Merry Xmas !!!

Merry Xmas to everyone. Hope you find love and joy wherever you are.

As for me, I guess its the same for me every xmas. Stay at home and watch tv lor.
Trying to jio some people out to check out the new Ministry of Sound club though, but nobody seems readily interested.

See how it goes bah. Enjoy your xmas everyone =)

Working for 2mths already...

I started work at my current workplace on 19th Oct. Today is 19th Dec, so its exactly 2 months. Woot, time flies.

So how I feel about my job. "so-so" only lah. Kinda boring, especially when I got a Indo guy with working attitude in my team. I was expecting a pretty babe you know, keke. Instead I got this guy, always like to ask alot of stupid qns, always push blame to other people, always lazy in doing his part, his voice kinda annoys me too (not that he cant speak proper english), just that its annoying especially when he ask those stupid qns and pass those brainless remarks.

For example, one of our colleagues was walking around offering chocolates to everyone. After my "great" team member finish his chocolate, he came over and ask me, "Eh Jason, why is there chocolates, what the occasion?" Strange question right. Must have occasion then can offer chocolates to eat meh? Use a little common sense, you will know its almost xmas, so these might be some xmas treats. Just eat lah, ask ask ask, for what.

Many people not happy with him, including my team leader, who complained to me about him on my 2nd day of work. This is how much unhappy people are with him. Still got alot lah, lazy to write already.

Anyway, just check my bank account, payday is here again. Good to see some money credited into my accountm instead of always debit debit n debit. keke.

xmas is just next door!!!

Well, people always say X'mas is around the corner. Since I'm at home now, around the corner can be just next door only right?? Haha. Crap.

Anyway, wow so fast, X'mas is here already. That's why I changed my blog background also. And also uploaded a very nice Jay Chou song call fa ru xui for you all to listen. Enjoy hor. Must on speaker huh keke.

So what will I be doing this X'mas. The same lor I guess. Go my uncle place eat, cause my cousin birthday also around this xmas, so celebrate together lor.

Beri beri soon it will be 2006 liao. so fast hor. Seems like I just came back from Melbourne only. That was August then. Now december liao. But but, i think this year's xmas a little different. you know why? because i not a student this xmas, but a bored application developer this xmas wahahaha.. think you surely think i very bo liao.

you know when i started this blog, i tot i write blog can improve my english or improve my writing, but now don;t care liao lah. so manfun got to write proper english. singlish much more simple lah. afterall, i not from england mah, i from singapore. =p

ok lah, i hereby wish everyone a merry xmas, remember to faster go buy your xchange gifts hor and enjoy yourselves ah..

btw, if you thinking of watching this movie "The promise" starring Celicia Cheung and Nic. Tse, please don;t go and watch, cause its a crap movie. THE WORST MOVIE I WATCH THIS YEAR. ARGHHH. watch it a GV somemore, so ex, 8 bucks. can eat a few plates of chicken rice liao.


MERRY XMAS, HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO.............

wah, dec liao leh

Wah, dec liao leh. So fast 2005 coming to an end liao. wasnt a very fantastic year for me though, so i looking fwd to 2006, hoping things will be better for me.

I used to have this thinking when it comes to special occasions and holidays like X'mas, bdays - always wish someone special will be there beside me. If you have been reading my blog, i did mention this before.

However, the feeling inside me somehow subsides already. So what if there is no one. So what if nobody remember your birthday. So what if you nvr get any present on X'mas. All these are not important any more. Perhaps is because I already got used to being alone all these years. (Alone meaning "single"). I believe if that someone special were to come. she will come someday. Somemore, i still got a bunch of good bros, pals, friends, etc to hang around with. Why care more? The most stay single all the way lor.

Sometimes i wonder izzit becoz I too used to being single. So i seldom take into consideration other people's feelings, not being sensitive, attentive to others. In other words, how to love somebody.

Sometimes, I feel that I live in a world of my own.

Everything that I did, doing now or going to do, I seldom require others' help. Not that i don't need help, its more to I don't like interaction with others. I'm more of a solo-worker. I guess if my boss were to read my blog, he will decide not to hire me anymore.

Two persons, a guy and a girl, getting together, living together. Have you ever wonder how many obstacles they have to overcome before they can finally settle down. Tolerate and understand the other party's way of life, way of thinking. Incorporating the other party in his/her life, as well as yours. 1/2 + 1/2 = 1. Both will be living a life together, not 2 separate lives.

As far as I know and understand myself, at this point of time, i cant. maybe i need someone to guide me along. but as i say before, its not important now.

feeling sick...

dunno y, feeling sick this few days. Have headache, cough and flu.... so sian the feeling. think its partly because i didnt get enuff rest. I still sleep late though I working the next day. think i got to kick this habit.

Somemore, getting old liao, really cannot take this kind of things liao. getting tired more easier liao now i feel. think is also because i never exercise at all. getting fat also, dunno wad to do. feel so lazy, its just so difficult to get myself out to go for a swim or run, although the park is just right beside my blk.

Payday is here

Yeah, got my first offical pay last thursday. However, the pay wasnt anything great to be honest, especially after the CPF deduction. What to do, get some exp 1st then hop to another job bah.

Somemore, i don;t really want to be a developer all my life man, kinda boring you know hehe.

Well well, next week, I will be commercing on the testing stage of the project. That will mean a week of boring stuffs to do and document, since I had got rid of most bugs already. So this testing is actually not needed, but I still got to do it :(

Anyway, my youngest brother's birthday today. Happy 17th birthday "little" bro!! Can you believe my brother is only 17 when he is already 1.95m tall? LOL. Even my dad don't think he is 17 today. He thought he's 19 already haha.

a little pissed..

Got a little pissed this morning. If you have read my blog, last friday I took half day off to attend my friend's ROM, right? I came into office today as usual, put down my bag, went to toilet to put on my tie and prepare myself for a new day of work. And as usual, i made my cup of coffee and sat by my computer, checked my emails and started doing the usual stuff.

