My First day at a New Phase of Life

2009-06-08T23:27:00.002+08:00

Begin my day with a squeezy train ride to the Tanjong Pagar!

Never gotten a 我报 for a long time. haha!!

Staring up at the Land Mark building "Capital Tower"

This is the place for my taking off!!!

~~~~~~~~

Greeted by Jennifer and Regina

A long but yet brief introduction of the organisation

I was walked around the entire floor greeting my future colleagues.

Lucky half is on leave. imagine the names i need to remember

~~~~~~~~

Finally i settled down at my own cubicle. A bit isolated thou. :P

Looking at the small 12" IBM Think Pad

I hope that when i get to retail, my table will be more lifely.

~~~~~~~~

Our HR is extremely efficient becoz......

Tata..... Got all my name cards and access card

But the funny thing is.....

I will be getting new name cards and access card next week

from the retail side.....

Faint!!! haha!!! But very efficient!!!

~~~~~~~~

Well, wish myself luck and hope that i will perform my best!!

oH Budger!!

2009-05-22T00:41:00.005+08:00

Stupid Ass... Never give me wat he PROMISED!!!

~~~~~~~~

But None the Less, i Still manage to get what i want!!!!

First Class Honours!!

~~~~~~~~

Quite a good pay off for years of hardwork.

And an excellent bonus for my new job ahead!!

~~~~~~~~

Gambatte lor!!!!

2009-05-05T22:08:00.003+08:00

Better update something before this blog truly dies....

heehee!!!! ~~~~~~~~

Some Earth Hour Pictures to Share!!!

2009-03-30T09:45:00.004+08:00

Well, i think the EARTH HOUR event is quite a success!!

Looking at the participation rate, I think the msg of conservation

is spreading fast

But if this is only an annual event...

What help does it do!!

~~~~~~~~

I think, the true msg of the whole event is not about that 1 hour we spent in darkness.

(In fact, it wasn't really that dark.)

Its the urgency to realize that the only planet we have

is dying under our own creations.

~~~~~~~~

Looking at the pictures during and after for the whole event

i couldn't help but think...

Do we really need all those exterial lightings for the buildings?

Is it a must to have them or purely a beautifying act.

Is it really necessary to have all the huge advertisment lid up at nite?

Is it really worth it to just stand out among other buildings with powerful

spotlights in the darkness?

After all, the people who are bearing the eventual consequence is us.

The consumers are the people that is footing the bill

not the rich landlords of the respective buildings.

Our kids in the future are the one paying for the price of a

Global Warming Earth!!

~~~~~~~~

The eventual meaning is not about voting for EARTH!!!

Its about knowing why u are voting for EARTH!!!

Vote for Earth to survive!!!

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~ The way i look at it, The Sail did not participated in the event!!

Shame on u!!!
~~~~~~~

This truly looks like they are calling for BATMAN to come isn't it? haha!!
~~~~~~~

The Sky looks prettier when the lights were off isn't it?

So do the pyramids i think!
~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

For some buildings, i think its still better to keep their lights on!!

The Agbar Tower looks like something else to me when its totally dark!!

*Wink Wink* Hee!!

EARTH HOUR 2009

2009-03-09T10:53:00.007+08:00

Lets Protect the only EARTH we have!

Vote for EARTH HOUR 2009

by switching off ur lights on 28th March 2009 8.30 - 9.30pm!

A Brand New Year!!!!

2009-01-01T21:23:00.004+08:00

Well, brand new year with lots of things to look for!

But of course a good degree is something on my mind!! haha!!

Well, before looking ahead,

look back at some of the things i had been doing for the last week of 2008!!!

~~~~~~~~

A brand new pair Adidas Adiprene track shoes!!

Best for my running to tune my body back to good conditions!!

Hee!!! No more excuse of not running liao!!

~~~~~~~~Then for my new year dinner!!!! Haha!!

A simple dinner at SOUP RESTAURANT with my girl girl!!

Tried out the famous Ginger Chicken!!

Not bad. the ginger garlic sauce is excellent!!~~~~~~~~

Then for today!!! the first day of 2009

I spent it with my 3 darlings

Went to East Coast Park with the kids for their all so longing Roller Blading!!

Look at how happy they are!!

Its very tiring but very fulfilling to spend it with them!! Look at how cute and happy our darling Clare is!!! haha!!

~~~~~~~~

Death Sentence??

2008-12-01T12:12:00.002+08:00

Read from YY's Blog today regarding her post with Death

The Humanity of Death Sentence!!

