I'm suppose to study but have been using my time to change a new skin.
Want to have a skin that is bright that can brighten up my spirit rather than the previous black skin with the stickman that looks like a stick. So here I have, a beachy skin! Don't know why, i'm just excited about the beach! Of course not because of the bikini babes. It may be one of the reasons =x but also because of the waves, the warmth, the nature, the carefreeness and the salty refreshing smell of the air!
It has been long since I went back to my "paradise".
When can I go there again?
Don't get me a present, just grant me my birthday wish!! =D


So happy that I learn something new today. Learned how to make youtube video auto play! HTML is great =D

OK. I shall stop crapping and go take a nice warm bath and do my homework after that. And TGIF(Thank God Its Friday) tomorrow!! Long weekend due to Monday being an off day as Labour Day falls on Saturday!!

Cheers~

People often say that being a clerk is the best job, but I beg to differ. Yes, with the 8am-530pm working hours, sitting in the office enjoying the air-con, talking cock in the office and stirring kopi do sound interesting. However, after going through for just 4months, what I can say is that it is not as easy as what you think.




Being a clerk is a mental draining job. Office politics are like a great movie playing daily. Some people treat you as a "second class citizen" if you have nothing on the front of your chest. What worse is that you have a leader that doesn't care about your welfare(even entitlement has to be controlled now), always nag around you like a buzzing bee and sounds so demanding and rude. Everyday, you have to be mentally prepared of what you are going to be bombard once you step into the office. Depends on your luck, if the person is on good mood, you are lucky. If she is on the bad side, be prepared for hell. If you are faced in this kind of situation, what can you do about it? As a personnel who doesn't have any authority other than human rights, I guess you only have one rule to follow- suck thump.


I guess it all boils down to leader. If you have a good leader which care about your welfare and well being, life would be so much better in your environment. Seriously, there is really a shortage of good leader in clerk job. If there is, there won't be so much people complaining about them in the internal forums, maybe external forums if I can find them later on. There also won't be so many clerk around you that is complaining. Tell me, where are all the motherly people out there!?!


Some positive things that I can take out from this is that it can build up your mental stress and being able to adapt to different kind of situation easily. I believe that the working environment our that is far more worst. So take this current situation as a training ground. Well it is just endurance for a period of time and that's it, right?


An interesting story about SAF.
In the year 2007, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's Son 2LT Li Hongyi was charged by military law for complaining without adhering to the chain of command when making his complaint. If you are interested, do follow the link and read it. They also have the actual complain email that he sends.

I woke up in the morning today with a funny dream. The dream was actually a continuous from a previous dream which I once forgot. So here is the story of my dream.


First dream: I dreamt that HuiSan, WeiCheng and Amber were in a Malaysia plane, flying from Malaysia back to Singapore, meeting us for a holiday. Than while the plane was flying, there was some trouble with it and it crashes into the sea and sad to say, all three of them were... ...


Second dream: We(most of the AC) were sitting at a coffeeshop round table and I was missing the three of them. So I was talking inside my heart saying: "If the presence of the three of you is here, please move the chair in front me." And to my surprise, the chair really slide about 5cm and I am the only one who saw it. And I was so elated that I told everyone around me that their presence is with us. So to prove to them that what i'm talking is true, I talk loudly to the air, "If the presence of you guys are here, please move the chair!" This time round, the chair slide at a fast speed towards me and it proves about their presence.


After that, I am able to see the three of them sitting at another table with Zelda, and she was talking with them. I quickly went over to the table and sat down so that other people(strangers walking past who cannot see them) will think that Zelda is talking to me instead of to the air or herself. But once I sat down, I can't see the three of them anymore, and I talk to them anyway and pretended that i'm talking to Zelda. After that, I woke up from my dream.


And to prevent myself from forgetting this rather weird dream, I quickly wrote it down on a piece of paper and went back to sleep. That is why the story of my dream is still so vivid in my mind.



As today our unit is celebrating its 7th Anniversary, we are not required to go to work but instead, we have an outing at Sengkang open field for some kite flying sesson and a chalet cum BBQ session in the evening. Thus I woke up at 12pm, got myself prepared, ate Mcdonalds for my branch(breakfast + lunch) and proceed to Sengkang. We are required to decorate our kite and try to make it fly as high as possible. Weather was rather hot today but I did enjoy myself. My team even won for the most creative kite and I won myself a magnetic game set!


After the kite flying session, we proceed on to the chalet at Costa Sand Pasir Ris. It was a BBQ session but didn't really got a chance to eat the food. Was playing more with the soccerball and running around like mad dog. But it was a good sweaty fun workout.

Taking photo with three of the ORD personnel! My day will come in 1 year 5 months 3weeks and 4days!! Yes it will definitely come!!


After the BBQ session, I went to White Sand Mall to have dinner with some of my unit mates. After finish eating my Sliced Fish Rice, I recieved Dorothy message that Desmond is flying off to Thailand for training and ask me whether I want to join them to send him off. That was a real surprise as I didn't know that they will be flying off in about 2hrs time. I quickly rush home, took a quick bath and meet up with them. QiJun and CheeHiang were also flying off to Thailand as they are from the same company as Desmond.