Then came the annoying part, which made me rather pissed. Apparently, somebody had made changes to my codes because the web application didn't work as what it supposed to when I left the office on Friday afternoon. This person, whom I suspect is my team leader, didn't even leave a note to tell me what he had done or what I had to follow up to. No, nothing at all!! And even better, he went on leave today. So I had to check which files had been modified and what had been added. Yes, he is the team leader, but at least he got have some common courtesy right. Is it so hard to scribble something on a piece of paper, or on those "Post It!" slips and stick one on my table or what? Moreover, he removed some portions of my codes for don't know what, since some of them were features that he had asked me to include. Stupid right!

Arghh!!! TMD.

Time really flies when you got something to do

Time really flies when you got something to do and I mean real fast. It only seems like yesterday that I last blogged. Here I am again. This week I was allocated part of the application systems that my team is developing, so this is my first hands-on to there inhouse bank applications.

I was given a lot of time to do my part, something like 2 weeks. However, I already finished 95% of it liao this week hahaha. I think I am too "good luck" (hardworking) liao. Finish so fast, next week do what???? But good thing about this job, quite managable and flexible. So long you can finish the allocated task within the given time, you won't have to work til late or what. Somemore no OT pay one, so what for work til so late?

Yesterday attended my army platoon mate's R.O.M. wedding. It was my first time at the R.O.M. at fort canning. Quite a run-down place i feel, lacking some refurnishing. Watching my friend and his wife exchanging vows and putting on rings on each other's finger was quite a nice sight. Feel really happy for them. This also got me thinking when it will be my turn holding my wife-to-be's hands and saying "I do.". Don't think it will be any time soon, since I don't even have a girlfriend. 24 years old liao, not old, but not young either. So what should I do? Dunno also.

Anyway, CONGRATS TO KOK TIONG AND HIS WIFE JOVEE, wish you two "BAI TOU DAO LAO".

New song uploaded

Just uploaded a new song. Jay Chou's Yue Qu. Very nice, hope you will enjoy it too.

What a week..

Firstly, today is my mum's birthday. So I wanna say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM, YOU THE BEST.

woot, what a week. those alternating holidays are really annoying. When can't depavali and hari raya come together one after another. Somehow I feel today is saturday, not thursday. Sian, tmr got to go back work.

Ok lah, thats all.

So fast one week over liao

Its weekend again. The feeling is so good. Finally I know why everyone's always looking forward to weekends. Working is so tiring, though I only work for one week plus. LOL.

The only problem that I have with the job now is that I have to put on a tie. I don;t like that, so troublesome. But other than that, everything's fine. Nice colleagues and boss. Can get over with them quite well.

Well this whole week I have been looking at workflows, program codes, database tables of current systems of the bank. I wrote a little program to try out the multi-tier environment as well. INstead of using ODBC directly, I have to used DLL and COM+ classes.

OK lah, thats all for this week...

Next week, wooolala. Monday work, tuesday holiday, wednesday work, thursday holiday, friday work. TMD, how come the holidays don;t come together one. Fun huh, one day work one day holiday like tat. LOL. OK lah, 3 days to work only, not bad lah. keke

Moving on to the next phase of life....

Been very busy this week. Guess you know why already. I got a job. Hurray!!!! I accepted the bank job and I am now working at a Japanese bank call Mizuho Corp. Bank. First 3 days of the job was ok, kinda boring cause got not much to do. But thats more to come hehe..

Just cut my birthday cake with my family. Yesterday was my birthday, but didnt have time yesterday because I went out with my friends, so celebrated today. Actually also never celebrate what lah. Just blow candle cut cake only.

Sian, my office no internet access, so I guess you wont see me online so often bah.

Banking sector or Medical sector

Havent been blogging for a while because this week is a really busy week. Finally, I know how come I couldnt get a job liao. Its because of the expected salary that I wrote on the job application forms. After going thru so many interviews, roughly I could gauge which co. will hire me and which won't. But when even those you expect them to hire you didnt, means something else liao right.

This week, I went to many interviews, putting in a more "fresh-grad" amount for my expected salary. Guess what, I got 2 job offers. The problem is I dunno which one I should go for. Both co. offer same amount for the pay, and the pay isn't the great amount also. But one is in banking sector and is a 12-mth contract job. the other is a job at Raffles Medical grp, and is a perm pos. Both jobs have similar job scope. So which one should i choose? Some tell me banking sector will be better. Hmmz, quite true also. But medical sector also not bad.

I have to give my response by Monday which is tomorrow. I think most likely i will take on the banking job. Experience is more important that the salary i guess. Somemore what more can i expect as a fresh grad with zero experience? Its a japanese corp bank, so i guess i will be able to get quite a good exp from it.

DSTA vs NCC

The interview last friday at DTSA was a major screw-up.

Why?
- Security screwed up the interviewee lists. Mixed up my NRIC no with other people names, preventing me from going up to the HR depart. on time.
- Stupid interviewers: brainless comments about my education background, say my skills set don't meet their requirement. Interview was less than 15mins. When they ask me if I have any qns, I didnt even bother to ask them anything, not even about the job.

Just wasting my time, I wouldn't want to work with brainless people. Imagine they even asked me why I choose Melbourne Uni and commented that most people would go to Perth to study instead. You can see how stupid these people can be.

However, the interview at NCC was much better. Nice interviewers, and I say the right things and ask the right questions. There was a test before the interview and I could do all of the qns. Hope I can get the job, although there are 3 other applicants as well.

P.S. DSTA's working style is too similar to the SAF, really cannot take it. I guess I chose the wrong org.

Busy, busy and busy

You must be wondering why I am so busy. Some might guess I must have gotten a job. Nah. No job yet.

Just a little update, I heard no news from ST Electronics and NCS. I expected it though, coz my skills didn't match the position in ST Electronics, and I did badly for the test in NCS.

However, I got a call today from DSTA. I going down for an interview this coming Friday. The position I am applying for is Software Development Engineer. Sounds ok to me. Another interview is on next Monday at NCCS. What the hell is NCCS? NCS is National Computer Systems, but NCCS is National Cancer Centre, Singapore. Yesh, I going to SGH for an interview as a Analyst Programmer. Not too bad also.

Well, recently I felt so bored at home that I just got to do something. Guess what, I've been trying to set up a WoW server. For those who dunno, WoW stands for World of Warcraft. There has been several problems though, but I trying hard to solve them.

