Back from traininnnnngggg! Woah!
It has been an amazing week to be on training with many other fun chaps! Actually it was sorta like a ntu gathering, since i suppose more than 75% were from ntu too. There were some others from overseas uni n i tink smu too, but since we were spilt into groups, i dint get too much a chance to interact with them.
The view from my hotel room. There's a bit of the sea view there... quite nice!
Food!! There's nothing to shop in Penang, at least for the guys, so what can I do but eat eat eat!
Some takeaways from my training trip...
1. I must learn to shut my mouth when necessary. That I should always think before saying things, especially when I get too high...
2. Foot reflexology is more painful than ticklish for me. I think I am having many problems all over my body since I feel at least some pain in almost every part massaged, and intense pain in some parts. Generally my digestion system isn't good, my head/shoulder has some problems (i agree) and I should cut down on sweet foods. Haiz...
As for the technical takeaways, hmmm...

flying
Sunday, August 20
Karma occurs when, I fly other people's aeroplane, and then some other people fly me aeroplane too on the next day. So I dun really blame my friends la, coz I understand, since I myself did the same thing. Hah!
And yep, I'll be flying on a real aeroplane soon! Will be away for the week and back only on Fri, w/o autoroaming on hp this time. Hope it'll be enjoyable, and I need to think of smart answers when people ask me, "So, what have u been up to this period?"
Need to wake up in 5 hrs time... Byez~~

new banner
Friday, August 18
That's my new blog banner done using Photoshop! The results of my learning... ah... But actually, I really didn't read a lot coz all guidebooks do get boring after some time. The best way to learn something is to use it yourself and playing around with the functions, which can be pretty enjoyable sometimes and sickening sometimes. I'm still a noobie though, n some parts could be improved on, but i'm satisfied for now. Coz it's late and i'm sleepy...
I'm finally going to start work le! I'm quite looking forward to it rather than feeling a sense of doom approaching. Need to remind myself now, i love work, i love audit, i love OT, i love long long OT everyday n being underpaid! The things I hope for are helpful n friendly teammates (*pray I wun have to work with some people whom i dun really like* ssssssh... secret!) who can impart useful knowledge upon me, as well as seeing opportunities being open and given to me. =)

1 more week
Sunday, August 13
This could very well be my last Sunday staying up late to watch Guess, and my last remaining weekdays staying up late to watch SCV like 康熙来了，红色风爆，小气大财神 and other nice shows that are shown quite late. But I'm not complaining la... It's time... it's time...
I've decided... I guess I should give myself some time in audit and then see how. 1 year? A few months? Dunno... When the time comes, I will know ba.
In response to Gil's tag, I'll do the following wile watching Guess. I think I did something like this before, will just do one selected section ba.
7 random facts about me
1. I've ONE set of tarot cards bought 1 or 2 years ago. Used it a couple of times, and sometimes the results can be quite accurate. Like when I was asking about audit, and this card signifying long working hours through midnight came out. But I wun indulge too much in tarot too, rather, I use it once in a blue moon for some general directions in life.
2. I've TWO ear piercings on my left ear. Actually I had thought of having like 1 or 2 more, but they can get quite painful when I can't pierce my stud through. Anyway, I will be working soon in a not too open environment, so I can forget about having more piercings now.
3. I've lost THREE HPs altogether ever since gotten my 1st HP in JC Yr 2, and spoilt one. So after losing my most recent one this Jan, I have been on high alert for my HP always.
4. To play mahjong, FOUR people are required. And yeah, MJ has become one of my favourite hobbies since hall life. Even during NS, i didn't play so much and wasn't very good at it. Now, I enjoy MJ as much as I enjoy KTV, shopping and gaming.
5. These past FIVE and a half years have been my most memorable times of my 23 years of living. Both NS and NTU are things of the past now, but I cherish every moment of my these 5 years.
6. I used to think I had some SIXth sense when I was a child, or rather, I hope to have some sixth sense like reading people's minds. Especially now when everyone has grown up, who knows what are one's true intentions?
7. I've been slacking for SEVEN days a week ever since my exams ended a few months ago. No doubt I will miss these days in the future.

