Hi.. It has been coming to 2 weeks that i work here in SP.
How is everyone so far? I am fine. Just that i am still trying to adapt to the working hours, sleeping hours and lunch hours etc etc...
During school terms, I make sure that i am here early to open the studios and lecture rooms for the students. I understand some may appear early... as the class starts at 8am and they will sure arrive early say around 730am.... To meet this timing, i am waking up early at 05:10 to 05:15 like that.. dilly dally around, brew the coffee and wash up, clear my bowels and dress up for work... so leave house at around 06:10 like that should be ok. Always manage to reach school slightly befoer 07:30am.
My work scope isn't very hectic really. These days due to the Town Planning Programme, I have been rushing here and there, up and down... until my legs got blisters and i walk with much difficulty. hahaha. I am realy not used to wearing leather shoes. They are soft really... but just that hmm...... well sometimes i nearly trip walking stairs... hahaha.
Alot of you may be very concerned about my job scope here as a TSO. Mandatory things that i am doing everyday, includes opening the studios and ADRC, and closing the studios and ADRC when the students left. Other things in my work scope is that i need to make sure that the equipments under my assets are working properly. The projectors, the tables and chairs, keyboards and mouse etc etc. Some i really dont know how to solve, cos i am not a technical trained person afterall.... I have to run around to ask for help, from other TSOs from IT personels... sometimes i really want to give up cos i dont know who i can turn to for help....
The town planning programme is over now...
I am more free now and its alot school's term break for 3 weeks . Students will be back on the 8th of Jan next year... *Phew*... yea.. its time to take a little small rest and i can clean up my place now and rearrange my workplace properly... :) I have got things to buy to help me organise my table cleanly and neatly.
..................To be continued.

Went back to school.... Friday 27-10-2006
Today i went back to school to verify some original document.. for my new job, that is. Don't know why working in stat board so ma huan eh meh? Even want to see my birth certificate.. please loh.. dont tell me i am not borned in Singapore ah? Or which hospital i am borned also very important meh. Also want my ns booklet... grrr...
Well, anyway, the above pic is taken at T3A's first storey corridor... taken towards Canteen 1 (favourite canteen)... Didn't change much, just that there are more outside seating area with big umbrella shelter.
Unfamiliar right? This shot. Seems like there are new stalls. Got a vegetarian stall... last time have or not huh? Its infront of the chicken chop stall. There is also a dessert stall, selling stuffs like ice kachang lah.. tau suan.. chendol etc etc. I think it will only sell in the afternoon onwards.. morning it is selling some breakfast type of meals... i only glance thru.. ey.. not bad leh... looks very alluring. There is another malay stall.. i really can't remember last time have or not leh.. its infront of the cai fan stall. And to recall you, the cai fan stall is facing the stall that sells coffee tea... Do you still remember how that auntie make the egg mayonaise sandwich??? ewwwwww
Our favourite lime juice... last time cost 30cents.. now 40cents already... Friends still remember how fast i drink this glass of water... hehe one sooop can see the water level decrease at an increasing speed!
The rear gate that we used to pass by when going to Dover coffee shop (lemon chicken and duck noodle with he bao dan)... Sad... this gate is closed up already.. due to 911 i think. And the other gate further up that leads to the bus stop also closed up already.. and the area infront of the gate is changed to a timber platform already.

Back from my In-camp training.
Coming to a week since the last day of my in camp training. So miss the slacking days... hehe. A 3 weeks break from work can be so useful. Don't need to think of work.. submission.. drawing.. computer....
Anyway.. i always stay in. Cos its really too far from my house already. And if i stay in, i can sleep until 7am also no problem. If at home... wha lao.. have to wake up damn early... before 530 have to wake up already. Then need to chase the 550 bus.
Every year's ICT really different feeling one. Seems like everyone is still doing fine. Glad that we are all in Fu7. Fu7 rawkz! Hope we can stay the same people throughout our ICT. Cos we are all so unite and stay together. And we've got funny people around that we all wont feel sianz.
7 more to go man.
Next blog i will post some pictures i secretly took during the last day. Everyone packing their belongings and waiting to book out.
See ya guys again in '08. Take good carez and best of luck.