For those who might be interested, my Game Server webby is http://sgwow.ath.cx:8080

P.S. if the webby is down, try again next time coz my computer might been off !! =)

Need to learn more

Last thursday, I went to NCS for a job interview. I was given a J2EE/Struts test before the interview. I have never heard of Struts before, so I went to do some research the night before. However, the test was terrible. I could not answer any of the 20 qns in the test. I just wrote some stuff so as not to submit a blank paper.

This test really reflects the true nature of the IT industry. IT is everchanging. The Java that I learnt in poly days is no longer the same as the Java today. As a IT professional, I have to be contantly learning and picking up new technologies and skills on my own. Although I was an AD Java student in poly, I do not have the ability to take on Java programming job now.

When I was in Melbourne, I bought a book about JavaServer Pages(JSP). Perhaps it's now time to take the book out and pick up JSP. After all, I have to wait for more interviews to go to, so best to make full of the time and learn more.

Still jobless

Just rejected the job at GeoLogitics because the pay is too low. Moreover, the distance to travel to work is also very far. They are only willing to give me 2k/mth and the place is in Changi. For those who dunno, I live in Yishun. A bit far right.

Yes, I am a fresh graduate, but 2k is just below my expected salary. If I was offered 2.3 or 2.4 I would have taken it already. Just got to wait lor. Anyway, its only september. I give myself another month bah. Hope I can get a job soon.

New song unloaded: Jolin's Tian Kong. Enjoy

2 interviews coming up

I have 2 interviews coming up next week, one on Monday and another on Tuesday. The Monday one is GeoLogistcs and Tuesday one is ST Electronics. This will be the first time going to an interview for a job, so getting a bit nervous. Dunno wad questions they will bombard me. Wish me luck ok. Hehe. Will tell you all when I get the job.

I not wanted :'(

After sending out several emails with my resume attached, no even one has responded. I wonder is it because the market is really so bad, so is it my resume is not good enough. So sian. I feel that my life is like so unlively, so similar everyday. Like wasting time, doing nothing. Haizz...

Job Hunting Time

When I was studying, I was always wishing that time could pass faster and that I could graduated. Now that I have graduated, I am thinking how nice if I can go back to study again. LOL. Contradicting right? Study life is ok so long there is no exams haha =p

Just a few days back, I finally finished editing my CV and sent out a few copies to some companies I saw on the Straits Time Recruit as well as JobsDB.com. So now have to wait for them to call me for interviews. Hope one call soon, its getting really bored at home, not mentioning broke as well. No job = no money =(

Tell you a little bit about my new SPECIAL friend. One day after she broke up with her bf, she msged me early in the morning. "Jason, I have forgiven my bf and you will always be my special friend" was the msg. Haha. Weird isn't it. But I also don't care anymore lah. We are so impossible until I cannot really identify what kind of friendship are we having now. So its best for me to just move on. I admit i still have some feelings for her, but I believe time will make me forget her bah. Or perhaps some girl may just come along and brighten my life once again, although I am really negative about having a relationship right now, having seen so many breakups and problems happening around me. Lets see how it goes lah. ;)

Graduated

Finally after 1.5 years and spending lots of my dad's money, I graduated with a Bachelor of Information Systems in The University of Melbourne last Saturday 13th Aug 2005. I was very anxious to go up to the stage and shake the Chancellor's hand and receive my certification. It was a very long and boring ceremony as all the graduates had to go up one by one to receive their certs. The last lot of graduates were the PhDs graduates where short citations of their research work was read out before they received their cert. That took the longest time. I got kinda bored and restless. However, holding my bach. cert in my hand, nothing can be better than that.

Dad, Mum & Me

Anyway before that, my brother, his gf and me went up to Falls Creek to ski. We had lots of fun and finally I could say I can ski. But I only a beginner lah. Our best accomplishment was when we skiied down the mountain on last day. Aren't we proud of ourselves, hehe. Too bad we had to go, especially when we just started to get a hold of the skis and poles. The only photo of me was the one below. The rest were either scenic or my bro and his gf, because I am the camera man :)

Me at Falls Creek

Skiing is really fun, but its too expensive to do it often. But this time the experience was fantastic. It started to snow when we first reached the Ski resort and it continued to snow throughout our 4 days 3 night stay. The snow was good and fresh. Ideal for skiing. On the 2nd day, it was snowing so heavily and the wind was blowing so strong, causing all lifts to stop for safety reasons and we had to end that day early. The rest of the time, the snow was nice. If I were to have a chance to go skiiing again, that will be great. Perhaps Korea or Japan will be the next ideal destination ;p

Enough of holidaying, I had to start my job hunting. My savings are running low so I had to get a job soon. WIsh me luck =) I thank you in advance first hehe.

What's a special friend?

I been thinking all these few days. What she meant when she say I will always be her special friend?

Somebody said that it might be because she still likes me, but it impossible for us to be together. Quite possible since she and I both agree that we can't click.

Another possiblilty is that I am just someone she can talk, go out with, but just as good good friends and nothing more. Something like a buddy?

She rather break with bf then to lose a special friend like me. Can somebody drop some comments here or at the tagboard about what you think a special friend mean?

All ended.... Part II

Yesterday morning got a sms from her again. Guess wad she said? She broke off with her bf and say i will always be her special friend.

Scary isn't it. A 8mths relationship can end just like that. I asked her if she was sure of ending the relationship because of what happen the other day. She gave 2 reasons. One is the bf dun believe her, the other the bf hurt me.

I asked her if she will be alright. She said she will survive, after all she did when she and I didn't work out the other time. But I was thinking, my relationship with her was never offical, never clear. How come she can just compare it with her 8mths relationship.

I completely dunno wad she is thinking seriously. Her special friend she say i will continue to be? How can a friendship with a special friend be more important than a relationship with a bf?

All ended....

Well, so stupid of me to think that I have some hope in getting together with her again. I always tell people that "Nah I have gotten over her", but in actual fact she still has a place in my heart. Friends who know me know that I not someone who can forget someone whom I like so easily one.

Some time ago last year, she msned or smsed me that she met someone in life. I knew nuts about what she meant. Damn, I was so stupid. She met someone at her cousin's wedding. Someone in life meant a boyfriend. Only y.day I knew, and she has been with him for 8 months already.

