Badminton at RP
Walk into Rp, first thing to do was admire the wonderful building structure
Their designing definitely better than NYP. Their waterfall was classical.

Interview at Starhub
I turned up late to take the form, then they asked me to quickly rush down to Dhoby Gaut for the interview..
Turned up late again, then what happen? I call to Evelyn, she say i late have to go back Recuit Express to go with the rest... I was like wtf!!!
Orchard to Dhoby Gaut then back to Orchard....
How can i possibly listen to that.. I talked to the Starhub people, they asked me into the interviews since i was here.. At least they were more understanding..
The interview was very formal. She asked questions like "How do you think your strength fits in to this job?" or "If a customer calls and kao peh.. What would you do.."
Since it was a job to answer complain calls, i answered "My strength is it think quick and react at the point of time.."
"If the customer call and kao peh, just listen.."
Sometimes you don't always have to tell the truth...
Phew got the job already...

What did i do today?
What did i do today. I've been idlely still for 15mins pondering about that question.
Interview in the morning with heechai and friends, loiter around orchard.
2 choice of job, first $7 an hr picking normal calls, the other one $9 per hr handling complain calls.
Since its $9 why not, i decided to take the risk...
Saw grace's blog http://www.chinesegrace.blogspot.com and saw Edwin. His in beijing already.. woohoo... His dream came true..
I can admit his just one daring person to go beijing alone.

A Blueprint to Regenerate Limbs
In its own way, the axolotl salamander is a mighty beast. Chop off its leg, and the gilled creature will grow a new one. Freeze part of its heart, and the organ will form anew. Carve out half of its brain, and six months later, another half will have sprouted in its place. "You can do anything to it except kill it, and it will regenerate," says Gerald Pao, a postdoctoral researcher at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, in La Jolla, CA.
That extraordinary power of regeneration inspired Pao to probe the axolotl salamander's DNA. Despite decades of research on the salamander, little is known about its genome. That began to change last year, when Pao and his collaborators won one billion bases' worth of free sequencing from Roche Applied Science, based in Indianapolis. Now that the data is in, scientists can finally begin the hunt for the genetic program that endows the animal with its unique capabilities.
While all animals can regenerate tissue to a certain extent--we can grow muscle, bone, and nerves, for example--salamanders and newts are the only vertebrates that can grow entire organs and replacement limbs as adults. When a leg is lost to injury, cells near the wound begin to dedifferentiate, losing the specialized characteristics that made them a muscle cell or bone cell. These cells then replicate and form a limb bud, or blastema, which goes on to grow a limb the same way that it forms during normal development.
Scientists have identified some of the molecular signals that play a key role in the process, but the genetic blueprint that underlies regeneration remains unknown. Researchers hope that by uncovering these molecular tricks, they can ultimately apply them to humans to regrow damaged heart or brain tissue, and maybe even grow new limbs.
In order to quickly identify sections of the salamander's genome involved in regeneration, the scientists sequenced genes that were most highly expressed during limb-bud formation and growth. They found that at least 10,000 genes were transcribed during regeneration. Approximately 9,000 of those seem to have related human versions, but there appear to be a few thousand more that don't resemble known genes. "We think many of them are genes that evolved uniquely in salamanders to help with this process," says Randal Voss, a biologist at the University of Kentucky, who is working on the project.

Last Day at KPMG
Sad to have to leave this place even though it doesn't bring me the best of memories. After 3 months of attachment, i felt that my heart already got attached to this company. I bid farewell to everyone, apologised to Vincent for the misbehaviour.
But still shoik, went to ITS to return our laptops and at least was fortunate enough to meet Kimberly, that chio bu over there... Maybe its fate?....
Our 31th floor sign
Our last day lunch @ a vietname restaurant
Yummy Beef Noodle
My office space...

