Going for ICT later :o

on the other side

Maybe it is better to be alone... nobody's expectations to meet... only your opinions matter... don't have to care about what other people think... don't have to care about anyone...










but nobody else will care about you too.... :/
... sadded..

good rest

I was walking around Orchard alone yesterday. It was actually quite enjoyable as I was exploring the stores in "Mandarin Gallery" for the first time... dunno whether the name is correct.. :/


Had a cup of "blizzard" ice cream while walking towards ion...


Had a plate of sushi while reading a book... hmmm...

All these could take place because I didn't feel well for the past few days and took a mc from a polyclinic in the morning... :p

.
.

I just remembered what was my biggest turn off... my insecurity..


hmmm... what would i do if i am not insecure?

upgrade for the day :o

"NW CDC is about bridging the gap between the rich and the poor. Let's say that there is this situation of someone poor living to someone rich. NW CDC will provide a platform whereby the poor person will not get jealous of the rich person and scratch their car. The same platform will also reduce or prevent cases whereby the rich will despise the poor...

It acts as a facilitator. An example is that it may match dollar for dollar from a sponsor but it will just say that the donation is wholly from the sponsor...

A lot of people are entitlement-minded. If the government gives help, most locals will think it's an entitlement. But if the help is given from others, such as private organizations, they will appreciate it a lot more..."



My whine was answered :o A few days back, I was lamenting that I will be rotting my life away at my temporary job. Then today, the GM called the temps into the office and had a short chat with us. She did not talk to us about how we can help the CDC. She talked to us about how we can make this period a more fulfilling and meaningful one.

Our efforts may not be wasted because of the remuneration, but we should be careful not to waste our time :o

1. Be more gumptious
2. Be more inquisitive

... Shall return to my work now :s

value-add me

gr appreciates the affirmations and encouragement always given by titus and ron during ktv sessions :o
gr also appreciates the presence of david cum bff :o ... just somehow know that he will not look down on me...


Guess I was just tired of myself only having a heart and nothing else... Upgrade upgrade :o
Good times will be here :o

go away mr cough!

These three guys were talking about soccer... :s
Though it was a hectic meet up and we did not really catch up much, I was reminded of how much they have helped me throughout the years and the fact that they are still here although my frequency weren't that similar to theirs.

Thank you andy!! for lending me your non-camera phone :o

Free wishes for everyone :o
As long as you set the details (e.g. type, deadline, etc.) and believe it and try your best to make it come true, help will be given to make it into reality... :)

desperate move

wtf... I'm still in the same place.... :s

move!

miss out

Is it just me or nobody wants to be left out? e.g. close friends' outing, close friend's birthday, close friend's wedding, lunch with close colleagues, wishes from close friends, happiness...

Sometimes, it is not a matter of what we are missing out. It is about whether we really want to do those things, whether the enjoyment we derive from those things, are worth us putting the effort to go upon achieving it.

One thing to be happy about: when people i know, grows to be more confident of themselves :o

community sweets

I went for a brisk walking event which is organized by NW CDC this morning :o

Before I started my temporary job at NW CDC, all I knew about the government, was the PAP, a bit about the Opposition parties, the GST rebates, MOE, and maybe some other miscellaneous matters. I felt that there are other areas that are under-appreciated or not appreciated by the locals. The community work done by NW CDC and other similar agencies, is one such area.


Actually, I like listening to the different experiences of others. Then why do I not spend time talking to my family and listening to theirs? :s ... I think it is because I don't like it.. or rather, I'm not used to it.

Dr Teo Ho Pin, Mayor of North West District, posing for a photo with participants from a certain constituency...

Participants can actually register for free and they will receive a free t-shirt and free food and water after every walk. .... I heard from a source that some china peeps can actually be very "cheapskate" and demand for more food and water :s Then I was saying that there should be Singaporeans who behave in the same way, then the source said that Singaporeans are lazier... :s ... haha..
But the participants were all quite well behaved today..



Andrew :o ... Photographer of the day. The other two names that I learnt today, are Ah-Dan and Iris, who are friends that came for the walk together.

“你要吃糖吗？” ... :6

kaleidoscope

I just went to sign my contract at MOE this morning... It has the most well-equipped auditorium that I've ever seen.


