Busy Busy Weekend....

It had been a very busy weekend.... so much so that i didn't even have enough time to sleep well.... so not to mention blog... haha....

Firstly.... yup... 4 birthday celebrations on 3 consecutive days... since last Friday till Sunday...
Friday night being Mr Tan Yong Shen's one.... then my ODAC friends, Yvonne and Angeline on Saturday, and finally, my ex-ATGM PC in my company, army regular Edward's birthday on Sunday.....

So yar.... kept busy throughout the weekend man....

For TYS's, he celebrated it at "The Labyrinth", the pool center with a pub inside.... quite a nice ambiance... but well... mainly for drinkers i guess... and singers waiting to be talent-spotted... got an open Karaoke system.... quit fun...
Sadly though... got quite abit of smokers inside... thought there was a rule banning all smoking in air-condition places.... hmm....
Nevertheless... had fun watching everyone else get drunk and high... see people vomit.. and do crazy stuffs.... haha....
Sang some songs too.... quite fun.... first time singing infront of strangers... well.. not really infront .. but yar.. everyone can hear...

Drank abit only .. because i drove... yar... don't want to get into trouble with the law... remember seeing a police show about a person, who only drank abit... well below the legal limit, but also got into an accident in his bike... caused the death of his pillion i think....

So... to be fair to my parents, and the strangers all around... i refrained form drinking...

Come to think of it... i have actually stopped drinking totally for quite a long time... ever since i got my license.... the other other time i drank was during my battalion Happy Hour, and going MOS.... no choice... forced to drink.. and clubs got no water...

But it seem that i will be integrating myself back into a drinking world... because nowdays alot of party will have booze and stuffs... all 21 years old liao mah.... must drink and do whatever in bed.... ^_^

But well... i will continue to discipline myself... will only sip abit when i drive... will refrain from even drinking if possible....

And i'm glad i did that... or else the "drunk" Mr Tan won't be able to get home .... ^_^
Special escort of birthday boy leh... haha...

And well... come Saturday.... even more busy... going to 2 birthday parties at around the same time... went to Yvonne's chalet at the "Aranda Country Club" to have dinner first, followed by cake cutting, and more eating at Angeline's NSRCC bungalow chalet...
Honestly... was kinda short of words at Yvonne there... because i guess it really had been quite a long time since we all gathered .... so also not much to say.... felt rather weird too... go there eat abit le... then go off liao.... not very nice... but no choice...
Then at Angeline's there... at least got some time to gather round and talk.... so still ok...

And yup.... see people get drunk and vomit again... i seriously wonder why do people keep getting themselves in that situation.... shouldn't you stop when you are beginning to feel unwell?
Oh well.... i hope i will never reach to that stage... i won't want myself to be addicted to drinking and stuffs....

And that day... reached home at around 0500hrs.... after sending friends home...

And so.... slept for awhile.. went out again at around 1100hrs.... went out with my family... then after that head down to Marina Bay for Edward's birthday.... it felt quite nice to actually gather most of us commanders together after so long... army style man....
Catching up with one another... yar.... those were the days man...

After that went for some lan.... and i am rather sorry to say.... at the first match of C&C3, i overwhelmed all 4 of them in a free for all map... haha.... unfair advantage though.. because i am the only one who had played the game before...
But i am not that evil... also spent some time to teach them what to build and stuffs...
And so... at the next match... i was overwhelmed by the 4 of them teamed up against me... no thanks to 1 guy who deliberate put himself beside me... then send soldiers and engineers to disrupt me at the beginning....
And so although i manage to subdue him... i lost precious time to build up my army.... so later kena overwhelmed by 2 of them who chose scrin, and used my tactics in the previous map of aircraft carriers and walkers to chiong me... plus GDI walkers and mamonth tanks... holded them for awhile, destroyed the 1st wave... but yar... that's about all i can last.... haha... kena chiong by the 4 of them... confirm cannot win one lor....
But well... it was fun....
Was thinking.... maybe if i was disrupted at the beginning.. i would have enough time to consolidate a stronger force... and that would be possible to hold their attacks for quite awhile...

Oh well... think too much...

Following that.. had 2 rounds of DOTA.... really ancient game to me liao... didn't play it since dono when... even before i ORD i stopped playing it all together... forgot what things to buy for what weapons and stuffs.... and although i managed a few kills here and there.. i was mostly owned... be it in the 2 man or 3 man team.. lost both rounds... haha....
Well... doesn't matter.... i can always train up on it...when i got the time...

