Agony,frustrations!!argh...my trigger point of anger seems to be pretty low nowadays.Perhaps it's due to my laziness of not studying adequately sufficent to quote the minimun compared to last yr.
Indeed,after 2 papers...one ,psychology,gave me much hope in the sense that if u study,understand all those too eng thoerists and memorise a bit ..hmm it doesnt seems so bad after al..
Second one,Management accounting,understimated it and seriously..it isnt one subject where one could smoke thru...this explains the emphasis James has been telling us all yr round...
With 2 papers to go,I got to really buckle up and see what i can do to salvage this disatrous prelim..
Really wonder wat trigger or activates one sense or should i say feeling of unfairness,the eagerness of wanting to correct an behaviour or an action..wish I could turn off mine permanently and be one slacker waiting to be followed..
Perth trip has more or less been confirmed,this coming June..Many thanks to xiwen,jin n Han,for their sacrifice of time to coordinate this trip..hopefully my expenses wont be too high..if bungee jumping's on the itnery,i would be eager to try,but wonder will i make the leap..haha..
CNY been a pretty blast in the sense that it was a thorough twist from the monotonous behaviour of studying...did all the usual stuffs,feeling decreased a bit,i realised i was looking forward to CNY nt because of the renuion or foodies,bt more to the 3 days of break..haha..
Alrite,back to the studies now..
Take care

Standard Chartered 2009
YEsh,finally completed my 1st marathon yesterday.Wasnt jubilant nor excited,as I underestimated the race. Trained for 1 to 2 weeks prior to the race with the longest capped at 16 km when the race is a whopping 42.195 km.
True enough,the 1st 25 km seems like a breeze to me,but after that cramps starts to momentarily attack my body,be it the back,my thighs,shin,it was a torture. To make things worse older folks and ladies runners was surpassing me, throughout I attempted to run but the acheness prevented me from doing so. And there I was walking n walking to run till the 40km,yes the 40 km mark before i tell myself i m not going to finish this marathon walking,and jogged to the finish line. Timing:5hrs 13 mins. Not pleased with myself...argh..
This will not be my last marathon,but i make sure i trained sufficently before attemting another one.
Mood was sorely temperemental because of the lack of rest and the poor timing.
Alrite shld write till here.

Please,please go away
Was writing this post yesterday when i decided not to post it eventually.
Aunties in my hse are creating hell of a havoc,with buying plans for an apartment,with hefty interest rates nowadays,I dont wish to see my parents working hard jus to return interest to the bank.Talking about sharing the flat together.
The problem lies in tat my auntie has the capital without the need for loaning or increasing her income=more OT.My dad doesnt.
Dad always does things with us in mind,With a debt waiting to be cleared,it jus pushes him negatively to work harder,with us reaping the full benefits.While my auntie jolly well could loan a lower amount sum,n given her status,it would soon be repaid,hence,lesser interest rates and faster of reaping the benefits.
Auntie got the keys for her hse today,and is simply music to my ears.
Enough of these things.
Went for Denise 21st b'dae at Cine,we were overly dressed..haha to an extend..but hey,there wont be as much fun had us been wearing commoner clothes,isnt it..haha
Wore a Peter Pan costume on that day,pants resemble Aerobic thighs..LOL..but is really once in a lifetime experience...Pretty fun,gg bk to childhood times
Other than those,not much of actions...work n work n work still carrying on...
Time to study,Prelims not far frm now..must limit myself to play n allow myself to study...sounds weird..haha,profound meaning inside..

