I wanna experience the feeling of being mobbed by my friend's supporters

Seeing his face on posters, newspaper and now even tv always made me laugh.. and guess what.. he's coming to my school soon.. kau.. spider wong.. thats what me and my friends call him..
Hope me and my branch mates can get him to come down for our reunion dinner on Friday. I think i will enjoy seeing him being mobbed by fans... (well .. i hope he does.lol)

Him, wearing his SMRT challenge tshirt.. crazy fella, he memorised all the bus routes. If you get lost, you can call him... but everything else.. pls don't. haha

Back in army.. me and my S2 Branch. He's our Branch's vehicle commander, and also the games' spec.. if we ever needed someone to represent us the branch to play KOF at the canteen or mahjong .. we will send him.. You can ask him whats the best way of playing druglord 1 and 2 on the army computers too.. he's damn pro.

mmm. this anin't good....

1) my mom's was complaining on Monday that she's having double vision in one eye.. where she's seeing 2 spots on the same eye.. turns out that the doc said somethin like the eye retina membrane or something flowed from the back of her eye to the front.. She was at the hospital waiting to see the eyecare specialist from 3pm all the way till around 9pm.. Back again at the doc's this morning.. the doctor told her that there might be a chance that she won't recover from this..

Although this is not life threatening.. and i dun think my mom will turn blind suddenly .. but then.. it anin't a good thing still in the long term.. hope she gets better.. already.. she commented that one of the spots have already disappeared.. hopefully its for good.. we gotta wait till next week when he returns to the hospital for a check up.

2) i'm starting to encounter obstacles for my project in work... apparently... the rigidity of the test perimeters are failing the perfectly correct results i've collected... this is not good especially when i conducted the tests properly..so what went wrong.. ?

Also due to the transfer of production responsibilities to it's other regional branches, i could not longer conduct one of the tests on a certain product sample of my company to complete this project as well.. and i currently cannot find a good alternative yet.

3) "I've sent you the list of tutors, good luck with yours" .. thats what my colleague or course mate emailed me earlier today.. thats because i'm being attached to one of the 'not so good' profs. hope that his teaching antics only goes as far as the lecture theatre and not into Industrial Attachment.. i still need my A, pretty please...

4) i suddenly found out i can't do some stuff in feb and that made me a lil sian... haiz.

urgh. its hard to stay positive if you keep hitting walls.. but life still goes on and i'll live..

... dotz ...

i got an unexplainable lousy feeling today.. that i hope i can re-concile within myself if i blogged abt it..

i wanted to eat fried ying her neng egg (fried whitebait egg) wif mui (porridge) plus some luncheon meat or somethin..

but when i reached home.. i was so shagged.. dat i wished i had bought some chai poh (dried lettuce bits) for the egg instead.

and so.. i didnt have a good lunch or rather my 'before dinner' meal today .. cos i had to finish my fried ying her neng imagining its chai poh neng instead.. at this is like at ard 5 plus ... can dinner already lor.. hence.. haha. i was sianz..

thanks for reading. i will write better stuff next time. haha

an ear in heart helps listening to matters close to it.

wah wah wah.. this is nice.

the ultimate question of the universe...

Dear friends, thanks for reminding me abt the '福' ness in my life.

Thanks all who wished me and celebrated my bdae.

Thank you.. haha

the answer to the ultimate question of the universe

is definitely not 42 although coincidentally, if you flip my age upside down... its 42.

My life is so possibly pobabilit-ly coincidental..

First Impressions

Enter 2009, 6 more mths before the annual db battle starts...

and for the first training of the new semester had me feeling sore and aching everywhere when i struggled to wake up this morning..

Work just started for me this week.

I reported to my workplace early, before 8 though the reporting instructions in studentlink wrote 830.. By then there were already 2 other interns waiting by the reception area.. It was awkward silence as i plonk myself on one of the chairs.. shifting from side to side and keeping myself busy with thoughts in that wierd position wedged between the 2 other interns.. one guy and the other a gal..

The guy, happened to be someone else in my course.. but somehow i've never seen him around before.. The gal on the other hand is from NUS.. and she kinda resembles Ann Kok..

Thankfully, well wishes from my friends started to stream in to my mobile.. wishing me all the best for my workplace.. that kept me busy for a while.. and i needed it too to counter that sian feeling of waiting for something to happen.

By 9, we were greeted by the HR exec that was in charge of welcoming us.. we signed our terms of agreements.. and then was quickly sent off to meet our new supervisors.. Mine was a nice guy.. as far as i know for now.. he was kind enough to introduce and show me around after finding out that i wasn't given any orientation programme yet by the HR dept.. and roughly what i was going to do for my time there...