And so.... after that went home rather happy... felt really good to catch up with them after all these times... and play lan together... just like when we go for night's out man... nostalgic man..

That's about all for the celebrations.... yar.....

I've got it!!!

Been doing some thinking.... and yar... finally decided....

I shall not bother to work for now!!!

Well... at least until i come back from my MK conquest...

And that is of course... not without some supporting reasons.... or else i will surely be branded a real lazy slacker, couch potato.... useless bum... blah blah blah....
Actually.. i think i am the only one scolding myself...

But well... for most who know me... i seriously don't like to slack... yar...

I am an workaholic.... haha...

The first and most important reason.... almost all companies won't bother to hire me.... and this reason have been proven, by my previous entry...
Thinking of it... i also realised... who would want to hire somebody for around 1 week... then he go holiday????

2nd reason.... i am rather sick of looking through The Straits Times Classified everyday.... then keep sending resume after resume... or calling them up... and yar.. either not suitable... or no response...

But actually... i think the only valid reason is the first one...

Anyway... against what most people would think... i won't be slacking at home... though i agree i would play alot of C&C 3 (still figuring how to defeat Brutal Steamroller AI)....
But... i have decided to enroll myself in a life-saving course....yep... ^_^

I have always wanted to get that certificate... just that last time not much time... then since now so free... might as well go train to be a life saver... with regards to the recent cases of drowning.. you never know when you need to jump in to save a young helpless life, or worst , feel the kind of regret and sickness when you see somebody drowning... and you can't do a thing but watch...
Although it may not be your fault... but still... the guilt will ride on you forever man...

So yar... learn to save a life....

Got 2 contacts on a life-saving course liao... checked it out just now while swimming with Elton at Bedok Swimming Complex....

Today also just received a call.... from a female... think asking me to buy some dono what financial plan or something... don't even know her.... never say her company... and i don't know how she got my hp number...
And with all these suspicions... i rejected her outright....
Anyway... she caught me at a wrong time also... i was losing my C&C3 skirmish game....
And she also told me just 20minutes will do....
Siao arh... 20 minutes.... on my handphone... i no free incoming leh.... (actually this was my biggest reason to reject her... haha)

But what actually amazes me was the way she retorted... nice and skillfully...

The first one she said was," How can you be not interested in something which i haven't even explained what it is?"
That got me stunned for awhile... but i still continue to nicely tell her i not interested... if 5 minutes i still listen... but 20 minutes.... no no no....

Then she also said something like even if in the end i don't go into any deal with her... then at least can be friends or something....
Haha... she should have done her homework man.... a girl want to befriend me~~~~
Wait long long arh...... ^_^

And yar.... so... i just kindly tell her i want to discontinue the conversation (so that i can continue my game).... and that's it....

Actually.... another main reason why i don't like this type of anonymous anyhow call... is that because i kena some prank calls before in my camp... when i was doing COS... a"DO" called to say got some NUS student want to do some survey (which turns out to be a sex survey???)...
The strange thing is that.... the DO that day was my PC... who happens to be playing DOTA beside me~~~~

Oops..... shouldn't have said that out... haha.... anyway... ORD lor...

At first i thought nothing of it... then continue to talk abit lor... see what's up... then i think she sensed something wrong... because i keep stopping to listen to my DO and friend... and i think i said i busy liao... then she just cut the phone...
And later... my friend explained that he also kena before... then in the end the girl ask him to lend her $3000...... -_-"

And so... from then on..... i was always wary of anonymous weird phone calls... especially female ones.... no thanks to Mr LDJ.... who used to play such tricks on me as well....

And yar.... so... just a reminder... don't just take up stranger's call.... be careful... of course... unless you got free incoming... and you are bored... why not?
It's fun to chit chat nonsenses.... haha....

Well... till i get free incoming then maybe i will talk more... but if you are trying to talk to me on my handphone... i will only give you 5 minutes to finish your crap before i shut the phone...
And mind you.. 5 minutes is the luxury standard already.... normally 1 minute i finish liao...

So long.....

Jobless man....

Well... it's sort of confirmed... i am not getting any job soon.... the IBM one sort of gone liao... because they have expressed concern over my MK trip to the job agency... guess it doesn't fit into their schedule...

And so... according to the job agent... it's most probably not successful....

Oh well... no choice man.... looking for a new one now...

