Had a rather different Xmas 2011. A more relaxing and less hyper one this year.
As humans age, people see things differently and expectations change. No longer are the days when I yearn for a super high or exciting Xmas. This year all I wanted was to go slow and just enjoy every moment with my frenz. I did it and I enjoyed it.
I learnt something this Xmas. Life is really precious and we really have to cherish every single moment. Today's incident at work really let me see life in another perspective. Sometimes we just have to stay satisfied. Be satisfied with whatever we have and never risk your life to do something just for the sake of your face or dignity. An enjoyable Xmas occasion that turned into tragic for this family. An injured Father, frantically busy mother, disappointed daughter, upset and heartbroken granny and petrified aunt. If he did not gave chase and grab the culprit, things would not have turned out this way. May you get well soon and may the culprit be nabbed soon.
Nontheless, it is one of my most valuable Xmas so far. Merry Xmas everyone!

At this hour....
2.35am
I am still awake. Was so sleepy at 8am that I literally feel into deep sleep till 2am. Now I am awake. All thanks to the idiotic flu bug, cough syrup & flu tablets.
December so far has been good. Reinstated my Distinction Degree, got my performance bonus, met up with ex-colleagues & friends, more exercising to a healthier and better looking me, and a step further to knowing her. It was a great dinner and chit chat session. Guess that somehow draws us closer. Though abit but enough. I'm thankful.
Had a job interview too. Even though it wasn't the kind of job I liked but well, at least I get to understand more about the kind of job that I am eventually looking for. I don't know if I will eventually leave my current job because I can noe sense that my bosses are trying to keep me. I do appreciate that but there are many factors in life whereby one eventually looks at in terms of job prospect, salary, opportunities and well.. as many as you may list.
Half of December is gone and I am looking forward to the remaining of 2011. A great meet up with bros on Monday, fun filled xmas party with my usual poly gang and my advanced bday celebration with my crazy colleagues on Boxing Day. =)

A roller coaster ride week
My journey this week was indeed like a roller coaster ride.
Excited that after a month, the exam results will be release. Excited to know how well I did. Happy because on wed i met up with my ex colleagues for dinner, been so long since we met up. Even more tensed up when the night approaches and you know well that when you wake up the next day, the truth will unveil.
My mood fell straight deep into hell when i saw "PASS" for OB. And the marks i got was exactly the same as my combined projects marks. Did I score zero for the exam? After doing so well for my projects, now I am being told I only got a pass? And I am stripped off my Bachelors Degree with Distinction just because of this? I really cannot face the fact, neither could I accept it. Super upset. It was one of my worse day ever. This is the result I produce to show my beloved Dad in heaven? I hated myself back then. Why shall such bad luck fathom on me? I have to appeal and I did. Felt a little better when the coordinator received my appeal email and acknowledged that she will review my case. Waited the whole day and still no reply. sighz.
Thursday morning was just as bad for me. How I wish everything was a dream and I really do not feel like going to work. Nonetheless, I dragged myself out of bed and left for work. While chatting with Jun Long who was trying to console me on Whatsapp, I decided to check my mail box. The moment I saw the incoming mail and the first word from her was "Congratulations!.... you got a overall Distinction ... it was an adminstration error..." I could really feel the damn bloody heavy stone that is sitting on my heart fell off me. It was really an error and i got back 17 marks to pass OB with a Distinction and to graduate with my aim, Bachelors Degree with Distinction. I was really relieved and damn super happy. Glad that I got my highest score in my entire University life for Business Ethics module too.
After 2 years of hard work and sacrifice. It is now finally over. It is time I can move on with life and embrace a new stage of my career and life. I am so glad and blessed. My hard work finally paid off.
Thank you all for showing me support and concern when I was really down. Thanks for all the messages left on my facebook. You guys are the best!! To my boss Yap, thank you so much for believing in me that I could do it. Thank you so much for assuring me that it was all a mistake. Thank you for always giving the trust and faith.
I am still in my celebration mood. After this, I shall really sit down and think about what I step or path I should take next.
December is finally here. It was a good start after all and I shall look forward to the rest of this month. =)

Favourite Time of the year
My favourite time of the year is here again, November and December.
Christmas is around the corner. Love how Singapore hypes up this joyous occasion, the sales, the decorations and the opportunities to meet up with all my friends to celebrate this occasion. This year is a special year for me. There are just so many things to look forward to. Exam results on the first day of December. I really hope I achieve what I aimed for. My first ever time of my life getting a full bonus. All the meet ups with friends before Christmas. Boxing Day gathering with my colleagues. Start of CNY fair. Countdown to 2012. Bintan trip on my 26th Bday early Jan 2012. CNY preparation and Taipei trip with Aunt & Uncle in Jan 2012 too. And then........ the time to move on from my current position to even greater heights and challenges that awaits me.
There are just so many things to look forward to. So many things awaits me. I pray and I hope the last lap of 2011 will be full of happiness, hope and fun. =)

Bad Working Attitude
Why are the younger generation these days so irresponsible?
You made the decision to work then you jolly well work. It is not as if you are not paid. Just a cashier job. So tough meh? Stand for a few hours only want to die. Then ppl who have to study part time and work full time leh? Do you know that they are sacrificing sleep, family time, personal time and friends at times just because of the commitment that they have?
So what is the few hours you stand compared to all these? So what if you got something wrong? Others do not have ah? Please la. Dun wan work den F off la. Dun make your problem others problem.
Why do I have to face all these shit? It is fair to those freaks out there. So is it fair to me?
FML!

