library, please feel-free to contact me as soon as possible.

Live and Learn...

Brothers Team VS. Sisters Team

Have not been updating recently... In another few days time, i might not be able to update le. This webby will start to grow cobwebs le. Just to let everyone know what is happening in the past few days... On friday, i slacked at home. Just enjoy my computer and the coolness of the swimming pool. The weekends was spend very fruitfully. I attended my friend's wedding. I as a guy, was the team leader of the Brothers Team. We did crazy things... The Sisters Team really made a fool of us. Shall not write all the embarassing things we did here. At the wedding dinner, the Brothers Team was the one that emerged the winner in the Team games. Too bad for the ladies, we have a phone card. Haha... Somethings just cannot use money to buy. Hehe... As for today, i went out the entire day. Was out at Orchard and an old lady came up to me. I was listening to my player so i could not hear what she said. She held a plastic bag with a bottle of cooking oil. She asked me to buy. I rejected and continue walking. Friends say i do not have heart for the lady. But i see it as i do not know what the bottle contains. It may look like oil, maybe its some flammable liquid and i may be fined heavily. Anyway, one message to my friends... If you complain i do not have heart for the lady, YOU SHOULD INTERRUPT AND PAY FOR THE OIL.

Simple as that...

Calmer Seas Now...

After so many days of rough seas, the waters are calmer now. No more thunders or lightning and tall, dangerous waves. Once awhile a blow of strong wind and a crackle of rain here and there. The sea is better but i still think that stronger winds are building up and maybe another major storm coming up. Have to start to make preparations for the next storm... Right now, a uplifting story to share with everyone.

The Merchant and The Mighty One
A merchant was very bad at business. He have been making losses for the past few months. One night, when he was counting his losses, he decided that it was all his luck. So he called out to God, 'Oh my God, why must you do this to me? I am a devoted person to your religion and why i deserve such punishment??' At that momment, God appeared infront of the Merchant. God said, 'I am God, the Mighty One. I heard that you have a problem with me?' The Merchant was shocked and replied, 'Yah, I need to ask you three things. You must answer me with all your knowledge.' 'Okay, what are your three questions?' asked God.
The merchant asked, 'What is a million hours to you?'
God replied, 'Just one second.'
Next the merchang asked, 'So... What is a million dollars to you?'
God replied, 'Just a single mortal cent.'
The merchant sat down and think before he came up with the third question...
'Can you give me one mortal cent?'
God replied, 'Of course... In the time of one second.'

I've learnt not to ask much in one lifetime. Just be content with what you have. Enough is enough, just feel blessed that you are sleeping under a roof, in a bed and blanket. Some are sleeping in a cupboard box as young as 6months old...

Camp, New Friends and a Bad Ending

Totally stretched... From head to toe. The past two days have been spent helping out at my club's FO camp. The freshmen came to enjoy and i saw happy faces. There were sad faces but they soon changed to happy ones. The first day was not very tiring. I was a station master and a couple of friends. We went shopping before we went to our station. At the station, i used a marker pen to draw on their arms. They are to write their group name and the initials of the camp. It was pretty hectic at some point and i predicted that something will happen at the back. So when we are finished with our station, we moved to the last one to help out. It was a blessing that we went as the station was out of manpower. Do it a fast one and send them back to school for dinner. The next day was spent at Sentosa. I was there for more than 12hours. Now my parts of my body are in reds. Burnt and sore. But i had a great time. Even though the entire body was wrecked and the skin was burnt, the sensation was great. After that was something that i did not enjoy much. Something bad happened and i could not enjoy at the camp. In the end, i just slept through the night and prepared for the worse at home. I do not wish to say much about this. I know how to handle such emotions now. Already been through 20 years of my life, i am well aware on how i should behave. Now it just waits for time to pass...

Rejection X 2!!

Another hectic day for me... Morning busy answering phone calls, preparing invoices and checking that orders are correct. Arghz... Almost gave a customer hell when he is so fussy about a few crates of beer. What more do you want me to do?? Taste every single bottle before i send it to u to confirm that they are fresh? With all the daily stuff, i still have to do up the new system for acceptance. So many things to do... But i overcomed everything and completed it all. Came home with mom and ate dinner. After that was packing of bags for the camp.

