Change

Think long time nv blogging, and has slightly switch my hobby from collecting Corinthians figurines to photo taking. So, from now on, i will post some of the pictures i have taken instead of showing those figures that i have bought so far, unless it is something special...

1st theme for a start, Kids at Bugis Junction - water fountain...

End of semester 2.

It's been 6 months since my last post due to my work & study. Ok. fastwards to now after 6 months of absence.

Well, its been another semester over for me in my 1st year... just finished my last paper ytd. Rest for 3 weeks for exam, and work for 1 day (today), and then rest for another 3 days.

The past 3 weeks seems like 3 yrs to me. Everyday stay at home or at sch, facing the lectures notes, tutorials etc and with lots of ???. Then after absorbing all sorts of understanding and theory after a long day, i can't even sleep well during the night (mind is still thinking!!!). After every paper, in order to relax myself, i will play some games and ate a lots. And also, after every paper, i have a very bad feeling... will i be able to pass this modules? You see, everytimes when you are revising, everything seems to be clear and you understand the questions etc, looking thru all those past yr paper (which is deceving to me) seems like you can handle those questions. The worst part is... in the exam, all things are totally different, the questions you got is seldom came out in the past, and also due to too much intense studying, your mind will become BLANK!

So here i go again, feeling the same as what i felt last semester. The anxious feeling... Hopefully i can get thru this semester once more, and i sweared to myself to study early and dun wait till the last moments.

Not to forget my catch for the past 6 months collection:

Unlucky Nov ~~~

Finally have some free time to catch my breath now... after some "exciting encounter" in the early Nov and my 1st sem exam which is 2/3 completed. But there is still more to come next week: the SCSM 2008 (Full marathon) and my final paper on Friday. Well, juz to summarize my luck for this month, it is actually pretty "suai" for me.

1st - 2 weeks ago (8th nov), i juz fell down from my bicycle after making my delivery for my 1st ever overseas postage to UK. i missed my footing on my left bike peddle and slipped to my left, causing serious scratches along my left forearm, leg and even my hip bone. That's not the worst, for the postage that i sent overseas, i have under-charged the buyer for abt SGD$5! i have to cover up that cost myself! Then for the following 2 weeks, i have to limp ard to work, to school and home. Such a disaster, lost $$$ and injured too.

2nd - next is the bicycle that i fall down from, which i just found out from my mum on Wed, it is stolen which i locked juz outside my staircase!!! Argh~~~ Heartless ppl who have to make my trip to post office next time even harder... by walking. Sad, curse the theft to fall down too. Haha...

And that's all for this blog today. i am getting more & more lazy to write blog nowadays. Haizzz... Take care!Not to forget my collection of the day. Select 500: Cesc Fabregas - the newly appointed Captain of Arsenal. Hope to see more of his good performance to come for this talented youngster. :)

(Work & Study) * infinity

Last week is a short working week, only 2 days. Stuck at home for the past 5 days of rest, trying to force myself to revise or at least study a bit of my uni stuff. Nowadays, i am finding that the time is not enough for me. Mon, Wed, Fri, 3 days gone. Then left only Tues & Thur after work to revise. Then for weekend, worst. No mood to study, so really have to get myself going now, else is too LATE!!!

At work, i am always stuck in an endless loop, keep on repeating the same routine everydays without failed. And being the "hands" of the enginner, which means that i will only do measurement or analysis, nothing else. The conclusion or result? I will never know. Despite that i am the one doing all this, i was never get involved in any discussion or explanation. For instance, i was told to do this, then after do all the necessary things, data collected and sent. That's it. The findings, conclusion, result, report etc will never get back to me, if yes, only verbally. So far, only one of my boss will always keep me in the loop abt the issue. Others? Nope. Sometimes, even need a 3rd party to inform me abt it. Its like i am collecting all the jigsaw pieces by pieces together without able to know the puzzle at the end. Sad to say that, in fact its has been always like this for so long.

Well, really can't be bother by this. If not, there will be more white hair for me. Having start my part-time study now, which means that i have to be stuck in this loop for the coming next 4 yrs time. Juz pray i can endure that long... ...

*** Sorry for another complaining post...



*** Mont Saint Michel (France) - After all the nagging, at least this place will keep me focus and relax. Hmm... Maybe 4yrs later will go France again to look for this. Endure...