END of my JTC journey
Yesterday marks the last day of my JTC Era,the company that I worked the longest:3 months Full time.
Plenty of emotions,first day there,was expecting a "cultural shock" as mentioned by the interviewer..however it wasnt meant to be.Ushered into the Human Resource(HR) dept,this was 1 place that would teach me tons of things in time to come.
Registry,a room where multiple of compactors filled the room thronged by millions of files,my job was to bundle them,to make the moving of these files to a new level smoother.Yet,on the very 1st day,we worked our guts out moving boxes of after boxes laden with paper inside,little did we knew that that day was coincidentally the disposal day where unwanted papers and boxes are thrown.
There was the ocassional chat with the HR staff,an office isnt complete without it's people,as the saying goes.Nice friendly people who justify the reason for their existence in this dept.There was Haslindal,our "manager" one who at times muddle headed but who would break in to a thunder of laughter,often infecting others around her.There was Our interviewer as well who almost or should I say recruited my friend as her godson.A lady who keep up with times and could follow up on our crappy and nosensical words..through her,presented an image that could at times be crappy and at times be no nosense and serious.Lastly,it was our real manager,our supervisor,a tall lady who despite holding a senior post lingers no air around her.She brings a friendly and cheerful disposition into
the office,often enquiring on whether we wan anything to eat or drink.She has the charisma that make u feel regretful for lazing on the job.Despite all her stresses, her face never fails to have a smiley face.That manager leaves a rather deep trail in my working life.
Buffet treats were a common esp,during training days,where we could save up on lunch,haha Courtesy of Dennis and gang.Including the cleaning auntie we would indulge in this feast which were nice foodies.
Work began to get tough,there were discussions on how to bundle and number the files,deadlines came and storage space issue came into play.These were solved pretty easily with a little help frm our Dy Dir.
Soon came the day of moving up,we were popular at least for that period of time where almost everyone in the Dept required our assistance in moving,packing or loading/unloading.
They were so thankful that they hosted a morning buffet for the both of us on our last day.
Unpacking were a chore,arranging,rearranging followed by more rearranging,largely attributed to the absence of a laptop where our bundle could be checked by file numbers.We managed to conquered it all.
Who could also forget the lunch hour, where a large whole gang of ard 9-10 pple would
gather at the lobby,walking to the food center,occupying the zhi char table with 1 or 2 ordering from the zhi char store.
JTC taught me skills which were invaluable and it's people inside made it concrete.
Most importantly,the pay allows me to render half of my school fees..haha..

Stumble
When would you be be most likely to stumble when you talk? Has anyone posed this qn to u before?
I did tonight,she wasnt really pretty,yet she had a special aura around her.Her carefree mood,the righteousness to stand out for wat's right and her presence itself.
She could have choosed to ignore yet she asked,and this only serves to further increase my admiration for her.
Clearly my obstacle's still there,but 1 day I am sure I get rid of tat.1 day.

Uber Uber Long
Long long time since I last update on this blog.
Pretty monotonous,working at JTC + Lifeguard duties on weekends,nothing surprising..Cept tat getting to know the China Lifeguards pple view towards topics be it religion,education or history.They have an immense understanding of their long history and able to explicitly voice out the dates,their morale and in which state.
Mahjong with the usual primary sch clicks,lost $6,pretty much a lesson save for the fact tat when I had 3 tai and was waiting for the "one" when somehow,i could/managed to leak 1 tile away and could not hu/win...argh,haha..
Went NIte cycling with the ODAC gang and for the 1st time,I was involved in the OG not as a participant but as a sweeper,whose role consist of riding behind the last man of ur OG..Pretty fun and our OG was united and tat made the cycling even at the wee hours of the day fun,50 km of cycling!!
On a closer side,Resentment starts to arise towards my aunties,who prefer to treat my house as their own place.Bringing in my grandma or grandfather 1 by 1,week by week...and mind you,they have lots of places to go to and they ultimately still choose our already cramped place.Lucky for me,they have since bought a place and would be moving out by the end of the year.The thing is tat I dont have any ill feelings towards my aunties or grandparents but it just kinda make you sort of uncomfortable,tat kind of nt ur home tat kind of feeling,and I loathe that..a lot.
AHM gonna arrives this week and man,my longest distance ran for now is only 12 km...hopefully to complete it within 2hrs 10 mins...my ultimate aim
Tat's all for now.

