Part and Parcel

Last week just zoomed by, Graduation ceremony + malaysia visit for uncle wedding and 4 days office work. Taking a 3 days break and suddenly back to work today, was lost. Many candidates here and there, everywhere. This job will help me improve my skills in terms of priortising things and know what I need to do. Better in making decisions and rejecting people when necessary. I find myself poor in saying NO sometimes, trying to be the nice guy, but sometimes it backfires. Some side pictures i took in malaysia, muar Cute cousin, will be a pretty girl when grow up!

3 Years Memories has finalised.

Graduation ceremony, 27 May 2011 Classmates 4 years, schoolmates 7 years. Friends as a pillar strength :) We lacked one. The 2 small eyed! Marc bro! Chiong ah kali kali gong! We had our best moments in first year. Never forget them, on those overnight stays and going to your club for sports activities. Especially champions league man utd vs chelsea. Talk cock mates, lunch buddies and mahjong kakis. Junfeng, thanks for always being there when I needed a support. Cassandra, will never forget the dirty messages Teck hua, you have been my tanker in disguise. You know when to cover me when I am lost with words or wronged with my words. Thank you brother. Soo kiat, always eager to talk to people especially at night. Johnson, never fail to bring laughter with his jokes. My acknowledged mummy found at Giordano attachment. One of the best time in NYP. I am glad to be from NYP! Class BM0824! Mahjong Kakis! ^^ Huici! always so jovial, since p4! Pei shan, thanks for sending me at airport to korea.

Everyone needs one

We were wrong placed, wrong timed. I am glad that I overcame this date, 23rd May. I told myself that to give myself a chance and I did. It wasnt easy, but i tried to avoid seeing today's date and engaging myself as busy as possible. Though there were still signs, but I am happy to pass through today in at least to control myself. I know it aint easy, let me do it step by step. Slowly, and I will be done, for good. I hope it was a good day for you too, hopefully I will forget this date one day. By then, we will realise we had made the right decision from the start. The trip to korea was also one of the reason for me to stay away and stop thinking, I will want to make it a worth it trip by at least progressing. Turning 20 this year, it was a 15 year old boy promise. Now i am telling myself to stop living in denial and give myself a chance beacause, everyone needs one.

Good May

The night is getting warmer these days over the past few weeks. And since 2 weeks when i first started, now I have settled down at Search Network. Being a 19 year old chap doing interviews with candidates who are looking for job, I have received comments from many, "You look very young, how old are you?" I interviewed people all the way as old as 55 year old. But I am not there to judge them or anything, I am there to help them to get a job in a position they enjoy doing. The fun about this job is seeing different types of people during interviews. Many would be the traditional ones who will be serious and professional while some can chit chat with you asking interviewer if you had lunch. I had one interviewee that exposed me a poly graduate, true enough and after admitting it, she gave me a good 15 mins lecture on the tactic to secure higher salary when looking for jobs and asked me when I didnt want to work other place else with higher pay. While some promised to come for i

Someone who can't let go of memories

It was a place where I called, home. Time flies, and I am not fully utilising it well. Was in Korea last year september, and look.. its may now. more than 8 months have passed. near 5 months since i left korea. Just misses that place and buddies I had. Did a skype session with topher and msn convo with daniel, havent been talking to them regularly, probably like once a month. But this time just misses their presence so much, makes me wanna fly over to korea alone for a visit. They are having holidays soon, it will be a great time for me to go over. Only concern is $! Those great times, those rare found brotherhood, are unexplainable. They are too good to be true. Makes me remember this sentence again - cherish what you have. I havent been hoping on to these memories for sometime, but some emails from another batch of nyp students who are embarking on a trip to korea for an exchange just like what I had, inundated these memories. Thanks for bringing me through this journey once again. T

