return of the condor hero

since my dear went to US, besides immersing myself in keppel's activities n work,
i have spent quite some time watching the return of the condor hero..
watched a few episodes everyday..quite nice..
the show remind me of a lesson that i have learnt in my life
which is not to make promise to anyone easily..
dear told me recently that i have fulfilled all my promises to her n i m happy that i have achieved that..

i m quite busy recently..so busy that i don't have time to go for my tkd trg..guess i have to postpone my grading again..
but it's a gd experience organising the 2007 keppel grp scholarship ceremony n also helping out in the keppel inter SUB games..
i m also playing for one of the SBUs...hope it will b a memorable experience to actually take part in the games rather than just helping to organise the event itself..

went to visit my grandma today..guess she's in a gd mood today..
n her actions made me v touched..as i tried to feed her, she sae i have not eaten yet n she wan to feed me..
grandma has a wound on her leg..hope it recover soon..n hope it dun get infected..

in a few hrs time, it's the start of the next wk n for this coming wk, i will b quite busy..
mon is gym, tue is bball trg, wed is ksaa meeting. next up, i have a dinner with the gang on thur. in between, i have to schedule a few time slots to meet up with the various vendors for the scholarship event n also to meet up with the new scholars to brief them abt the video filming for the scholarship ceremony..

i miss my dear dear..really miss her alot..

what a wk!!!

i never have such feeling b4...i wanted time to stop!!!
to stop at this moment so that i can still c my dear everyday...wake up to her sms, c her gdnight sms.going out with her...
it's really a race against time...so much so that i actually wanted to take both tue n wed off from work jus to spend time with her...
but i guess my mentor is kind enuf to let me off for wed liao..
so i think i should not push my luck too far...
sorry dear for not being able to give u a nice memory/surprise b4 u fly..
i try my best to give u one when u come back k..
i have some idea
but i need time...hope u dun mind...

i read the news just now abt the injured spore soldiers in taiwan n i realise they r from our unit..n that camp was the camp our unit first went back in 2005...it was a tragic accident but i guess u can't blame anyone for such accident...jus hope the injured personel will recover from their burns n other injuries...

i saw the other new abt a HCI student punching a bus driver cos the bus driver confiscated his gf's EZlink card when he realised there's some thing wrong with the card...n the boy's father went down on his knees in public to plead for forgiveness...
is there something wrong with our education or even the society??? i tot the boy was a real disgrace to HCI...really disgrace..i just dun noe how to describe how disgusted i felt..cos he punched someone who is even older than his own father n he din stop despite the other passengers in the bus telling him to stop...
while i believe in giving a second chance to people, i guess the student should be severely punished for his act...for hitting an elderly..he need to learn his lesson...
wonder what kind of punishment will he get???

my first day at work

today is my first day at work..
hrm..i will describe the experience as a bit overwhelming..
the learning curve is super steep..partly bcos of the fact that i m only a yr 1 student so there's alot of things that i dun noe..
thus i would say everything is on the job training..
n they certainly do plan out a pretty challenging program for me...
have to complete 3 projects on my own using my newly acquired knowledge...
it's only 2dae that i realised what's being taught in school is only the tip of the iceberg..
the knowledge u need in the workplace can be quite different..

my mentor was the financial controller..n i was pretty shocked to have the FC as my mentor as i tot he will be too busy to mentor me..
perhaps that's the reason y i have another mentor: a senior accountant..
i was given my own office..thou i will have to share my office with another two ntu yr 2 students starting from next wk..
n perhaps it's bcos i was given my own office, so i m not v close to the staff there except those that guided me..n the office was quite quiet..
it's either bcos my office is not v near them (so i carn hear them talk) or they really dun talk to each other...

n i finally understand y they sae u will become fatter when u start working...
particular for me..i dun like to exercise at ard 5plus 6...but by the time i reach home, it's alr 5plus 6...
must find a way to motivate myself to do exercise even if it's alr 5plus 6..
if not i will definitely grow sideways...

today was just abit of hands-on..will be starting my project tmr..
hope it will turn out to be ok...
the food der is not fantastic but since it's only 2mths n i only eat 1 meal everyday, i guess it's not too bad...
on the whole, i guess it's quite an experience working in a shipyard, thou it may not b v glamorous...

hope tmr will be ok=)

the day finally arrives

in another few hrs time, i m gOing to slp..
by the time i wake up tmr, i will b going for my internship at keppel tuas shipyard..
only know that i will be going to the finance department..
but i dun noe what m i going to do...
the feeling of the unknown can b quite scary
but i guess it's a stage that everyone has to go thru
it jus happens that i m going thru this stage earlier than my peers..
can only pray that the internship will turn out to be fine..

went to geylang to eat on sat with my dear..
it's my first time at geylang...haha..cos it's quite out of the way..
glad to be der with my dear..
we had so much fun observing pple n oso eating the nice food..
n we ate alot..spent a few hrs eating..haha..
come to think abt it..i only have slightly more than 1 wk left to spend time with my dear..
sob sob..
time really flies man..
how i wish i can stop time at this moment..

my first time cooking for dear

today marked the first time i cooked for my dear
n the special occasion is our 1 yr anniversary..time flies..
thou i din cook any very challenging dishes, i dun dare to declare my dishes a success..
the gou tie n crispy chicken was a bit burnt..the egg dish was v well done..
the sambal kang kong was quite a failure..
my dear cooked sphagetti..quite nice..
at least i put in effort n i will try harder the next time..hee

so glad that my liverpool is once again in the final of the Champion league...
my dislike for mourinho is on the rise..this guy simply duno what's meant by humble n he dun dare to admit he's not tt gd..despite the whole whole critising chelsea performance in the second leg..
n he dared to call liverpool a small club..so chelsea aka the BIG club sld b ashamed that despite spending a few hundreds million pounds over the past few yrs carn even make it to the champion league final...
when the small club aka liverpool, despite not having the luxury of spending a few hundreds million pounds r able to reach the champion league final twice in 3 yrs..
like what steven gerrard sae 'such result is not bad for a so-called small club'

next i was disappointed at the way man u gana thrashed at ac milan..
not tt i expect them to win at milan but at least have the fighting spirit like how chelsea fought on at anfield..i expect more from a soon to b crowned EPL champion..

felt disgusted at gattuso's comment that liverpool is a 'long ball side'..while, ac milan does play long ball at times n chelsea was the one playing most of the long ball in the second leg..
n i guess gattuso had forgotten that it's this 'long-ball' team that ac milan lost to in the final 2 seasons ago..
so if he carn even beat a 'long ball side', den mayb he sld consider retiring..

i m jus pissed that not many people r giving liverpool their due credit..
i guess liverpool's achievement for the past few yrs in the champions league should make people realise (if they have not) that soccer is a team game..no use of having individual stars who carn play as a team..
thou i must admit that liverpool dun have glamorous individual flair players or stars, but their teamwork more than make up for this deficiency as they have proven..simply bcos it's not luck that made u reached champion league final twice in 3 yrs..

hope liverpool will win..n gattuso shut up his mouth..

jus a side point, i quite like kaka, partly bcos he's a humble guy..focus on his games n dun really criticise other teams..