Second week of my ICT
Whow time flies... Here goes my second week of my ICT. I'll say this time's ict is rather slack. Break here and there and sleeping in bunk like no other people's business...
Should be like this lah. Like the previous ict meh.. everyday is sweating like pig.. and they seem to be like dont want to waste a single minute to let us rest like that. If got spare time, not march order and emplacement, then is test this test that. This time system a bit change already. Maybe due to change of OC and SLOng went to do something else.
Yesterday just had our IPPT. Something which i am so scared of hehehe. Why? Due to lack of regular exercises lo. So scared to fail and have to go take RT. But from my other mates saying that now RT isn't that siong anymore. Dont pass then dont pass lo.
Usually we have run on alternate days. As a kind of maintain the par for the 2.4km run (killer).
Usually static station they will close one eye open one eye. You can kick doing chin up.. you can cheat on numbers when doing sit up... or maybe after the accessor has gone, you can talk to the conducting officer to help you adjust some 'numbers'. But when comes to 2.4km run.... its really the killer part already. Its really up to your mentality and endurance and will to finish the run. They can maybe start the timing later or end the timing earlier.... but thats the most they can do... 30 secs or 1 min buff thats it. You have to try your very best to finish the run and hope you can meet the timing.
Yesterday finally came as we had our IPPT. Static station is enough to stress you and tired you out totally. Sit up.. standing broad jump... chin up... shutter run... the best is that you dont do either of them twice.. meaning retaking. But sometimes really no choice. I retook standing broad jump.... first jump was only 207.. luckily second jump i made it 221... Killer will be retaking shutter run.. cos you sprint mah.. to and fro. A friend of mine took 3 times cos he drop the wood.. And so heng.. shutter run is the last static station before our 2.4km run.
I know myself so well that not even the first round i will think of giving up already. True enough.. just reaching the cookhouse my legs starts to get so heavy and my heart thumping so fast my brain telling me to stop and walk and rest.... DETERMINATION! DETERMINATION! I keep telling myself ' i can do it' ' i can do it ' .. with Berdy infront of me, i keep telling myself that i will catch up with him, chase after him... at least he i still within my eye sight throughout the whole run. The final lap i didn't really dash and sprint.. i know my limit is really there already and since Lta Tom is infront.. i think just slightly after him only i still can pass lah. haha.
Timing 11:33..

Happy happy yea yea yea!

It's Chia's birthday! - 5th Oct 06
Bertram and me are staying in camp this night. And we planned to go to his house first, so that he can get his dad's car. So before that, kind hearted Kelvin dont mind dropping us at Bukit Panjang Plaza. Chia is joining us for dinner before he goes meeting his poly friend.
So coincident, in the car, i recalled that Chia's birthday is at October.. so if so heng it should be falling within our ICT's period mah.. 3 weeks leh. So happen that i ask 'Is it today??' Haha. It is. So we decide to small celebrate for him. And we went to Swensens for dinner.
From left: Chia, Slack Kel, Berdy, Me
We have fries as appitizer. Chia drink plain water only. I have Super soda blueberry. Berdy has some chocolate drink and Slack Kel has rootbeer float.
Chicken baked rice for Slack Kel, Berdy and me.
Chia had Fish and Chips
A regular earthquake. We asked the waitress to help us stick a candle. Romantic right?

Bye bye Mase San....
Friday 29th September 2006 is my Japanese colleague's last working day for his company Sato Kogyo Pte Ltd. Let me introduce you my friend, Mr Mase Koichi, we call him Mase San.Can't believe that he resigned. He has been working for Sato Kogyo for almost 10 years. He is actually from the civil side.. but for this Circle line stage 3 lorong chuan station project, he is being assigned as the architectural coordinator for the main con. He has really worked very hard for this project and is well liked among his fellow colleagues, and even those others from LTA, sub con.. sub sub con etc etc.
This April we just went to China together. And i really believe in fate. Because of this China trip, we got to know each other better. And we have become friends after that. And he is able to joke around with me.
I think my company owe him too much. He has helped us so much in this project. And i couldn't have done so much without his help. As this project started with me as the only draftsman.. its so stressful.. not only that i have to do drafting work, i also have to do QS's stuff... material submission... cos why? Our QS is so lazy. Several times i've thought of giving up. But Mase san gave me the best morale support.
We went to china that time is to find drafting company to help us do the drawings and i will do the coordination between china and singapore. But eventually turned out that we dont want China side to do the drafting.... and they dont seem to be keen at all either... so the final decision is that i will be doing the drafting for the project.
I smsed Mase that i will be doing the drafting.. Surprisingly.. i was meant to be unhappy and disappointed with the company (Because they changed PM and PD giving the reason that they can't handle the project, just to pushed away doing the project).... sian lah.
Anyway.. I'll like to thank Mase for all his hard work for the project. Really, without him, this project can sink down to the underground already.