宇恒 - 依然是朋友
Saturday, August 12
宇恒 - 依然是朋友
情人节的前一天,
他离开你身边
却剩下你到至今的想念,
那一夜我陪着你,
你哭了一整夜
你是否知道 我对他一样很想念
直到有一天我和他碰面
在那间我们常去的咖啡店
才知道有些感受
我和他谁都不曾说出口
我们之间隐藏了什么
除了我自己没人懂
可是你,你怎么说
你知道好事不是从此避开我 OH~
我一样难过多希望我们不曾相识过
才知道有些感受
我和他谁都不曾说出口
我们都是最好的朋友
谁会有勇气去开口
不在乎不再难过
我们还有好大好大的借口 OH～
故事的最后我们都不曾失去过什么
我们依然是朋友 噢～
有些歌曲，听了第一次，好想再听第二次，第三次，然后重复连续听了好几十次，也不会觉得腻或烦。
这首歌虽然不是在描述我此刻的心情，可是它却打动了我的心情。我也没经历过这首歌所说的情景，但是我还是有某种感动。我只想说，这首歌真的很好听。
如果有一天，我爱上了我朋友的情人（A)，结局会如何？也许当初我不知道A是我朋友的情人，可是却无意间对A产生了好感，甚至还会有些主动。如果知道了事实后，我想，我应该会保持沉默，因为我不想做第三者，因为我不想失去一段友情，因为我会措手不及而放弃似乎是最正确的方式。可是这毕竟只是想像，如果真的发生这种事情，我真的应该完完全全放弃吗？可以吗？放得下吗？我能够衷心的祝福他们吗？
我希望我不会被困在这个情景，不会成为这三角恋的任何一角，因为这是很痛苦的。
其实，我们都没有错，只是时间不对，缘份不合。。。

NBS Convo Ball
Friday, August 11
Aaah... Convo ball pics! Yeah la, I know I'm a bit late... ok quite late to be honest... But then, late better than never...
The first pic of this post, of course, must be my pic la!
Taken earlier in the car! Around 6pm... I wasn't as tired as I looked la, in fact I was quite excited. Just that maybe I was already prepared to set off some time ago, and then I switched on the TV and subsequently felt a bit sleepy...
Many thanks to smint's friend for driving us! Forgot his name, but he's a kind person la... haha. Thanks to smint for the lobang too! I forced them to take this photo, when we stopped at a red light!
Zenith was the name of our NBS Convo Ball! I dunno what it means, but at least, it doesn't sound too bad...
Dun u think that the hand that's creeping out to point at the "Zenith" is a bit out of place and a bit creepy? It's WH's hand, no doubt, but from this angle, it doesn't look like, right?
Or... was that WH's hand in the first place at all?? It was still the 7th month lor... eeeee...
This was one of the numerous pics taken outside the ballroom. Taken with Kelvin here! Basically we were looking for anyone we knew then taking photos here and there. I quite like this pic coz I looked tall here! Of course, not that I am that short in real life (180cm! ok la... 178... ok, 174... okok 171!!), but which guy doesn't want to look taller?
A picture of the ballroom of Fullerton! Classy... chio... whatever... The ambience was great!
Table 27! There's supposed to be the 6 of us, including xp, but xp was unable to attend this Ball because she had a rashes outbreak! Poor thing...
Anyway, the other half of the table was invaded by 4 super chio ladies, also from ACC, and though we didn't know them well, everything went well eventually!
Hall 14!! Eh yy, my table also got nominate you for the Ball Queen (I think it doesn't sound right here... but i forgot the actual title...), with me strongly recommending u on my table... haa. There were 3 slots lor, and our table only filled in one name, which was yy's!
Hall 14... aaah... Only chio bus and yandaos are worthy to reside in this Hall, as seen in this pic!
That's me and SW, my army buddy! We've been through much together and he's one of my best friends, in army and now! Only thing is, he only wanted to smile widely in this pic and not pose like me... And i dun mean to be rude ah, but the pics that his friend took of us were a bit blurred... tsk tsk...
Me and QF, also my army friend! He was also in mktg too, like SW, and while posting this pic, I remember that I am supposed to email him this pic as well as another pic he took with his friend, but I dun have his email wor...
Anyway, the trend for mktg guys that night is to wear white suits ah?? Hmmm...
Me and gil, being punched! Gil mentioned earlier on msn that she might be wearing some retro polka-dotted dress! Hmmm if she did, she would be simply outstanding there... Hah! Anyway I liked this pic a lot, especially our expressions! They were just right, not too over!
Mr TYW and mi! He's great, coz I said, "Let's act cute!" and he went, "Eh, ok!" He was also game enough to go on stage later as a yodelling drummer wanking drums! Ha!
Me with my CP and her programmers! Hmmm... Why am i the only one giving expressions here?? Anyway, lychee n jing are 2 eh, very interesting people to know... haa!
I realise that I knew a lot of mktg people... Out of the many people in BUS, I guess I knew the most from mktg, followed by econs, sorta know one guy from acturial, and that's all... Never knew anyone from B&F, IT and HR!
** Renovation of blog in progress... pardon for the little crosses here and there, and some funny stuff around...