I actually rejected 2 person that wanted to apply for the position. The first one was because she was malay. She fitted every requirement i needed. But she was a malay. A christian malay. Too bad, cause our customers are 99% Chinese, they speak dialects and mandarin. How to communicate with them?? The other was introduced by a friend. My friend, shall not say who, told me she is willing to work. She needs the money. I do not ask for her contact, but waited for her to contact me. In the end, she let me wait for a couple of days and contacted me. Forgive her as i do not know her. She asked me lots of questions, silly questions. I asked questions and she did not gave me a satifactory answer. One of my most hated answer she gave me was, 'Eh... Your company cover transportation anot?? Do i need to entertain customers?' It is just a simple office job, did i mention anything about entertaining them?? Guess she is just another 'tai tai' in the making. Definitely will give my parents a hell of a time.

Bottlenecked!!

Last few days been rather busy. Everyday fully packed and did not have much time to update here or do things i wanted to do. Below will be a little recap on things during my absence.

Thursday
Been out the whole day. Morning was surfing the net on some resources and learning how to do more management on cashflow. There is alot to learn on cashflow management. If we were to just earn money and be a good employee all our lives, i guess we are just living on the 'next paycheck' type of lifestyle. I decided that i will not live like that. I want freedom to learn what i want. Later in the afternoon, i joined my juniors to their preparation camp. It was Amazing Race in the city limits. In the end, i joined the gals and they brought me around shopping... But i knew what i was supposed to do. So its like pretty prepared. I left them around the evening time to send my dad off. He is going to London to catch a match by Liverpool. The irony here is, he will land at Manchester, take a stadium tour of Old Trafford and live in the city. The only time he will go Liverpool is on the match day and its a bus ride over. Irony right?? We bid him farewell while he is on his way to the customs. Hope he finds the business class lounge.

Friday
Woke up early in the morning to join my mum for work. Will be substituting my dad for the meantime. I cannot cover everything but at least there is an extra pair of hands. Most of my time are spent reading newspapers and doing up the computer system. The rest are spent doing checks on goods, picking up calls and doing invoices. In the evening, i went for a SCS meeting. It was a mix of leaders from each IT tertiary school. It was rather boring but seeing old friends there was pretty good. I like the ideas thrown out for the events that will be organised this year. The bad part is that i will not be part of it. No... Its not the bad part. It is the worse part...

Work and play...

Interview with a Vampire

Have not been blogging for the past few days. I celebrated Mother's Day during the weekends. This year decided not to buy her something. I went to the market and bought a couple of lobsters and made bbq-ed cheese lobsters for her. I make a mastercard commercial out of these...

Lobsters... $48.
Cheese... $5
Herbs and spices... $15
The look of my mum with that lobster dish... Priceless...

Haha... Total rip off!! But the look on her face is really satisfying. I wasted 2 lobsters, the first had too much cheese and it was not well cooked. The next was overcooked and the cheese did not melt. But the last 2 lobsters was perfect. Man, it was good. We ate it with my family and i created another recipie! Hehe... Next time i bring the recipie to bbq party.

My dad gave me a task to contribute to the family business . He asked if any of my friends would like to work for us, females only. He want to unload some of the stress that my mum is handling so she would not work so hard. Should have done that a long time ago. So i went around and asked friends to spread the message. But they have to go through an interview. My interview. That is why the title. It is the title of one of my favourite movies by Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. I will filter the candidates and see which i would hire. Any mistakes or unhappiness my parents have, i will be responsible. Well, talk about responsibility and committment. Furthermore, i have to do it before i enlist. A tough challenge. But i have confidence that i will conquer it.

Divide and Conquer!!!

Spectrum of Colors

Nothing much today. Another boring day again... Morning was up early to prepare breakfast and eat it. Sometimes cooking your own breakfast in the morning is so satisfying. But it seems that after cooking, eating and washing up, the feeling of going back to sleep again haunts you. I tried to keep awake by using my computer. Thanks to a good friend of mine, we played some games together while i send her the graduation dinner photos. She is very good at that game, out of three games, i won only one. Till date, i think i won like four out of 20 games? Haha... Time to study more on that and win more often. I logged off later to buy some light bulbs from the hardware store. Came back and fixed everything up. Did not bother to log on again as i decided to play a game using a new tactic. Testing how would the game flow. Not a bad experience, learn a couple of things. My brother came back in the evening, taught him some tricks for his exams tomorrow. Hope he score well to make my parents' happy. Dinner soon followed and i sat down to read up more about some universities courses. All of them say they are the best, but whom shall i believe?

