Yesterday was my last day of work. Funny how things turn out. I initially wanted to make yesterday my last day of work as i decided that it's probably time for me to enjoy my holidays. But when i went back to the office in the afternoon, i realised there wasn't much stuff left to be done, as all other temps were also idling around.

Anyway, yesterday morning and early afternoon was spent with my parents. I invited them to go to the law firm with me. I went up to the law firm to settle some documents which i need to send to my company. 4 documents to be signed by the lawyer, $21 in total. Settled in 10 mins in which i didn't even get to meet the lawyer in person. I gave it to the secretary and she passed it to the lawyer.

I am still amazed how valuable the lawyer's signature is. A signature from her is worth $5, whereas mine is worthless. Damn! Should have opted to become a lawyer instead

The arrival of 3rd June is impending and i am getting increasingly excited as the day approaches. I will be flying to New Zealand for my holiday next Sunday! Though i am feeling kinda of under prepared, but my well deserved overseas holiday still manage to get me all hyped up.

Though it is not my first time visiting New Zealand ( I was there with the army in 2004), i believe the experience this time would be entirely different. Travelling with Chang and KJ and on a car ( not with army friends and army truck).

The expenses would be damn heck of a concern. I dun have enuff to spend! Arghh..though i have been working for a short while, it is only enuff to buy myself a camera. Haiz

I need money!!

I noticed something interesting today on the train. I dunno if anyone has noticed it before, but those male working adults have this peculiar habit of carrying their haversack only on one side.

What is i mean is u know, haversacks have two handles. Your hands are supposed to go through BOTH handles in order to let the haversack sit nicely on your back. But these guys, dunno why love have a thing to carry by one side, so one side of the haversack is dangling loosely.

I cannot understand the rationale at all. Ok , perhaps they are afraid that someone might just steal something from their bag without their knowledge...but STILL??

u think the other side of the bag is for nothing, perhaps to look nice?

And i can assure you, you don't look good with one side of the haversack dangling loosely. I get annoyed when the side of the haversack that was let loose brushed against me. Come on! Do the right thing! Don't do the half fucked stunt ok?

2nd day of day. Boring as usual. Just staring at the computer until evening. Seriously, i feel like it's end of the world everyday i woke up to go to work. Especially when i am brushing my teeth, my brain reads: " What the fuck am i up so early for work! I should be sleeping soundly on my bed!!"

Anyway, for the sake of money to buy my digital camera, i shall endure to the end of this week! I need some spur and pat on my back!! haha

Installed statcounter a couple of days ago. I discovered i actually have visits to my blog from Jordan and Macdonia. How amazing!! Please, guys, help me advertise to your friends about my blog...

It's interesting, inspiring, funny, thought provoking, right??

I began my temp job yesterday. Not that i enjoy it, it was boring and rather useless. My job was to process and enter data into the company's system. You see, the company is a high class country club so members' data need to be filled in. For the sake of money, i shall endure the shit for a week plus.

But that aside, the club is chic to the max. It serves really the high net worth people and has a marina for its members owning yachet! Amazing!

I realise all jobs are boring, i just hope i won't be that demotivated when my permenent job starts. Maybe i won't because it's my career after all but now i just wish to nua~~

Blah~~

I am officially broke. It is so frustrating that i am unable to find any part time job to make use of my free time that i am having now. I know, most of my friends said, you will be working for the next 40 years or more ( scarli next time all of us are going to retire at the age of 75* gasp*), enjoy life while you can! Yes, i totally agree, not that i enjoy working but i need the money!

It is daunting to think that i will be flying overseas possibly 2 times for the next few months, imagine the expenses! The expenses for the 2 trips will be hefty for sure. With zero income in the near future, i dun see how will my bank account balance manage to revise itself upwards automatically.

Oh well, how i hope money will drop from the sky into my room window. Make it in $10 and $50 dominations will be good. $1000 dominations quite hard to find shops that accept that.

I cried.

I literally saw my tears rolled down my cheeks as i sprinkled salt on a fucking big ulcer on my lip.

Ulcer ought to die so i battled it with salt. Can some scientist invent some vaccine for ulcers?? Stop researching on slimming pills or what organic food. Help us out with a vaccine against ulcers.

Anyway, 3 cheers for keetzai being so brave against ulcers. Applying salt on ulcers is a couragous act.

3 boos for ulcers. You ought to burn in hell

Went Mambo last night with Chang and Yuan Chun. Okay lahz, didn't enjoy as much as i wanted. Probably i wasn't drunk enough. Anyway what i wanted to say in this entry was what i saw last night.

