Went to the career fair yesterday with a whole bunch of professional wannabe Malaysians. You look around the room, the accent, the smell and you can't help but think, "Yup. There's a whole load of Malaysians". But I can't help but notice.....where's all the free food? At such a fair, it's hard to not look for food. But one thing also observed was the diverse ways resumes were written. That sort of got me going. I reread my current one and the layout looked so kiddish. Oh well. I rearranged the layout so it looks more professional, although the contents remain the same. And I refered to so many different templates, I wrote one for each layout I liked. So now, I ended up with 3 resumes layouts. Writing a resume is harder than I thought too. I'm only rearranging it. And I spent the whole night at it. So much for being productive.
Went to Chor Ing's house briefly to celebrate her birthday. She got dunked into her own bathtub (with water). I didn't stay long coz a "good friend" was there. And since no one was talking to me, I might as well leave. They probably won't know I left anyway. Just let the group of Singgies hang out among themselves.
It's been 3 weeks. Been very happy and very contented. Thank you for everything.

It's been a wonderful week, if you take away the uni and the work that comes with it. Things have been piling up and I better attend to them soon. But other than that, the company and the time spent makes everything seem worthwhile. The pile of work doesn't go away, but it keeps me motivated to make sure it doesn't form a leaning tower of pisa.
Haven't been doing much this week, but I better get into the mode to. Got a DV and CT assignment due on Wednesday and I haven't started on any of them. So that means burning the oil today and probably for the next 3 days. Enough said, I better get going. Oh and btw, GBWC has this new interface but no new stuff. Plus the 2 new bots kinda suck. But that's coz I don't know how to use them yet. It actually looks pretty cool though. Ok ok....back to work.

Time flies really fast indeed. Lots of things have happened. And I can't believe Wigan can mount that much pressure on Chelsea. I mean, for a team that can score 4 goals against teams like Blackburn to only manage one against Wigan is just disgraceful. For a while, I thought it would be a trashing for Wigan. Speaking of Blackburn, West Ham scored 3 against them. Shux, I thought I could trust Friedal.
It is true, what many of you have heard. MACHINES!!!! Well I guess people have seen and heard stuff. Why don't they just keep it to themselves instead of asking me about it. What do they expect me to tell them? Leave me alone.

As I remember, I don't think I did much yesterday. But by night, my eyes felt so so dry. Not physically tired, but definitely, I have some difficulty keeping my eyes open. I don't know if it's got anything to do with Kevin getting us to stand in the wind for 3 whole hours. And BTW, the wind yesterday (and today) is super cold!! I had to walk to Mike's place in the rain. Only got a brief chance to stay in the warmth before J called. But it's good, coz him and his friends were all watching the S'pore's national day parade, and everytime I try to make a racist joke, all of them would ask if I wanted a beating. It isn't exactly racist (I have to say this after I looked at my wristband). I dunno what's the big deal about a country being independent. So what if it's not? HAHAHA....
So then again, it's good to leave the house, coz it's got this strange smell. By the time I got to the city from North Melb, I was almost frozen. I tried to make a difference for something that means something to my friend. But sometimes, when the chill and the fatigue as gotten into your bones, you just can't help but feel hopeless coz you can't do anything to make that difference. It hurts me to see people upset, coz people are all not in the mood for what is supposed to be a happy occasion. Lots of stress and tension everywhere.
I've witnessed 3 birthdays in the space of 3 days. It's nice to see some people getting excited, and people smiling just to know that there are people out there who cares and loves them, and just the whole party mood. And with all this happening around you, I can't help but to be reminded, albeit annoyingly, about 3 months ago.............:( *sigh*
But anyway, Happy Birthday Joanne, Ria and Jane!