~~~~~~~

I totally agree that there should be changes towards

punishments for Terrorist attacks!

DEATH SENTENCE is NOT ENOUGH!!!

They should be punished to point of not letting them die

but rather.... let the bastards suffer for the rest of their lives

Cut off their hands that plant the bomb

Cut off their legs that deliver the attacks

Cut off their tongues that spread terrorism!!!!!

~~~~~~~

The true victims are not juz those had been murdered in the attacks

But the love ones of those victims!!!

The pain and sorrow that was left behind for the living!!!

~~~~~~~

Thus, Death Sentence for the Terrorist is a mercy for them

They should suffer beyond juz plain death but torture!!!

A Tragedy!!!

2008-11-29T19:14:00.002+08:00

I Believe all Singaporeans who heard the news today were shocked

Ms Lo Hwei Yen was murdered by terrorist of the Mumbai terror attack

~~~~~~~~

I can now understand why the Americans decided to start the war at Pakistan!

Seeing your own people being murdered is really terrible

I condemn all those BASTARDS who start a terrorist attack

Especially on an innocent woman!!!

~~~~~~~~

Maybe its time to think of new anti-terrorist strategies!!!

Apparently the current ones are not effective enough!!

We should just bomb the hell out of all their hideouts

Come on, dump a nuke in Pakistan and Iraq and end this for good

~~~~~~~~

Do not think I'm being irrational

I'm suggesting the most suitable solution for the most suitable candidates

~~~~~~~~

The Photo!!

2008-11-28T16:02:00.005+08:00

A very memoriable picture!!!

The 1 Year Anniversary Dinner @ Parliment House!!

With MM Lee K Y

Freedom @ Last!!!!

2008-11-27T15:15:00.000+08:00

Exam is over......

WOWOWOWOWOWO!!!!

A lovely dinner!!!

2008-11-21T15:20:00.003+08:00

Congratulations on Business China's 1 Year Anniversary!!

I was very honoured to be invited for the event

with MM Lee as the VIP!!

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

Well, have to really dress up for it thou!! haha!!

It was a good experience but we are definitely the youngest there!!

In fact, when Ee Seng and I arrived at the Parliament house

The guest over there was pretty shock

They must be wondering:"Who are these 2 young kids!!"

All the name card we got are either CEOs or Directors

~~~~~~~~

I was pretty lucky to make acquaintances with our

Deputy Prime Ministers during the cock tail reception

But the highlight is the later part......

when Ee Seng and I walk up to MM Lee during the interval

Haha, wat a nerve racking experience

Well, at least i shake MM's hand and took a photo with him!!

Pretty exciting and fun!!

And we scared the hell out of MM's security personnel

haha!!!!

~~~~~~~~

A very lovely dinner with lovely food!!

And a once in a life time acquaintances!!!

~~~~~~~~

Finally!!!!

2008-11-12T09:45:00.004+08:00

Finally, the joker is been taken into custody!!!!!

~~~~~~~ However, this slimy old bastard is too cunning

There will still be a lot to see from now on!!

Everything is uncertain till he is gone for good!!

~~~~~~~~

I hope the local government is strong enough this time round

It will be a great disappointment on their justice system

if they let him loose eventually!!

~~~~~~~~

Come on Txxwxx!!! Time to wake up from your senses!!!

~~~~~~~~

Got to go. HRM paper today!!! haiz!!!! Stupid module!!

Business China Event

2008-11-10T23:36:00.002+08:00

Amid my busy studying period

I was invited to attend a ceremony by

Business China & NTU

~~~~~~~~

中国改革开放30年

回顾与展望

~~~~~~~~

Well, hate to dress up for week ends!! I think that together with my 2 other friends

we are the youngest invited guest in the front rows

full of old man exchanging name cards

well, that is the working life

~~~~~~~~

All in all, the event was quite insightful

At least i get to see quite a handful of

our local successful businessmen!!!

~~~~~~~~

Do anybody want to hire me??? haha!!

Exciting??

2008-11-05T09:58:00.002+08:00

The latest results as i wake up from bed!!!

Well, i tot its all going to be over when i wake up!!

haha... apparently not... the fight is still going on!!!

~~~~~~~~

Well. either one of them got elected

we are still in for a tough time ahead!!

haha!! think positive... haha!!

Impressive and Touched!!!

2008-11-04T10:02:00.005+08:00

A new TV show for Monday!!!

