Lost in Transition

Transition from a full time student to a full time working adult ain't going well for me so far. I have been unable to find a suitable job for myself. People always ask me..what kind of job are you looking for? What industry are you looking at? To be honest i do not really have a clue... but i know what i dun like. I hate working in a office environment in the finance field.. I hate working without a purpose.. I hate politics in the office.. sigh.. seems like i am quite picky.. lols.

Had an interview for a dream ( or should i say very very suitable) job last week. Its for the education programme officer post at HCI. I screwed up.. first of all, the weather was really unkind to me. It rained very heavily that morning and the jams didn't help. To top it all, i took a wrong bus and had to u-turn which made me late for my interview. Feedback was that i wasn't confident enough.. sigh. It was the right job for me. Stable pay, good vibes and environment, educating and the chance to influence/share my knowledge to students strongly appealed to me. But its not meant to be.. god please give me a sign..!

Went to watch the youth olympics soccer finals plus 3rd/4th placing today with holy and ken. It was quite a spectacle. Plenty of goals, playacting and fouls in both games. Singapore played really well and i was quite impressed with the level of skill they have. They defeated the Montenegro team four goals to one even tho almost all of them are at least a head shorter than them. It was like watching mens vs boys and the boys won. Great futures ahead for them! Bolivia were deserving gold medalists. They are in a league of their own - a different class above the rest. Some pictures from the game..

恋爱通告

Came to know of this movie while having lunch at cine one day. Didn't thought much of it till i saw the reviews in the papers comparing it to Jay Chou's 不能说的秘密. Lee Hom was the first new gen pop star that i really liked, so i figured i should go watch his movie. Its quite a bad movie actually, lame, cliche and uber cheesy. But some parts are pretty funny and i kinda enjoyed them. So overall it's still watchable, lee hom look great inside and yifei, angelic as usual. I like how they talk about lying on a green grass patch and looking at the stars, i have always loved that simple feeling.

敌人

我敌不过你的眼泪

你敌不过我的赞美

我敌不过你的妩媚

你也敌不过我偶然的慈悲

我敌不过你的放任

你敌不过我的深沉

我敌不过你的沐温

你也敌不过我飘忽的灵魂

我们是真心相爱的恋人

也是互相伤害的敌人

只是彼此不想承认

对口口声声说爱的人

会这样残忍

In love with Serene

Beginning to get the hang of serene and what i am learning finally. My interest level have shot up back again! haha. Need moreee trainingg....

Paintball + Go Karting

When mingqian brought up about this outing three weeks ago i didn't think it would materalise. But all thanks to mingqian's persistence and efforts we managed to make it happen. We booked a mini bus to follow us for the entire day. I really loved the ease of having a personal bus catered to us as it was really flexible - we can go anywhere we like and at anytime. It feels like a mini holiday for me and the bus is like my tour bus. All of us paid $90 each for the entire trip which includes $28 for transport, $15 for go kart, $19 for paintball and the rest for snacks and food. First stop was lunch at this famous bak kut teh stall. The food was quite nice and very filling. We then proceeded to purchase snacks and drinks for the later part of the day.

Second stop was go karting! The speed of the go karts here is like three times faster than the ones at escape theme park. One step on the accelerator and you will feel the swoosh and jerk forward. It was really exciting and fun but dangerous. i skidded at my first turn and many others actually crashed into the barriers. At the end of it you will feel your hands aching even tho it was only ten minutes because you will use alot of strength to hold on tight to the wheel especially during cornering.

Third stop was paintball! All of us except darren and daniel have not tried paintball before so it was quite an experience for us. At first we were really afraid of getting hit because we saw the multiple wounds on the players playing before us. Gradually we just began to heck care and ya..i got headshot twice. ouch. The price is really super cheap. $19 for 250 pellets whereas in singapore it costs $89.90 for the same amount of pellets. Rayth was the bravest one always trying to flank his opponents. He ended up with a injured knee due to a slip haha suay...

Fourth stop was sumptuous seafood dinner at a seafood restaurant! The seafood is damn cheap but we chose the wrong place...it ain't very fresh and tasty. After filling our stomachs we headed for our last stop at Huang Hou night market for some shopping and digesting our dinner. All in all it was a really fun day, some of the cs members couldn't make it, thus i am hoping one day we can all come out together and enjoy a holiday together. I hope.. Some pictures of the day~

Sad Day

People come and go..in your life. Best friends may not stay forever. I used to cherish friendships alot (and i still do just not as much), always willing to go the extra mile for my friends. Always the organiser of the group, always trying to keep the group together. But over the years i realised, i have too much friends..i can't afford to devote my time to each group.. and most importantly..and most disappointingly i am always taken for granted.. I don't mind bearing the brunt of the jokes on me but not all the time. Plus the fact that i am lazy by nature to contact people...i kind of lost some potential good friends along the way.. Thus i am thankful for having really good friends like Shuying, Levin and Anthony whom i do not need to try to keep and still be my good friend.

Today is a sad day because my best friend in combat and my fav movie kaki shuying has left for Japan to teach for a year. I really admire her courage to leave everything behind to go pursue what she wants in a foreign country. Thus, when she told me about it i was sad yet happy for her at the same time. She is my very good friend because we have a common goal in life. To live life like there's no tomorrow. To live, laugh and to love. I really wanted to send her off at the airport. But i felt awkward because i presume alot of people will be sending her and i don't really know her friends. I really hope everything goes well for her over there. I hope if she meets any problems there she would find me so that i can try to help her. sigh..there goes my movie kaki....now i gotta find another movie fanatic to watch movies and concerts together...

Shuu..be happy! :)
