probably the last entry of the year. better make it a good one.

i can remember vaugely that CJ and i were having some conversations in bunk last year.. we were talking about how we yearned for the year 2007 to come. CJ said something like "i can't wait for 2007 to come.. cus it's the year that we ORD!" and i was like "hm still got like 11 more months loh.. wait long long."

and now that we have ORDed for 2 months and counting. time really flew past us unknowingly. 2007 seemed to pass by so slowly yet so quickly. had been waiting for the end of the year to come. day by day, week by week, month by month. and time and tide waits for no man. and here i am sitting in front of the comp as time ticks past second by second, getting closer to the end of the year as i type this entry.

as compared to 2006, 2007 was less fun i should say. getting used to unit life, the monotonous lifestyle. the responsibilities and duties of a spec and of course gearing up for ATEC.. the "highlight" of the 2 years of my NSF life. there were good and bad times. but most importantly i really wanna thank our fellow specs. for being there when i was down. for working hard and playing hard. for working together towards our goal of ORDing happily!

another highlight of the year was our getaway trip to taiwan. at the point of time where there were no one to control us. we were kings. no extras or standbys or anything. we went crazy doing funny stuffs. esp what happened after clubbing at plush. oh man.. it shall be remembered for a long time.

the next phase of my life was entering the real working world. working at RE. as a temp RC.. met colleagues. and it was no more holiday. work was tough and hopefully it would be rewarding. and it brought me away from army life. learnt to speak more culturedly (if there's such a word). more fluent english haha..

reflections time. this year has taught me to treasure those around me. i know that i tend to take things for granted. many pple have given me help and support along the way when i fell down and met obstacles. but now at the working world i guess it's up to my own. i know lots of uncertainties and crosspaths will be coming my way. and i need to believe more in myself to make decisions.

in around 24 hrs' time, 2008 is coming. may 2008 be a better year for me. in terms of my work and studies when i enter uni. and also for my health and my family and friends.

funny xmas it was.

originally it was a meet up session with sherman whom i've not seen for quite a while. supposed to be a 失败男人的 outing since both of us were so sad that we couldnt get anyone out of xmas. kian joined along and somehow sherman managed to jio py. so the 4 of us were chatting at coffee bean in taka at xmas night.. about uni life and other small matters. until the shop closed at around 10 and we had to leave.

so we were at the mrt.. continued to talk about stuff. had the idea of mahjong at sherman's but kian had to leave early so it was pretty sad. everyone was prepared to take the train back home until someone dropped from the sky.. kind of. yuetchong happened to pass by and saw us and we managed to jio her for mj! so random..

headed to sherman's house and mj throughout the night. took us around 5+ hrs just to finish 1 round of 东南西北 what the hell. won games lost games.. and quite a lot of money to py thanks to all her "kang"s and her "mouse + cat" and "chicken + centipede" combo. won around 4 bucks after the whole night. tired but fun. what a random and weird and funny xmas night it was.

went macs for breakfast, drank coffee. reached home, couldnt sleep. like totally.. the effects of coffee were amazing. forces u to do stuffs to keep you sane or something. but no way am i taking it again.. esp when you are feeling so dead. tried to keep myself busy for the next couple of hours before heading off to meet the RCs at orchard. 2nd time at orchard haha.

watched national treasure.. not a bad show. made me wonder if some of the stuffs that they mentioned were really true. but then of course i was already half-snegh. joel came.. havent seen him for quite a while after he left the company. we had a pretty good chat after watching the movie. went the vilage to eat.. chatted for quite a while before we played pool at lucky. this is the 1st time that i know of a pool shop at lucky after working at the area for so long. cool! played till 9+.. left the place and cj suggested taking photos. so we took quite a number. not bad.. but cj hasnt sent the photos to me yet. which was why i didnt want to post this entry up at 1st.

spent the whole of yesterday and today nuaing. which isnt that bad after all since my body needed rest haha. 2007 is ending and 2008 is coming soon. which means that im going to work again.. sian after so long.

don't know why but i just feel like blogging now.

it's xmas eve.. no plans as of now. hope that there will be plans later. if not then it will be tele all the way again.. haha. feeling quite relaxed at the moment now that we have this 1 week break and the thailand trip has been unsuccessful. now it's back to the post-ORD life again. sleeping at 2+ and waking up at 9+ 10.. till the next year comes and i return back to office again.

anyway. i caught the repeat of star awards on tele (yes im a couch) and i happened to hear this song that was sang by tay peng hui and fann wong. but guess the original song was by zhang xin zhe and fann wong instead. its name is 别让情两难.. and i guessed i really raelly like this song since young. although it's an old song i thik it's still worth listneing to now.