As i wasn't that much of a local TV fan

Thus, this show is really something that captures me!!

~~~~~~~~

I'm sure a lot of you had saw the show before.

It do not have prizes to be won

No super stars as guest performers

And definitely no delicacies for you drew over

~~~~~~~~

But instead, its filled with

rubbish (literally), cockroaches, lizards and smelly odour!!

And hosted by 2 person whom i din really like before:

Christopher Lee & Quan Yi Feng

~~~~~~~~

But i was deeply touched every time i watch the show.

Seeing the lives of many unfortunate people in the society,

How one sick family member can bring down the whole family,

Yet this people are getting by each day unnoticed!

~~~~~~~~

The volunteers and the kind people help to get their life back

To revamp their living conditions:

First by cleaning up their house.

then sort out their emotional and social needs

~~~~~~~~

I'm impressed by the efforts the volunteers put in for the needy

They are not just there for the show.

But they are truly there to help!!

~~~~~~~~

I'm even more impressive with the 2 host!

They used to be known to me as:

Arrogant and big-headed(Christopher)

Rude and fierce (Yi feng)

~~~~~~~~

But my view for them changed a 180'

The way they extended they help and working their Axx off

really show a different side of them.

something that touched the audience deeply!!!

~~~~~~~~

All in all, the show is a rare at times like this

But its in fact truly wat we need to see!!

(Even thou i felt a bit of propaganda involved)

A Happy Bad Day!!

2008-10-30T21:19:00.005+08:00

A long week of projects, presentations and quizzes

Almost coming to an end thou.

~~~~~~~~

Today had my last important quiz

well, not bad i think

at least i finished and get the correct answer

~~~~~~~~

Just as i was in that jolly good mood

i got back my struct 3 quiz paper

the disaster i had yesterday

~~~~~~~~

Well, it certainly came in time

Just nice to spoil my day when its beginning to look gd!

Got a B!!!!!!!!!!!

Not too bad you think???

But majority of the pple got A- and above

Now think again..

~~~~~~~~

No idea why i did so badly

even thou i seem to get more correct answers

maybe i juz dun fit the lecturer's perception

of understanding his teaching.

~~~~~~~~

I'm juz pretty disappointed with myself now.

All in all, A pretty good day turn bad

~~~~~~~~

its time to drown myself in my sorrows!!!

New Blazer!!!!

2008-10-30T21:11:00.003+08:00

Haiz...Another dinner event that cost me a fortune
Well, anyway, buying nice clothes cheer myself up thou
Hee!!! A not that costly suit from

~~~~~~~~

Tada..... TOPMAN.... Hee....
~~~~~~~~

A nice slim cut suit for my SCCCI event
~~~~~~~~
Well, got to really tighten my belts for the rest of the month liao

Anybody treating me lunch???

~~~~~~~~

Think Positive!!

2008-10-28T19:38:00.003+08:00

Well, everywhere we go now. there is this new msg that hangs around!

"Think Positive!"

This is our society. we have to be taught on what to do

all the time.....

ranging from the current finacial crisis

to handling our lives.

We can always rely on our Government

To step in and tell us what to do!!

~~~~~~~~

Some might simply regard that as a good gesture

but it also means that we are always relying

Just like what happen to Lehman's Minibond issue

We finally realised that we are not that well protected.

Thus, its time to learn to be smart and independent

when handling ur own money.

~~~~~~~~

Looking for help everytime when u fail

is not the ultimate solution for problems.

Have to be a smart and thinking person

Learn to grow up people

Learn to adapt to a life of no spoon feeding!!

~~~~~~~~

Another funny thing

Even we were told to think positive

Everyday i flip the newspaper

it all begins with:

"Times are bad!"

"The economy is slowing now!"

"Anticipate for slow growth next year!"

"More layoff to be expected!"

~~~~~~~~

So one side of the ad is telling u to be positive

the other page is giving u all the gloomy news

Very smart!!!!

~~~~~~~~

Well, now i have to think positive

for my next few quiz to come!!!

Haiz!!!!!

Cool Bike???

2008-10-24T13:16:00.004+08:00

Saw this photo on STOMP's Home Page!!

I have no idea that Pocket Bikes were allow here!!

~~~~~~~~

This joker is going to be a big spoiler.

Knowing clearly how our local authorities function

the minute they see this, they will ban it

I pity the other players who have to stay hidden, thanks to him

~~~~~~~~

Seriously, sometimes we have to learn to cut some slag

If we are to live up to our democratic name.

then act like a free country.