This show what a failure I am. Not only that I can't win her heart, I didn't even realise she had someone for so long. Although I got to admit I didn't really see a future in us, I just blindly held on to the tiny winy little hopes that pop up once in a while. I think those reading my post will be laughing like hell. How come Jason is so naive? So stupid?

The funniest thing is that if she didn't tell me herself yesterday, I wouldn't have known at all. If this continues like that, she might even get married and I still dunno that she was attached all along. She might just tell me one day, "Jason, sorry I'm married", like y.day she told me, "Jason, I have a bf".

She told me she like me in a friend way, no longer the romantic way. Had to blame nobody but myself that things gone this way. SOmemore for so long liao. All the time it was only my one sided wishful thinking. How stupid can i get?

Move on, I told myself. f*** if only it's so easy.

Love sucx

Love just sucx big time I feel. Somehow breakups are so common these days.

1. One of my close friend just broke off with his gf just now. They were together for 7 years I think.
2. One of my secondary school friend was suppose to ROM next week. But last min have to cancel everything. Wife-to-be ran off with some other guy. What a BITCH!
3. Another of my close friend r/s with gf seems to be rocky. Initally seems to be a perfect couple.
4. Saw on TV, a sec 3 boy killed himself because gf left him. So stupid!

All these just make me feel that love is so weak. Go steady for years still will break. Married for years still can divorced. What's the point then. Love give more pain than joy?

Back for a week liao...

Time flies, I am back from Melbourne for a week liao. Just went to SIA Cargo Complex to collect the 6 boxes that I had shipped back from Melbourne. Quite troublesome. Got to go to this office, that office, drive here, drive there, change pass and stuff. But paying 250 dollars for 65-70kg of excess baggage, consider not bad liao. So troublesome a bit is ok.

Recently, you would have read or saw the news about NKF's CEO and board drawing too much pay and brainlessly spending money at the company's expense. What the hell is this man? We donate money to those people who need to have their kidney treated, not for people to install gold plated taps and fly first class for family vacation. This is BULL SHIT!!! And how can the ministers not know anything about it? Don't tell me they never visit the NKF's CEO office before? And how come nobody blow the whistle until now? Good job to the SPH journalist for revealing the truth to the public. If not, we will never know that the hard earned money that we donated has actually been going to the wrong pockets !!!!!

Okay, enough of this NKF thing. Now about this girl of mine. I'm suppose to forget all about her. But just now I saw her online on msn, and found out she is at her friend's place. I kinda have an uneasy feeling. The friend is a guy and she been there for a few hours liao. Somemore so late liao. As the matter of fact, she still there at this moment of time. Haizz. I'm just confused whether I really still have feelings for her or not. And likewise does she have any feelings for me at all? I really dunno. She is treating me quite nicely now, but is it only to me, all to other guys also? Dunno. Mebbie, hmmm. nevermind...

Initial D

Just watch Initial D the movie the other day. A very nice movie and They didn't change the story too much from the original Japanese anime. However Jay's acting wasn't too natural, mebbie becoz this is the 1st time he starred as the lead actor. However, he still has the cool cool jay chou attitude which is nice to watch nevertheless.

The song that u are listening to now is one of the theme songs sang by Jay Chou himself, called Yi Ru Xiang Bei. Very nice. Hope you like it too.

Home sweet home

Hurry, finally I'm back in Singapore again. Looking fwd to do some catching with my family and friends. The feeling is great.

Although the weather is very hot when compared with Melbourne, but nothing beats being with my family and friends.

One more important thing is that I can go get the food that I have been missing for 4 months. On the other hand, I don't have to cook any more, HURRAY !!!!

Another happy thing is that I passed all my exams and out of the 4 subjects, 3 got distinctions. Really happy that I was able to finish up so nicely. =)

Think I will relax for a while then start to find jobs in august.

Stupid Jetta Express

This morning the people from Jetta Express were supposed to come and pick up my boxes that I wanted to ship back home. But nobody came, so I ringed up their office. The guy who answered the phone said that they didn't receive the email from me. Well, I submitted the request through the website and the site shown me a "request sent" confirmation page. Now they say they didn't receive the email. How am I suppose to know they are suppose to receive an email. Stupid guy.

Anyway, I had no choice but to make a booking for tomorrow instead and the guy promised me the earliest time slot. Lucky, I wasn't going home today. If not, I dunno how am I going to do with my boxes. I purposely stayed up late last night to finish up with all the packing. Damn, now the boxes are still lying in my apartment.

Well, can't wait for tomorrow man. Home sweet home soon =)

So tired and boring....

After packing for a few days, I finally packed finished all the stuff that im going to ship back. You know what. I shipping a total of 6 boxes with a total weight of 71 kgs !!! I wonder if I should just throw away somethings or what...

Anyway very tired. Tml the shipping people coming over to pick up the boxes. Hope they come early so that I can get rid of the boxes earlier. K lah, tired and dowan blog liao.

Winter cleaning....

I guess you all should know what is spring cleaning right. Have you heard of winter cleaning before? That's what I'm doing now. Its winter here in melbourne and I'm cleaning and packing my stuff. Just threw away lots of things like sauces, useless bottles, and things that are lying around the kitchen and in the fridge. Think I will start packing my clothes into the luggage bag now after I finish with this blog. Hmmm... Will it be too early? I still have 4-5 days more. Hmm..

Anyway, yesterday night I met up with my poly friend who is studying in UNSW. He came over with a couple of friends for a holiday. We went to a chocolate cafe call Koko Black to drink hot chocolate. It taste a bit like thick milo though, haha. But on the whole still not bad. After that, they went over to my place to use the internet to check emails and stuff.

Today, I went to the city to get a replacement bulb for my ceiling lamp. The stupid lamp purposely choose this time when I am about to move out to blow out. I end up buying a bottle of soft drink and some pork ribs too. Guess what? I had bak ku teh for dinner just now. Yummuy yum yum heehee.

I guess tomorrow I will stay at home and rot. =p

7 days = 1 week

Today is my friend Rachel's turn to fly home. How come it seems to take so long before its my turn. Haha, I have exactly 7 days left.