Is it just me or it's just the way it is? That it always feels like you've wasted your weekend doing nothing. Not like I feel it's wasted especially if you've been spending it with certain people, but....it just feels like you haven't been working or studying enough. Well, I haven't been working or studying AT ALL!
But I can honestly say that for the past month or past 2 months, I have been a happier person. They say (actually, I just stole it from someone's nick) that "Shared joy is double joy and shared sorrow is half sorrow". How true sometimes. My joy has been magnified, my sorrows have been nulified. Hey, that rhymes!!! Thank you for always being there. As someone once said, "Sharing is caring" :)
It's Monday again, which means, I have to get into study mode. That crap Viet girl insisted that she doesn't want to do the site model, coz if she does it, it's only a 2 person job. So now, Mike and his Singies and I have to do the site model instead. At least this is a 4 person group, so the work load isn't that bad. Got to meet Ditch (I know. Doesn't that make you wonder?) later to discuss about CT. So my Monday today is packed. But on the bright side, I won't be bored.
Had a rare chance of chatting with Ben that day. Things have changed, but our brotherhood (if there ever is one) will not. That's what we think at the moment. He's still reeling from what CW has done to him. Was supposed to call him last night, but he was out. So probably will call him tonight just to catch up with things. A lost brother who's close to heart.

A lot can happen in one month. But today is a day to remember. A mixed feeling of happiness and a little bit of fear, but I believe with God's help, I will be able to pull through. Thank you for giving me the chance and I will try not to disappoint. May God be there in this new journey.

Edgar Davids said he wants Spurs to win "in style". And someone just ended my day "in style" too. What appeared like a seemingly good day turned out crap. There was no problem in the first place. Some people just have to create it. Seriously, all the things that person say about ministry and team building and stuff are just political means of trying to establish his clout over everyone else. CSI? pfftt...ya, watever. It's God's ministry man, not yours. Don't run it like you own it. And why am I not surprised that the new batch coming in are all girls. Maybe it's because they're easier to control. Haha...I have feelings too, and if anyone should know better, you should know I have my male ego to. So dun play play with me. The English call this divide and conquer. If what you're trying to do is to segregate the team so that you can rule over them, well, think again. At least I think 2 people are united against you at the moment. Be a man. Do the right thing.
But as someone said, maybe in small and funny ways, it's a good thing. It makes others closer and more bonded in this situation. But then again, stop annoying my friend and ruining the person's day. If you can never accept that you ARE the problem, it will never go away. You have to tackle the problem from the source. You are the source. So unless you try to do something about yourself, nothing will get solved.
10 drawings. The table is so low, my back hurts, my neck hurts. My thumb hurts for griping the precision pen for so long. Studio's gonna start soon. On the bright side, it's Friday tomorrow :)

Some toothpaste ad might have a cheesy line that goes "your smile is worth a million dollars". Or was it even a toothpaste ad? But I think seeing the smile on the face of the people you love are simply priceless. I can't really justify what I did. Just wanted to show how much that person meant to me. It made me warm all over, and to be honest, I always thought feeling this way makes me feel weak. But yesterday, it felt kinda good. I can't help but laugh and smile myself when I saw what I did. Then, as Russell puts it, "whatever makes you happy".
Felt really fresh today. Hopefully it's a sign of good things to come. Well, I still have a few tasks I have to attend to. How I wish Friday is here. I'm dreading this week.......

Thing are all sorted out now. No more confusion about which tutorial to go to. Which kinda is an issue though considering I was still lost 1 hour before the lecture. And I don't get why Clare said 13 students in one class was "pushing it" when there're 9 in other classes. She's just being lazy.
Sunday was kinda good. Stoning during the day and steamboat at night. How cool is that? But it was nice, being able to spend time with church friends, even though 2 of them were wearing MU jerseys. You can say all you want about my team, but I'm not saying anything about yours! Hahaha... As the pic below suggests, it's just a friendly rivalry :) I was a little edgy not being able to play soccer in the afternoon though. My legs feel weak, I got a sting in my left knee. I could have pushed it, but I chose not to. Albert's been a good boy on Sunday. But it still feels weak after so many days :( This fatigue I keep feeling every morning when I wake up......it's unbearable. And I don't get it why my jersey always turn out pinkish in photos....
