but i guess.. i need to sacrifice the other important aspect in my life for it then.. "expected to work extra hours (ie: 12 hours shift, 6 days week)..." sian. Every part of this project offered by Exxon sounds fun to me except this ... cos it puts in me in a spot with my cca in school.. oh.. i'm so gonna' be dropped from the main line-up..
but i think.. i need convince myself that my main objective in school is to study and get my degree... and in order to pull up my grades.. i need to ace in my IA.. Dragonboat.. is just my cca. Though i've put in alot for it. The trainings..extra trainings to catch up with trainings, the extra effort to balance my studies and outside life or whatever's left of it.. Dragonboat is still just my cca and not the main focus... But anyway, its still to early to say anythin.. maybe things will just work out fine there between me and my mentor so i can leave early and have a 5 day work week. haha... besides... i dunno if i can get this job still anyway.. almost everyone in my course is vying for a spot in Exxon since it's the top paying IA company.
Anyway.. this IA thing selection thing is taking up alot of my 'spiak' damn. I've got to catch up with my core modules and lab project.
**defn: Spiak - okay.. most people dunno this.. but it's a term my officer in my NS unit used. It can mean anythin from inspiration, motivation, energy to money, affinity, time... ie: "Don't come bother me, i've got no spiak right now.."
THEHUMANRACE10K
31.8.2008
I got this after completing the Nike Human Race.. (both Leslie and me felt that the packaging look a lot better than the band itself.. but anyway the run was for a good cause and it doesn't matter.. since its for charity.. )
The route consist of running through the streets around town.. its both good and bad.. Its the first time anyone organised a run around the city streets by the restaurants along boat quay, clarke quay, robertson quay, a part of the CBD area.. and its quite refreshing actually.. just that it makes over-taking difficult because of the narrow route. There are supposedly acts along the way.. but then i only saw two bands playing through out the whole route.. And this run wasn't really good for me and my teammates cos we were stuck in a bad jam on our way to the race venue and had a really late lunch... from the first kilometer on.. we were nursing stitches.. that suck.. I happen to see someone though.. Brightened up my day yesterday.. lol.. I was thinking if i was lucky enough to bum into her before the race actually.. didn't know it would really happen.
(actually.. i was so excited that i exclaimed when i saw her.. and told my teammies about it.. disregarding the fact that she was just beside us when i did that.. lol. ended up she kept looking at us after dat.. wonder if she knew who we were anyway.. and that we are affliated to her through her cousin haha. )
We watched a bit of the concert that happened after the race.. wah. quite cool arh.. they set up a huge stage just like those rock concerts you see on tv.. and Utt, the host that night.. was also giving out free ipods as if they were those 50cent toys you would buy at those toy machines at neighbourhood shops.. Too bad, i couldn't stay for long.. a desk-load of work and my dad's curry was waiting back at home.. sian.