别让情两难 词/厉曼婷 曲/曹俊鸿

霓虹灯又点亮
夜色渐张狂
偏偏是我为爱逃亡
醉在异乡

莫非天不许人痴狂
幸福由身边流川
心好乱 谁把梦锁上

有人为情伤
难免失去主张
渐渐觉得有点沧桑
谁才是今生盼望
无从去想像

有人为情忙
世事终究无常
还有多少苦要我去尝
若不是还想著再回到你身旁
早就对命运投降

别让情两难
别把梦锁上
我愿为你逐风浪
不管多忙或多伤

莫非天不许人痴狂
幸福由身边流川
心好乱 谁把梦锁上

有人为情伤
难免失去主张
渐渐觉得有点沧桑
谁才是今生盼望
无从去想像
有人为情忙
世事终究无常
还有多少苦要我去尝
若不是还想著再回到你身旁
早就对命运投降

别让情两难
别把梦锁上
我愿为你逐风浪
不管多忙或多伤

别让情两难
别把梦锁上
我愿为你逐风浪
不管多忙或多伤

touching song.

my dad just came back and gave me my best xmas present ever! a new phone! but it's not exactly mine.. he borrowed from his fren for me. cus he knows i want a phone that can listen to songs to take me through the next 9 months till my contract ends next year. and here it is! k800i! so happy.. was going to buy a new phone already but had to 斟酌 for very long cus im paying it myself. now that im working i dont really want to add burden on my parents already.. so everything i baokaliao. but that also means that i need to really think and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. and this phone really eased my "headache"! thanks dad! i will really really treasure this phone very much..

ok back to mopping the floor!

for sse who has been reading my blog, hope this is the post that you are waiting for. the one regarding sfn..

work yesterday was.. i dont know. was kinda shocked when desmond told us to go on leave till next year jan. which means i wont be working for 2 weeks. mixed feelings. glad to take a long break but my inflow of money will be gone. which means i need to teach tuition to find extra income already.

desmond and edmund suggested that the guys go to thailand for 3 days next week to take a break. sight-seeing and eating their delicacies and stuff. was really excited as i havent been to thailand before. and it's free and easy. but cj and alvin are both going there next year. and today i got a NO from my mom while asking her the question. this sucks yea... no chance for a getaway already. but i must really thank the both of them.. gave alot of tips and stuffs for the trip. think maybe will go there next year before uni starts. and cj is right.. 1 week is simply too rush already. maybe next time.

after work our team (except sexy baby) with alvin went to party world to sing. first time singing with collaegues.. the feeling is abit different. haha listening to them singing the old songs makes me feel young again. many of them have really really nice voices, esp the girls. like sfn.. think she can really earn some extra cash during the ghost month when she sings at getais.. haha. sang till midnight i think and then we went home. then i realised that hey! sfn lives at sembawang too! had a pretty long talk with her during the train. glad that we managed to catch the last train, otherwise we would have to take the long bus ride home and we'll probably reach home like 2? ha. anyway we talked about alot of stuffs. mainly it's about work and the tze-char boss. cant really remember the details.. was pretty tired ytd already. so i think i was blabbering some nonsense.. no offence!

today's the start of my long hol. dont know what to do as of now. just relaxing and see how things go ba.

encountered some unhappy stuffs at work and after work today. well not really me but some people around me. but still i think it's worth blogging about.

this afternoon my colleague had a quarrel with one of her candidates. according to my colleague, apparently her candidate sent in a fake resume - one that's full of false information. and when my colleague had an interview with this candidate somehow she managed to 'smoke' her way through. and fortunately (or unfortunately - you decide) this candidate managed to make it for the interview. but obviously she couldnt pass that round cus when the interviewers asked her about her capabilities as stated inside the resume sent.

so she didnt make it but that's not the end of the story. the representatives from the company called up my colleague and scolded her for sending in a fake resume. but it wasnt her fault so she called up her candidate. instead of apologising for her mistake she started scolding my candidate.. saying stuff like "why cant i post a fake resume? what makes you think that others won't post fake resumes so as to boost their profiles better?" which is obviously ridiculous. with that it sparked off a quarrel between my colleague and her candidate. and apparently i heard stuffs like "if you dont help me find a job im going to sue you and your company for being unprofessional" or something along that line.

come to think of it, i think her candidate was being very unprofessional and irresponsible and selfish in writing up a fake resume. i think it's all about work ethics - if you have a low qualification/lack of experience you have to be contented in a getting a lower-paying job. of course you'll be lucky in getting one with higher pay but if it's not as high as expected you have to take it in. just work and gain the experience and with that ask for one with higher pay. anyway, by writing a resume that 'overpowers yourself, you are susceptible to ruining the company's reputation and credibility. and blaming the consultant? it's just too ridiculous.

