Garfield's sleeping outside my room right now..

at around 753pm

in the midst of my dinner, i received a buzz in my pants

and the subsequent drum beats of Ali in the Jungle

I put down my utensils and looked at Joko...

both of us look quizzically at each other, wondering who it might be...

M: *hullo?*

>: Hi! I'm X and I'm calling to ask you about your job application to _ _ _ company

>: Do you have 5 minutes? I am doing a shortlisting for interviews

and i want you to tell me how good you are so i can pick you to come down for it?

*slight pause*

>: so can you tell me how good you are?

M: *without hesitation* I am good! *chuckle*.... but i already have a job offer. thanks.

that was a rather random and sudden request.. and definitely my first time having such an awkward "pants down" kind of experience.

one of the thoughts that came racing through my mind after that was "what if"

it was one of the companies i wanted, though i still didn't know much about it.

the company was situated in the vicinity near the big red light where you turn left towards prince edward road and head towards ECP every year during StanChart.

[coincidentally, near the place where i "OMG" @ msb...ricetan 2 yrs back during nikerealrun, a fact that i'm glad mr JQ didn't know. fond memories though, leslie knows..]

J: Since you decided already, then don't think le.

my gf was kind enough to quickly squash that thought as quickly as it came up from my mouth.

she knows me too well.

I guess,

I've decided right from the start, its already too late for others to approach me.

Even if its my uncle's company, i would have rejected it.

I don't think i'm that good to play a month long of deal or no deal with a bunch of people .

I think i rather just grab that carrot in front of me, it's already right smack in my face.

Would you hope and dream? or would you just go for second best?

maybe not now i guess? maybe never?

a damn bloody obscene pose

"the clouds are here... he's come to see us..."

"life is great... "
"this is the most experienced rower in our team..."
"swee..."
"pi ah..."

seeing the videos.
they remind me of the last 3 years.
how that there's always something against me participating in the comps.

its the same this year yet again.
and perhaps not just me but the remaining of my motley crew of 5.

in the past, its always the army.
this year, its cos of my new job...

yep, i've got a job offer, passed the interviews but yet to sign.
pays okay but the work's tough.
it's kinda good for starters i guess.

i wonder how it would be like when i start, would i have the time to come back?
i was thinking about it in church today, kinda feel silly for not asking ahead abt the training programme.
guessed no matter how, i will still have to go thru it and it comes first over the other training programme then...

just like how some will pick up their sar21 and chiong shua, some will pick up their spanner and head onboard a ship, some will drive about singapore meeting people over coffee...

for now.
lets just finish this report. i look forward to the end of it all.

i kinda got what i wanted for the 4 yrs. not all went well, but i've got mostly what i wished for. i should end it well too..

In the Shop..... ZARA, Marina

Love the Jacket. Love the girl more too.

She looks good in that coco chanel lookalike jacket.

*inspired by the sartorialist*

hahah

random

taking a random break off the fyp monster... my motivation is to quickly clear this and prepare for exams as well as the shopping and pak tor timing that will soon follow..

talking about that.. me and joko had a random moment that we had to snap some photos of while shopping sometime back after my bdae...

@ zara, marina square..

look at the number of boyfriends waiting outside the changing room..

all with their arms folded and having blank stares.

if not for their partners who mostly only came out after 15 minutes later,

we would have thought it they were some flash mob hired by the store for some publicity stunt.

epic. cosplay.. (fail)

go where no dog has gone before...

mus(i)c therapy

the only thing on my playlist for yesterday's run about campus ...

// a damn good song to run with

and the source of the constant twitching in my left ear.

e-learning week seems like recess week but minus the time

its a rather short week this week...

since my days from today to sunday are each packed with some activity

wed-evening training

thurs-afternoon interview... better luck this time i hope

fri-night Mailene's wedding dinner

sat & sun - MR500 comps..//

then its the start of the first of last 2 weeks before exams.

%#^#E* and my report is not done yet. at least my part for qa and ndt is done already.

mmm... i was talking to my gf yesterday about the music we have in our comp last nite

and that my sis only have dance trance from differen djs music on her mac...

happen to chance about this when i youtube searched for dj

-> 69 year old DJ .. DJ Mamy Rock

//wouldn't you like your ah ma spinning vinyl for your party..

its worth more than the words i can say to you...

spent most of the day meddling with my ndt report,

finished most of the theory part but i need to work on the analysis and the discussion part... thats the meat of the report.

sigh. i wish i can finish this soon, i still have my QA and my FYP report after this

i was so engrossed in my work that i got duped while buying my dinner today,

left the mixed vege rice store today without collecting my change,

when i went back to check, the uncle just feigned any thought of it...

and he even had the cheek to ask if i bought my food from them a long time back...

cos he couldn't rmb when i patronised his store... when it was just 5 minutes ago.

with nothing to prove,

i just have to leave.

seeing this in the evening made my day though...

thanks alot k Joko...

this alone, is enough help already

GangDong... =)