Think a more practical solution would be to join HK and his company liao... since they are looking for people....

Haiz... sianz....

Idling for so long sure is not a good thing man... wasting resources....

Oh yar... went to watch "Shooter" yesterday... rather good show... cool guns and stuffs... and it really shows how powerful a US Marine is... kena shot twice still can run and swim... cool man....

And based on some reviews of my basketball playing style(filmed by Directors Tan and Ong, with my phone...), i realised that i am actually quite slow moving around....
And so although i can dominate in the court with my height... my speed is seriously dragging me down... and honestly... i think my playing style not very nice... abit ugly.... haha...
Hey, i'm honest with myself man....

Well... that's with comparisons to the super cool moves made by NBA players....

So... i have decided... going to make some improvements man... basketball is actually a very cool game at the advanced level... so yar... got to play it cool and slick... like a good shaver (no link???)....
I want to train till i reach the level where i can play well, and look good.... haha....

On the way there liao... yar....

That'as about all.....

Mr Lim.... looking for a part-time job....

Victoria Thy SONS are we, and we will not forget...

Just came back from a dialogue session at VS...

All in all... it was a rather emotional dialogue...due to emotions pouring out from Victorians... all the way back from 1940(Victoria primary school one... that one really old bird), to seasoned birds like me... and new birds... those just graduated one... but i think that was mainly because that everyone actually came with a different thought..... because there is word floating around of VS possibly going co-ed, or doing a merger with VJC.... but in fact... it was mainly a session for discussion of what we can do to improve VS...

Personally though.... judging from the speech of the VJC principal... who keeps reminding everyone that he is only 4 months into the job... i think they are trying to do a co-ed of VS... plus merge with VJC from there.... to do the IP....
That's my personal thought... don't quote me....

The whole session started with a rather fierce response from some of the very old boys... because everyone had a different idea of what the session is for... so alot keep complaining that the 2 principals are not answering alot of questions and beating around the bush... which i found that it was rather true....
I actually didn't have much of an idea of what they are talking about after sitting there for half an hour.... partially because i went late.... but yar... it just seem to me that they are really skirting the issue...

But after some rather straight to the point, and without the usual VS style lameness and funniness.... i think the 2 principals finally got what the whole lot of us actually wanted to know...
Examples are like what you can skirt the issues, but skirt are out for me... haha.... LaMe...

Some points to share... which i personally agree whole-heartedly...

Well... firstly...it is definitely true that there is the risk of destroying a 130+ years of Victorian tradition if the principals decides to go co-ed...for the sake of IP.. because i believe it will come naturally in order to maintain the sex balance in VJC.... i suppose... haha...
And like what 1 guy pointed out... what will happen if the whole thing doesn't work out in the end?A single mistake could ruin the tradition built up over so many years by so many Victorians... Are the principals going to take responsibility after their 4 years stint at the school? Are they going to change VS back to an all boys school, and throw the girls out?

Honestly though.... the VS spirit is what we VS guys created.... not saying that girls can't have it... but it would just be so different.... it's just so wrong.... weird.... crazy....
Can you imagine a cedar boy? Or a Crescent boy? Or St. Nic boy?
Anyway.... that's besides the point... the VS spirit is a guy's thing... just like how acting cute is a girl's thing.... ^_^ ( don't curse me for this.... it's just an example)

Alot of people also pointed out that the talks of merger or going co-ed is basically all about academic results....
To a certain extend... it is true that VS don't have very good academic results at the end...
But education... is not just all about academic.... it is suppose to be an all rounded holistic approach to nurture a a person to be successful in life... and we do have alot to show.... like our President S.R. Nathan... and i just found out from the heritage center... our ex-CDF, LG Ng is also an old boy.... cool man...

What VS is nurturing are actually people who can be successful in life.... not just academically... you can't find that else where... it's the one and only Victoria tradition...
But supporting facts from another speaker though.. is that VS academic is definitely improving... and our sports and CCA cultures remaining as strong ,if not better...

So... like 1 guy mention... why mend something that is not broken? We are definitely not lousy.... but of course.. we can be better.... which i feel should be the real point of the dialogue with the old boys... they should have mentioned from the start how we want to improve VS.. such that it can achieve well in both academically, and in CCAs... as well in life... while retaining the tradition... boy's style...

IP is one of the way.. but it is not the only way... surely there are several other academic models we can choose to take, and not just following what the other top schools are doing... we should do things the VS style...

