The day is approaching real soon. This time, i am really going to leave liao. A mixture of feelings as well. Sad that i am leaving my comfortable nest in Singapore, but also in a way looking forward to a new lease of life.

My Nua days are finally coming to an end. I have to put things behind and learn and work hard for my career.

I doubt i can sleep well tonight. For one, i think i would feel damn lost after i check in to the gantry. Lost about being alone in a plane. Lost about being alone in an airport. Lost about being alone in a foreign country.

The feeling is totally different from the way i felt during my NZ trip with the guys. This time, i have no one to help me out when i need help.

No one to share my joys and excitement as well

Yesterday was our heart to heart family gathering. Seriously, it was a mixture of feelings of happiness and sadness. Happy to see so many people turned up. Like Meiyan and William. When i saw Meiyan, i felt so touched and i was trying my best to control my tears. It feels so good to see my seniors making an effort to come for this gathering.

Tuesday was my convocation ceremony. Can't believe that i have officially graduated from NTU. These 3 years really flew past so quickly. So fast that i couldnt bear to leave. Beside the ocassional complaints of project mates and exam stress, there are many many things that i have gained these 3 years. Deep friendships forged, a fresh army guy transformed into an individual to step into the world working.

Thus, i was filled with emotions on that day.

I am very very grateful to what NTU has given me. My results were not good enough for me to receive those awards which my peers did. Nevertheless, i am still very grateful to the opportunities that NTU has given me. One thing that i told myself during these few months is that i would want to give back to NTU. Be it monetary or non monetary, i would want to contribute where ever possible to help my school or fellow school mates.

And first thing i did was to join the NTU Alumni. It is one way to keep myself in the loop with NTU. I am not sure how else i can do my part for now. But i have a wish, which is to assist students of NTU financially, mainly because i know there are many people whom require our help. Also, i was one of the lucky few who received scholarship award in NTU.

Cheers NTU, I am so proud of being part of NTU

Long dated entry was ought to be done before i fly off.

Here goes, 6 weird things about me

1) I am very peculiar about toilets. I cannot stand dirty toilets and i actually have a list of my favourite toilets in Singapore. I look at the toilet seats, spaciousness of the cubicles, taps etc.

2) I actually cry easily. Okay, laugh for all you want. As a true blue pisces, emotions is my best friend. I can fucking cry over many things. TV drama is one of them. Watching another person cry is another. Yeah, i know crying isn't the most adult thing to do, but it's not something i have much control over.

3)I have a soft spot for aunties. Not fetish lah. It's those kind of feeling that i can be more accomodating towards aunties. Usually whenever i see those cleaner aunties clearing plates in food courts, i would feel sad and unhappy because they shouldn;t be doing such a tiring job.

4) I have a fetish for lau chios ( mature ladies). Young chicks do not interest me at all. It's those ladies who have reached a certain milestone in their life, with indepedent minds that is most interesting to me. Especially when they are still able to maintain their youthful looks. Hurrah!

5) I sweat very easily. I dunno why but i can get all wet after a meal or just a stroll down Orchard Road. Not to mention the sauna baked No.4 Uniform. I find it quite amazing that such a small guy like me have a huge capacity to sweat. I thought only physically huge people tend to sweat more.

6)I walk very fast. Like the way i speak, i tend to walk very fast and tend to get very irritated if people walk too slow, hence slowing me down. Maybe because my legs are short, i tend to make up by walking faster

That's all..6 things about me..but i dun intend to tag and subject people to this game lah!

I have a feeling that i am going to lose a good friend of mine. All because of me.

Am i going to repeat the mistakes that i had made one year ago?

I hope that everything would be gone with my brief departure. It has to

It is always hard to bid farewell. Sadly, i had to bid farewell after going for my 4th NBS FOC.

Took a test called what Colorgenics. I am supposed to be like this sort of person.

"You are very ambitious and because you seek and need recognition, you try in your own way to impress people and you want to be looked up to - to be both popular and admired. You feel that there is a gap which separates you from your fellow man, or woman as the case may be, but this anxiety is an unnecessary one. Keep on the way you are going and you may surprise yourself.

Always anxious to accept the role of the leader, as indeed you often work well with people - but try to stay out of the limelight. You'd like a life of ease with no one to rock the boat and someone who understands you is so important in your life.

Compromise is the name of the game at this time and it is the only way you can avoid being deprived of the love and affection you so rightly deserve -so soften up a little, be flexible.

For whatever the reason, you find it extremely difficult to sustain relationships - that is to sustain them in the manner that you would wish. You are a very gentle sort of person, full of feeling, sensitivity and susceptible to love and affection, looking and longing for a partner with whom you can enjoy 'All things bright and beautiful' - someone with whom you can seek out the more esoteric things of life. But up to now this person has only existed in your imagination. You are very choosy, appreciative, refined and extremely artistic in temperament and it is your hope to seek others who will allow you to form and express your own taste and judgement and who at the same time may assist you in your intellectual or artistic growth.

You are being very dogmatic, insisting that there is to be absolutely no equivocation whatsoever about your achievements and accomplishments. "

So it is confirmed already.

Sorry about the lack of updates. Partly because i am too nua to blog about the nitty gritty of my slack life. Partly because there is nothing big that is going on in my life now.

Anyway, this week was spent in the following manner.

Monday. Met Boss( finally) at his hotel. We had a nice chat, mainly about the job that i will be assuming. Not an easy job. I envision that pressure to perform will be one of the fear he has touched on. Expects lots of scolding and shouting from my superiors. Thus, on one hand looking forward to start my march towards being a high net worth individual (Read: suave, rich and young chap, haha!) on the other, i fear that i am not ready to join the workforce. (But we are always not ready to work, right?)

Meeting went on for about an hour and another half. After the meeting, my fate and work was fixed. I will be joining the company after all, i guess because he told me to fly over in end july and start in early aug. Duration: Supposed to be 2 mths, seems that now is 3 mths instead.

Tuesday. Went up to JB with Chang and KJ. It has been a while since i last went up to JB. Nothing much changed and agenda was simple. Just shopping and buy some HK dramas DVDs to have a matharon drama watching. Dead tired when i came back to Singapore in the late evening.

Wednesday. The highlight of Wednesday was went Zouk with Chang, Grace and HL. Yeah, i am still the good old sucker of Mambo. No choice, mambo retro is just in my blood. Blah. And yah, in the afternoon, watched 6 episodes of my HK drama. Warning: HK dramas are addictive.

Thursday. Woke up at 12 noon.( Screams!) Grabbed my lunch while my eyes were glued to my DVDs for another 6 episodes.

Friday. Met up with Boss and went office viewing with him. It was really an eye opener to see all the office spaces and all the necessary work needed to bring an office into a working condition. But i am rather exhausted because i slept late yesterday. Blah!

Looks like my days of nua-ing are numbered. *Cringes*
