HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

long time no see....

time past quickly... i'm into the final term of temping, ending on 3rd July... the team's audit is ending soon and it'll be back to a normal 6pm knock off timing... can't wait for that to happen..

well the internal audit team is made up of auditors from different countries, including an intern from the states! woah can't imagine having the opportunity to go overseas during an internship... how cool can it get....

well as i browse thru the freshmen guide sent by NUS recently, can't really over-anticipate life in the campus...

hmm of course i gotta talk abt my recent trip to mt chabang... it's a really tough experience man!!! phew glad to be back in one piece... the mountain was in it's most natural state, being relatively unknown and less climbed... wat makes it difficult was the rain... making all grounds wet and slippery... and the saf brooks footwear didnt help much... luckily it's quite new; the other guy wore an old saf new balance and had his sole completely came off after all the sliding thru the mud...

the ascent was difficult, i was most of the time on fours... grabbing on anything that i can trust my weight on and climb upwards... for a moment it seemed like never-ending... even though not a tall mountain, the ascent was relatively slower cos the paths are very slippery and there was slipping most of the time...

when i almost reached the submit, i tot... if coming up is this difficult, how to go down?!?! i turned back and looked at the unrecognisable path which i came up from, i juz can't picture me going down... looks like sliding down requires less imagination...

the submit was rather cramped... small space wif bushes and alot of ppl... dun even hav enf space to stand ard... still, enjoyed a brief moment of cool air and nice view...

but wat has to be done has to be done... can't avoid the desent even after lame talks like getting a chopper to fetch us down or even asking them to build an elevator...

the descent was alot faster... compared to climbing up, where i stop frequently to look ard for hand holds and good footings, going down is alot more straight forward....

oh well... i end up with mud and minor cuts all over... hand especially... grabbed stems wif thorns all too often in a bid to resist that free-fall feeling....

unfortunately the group was split up and return to the campsite had to halt to wait for the other group... they didnt come until night falls... tat's when i hav to thank my beloved brother... who in an effort to reduce spendings, gotten me a useless small torch which doesnt really shine even in total darknes...

wonder if it's a blessing in disguise... my trekking speed was rather fast... didnt see wat i was going to step on.... juz go on and go...

of course... keep falling at the same time...

chose to abandon planned climb to mt besar... onli 4 out of 10 of us proceed on wif the climb... they were the oldest and most experienced climbers... a man aged 60, another past 50, the onli lady in the group and one more guy...

well... nice to be back... hahaaa... not a bad experience but it's too challenging for me to be enjoyable...

next stop - batam trip!! 20th to 24th... looking forward...

blog blog blog...

wat do i wan to blog abt?

sort of settled into working life now... as in, temping life... becoming a routine of working, taking public transport, teaching tuition, and playing soccer or bball or simply chilling out wif everyone...

everything's like a cycle and now i'm juz sitting in front of my front, probably ran out of interesting soccer news to read, contacts to chat wif, emails to check, etc...

working's so far so good.. everyone's like a teacher and u can learn alot... but uni path's still not any much clearer... i'll juz hav to take on an adventurous spirit and explore and discover...

hopefully, this journey will not only be smooth, enjoyable, fun, unforgettable but most importantly, fruitful...

good day!

ermm, rather, night...

it've been some time since i last blogged... been working and all...

money is really hard to earn...

looking forward now, left wif 3 more months b4 gg into uni!!!...

tat'll be another change of lifestyle, change of everything...

still haven really decide how i wan to lead my uni life... do i wan to take up a cca? or choing academic and get good grades? of course i'll love to be able to do everything... but after being told tat uni is like having A levels every term, i am doubtful i'll enjoy much...

tat's y i need to take up something which interests me...

looks like physics is the right choice for me... hopefully it is...

alrite! i gg to work tomolo!!! yeah!!! (read from a body language book, if u express body language of certain emotions, u'll feel tat emotion too. For example, if u display body language of enthusiaism, u'll feel more excited and less bored and tired)

YAH!!! I LOVE WORKING!!!

hmmm.... i'm gg to start work tomolo.... sian!!!!!

hahaa... on one hand, i'm earning some cash, so it's good... can eat, spend more guilt-freely...

but then... it's freaking far away... near expo... argh....

alrite, i'll juz work for 1 month, den see wat other options i hav...

will be doing lots of travelling.... still dunno where to hav my dinner, when i hav tuition scheduled in serangoon at 1930....

maybe i'll be another life altogether tat i'll be experiencing... after all, i've nv been thru such b4...

hopefully, it will turn out to be managable... dunno why, after slacking so much doing nothing, really felt the inertia to start doing work again...

argh.... working tomolo... sian....

first hour of the last day of the lunar year... wat can i say here? wish everyone a happy chinese new year ahead..

seems like nothing's enough... keep buying stuff and spending money lately... muz go back to my thrifty days if i ever wan to survive wif the remaining of my 'coffin money'...

looking at the bright side, perhaps the hong bao money will help a bit...

when there's no work, i feel sian, bored, nothing to do all day long...

when there's work, feel sian, gotta wake up early, travel, and work...

well, y do i always so sian...

hmmm... maybe i juz hav to find more meaning in life...

instead of wasting my days away in the vicious cycle tat repeat constantly and never bring anything at all...

muz find happiness in simplicity, learnt in the show smiling pasta...

easier said than done

first experience of wat is blood sweat money (xue han qian)... not exactly wat it meant, juz tat i sweated and bleed today while at work...

the bleeding was nothing, juz a small cut in my hand by a sharp corner of computer server.. wound was rather deep, stopped bleeding onli after some time...

but sweat, tat wasnt nothing... a bit tired actually.. although it's not the physically toughest i've tried...

quite amazed by the driving skills of those hugmonous trailers and trucks and lorries... the parking really need a great deal of expertise... everytime when a trailer park we will all turn to see, and everytime we'll wow!!!

hmmm... vdae coming.... heard this from 987 carrie chong, for those alone during this v dae, it could be alot worse.. juz tink of those hungry, starving, homeless...

yep... so, to all of u who will be alone wif me this vdae, dun despair... for me, well.... this the first time in 3 years i'm not spending v dae outfield in the jungles wearing green... tat's a cause for celebration...

so, which kind female gentle soul would like to join me in the celebration?