National Day Blues
Thursday, August 10
Happy Belated Birthday, Singapore.
Gee... the wishes came a bit late, and as u can guess from my tone, i don't sound too excited by National Day.
At least, not initially. Firstly, I'm on holiday everyday now, and National Day as a public holiday doesn't excite me. Secondly, I seriously still dunno why Kaira Gong is selected to sing this year's song when she's just a newcomer, thus I'm not really paying much attention to this year's National Day songs. And lastly, National Day seems rather fake this year to me... I just can't feel the mood this year despite the pap hanging so many flags in my neighbourhood and on my blk becoz no one is hanging. Everything just seems so... u noe. x_X
Nonetheless, I am still moved when I see kaira's performance at the end as well as those fireworks in the sky. I'm suddenly reminded of my family and my friends. Yep. And I felt a bit emotional, esp when I heard "Home" again... "This is home, truly, where I know I must be." I'm reminded once again to treasure everyone around me before I lose the chance to do so.
Here's some inspiring words from the late David Marshall, in an exclusive interview done by a blogger some years back. Hope it'll inspire you too, especially when you have stepped/are stepping into a new phase of life like me too.

WTF FOC
Saturday, August 5
This past week was quite a busy week... It was the FOC week for Halls, so the kaypoh me decided to go back Hall to see the happenings in FOC. Think that the main comm n subcom put in a good job in organising a great experience for the freshies as I think most of the freshies enjoyed FOC alot.
And I could really feel some sort of generation gap... It seemed a bit hard to engage the freshies (female freshies are from 1987 one!) as they seemed to be in their own world always, in their own groups. Well, at least, they made new friends with one another...
Other than FOC, I also went around campus, engaging in some photo-taking in my convo gowns with some Hall friends. Honestly, I enjoyed being with my peers than in FOC... Coz the FOC isn't really meant for me, and I really felt a bit out of place there, and somemore, I dun really feel so attached to hall liao la.
Fright night... and 31 客窜 as 1 of the ghosts in her cosplay costume! She looked horribly scary, especially her eyes!! EEEEEEEE!!!
SP Night... Ciming (beside PQ) 客窜 as an Apus SA... We got along with her better than with the freshies. So, it really must be the generation gap.
So... this should be the last FOC i m going. 2 more weeks to starting work, and i m seriously anticipating it... zzzz...
Oh yeah, my favourite Superband, 迷路兵, won!!!! YESH they are the Superband!! Congratz to Nic, Weiqi n Sam, the 3 super talented and full-of-pattern guys!! Woah!
I've always supported 迷路兵 because they are truly talented. Young, and full of musical sense, judging by the arrangments of their performing songs. Other than J3's rendition of Xiao Wei, I think the other great performances all came from 迷路兵. Haa, i may be a bit biased, but seriously, 迷路兵 is really good lor, if not, why they win leh??

Anyway, me and gil were not the only grads there, altogether there are a total of 5 grads in the noon's trg session. The other 20 are yr 1s moving onto yr 2s! So, you could have guessed how old I feel... Hah!
- Went with mab n yy to take some grad photos @ heritage centre and yunnan centre. Yay yay, and sorta mastering the skills in tossing hats, and taking photos of tossing hats!
