had a revamp with my blog! hahhaa... tho the previous picture is nice with the beach and everything.. somehow tt person did not update or do anything to her photobucket and so it was removed... and tada! the new photo background... i did not search it through yahoo or google ok.. it was taken by me! haha.. wat a emo pic.. it was taken at sydney.. coogee beach.. yeaps.. was thikning shd i take this or some of the pics for bintan.. n of cos this won the game.. was playing ard with the format and colour.. and the whole thing seems fine on mozilla.. but somehow the fonts disappeared if i open up with explorer... oh wells.. im not gonna change it.. hahhaa since i took some time off to do the revamp(tho i nv even do webpage design b4).. so im sorry to those who can't read the posts(then i realise those who cannot read posts won't read this too haha)...
had dinner with guan... nice catching with her.. glad tt aft such a long time tt we meet up we still had something to tok abt.. hahaz.. esp the talks abt our grad trips.. all the misfortunes tt happen to us.. thinking back.. it was really qt an interesting experience... then she wanted to go bkk too.. so i started to tok abt my trip with the randoms one year ago... it was really one of my most enjoyable trip cos of the company and everything.. wells.. abit sad to know tt this clique will feel awkward again if we were to meet out(which is why i nv really organise anything) .. tho all of us forsee this.. but still.. felt tt it was abit sad some way.. oh wells.. but other than tt.. the chat with guan is nice!! definitely will find some time to have dinner with her again aft i start work since our workplaces are so near each other...
the first day of work has been postponed one week later... amazingly everything seems to really fall nicely into place.. like aft tt week with gov ware.. then the other week was interviews(which allows me to have a good time thinking which of the options i wan).. to this week's of intensive tuition since my tuitee is having her exams.. and then nex week.. when i have more time of my own to pacl(hopefully), read and recharge myself... now i understand why things were arranged so to me.. think i shd be really thankful for tt...
and.. somebody.. either or not intentionally.. has been MIA-ing for qt some time... i really wan to help.. but i noe i can't do much.. only two things can help him.. tt person he likes opens up to him or accept him.. or he get a job tt he likes... i can't comment too much cos i noe the process of jobseeking is not easy.. in the sense tt it kind of changed me in one way or another.. the morale was really low but theres nothing tt i can do to make the situation better... seriously i think i would have gone into depression if i hasn't got any job now... so im really thankful for tt.. tho the pay is not tt wonderful.....
today is a very special day.. it marks the start of another phase in my life.. the working life..
At hm waking up at 7.. it really feels like im going back to ntu for a 0930 lesson.. similarly.. i was late.. slightly late as usual.. breakfast with a cup of coffee and channel newsasia.. totally reminds me of the time back then.. when i dreaded going back to sch..
On train for 0930 lessons i usually hated the train ride from tp to raffles place.. packed to the glass doors.. everyone packed like sardines with zero identity.. novena was usually the stop which most pple get off.. while dhoby ghaut is usually the one with more pple getting up.. those white collars who are working in the CBD area.. the ride from raffles place to boonlay is usually a better one with less people for 0930 lessons(it will be always packed if im going for 0830 lessons cos of the working crowd going to jurong area).. took my fav window standing area.. taking notice of each and everything outside(yes i love train rides especially when it is not underground..).. i like to look at the pple on the train.. esp wat they wear n such... n whenever i see young pple.. i will start to have a small game with myself.. guessing where are they frm.. sp?nus?ntu? of cos.. there were times when i was so tired tt i totally knock off on the train.. and of cos.. the times when i was focusing hard on the notes... so many memories on jus a simple train ride from my hse to ntu.. somehow.. 4 yrs is really something...
On cab as usual i was late.. since this time was to sign a contract instead of going to lecture.. i guess i better not risk.. and there is no busstop tt are near CAO.. so i decided to take a cab... i noe ive been wasting money but it jus feel abit too far for walking...