~~~~~~~~

Allow others to do what they like

as long as they dun injure others.

But then, there is always this bunch of sour grapes around

jealous of wat others have or can do.

~~~~~~~~

For example:

In school. people happily discussing during a stupid quiz

there will be idiots reporting to the lecturers

Just becoz u have no friends to share answer with u

dun be a back stabber lah!!

~~~~~~~~

In life, take it easy. or u will be stress to hell!!!

Liars......

2008-10-22T20:14:00.003+08:00

Bloody idiot. bang my bumper liao still want to deny

Sometimes, only when bad things happen

then you will be able to see the evil of human nature

~~~~~~~~

Well, its ok then. take u to court is not a problem

Just you wait. if i lose. the judge is so dead

Same goes to the workshop who did this.

~~~~~~~~

Advice for all. Next time u involved in an accident

Dun be as naive as me.

Ask the idiot to sign a letter acknowledging his fault

If not... Call the police.

Feel free to jam the PIE or CTE for all u care

Its jam most of the time anyway

~~~~~~~~

Well, wish me luck in claiming the fee then!!!!

Bloody liar!!!!

Worst Bike Injury!!!

2008-10-18T11:44:00.003+08:00

Well, Biking is more than just fun
Its dangerous too....

Well, it was not so bad.

Just a slight shifted of the shoulder bones and my left arm

~~~~~~~~

Well, at least i'm a right handed. haha!!

Lets hope i can recover soon.

What i dun want!!!!

2008-10-14T22:29:00.002+08:00

Well, came back from another recruitment talk today!!

That's my part time CCA now. haha!!

Attending recruitment and networking events

~~~~~~~~

Sometimes i really dun noe why i'm so eager with these things

In fact, among my friends,

i'm the only one who is worried about future career perspectives

Whether its in C&S or banking, it doesn't matter

~~~~~~~~

Well, maybe i have too much things on my mind liao

knowing what i want might not always be a good thing

~~~~~~~~

That's becoz, from all the networkings i attended

There is always a common phrase from the speakers

"When i graduated, i din noe what i wan.

so i stumble upon this xxxxx job"

So, a lot of the people got into the company

din noe what that industry is doing

or they din noe what to do at all

~~~~~~~~

Isn't that funny?? Maybe...

i should draft out what i dun want instead of what i want then.

hahaha!!!!

Another Boring Networking Event

2008-10-10T18:59:00.002+08:00

Well, Too desperate to look for job liao??

Or just can't seem to get rid of my desire to join banking...

~~~~~~~~~

I dun noe that either.

But one thing is for sure, i dun really care now...

Becoz if they wan me, they will give me a call for interview

if not, then i will just have to be TC Boy's colleague then.

Not so bad after all since i know my line of job so well.

~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes, its really weird to think

why am i so put off by Civil all of sudden?

Maybe i just dun wan the standard job everyday?

Some challenges that comes with meeting people?

Solving problem for a cause?

or just getting a more glamorous life??

~~~~~~~~~

Actually, i believe i had put in enough effort

to strive for what i wan to achieve

the rest is left to fate.

So maybe god can bless me for an interview with Citi Bank

Hmmm... If only......

~~~~~~~~~

Oh yah, met some friends at the UOB networking event today

and i see a familar face who i dun noe

that is Jia Ying's BF... Mr Ah Boon....

Maybe Jia Ying also wan to marry a banker? haha!!

~~~~~~~~~

Good day??

2008-10-06T22:00:00.002+08:00

Haha!!! Good news today!!!

Got $3000 from Bursary

yupee!!!!

Apparently the interview turns out to be quite a success

heehee!!!

~~~~~~~~~

Well, happy with the fact that there is extra cash

But slightly moody due to the gloomy economic ahead

banks are planning for major layoff this year!

Haiz!!! My future is so cloudy

~~~~~~~~~

I think I'm juz not good enough to join them at this stage

Change to Public sectors?? Or developers??