Actually wanted to go to the city to buy somethings but it was raining cats and dogs. So decided to stay at home instead. Play game for a while then continue to do some packing and cleaning.

Packed one box full of textbooks and mags and you know what? It weighted 41kg although it's only a small box. Wow!

Cannot pack any more things since I'm still using some of them, so decided to clean the microwave. I always feel weary when I think of cleaning that because I didnt clean it for a long time haha. On the other hand, there was once when I was heating up a bowl of curry, the curry "exploded" thus making a mess inside the microwave. Had a tough time cleaning it up. Haha. Serve me right. Anyway, glad that it's cleaned now.

I guess the program for tomorrow will be shopping for things that my dad asked me to buy, as well as buying some easy-to-cook food for the remaining days here. And 100% not microwavable food since I just cleaned the stupid microwave. =)

Grampians National Park

Yesterday, I went to the Grampians National Park in Victoria, Australia. Takes about 4.5 hours to get from Melbourne city to the park. The scenery was fantastic. There were mountains, lakes, cliffs and many more. We went to the famous Jaw of Death and I even had a photo taken of me on the "Jaw". It looked frightening at first because the "Jaw" was quite narrow, so if somebody was to fall from there, he/she would most likely be dead. But when I got onto it, it doesn't look that scary. But due to the bright sunlight, the picture didn't look as good as it is. Can't really see my face clearly.

Me on Jaws of Death

We also went to the MacKenzie Falls. Going down to the base of the waterfall was easy, but climbing was tiring. Couldn't remember how many steps of stairs did we climb to get back to the top. But it was worth it, because the waterfall was great.

MacKenzie Falls

The trip was fun.... and tiring as well, with so many hours of continuous driving. But it is always great to be able to experience the beauty of mother nature. The driving experience was good too, although I almost knocked into a kangeroo as it was hopping across the road =p Never will I be able to do that in Singapore (I mean the driving ok! I love kangeroos =D)

My friends & me

Farewell, my friend

Later today, my friend Siuniang will board the plane home. So wish her have a safe and enjoyable trip home. Maybe we can meet up in Singapore for dinner or something before she comes back?

For me, I still have 11 days before its my turn to go home. A bit late though and not sure what to do during these 11 days. Hmm, I booked my flight on such a late date mainly because my accomodation contract ends late. But actually I can leave earlier. Well, nevermind hehe. More days to enjoy the cool Melbourne winter then. =)

Finally, exams all over.

Hurray, had my last paper today. Not more exams for me, hehe.

On the other hand, countdown 2 weeks before i go back SG. YEAH!!!

However, today's paper was tough. Hope I won't do too bad for it. Most importantly is must PASS.

Can start to pack my things to go home liao, as well as cleaning up the apartment that I have been staying.. Argghh... But nevermind, soon I be home... =)

Missing one piece

Life is just like a jigsaw puzzle. Family, friends and everything that ever happen make up the pieces of life. Somehow, you just can't find some pieces to complete the puzzle.

Those pieces are held by the ones you yet to find. You have to find them in order to complete the puzzle. However, you have to find those that fits. That's why is not that easy. So where can I have my missing pieces of jigsaw?

Especially the piece in the centre, the love of my life. Hmm, maybe i can find it in the jigsaw shop? hehe.

Alright, last paper to go. Wish me luck =)

One more day

My 2nd last paper

Soon I be taking my 2nd last paper. Wish me luck haha. But you must be thinking how come I have the time to blog? Heehee.. Just too bored to keep studying.

I don't know why. Recently, I been thinking of her again. Been having thoughts of being back home with family and friends, but in addition to that, she is there too. I wonder why. Is it because she still have a place in my heart somewhere? I don't know. But I really hope to get over it, which I believe I had. Then what is this strange feeling then? Hmm...

first exam over

finally, my exams started and first paper is over. And you know what? I feeling better already. Feeling down because of some issues with a Swedish asshole yesterday, but what the heck, why should i care more. I feel so stupid.

Anyway, all is fine now, and i looking forward to my 2nd paper which is also my 2nd last paper which is on monday. Wah, so many "which is". (cold joke) so dun luff.

Anyway, I guess i take a break today and continue mugging my books tomorrow. Off to the libray again I guess =). Soon I can apply for library-PRship oreadi.

easily affected by others

Why I have such reactions is also due to the fact that I get affected by others easily. I cared too much about how people think and say about me.

When someone accuses me of something that I feels it not true, or say something that I don't like, I simply lose focus of what I am suppose to do. Instead, I would keep thinking about it. Imaginations run wild and just keep running, just couldn't stop.

Damn, I need to focus on my exams now. Got a paper tomorrow. Wish me luck =)

The negative "me"

I can't help but wonder what's happening to me. I became a quick-tempered and highly aggressive person. I would get angry over things that people say or do, even little things. You can also describe this as being petty, I suppose.

You can see this side of me from the way I react to situations, in which things someone have said or done, have annoyed me. And because of that, I reacted back in a negative way or behavior. Impatient is another factor too. Not willing to give in to others is another.

Reacting negatively in such situation somehow portray the same kind of behavior that of the other party who has annoyed you. Thus, this reactions from me will sometimes annoy others as well, making others' lives difficult. In this case, I became the devil as well, isn't it.

What happen to the "easy come, easy go" and "don't worry, be happy" me?

Clubbing during exams period

Haha, I guess some of you must be surprise to see the title of this post. Yes, I went clubbing last nite haha. Actually, I just wanted to have dinner with Darren, my friend from poly. He came here for holiday, and he leaving tonight, so I thought it will be nice to meet up with him.

I SMSed him that perhaps we can have dinner at Chinatown at 6.30pm but instead he asked me if I wanted to go clubbing or not. Haha, thinking a while, oh, what the heck, just go lah. So I told me okay. We had dinner first then went to a club called Amber.

I'm not a party animal or what, so I don't frequent clubs. In fact this was my 3rd time clubbing in Australia, haha. But the music was great, and surprisely lots of asians were there. And YES, many pretty babes. There was a variety of girls: Caucasians, Aussies, Hong Kees, Indos. Wow, it was quite a feast for the eyes.

My friends went to dance with some of them, but I'm a shy guy, so most of the time I just stand around watching or dancing with other friends.