At NTU taking my contract.. was surprised n glad to know tt actually this programme tt im in comes with 5 sponsored workshops relating to management or strategic planning.. so theres something tt make up to tt low pay without CPF.. still taking my time to read up n see which workshops i prefer to go.. so many n so interesting! haha.. i think i sound like a mugger now... so.. the time for me to sign tt contract has come... now i understand wat isaac mean when we were doing events.. everything seems so unreal... as if u are still in a dream.. i was still a student a few mths back.. now im going to be part of the working world.. perhaps part of the faceless sardines tt i saw on train...
i was early for meetin clar at buona vista for lunch.. and so aft making sure tt the wireless still works for my acct(thanks ntu for letting the alumni me to use ur network.. hahah).. decided to nua in sch for an hr first... the long aircon walk at N2 or N3 was super nostalgic.. cos tt was the way to and fro from hall 2 to my sch... the rainy days.. the days i panic when i was rushing for papers.. the days when i was demoralised aft certain exam papers.. the days when i was super tired aft long hrs of proj work.. tt poster whcih i saw for these few years(meaning it hasnt changed over the 4 years too hahaz).. the names of the profs on the doors.. all has become memories...
then it was mac.. missing those cheaper rates in sch... the rates outside is really bad... gotten icemilo and hashbrown and found myself a seat at the old can a since there are less pple.. the long queues for the diff stalls... the take aways we had due to the lack of time.. the waiting for more seats to come.. the heated discussions on some of the tables.. the nites of muggings with clar when i bunk at sis's place.. oh manz...
and so aft 1 hr of nuaing.. set off for lunch with clar.. sharing my good news with her.. n aft hearing her incident abt her interview.. haha.. seriously i think she is damn suey.. but i hope she'll make it thru! then she can tell tt someone wats useful abt BTI le.. hahhahaa...
oh wells.. shall end the post here.. nex monday gonna be my first day of work.. good luck to me.. hope everything goes one smoothly n good.. frenly n nice colleagues i hope!
the past week has been quite busy.. and finally i can announce a stop to my job-searching process... got a job finally.. after much consideration between two offers.. it was not a easy decision.. but all thanks to those long bus rides that i can clear my mind n think it through.. i hope i really made the correct decision.. oh wells.. this will only be known when i really start my work... but im really thankful tt the time has come finally.. so its now planning of wat i wanna do for the last week b4 job starts... the longggg vacation has ended.. finally...
the weekends has been qt busy.. or rather not those rushing kind of busy but meeting up with qt a few good frens and doing the fav sports at my fav place..
fri was the celebration of tanya's bdae.. was qt a quiet celebration with the bdae ger of cos, ml hp dada aw.. guess the some are qt tired with their work so there were some weird silences in between the sessions... but other than tt it was fun! its been nice to catch up with frens.. know wats happening to their world...its really qt scary how time has passed.. some of them have actually worked for 3 mth already.. n it was 5 mths ago since we were struggling hard with our design project at that room... aft makaning at kim gary in vivo.. we went over to swensons for the ice cream cake(cos tanya dun like normal cake).. n trust me.. the service there was damn cui... really.. many pple but all acting busy... doing duno-wat-things.. so here goes the pictures...
the bdae ger
ml huay
tanya aw dada
the whole grp at swensons
aft tt i proposed going to keppel island to the grp.. hahha.. n surprisingly they were ok with the random plan.. haha.. but ml n huay was tired n sick so they went hm first... keppel island.. been there once b4 so this time round wasn't much of a surprise anymore... and so we went to a corner and sat down to tok again.. until abt 1am.. missed tt nuaing feeling.. jus sitting down n update each other... so here goes the fotos
aft tt took a night rider back hm with tanya... somehow felt tt she was really pressurised sianed by the things she have to do.. but of cos she's not rejecting it.. n i believe she is capable of doing it.. im hopping hard tt she wun disappear too much nex time...
so went to sentosa on sat afternoon.. n qt a random grp cos no gers at all.. oh mans i think im damn brave or damn free... but it was nice la.. they are nice snrs and vball n beach are my fav stuff... the sun was good n got myself qt red... the sand wasnt too hot cos it rained in the morning...