What a dilemma!!!!

~~~~~~~~~

Hopefully more good news turn up at my doorstep in near future!!

Moo!!!!

2008-09-23T00:33:00.002+08:00

Well, up till today, then i realise that

We are so well linked together

from every parts of the world

~~~~~~~~

From the recent financial crisis and credit issues in US

which spread all the way here,

forcing companies to shut down,

insurance policy holders to freak out,

future job seekers like me to be left totally lost

~~~~~~~~

Then the latest wave hit us as a form of milk...

I din realise milk is so popular in our menu

basically most of the things we eat has diary products in it

and thanks to the cheap manufacturing cost in China

we all ended up having the same suppliers

~~~~~~~~

Well, at least we can conclude one thing

that we really made GLOBALISATION

a dream come true har!!!!

~~~~~~~~

Well, got to go check my bank accounts and my kidney liao

bye!!!!

Interesting News article

2008-09-23T00:11:00.002+08:00

Read this article from yahoo today:

~~~~~~~~

Malaysia's 'worst in the world' taxis tarnish national image

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - -

The ads promoting "Malaysia: Truly Asia"

aim to welcome visitors with a warm smile to a prosperous and modern nation,

so the taxi fleet branded "the worst in the world" can come as a bit of a shock.

Even the locals are not spared

the shabby service of unkempt and hostile drivers

behind the wheels of decrepit vehicles

who refuse to use the meter, overcharge

and pick-and-choose which destinations

they will travel to.

In a survey by the local magazine The Expat,

some 200 foreigners from 30 countries

rated Malaysia the worst among 23 countries

in terms of taxi quality, courtesy, availability and expertise.

The respondents lashed the fleet as "a source of national shame"

and "a serious threat to tourists

rude bullies and extortionists".

Abdul Razak, operations manager for Dubai-based Citicab

which launched here in January,

said that even in poorer nations

such as Thailand and Indonesia,

taxis are smarter and the drivers far more courteous.
"I would say it is the worst in this region,

undoubtedly. I have travelled to all countries in this region

and our company operates taxis in many parts of the world.

The situation here is the worst I have seen," he told AFP.

"It is difficult for the roads and traffic department to take stern action,"

said a security officer at one city mall

as he watched the touts swoop.
"Taxi operators and the company which hold the licences

are all linked to some politician or another,"

he said. "Drivers here are ruthless

because they are unchecked by authorities

who are almost non-existent."

~~~~~~~~

The above article is taken from the AFP Yahoo news

Comments are not related to me and my blog

But its so true isn't it!! Hee!!!!

Job well done!

2008-09-23T00:06:00.002+08:00

Finally, the Temasek Foundation presentation is over

A great success for all those that put in so much effort in it

Even thou it was time consuming in the planning stage

but we still manage to impress the TF pple

and secured further fundings for the future students

so its still a job well done.

Now can get back to study......Faint!!!!

The Perfect Financial Storm!

2008-09-16T23:48:00.004+08:00

Old joke from my email

2008-09-10T09:37:00.002+08:00

An old joke from the net received a long time ago!

But is still funny thou.

Lets add some fun to current political issue in our neighbouring country

~~~~~~~~

GUESS WHO IS THE SMARTEST OF THEM ALL ? ( Humor )

General Musharraf, Dr Mahathir, Gloria Arroyo & Lee Kuan Yew

were sitting in a train.
The train goes through a tunnel and

it gets completely dark for the next 8 seconds.
Suddenly there is a loud kissing sound and then a slap !
The train comes out of the tunnel.
Arroyo and Musharraf are seated across each other, both looking perplexed.
Mahathir, seated across LKY, is bent over holding his face,
which is very red from an apparent big slap.
All of them remain diplomatic and nobody says anything.

~~~~~~~~

Musharraf is thinking : ' These Malaysians are all crazy after Arroyo.
Mahathir must have tried to kiss her in the tunnel.
Very proper that she slapped him !
~~~~~~~~
Arroyo is thinking : ' Mahathir must have moved to kiss me,
but kissed Musharraf instead and got slapped. '
~~~~~~~~
Mahathir is thinking : ' Damn it,
Musharraf must have tried to kiss Arroyo ;
she thought it was me and slapped me instead. Shit !! '
~~~~~~~~
Lee Kuan Yew is thinking :
' If this train goes through one more tunnel,
I could make another kissing sound and slap Mahathir again !! '
~~~~~~~~

The joke

2008-09-09T02:05:00.002+08:00

Before i forget, an intersting quote

from my Advance steel lecture aka the joke!!

~~~~~~~~

"class, this is a good book, i think you all must read it"

"i haven read it yet but it is a good book"

"and i think you all should read it"

~~~~~~~~

"Class, this is quite difficult"

"in fact, it is not so difficult lah"

"the only thing diffcult about this subject is that"

"it is a bit difficult"

~~~~~~~~

The above intelligence words comes out from non other the

joke, not the joker.

Mr Low Yi Ming!!!!