It rained this afternoon and near the ending, the sun shone brightly. It was the evening sun then... I was playing my game that time. The wall that the sun shone had became multi-coloured!! It was pretty shocking at first but i soon realise that it is just the rainbow of colours. I looked at it for awhile and enjoyed it. I grabbed my phone to take a photo of it... But no matter how i try, the phone just cannot capture the colour. Guess only the human eye can see such colour. Lousy phone...

Rain + Sun = Rainbow...

What Age Am I...

You Are 23 Years Old

23 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

The Gift

What an extremely boring day... Nothing was achieved today. Morning was spent watching anime. Old anime... I dug out my old VCDs and put them on the player to remind me of the times i spend watching them. Can't believe they are still in tip top condition. After that i went back to my room to play games. There was nothing much to do so i decided to do some research on the game itself. Had some amazing finds. After gaming, i exited the program and sat infront of my computer to chat with my friends. At the same do some maintenence work on my PC. I didn't realise there were so much crap in my computer disk. Dinner soon followed and i continue my gaming investment. Hehe... A little time was spent there as i soon decided to research more on project management. It seems that there are an estimated of 500K trainned professionals in that industry. Wow... And i am like one of the trainned but uncertified. Going to do more research tomorrow and see if i can get any leads to a certification.

No gift is too small to give, nor too simple to receive, if it is chosen with thoughtfulness and given with love.
Aesop Fables

Aesop Fables is a book of filled with children stories. It contains lots of entertaining yet valuable lessons for children to read and learn. One of the most familiar kind is the thirsty crow and the jug with half filled water. The crow put in stones so that the water will rise and blah blah blah... I'm sure most of us will know that story. The book contains lots of other stories. As a child, i loved that book. It taught me the virtues of life. The sentence above I have quoted is one that i will never forget. I still keep that in mind whenever a gift is given or received. But it depends on who is the receiver and giver.

Given with love...

A Few Hundred Years

What a hectic day i have today... At least i spend them wisely. Morning was nothing much, just a simple breakfast and a 90mins movie to go along. The perfect match for a lazy morning i would say. After that, i just sat in my room and watched anime for the next two hours. Bathed and prepared to meet the club members for a good round of LAN gaming. Arrived late and lost too. Had false information causing me to be blur... Nvm, next time i show them. Played three games in total. Sucked at the previous two but the last... I almost ruled them!! Haha... Played for like 15 rounds and i fragged some who started out way longer than me. A waste i could not stay long enough to grab top fragger. Haha... Left them midway, to join my ex-colleagues for movie. While having dinner at Cineleisure, i met up with an old friend. He was there for movie watching too. Too bad we are not watching the same movie. I caught up with my colleagues. Man... The new interns are giving my bosses and supervisor extreme headaches. Think about it... An intern installed a spyware to track the password of every user including the Administrator account?? My Boss was furious. I never saw him got angry before but when i heard the story, i believed that he is very scary when angered. People that do not show anger often, will explode at the worse momment. Just like me... Hehe... We watched 'XXX: The Next Level'. A good movie with lots of action, explosion, mod-cars, military vehicles, more mod-cars and a Fort Shelby Cobra!!! I think the movie just set the next level for action packed stuff.

Part of movie made me think that the African-American are taking over. In the movie, the hero, or anti-hero is a black person. His gang are black too. A few hundred years ago, black people or negros are considered last-class people. Not second class or even third class. Directly the last class. They are traded and treated as slaves. Till date, the whites and the blacks are not in good relations still. We are listening to music, sang by black people. Almost every sport we have or at the top is a black person. Celebrities and pop stars are moving towards the blacks. Even rappers like Xzibit, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube have made it to the big screen. I play a game that are featuring black people that fight like they do not care. Black people are modding cars that the whites just ride them. It all goes to show that black people are rising. They are no longer considered last class people. They are rising to first class, and fast. So who are helping them rising? Simple... The Media.

World Turning Black...

