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..

Silver..

Happy happy yea yea yea!

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.

Summary of what happened.

Well its been so long since my last blog... let me see... its been more than 2 weeks.. gosh.. i must have been real slacking....

Actually no lah... been having too much stuff happening these few weeks.. about my new job.. you remember? Its so troublesome to have so many stages to go thru.. first is the informal interview.. follow by a formal interview with the principle, director and hr head. Same day i received a call telling me that i got accepted but i have to go for a medical check up and x ray first before i can resign... bla bla.. 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...

Thats all for this blog.. follow up blog i will post some pics :) STay tuned!!!