PMS

2008-09-09T02:01:00.003+08:00

Received an email from Prof Lim today

Title is : PMS

Meaning

Peer Mentoring Scheme

hmmm...

~~~~~~~~

Anyway, time to go to bed liao.

Special thanks to the Chxx Bxx Fan!!!

You big F@#ker!!!!

I.D

2008-09-03T00:14:00.003+08:00

What do you think I.D means?

Integrated Design?

Nope. thats not how i look at it.

it means:

Intensive Degan, Idiot Doctors, Insane Dogs!!!

~~~~~~~~

Bloody hell, you really think we have a lot of time is it?

You think that having numerous stupid projects like

Engineer and Society, Prof Comm, Advance steel.

And of course FYP is not enough for us to die?

So you decided to add in a weekly submission

Of works we learn for the past 2 years?

~~~~~~~~

You piece of dog shit

you bloody F@#ker!!!

You die lah. FAN S.C

Dun laugh. you are next Wong K.X!!!

who ever is the idiot that planned this module.

you will have your retribution

trust me. You kids will suffer even worst.

and i hope he go back home to you without even an Honours!!

~~~~~~~~

You AssHoles!!!

WALL.E!!!

2008-09-02T23:57:00.003+08:00

Went to Watch WALL.E offcially at the cinema today!

Very lovely show even i had watch the ... not so proper version of it online.

haha!! But still find the money well spent in the cinema.

~~~~~~~~

Realised that Pixas is really doing very well for their movies

Excellent graphic and amazed by their attention to details

I think it applies to everything about work

In order to succeed, you really have to put in the extra effort

Only that sets you apart from others.

~~~~~~~~

As for the story line.. Even very predictable

The Americans still manages to catch you attention.

A powerful female robot and a lovely little male robot

Seems such a contrast yet so click.

And loved Disney productions

becoz they always manage to pass a msg thru

yet without making it so stiff...

~~~~~~~

Well Done

Waste Alocation Load Lifter. Earth!!!!

Stress!!!!!!

2008-08-29T20:58:00.002+08:00

Very busy lately. Perhaps finally see everything is piling up!

My mind is constantly worrying about work and results!

~~~~~~~~

Pretty stressed up! If only there are 48 hours in a day!

Shouldn't we be more relax in Year 4??

Guess thats wrong assumption!

Haiz.... Juz hope that all this effort pays!!!

~~~~~~~~

Networking!!

2008-08-21T00:34:00.002+08:00

2 Days of tiring networking event!!!

But in fact its pretty enriching!

And i feel pretty good about it

feeling that i am getting closer to the banking industry everyday

haha!! i even dreamt about being offered 3 jobs.

i think i really think too much liao!!

~~~~~~~~

But still, i was in fact really being offered by citibank to join their

MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATE PROGRAMME

Still thinking about it, need some professional advice on that!

After their huge loss from the sub-prime crisis

is it still a wise choice to join them???

~~~~~~~~

haiz!! feels that the working life is really getting very near.

A medal for Singapore at last!!!

2008-08-17T22:20:00.003+08:00

Well done to our Singapore team for winning an Olympic Silver medal!!

Ended a 40 over years wait!!!

~~~~~~~~

Really have to say that this is the Olympic

that i gave my ultimate attention.

Suppose the same to a lot of people.

Lots of record breaking events and excitements!

~~~~~~~~

Many have mentioned that this is a Singapore Win by a group of Foreign Talents!

Well, Singapore has always being absorbing help from everywhere,

Numerous scholarships and sponsorships available for such purposes.

~~~~~~~~

Not that i am totally opposing that policy.

juz that i always believe that priority should always be given to your own people!

i understand that the government believes in having foreign talents working in SG

it will in turn create more job opportunities for the locals.

In a way it is true, but how much of the foreign talents were in fact here that CREATED jobs

And instead of taking them????

~~~~~~~~

A country needs to accept new ideas and new talents to expand

But sometimes a lot of these talents were only using Singapore as a stepping stone

How many of them really treated Singapore as their home??

And how many of these people were here working for Singapore's interest and not their own?

Highly doubt that!

~~~~~~~~

The money being put in that sector has being increasing over the years

as i can see more and more foreigners around me!

My parents paid Tax with the rest of Singaporeans that in turn contribute to SG

which also in turn benefits me in terms of tuition grant

it also benefits a lot others who never pay tax but enjoy the tuition grant too!!

~~~~~~~~

its like one day ur dad tells u that the money u gave him,
he is using it to raise other people's kids!!
how do u like that??

