3 years since..........

I was just aimlessly browsing and clicking through my facebook profile when I chanced upon the old note which I wrote when I ORD-ed. Thinking back, it has been about 3 years since then and I must say, so many things have changed.

We have all started studying. Some have finished, some are finishing and most have about 1.5 years more to go. It’s quite scary how time flies isn’t it? Gone were the days when you will tell your friends ‘ehh, lets meet 12noon at mrt station”. Now, you will ask like “eh, whose driving today ah?”. LOL. I think this is one of the most prominent changes so far that I’ve noticed. Well, I guess adapting to these changes means we are all growing up. Slowly but surely. ( or at least I want it to be slower).

I often hear people commenting about “not wanting to grow up”, “not wanting to grad” because they don’t want to embrace their next phases of life. I agree totally but I guess it’s something we cannot escape from so we should like totally embrace it right? Throughout my 3 years of education in uni and my few internships that I’ve did, I’ve learnt one thing. Its important to be happy and stay positive even through shitty times. Most people will probably go “ayee, what bullshit, of course must do this la!” But sadly, talk is cheap. If you really feel and act this way, you will probably feel better. So for now, I’ll look to everyday with a positive light!

Some people come, some people go. Well, I’ve heard so many breakups and so many couples getting together. I feel happy and sad at the same time ( obviously you can infer why from the previous line right?). If you meet the wrong person, then good riddance! It will probably do you more good than harping on it and hurting yourself.no? If you’ve found a great partner, thats great! Learn to cherish them. For myself, I’m glad I met you pohyu=).

I do believe that my train of thoughts and my actions have been different today compared with 3 years ago. I remember saying things without thinking much of the consequences(b4 i joined the army), but not so much now. I’ve always wondered if it is just a phase of maturity or that you learn as you grow and be more sensitive to your surroundings. Anyway, I think its a plus to think before you talk. #truestory. You never know how people will interpret you and its better to “sense” the ground before shooting your mouth off.

>. I think most people probably caught this show eh? This movie really kinda reminded me of the younger days in secondary school where we prank a lot and practically do nothing but play every day (cept jerking off in classes). I kinda had a flashback to all the good old days where we just play basketball and soccer everyday and had a blackjack addition (who can forget all the cornettos and chilli crab nissin noodles). Those I must say were the happiest times in our lives when we have nothing to worry about and you just have to look forward to where you are going to play next and what you’re eating. Fun times. Really.

Well, I’m not too sure what spurred me on to write this note on facebook but I guess it’s just some emotional outlet I guess? Probably feeling more so after catching up with practically every other group of friends this Christmas and festive season. From pri6 class, to sec sch clique, to jc mates army bros and uni peeps. Practically everyone who played an important part in my life =).

That’s it! One more sem to go, before embarking on a new journey. Till then.

festive season

Hohoho! Its the festive season around the corner and I’m in an elated mood. To be exact, holiday mood! When you’re working, every day of holiday feels so good! Seriously! Now I can’t decide whether I want to start working or continue studying.... hmmm.anyway I have 6 more mths of student life to complete before thinking about anything else.

Xmas parties have been great. Cept the office gift exchange which I got a crappy gift. Can u believe it?stress balls? 12 of it to be exact.. Nothing can be worse man. But anyways, besides that, I’ve gotten awesome gifts so far!

I’ve got a quilt (thanks sick pig), earphones(littleworm-akagongong), starbucks card and more to come! (i think?).

Having said all this, it meant that 2011 is coming to an end. I’ve had a great 2011 besides the academic results. Frankly, i still think that results aint everything and everyone shldnt be too caught up with it. But still, thinking that it is not everything and not putting in effort is two separate issues all together. Anyway, 2011 is awesome. I got to know my family better and spent more quality time with them. I’m beginning to understand that the simplicity in life in the form of family time is of utmost importance. I felt it very much when my parents went to China for one whole solid month. Going home to an empty flat is albeit mentioning-depressing. I’ll try to spend more time at home in 2012. =)