Work,work,work
Working at JTC lately,less of a Blanga and more of an Real office worker lest the fact tat i din managed to touch the com much.Though was assigned a table,tat table was primary for placing my bag...Colleagues has been pretty nice and we get along well...esp my "manager",tat Anita Sarawak...no,she doesnt have deep,poultry lips neither do she hail from M'sia...But she's jus funny and act in such a way tat resemble Anita's exagerated acts,it's a joy to see her everyday...
Pretty monotonus,Mon to Fri,Work......Sat work as lifeguard,wat to do,Blame UOL for their hefty and skyhigh school fees,$$$$ for my school fees,these 3 months would most prob have more of work hours than leisure hours..lets start drawing the Labour curve,the backward bending labour curve applies....hahaha
My jobs are ones tat doesnt requires much of brain cells,instead,it counts pretty much on ur aggressiveness and the efficency...so at the end of everyday,my body sibei shag,brain used less than 1%,i think tats the prob with white collar jobs workers,as their pay is relativey lower than white collar workers,they simply make up their reduced pay with more hours worked.As the cost of production decreases,factories are unable to afford to pay the usual price for a factory worker,and yet at lower prices,there are simply takers.If u dun take take,there are aplenty out there who will gladly or grumbly take it.those pple who take it doesnt mind devoting majority of their time to work,a thing tat they wont and will never enjoy.Because a large portion of their time is devoted to work,less time is avaliable for them to consume products which they dervies much satisfaction from,instead they merely spend on necessity items and lives a fragile on a meagre salary.To make matter worst,loyalty doesnt counts for much nowadays,examples of workers with 25,15,20 yrs of long service awards being retrenched are common sights..Awards count for nothing,they simply signify tat one has devoted much of one's life to tat comapany,with ages come experience,and tat experience can simply be substituted with mentoring from a senior personnel for ard 6 mths,perhaps even shorter and there u go,mastery of the ropes.

exam's over!
Exam's finally over!!I know is long long overdue since my last paper was on the 21st of May.And I dun have that kind of relieved feeling/sensation that I tot I was supposed to have.In fact,it was a feeling of pondering and reviewing of the questions in my head.Counting the marks that I gain or rather lose,haha, whether it reaches 34.
34 may seems easy but come,take the paper and u know that 34 is really hard to attain.
Went out with JQ and Yufan after our last paper and watched the Wolverine.Nice show,especially when he was injected with the agent X,the anguish,astonishing tolerance for pain when the needle drilled into his skull and other parts.Fantastic act by the Labelled"sexiest mammel on Earth"..haha
Went to numerous recruit agencies and 0 i mean NONE!! called back....this is depressing man,and also reflects how much grads or better qualified pple there are here.
Did a chocolate/candy sales asst. at a fair at Suntec city.It has been ages since i stand for so long...and it really aches..haha.it's as if someone poured 1 gallon of lime juice over ur feets,just imagine tat...Choco n candies are pretty cheap as these are near their expiry dates...for those interested,it's at Hall 401.
Recently tot of the enthu and agressiveness tat I should have that propels me to move forward.I am fearful of losing that thing.

Should I or should I not?
Biathlon is jus next week,should I join the competition??No adequate training,in fact never tried swimming in the sea,never tried from swim to run or the other way..all these seems to suggest tat maybe I should give it a miss...probability of missing this event is 0.7
Starting to get complacent,treating this exam as warm up and there's the consolation that there's TWO more mths after this premlim b4 the real thing....cant be happy...answering the qns,techniques...argh..all these have nt even tried yet and here I am getting yaya n papaya.

Moved
Aunties are comfortably settled in my house now.My aunties asked me a question"ah ken,why are you so quiet at home".cos there's the TV,radio n com producing noise..dah..haha...
Biathlon coming in less than 30 days..woo,wonder can I complete the run.Hopefully with some luck,I may be able to complete the race.Running gives u those endorphins which kinda makes u happy,be it pre-run,running(early part) or post-run.Tats y running is so much a portion in my life even though I has a pair of flat feets.
Ncap's over,the test was simple,by looking at Sir and the demo n examples he presented in class was suffice for me to complete the test...
Celebrated BL birthday,gave him a racket n some cocks,i mean shuttlecocks as his 23rd birthday present.HAng ard at the playground,and found tat students frm NTU were generally more effective in using their time.They Utilise their time well...thinking,brainstorming every problems,I think that's the diff under diff educational institutions.Being taught by a person who has immense interest in his work such tat he does research versus someone who has quite a bit of interest but is more focused on delivering the lessons n finishing.I think mine belong to the latter.
CNY's not over yet,wishing everyone Happy niu year...haha,niu niu da shun for everyone in this niu year.