The only thing that wasn't so nice to the ear that morning was hearing that my projects were raised some time ago by someone was heading the section. There was a re-org in the dept and there might be some changes to these projects that i'm supposed to do. My supervisor's head wasn't around too to discuss about the status of this project..

Wah.. crap crap.. would i be 'retrenched' too cos of the recession? that was what i was thinking that morning and the next day.. Since the registration of the IA companies.. there's a number of coys that have withdrawn and heard from one of my other IA students that one other coy sent their students to my coy after having no projects available for them to do as they are cutting costs. My coy on the other hand is also hit by the recession... there's a lower demand now for their products and they are also cutting costs.. (they are going to have a plant shut down this cny to save money instead of tackling the high overhead costs)

and so..
for the whole week.. as i wait for my supervisor to confirm the status of my projects.. i was twanking.. (slacking) .. i had trouble keeping myself busy ..and awake too.. I hate this feeling of having no focus, no goal and no work.. Yet, I didn't wanna appear too slack and leave a bad impression on my supervisor.. even though i have nothing to do.

Talking about this.. He's just sitting diagonally across from me and his boss is just sitting opposite me.. -_-! so i'm like just under their noses most of the time.. boh peh zao from their watchful eyes.

For the first 2 days, i was reading the IT books that i borrowed earlier which were related to what i'm supposed to do.. The lack of a PC terminal made it super boring as i dun have anythin to meddle about. I will just keep reading though nothing much was going into my head..

The rest of the time i went down to the lab which my dept was in charge of and learned a lil bit or two about the tests they do with the coy products. Nearing the end of the week, things got slightly better.. i finally got my pc account and i at least have access to the intranet.. no internet though. sian. but thankfully my other colleagues are nice enough to introduce me to the system in there and send me those spam emails to keep me busy with.. I've also started to go on tea breaks with my other colleagues as well.. to kill time. haha.. hopefully i can join them on longer tea breaks outside the coy area at the other canteens elsewhere..

The best day was on friday when my head confirmed my job scope with me and handled my first project. That at least would give me some reason to go to work everyday.. I quickly started work on the first one, charted out what i would do roughly after looking through last yr's report and double confirmed with my supervisor again on those grey areas.. As much as i am eager.. i'm also a lil worried that i may screw up this project.. I won't be getting much help from my colleagues cos only my supervisor is doing this thing each year.. and i also dun wanna give my supervisor an impression that he has to spoon feed me every step of the way ... I just gotta try out my own ways, blunder even .. and pick myself up along the way. Hopefully he won't be so critical on me then.

I need to get a good grade for this IA.. and its nothing lesser than an A... Talk about GPA woes...

Looking fwd to that paycheck soon.... Wiii wiii wii wiii wiiii wiii wiii wiii wiii wiiii wiii wiii wii .. its coming..

In pursuit of happyness..

mmm.. is there like a limit of pictures you can post on each entry? lol.

Anyway.. i'm glad i helped the insinyur people with the photoshoot ..

first time someone approached me for such a shoot.. my skills and equipment still suck though..

Anyway, IA is also good arh.. i'm looking fwd to the money that's coming in.. kekeke..

looking to get

1) citadel and transamerica .. games from minds' cafe so i can bring them along for get togethers at parties.

2) wii .. another party gaming system..

For this coming year.. i'm also looking fwd to re-doing my room..hope that i will finish all the cleaning up of the unwanted stuff by jan, shift out the unwanted stuff by feb, get the new furniture from ikea...

Happyness with an Y for you instead of I for i all the time... my thoughts are always with you

In another few more hours, i'll be heading off to work.. urgh.

this spells the end of my hols and the start of my industrial attachment.. lets hope it would be a great experience working at Infineon... right now.. i'm feeling a lil anxious. that 'dunno what to expect' feeling is there in my mind... To prepare myself for tml i even went to recce my work this afternoon.. i'm happy that it's a 30 min journey away from home.. but the bad thing is that i will be spending around 15 mins of it just walking...

this hols been a good one.. been spending alot of time doing some personal projects.. spending time with my other friends..basically just doing alot of stuff that i like instead of just studying and dragonboating.. i call this 'my-time' .. just doing my own stuff... There's a need to recharge myself and re-align my goals after 2 years plus of dragonboating.. i feel that mental fatigue and desire fading..

i feel much better now though.. and ready to fight once more.. hope the 08/09 batch will stand up for their worth soon..

one of the days where i skipped canoeing with the db guys and went sentosa wif my insinyur 08/09 OG.. end up doing canoeing there.. lol. no diff.

first time at the marina barrage.. i went with my roomie.. i went another 2 more occasions with my friends

i've been playing far too much to complete this and do it properly.

fun with the db guys at sentosa. damn. i should have gone earlier for more beach vball.

Did some bowling at the SCC Lawn Bowling X'mas Carnival ... and hence the x'mas madness starts...