Also, I think 2011 is a great year cos I personally felt that I’ve gotten closer with pohyu. Many aspects pointed that out. We really really understand each other better now and I think that we are an awesome couple. As much as I like to show to people that I’m in a great relationship, I’m holding it back cos one of my close friends just had a breakup as well as my sis. Oh well, I’m sure they deserve better people! –to continue, hah.everytime I think about littleworm and me. I’ll smile secretly to myself inside. It really works out like *clap clap* and we just got together. Thinking back, I know her for like what 2-3 weeks? Then we started hanging out more and we got together like less than 1 month of knowing one another? Bullshit to those who say you cant find a great and awesome girlfriend in a short period of time. I’ll be the first to jump out and verify that it is not true!! I guess we are really suited for one another. Heh.

Now i really do believe that someone out there is made for you. For those who are attached, I hope that your other half is the one. For those who are single, I believe that you just haven’t found the right person. Its not any cliché or feel-good line, but I really believe in it.=)

Well, I cant wait to celebrate New Year Countdown as well as the upcoming Chinese New Year!

I love 2011 !! =D

It's been some time

Well, come to think of it. There were many times when I wanted to start writing on a blog again and its always like –typed 3 paragraphs and closed the page cos I didn’t know what to write or whether I wanted to write. But since I have some free time during my internship now, and there’s not much to do FOR NOW, I shall start blogging again.

Blogging- does anyone even do this nowadays? I’m not too sure but I figured out that it is a good avenue for me to just pen down my thoughts. Anyway, I’ve always been a very random person be it on speech or on writing. Probably few years down the road and I’ll look back at this post and go “oh ya, I can remember those days of internship at MICA.”

Yup, Currently I’m doing my internship at Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts. Well, I’m not exactly sure what it in it for me when I turn up for the first day of my job. However, I’m halfway between happy and not. Happy that I’m actually really doing something that will be able to boost up my resume in the hope of landing myself a better job and secondary, to earn some extra moolas to spend. The bad being that I’m given very adhoc assignments and it’s making me feel like a temp staff. This is not a good feeling and I’m actually contemplating whether to discontinue my internship if this goes on for one more week or so. In my honest opinion, if they really needed an intern –why do I end up having very ad hoc basis jobs to do? Also, Up till this stage in time, I don’t see any learning outcomes from what I was told to be expected. This doesn’t run contrary to my ideology being that I will learn something from whatever I do. I just feel like I’m wasting my time everyday waiting to be told what to do for that day as well as surfing the net aimlessly. To an extent, I felt that they hired me as an intern partly because the department has a lack of manpower now and also, to ease their workload of basic administrative duties so far such that they can go on their annual leave as well as whatever nots. I did consider bringing this up to the superiors and I’m still pondering if it is a right move to do.

Anyways, I just feel like I’m kinda wasting my time now and that I could actually landed myself a better internship elsewhere. I’m not trying to sound like a snob or that the internship at MICA is not good, just that I feel that I am not putting my abilities to the test here and that I could be doing something more constructive. Having said that, I’m quite pleased that the people in my office are a really nice bunch of people cept a few who doesn’t even return a smile when I do so. Oh well, bad day perharps?

Enough of my internship rants!

My life so far has been rather good. This is a simple yet complex statement I would say. Why? I feel that my life has been travelling in the right direction ever since the release of my A level results somewhere in March 2007. Has been more than 4 years since then and I can’t stress any more than realising how important it is to work hard and have a direction in life. It helps. Seriously. The goals and directions helps to guide my life and it has been rather smooth sailing so far.

Apart from my academic achievements, I’ve told myself many times that I wanted something. Set a goal, a date and I managed to do it. With that just adds on to my confidence to move on. It makes me believe that things do happen if you work for it, hard enough that is.

Well, this is a really pretty long post and honestly, I don’t expect anyone to read this as this blog has been dormant for the longest time.hah.

Having said such a long piece, Xmas is just round the corner and to be honest, I cant wait for it to come. This leading up to xmas time always perks me up in whatever I’m doing be it work, slack or whatnot.

Time to make merry my frens.hohoho.!