went to clarke quay with pj ah wei and tyy...had dinner at cafe iguana.. everything is nice.. jus tt my gastric wasn't feeling very well these days.. so jus had a cup of magarita... went to joy's place for mj.. it was a long long time since i played mj at joy's place.. n she's got a cute puppy called nike! hhahaha.. very frenly and he nv even bark at outsiders at all.. so the day ended at 4am n we went hm aft tt.. wonder when's the nex catch up session... missing those training times with the open's team and all the nuaings...
oh wells.. so 1 more week to start of work.. i shd really finish my log on my grad trip.. yea.. u nv see wrongly.. my logbook is still not completed.. hahhaha..im not a disciplined person u see.. yeaps.. hope tt the week will be good!
before i know it.. it has already hit the big ten...and i wonder when will it stop.. kind of sick of all these rejections and disappointments already.. really
the past week has been busy.. till the extent tt i've got not much time to send in my resumes.. but still had qt an enjoyable experience with the reg team... it was fun knowing new pple and knowing whats happening ard them.. perhaps its also how they work tt make the experience more enjoyable.. everyone is always offering help when they are free.. guess tts the power of team work i think... and of cos.. the team leader is a good leader i feel.. one who does not show her temper easily and sensitive to her team members.. for instance like dora n i made a mistake.. she was more concerned abt us being worried abt wat we did rather than reprimanding us abt the mistake... so here's the photos! yy took this while i was unaware... i look qt serious tho im actually browsing facebook! hahhaha.. how they do customer service ok.. the face is incoherent of the activities u are doing... pple from outside will think u are busily at work
tt was issac beside me and kokwai in the fore picture... this is like the last day of the event so all of us are qt slack waiting for pple to come n register with us... this is so unlike the first day when everything is in havoc and aft 1 hr u'll feel so drained
and while we are free... we camwhored! hahhahaha tt's dora and me
tts the team photo from the reg team.. had fun working with them... from the left.. jim kokwai yiyin zai issac and me! ah wei was off for interview so she wasn't in this foto.. wat a pity!!!!
and to end the wonderful working experience of.. now its back to the mundane-boring-job-searching-interview-life for me... sigh..
and ydae was maf.. had a normal night with my mom... and my mom had a little souvenier for me.. tada!
hahhaha.. a childhood toy of her time.. which my grandma used to make it for her... its like a windmill whereby when u pull the string... the black colour ling jiao will turn.. hahaha.. sometimes im qt amused by the creativity they have back to tt time... u make ur own toys and the whole playing process includes getting ur materials.. making them.. and playing with them.. not like now... everything u just buy... maybe tts why kids these days do not know how to treasure simple things like these anymore... cos no effort was put in at all! and u can get newer better ones if wat u have now is spoilt... oh wells....
and aw showed this video to me...
its nice..the song.. the emotions without any dialogue.. but the storyline is abit too ideal i guess.. haha.. and so i wonder... wat will the ah boy opposite me react if i write a big poster saying 'hi, how are u?' hahahhaa... it will definitely freak him out i think... but come to think of it.. i've been seeing him(as in opp me and our blocks are qt near each other) for like 4 years? since i move in? hahhaha.. i do wonder wat he thinks when he see tt occasional me with my facial mask.. hhahahaha..
watched qt a few movies recently... like The Ugly Truth.. The Time Traveller's Wife and Coco before chanel.. ok the list is not alot but it seems more as compared to the life when i was back in uni... the ugly truth was funny... but still i guess its kind of ideal somehow..and the things tt were mentioned in the show abt wat kind of gers tt guys will not like... i think i bingo all.. no wonder im still single... oh wells..heck... and seriously im looking forward for more big productions.. like those tt can be comparable to lord of the rings... missed tt kind of 'wow' when i see those nice effects...
so.. now its back to the square one... another disappointment with the management trainee position... sometimes i really think... wat is tt factor tt is lacking in me.... or wat has really gone wrong with my interview... or is it because of size? im not very sure.. oh wells...