Hey buddies, just endure for 3weeks and all shit will be over!! ENDURE!!

Every decision that I do is like a steping stone on an ocean.

Placing it one by one, moving forward and hopefully, one day, I will see the lush greenary of land up ahead. And I know that if I continue to work hard, motivate myself, be determined and continue the drive that I had, one day I will finally see it.

(Just some self motivation words for myself)




I believe that motivating oneself is important.

Once, I was talking with this two successful entrepreneur, and they told me this:

"When you were young, did your parents tried so hard to persuade you to study but you thought, "why must I study?" So in the end, you didn't put enough effort in it?

Now, because you understand that gaining knowledge is important, Being well educated is about having a better future, a better life(though not 100% correct), thus you will start to put in effort in your studies."

What they are trying to say here is that no matter how hard you try to persuade someone to do something, if the person doesn't know the rationel behind it, or the person doesn't really taste the bitterness of it, they will never make an effort to motivate themselves to do it.




The two entrepreneur also told me this:

"If you want good results, you have to "psycho" yourself. You will have to control over your life rather than being controlled by it. All this came to your own mindset, your own talking to the brain. If you can talk yourself out to do the things that are right, than even the most difficult and pressurize time will be endured. For example, when you are already tired from running 4.8km and there are still 5km towards the finishing line, psycho yourself that you can go further by any means... You will be surprised by how far you can go." Self motivation will not only brings you far, but further.


Recently got a really good news! I am damn happy after hearing it but still can't say it now. My well wishes really came true!



I wanna wait, but it's an insane thought.

So weekend has been fruitful I guess.
Met up with Zel and we went to have a delicious breakfast at KFC.
Finally got to eat KFC a.m meal after craving it for so long.
Ate waffle with scramble egg set meal that is accompanied by a cup of hot kopi.
Waffle was fluffy and it opens up your appetite, not forgetting the wonderful Portuguese egg tart and Honey biscuit!


Went back to TP after so long.
Really miss the wonders that I had at that beautiful place.
This time, went to Business school to study and revise.
The quality environment really made my study progress.
No distraction from my TV or computer.
And I got to complete more than 30 question!
Went for our late lunch opposite school and I ate the ever unforgetting Ashton.
Went back to school to mug till night.
And Kian Aik met up with us.
Went to the popular food center-Bedok BLK 85.
Had Bar Chor Mee and Or Lua!


Haiyo. Tomorrow gonna go back to camp.
Why must weekend always past so fast?
Some consolation is that Tuesday i'm gonna go for dispatch, Thursday gonna go for Medical Appointment and Friday there is a half-day event.
That means that this week work won't be that routine which is great.
And I will be looking forward towards the next weekend which also means ORD is at least 0.000001 inch nearer!
Hopefully things will be smooth sailing and no news will be reported as no news equal good news!

Looks can be decieving
Even for a carefree person, it can mean sucide
Even for a cheerful personality, it can show sorrow inside



I'm working towards being carefree,
living everyday happily.
Smile like its free,
but any idea what is running inside me?



Nope. Nobody knows.
Only I know myself well enough.
Only I can control my own decision.
Only I will do silly stuff which is overpowered by depression.



But i'm glad that if i'm going to fall,
I am blessed with friends to break it.
Likewise, my Dear Friends,
you are blessed too.



This unfortunate event made me realised
not to be ignorant to the people around you.
You may think that they are surrounding you right now,
but what if an uneventful news shock you and realise that one of them is gone?
You will regret for a certain of reasons even if that person is not that close to you.



He was my secondary school classmate,
He was the funny person who chased me around the school and dislocated my elbow
He was so "guai lan"
He was the person that amazed me with the tune "suteki da ne" with the piano
He was my room mate during a trip to Genting Highland
He was one of the gamblers during CNY
If only I don't have to use the word "was"



It is a waste
It is really a waste
It brought tears to the people that love him
It brought sourness to the people that know him



The road will naturally come to an end
So why must you do it unnaturely?
If you dare to even face death,
what other challenges are you afraid to face?
So please don't be silly anymore
It's not worth it



Your departure brings back those ignorant memories that seems significant now
May the one that you left stay strong
and may you have no regrets



Dear Friends, if you are feeling down, do open up.
Don't get overpowered by your wrongful emotions at one point of your life and make a wrongful moves
because even one wrong moves can also means the end.
Hope is everywhere
so don't give up.



And I will always be around



Cheers~

You are SILLY
You are STUPID
You are DUMB
I so hope that you could hear my shout
If I could talk to you more when you walk past me in camp instead of Hi and Bye..
If you would open up your mind,
Life will still have hope
If only I could say Cherish Life to you again...
Hope that you have found the peace in your life
Rest well



Life is full of wonders,
if you make wonders
Cherish Life