Funny news
Man Almost Loses Penis Humping Steel Bench
Last night in Hong Kong, the police received a disturbing call from a man in trouble.
Xing, a 41 year-old man, was calling from LanTian park in the middle of the night. The lonely and disturbed man had apparently thought it would be fun to have sex with one of the steel sit-up benches around the park.
The bench has numerous small holes in it, which Xing used to attempt to satisfy himself. However, once he became aroused he found that he was stuck and could not get his penis out of the small hole.
He panicked and called the police to help him.
When police arrive they found Xian stuck face down where he had been stuck for some time.
When doctors arrived on the scene they tried to release some of the pressure by removing some of his blood, but the penis was so swollen that they ended up having to cut the entire bench free and take it, with Xian attached, to the hospital.
4 painful hours later, Doctors finally separated Xian from his bench.
Doctors stated that if he had been stuck for even an hour longer, they would have had to remove his penis.
Lets just say this is probably one bad date that Xing will never forget.
You can see a news video on it here.

What a depressing day
Came to office today with a sloppy look, as if just got up from bed... Turned on my laptop, on my eclipse, and as usual, have to wait for 20mins for it to load all the libraries...
Stare at the laptop, unable to do anything, while my eclipse sucked up all the resources building its workspace....
Brought mx screen protector for him this morning, which i ordered a few days ago from Ebay...
Ebay.sg is just so convenient... Just have to use ibank transfer cash to the seller, and he will ship the product to your home a few days later....
Kinda save lots of time...
After that found that stupid error in my program, unable to print out the records in the pdf...
I was like wtf, spend the whole day solving that error, asked Heekien, Wendi for help.. Still cannot solve... Then Gina, mx tell me need create something then can test....
Today just not my day... Spend whole day solving something which is not causing a problem...
Lucky Flynn jio me pool after work, if not i scared i'll just jump off the building cause i'm so depressed....
Unlucky me during pool again... Keep missing my chances, let Flynn have his winning streaks...
After pool's Daytona... First time.... Machine spoil...knn
Second time, sway sway lose to flynn again... haha wtf....
Had sushi for 50% off... Then sit MRT home, while watching sex and the city on my zen x-fi....
time flies... 1 and a half more weeks to go to finish attachment... Hooray..

A sunday's rest, well, not everyday is sunday
Played dota whole day today..... Keep on using sa...my fav hero
Then after that went for jogging.... Found a really effective way of jogging today... relaxed but yet super effective
Effective Jogging to build your stamina
-jog slowly for 15mins relaxed
-stride / sprint for 1-3mins(feel the tiredness)
-jog slowly to let your body recover oxygen and continue stridding / sprinting....
-repeat this cycle
I jogged 6km and still have energy to sprint another 400 metres....
Went to the library today to borrow these 2 books... interesting stories... Who interested can borrow from me
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress
taken from wiki
During the height of the Chinese Cultural Revolution in 1971 (see Down to the Countryside Movement), the sons of two allegedly reactionary doctors are sent to a remote village on the fictional mountain Phoenix of the Sky to be 're-educated' by hard work and peasant living. There, the two characters meet the local tailor's daughter (the Little Seamstress) and discover a collection of various translated Western novels hidden by another city boy sent to the country for re-education, Four-Eyes. As they flirt with the seamstress and secretly devour these banned works, they find transit from their grim surroundings to worlds they never imagined.
The Olympic Miscellany
taken from this site
In over 100 years, the Summer Games have provided the sporting world with some truly historic moments, involving many of the greatest sportsmen and women of modern times. This book presents the reader with hundreds of facts about the Olympic Games on a range of topics, from individual competitors and famous teams to sports politics and scandals.

Make a difference day!
What a day well spent at "make a difference day" in pertapis Children home.... With our company Kpmg and staff, we painted and touch up the entire home..... After lunch, i and heechai decided to play basketball... 2 boys joined us for the game and we had great fun...
After the game, we drank some orange juice and head over to the VIP aircon room to slack and take an afternoon nap...
About 3pm we head down to the girls home... when its time for the prize giving, the children seemed so happy..
Thought the prizes were just tip-bits...
After that, they each receive a happy meal and a pizza for each would satisfy them more than anything else...
Kids there playing soccer
Zi quan walking with a breeze....
Ming xiang....
Heechai laughing at dunno what...
naughty boy spoil the net... go bring ladder to fix it..
remind me of my primary school days....