Friendship
Is our friendship, this brotherhood so vulnerable?
You just leave us suddenly. No replies. What is the problem? I simply do not understand. Neither could I accept this sudden change of attitude. Is there anything that can't be solved? Does the 3 of us mean, you so called brothers mean nothing to you?
I hope I am wrong. I hope you'll come back fren. I choose to believe you left for a reason. Don't disappoint me.

Just Random
Some random thoughts and experiences of the day :
1) In the train this morning, was standing behind one auntie. She extended her hand and was looking at her iphone (like i don't have). I could see that she was learning korean and listening to korean songs (big deal?). When the train reached Toa Payoh, despite commuters alighting and boarding, she did not give way and just stood around and ensured that she have ample space for her "luxury". What's wrong with you? need space? take cab la. inconsiderate freak! When i alighted, i said "excuse me", she turned around look at me and continued her "enjoyment". Sorry, you met me. I pushed her with my bag and shove my way out irrgardless of her presence. So what? I dont give a shit to you since you do ot give a shit to others. irritants!
2) Was having dinner at Yoshinoya. Saw a sec sch boy eating alone. His order was more than mine when mine already cost me $9.60. During my sec sch days, fastfood is already a luxury. And do note that during those days prices of fastfood have not escalated to the prices of today. Don't you think that nowadays kids are leading life way too good?
3) Was at NTUC finest J8, and guess what there were self checkout kiosks! The best is no one was queuing. So I did and guess what I checked out myself and was even faster than those in the queue! NTUC truely has applied Self Service Technologies (SST) in its operations and I really find that it is convenient! Well, I could also observe that Singaporeans are like less receptive to such services. Nontheless, I feel that it is good and could ease the waiting in long queues at supermarkets.
4) And the news reported that the world's stock prices collapsed today! Is the world economy moving downwards again? ~ I Wonder ~

Walk slower...
Despite the heavy and hectic deadlines, it is sometimes good to walk slower and take a breather. You will be surprise to find that it might be even more rewarding. =)

Tell me how or what should i do to make things right?
Can anyone tell me? What did i do wrong?
My mum wants a new TV. She suggest we each fork out some money. My bro is unwilling to pay and went to take a older TV from my aunt and uncle. My mum disagrees with it and still wants a new TV. My aunt and uncle says that since we seldom watch den why buy a new TV? And say that we are unappreciative for my bro kindness and since we r so smart we can buy a new one ourselves and slams the phone on me.
Tell me! I am now the one having to pay for most of the costs and I am the one being lashed at. So now what am I suppose to do?
FML!

back to blog once again!
I'm back after missing for more than 1 month! What was i up to? Work, exams and recently wisdom tooth extraction. I'm on MC this few days hence, the time to blog!
Life had been quite fruitful despite that there are many downs as compared to ups. Put it that way, I am more concerned on downs rather than ups! Well, only from downs will you be able to lead a better life! Mistakes were made and lessons was learnt. Be it at work, school or well.. any other areas of me and my life.
Half of 2011 is almost gone and I look forward to the second half of 2011. I hope that and I will work harder to make the 2nd part of 2011 a better one!

Stay Healthy
Back to my healthy lifestyle. Have been exercising lately. Jogging n swimming so far. Work life after my exams will be very busy especially towards the 2nd half of this year. I am really wondering how i will be able to cope in my final semester. I hope I can make it. So many events, promotions, renovation and paper work. And a disturbing reservist call up in July. Hopefully i can defer successfully in July. Need my timetable for next sem first. Started to open my books to mug for my examz. Need to work hard. I am not expecting very promising grades for my projects. Need to work extra hard to cover up for my examz. In any way I need to maintain my average GPA of 3.o in order to graduate with a Distinction Degree. At no opportunity cost am I gonna let this sem pull me down. Jia you man! Gonna g work soon. Hope today will be a better day! Good day everyone! =)

Back with cobwebs
My Korea trip! That's where I left my blogging.......... 
Now I am back. Back to reality and was busy all these while.
Work was good. Gained recognition and motivation to do better. But a little disappointed not being able to be upgraded. Reality is just cruel. No one as ever climbed so fast within less than 1 year in the company.
School was sucky. Horrible Strategic Marketing lecturer. Unable to get my expected results this sem. Not with the kind of comments that idiot gave. Well, he mentioned... a bare pass. First time in my Uni life!
Projects wasn't smooth sailing. Not everyone cooperate. And some people just contradict things they say. Is it my problem or is it that these people just do not mean what they say? Or they just wan to be irritating? I dunno!
Lost. I am lost. Dunno what i wan to do and achieve next. Please guide me.

Reality
Reality is cruel. Well.. at times.....
I miss my fantasy, korea and my crush.
Reality tells me to wake up, move on and continue to do better.
All I can say is.
Look ahead. Carry on with life.
Smile