NO LIFE
Yup,tat appropriately sums up my activities for the past few days.
Helped my aunties moved house last week,into my house,4 cupboards,tons of bags n suitcases,1 queen size bed...it was massive,some were fitted into the house at woodland as well.
Feeling kinda injustice being done to my aunties,someone needed cash for a new flat,had to sell away exisitng one...jus becos tat someone bought a bloody big flat.
Just doesnt makes economical sense with 2 kids n a maid,do u need such a big flat?
U still sleep on ONE bed,sit on a couch,watch ONE TV...does the size of the flat matters?Now with them away from my ah ma hse,i can bid my 2 cousins farewell,save for CNY,seeing them is tantamounting to striking 4D...ok la,3 numbers.3D.....
Attended 5 lessons on NCAP nw,lecturers were engaging cept for 1....Met Gabriel who was there for Swimming Coach as well...he's a DA in Life saving,which is like 2 more stages b4 becoming a life-saving instructor..impressive,should have continue previously and not stop @ BM for me..
NCAP lessons were pretty lively,to put it in another way,it was more of a dialogue with the lecturers instead of the lect teaching n we sitting there aborbing.A breather in fact after studying...u go down there n listen to the lect n the qns..give u a diff point of view from the usual profits n all tat nonsense from my SIM notes.
Alrite,the time nw is 3.06am and I m surprise as to why there's the sudden urge to update this blog of mine at this hour.Gonna hit the beds now.

Libra libra libra ...cruise
Got back from Star cruise Libra on new year's eve.Went to Phuket on it,but after travelling for 2 days on tat mega ship,all we got was a whopping 6 hours on tat island.
BEautiful island,1st time I set foot there...The Phatong beach waters were pretty clear and lots of beach chairs with mats on it thronged the beach.They charge for the beach chairs though..weird.Mom went for massage with my ah yis while we went to tour the place.Sold lots of things,mainly shirts,accessories,VCDs,plenty of Bars n poles ..haha..saw a T-shirt with the words"good man goes to Heaven,bad man goes Phatong"appropriate,doesnt apply to all.
6 hours went as fast as it came,and soon it was back to the ship.The 5 D 4 N on the ship wasnt as bored as i tot.Went to the gym which was surprisingly spacious,swam,sun tanned and the 1 thing tat really live up my spirit-food.It was arranged in buffet style n some buffet cum ala carte.Food wasnt bad,the stirilon steak still lingering in my memories,plus the lamb chop which smell wasnt tat bad with the gravy,it was in fact much like chicken or other meats.
The Theatres-Galaxy of the star had nite shows everyday,so most nites were spent there n after tat,we would go up to sing KTV till 2am,beer was cheap after 12 am,$3/can,no other charges cept drinks,worthwhile.oh yea,running in the gym while the ship was moving,unforgettable man...Casinos was filled for most nites,din played much..
Ran with EL last fri and my legs still ache...saw a bapok,..this was one who looked every bit like a man lest for his dressing.
School started last friday,unaware of tat,thanks to junquan msg...Exams drawing near,is back to the notes for me man...still trying to increase no. of studying hours,when u have less temptations,such as TV,the post i m typing nw,etc,the higher probabilities u would study longer.Tats true.
Biathlon coming in ard 2 mths time,have nt yet attempt to combine swim plus run..indivdual items wise,able to completete..see how it goes...

Ran with EL last fri and my legs still ache...saw a bapok,..this was one who looked every bit like a man lest for his dressing.
School started last friday,unaware of tat,thanks to junquan msg...Exams drawing near,is back to the notes for me man...still trying to increase no. of studying hours,when u have less temptations,such as TV,the post i m typing nw,etc,the higher probabilities u would study longer.Tats true.
Biathlon coming in ard 2 mths time,have nt yet attempt to combine swim plus run..indivdual items wise,able to completete..see how it goes...