It has side tables. It even has plugs and "holes" for lan wires :o

I'm damn tired... Feels that I've been leading a too hedonic lifestyle.. Maybe, it is because I haven't been practising much discipline in exercising.. :s

I am attracted to dreams... especially those unpolished ones...

sweet dreams

haven't dreamt about the future in a loooonngg time.... suddenly have the urge to do it soon..


.. Time to have something to look forward to in the future :o

baby brother

Does the photo below look familiar to you?


It's the twitter whale :o ... Think SMRT got the idea from there... :s


... "Hi.. Can i get to know you?"

the reflection is closer than you think

Would you like to be with a mirror?
One which can show you your own brilliance, your own flaws, your own everything.. and accepts you. It's hard to appreciate a mirror though... because you can only see yourself in it, and it may be difficult to take notice of the mirror itself...

Would you like to be with a mirror for long? ...

move

Last sat, we had a cookout at david's place :o









Titus made the sushi rice and taught all of us how to form sushi rolls :o which I thought, was the highlight of the evening :p The rest of us did sandwiches, ice cream with cookies and chocolate fondue... and I thought pasta would be the easiest to make dish and i banned it from the cookout... haha..

Thinking too much has become so much of a habit for me... Been busy creating dramas in my head... :/ I should just stick to watching them on my com or tv...

.
.
.

I saw these photos stuck on my colleague's cubicle yesterday and while we were talking, he shared his past stories of working at SBC with me.


Taken on the set of "咖啡屋".. dunno whether it is this wu(1) ... :/



Been getting more used to office work... Luckily, I have my mp3 player to make the work and lack of talking company more bearable and enjoyable :o

For those people who seldom or don't spend time alone with themselves, just not doing anything... is it that scary?
...or boring?
...or lonely?

It is so easy to get caught up with impressions. Impressions which are presented by others, and impressions which you want to show to others.
Reasons for impressing others:
-to allow others to have a good impression of oneself
-to want to be accepted
-to allow others not to have a bad impression of oneself (this reason is mutually exclusive with the first one)
-
I think it feels nice when, despite the bad impressions that i give, others still accepts me :o ... pray that I can accept myself most of the time too.. *hugs to self* ...

Anyway, I received the letter from MOE asking me to accept contract teaching for 1 to 1.5 years at a primary school while they consider me for the next intake at NIE. It sucks having to receive the same pay for around 3 years before i graduate from NIE and receive a better pay. The good thing is that I only have to teach PE :o ... Pray that another good thing will be that I will be asked to teach at Sembawang Primary School which is just practically at my doorstep.. :p

"It's time to go out for a walk.."

little things = big things

The next two months of my life, shall be the busiest period... i think.. :/

Apart from working part time as an admin person in an office during weekdays during office hours, i'll be giving 5 tuition sessions too.. 4 of which is on weekday nights. One is on a weekend.

"Work work.."

I realized that one should not get too cynical at the little things that one can do to spice up his/her relationship. If you're open to it, it allows you to a bit more appreciative, and it will also add... sparkles to a relationship :o

so what i think is...
if you want to be with that person = you will want to be in a r/s with him/her = you will automatically (not forced) do little sweet things for him/her = *boomz* sparkles!!

What titus shared with me recently.. and what i remembered la... :p

• most people think/make decisions with reference to the present.. Even when they are thinking about the future. (e.g. I will be happy when i get into a relationship, I will be happy when I graduate and get a job, etc.) So you may not be happy if you get what you think you want. So when you think/make decisions about the future, you can try to think of every possible detail that will happen along with what you want, so as to get a bigger picture.
  
• Either you inject variety into a something that you do everyday, or you always do the same thing only after a period of time
  

lemonade

Having returned to army life (sort- of) for the past two days, i remembered a bit of my early life before i ord-ed. I didn't dare to voice out my views... was afraid that my views were stupid and lame. It was only in the later part of my life when I was more confident of who I was, and had a more defined role for myself.
In the past, I was a sniper so I didn't have to be responsible for any men except that we had a PC to answer to. In my reservist life, I was pushed into unchartered territories because the army wants me to lead men :s And as there are quite a number of section commanders, I have more reasons to be useless... :s ... anyway.. I guess as time passes, when my role over there is more fixed, things will be better..

I wanna drink lemonade instead of biting on lemons :o
