Reading Steve

I've been spending all my free time on reading

on bus, on road, on train

of course its abt my idol - Steve Jobs

the tales abt how he created Apple & Pixar

how he got ousted and how he got back

the amazing products and designs he came out with

he often said:

"make the dent in the universe"

"change the world"

he did becos he persevered

he was not a perfect man though

lousy father

control-freak

temperamental

gruesomely hostile to his enemies

yet he was also a person who

embraced art & minimalism

insanely accurate in judgement

great visionary abt future trends

innovator who led the industry

& he managed to change the world

i truly respect him *salute*

Home Sweet Home

okay I'm quite lazy these days

we got e unit we wanted!!! 23-29!! huat ah!!!

heres the layout

i've been playing with autocad & interior design programs

trying to figure ways to make our future home look awesome

but it isn't as easy as i thought it would be lol

guess i've goto leave e majority of e design to my broinlaw who's an iD

Remember this Titan

Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

“Almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

Work

It has been an exciting year for me

Graduated with no job

Partime for half year before I accepted my fate to

Be an engineer for e time being

Company top management got sacked

Now company is gonna be sold

Future is uncertain

What would you do?

its been a while

it has been 2 & 1/2 month since i last updated this page

it has been 13 & 1/2 months since i started working

life is as usual

work: getting hectic

family: no news from dad

love: girlfriend is awesome

friends: nothing new

overall: nothing to complain abt

but something is missing

something that i want

friends have been changing jobs

maybe its time for me to start hunting

i need more time

工作

每次问候朋友近况

都听他们说：

工作性质闷

工作很忙等等...

工作永远做不完

所以我没选择加班

有人说加班是职责所在

我却说做好本份就够

＊

短暂学校假期后

女友工作越来越忙

趁早起床的她

忙得没时间吃饭

忙得没时间午睡

每日都显得疲倦不堪

看了我心很痛

真希望时间加速

六月假期快点到来

可以带她到中国，澳门及香港

吃喝玩乐，放松心情 ＝）

＊

不知不觉已经凌晨

我还有很多话没说

我还有很多事没做

但我还需要更多得时间

*

或许工作的日子就是这样

忙碌、休息、忙碌、假期...

重复又重复...

Updating

It's been a week since I return from e awesome bangkok trip with Becky 

Chit chatting/drinking with frds over e wkend, enjoying e 40 LED i got from IT fair plus a new PS3 (didn't repair e old one since it costs as much) simply love it :)

went for career fair last wkend, it's a small scale one so i didn managed to find any potential future employer :(

got bitten by bird mites cos e bird tat made nest beside my aircon unit died, causing mites to get into my room. Had pest terminator to "poison" gas my entire house -__-||| super itchy! & I hate dead birds!!!

This morning I had to crawl out of my 6 storey window n put some plastic spike mesh at e hole where e bird nest used to be (prevent future uninvited guests) & spray whole can of pesticide into my room before I left for work  =\ again, I hate birds!!!

Today is a really busy day, didn manage to find time replying emails or SMSes. Architect like to shoot arrow, made me do their work for them. Clients like to cover their asses & make contractor's life difficult, I'm sandwiched in between =(

I guess its part of every job, no matter where u go, there r bound to have ppl fooling n shitting ard u. Just have go suck it up n learn how defend next time.

Sis has finally decided to get married this year, rushing everything. I can't help much other than preparing a huge angbao for Nov wedding =) wish her happiness Forever!

Still no time to edit n upload Bangkok photos. Trying hard to squeeze time to write before spider web covers my blog, gd nite all!

me!

few months ago my friend sent me this

said i was on the nanyang magazine

today another friend sent me this

he saw this poster outside the NEWRI lab

its quite big according to him

or perhaps i was too attractive to be ignored :p

i wasnt aware of my pic being used for NTU lab

although i knew there was once some1 who came in with a camera happily snapping in SMTC

anyway i think its the only way to remember that i am a graduate from NTU haha!

*

left sch for 9months now

life as usual

work, eat, sleep

tour (fav part)

*

had a little talk with boss this afternoon

he asked me to consider taking masters and PE exams >.>

engineering never came across my mind as a permanent career

i have great goals in life

*

for those who know me well

i'm not an academic person

nor i enjoy the fame of having a master/phD degree or being a professional engineer

study is an easy task although i never enjoy it

to me, its impractical and a total waste of time

sadly, in today's society

certificate is everything

*

but

i love being what i am

i love doing what i love to do

love being with the ones i love

for me, thats good enough =)

Billingham 445

my bag is here!!!

internal compartment is huge and green in color!

must thank K once again for getting things for me from europe

thank becbec for getting me this awesome gift! muack! =)

now i have better reason to buy more lens to fill it up? LOL

Update

感觉好久没有写日记

大概是生活太多姿多彩

＊＊＊

工作尚可以，只是越来越忙

一个人做三个项目

有点乱，有点累

还好，感情生活很愉快 ＝）

给我精神支柱！

＊＊＊

miss e Bintan trip!

so we took the plunge

& decided for a short trip to bangkok in march holidays! =)

i just cant wait!!!

tickets, hotel all settled

*planning itinerary*ing

我今年二十七八岁

very true

sometimes

i think, i hope, i dream

but its either u do

or u dont

Never give up

a guy who perseveres always wins

doesn't matter how many times he tried

doesn't matter how many times he failed

he will succeed one day

“只许成功，不许失败”

我就是这么一个人

...

深思ing

与朋友闲聊了几个小时，我们都有共同的目标，就是要把握时机，进军中国这个苏醒中的巨人。

每天坐在办公室埋头工作，尽管再厉害，根本无法出人头地。考虑自己是否应该跟父亲到处走走，增广见闻，扩大社交圈子。

朋友苦笑自己必须在两年内闯出成绩，因为女友要结婚。又说羡慕我的潇洒，因为我说要事业有成才能结婚，问我女友会否接受。

我只知道做男人，一定要闯一番事业，才有能力给家人一个富裕，安乐窝。除非我没么大志，随随便便足够就算，否则如何才能快乐，安乐？

人是贪婪的，我是贪婪的，不成功变成仁，我要奋斗！

是时候与老爸聊天，谈生意！

冲动

我常以冲动为理由，去做某一件事，不管最后是否成功

我受了不少挫败，但我并没有放弃

就是这种冲劲，才能让我不断前进，再接再厉

回看几年前的自己，曾不分昼夜，与世界各地的人玩游戏

期间发生不少趣事，被人示爱狂追，被人讨厌，被人崇拜等等

在游戏内我是一位猎人，擅长用弓箭杀敌

以我的好胜心态，不成功变成仁，结果不久便成为server最具杀伤力的玩家

你可能觉得为什么我们这么傻，浪费宝贵的青春去沉迷游戏

但你可知道游戏可带给我们现实生活中无法得到的乐趣和成就感

当然，人会成长，成熟，游戏的刺激感也逐渐减少

我离开了那个诱人的网络世界，回到现实，完成了大学

工作了半年，寻找理想工作的同时

有时候还在怀念，那个无忧无虑，闯荡世界的猎人 ：）

I ❤ Photography

a great shot requires the simplest tool with the utmost creativity