Last wed i went to sign my appointment letter, follow by medical check up at Dover Clinic.. then make my way down to Jurong East there a Radiology clinic for X ray. Thats not the end yet leh. I still got to make my way down again to bring all my original document for verification.. gosh what is there to varify??? If they are fake, i wont be here already right.. To work in a stat board or govt sector is so troublesome! grrrr... And next week i am going for my In camp training already... i sure will get a call from school one.. but i can't make my way down just for all those things ah... i am suspecting that they will be calling me to resign before going down.. then sign the contract and also for the verification purposes... but then i know that i can't one.. like my lecturer says.. its unfair lah.. i 3 weeks here for ict away from work.. its like saboing them... sigh... I've already tried my very best to hurry up already...

So cramp and small right??? Just imagine our drawings is A1 or A0 size one leh... where got place to put.. and so many things stacking one another.. so hard to do work...
No lah.. just dont really know what to write these days.. seems there are nothing much interesting to write about.. other than feedbacking on what happen in the office.. kinda boring to state it down here....
A drafting colleague of mine is sick for 2 days.. so today and tomorrow i will be so alone in the container. And its like inside a jail like that... other than drafting.. nothing else.. and dont bother to surf net lah.. that computer is at another table ...
Just take a look at how cramp and loads of stuff this container is...
This is my computer table.....
So cramp and small right??? Just imagine our drawings is A1 or A0 size one leh... where got place to put.. and so many things stacking one another.. so hard to do work...
But this office although small... we've got everything we need..

Sat-ur-Day Fever
I just anyhow hum tum a title lah... dont really think of a good title to put.
With regards to the interview that i have mentioned in earlier post... my buddy actually want me to find out more.. dont want me to get cheated. Find out more on what need to do, what dont need.
As my classmate is the previous one there. I managed to get hold of his phone number thru our class list lol. So with that, i got his handphone number. Basically, i have asked him regarding the job scope. That ADRC ( architectural department resource centre ) will be your baby. you will be fully incharge of maintaining that whole area. You may call yourself a facility or service personel.. your job is to facilitate that place. Especially that resource library. Once a while you have to input with the latest catalogue.. as students needs to find out some construction detailing that they may need for their drawings. This is fine with me. I've been in this industry....
Most important thing i want to say now is that just now... i gave a call to my lecturer who interviewed me... allow me to address him Mr Goh. I expressed my deepest concerns with regards to that TSO position. I am indeed very keen to know about the career prospect.. long term and short term. Will there be things to learn and know and what plans has the school got for the TSO.
Short term wise, there will be lots for that person to do for sure (which is good). And long term, he has plans for sending the TSO for safety officer course (hey.. related to my current industry huh) and is something which i once wanted to take. And of course some other course which he didn't mention.. (can't promise for time being mah).. but he say definitely he can work things out with the TSO.. if he has got things he wants.
Will be working directly under him.. so i guess its ok.. since know him so many years already during studies.
Maybe you can look forward to the mid and year end bonus too... and if you perform well.. there is performance bonus too..
Mr Goh also mentioned that there are a few that went for the interview ( of course lah.. i know can't be only me right? ) hehehe... and the one after me is a 40 plus years old lady (?).. and they are actually looking for someone who is young who tends to work hard and strive for a better future... Mr Goh actually mentioned that they maybe want me.. think maybe like that i have a vouch from them... so now depends on the second formal interview already lo
Prolly next week will receive a call from the HR informing on the second interview already... and the second interview will mostly held this month. Before i go reservist next month.
Mr Goh says just nice lah.. after i reservist come back is nov already.. then can start work there.
Gosh... what does this means.
Actually hor... i dont know how leh.. If really kena the post, quit must one month in advance notice. And if i before october tender my resignation letter.. that makes it just nice. And i still got excess 10, 11 days leaves haven't clear yet leh. So you see huh.. if i come back from reservist.. basically i dont have to go back to work already...
Office tend to like to play cheat something is that they purposely say they didn't receive your resignation letter and i dont know they have to sign before you can be 'approved' resign.
So if in that case, i will make more copies of my resignation letters and i make sure to inform they do.. cos i will emphasis my appointment letter only says i need to give one month's notice.. never say about approve or not approve and i am sure you wont see me again in Nov.
AI YO!
Second interview haven't come yet keep thinking of all these already.... lol. See how things goes first lah.
I am quite looking forward to it actually after the clarification talk with Mr Goh. At least now i make sure i am not sitting there doing nothing... such kind of job is not for me.
Wish me good luck.