Merlion
Jus came back from my FOC chalet from Pasir Ris,vommited like a merlion after playing the card games which has u to drink from the (pure)mixed vodka everytime u did smthg wrong.And now my thorat hurts as though i Swallowed a durian shell.Very
fun,cept for the memorising which card has which function.
BBQ was left with much foodies..thks to Junhan for setting the fire while I,Joel n Li wei became cyclops for that period of time,using our u-know-what.haha..
Gift exchange was conducted in an unusual manner,20 of us,the no.1 tagged person could choose present 1st,however his was the most unlucky one as his present was up for grab for the rest...meaning anyone from tag 2-20 could exchange with him,and he would have to oblige.got a glass cup bt tot tat the box was more expensive than the cup..hahaha..next time u receive a box from me..hmm...
Rather disappointed the way the X'mas celebration for our sec sch gang had turned out.I contributed a part to it as well and so did others...let jus say that once u promise,something stick to it....this impt lesson shld have been learnt..
Yidojang outing was a success,beautiful weather,beach wasnt crowded tat day,nthg adverse happened....jus wat we had planned for.
The kids were enthu,and the amazing race was done quite smoothly and the beach games as well..Dinner @ settler was alrite,bt on some time,I do agree tat preparation costs could have been further cut.
Mus start running or else the biathlon gonna starts with me lagging behind...swam the swim trial and completed in 32 mins 20 plus sec...while Jin completed it @ 29 mins 20 plus sec..which to me was fast..

Something's missing? yup,it's studying..aim to study 30 mins/day 1st..then I see how it goes..

Resolved
The whole matter was resolved after intervention frm the ACM.It turns out tat the one responsible wasnt Mdm FF,it was another full time lady staff.She,being a foreigner and yet speaks such tales,loathe such a person.Doesnt she know the repercussion of such spreading of words to whomever?Just because she has some grudges with Mr D,can mean tat she can use me as a bystander or an object to stir something up...Bloody A*%.!!
Went Genting together with Han,Zhongquan,Liyun,huimin and Jane.Genting was cold and the bus ride jus went in circles,next time should have requested for a early check in.the afternoon check in made us really shag,nevertheless,we still managed to make our own production,a rather hilarious images show while slacking..haha..
Theme park wasnt tat exciting,din dare to sit the magnificiant spaceshot,sat on the cockcscrew,the viking,the swing..tat was abt all..haha,we got a temporary tatoo of a butterfly on various parts of our body,cool leh.zhongquan had one in the chest..woo..
CAsino was an eye opener,thousands of jackpot machines with their amazing graphics and hundreds n thousand of dollars being represent in chips changing hands..there were 21 pts,roulette,pairs,3 kings and big small,some which i dont quite rmb...Played big small,placing 4 chips on BIG,2 on no.8,2 on no.9 and 2 on no.10...guesss wat....it opened 7!!!!ar!!
Tough luck...but stopped playing and in total lost 100 Rm...
Went KL the next day,raining cats n Dogs in Chinatown.A polo Tee dark blue in colour with red strips with the logo intact was appearently the hottest item tat day..haha..Din changed much,Whole place still looked the same..ate the Hokkien mee,wasnt as good as the last time I ate it..think the person who cooked it isnt the same.
Ate Tim Sum for our Brunch b4 setting off in the genting hotel restaurant...quite tasty,esp their chee chong fun n carrot cake..
Yea,and this was about all frm our trip..pretty enjoyable..
PAcked my notes into Files Finally...phew..
maybe registering for the SIngapore Biathalon 2009,anyone interested?