Picking Up the Pieces

What a good day to waste at home. Maybe it is just the feeling of staying home and enjoying all the hardware i have in my home. Morning was playing games, all kinds of computer and console games. My parents say that i am spending too much time playing games and should be using it to do something more fruitful. The way i see it... I see it as investing into my knowledge bank on gaming and its ideology. I do see myself as a game programmer or a game designer in the future. By absorbing all this foreign talent, one day i dream to create a game that the Americans, Japanese and South Koreans will play it like it is their staple food. In the afternoon, i made some macroni with cheese and herbs. Did not eat much as soon after i went swimming. A hot day for a cool dip. So i went down to the pool, in the end... I got the hot day but not a cool dip. The water was warm. Damn... A few laps to and fro and i gave up. I guess my body temperature is heated up by the water and not by itself. In the evening i just laid back on my couch and watched tv. Quality tv... At least it entertained me for two hours. Than it all ended when my Dad and my Brother came back with a new kind of amazon fish. I had to prepare a tank, set up the filtration system, make sure the water is treated for chlorine and sodium, etc... After that was just simply dinner and a another good bath.

In between lunch and swimming, i chatted with a couple of friends who are online. A couple of them is like catching up. Updating each other on what has happened and what is going to happen. Realise that time really fly past without one knowing. One of the chat was a friend from Sarawak, she was asking me if i could help her get a place to stay in Singapore. She is coming over to Singapore to study at one of our Polytechnics. Well, she won't be residing near me as the Polytechnic is not near my place. I called a couple of people and requested some information to be sent over to me. Anyway, she is coming over to study and i have to help. Her dad is an owner of a corporation that deals will mobile sanitation. Simply, mobile toilets. Disgusting but a very good business. Doing that to support five kids, two degree holders, one diploma(soon), two others studying at the secondary school. Hope next time she get her diploma, she decides to recide here. That way, i may recruit her as a business partner. Rich people backing a small project... That way i just provide the brains and using somebody's money. Muahahaha...

More catching up...

Matter of Choice

I went in for training today. Missed yesterday as i was too tired. A splitting headache in the morning and feverish in the evening. Spent the day at home resting and recuperating. I went back to the training class and realise that i lost out alot. I missed out so much! I had to catch up while the trainer is teaching the theories of the next chapter. But i did manage to catch up. During lunchtime, a guy came up to me to ask for donation. He spoke alot of his fasting, he cannot ask for donations after 12pm. So i just gave him $2 and walk off. People would think i am foolish to give him money, but i think he may need that $2 more than me. Had lunch and went back to training. Than the lesson became boring. More theories and less hands-on. It felt like studying in MLT 12 again... Haha... At least i had a computer which i installed some programs. Entertained me during those boring hours.

Friend: 'Why you want to go back and help your club? The school give you cca pts isit?'
Me: 'No, i promised them. I said i would join them in their event two weeks ago. Now you tell me got such program, how am i suppose to split myself?'
Friend: 'since no cca pts dan dun go la... why go when u can learn to earn money'
Me: 'Because i choose to...'

Above was what my close friend and i talked about. He was rather pissed at hearing that i cannot make it to a seminar. What can i say is sorry... Why i chose the club than that seminar was not the promise itself. Even though if the things are reversed, i would choose to go for club activities. Why? Simple... When you have found a home, you do not want to leave it. I told some of my clubmates that once you have found something that you can devote your time in, nothing will stand in the way. Everything you do will be enjoyable, even though it is the most mundane job. Like a volunteer worker, low pay and no fixed working hours. But why do people choose this line? Same logic with me. A simple sentence to sum everything up; the passion and the drive.

Passion & Drive...

Graduation Dinner 04/05

The weekends have been very fun for me. I attended my graduation dinner organized by my juniors. It was amazing... I enjoyed myself very much, taking photos and looking at all the beautiful ladies that night. The food was not bad, but the Chef is a little generous on the MSG or salt. Intake of water was the mid-result ending many of us heading to toilet breaks often. I took more than 100mb of photos and videos. Guess i maxed out my card's memory. I even took home a prize, so-called 'slo-cooker'. Haha... Guess i will be cooking in my room in the future. At the end of the dinner, more photo taking sessions. I accompanied my friends to send some a couple home. We met back together and went to watch a movie. After movie, we proceeded to Swensen's for ice cream and some food. The current President of the club and i shared the bill. The rest of the guys just paid the GST. Sat in the restaurant to talk and chat. By then, it was almost 5am. Everybody was extremely tired, except me. I was still hyper. Maybe its the mood i am in, or the friends that i have not met for such a long time. Either way, when i reach home that morning, i could not go to sleep immediately. Well... Nothing beats enjoying some of the greatest times of my life.

Next update would be about the club's chalet and the 5-day training with a rather new Microsoft product.