BIRTHDAY month...

Oh, it's Sunday today, sad. Tmr need to work again... But it's ok, since next week i only have school on Mon & Wed. This month is a very BIRTHDAY month to me. My sec frens CJ, YR & IVAN is celebrating birthday @ 5th, 15th & 19th respectively. My colleague's son is @ the 12th and my bro is today, the 21st. So many ppl born at this September except in different yr. Wish all of them a Happy Birthday, good health and have a successful future ahead.

Ytd juz been to my ex-colleague charlet at Downtown East together with my present colleagues. Too bad, i am having a sore throat then, so can't really able to eat too much BBQ's food. But, i spent my time trying to lure those babies of my colleagues to let me carry.

The babies are as followed:

1. AL's baby gal. She is so cute and chubby with a mushroom-shaped hair. She let me carry her very easily, but quite an effort to carry her.

2. LC's baby boy. He also have a very chubby face with a mohawk hair-style. This one is easy too, but juz that he has juz drank milk. And the moment i carry him with him facing me, he throw up those milk on me. Eer...

3. LY's baby. He is a very handsome-looking boy. This one is the hardest of all. No one has the chance to carry him, except his mum.

4. The other 2 babies of YP's & Alicia's, i didn't attempt.

So beside sweating over the BBQing of food, i also have the smell of those milk. ~~~

Fernando Torres (Liverpool) - From Series 38, this is the most sought after normal blister currently.

Sleepless nightzzz....

It's been a long time since i can start to blog again. After 1 month of juggling between part-time study and work, i could hardly have a nice sleep during weekdays. So i will be looking towards the weekend every week now.

Yesterday, juz goto took my 2nd IPPT at Tampines SAFRA. And yes, is w/o $$$ again, this time round, i flop. And likewise for my other 2 frens. They fall out earlier than me in the 1st few laps, but i fall out at the last 400m!!! Only taken 2 egg tarts as my breakfast and i am too hungry to continue my last 400m, sad... So be it, will take it again during Dec period when my exam over.

So another day has gone, and today i have juz completed the KPE 10km run. The timing is: 1:19:19 (hh:mm:ss). 10mins slower than my normal 10km timing. This is partly due to the air ventilation in the tunnel. At certain point, it was very humid and stuffy. Worst, one ppl fainted along the way back. Luckily, he's fine afterward. Its really a nightmare running in the tunnel, coz what you look ahead is the endless turns and the bright sides at the very end. Every turns will still see the light beyond ur reach. Its like an infinity tunnel. And indeed, its the longest road tunnel in S.E.A. Haha...



Select 500 2008: Del Piero (Captain of Juventus) - One of my favourite players of all times in the away jersey with a captain armband. Looking forwards to the start of Series A...

SAFRA Army Half Marathon 2008 (24th Aug 08)

Woke up 5 am today, reached there by 6.20am & flagged off at 6.45am. Today i have participated in the SAFRA Army Half Marathon, this time round, no more "rice dumpling" as breakfast! Instead, i ate breads which can last me longer.

After 2 months plus since the Passion run in June, i have not make a single running session ever since, and it really took its toll on me. For the start, i do some slow jogging, until the 7km mark, i started to slow down at ard ECP area. I half walked half run until the 14km mark. From then on, it is disastrous. The make-shift road (those meant for construction worksite) is so uneven and muddy, not sure why it is planned that way. To avoid any injuries, i walked thru out the whole route till the Marina Barrage (abt 1.5km away). After that, i continued my run. Partly due to some muscle-ache on my thigh area, i struggled to complete the race. In the end, i took abt 2hrs 52mins 07 sec to finish (my expected timing is 2.5hrs). (Will update again once i got the actual timing).

At Pandang, it is more worse. The field is all covered by mud, and i have to maneuver ard to collect the finisher meadal and drinks. In the end, my shoes became brown. Luckily, once i reached home, it started to run hreavily up till now. And my next run? The KPE 10km run in September... :)

* Congratulate to my colleague Jasper, for completed the run too.


*** Tomasz Kuszczak (Poland/ Manchester Utd): This is not a very special figure. But is rare coz he is the 2nd choice Goalkeeper in Manchester Utd. Normally, only the first choice keeper from each club is released in the Series. But for Series 40, he is released too after Van Der Saar in Series 32. Two keepers to be released in a club. 1st time...
