Human dog

I am sure he is a human.. He behaves like one!

Singapore is where i call home

I MISS SINGAPORE! I had enough of parmesan cheese and lambrusco!

Another 12 hrs of flight. I hate.

The frantic rush

The frantic rush to book air tickets, to ram myself up in terms of project knowledge, to prepare the neccessary logistic and to manage the time with my sch.. all because I am going Italy this sat.. sweet.

The first time I will be seeing snow; western snow. I heard from my friend that western snow is nicer than asian snow. I wonder why. Does it even make sense in the first place? Asian snow more yellow and western snow more white? Beats me. Though the visual will be great, I am only afraid that I can't take the cold. Me is not really an aircon person. I still remembered I was shivering when the temp was about 15 deg in Japan. So this time round, I am prepared with winter clothings, Benard's winter clothings (Thanks Bro).

Italy. The city of Mafia. I heard pick pocketting is rampant there as well. I remembered Wen xing saying Italy is like the M_l_ysi_ of Europe. Safety and cleanliness wise. I have to verify that when I am there next week. The best of all, Italy is the city of bags... and I really mean it. Prada, Gucci etc. I already have a bag shopping list from colleagues. So pls don't ask me abt it anymore cos I only have that amt of credit card with that amt of credit limit. :) haha

I guess that's the perk of getting to work in my company. Always having the opportunity to travel.

Anyway, IT show was good. Happy with my purchase. Acer Aspire 1410. Bye to my Toshiba Tecra since Uni. A small and portable laptop to travel around with; be it for work, travel or sch. Happy. At least now my ' works. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' I think for my toshiba's heyboard, only 30 out of, say 50 keys are working now.

Italy till end Mar. HK in End Apr, Germany in Mid May, Phuket in end July, Looking forward, but everything can only start after my exam in 1 mth's time.

Tin

Bye Sunny, Hi Latio

I hate sunny.. Nissan Sunny.. It sucks..

Nissan Latio highly recommended. Economic, reliable, pretty...

Now I have half a car new. The front is old, the back is new.

Even my front seats have to be changed because of the impact which caused the metal frame within the seat to buckle. $720 for one seat. I am so glad I decided to go back today to sound off. $1440 additional to that driver. :)

And I am off from ICT! wheeee... but work starts tomorrow... boooo..

Endurance and discipline

It's during time like this, rushing project till don't know what time, that I start wondering to myself... is a masters really that useful?

Not to mention that I have to report in camp tomorrow morning by 7.30am. My last ICT. Once I am done with this year, I will be officially be placed in Mindef Reserve! Oh my God.. 3 days of ICT next for me to do a stand down parade where I will wear my red beret and do a slow march pass off the parade square to signify that I am permanently off from National Service~

But I will miss my buddies.

Marching into the Year of Tiger

As what people usually do at the start of the year, I did make my resolutions; in the hope that I can accomplish them, at least a few i hope.

After a hiatus from school for about 2 years, going back to school did bring back some familiar memories from my close to 16years of studies. It would have been better if NUS didn't change that much. Not to find the Wellness centre at its usual location at YIH wasn't that great a feeling; luckily, I was thick skinnned enough to approach a student who looked like he was from secondary sch. Perhaps back during Uni days, I do look that young before. At least for now, what I hope to do for sch, would be to do well for studies. To do the best in whatever I am in right now. Not to just get a minimum passing grade (Masters doesn't have classes of honours though) but to get more than an average score, but juggling time between work, loved ones and personal time isn't easy.

The normal aspiration for work: Promotion, pay rise etc. For myself, I just hope to get opportunities for better exposures and get to learn from the best in the trade. Learning is paramount as I believe with interest, tangible/ intangible benefits will then follow.

In the prime time of my life, striving for a good career and trying out new things are the first in my to do list. However, this doesn't negate the fact that family, loved one and my friends still play a very important pary in life. I am so glad that while I am rushing from work to sch and then going home from school, I know there are people who are always behind me giving the support which I need. Time. My dire need. Time management is what I aim to better in.

Nevertheless, this year is supposed to be a VERY good year for people born in the year of pig. When I say very good, it meant real good. All the fortune tellers all said that. Job progression, Romance, health, family... U name it, pigs, i mean people in the year of pig, are going good in it.

But... before good fortunes bestow on us... a mishap got to happen to me...

10K worth of repairs and 2 weeks of inconvenience. I am going to claim whatever I can from that driver's insurance.

Mr Fuji

Not forgetting he likes to bite my socks (though not the nicest thing to chew) and running away when i tries to get it back... chewing the newspaper in the pee tray and licking your whole face when you are back from work... even my mom is starting to like his presence (cos she was the impedance to us getting fuji)

All in all, fuji is a welcomed member into the family... seriously behaving what a little kid will behave and everyone is spoiling him.