Oh well, enough of pre-exam celebration stuff, time to spend some time on my notes and stuff. Can't really keep focus on my revision, hmm thats why I here writting all this stuff, hahaha. Well, think it's time to pay the library a visit tomorrow..

First paper, Advanced Database Concepts this coming friday the 17th. Wish me luck =)

Countdown one month

In one month time at this hour, I should be on the plane otw back home. Hurray!! =)
Exams coming liao, haven really been studying. Think I will start tomorrow, hehe.

I dunno if you guys still remember "her". She SMSed me just now, and I replied back. Haven tok to her for a long time. Her computer was down with virus and so she couldn't get online. But I doubt we will talk much also if she was online.

She told me she changing job next month, and she seems to be happy about it. She's doing sales next, and its a tough job but I know she always like her job to be challenging. Wish her all the best and "soon soon lee lee" bah..

Happy birthday Xiao Lao Shu

Firstly, wana say happy 21st birthday to dear siuniang aka xiao lao shu. Wish her all best in wadever she do and also good luck for her exams as exams are just around the corner. Stay pretty and cheerful always. Remember birthdays are not to remind you that you are older, its all about getting more mature and grown up. Congrats, siuniang =) Haha, a naughty add-on is that you can watch R(A) movies liao. =D

Hmm, my 21st birthday seems to be so long ago, haha. I remember I was on army standby on my birthday. Luckly, I was not activiated. If not, it would have ended up with a birthday party without the birthday boy, or should i say guy.. haha. My army friends were with me at the party. So, I joked with them that if we all get activiated, at least can share cab back to camp, not all is bad, haha. But phew, all was good =) I guess i won't have any more birthday parties until i'm 50 years or wad. hehe.

*poof* gone....

Well well, if you like my previous blog design, sad to say it's gone.

Why? I want to know too. I just submited one post, and *poof* its gone. Somehow, my blog template got screwed up. Half of the html codes were gone and all I see is a black site.

Well, I like the previous blog because, I think its simple and neat. But well... I guess its a sign to tell me to make some changes. How can one live the same life all the time right. We don't read the same book, watch the same teebee program all the time too.

Ok, feel free to comment on this new design layout. Thanks =)

Starwars Esp 3 in Hokkien n Singlish

My friend send me a link to this blog entry about Starwars Esp3, but the thing is it is in Hokkien and Singlish. Obviously, this person must be a crappy singaporean guy with nothing better to do then to write this. Haha, but its damn farnie, especially if you know Hokkien. Go ahead and read and luff...

Here the link. Click here

Industrial Project Finale

This picture was taken on the day of our team's final presentation as well as the day we signed off with our client on the completion of the project. Don't we look good =)

Finally.....

Finally, the semester is over. The worst semester I had this time. Practically no time to do anything. Everyday is like doing project. Phew, glad it's all over now and I SURVIVED !!!! If you see my display pic on the right, you can see me in the suit with a cute little tie. Am I smart looking or not? Hehe, if you say smart looking, its due to the nice suit and tie I guess. If you say "YOU LOOK CRAP!!!", I thank you for speaking the truth. Hehe.. I wore this for my final presentation for my Industrial Project. All went well, and it also marks the end of my school days for maybe the next few years I suppose.

Now, what's left is the last 3 papers next month. Hope I pass all of them... There's one that I dreaded most. It's called Organisational Analysis & Change. Before I came here to study, I always wanted to be a consultant or something. But from this subj, I learnt that it's a tough job. Studying and analysing human behaviours and also the technical aspects. Analysing human behaviours is normally psychologists' job and technology planning might be business analyst or technical experts' job. But as a Information Systems(IS) consultant, you have to do both. Sounds like superman's job to me, haha.. So I have to rethink what I really want to be.

I know I'm stronger in technical stuff such as programming but I don't really want to persue such a career. Hmmm, lets leave it for now.

My first paper is on the 17th. Still have like 3 weeks to study which is kinda boring. I rather the exams be next week or something. Then I can go home earlier, rather than staying here. I'm not the kind of person who can study and study everyday til the day of the exam. Mostly likely I will start like 1 week before the exams. Haahaa... Study for exams is torture. I rather not torture myself so much. On the other hand, my brain can only store things for a while, so studying way beforehand is quite useless.

And finally, a new song for you guys and girls to enjoy... Another Jay's songs....

The Beauty of Snow

When I heard over the radio that snow might start falling on the alps around Melbourne tonight, I can't help but imagine how beautiful the sight will be.

I seen snow once in Hokkiado when my family and I went there for holiday for a week. Its really beautiful to see the snow falling from the sky. Its like lots and lots of cotton wool falling from "god knows where". The weather was cold then, around -5 degrees. How I wish someone special was there to experience that moment with me. Imagine out in the cold, with some one to cling on to, some one to cuddle together for warmth, some one to have dinner and red wine, some one who I love just sitting beside me, some one who I can whisper sweet words to, some one who bring warmth to my heart even in the cold cold weather.

This thought often occur to me when the night is cold here in Melbourne, and I am all alone in my apartment with nothing to do, somebody to talk to. How I wish someone was here with me. But who? There's nobody really. I don't have the slightest idea who the person might be. Maybe god knows, but I really don't know.

Just some thoughts.

just one more week

Yuppee yeah yeah.. Exactly 7 more days I be free as a bird. Then I only have my exams to worry about. Things are going well for now. Just looking forward to the final presentation of my Industrial Project on Friday morning. Then everything will be offically over.

Now only left reports to amend and finish up, which is something that I really don't like. But got no choice. Reports and documentations are always part of everything. Looks like I just have to live with it.

Time fly faster please.. I'm going home soon......

half way there

So far, I have submitted 2 assignments, one on Monday and one yesterday and done a assignment demo today. I finished 75% of another assignment yesterday and have 25% to finish up before end of next week. So should be ok.

Now all left is the final presentation, final report and project poster of the industrial project. So I can say, I am half way there. Half way to finishing my school. Then no more school for the next few years or so. Who knows, I may not be studying again.

