2nd Week of Internship

Aloha one and all!

I have yet again broke my promise of updating this holy diary of mine. Here I am, doing it via the wonders of the iPhone.

It has been the second week of internship. It has been an eye opener. The speed of how the public sector worked efficiency and speed is te key to success. No need for qualifications. Just your adaptability.

The process of learning is steep an tough. Nothing is easy in this worlds even controlling a Ferrari with a mistress inside or maybe taking taxi as a career. I shall talk about that some other time.

It has been a good training so far. Yhr company I am in forces me to learn everything and anything that is on the table. All has been well, but it can be demoralising of you do not meet the KPI.

Other than work, life is just about movies and sleep. Damn this is really bad. I aimed to complete a book at the end of every week, but obviously, no motivation to do it. Argh.

My 2.4 is in a disastrous timing. What's worse, I can only do it once a week. Over the weekends. Weekdays is totally a no no for me. Oh well.

Thoughts

Loads of things running in my mind. Will blog once the final paper ends this friday!

Life is about mid terms, assignments, essays and how liverpool fail to take their chances to kill off their opponents.

Crap.

Anw, I finally passed the proficiency test. Wohoo!

Seriously love the keypad of the macbook pro. feels so comfortable. hahas. random. exams later .

LET's GO!

Promises. We made them. And today, I received another answer. It hurts. All this while, has it been worth the time and sacrifice?

When will i even have time to achieve what I have set out to complete. Haiz.

Track Your Happiness Level

Just a random thought while I was taking a dump in the toilet. I would like to create an app that helps tracks the happiness level in a couple's relationship. It will at least  provide a direction for both parties to know where the relationship is heading. Plus, I am sure this app will give much credibility to the old saying that "Relationships are always the roller coaster ride of your lifetime".

=D. Interested developers, do call me!

Complaints after midnight

Oh my. I got to tear myself away from Youtube. Took up half of my day. Sometimes, i seriously don't know what is wrong with me.

Where is my self-discipline!

Haiz...

Ok now, what kind of online community should I choose?

Jeremy Lin

What can I say? He is simply sensational. Maybe that is an understatement. He is the one to be exact.

Loads of exciting news has been buzzing around Singapore for the past few days. Scandal, promiscuity, lack of accountability. For me, it is just disappointment. Everything seems so shady behind the scenes, and even when the party has decided to expel him, I don't think Singaporeans are full accounted for the entire saga that has happened. One thing for sure, the whole scandal has dealt a huge blow to the opposition cause.

Really want a change this sem. I want to start believing in myself again. The first quiz gave me short jab of confidence that I needed.

Alright, I am off to complete my NM assignment. This assignment has to be completed in a jiffy.

Jeremy Lin... You have taken too much of my time... But i will still be supporting you! You are more than  an inspiration. You have become the role models and idol for all Asians out there.

God damn it. I need to get my act together.

Screwed up Saturdays

This is one of the worst Saturdays ever in my life. Period.

Liverpool lost, not without creating so much ruckus. Thye have got to get their act together. None, not a single one of them is performing up to the required standard that this football club deserve. Really saddening to see them lacking the drive and creativity.

Oh well, on top of that, things got even messier. I don't know how much damage has been done or whether this damage can be controlled. All I hope for is that the common agreement would be preserved. This is all I want for now.

Sometimes, I ask myself if I am demanding too much, or is it the case whereby I am not receiving what I think I should be getting for all the effort I have put in? A big puzzle that I wonder if it can ever be solved.
Oh well, I can only hope for the better and my rashness must be curbed before I single handled undo all the good that has been done.

Oh well, newspaper article for the NUSPA forum. I need inspiration. Just realized it is a 800-900 words article. Zomg. Got to complete it before I sleep. Target.

Random

As the title goes, this is one random post.

Just came back from my grandma's birthday celebration at Todai restaurant. The restaurant is located at a very secluded section of MBS. It took us quite a while to reach the restaurant from the MRT exit. Anyway, Bayfront MRT station resembles a scene from the walking dead, very quiet and eerie. It seems as if I was the only guy who used the toilet in weeks.