Ring ring ring, goes the telephone...
After yesterday's incident... i can say that today really no mood to work... keep thinking about yesterday's interview.. how things will go and will i be called up for the second interview... etc.. i did sleep... cos the blast of the aircon makes me so sleepy... and after the phone chat with another him.
Ya loh.. today huh really in the mixed of feelings.... i have been working so hard for this project already and now its almost towards the construction stage.... I have been thinking of wanting to either quit to change job or switch career path... been last year... last year already went for 3 interviews to see market value.. hehe who knows architect vista still called up to ask if i want to go for an interview at the archi department... but then i pushed away.
I think i am going abit off track now already... you know i am now very nervous....
Just now in the evening, Mr Ng called me.. i am a bit pai sey cos my project manager and another drafting colleague around.. so i didn't really sound very big motions... i didnt even greet Mr Ng.... i didn't call his name lah.. but i say good afternoon... you know later they ask who that person is how? People like to suspect this suspect that one...
Mr Ng called to tell me about the salary that the finance department has proposed.. and see if its acceptable for me. Oh sure of course.. although it didn't fall within my range of expected salary.. but its still.. still slightly slightly a little bit more than my current salary... i think ok lah.
So Mr Ng put up my name to the HoD already and i will await their call to meet up for the second interview with the Principle, Head of departments and Directors etc etc. Scary right!!!! Oh dear... my heart is thumping up and down now... i haven't even rest from yesterday and now come already...... *deep breath*
Depends on how i perform in the interview already. Wish me good luck yea.... ok.. i will just be natural and thats it.. and answer every question steadily.... that should be ok. Right???
I will update here again... I AM SO NERVOUS!
GRIBBIT!!!!!
Ya loh.. today huh really in the mixed of feelings.... i have been working so hard for this project already and now its almost towards the construction stage.... I have been thinking of wanting to either quit to change job or switch career path... been last year... last year already went for 3 interviews to see market value.. hehe who knows architect vista still called up to ask if i want to go for an interview at the archi department... but then i pushed away.
I think i am going abit off track now already... you know i am now very nervous....