Why? Because study is boring, especially exams. Why can't we just study and do assignments and not have exams. haha. People always say exams is a good way to assess what we have learnt. But doesn;t really work for me, because I always forget all the things I had learnt after the exams. haha.

anyway, yeah. another 1.5 weeks and I be done... woo, simply cant wait.

the same old post

Well, recently my posts are all about sian, work and lots of "dunno what to do". Kinda of boring to read right. I'm bored writing about those too.

So why don't I tell you what I did today? I woke up around 1pm in the afternoon, had my lunch and sat in front of my laptop. I was supposed to go to school to do an assignment, but I got news from my friend that no computers are available to use, so I stayed home instead.

So what did I do? I checked and test my assignment. Everything seems ok so I zipped it up and email it for submission. Next, hmm... hmmm... What did I do after that? Oh, I think I felt hungry and went to cook dinner. Curry pork, long time didn't make this. I think I added too much salt, the curry taste a bit salty. Nevertheless, it's still delicious.

After that, I watched Star Wars Esp 2: The Attack of the Clones. Nice show, even though I watched it before in cinema. Esp 3 will be out soon in cinemas, so I hope I can catch it in the cinemas.. Wonder if I have the time...

Did my laundry too. I just threw the clothes in the washing machine. 15mins to go before I go downstairs again to transfer the clothes to the dryer..

And now I am blogging.. SO JUST WHAT DID I DO TODAY? CRAP... I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT, but its so obvious... NOTHING.....

So, I guess I better try to do something now...

sianz

so sianz, seems like there is so many thing waiting for me to go and do, but i just never go do.

everyday, like dunno doing what. dunno what i blogging now also. everything dunno.. tired..

anyway, the song that you are listening to now is Jay Chou's new song. My brother told me so when he send me. Well, if you listen to it the 1st time, u may not like it. but I think it is nice, but i think this song might be recorded from radio or something. quality not so good.

but still, i hope you enjoying listening as much as i enjoy listening to it too.

stressed....

Stress ah, stress... I just felt that there is so many things to do at the same time, but I just cannot focus on which or what to do first. How I wish I can multi-task....

My exams time-table is out. I be having my papers on 17th, 20th and 23rd June. Kinda of late, but its not too bad. At least, there is a 2 days break between the each paper. The most dreaded paper is the last paper, because it has a history of high failure rates. Stressed... I cannot afford to fail. So I have to put my best foot, feet, body and whatever forward to pass these last 3 exams. Then I be free as a bird... Can't wait for that day. Soon soon, it will come.

No time to write more, tata...

Countdown to End of School.......

It's the month of May!! Woah, I can't believe my eyes. One more month of school and I'm done. Hehe.. However last 4 weeks includes submission of assignments, reports and projects. I guess I will be busy like hell... Arghhh....

I just feel there is so many things to do, so little time. There is so many things to do in one day, sometimes I wish we have more than 24hrs to do stuff.

Finally, I had a Sunday, resting at home, just playing games and watching tv. I was supposed to do my assignment, but just don't have the mood to do it yet.

And guess what, I received a letter from my apartment management telling me the things I have to do before I move out. For example, what places to clean, what things I have to do and stuff. I kinda look forward to it, not that I like it, but maybe because when I start doing all these tasks means I going home soon. Hurray, I can't wait to go home. Bored of my current phase of life. I want to move on and try something new.

OK. Thats all for now... Tata..

ok, some update about her

Well this happen sometime back already, just that i was busy, so I mention anything.

Well, she say it herself: "bottom line is we can onli be veri gd frens". This are her actual words i copied from the history of the conversation we had. My reply was "are we even good friends in the 1st place. good friends have lot of things to share and talk about" and she reply "i treat u as 1 it's jus tat im busy tat's all".

Well... I really dunno what to say. Does she really treat me as a good friend? I doubt so. Maybe different people got different views of what a good friend is. But to me, is she even a normal friend? We can't seem to even talk about general things. We are more like strangers..

And that night, I had a long talk with her. I told her straight about her attitude towards working with people thats why she has so many problems. Her blunt remarks and comments often hurt people, but she does not realise it. Not everyone can accept her being so straight-forward. I told her she got to learn to think before she say anything bad to people and try to put herself in other people shoes. She seems to accept what I say for once and say she will try. "till u see the new mi k" was what said. I hope she changed for the better.

From all these, I guess we are truly over liao. No regrets, no sadness. Just relief. Hope one day I can talk to her as a friend, not like a stranger.

Busy busy busy busy

Been a busy week for me this week. Let me describe to you what I do everyday.

1. Wake up around 10 or 11am.
2. Eat breakfast or brunch
3. Go to school.
4. Come back, continue to do my ASP.NET coding.
5. Eat dinner.
6. Go back to coding.
7. Bathe
8. Sleep around 3-4am.

After 2 weeks, of intensive coding, debugging and testing, my part of the industrial project is almost done. What make me really happy is when we show the application to the client and she is very happy with it. At last, I have done a program that somebody is really going to use, unlike those stupid project assignment where you do just to get the grades and dump them aside after that.

Two more happy things that happen this week is that I got full marks for the "take home" exam for one of my subjects and I got 8/10 for my last journal which is the best mark I got so far. I was quite surprised when I saw the marks. I thought I might get some crappy grades again like my first 2 journals.

Next week will be week 8. Wow, time flies. 5 more weeks before school ends. Can't wait for that to happen man. Thats all for this week.

Busy week

To tell you the truth, I shouldn't be here blogging because I have my last journal to write. It's due later today. Got back my journal marks for last week. Boohoohoo, 6.5/10 only, and I thought my that journal was ok. Haizz.. Ahya, forget it lah. Just finish this last one and ok liao.

Never blog much because I was busy doing ASP.NET programming for my industrial. Everyday do until 3-4am then sleep. So tired leh. But, thats my way of doing programming. If part of the code is not working properly or some ideas just pop up in my mind, then I will try to do until all ok. Programming has always been interesting to me. As the matter of fact, I can only score in that.

But I don't intend to work as a programmer coz a bit no life and stressful, so that's why I take up Information Systems. Although some things of IS is damn boring, I believe I didnt make the wrong choice. I think the prospects for IS graduates are still quite ok bah.

Once again, my industrial project team member disappoint me again. At first, I thought he is a person who keep his words and do what he say he will do, but only slower in completing lah. But I realise its not the case. He not even putting effort in doing his part. Damn him. Always say "Ok, I will finish this part by this week. Shouldn't be a problem." Yeah, today is Saturday, so what has he come out with? Ahya, dunno lah...