Personally... i still believe in VS being what VS is... and always will be... an institution to nurture boys into successful leaders in life.... what they really need to do is to improve the quality of teachers in the school.... like spending money to maintain good teachers in the school...

It is common sense that by taking in only the brightest of the cohort, will eventually lead to the school to come in tops as well...
But what would be even better is that the school can take normal grades students, and them into intelligent leaders in all aspect...
I believe this would do more justice to the world.... instead of letting only the smartest get the best teachers and education system...

Co-ed is a definitely no... but merger or IP is still an option... a suggestion would be to take in girls from sister schools....

Some say VS guys are pulling down the results of VJC.... i won't comment on that... but seriously... take a look at who is contributing to the sports medals of the college? Cross country boys... where are they all from?
All from VS... definitely....
Some examples of Victorians being successful in other colleges.... SRJC 16th ODAC President... who is he? Where is he from? ( it's a fact... don't deny it.... Muahaha....)

So is the ODAC VP... health and fitness club VP...TPJC Fitness club President.... just to name a few....
Where are they all from? ( all the same one lar... haha)


The point is there.... Victorians are definitely good... in their own ways... and we excel differently.... adding girls in is definitely wrong... and you risk spoiling the blood and sweat of all of us who has done so much for the school...
Improve the academic results with good teachers.... spend more resources on an all rounded holistic education for the boys... don't bother even looking into co-ed man.... this is my personal appeal....


We are what we are.... VS boys... and i bet those who just joined VJC.... be it boys or girls... will never be able to understand what is the true Victorian spirit...

At the end of it all... we ended with the school song... and surprisingly... i remembered every single word... even after not singing it for so long.... i can't even remember the melody of my college song now.... haha....
And yep... the signature spelling cheer....

The only regret is that... i didn't start one myself... because my group there very small... only 4 of us... then like not much strength.... or else usually i would be the one to start 1....
Well... too bad.... too few of my closer friends are there.... maybe at the next forum... jio more to come... then i will definitely lead one man.... haha....

Awww.... what fond memories....

Oh yar... also bought a VS dry-fit shirt... quite nice... but rather expensive... $25.... kao.... they really know how to make money from old boys man... but well... the passion is definitely priceless..... ^_^

Some rather fresh newsjust found out while talking on the msn with Baldwin... the new principal of VS is actually Baldwin's cousin!!!!

Cool man.... from Havard one leh... don't play play... haha....
Wa... if he younger abit... then everyday no need to study also can go VJC....


This one is super lengthy.... well... my VS spirit is still burning high within me... haha.... so got to talk more... i'm not too sure if the sequence of my points go well.... and maybe i did repeat some points... but yar.... basically the main points are there....

That's all.....

Victoria Thy Sons are we, and we will not forget......

Job interviewed....

Went for my job interview in the afternoon.... met up with Mr Ong and 2 of his female colleagues before that for lunch....
Apparently.. i think they want to meet Mr Ong's friend... or a potential colleague... haha... rather funny people....

The interview wise...nothing much... basically it was more of an evaluation of me for them.... just check up on my availability and stuff...

Rather tight security... need a pass to go anywhere...

Well.... should be hearing from Adecco soon .. on whether i can start work or not...

That means... well... i still got some free time.... got to wait again for a reply....

Haiz... at least better than that job agency in Tampinese... sign up from last week till now haven't got any calls yet.... no point waiting for them liao...

At least this IBM job got some progress... just hope that in the end i am hired... if not... then it will be another long wait... i think i'll just go back Sabah to help my parents out easier le... find job until rather sick of it liao...

Another episode of "Hidden Treasures".... the ending this time is rather sad... and i think the sub theme song really complemented the ending scene... makes the whole thing just so sad....
I think Gigi Leung's voice has a certain sadness in it... and that makes the song just so perfectly sad... very touching song.... maybe she sang it after her break-up..... (just kidding... no offense...)
Hope she will release the song in her album or something... i confirm will seek it out... haha...
Right now... listening to the song form the website... the quality rather bad... so yar... abit sian... but at least better than nothing....

Well.... that's that....

VS unite, we show our might... Boy's style...

Recently i received an email from my long time never meet friend, Edwin... regarding some VS forum this coming Wednesday... think it's about the merger with VJC or something... then will have girls in VS next time...