~~~~~~~~

of course the foreign talents excel

They were the icing of the cake that was attracted here by our huge sholarships

Thus they are more than competent to come here and win our scholarships!

So its not a matter of we not working hard enough!

its juz that no match between a 4 millions population againts a 1.3 billions talent group!!

~~~~~~~~

Well, its a very difficult issue to say!

I welcome foreigners, but i also hope that the locals were given more chance!

A Father's Love

2008-08-07T22:57:00.003+08:00

The Story:

The son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'.

The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.

They went on to complete the marathon together.

Father and son went on to join other marathons,

the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.

~~~~~~~~

One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.'

To which, his father said 'Yes' too.

~~~~~~~~

For those who don't know,

Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever!

The race encompasses three endurance events:

A 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim,

followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride,

and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon

along the coast of the Big Island.

I realised that i had not update my blog for a very long time liao!!!

(Had to be reminded by my LALA friend YY!!)

And neither had i view any blogs lately.

(Realised after seeing EVE's blog!!)

~~~~~~~~

Perhaps due to the fact that my half year stay in CHINA is coming to an end!!

Too busy with living the last few moments of my last IA in my study life.

Enjoying the last few weeks of carefree, kinglike comfort life in Suzhou!!

~~~~~~~~

So many big things happened over this past half a year!!

Events happened around the world

Incidents happened in China

Things happened to me!!

~~~~~~~~

A unique experience with lots of memories

包袱!

2008-05-19T16:42:00.002+08:00

每个人这辈子都会背负着很多不同的包袱!
生活的包袱!
家庭的包袱!
感情的包袱!
~~~~~~~~
当这个包袱变得很沉重的时候
压得你透不过气来的时候
是该把它放下？
还是继续的走下去？
~~~~~~~~
放下了会很舍不得
背下去可能会累死自己
~~~~~~~~
好累啊！真的很累了！
~~~~~~~~

神州共“震”！

2008-05-15T13:08:00.004+08:00

A major earthquake occurred in CHINA on 12/05/08

The world was shaken!!!

~~~~~~~~

I received the news from a friend of mine

When she told me she was evacuated from her office

Due to tremors on the ground!

~~~~~~~~

For a minute, i tot it was juz like one of those vibrations we felt in Singapore

Simple shaking of buildings with no obvious damage!

~~~~~~~~

I was wrong!!!!!

News of a major earthquake in 四川省，汶川县soon started to spread!!!

~~~~~~~~

The earthquake was registered to be 7.8 degree

Over 300 after-shock were registered!

Till now, more than 15000 were dead

And many more still missing!!

Mostly school kids who were trapped

When their classrooms collapsed over them!

~~~~~~~~~

Here are some of the pics!!!

The prime minister of CHINA ,温家宝总理 overlooking the rescue process!!

Shaken Kids from the tremors!!!

A mother calling for her son who were already dead!!!

There is still hope!!!!

Love and humanity actions has no boundaries!

The lost!!!
~~~~~~~~

Lets pray

For those who lost there homes!!

For those who lost their love ones!!

For those who were still trapped!!

For those who survived!!

For all the rescuers out there!!

~~~~~~~~

2008年5月的中国，不仅有地震的痛，更有温暖的重！

We are all the same!

2008-05-15T08:50:00.006+08:00

Saw this pic online today!

Pretty touch to see there were still sensible foreigners out there!

Very cute little gal!

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~
She might not have understood politics!

She might juz have been following her dad!

She might juz have been joining for fun!

But at least she tried!
~~~~~~~~

She has the done the job which many Chinese din't!

We don't need foreigners to stood up for ourselves!

只有自强，才会被尊重！

~~~~~~~~
Give room for us to grow!
Give chance for us to prove!
Give hope for us to live!

~~~~~~~~

幸福？

2008-04-23T13:04:00.003+08:00

When we are complaining about life:

Tasteless food we eat,

Ugly clothes we wear,

Crowded bus we take!

~~~~~~~

No money to get this and that

Thinking of how unfortunate we are at times!

~~~~~~~~

It seldom occur to us that:

There are kids who have to,

climb over 6 mountains to go to school

wear spring clothings during winter

eat cold potatos for maybe 2/3 the year.

~~~~~~~~

Happen to see this news online today.

worth the time to look at it.

~~~~~~~~

http://bbs3.news.163.com/bbs/photo/70396576.html

~~~~~~~~

Even with such high GDP growth every year,

where did all the money go??