Gosh..... *gasp*
Today taken leave.. whole day... Morning went for a job interview.. at Singapore Poly.. my old school... and you know what, the place that holds the interview is at workshop 5... just one building away from workshop 5a.. workshop 5a is where we always goes for our lessons one loh.. we also go workshop 5 sometimes lah...
It feels so good to steop into school again.. but then too bad.. school is having holiday at the moment.. thats why its so quiet and seems like on one is around.. maybe its better.. so we dont feel so pressure.. :P
Very surprise when i first enter workshop 5-13.. newly renovated... and i see my lecturer.. Mr Goh S K. Shock to even hear him calling my name... lol.. he still remembers me after all these years... count count count... whow, i have been graduated for 7 years already.. He still remains the same but i can see he has put on a bit of weight already... He's been one of the better lecturers we have had that time.... Sad to hear that most of the lecturers have left already.. Mdm Ling, Low Ee Ser..
Who's still left, Mr Goh, one female teacher (never teach me before but i know her), Idris.. and the famous Zainon...
Interview goes on rather ok and smooth.. anyway its my teacher interviewing me hahaha. Don't feel pressure lah.. very relax.. anyway i've been a good student all those years what.. no black records, and i am among the good students.. hahaha (so thick skin)....
Oh, actually there are 2 interviewers that interviewed me.. Mr Goh and Mr Ng. Both have already been a lecturer since my time there. After a detailed brief thru from them, I get to know what the job scope is about.. Hey its gonna change my life man if i really kenna. As i have ben doing drafting for all these 4 years... this new job is not going to be like that. Apart from daily mandatory job. You get the chance to learn extra new things. Like knowing abit of electrical things.. a little bit of structure things.. a bit of this and that.. and they will put you to course to learn these things as you may need to take over some people's job if they are not around. School may even send you for some other courses to upgrad yourself. If they have some renovation works.. then i will then have the chance to touch on autocad bah. Sometimes school will have booth or exhibitions, or career talks and etc.. and i will have to help design and set up things.. and how one will make it interesting and full of surprises... rather interesting huh.
Not forgetting to mention about the benefits and incentives that they have got to offer for successful candidates... yummy.
I dont know how i will fair. I have been thinking of changing lines.. but been trying hard to see what is the better road i can lead on for the rest of the years. Or maybe animation isn't the better choice for me eventually... as it really need alot of 'money' and experiences.
So what should i do if i am really so heng.... you know quitting from your current job takes alot of courage also leh... some says.. simply just open computer and type a resignation letter and hand in just like that. but say is easy.. so many 'why' why why?? why?? popping out here and there.
There will be a second round of formal interview with the head of department and directors etc etc... scary huh. Do you think i will be enlisted to the list of qualified personnel? Do i have what it takes to become the next TCO? :P Will i fumble upon the formal interview? What can the school give me in return for my giving in of heart and soul to my work and my committment and etc and everything??
See how fate goes lah... its a shaman's thing.... Wish me good luck can already.

I'll just leave it untitled.
Feeling rather lazy these 2 days... yesterday and today. Next week wednesday morning going for a job interview in the morning! So excited yet very nervous.... don't know how things will go... I am not very worried about the interview part.. i dont know how is my mind's direction towards this things... I do have quite a few considerations though.....
Firstly, i do really hope the interview can be a success and i do hope the school wants me.... the problem now is that I have reservist on October.. and for 3 weeks... so if i am really so lucky that the school recruited me, the gonna wait for me till november.. if i quit in time. Do you think the school will wait for me? Some friends told me that they will, as they have to understand that guys do have army committment like ict etc.
Secondly, if i really have so much faith and put in so much good hope for myself, so worried that if things turns out opposite, i will be so disappointed. Buddy ask me if i am keen for this job.. Well yes i do, it is so much different from plain drafting.. i have been doing drafting for 4 years already.. and this is going to be a big change and challenge.. its the post of a technical support officer.. and you got the chance to help out the students.. isn't it good? Sometimes you met problem in drafting and you find various ways to solve it... even if you dont know or not sure.. you explore until you find the answers! I'll like to be a big brother for the students though.. if i am able to impose my drafting skills and knowledge to them... it will be so much benefits. Well.. i am not experts.. and i would not say that 4 years in drafting is very good... but hey.. dont let my 4 years go down to the drains mah.
I am so damn worried.... I hope things can go my way.. Didn't the chinese horoscope during chinese new year mentioned that people who are borned in the year of the goat is doing great this year??? Hey 2006 is coming to an end soon leh.... It did also mention that if goat peeps want to look for a new job they will be able to get it and they can also even get the price they want.... Oh dear oh dear... if its that so true! I will be so damn lucky then!
I am really very worried now... Is it lack of confident?
I will have more things to worry about later on.... I will write again!