Honestly... i don't support the idea.. as will all true blue Victorians... it's just too weird to accept... imagine girls in our PE T-shirt??? (As mentioned by Heok Kia...)

Totally weird...

But after having been out from school for so long... and learning the ways of life in the real world... i do realise one thing...

Change... being the only constant in the world... is bound to take place every now and then... and being in a real world... there will definitely be changes, for the better, but at the expense of tradition...

Take VS in the beginning... if i hasn't evolved from a Malay boy's school to waht it is today.... i wouldn't have the chance to gain what i have from VS.... to meet some of the best friends i have... to feel what it is to be called a true blue Victorian....

Our world is a money making based society... it's that way no matter how you try to sway away form it... money making is the basis for most things.... so if being a single-sex school isn't making much profits... i believe the change will definitely take place... sooner or later...

As much as i would want to preserve the very tradition that has grown me...made me what i am today.. i know what i say is only feather to what the board of directors will eventually do....

And so.... even if i can't change reality... at least i know... the memories of the tradition will stay with me... for as long as i can remember...
For as long as it last....i am proud... that i was once called.... a true son of Victoria School.....

And i'll try to make it this Wednesday night... to tell them that...


On a lighter note... kinda happy... finally found the canotnese sub theme song for "Hidden Treasures"... the something moon or moon something one....found out that it was sung by Gigi Leung... no wonder the voice so nice... just too bad that i can't download it... it's from their website...
But at least i know who sing it... next time it should be out on YouTube... ^_^

Disappointed.... pissed...

Was rather unhappy this weekend.... Haiz.... guess that's life lar...

What to do? Suck it up lor.... did alot of that in the army liao....

Glad i chose not to blog directly that day... or else i am going to say very mean things...

Gave myself sometime to think over the issue... to cool down....

I guess.... no one's at fault... the only fault lies in myself... being too naive...
Everyone have their own choices to make... and since the decision's been made... i've got nothing to say....

At least though... it made me see things clearer now... realise how naive this relationship is.... no point in me giving my best efforts anymore.... it's just so disappointing...
What's the point of rearing a dog that will bite you back? (Example only... but i don't mind rearing real dogs...)

If it has to be this way... so be it.... let's all be at that level... no point making myself so pissed off and sick....

I will learn to accept... and adapt...
Unhappiness is such a bad mood... but it can't be helped that i am feeling that way... because of things being done against me....

Haiz..... what are friends for man.....

Well... that's that...

Another day... being a jobless...

Yep... another day... jobless....

Not much of a big deal... just that getting really sian... not earning money.. but just spending money...don't like that feeling man...

Anyway.... just some final decision i have made... i will wait for the appointment next Tuesday... at least get a better paying job... and due to some advise from my buddies... decided to ditch "Recruit Express" liao... because they do take out alot of your pay for their commission.... so yar...

Met up with my MK team yesterday at PS.... had dinner together while discussing the final details of our trip... Luis is still slacking... surprised that he is not sick of it... everyday just play WOW... don't want to work....
Nelson is working like a pig... teaching alot of tuition....
Heok Kia... selling his ass in Raffles place...
We confirmed the details liao... now just to wait for the day to come...

Bought a Deuter bag on the same day...after deciding to go walk around PS after the dinner... chanced upon a Carrefour sale... then bought the bag... very cool and nice ... it's meant for snow-sports... but well.... it's just too cool and useful man....
Decided to buy after thinking of getting a new school bag too... then can bring for MK trip... yep... going to go lighter liao...

Hmm.... was recently looking at my leg... my corn is still there... after almost a month... surprisingly... think i got to go check it out with a doctor liao....
And my sole seem to be rotting... think the bacteria from the army days is still around... rather gross.... think can check it out with the doctor together liao...

Well... other than that... i am still fighting fit... well.. at least i can still complete 4.8km of run... after joining my brother for a run there....
Going to start doing something man... don't want to end up dragging the team at MK...

I guess... after i can confirm go work le... i will definitely feel more normal... or else really slack until cannot take it....

So long... go play C&C 3~~~

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

Another jobless day...

Sianz... having spent another day jobless.... Haiz....

Well... at least got some progress le.... the job agency finally called me about the IBM job... but the bad thing is that... the interview is only scheduled at next Tuesday... due to some internal matters...