Frustrating
Have been working at Jurong East Swimming complex for the past 3 weeks,quite intensively.Something bad happened at work today.I was the starter,the wronged and the accused all 3 in 1.
While working today ,the assistant manager came to talk to me,I tot it was smthg tat was related to work.no it was wasnt,instead it had smthg to do with wat I said.Guess wat I said,nt nasty,nt terribly bad,not insulting words,instead it was jus a question,a innocent and harmless question.
Everyone working at the pool are more or less recommended by someone else from the pool,hence they are related somehow.Imagine asking someone,lets name him Mr D,"whose husband is Mdm B ?" and he gives you a reply it's P.Hmm,I knew P since my poly days and it was rather strange tat he would recommend his wife to work here...Sensing something was amiss,I went to ask mdm FF,and she disputed this fact and said tat wat Mr D said wasnt true...and said tat it was she who recommended Mdm B here to work. I see,it wasnt unusual for Mr D for bluffing n teasing pple.I tot it was the end,a simple question which ended up with 1 false and 1 true answer.
A week later,which is today,the manager "F" me for spreading rumours,for asking questions tat werent to be ask,saying things tat ought to be kept mum.Was it true,I dont think so.Is asking a question tat concerned your colleague wrong,was the question indecent,explicit or intruding...NO,it wasnt 1 bit at all..and yet I was the one being blamed.The anger is raging,tat kind tat stay in your heart,words of unjustice floods your mind,no matter how hard you try you jus cant afford a smile,nt even showing your teeth.
I dont blame Mdm B as she is famous for being upright,tat kind who takes things a mere too seriously.The one whose at fault is Mdm FF,surprised I blamed her?Here's why,Mdm FF knew Mdm B longer than any of us at the pool,in fact she recommended Mdm B to the pool,knowing tat Mdm B was those serious,no jokes person,she went ahead and told her,WTF....Why?tats the big question in my mind today,this entire episode could hae ended with Mdm FF,and yet she prefered to tell Mdm B,really dont understand her
watever motive for saying.All thanks to her, nw Mr D may face being reprimanded by the mgt.Watever previous grudges bear by Mdm ff to Mr D,why must she transfer the black face to me...and I tot Mdm FF was a nice lady...ARRGH...Wat makes me more the guily was tat Mdm B came and tell me it wasnt my fault,it was Mr D who spread this thing who is responsible...wonder wats going to happen,but the next time I work,I am not gonna ask anything,I jus keep my mouth tight and hear stuffs tat spoken by others.
This post has really been boring as I am really very frustrated..being stabbed by someone,losing a fren..and all these nonsense..
Will update on the genting trip on my next post.

Screwed up on my ORDed date,din did survey and ended up spending 1.5 hr doing tat,plus the clearance...which caused me to forgo tat sentosa outing by OG4...My sincerest apologises to Pearl,Dapahane n Ming long for not being there...paiseh,tat ORD took a tat too long,I being the co-ordinator yet was nt ard,think owe you guys 1 big one...

AHM CONQUERED!
It was the AHM yesterday.Went on a cab early in the wee hours with Kian n kia.Met up with Di xuan over there.Drizzle a bit,but the rain stopped within starting moments of the race. Inching to the starting point,we finally got to run at rd 6.45...woo,early in the morning breeze and people zooming past you,on the public road..fantastic feeling.
First 5 km was jus about jostling with people for space,overtaking people at a rather snail pace.The next 5 km was when we entered East Coast park thru Fort road..we picked up pace and ran on the grass patch most of the time.Upon the turning point,I was rather relived as the turning point seems quite far,further than the twice runs that I did at ECP...but alas,at the 11 km point,while overtaking,I sprained my left ankle,the pain was bearable and I continued the run up to the marina barrage where I stopped, passing by a newly construsted road which consist of newly tarred road,which was the most difficult part to run.This part though new,had cement and soil and one has to look out constantly,esp me,as I din want to sprain my ankle for the 2nd time on the uneven surfaces.
The last 4 km was a killer,having ran only up to to 16 km during training,it was all about pushing myself.Every breathe of air smelled so nice. I break away from di xuan,and ran and stop,ran n stop at times..every step seems like a possible cramp coming up...the 18-19 km was like never ending,the poster for 19 km seems to have been misplaced.Finally,saw it near the turn near lau pa sat,ran,keep telling myself not to stop,however it was jus too gruelling,stopped once,walked for a few moments then went on to finish the race at the Padang.Last 500m was where encouragement from the side really counts,the shouts n cheers really set u up on an adrealine high.
Finished the race in ard 2 hrs 15 mins,wasnt a very good timing,but it falls in my target of finishing below 2hrs 30 mins.Wasnt really esctatic like wat other runners has said when I passed the finishing line,perhaps it's the stopping part,shouldnt have made a number of stops along the run.Nevertheless,the race is completed,job done..and it's time my legs take a much awaited break...
Yea,it was Chun hong birthday as well yesterday,went with BL,kia,kian to Crystal Jade to celebrate. Had a tough time deciding whether it was chinese noodles or japanese ramen,decide on the former since ramen were quite costly.the xiao long bao was tasty and the salted duck with bun,was a good choice for a side dish.