another incident after work - was boarding the train back home (sidenote: i shouldnt have taken the train with huiling and yunlu.. waste my time. didnt even manage to sleep in the train and had to alight at yishun to change train) when there was these 2 young kids screaming away in the carriage. think the mother was trying to hush the kids but to no avail. then came this man who started screaming at the mother .(im sure he was screaming - could hear him at the other side of the carriage..) something like "do you know how to discipline your kids?! they are causing a din in the train. i am paying for public transport. i deserve the personal rights to have peace and quiet in the train. and with your kids im losing the personal rights that i have in this free country. so i demand that if you cant get your kids to be quiet you have to leave this train and board the next one!"

ridiculous isnt it. immediately he was booed by many of the commuters in the train. the train is a public transport. he gets to enjoy it. so do others. if others are willing to compromise and accomodate, why cant he? after these 2 kids are only 2 to 3 years old i think. they are still very young. it's pretty understandable. if he really wanted peace and quiet and all those stuff about enjoying public transport, i would recommend him to book 1 train all by himself, or i would sacrifice my money to buy earplugs for him. alternatively i would recommend him to get out of that train and take the next train or something. and ironically while he was scolding the mother, the only noise that seemed to irritate everyone was not the voices of the kids but his. think he shld play a part in helping the rest to enjoy their trips in public transport and simply stfu.

anyway i managed to watch warlords after so long with alvin and cj. poor thing mathew wasnt around and anthony was sick. was a show worth my $6. not to say all the gore, blood and death and stuffs. but rather the way the film was shot and the plot itself. how 3 pple became brothers through an oath which seemed flawed in my opinion. and how ironic that the oath, which was the motivation for them to fight together and emerge victorious became the crux of the souring of the brotherhood and eventually the death of the 3 of them with the female character. really thought-provoking and if anyone jios me to watch this show again i dont mind.

next up, national treasure!

yes i managed to struggle through one month of work! (yes i know that sounds super pathetic)

no wonder cf says that worklife was the worst period of her life. think i ahve to agree wit hher at this point of time. it sucks. esp if you are in the sales line.. where everday you are expected to perform. and it not just depends on yourself, sometimes it also depends on the response of the clients and candidates. and although this week was a much better week than last week (i filled 5 temps lol), on the whole it was pretty shitty. think everyday i received threats to get fired or something until im getting numb already. cant wait for that day to come.. lol.

but i still have to admit i learnt pretty much.. knew alot of friends, met pple from all walks of life. and of cus not to forget my collagues.. the 6 temp guys and 2 new temp girls. sadly joe has left and mathew is leaving at the end of the year.. leaving us with 4 temp guys. maybe there will be new ones to replace them. or us.. lol. and of course the perm stuffs too. esp those in our team.. haha must mention VALERIE. the one who steps in and curses her way through the day till we knock off.

wed was their xmas party. weird that they have this party so early.. but they had to cus of the fact that many are going for leave after this week. the party was held mainly for the perm staffs.. we temps had our part of fun as well. the guys from battery road came over too. so we got to see the 四大天王 from battery road side.

photos photos!


the temp staffs.. minus mathew who's still on leave..


cj me and valerie! look at my tie.. so red. $40! the cheapest in taka somemore.. i want to cry le.. faints!



this is is my mentor.. liz also known as lizzard. the famous one who keeps giving me pressure and threatens to fire me if i underperform.. hai.

after work last night me anthony and cj went to watch movie. wanted to watch warlords but sadly there werent any tickets! so we had to settle for the golden compass. actually not bad la but i didnt know it was a trilogy so when it ended i was like o.O ended liao ah? omg. and i almost fell asleep during the middle... cj also. think this kind of movie not my type la. going to watch warlords on monday liao.. cant wait!

screw the flubug. now i spend my weekends sleeping the whole day instead of hanging out with people.

think im in grave danger.. if i continue to underperform then i have chances of getting fired by next week. then gg already.. need to find another job liao sucks.

went back to camp to collect my testimonial. think the people in camp were shocked to see me.. never expected me to go back and visit them. had a pretty nice talk with alot of pple.. like encik s2 and s4. poor thing that rsm wasnt there, otherwise i dont think we will go home by evening time.. so many things to talk about. and joshua is a genius.. ord on friday but havent even started signing clearance yet. lol.. in the end have to come back on monday to get his IC.

as i was saying i spent the whole of ytd sleeping. screw the bug.. think i had fever or something. hopefully i can recover by today.. work tmr again. and im meeting the branch guys for dinner! OH NO really need to get better..

and while i was youtubing i found this:
