What a day...

Been running ard for the whole of today and I'm glad to be at home now...

Went for a check-up at International plaza today. Was really zonked since I slept at about 4 the night before. I guess age is catchin up.

Then went on to meet Leny, my secondary classmate, whom I would always address her as "大姐". Well, thanx to her cajole, I decided to go for my secondary classmates gathering in the afternoon at Suntec. It was a great time to catch up with them and I can't help feeling remorseful for MIA-ing from the grp since uni days... I will make a conscious effort to spend time with ALL my friends.

Anyway, great to hear that my friend is making great progress in his love life. Ha! I wish him him the very best of luck!

Reached home at abt 315pm before exhaustion overwhelmed me as I took a quick nap. Lucky to be able to make it in time for the birthday dinner at Cathay for I forgot to do the alarms. Thanx to those who made an extra effort to get the gifts and making the dinner possible.

Didn't really had much of an appetite for food and I was pretty quiet over dinner. Anyway, I just realised that we have been celebrating one another's birthdays so ritually that we're wearing the gifts that we received fr the grp (Veron's watch, Wei Jie's watch, My watch, Zi Wei's wallet etc...)

Ha!

Well, time flies...

I think all I wanna do now is to sleep.

Let me introduce myself...

Date of Birth : Since water existed on Earth Age : I've forgotten! Sex : I refer to myself as male but really I don't know Address : All over the world Occupation : To appear in TV commercials for Daikin Vital Stats : About 15cm tall My head is a bit big and heavy so I tend to hunch. Because of the shape of my head, some people say I look like an alien. Personality : Carefree, I go at my own pace.

Yup! I've been working in Daikin for almost a month and it is coming to an end.

Great to have the company of many of my friendly colleagues. Hope I'll be in contact with them still in near future.

I guess the quest continues...

Creativity goes the extra mile...

Wonder who is Pichun Kon?!

Stay tuned...

The most difficult words to say are...

"Sorry" and "Goodbye."

I'm...

GRATEFUL of the many things ard me...

Life is indeed a learning process...

Life is indeed, a learning process. Overated as it might be? I'm beginning to feel the essence of the sentence...

Attended my boss' church wedding today. It is infact my second church wedding but as compared to the one I attended in Secondary school, today's is definitely more memorable.

I've learnt there are certain things you'll only learn when you are at the point.

I've come to realise that there are certain things which I thought are not important, are otherwise.

I'm learning everyday...

Tough day!

Had the toughest interview today...

I was really pretty flustered...

8:00pm...

I pray for the safety of Takeshi's kids...

Boon or Bane...

Being perpetually behind my computer has given me a chance to understand people who I have been missing out for a while...

I have rekindled my friendship with one of my old pal back from Swiss Cottage. Most of all, it has bridged the gap between my cousin and I. We were reminiscing over the days we used to spent at my Granny's. It was heart-warming to know that I'm not the only one holding on to the good old days.

"It used to be every week, but it's every once a yr now." ... fr my cousin...

Ha! We even agreed to arrange a MJ session one of these weekends! I'm looking fwd to it!!!

Live I've mentioned, working has definitely made me drift away from some of my regular folks. And, I guess this is called what growing up is all about.

Anyway, I think I am beginning to interact more often with my parents. Back in those days, I wouldn't be able to have a decent conversation as I'm always preoccupied with my work or so I pretend to be. Ha! But now, I would stay a little longer in the kitchen to chat with my parents, run more often to my bro's room when I heard some juicy gossips which my Mum is sharing with my brother or be it to just stand by the door to my parents' room to just say, "Hi!"

I've grown to appreciate my parents more. And we've made some plans for the end of June. I'm looking forward to them!

Cheers!

Reflections...

It's 9:01pm and listening to Symphony 92.4... Hym...

Been working for a while, well, technically it's only been close to 2 weeks. I must say my love for my colleagues and working environment supersedes my zest for my job itself. The colleagues are nice and most of all, around my age so there isn't much of a generation gap with them. I'm thankful for that...

Lunch time has always been an interesting and highly anticipated event, or should I say, pretty much the only thing that I look forward to everyday. We'll always head to different places for lunch and this has enriched me in many ways; satisfying my bottomless pit, getting to know the North-East area better...

Anyway, I've come to realise a whole new dimension to the word, empowerment.

Was walking to the washroom a few days ago when I saw the door to the handicap toilet being left ajar. As I approached the washroom, I took a glance into the toilet. I was greeted by the cleaner, who empties the wastepaper baskets in my office, sitting on the floor and rolling the toilet rolls. I gave her a smile as I always do but I can't help helping disheartened by my sight...

By the way, my colleague whom I am quite closely acquainted with, is doing her part-time degree at some private institution. We had a chat today on the bank loan and the interest rates etc... It's rather daunting to think of the compounded interests she is held liable to, not to mention the fact that she is financing the family car... I must say I admire her determination and all I said was, "Education is a good investment."

I've come to realise just what a proper education does. Not only does it enriches the mind, ignites the flame of curiosity but bestow upon an individual the ability to change his/her life or the authority to make informed decisions and in that, empowerment.

Simply put, education = empowerment = choices...

To those that are still studying, do feel privileged for you are indeed the fortunate ones that are given the luxury to do so. =)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was pondering over a certain comment which I received a couple of times on different occasions. I was told that I am someone who likes to ask others for opinions and suggestions and yet receptive towards them for at the back of my mind, I have already formulated the answers/decisions. Hym... I think the sentence is partially right...

I must agree with the comment especially when it comes to making decisions of grave importance but nevertheless, I would still like to hear the perspectives of others to gain better insights. As for minor decisions, I am definitely more than willing to go with the proposed suggestions, or so I purport...

Whatever the case is, there's a certain enigma that confident individuals exude especially from those who know clearly what he/she wants. And, that's perhaps the greatest magnet to me...

*Yawn* Just some random thoughts of mine, derived from boredom.

I hope to go on a short trip a the end of this month. Maybe Bali!?

Thanx to...

LORRAINE

AND

LENY

FOR THEIR HELP...

*wink*

Rather eventful day...

Met a couple of people after my blunder in the morning...

First, met my primary classmate, Rose. Been a while since we last met! I couldn't even remember when was the last. But, it was definitely a pleasant surprise and of cause, we met at the most "interesting" place of all. Ha!

The second person whom I met was, well, someone whom I was briefly acquainted with. I shan't elaborate further...

And the third person was Junyu, my JC bandmate. Haven't seen him for ages too. All that I gathered about him was that he was working as an air steward for SIA and drives a mini cooper! How cool is that! Didn't manage to chat much for he was having lunch with his friend at Westmall's food court. Opportunity awaits...

Oh! I realised last-min meet-ups work well for me. Glad to have the brief companion of Ms Ow after her rather traumatic driving lesson prior to our impromptu lunch appt. Ha! Been a while since we shared the same dining table. Oh I forgot to comment, she looks a little tanned too!

Went on to collect my prize; pair of GV tkts. Took a while of searching for the place was located in a secluded, forsaken corner along River Valley Rd. Thanx to Ms Ow once again for her directions. CHeers!

Thereafter, met up with Veron at Bugis. Shopped around at the mall before heading to J.Co for a dose of caffeine. I've decided to cut down on coffee for it is detrimental to my health, especially my agonizing gastric. It's always great to just sit in one quiet corner and watch the World goes past. No other better accompaniment than a novel at hand too!

The cafe serves complimentary donut along with any drinks ordered. Pretty cool!

Veron's brilliant idea! Ha!

Dinner was at Sumi where Veron and I had the well-received, 1-for-1 Ramen. Great taste and gentle on our wallets = excellent dining option! So folks, what are you waiting for?

In summary, great day!

Brand new month, brand new start.

I can only hope... 

Guess I shd sleep now...