Another thing though... i applied a few jobs at jobstreet.com liao... then recruit express called me to go for an interview this afternoon... went and got my paper work done... then maybe can wait for some good news from them....
But from what the interviewer said... think my chances of getting an administrative job is rather low... because apparently Microsoft Excel is very important for it... and i'm not good with the advance components of it...
But well.... can learn one what.... so yar... see how lor... been doing some exploration of the programme myself... shouldn't be much of a problem...

Tried out abit of the C&C 3 game liao.... rather difficult to play... got to learn everything again.... but yup... it sure is a promising game...

Suddenly thought... if there is a $7 per hour photographer's assistant job... with OT included... think it would be a rather good job... can learn about photography... and also earn money... and the best is if the work place is at the east....

Oh well... really hope to get working soon.... now spending money only... not earning... then also everyday at home doing nothing... getting sick of it liao..

Going to meet up with my gang tomorrow night... discuss the final plans for the MK trip...

Hmm.... yup.. that's about all.... trying to crap more... but my life now is seriously just so boring.... -_-"

A stone in me settled....

No.. i didn't get any stones in my body or something.... at least not that i know of...

But at least... just now.. i finally settled the big question mark in my mind...after some consultation with my brother....

Yep... went for another interview today at the company... wear formal somemore... and the bus was very hot...
And after some rather detailed briefing.... i finally understand how the whole thing works...

Actually... i guess... no matter how they change their format... it's still an MLM based thing... and honestly.... i was actually quite convinced at that point of time... i still think it is a very good plan... but at the end of the day... i seriously doubt if their products are that sellable... at least not to the extend that i can earn quick bucks that easily...
And judging from a small survey i did with my friends.... it proved my point....

It's true that if you really put your heart and soul into it... i believe it is still possible... just that as with all MLMs... you will make some enemies... unless you target strangers altogether... which i think it will be harder to make your mark then...

And so.... finally sorted out my thoughts... and finally rejected them on their last and final interview tomorrow... so at least settled a big question mark....

And well... finally gave Adecco a call just now... requested for some work at the IBM thing.... waiting for some news now...
Looks like i will have to wait for awhile more ... before i am finally making myself useful....

Oh yar.... and my Mount Kinabalu trip with my buddies are confirmed already... heading there on 3rd May.... i will be coming back on 11th May... the rest on 9th May...
Attempting the 2nd route now... the Mesilau route... it's longer... and supposedly tougher... but at least after finishing this route... i will truly become a MK climber liao... completed all the routes available...

And there is a possibility that i will be organising another tour for my cousins this December... so yar.... i got a part-time job to do liao... MK guide man.... haha...

Yep... so long...

Oh yar... 1 more thing... anyone got the song from the "Hidden treasures" serial.. channel 8 at 1900Hrs one... the what moon light thing... a Cantonese song... sounds very nice... do send me fi you have!!!

Big big question mark....

That's what i am having now.. a real big question mark.... over my supposedly part-time job interview at this firm... same initial as my name, plus a group...
*not sure whether to say out the name... later kena sued or something...

Anyway... yar.. first thing was... the place was hard to find... but i finally managed to find it.. after walking around for awhile...

Then the first impression that i had when i entered the place... was that it was another MLM company... afterall... the office show cast a certain product...

Then i was asked to fill up some application form... then so coincidentally... met a former 4G classmate there too... Hazard or something... haha... very long never meet up with them... then well.. chat abit...

Then after that... went on to meet the interviewer together.. with another guy also looking for a part-time job... then well... after a long talk... still don't really know how i am suppose to earn money... then also forgot to ask.... haha...

In a way.... the talk seem to make everything very un-MLM... it sounded rather different... then seem rather interesting...it's like a month of sales, then move on to human management thingy... then like quite attractive.... so i actually agreed to another round of interview tomorrow morning.. at 1100Hrs...

But the truth dawned upon me just now... when i just checked with my brother.... yep... it's another MLM company... he got a friend do until so du lan that he don't want to ever talk about it...

Diao.....

Oh well... tomorrow just go to confirm... with a defensive front... yar... since agree already.... not very nice not to go....
That's me man... too nice a fellow... haha..

Job search....

Went for a job interview just now... don't really like the terms.. pay quite low... weekends have to work to earn more... then like not very suitable...

Oh well.. continue to look.... called a few to advertisements to check out liao... tomorrow going for another interview...

But seriously... think after much comparison and thinking... i still think the IBM job at Expo... where JK is working... is the better one... location is near... pay is good.... should be rather ideal for me... wouldn't mind working more OT... so near...haha...