Maybe I'm dreaming

The Mid May Confession

A change, a temporary change to my lifestyle. Had a 3 weeks good time doing sports, gym, running and swimming , also spending time with friends. This week, my life has started shifting to working as the primary factor in my life. What i have been doing are the secondary factors. New job, new lifestyle. Its not starhub, universal studio, mediacorp, adam khoo or esplanade now. Its a recruitment consultant at search network, recruitment agency. Job scope is helping people to find jobs. Interview and selection comes into place. Advertising on various job portals, calling people up to schedule for interviews. It has been something that I think is awesome and cool to be doing. Hence, the reason I joined. I wanted to be unemployed all the way till I get into NS. But I realised I need money for my braces, driving licence, future education and other emergency purposes. and also something i am still working towards to.. scuba diving cert. Doing my best to map a life where I can earn money and at

We had once upon a time...

Once upon a time, There was a village where some humans are equipped with wings and unfortunately some do not. There was an ordinary little boy who is one of the unfortunate ones without the wings, he was playing in the backyard of his village, he was running around with butterflies. Running after those butterflies, made him ran further and further from his village, he soon discovered a cliff. The little boy was curious what lies at the bottom of the cliff, as he went closer to the edge of the cliff, he then soon realised it is a very deep end, where he could hardly see any visible sights of ground. Then came a gentle female voice that seems to come from the bottom of the cliff, "Hello, you are? Wanna be friends?" The little boy made friends with the anonymous voice from the bottom of the cliff and came by often to the cliff to chat with her. After a week, both the little boy and girl enjoys each other accompany. One day when the little boy makes him daily routine visit again

Keep me movin'!

Teared sport shoe and cracked squash racquet made me invest $250 into it again. Visited Queensway and got a racquet for $160 and $90+ for a shoe suitable for squash. These 3 weeks have been putting my mind back to squash. There is a nice community in the team with old and new friends which makes you feel like you are not playing alone but in a team. I feel active when I am doing sports and running. And most importantly, I am able to throw away all my stress, problems or regrets aside while playing. Simply able to stop thinking on all the materialistic factors in life and all those problems that i find them disturbing. Get focus on to the game on how you want to play it right and whack all your troubles out. Though they do return after the 4-5 hours of squash, but thats reality. Part and parcel of life. Changing a shoe and a racquet means that I got to start improving, seems that my forte is running. I will train on that more by running 2.4km more often. Well, goodbye my 3 year old supr

Ready?

Opportunities are widely opened, but only reserved for those who are ready. I realised I am not ready. During SMU Interview, I was reflecting on my 3 years poly classroom life on how I behaved in class. Then I think again, am I a university person? I am playful and likes to take it easy in the class. I seldom attend to my tutorials. But I want to bring my education to the next level. I want it but I know I aint ready. The consequences of unreadiness is that you see how others who are on the go and ready, how simple they can do it. There will be a little inferior mindset flooding for sometime. Well, Its over. Dont dwell on things that are over. Nothing can be changed. Its an experience that i take with me and be able to share with others. 1) English Test - Compre 30 mins. A comprehension passage that certainly gonna squeeze your brain juices with the familiar yet lost-touched vocabularies, together with questions that ensures to be difficult for you. Not easy, really not easy. 4 questio

A Labour Day @ East Coast Park

When you are in a dilemma whether you want to stay home or get your ass out to meet out with friends. My answer is.. why not just lie on your bed for 15 mins and you may well decide what to do next. And you may make that day more meaningful or even light up your day. And today was my virgin experience on roller blading. All to think that I wont be touching that 4 wheel sided thingy for whole my life and i did it today. Thanks to the 3 girls who helped me with my 1st roller blade experience. I was no where near an amatuer skater but at least i overcame a fear on the thinking.. "I will break my leg if i roller blade" LOL. We had some fun talking, and it was a pleasure. Sometimes you just feel the right people come into the right time into your life. Its odd, but thats how miracle life sometimes is. Thanks Squashmates. Though blading was an experience, but still back to the old school cycling :) We ate like kings, costed nearly a hundred bucks full of food. Got Seng Yong tried o
