Still looking around

Initially I want to write this post in chinese, but realise that it is too time consuming to input the chinese characters.

Well, I think I have not find my direction yet, but it becomes clearer as days pass. I have been thinking a lot to try to understand myself. What do I really want? Even though I always say I want to live to the fullest in my life, but it is not easy in the reality.

*

The first obstacle is my laziness. I need a way to energise myself up after work. I am quite lucky that most of the time I could leave before 6pm (my working hour is till 4pm). How to spend the 5 hours (6pm-11pm) before I sleep? After work, I am always exhausted and don't even feel like moving around. Guess what's the thing I miss the most after work? It's my BED.

*

So learn how to motivate myself is important. But before that, I need to look for my source of motivation first. In the last 15 yrs, my source of motivation came from the academic achievements. So what's now? I am still looking for the answer. Hope I could share with you soon.

Bye bye Singtel

I have a new phone >> LG KF700

First time I use LG phone. The interface is quite similar to my previous Samsung but one special thing with this phone is, it has touch screen function. "Touch screen" is what is hip in the town, thanks to the trend initiated by I Phone.

I like the phone very much as I always want a slide phone. The whole design is cool, though functional wise it has nothing special. It has a 3 Megapixel camera which quite a number of editting functions are available.

Finally I am no longer using a Singtel line. Singtel, has the biggest mobile subscriber in Singapore has not live its name. The network is really terrible as it cause so much inconveniences to me. I think I will never go back to Singtel.

P/S: dear friends, my number remains the same

A boring engineer

Nothing special about my working life now.

630am Wake up

730-8am Reach company and breakfast

8-1145am Clear emails and do work

1145-1230pm Lunch at the same canteen

1230-4pm Do work and office hour officially ends at 4pm

4-5/6+pm Continue to work if I am happy

******

Now try to recall what I have been doing every nights.

1. Surfing net

2. Watching drama

3. Meeting Dear

4. Working (to clear urgent stuffs or make overseas call)

What a boring engineer. Seems like the focus of my day has been shifted to work and I don't have any meaningful activity (meeting my Dear is an exception) to look forward after work.

So I have decided to take up a position in the MAE Graduates' Club. Hope it will add sparks and values to my boring day.

Don't simply point your finger

Today is another day I am very angry with my landlord. I received his blaming sms in the early morning and I really hate that my good morning was spoilt by him.

*

I have a clear conscience that I do not overuse his utilities. I consider myself a good tenant as I close my door softly and keep all the places clean. I do not even utilise fully my chance to wash the clothes twice a week, never watch tv or bring any family or friends to his place. I respect them and yet they take it for granted and demand more. Occasionally (once a month) I forget to switch off main power of the washing machine or heater. That's really rare as I could not remember that much. Then they take this as chance to accuse that I contribute to the increase in utilities, b4 they remember how much I save.

*

Some people like to point fingers at others before they look at themselves. Not going to tolerate anymore as I really pay a lot for the room. I don't want to give my hard earned money to such people.

A poor fellow works late at night

Pei Pei is online now, using her company laptop at the place she stays (She doesn't call it home. It's just a place to stay). What's so special about today? She is still working...waiting for a conference call starting at US Time 9am or Sg local time 11pm. On normal days, 11pm is the time for her to sleep as the next day she has to wake up 6+am. Hope she won't fall asleep half way the meeting.

随笔

有多久没有更新了？工作才两个月，人就变得如此懒散，现在就已经怀念读书的好了。我终于知道，读书好，是因为觉得所有的时间都是自己的；工作呢，把一天自己超过三分之一的时间卖个公司，换取微薄的工资，到底是为了什么？说为了公司好，那简直是笑话。我需要重新找到目标，这样或许心理会平衡点。

*

发生了这么多事，好像过了很久，却原来只是两个月。我发现自己好残酷，一个抚养我二十四年，一个最疼我的人，在两个月前过世了，我居然可以在短时间内恢复了心情。阿婆走的那天，我人在吉打。接到消息的那一刻，我没有哭，只知道我要马上回家。看到遗体的那一刻，也没有哭，心里突然间好像没有了感觉。直到我摸到冰冷的她，我才惊觉，永远，她不会回来了。第一次，在懂事的情况下，我接触死亡。

*

少了一个那么爱我的人，生活却没有多大影响。我们都是出门在外的游子，在下决心到外地念书的时候，已经把自己的心变狠了。要到什么时候，才可以天天回家就见到家人？

*

我希望如果有天堂，我们会重聚。重要的，不是如何死去，而是，如何活着。

Pei Pei is on training

I received a bad news today. My Shanghai trip in September is canceled. Sien... most probably I will attend the similar training held in Singapore in November.

*

I am on training these two weeks. I never know training could be so stressful. There is a test every day and the instructor expects us to score 90 mark?! Crazy lo... The most stressful project is yet to come. Ya they may give you good food everyday, but they also squeze out a lot from you... I think I will gain weight. I just could not resist the nice food provided by the hotel.

Photoshooting at NTU Campus

I am always proud that I manage to study in a beautiful campus. These are the places that I left so many of my footprints on. I do have local friends who came to NTU just because they did not get a place in the other university. But if I have a chance to choose again, NTU, will still be my first choice. I cherish all the time I have spent within the university. Indeed it was my second home. I believe most foreign students who stay in the campus will have the same feeling as me.

The university, was founded in 1955

Leaving footprints is not enough--why not your "bodyprints" as well?

Surrounded by the green green grass and trees

I looked upon the sky and realised that it has no limit


I want to give you a hug

Special thanks to the Photographer

My Convocation 2008

My convocation was held on 24th July at Nanyang Auditorium. I could only remember I was too busy on that day, rushing here and there to take photos and the time was not enough even though I was there from morning to the afternoon.

The world awaits...

My Family and friend

The important person I meet in the university

"We are graduated!"

The MSA (Malaysian Student Association) Family

This graduation, will always be a memorable one, as I got the chance to represent the graduation cohort to sing the graduation song - "Friends Forever" >> As our lives change, come whatever, we will still be friends forever...

...My life has just begun...

Graduation Dinner at Swissotel Merchant Court