Well... keeping it as a last resort... by tomorrow if i don't get any good offers... think i will go for the IBM job liao... yep...

That's all...

Huh?April Fool's?

Well... as shown.. today is nothing more then a normal day ...April Fool's is for immature kids to play around their classmates and teachers.... mature busy adults (like me).... no way man...it's long gone.... but maybe because there is no one to play a joke on too... haha....

In fact... i nearly forgot that it was April Fool's ... until the SHG mentioned it... we went Hougang mall to check out laptops and printers just now...

About time i get myself a laptop too.... initially i had wanted to custom build myself a desktop.... but after some advise from my brother... and having been using his iBook G4 this few days... i found that... well... laptops is definitely more convenient... space saving... and with the specifications of laptops being as powerful, if not better than desktops... why bother buying a desktop?
The only minus point is that... well.. you can't really custom build a laptop... or at least i haven't heard of such things...
If that era comes... well... laptops will definitely be the best man....

At the moment though... think i will just look for a good laptop... most probably get it at an IT fair.... because they usually give more freebies.... then should have an integrated webcam.... Core 2 dual and above chip... 1GB DDR2 RAM.... at least 120GB memory... and the rest agar agar should be ok le....
Widescreen too.... around 15" and above should be good.... then can use at home and for work...

Hopefull it will cost just around $2000....

But i think i will be spending alot this way...still want to go for LASEIK.... want to buy new furniture for my room.... Kaoz.... i am feeling guilty just thinking of it.... really like don't earn so much... yet spending so much....

I think personally... as a human... i can say... really can never be self-satisfied one.... after got this, want that... after got that, want this... all money spending stuffs...

But i guess... as a consolation... at least this things that i want is considered reasonable stuffs... LASEIK wise... after getting so many ball rammed at my face... broken spectacles after spectacles.... want to wear sun-glasses have to wear contact lens... then drive car always have to see sun shine when i wearing spectacles because i can't wear sun-glasses that way.... i still think i should do it...
Maybe there is some vanity factors involved... but ultimately... it really is a very convenient thing... perfect sight.... it's every short-sighted people's dream man....

Furniture wise... it's to prepare myself for University liao.... get a bigger table... then can study properly.... haha.... sounds like a lousy excuse.... but well.. it's true....

Well... been crapping alot liao... tomorrow have to go for some sort of a job interview liao... jioed DJ to go together....

Oh yar... just a brief mention of the ODAC camp at Ubin yesterday.... rather fun day... enjoyed biking around the island with some of my other ODACians... especially riding through dirt roads...
Had wanted to bring my own bicycle along... but decided against it because it was too troublesome... though it's cheaper in a sense...
Well... maybe some other time...

Had wanted to meet up and talk with my former ODAC mentor... Mr Goh... but too bad he not around... in fact... no one familiar was around...except for Mr Koh... aka KKK...
All the teachers have changed... become strangers liao.... and none of the batch of ODACians that we knew came.... kinda sad.....
Then from the way i see it... there seem to be alot of problems with the new ODAC teachers... think they prefer to spend their time idling in coffee shops then to sweat it out with their ODACians.... Haiz....
And 1 thing i seriously don't get it... why are they dancing around the 2 female teachers who seem rather uninterested in the whole camp, instead of around the camp fire?
I mean... they are not very nice looking or whatever.... and they are definitely not very enthusiastic... and the real attraction of the camp fire should be the camp fire( hence the name...), and not the 2 teachers....

Oh well.... some complaining here and there.... guess it just sort of brings me back to my ODAC days... always wanting to do the best out of everything... expecting alot as well...
But an advise from a fellow ODACian sort of made me realise something... i gues... in the end... all it really matters is that they have enjoyed themselves... in their own way... lousy discipline or not.... got good track records or not... got win medals or not... it suddenly don't seem so important....

Hmmm... just kinda regret that i didn't do as much as i wanted to back in my days.... thinking back... i realised that there is alot more that i could have done to make everything so much better... so much more that i could have achieved....
Honestly... i didn't have a clear goal when i took up the Presidency... and is my biggest regret... if i could turn back time... i would really go back to just make everything right again....

Oh well.... another personal sentiment story .... haha.... but i'm glad i learnt from my mistakes well... and at the very least... i knew my mistakes..... it's good enough for me...

Guess that's the way of life... learning from mistakes...^_^

That's all le.....