Ok, i got to go back and do my stuff. Will blog again next week... :)

......

Problems.......
Problems, problems with the project again. Things just not going according to plan. Now is our acadamic week 5. We have to finish by Week 10 or 11 which is like 5 or 6 weeks more?? And we haven't really start on development yet. I really dunno how the current problem can be solved leh.

Lousy day....
Lousy day today because, I can't finish a practical today because the tutor simply has no time for all of us and I have to rush to another lesson. So I left without showing the tutor my work. Its like not attending the lab at all when you do that. So I was kind of angry and fustrated. Somehow, I was affected by the practical that I didnt finish, I feel so lost in the next lesson which is a tutorial. Also partly because I never do my readings lah. hahaha.

Journals... arghh..
Just finished doing an assignment. But still got one more journal to write. Damn, I hate journals. Its due on Friday. I guess i shall leave it til tomorrow to do bah.

What's does she want?
Guess what, I received a fwded msg from her again. This time is a gdnite msg. What exactly does she want from me? I didnt reply to her msgs, doesnt she get the idea? Why does she have to remind me of her again. She thinks I not vex enough with all the things that is happening here izzit. Why should I get so work up over a "fwded msg". I should listen to my friend's advice. Just delete all the msgs she sent. But ... Haizz... I really dunno what to say liao.. I thinks that all...

My buddy's wedding day

Today is my buddy Liting's big day. She's getting married, or shld I say already married liao since now is like 9+ in liao in singapore. Feel so happy for her. Wish her and her husband CK a blissful marriage. Hope she enjoyed herself tonight also. She was so tired from all the preparation and stuff.

Getting married is really a tiring thing, isnt it. I cant imagine myself getting married at all. Mebbie i shld try to get a gf 1st. haha =p Honestly speaking, i cant even imagine myself attached. Who will want a guy like me. Boring and not good looking guy, that's me!!

Ok, easter holidays are almost over in 40+ mins or so. Didn't really enjoy myself though, coz i was home most of the time. Seriously, I dunno what I did this past week. The memories I had seems so vague, almost none. But, I remember clearly that it was boring, so I cant wait to go back to school again. At least time passes faster when I'm at school.

Have to go wash my clothes now, so that's all for today. Oh, one more thing, hurray! It's April! Happy belated April Fool's Day everyone!!! Wahahaha =D.

sleepless night

well, didnt expect myself to blog again so soon. haha. Well, I found it quite interesting to read the posts I make in the past. Somehow, they bring back memories to me.

Why sleepless night? Well, last night some jokers make so much noise downstairs with their talking and laughing which keep me awake til 5am in the morning. I really feel like shouting at them but I in the end I didn't. But I did make a complaint just now to the management here. Not much help though, but I was told I can approach the caretaker here for help if this thing happens again. Haizz.. Feel so damn tired. I think I fell asleep around 5.30am and woke up around 12pm. Just couldn't sleep anymore.

Ok, one more thing. I receive a fwded sms from her again. I didn't mention this yesterday. On the sunday morning that just past, i got a fwded sms from her. And this morning again. Make me wonder what she is thinking. You can say I might be thinking too much. I hope so. I didnt reply her this time. Its a fwded sms anyway. Not words that she thought of herself.

Tomorrow morning I have to go down to the client place with the rest of the project team to start some development of our project. I hope everyone turns up and that we can kickstart on some development things I hope.

Warm day today. Had to have the fan on all day. It will be even warmer tomorrow and friday. Thats all for today I guess.

First post of the year

Well well, I guess you guys miss me, I hoped. =p Somehow, I lost the purpose of blogging anymore. Firstly because I don't have much to say and secondly I am too engross in my online game. Haha.

But I think I will TRY to update a little once in a while. Just hope someone does come in and tag a few notes or something. At least I know someone does visit my blog. hehe. Thx in advance.

Things wasn't exactly good for me. It's the year of the rooster - my year. So i expected it. I "fan" the "tai shui" god, so I have to be careful of the things I do.

Firstly, maybe I talk abit about BGR stuff. I guess you people know this common phase, Man are from Mars, Woman are from Venus. I think "she" is from Saturn or somewhere else. Maybe you guys will say "Hey, Jason. That's so bad of you!!!" But its true, we just don't link at all. During my summer break, I was back in Singapore since X'mas'04 to CNY'05, we only met up a few times, countable with just one hand. I just feel I don't really want to meet her. I dunno about her, but I m really tired of this entire thing. Not entirely her fault, I guess its my fault too. We are just not meant-to-be I guess. So this time, I decided that I will let go of this entire thing and just see how it goes. I hope I can do it. Wish me good luck people. Thx =)

Secondly, I talk my school stuff so far. This semester is the last semester for me. Not too bad I guess. 4 subjects, 3 examable. One is a semester-long industrial project. It;s suppose to be quite fun as we have a real client and stuff. But to be honest, we didnt really get the project that we wanted. Hmmm.. at least that's what I think. And on the other hand, I didnt really get good and "cooperatable"(does it word exists??) team mates. I have a wonderful project manager but what really make a team work well requires all team mates to work together as a team. Well, 4 weeks has passed. I hope we can work better in the next 8 weeks or so. Crossed my fingers =) Other then that, the rest are still quite manageable I guess =) Sooooonnn, I will graduate. Can't wait to go home....

Lastly, maybe I talk about the life here recently. If you guys dunno, I having one week of easter break now. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!! Though, I think its a little late. hhehe. Life here is still same, boring and boring.. haha.. Quite no life, things are ex, so stay at home most of the time. Either play game, or chat with people, or do school stuff(sometimes). hehehe... Lucky, I still have a few friends like Rachel, Siuniang and company to go out and have dinner or shopping and other stuff.. Recently, another girl from Singapore joined our group. Her name is Leona. She's a friend of Rachel's friend. QUite a cute girl, and fun to have around. Ok, think I stop here for now so I can write other things some other time, if not I willn't have anything to say next time. hehehe. Below is a foto of us taken during a surprise birthday dinner for Leona.



Til the next time, take care.......