Fridae night, is the night, feel alright!
Well.... today suppose to meet up with him one. Last week he mentioned that why not we meet up the following week, which is this week and he mentioned friday or saturday... and i suggested friday cos after work mah can meet and saturday i got work also and i dont think he wanted to meet at afternoon right?
Yesterday night he never came online in msn.. ok nevermind, i messaged to him asking whats our plan for today. He said sorry and he can only meet me next time (never say when) and he is not in a good mood. I find that these tops really got a way to deal with things huh. Not in a good mood means to tell you not to disturb them anymore, dont bother to expect me to answer you anymore other questions. Cos i am not in a good mood! /claps.. ok. I am guessing he must have been either rejected by other guys or he has an appointment with some other guys.
Well, i think i have come up with this conclusion that next time i see him, i will find a way to express my feeling. I'll just tell him that i dont want to waste his time or my time. Since so far by now.... i can't sense he has got any feelings for me... or even a slight interest, other than sex. Someone who can't even bother to tell you why he is not in a good mood. Which clearly means that you are not someone who can share his problems.. even slight small minor ones. So do you think there are anymore other things to talk about? other than sex.
I am really not the one for you. I find that i am really not suitable for you. I don't think i am good enough so far. I've tried giving ourselves a chance to explore. But it seems that nothing could work. There are leak holes somewhere. We really lack communication (apart from the sex talks on the phone).. I've already expressed my view for my ideal partner. Communication is a very important factor in a relationship. And so far, i dont think that we have communicated enough though. I've tried. Even sms-ing doesn't work. Or maybe there is really nothing much we can talk about. I am not handsome, i am not cute, i dont have a nice well shaped up body. If you are really looking for someone that i have mentioned above, then sorry.
I'll rather we speak it out and lay down things clearly, than wasting our time, right? Don't you agree?
I am not brining myself low. Just that if we are serious, we wouldn't have ended up like that now.
God bless you and yours.
P.S. We can still remains as friends though, if you wish too. If not, i am, by all means, alright and i'll go with your decisions.

A rainy Thursday
It's a rainy Thursday. It has been raining since morning. I don't know what time it started. I only knows that by the time i woke up, the floor outside is already all wet. Nice little weather to sleep.
I didn't go to work today. Cos the starhub guy is coming to my house to fix our new starhub line. We have been using singnet for more than 10 years already. And then now we've decided to change. Cos we have had enough of the problem caused. Maybe because singnet is still using our telephone point to connect to the modem, there are quite a few problems that leads to one another. You can get disconnection when someone calls in. You can get disconnetion when the socket inside burnt. A bad microfilter. A bad telephone cable line. You'll never know and you need to buy so many extras of these items when problems arise.
Sometimes when you call up the singnet helpdesk to ask for a technical support from their officer.. you dont seem to get the answers you want. Maybe the experiences i've got throughout these 10 over years are really enough. And sometimes the person on the phone is so fierce that he expect you to know everything.
Suppose today is the last day of our singnet suscription and our bills are paid until today. But you know what happen? I believe the suscription is already cut off as at last night 12am. So wicked, so cruel, so inhuman..... this is what they do to their loyal customer.
Actually i should be happy now that i've changed to starhub and they are using the connection point from the wall which is already built in when we moved in. I myself is using a wireless surf and i found surfing net is rather faster now... infact much faster..... and now connecting to the internet is not thru wall phone socket point.... isn't it better?

Wednesday Eternal
Nothing much today actually... these days been going work slightly earlier.... 10mins earlier bah... With this timing, i am able to catch the bus to site office about 5 to 10 mins before start work time - 8:30am. If i go out of house later or like previously, i will sure late one. I can late until reach office at 9am. Which is not good really. So you see, 10mins can be so great difference already.
I think i everyday drank so many packets of coffee dont know if its good for health or not... morning home drink one cup.. later go office buy one packet.. then lunck one more and tea break one more.. lol. Don't know why, i just love coffee so much.
But still hor.. i can't win the turkish coffee.... Have you tried? There is a turkish resty at near Beach road there... that building with a cinema inside one.. call what.. shaw center? Second storey there is a turkish resty there you can go try.. food is not bad really.. price range from $10 plus to $20 plus bah. That turkish coffee, although you see the cup is so small.. like espresso's size.. but if you can finish it.. I RESPECT YOU! It is damn strong... that smell of coffee is already so strong.. i am not going to mention to you how the taste is like... you go figure it out yourself! HA HA.
Oh yea.. why is the title of my blog today called Wednesday Eternal. Yesterday i manage to download a song that i've been looking for for long. Its by KLF, quite long time ago already lah.. and the song is 3am Eternal. Very rock, very powerful. And i can never stop listening to it.... so since its 3 and today is wednesday.. so may as well...... haha.
Thats about it for today. Gribbit.