Todai is a Korean restaurant which specializes in buffet. They have a wide variety of cuisines to choose from. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Italian, and many more, you name it, you will have it. However, it is nothing fantastic in my opinion. Nevertheless, if you are someone who is fickle minded and love to be spoilt for choices, Todai can be one of your weekend spots to hang out.

The highlight came when I got to see MBS casino for the first time since its opening. It was an eye opener. Ok, to clarify things first, I did not pay a hundred bucks to get myself in. There is a lift which can bring you to the second floor gallery where you can overlook the entire casino. We stayed there for about 15-20 minutes and during that time, we witnessed this guy losing 5 times in a row. *Ouch*

Yesterday was a very dramatic day and an emotional one. Hopefully, things will turn out fine. I really do not like to go through repeated cycles of emotional upheavals. It distracts me from my planned activities and the pain of the past coming back to haunt me time and time again is too much for me to bear.

Week 5 is here. And the first assignment is up tomorrow, time to start cracking.

So much stuff on my mind. But then again, procrastination is creeping back into me. I have got to purge this evil out of me.

Bad Night

A bad night to end the day off yesterday. I guess it was my foul mood which caused the whole incident. Nevertheless, it felt god that I got it off my chest. Earlier rather than later, for it may get worse in the future. 

Going to watch two great plays today - Wicked and Breaking Dawn. One is a movie and the other is some Broadway musical. Kind of looking forward to it. It is a first time watching a musical, hence the excitement. Most importantly, it is the company. Hopefully, all will turn well later on.

Liverpool drew Oldham for FA Cup. They better win this match comfortably, if not they will be doomed man. Sometimes, it feels really tough to be a Liverpool Supporter. It feels like you are standing by a criminal who is waiting for the verdict to be passed on. But if one were to be optimistic, I foresee a very bright future ahead for Liverpool, provided these young starlets can match up or go one notch further than their Manchester City counterparts. Money is the root of evil. In the world of football.

TeeHee.

Stomach Flu Again!

Had close to 8 hours of sleep last night. Satisfying sleep? You bet. It was even better to witness the victory Chelsea had over Manchester City. One word to describe it. Sweet.

I personally detest a one horse or two horse title race. To me, it just spoils the whole meaning of competition. What is the point when you only have two teams which have the quality to challenge for the league title? Take a look at the Spanish League. In the past, they have teams like Valencia or Athletico Madrid to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona. Right now, the whole league seems to be centered around Real and Barca. It really dilutes the whole attraction of the league.

Enough of football. Today was a day like any other. After the Chelsea-Manc match, it is time for the Straits Times and my breakfast. Soon after, I switch on MioTV to watch the latest episodes of the Channel 8 dramas, Code of Honour and A Song to Remember. There are many people who like to criticise local productions and I have no idea why. The quality of local productions can never meet the standards that their overseas counterpart but I do see an improvement over the years. For example, M complained that a particular scene in the Code of Honour was too exaggerated. In that scene, Elvin Ng stayed in the air for approximately 10 seconds and within that time, he managed to execute some Kung Fu moves that resembled that of Ong Bak. People starts to say that this is a pack of bullshit and that Singapore productions are nonsensical.  If that is the case, why do these critics bother to watch Ong Bak or Hong Kong Kung Fu movies? What make these overseas productions better than the local ones? Just because such fighting scenes originated from them? 

There has always been this saying that, "If locals don't even want to help the local people, how then can the locals survive?". This phrase has been deeply etched in my mind, and I strongly feel that this is the reason why people fail to return to their roots and always look up to foreigners. Really detest such attitude, but what can I do? An individual's fight is impossible to repel the forces of globalization.

I can only hope for the change. Why? I don't like the way you are commenting on stuff. It feels very constrictive. Hopefully, you get what I truly mean and not misconstrue it...
