it's finally the weekend.. cheers!
joanne.. where were you when i needed you the most.
have been a rough week so far. a perm staff has left and i have taken over her duty. at the same time i need to pass on my job scope to a new girl who's here on tuesday. so at this point of time im actually covering 2 pple at the same time. and it's not easy. esp taking over a new position. i was so lost most of the time. i dont know what to do, who to contact and liase and stuff. reading the manuals alone werent enough. as much as i welcome these challenges in life, sometimes i think i need a break once in a while. the workload's killing me. hopefully as time goes on things will get better.
one interesting part of my job is to attend hearings for those drivers who are involved in accidents and stuff. an eye-opener i should say. hear them voice out their point of views about the situation and subsequently judge them and award them the relevant punishment. it's not easy, esp when u have to judge them and take down minutes at the same time. and then type out reports. but everything's always a challenge. it's the challenges that makes work life interesting (no matter how taxing it can be) there.
i think im getting hooked to viwawa. hope it's a temporary thing.. played wahjong till 2+ 3am and i think im going to play again later! omg..

i have to admit. i am losing it. i realised i cant appreciate CO concerts as much as i used to anymore.
anyway i went for the concert to support kx ger zzy and others whom i knew. and i was pretty looking forward to hearing wong chee keong's solo.
but in the end.. it was pretty much of a disappointment, but it was understandable. i suppose his shaozi was spoilt. and he broke down after the concert, something that one wouldnt expect during a concert. and the reason for it was because his suona teacher passed away. and i realised that his suona teacher was my suona grand-teacher. freaky.. i still have a copy of his (my grand-teacher's) practice book somewhere in my house.. sad. a legend has passed away.
anyway i was mildly irritated during the concert. because of a bunch of kids behind us all talking very loudy and stuff.. like flashing their handphone lights in the middle of the concert. where's the etiquette man!
rarr so many things that i wanna blog about but as usual mental block gets the better off me. i think i shall stop here. it feels like it's gonna be monday tmr but hey it's still sunday! REJOICE!

havent been here for a while. time for some updates..
went for NUS open house last sat. i was glad that i went.. even though it was a short while. at least i have an idea of what i am going to major in uni.. (yea for those who dont know, i dont have an "official" major.. i choose it when i bid for my modules) also had a trip around the campus, as well as a trip around halls and stuff. visited sheares hall. it was quite an experience.. i suppose things are gonna get happening when i go to hall.. but isit necessary? will i have time to study? or will it be supperday everyday?
and i have been doing abit of soul-searching on what i am going to do in the future. in the past it was just strictly teaching teaching and teaching. it was somehow fate that made me realise that there are other jobs that i can venture into, instead of teaching - 2 rejections from MOE scholarship on 2 consecutive years slapped me hard on both my cheeks. since then i have been thinking about my future, what will i be? what can i foresee myself 10 yrs down the road? the answer seemed abit elusive. it was always a conflict between my interests and my future jobs prospects. 1 year later, i think i have a vague idea. to work at manufacturing ind specialising in RnD, then do a mid-career switch to teach if it doesnt work out. but still i must give myself a hou lu.. just in case path A fails. i met dr choe to get the referee's report from him. i shared my views with him and he agrees if what i say. so now hope that evreything will turn well for me.
last fri was zinc's 19th birthday. celebrated at this ulu kbox.. called b-box at toa payoh safra. the envt just so so nia but we sing until very high.. or rather i sing until very high. took quite a number of photos and i m still waiting for mr cj to sync it in our sharing folders. hope you enjoy yourself teacher teo!
it has been a happening period during channelnewsasia.. so much hot news nowadays. let's see. the hunt for mas selamat, and the new rules for fetching passengers for taxis in CBD areas to malaysian elections, tibetian riots with china and upcoming taiwan elections. i shall not go much into the politics part but i have been thinking about the hunt for the terror. so many days already yet he cant be found. something's fishy. and yet details cannot be disclosed to the public due to security reasons.. which makes me puzzled everytime i think about it. it all boils down to the basic question - how did he escape? where were the security cameras? where were the guys on patrol? how did a guy who's limping manage to get out from the heavy security? i hope that there will be an answer soon.
work has been starting to get busy, not that im complaining. but one of our staffs has tendered and is going some place where the grass is much greener. i am wishing her all the best but at the same time why does all the work pile onto me???? yesteaday was my first time using SAP and man it was such a horrible programme.. nearly died using it. just keying in information for 24 pple took me 1.5 days.. zzz sucks.
i wanted to wait to upload the photos but the synchronising photo is taking such a long time to transfer the photos.. think i'll stop here! cant wait for thurs to come. seriously.. it's good friday!

i told the barber aunty that i just wanted to trim my hair and my sideburns to make it more beautiful. then layer my top. the barber aunty did exactly what i told her to do - she trimmed off my sideburns beautifully and she made my top look like there's only 1 layer.
now i look like some army guy all over again. RARRRR
and today i finally took effort to change into my PT kit and went for a run after work around my neighbourhood! the effects was amazing! only 4km and i felt as though i went for a 28km route march - totally shagged out. shits this isnt good. 3+ months of office jobs have officially made me totally flabby and unfit. i need to do something about it.
results are coming out this friday. and nus is having their open house on 15 march. think im going to make a trip down again. see which course is suitable for me. chem? math? stats? im yet stuck at another crossroads again

the 7 of us (sorry joshua.. sheesh i cant upload his photo from my phone to the com)
it was a totally screwed attempt to go to ubin to cycle.. we didnt manage to cross the seas of singapore at all! damn it was raining heavily when we reached the jetty. had to settle for plan B.. ate breakfast at the hawker centre. the nasi lemak was very good! and very cheap too.. $2.50.
after that we went tampines to lan.. something that we havent done together for a long time. as usual i was the nubest. go there get fragged that's all haha. and we had lunch together at aston's. the food was nice. and so was the company. we were happily playing with josh's iphone. the interface's very very cool. i like it. if apple officially introduces iphone to SG i might consider buying it. though josh says the functions suck and it's not really user friendly.
just a short outing.. only for like 1/2 a day or so. but it was great. havent seen the specs get-together for quite a long time le. glad that everyone's doing fine in whatever jobs they are working at.
-
went to staff barry's baby shower just now. seriously i thought baby shower was some ceremony whether they will shower the baby in front of the public or something to that meaning -_- call me suagu la.
-
dinner with the 3 temp girls last friday after handing in my timesheet. at marina sq.. talked and shared alot of stuffs. and we saw staff barry and RSM in that army recruitment exhibiton thingy lol. and they were shocked to see my hair -.- what's wrong man...
-
work has been alright. i feel abit guilty. the perm staff has been force-feeding me.. with icecream, tea and donut treats. haha but workload's abit heavy though. wished i could be an octopus.. 8 arms to deal different admin work. luckily there's a new girl coming in tmr. hoho.
nothing much to update also. tata!
