Wednesday, April 02, 2008 @ 11:12 AM: life has its many down and little ups
many things have happened over the weekend. the following day after i quit, i went to see my eye specialist, mr jerry tan, who's my father's ns friend. then we chatted for awhile and got a document that states my eye condition - Left Duane's Syndrome. so we hurried to the cmpb to pass the document for processing. the place is inefficient man. 4+ we reached, the clerk told us that most of the staffs are gone and the office was close. luckily, we manage to find someone. i was later asked the sign documents to acknowledge my downgrading of pes from
A B to E and the change of my enlistment date to further notice. i was really very sad when i learnt abt the downpes and that i cannot be an army man/pilot.
sunday went to
sao qing ming went to many places, mandai, bishan, toa payoh etc. went for my bro's band concert at night which was nice.
pratically spent the few days sulking abt my ns thing, alot of things haven't been proceeding well in life for me. the idea of being labelled as a "less than human/defect" keep popping in my head once in a while. luckily i got friends who are there for me and joan by my side. =)
now mrs goh dun wan to hire me back coz my enlistment date is unconfirmed. hear from my ex-collegues that she's not hiring.. maybe have to find a new job again. sian..
i guess life must go on. no matter how rocky it is.. well i'm trying to look for some upgrading course that i can take within the 2yrs i'll be in the ns/admin.
anyone with info on part time degree/diploma/upgrading courses that takes 2 yrs or less pls tell me okay!
so come on, tell me.
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 @ 9:36 PM: STRESSful
i've finally finished submitting my nus,ntu & nie application form. its seriously a v pekchek thing to do. all thats left is to make payment and await for good news, if there's any. lol.
this week is my last week at work. i've tendered my resignation on tuesday. feeling abit sad cause i'll probably miss the company [most of them] as it reminds me of going to school somehow. reporting at 8.30. talk crap. make fun of another etc... this job certainly widen my horizon and let me see many things. like its normal in life for a staff to work for 10+ yrs without a raise in position.. like how people with authority are able to shout and scold u by justifying with their power. like how many Singaporean who complain abt the government policy.. and importantly, how the redtaping process comes about! i'll certainly miss saying " hi gd morning/afternoon, how may i help u..... my name is mr pow, p-o-w.pau. ah yes. bao qing tian =x "
This job has benefitted me alot as i've indeed improved on my articulation of words and be more outspoken i suppose due to my job nature. seriously i like my job, own small area, comfy chair, hi tech telephone and being paid at 7.20+/hr lol.
well. tml's my last day at work. wonder wat will my collegues plan for me. i think i'm the 1st guy to leave this sector.
on a random note. i caught Rule No. 1 with my gal a week ago. 15 more days before i enter ns. omg..
so come on, tell me.

WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
You scored as a Biology/Chemistry/Geology

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you.

Monday, March 10, 2008 @ 9:46 PM: the future is full of uncertainties
hi ppl. 7th of March was another eventful day as the A lvl results was released. i was both surprised and disappointed with mine. it soon sunk into my head that hardwork isn't everything. that slogging ur guts out and giving it ur all doesn't promises gd results. soon after which i found myself discussing with my friends abt planning for the next step- admission to uni. turned out there was alot of things i duno.
soon after. i fell sick. i spent my time looking at all the stuffs that the unis have sent to us. and narrowed it down. what i'll be doing now is prioritizing which course i'll take and taking into account its something i've interest in. sadly. it seems tt friends are telling me that the admission to chemical engineering is going to have some tough competition. judging by my results. i think i'll settle for those not-so-high in demand courses for local uni if nt i'll be going to a private uni, perhaps SIM. well. i'll be dropping down with joan and a couple of classmate to seek advice from teachers. hopefully i can make a wise choice afterwhich.
tension has been rather high. parents have been asking abt whether i can go uni [of coz i dun have an answer for them]. many questions, few answers and no encouragement.
anw. many other things have occured. joan changed back to her old job. kc graduated, xc quitted his, lin wei and yeow ting passing out this week and many others that i cannot recall. soon i'll be quitting mine and going ns soon. so eventful. lol
so come on, tell me.
Saturday, March 01, 2008 @ 12:17 AM: vexing
that was how i felt about my week working. it seems that almost all of the staff in our dept have been scolded regarding abt the late penalty issued this week. i still got a 1 wk old pending case which i've yet to settle and its starting to bother me. haha. i guess i've cultivating this habit of bring back home the sense of guilt and worry from work. today during lunch, my collegue talked to me abt a lvl result. saying that he's hoping that the plane carrying the results will encounter a misfortune and loss all our results. he then talked abt the grades have been recorded in the system already and hoping that someone will launch a virus to wipe out all the data. and how we'll get back our refund and retake our results this yr. LOL.
hmm. i've started an a/c in viwawa.com to play mahjong and sometimes
tai de. lol. its okay larh. prefer the real one though.
actualli i've got a query in my head. since blogs are like online diaries. how come there're news about how a blogger is being charged/complaint abt his entry where he is suppose to be freely share his thoughts. ironic? food for thoughts btw.
so come on, tell me.
Friday, February 15, 2008 @ 10:07 PM: bliss?
Just when i was getting comfy with my job, all the temporary staffs were notified to take a complusory 2 day leave every week. the reason was none other than cut cost since the peak period is over. Sly man. its either like a slow poison which makes us think of switching job and another hand. it solves the $ problem. was vexing over it coz if there's gg to be retrenchment. the 1st target grp would be the soon-to-be army boys. with only one mth to spare. who'll hire me? haha.
Ytd was valentines' day. went to fetch zihui and had pizza for dinner. i like the vday gift she got for me. haha.
Today was the 1st of the many upcoming leave i took. basically did nothing but watched the 1st 20 episodes of bleach since i started watching from its 100+ episode. packed my room a little too. yuppz. one day just got wasted just lidat.
so come on, tell me.
Saturday, February 02, 2008 @ 9:35 PM: welcome to the 19 yrs old club
i just turned 19 not too long ago. signifying the last of my teenage yr. and yes, meaning that i'll be going ns soon & getting back my a lvl results sooner. 1stly, i wish to express my thanks to the baskets, namely lin wei, lin xiong, qi han, xiaocong, chengen, koon chin, leslie, guo hao, yeow ting for the mahjong set and table. my dear joan for the shirt. my family for celebrating with me and friends who wished me and rmbed my bday.
i've gotten pretty used to my job. up till now, i've only encountered one rude caller. maybe coz i'm only in charge of tv license [fyi its the fee the MDA (media development authority) charge u for having tv(s) in ur house] whereas other collegues are handling callers of all kinds including owners to lawyers regarding abt the property tax and sometimes the conversations they have are equivalent to a lawsuit debate.
man. everyone's getting busy. its so hard to spend quality time with friends and loved ones. okay. thats random. i'll be reading up on my old amaths textbook in order to be fully prepared for my cousin's tuition tml. ciaoz