There was this guy who was dancing and flirting with chicks. And before you knew it, his hands were all over the girls' bodies. And a few of them reciprocated by fondering the guy back.

PLEASE LOR! I can't stand that guy! It was amazing that i have such strong reaction. Somehow i feel it isn't correct thing to do. Call me traditional shit or conservative, i dun really bother. Come on lahz, it isn't decent to fonder someone u hardly know, and fondering ppl to ppl, as if you are performing for the night.

So i hope the guy next time would give birth to a daughter. I wonder how he would feel if his daughter gets fondled by someone else. I am a strong believer of karma.

The girls who reciprocated are no much better either. PLEASE LAH, have some sense of decency. If i were their father, i would have slapped them until they cannot recognise their mother and throw them out of the house. Such a disgrace!

These bunch of ppl better wake up their idea. WAKE UP LAHZ!

So I am not going to join Police over all. This has to be the biggest and most daring decision that i have made for my entire 24 years. Because i am rejecting a job which offers me job stability (read: iron rice bowl) and a pay package of at least 3.2k which is higher than a lot a lot of my peers. But i have no qualms about it because of the opportunity that i am getting. For one, it is a once in a lifetime experience which none of my peers would have. While i am not very sure what job suits me the best or where my strengths are, i am very sure that i am not contented to be one of those ordinary junior executive (read: i am not looking down on u guys, but i yearn for something different)

Frankly speaking, joining police would have given me a different experience. But this coming one excites me even more and it would open up more doors to me. So i am adament about my decision.

When i made my decision, there were no second thoughts. I knew i want this badly. I always thought i am those risk adverse type( I still think i am, judging from how 'hum' i was in the casino on the ship), unwillingly to leave my comfort zone. Perhaps it is time for me to leave my comfort zone and see how things are outside.

Talking about my family, of course my parents would prefer me to join the police because it is more stable and i would have a more balanced life style. But my parents are equally supportive of my decision not to go. They merely asked me a few questions and case closed. They probably trust my ability to make an informed decision and no one knows myself better than yours truly. My brother is totally supportive because he is those adventurous type( more than i do).

I feel i am in control of my decision this time round. I have to make my own career decision. During my school days, i wanted to go ACS(I) but my dad was a no-go. Thus, i landed in Bukit Panjang. Not that it was a bad decision or what, but i always wonder how different would i be if i am those AC boys.

There is always a trade 0ff in life. Thus the trade off: Low pay for 1 year. Sianz 1/2.

No Zara/Raoul. Make do with G2000
No Topshop/GAP. Make do with bugis street/army market
No Europe/London. Make do with Batam/Hong Kong

Begin of my frugal( at least i try) life......

When someone told you our world is becoming more globalised, you better believe it.

I have always that such topics are so GP-styled. I remember i wrote this topic once during my oh-so-long-ago JC days. Maybe bcos i have a lot of time on my hand now so my mind is thinking about chim stuff. ( Suddenly, i no longer feel that himbotic.)

Why do i suddenly feel our world is more globalised than before?

On my msn list:

One friend is in europe( think Austria) having student exchange
One is in Norway having student exchange
One sec sch friend went to Germany
One of my university junior is in New Zealand
Another will be going to Japan coming August

Many of my friends going to these places for graduation trip

Europe
Taiwan
Hong Kong

One of my senior is leaving for Taiwan for work

And for me,

I just came back from Malaysia and talked to someone over skype last week.

It is pure mind bloggling to see how interconnected we are with the rest of the world. Compare this with just 10 years when i was still in Secondary School. Internet was just getting popular and mobile were still a symbol of status and wealth. People were still not as well travelled. Somehow, i feel the world felt much larger to us back then than it is now.

All of us should feel excited that the world is more connected than ever. It could mean more opportunities for everyone to find their own place where they belong. There is probably no way to escape this huge of tide of globalisation and we all should ride on this ride to success!

Just came back from Cruise to Redang. It had been around 7 years since i last went for a cruise. Photos will be posted once Kian Wee sends to me!

Quite shagged anyway, probably of the late nights and activities which consist of EATING, EATING and more EATING!

Anyway, had quite a few of memorable things during the cruise. Shall mention with the pictures with a later post

Tomorrow will be my last paper ( which i am sooo dead). Both looking forward to end of exam and to a new lease of life i would be transformed from a student to a young working adult. But right now, i just want get my exam over and done with. I have made a lot a lot of plans for my last holiday. Tennis, clubbing, watching drama serial, exercise...

A lot of things have been going on my mind. Nothing confirmed yet so i cannot disclose much for the moment. I just hope everything can fall into place nicely. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyway, tml is First to Exam Hall, then to Redang!