~~~~~~~~

Sometimes, i wondered"""

when we are looking at the fabulous fire works

that light up the sky 4 times a week.

if only that money can be put into good use......

if only they can divert the electricity of

shinning the ghostly green lights at the trees in SIP at night

how many homes can be warmed??

~~~~~~~~

能够分享我们的幸福，将会是更大的幸福！！

F@%king Idiots!!!

2008-04-21T12:40:00.002+08:00

I realise that i really have to blog this.....

~~~~~~~~

Receive an email from my LEARN programme today

Regarding the requirments for me being sponsored to come China

~~~~~~~~

Well, in the very first place,

there isn't any requirments at all!!!

but due to the itchy mouth of some retards,

We are having more and more restrictions.

~~~~~~~~

These pple are F#%king idiots in life that

they need to be told on everything.....

they need to be told on when is the time

to shit, to eat and to open their F#%king mouth to breath

~~~~~~~~

Well, its pretty obvious that these retards learn nothing from the GIP.

they are really wasting the sponsorship!!!

~~~~~~~~

F#%king D*%kheads!!!!

2008-04-20T22:57:00.005+08:00

A lovely weekend indeed.....

~~~~~~~~

After 2 days in school

Jack & I was intending to go for a bath to relax on Saturday

However, i have to settle my 黄山 trip,

Thus, i need to drop by the tour agency!!!

So, after i'm done, we try to find a Bath house that was near

We ended up bumping into a 温泉会所.

which is $150 per entry...

That is really crazy price for a bath.

~~~~~~~~

So, we decided to forgo it and have a nice dinner instead

And as we were wandering aimlessly at 左岸商业街

we saw this restaurant that says $100 jap buffet with free jap beer.

So we decided to check it out and due to our strong craving for sashimi

we ended up sitting inside. haha!!!!

We ordered 3 big bottles of ASAHI beer (Extra Dry!!!) Very tasty..

Jack is like super high with the Asahi Beer!!!!

So we try our Kirin Beer too.... Not bad either!!!

But this is still the best...... Tasty...!!

Now comes the highlight of the evening.............SASHIMI!!!!

Yup..... we order lots of it...... till they start serving us lesser and lesser!!!!

Then we had this large sea shell cook with a very nice stock!!!Look at the size of the shell meat...... Yummy!!We had this yummy raw beef as well........ Haha.... the largest prawn i see in china!!!!!!
We had sukiyaki hot pot too...... very tender beef!!!1

Prawn tempura.... yummy!!!!
Akdashi fried tofu!!!!

All in all.... the dinner was fantastic.... can't wait to go back again

Lovely food and Lovely service!!!!

Love China

2008-04-17T23:50:00.002+08:00

Love China, Love Peace, Love Olympic!!!

Please pass it on to show that

华人是团结的!

Yummy dinner

2008-04-14T20:34:00.004+08:00

Well, when people say 百吃不厌

does it means that u will eat the same food

over and over again???

Haha, in our case, its almost like it.

we went to the same korean restaurant
for 2 consecutive days.

Actually not like we really want it.

Were gambling at home with TC & JY

Too engross with our little show hand games,

thus, forgot that its already late.
Since we are too lazy to cook

we decided to eat at the restaurants opposite our apartment

After much consideration.

we went back to our all time fav korean food

with lots of yummy kimchi

haha, this time round, i took some snap shots with my hp

Nice yummy kimchi and handroll....

Peiling looks really happy with the BEEF STEAM BOAT!!

The table is filled with kimchi and salads

they also serve us very nice korean noodles at the end

which we cook with the tasty soup!!!

Shit, now i'm hungry!!!!

80 - 20 RULE

2008-04-10T17:22:00.003+08:00

The very famous theory of life!!!

Applies to how i spend my time in CHINA too!!!

At home:

80% spent watching movies online

20% wasted on sleeping (Reluctantly)

On the road:

80% spent being pack like sardines

20% spent dozing off with a fat man beside me

In the office:

80% spent idling and chit-chating

20% design and drawing storerooms and substations

My money:

80% spent on i dun know wat

20% getting counterfeits

Happy Birthday!!

2008-04-07T13:39:00.001+08:00

Never tot of blogging about myself before!!!

Perhaps:

Never really care much of things around me

Never thought that it ever matters

Never learn to cherish

Never bother!!

Why Now:

Simply becoz Life is worth sharing

At least among pple who care

So, lets begin my journey!
