Mid term break is here!!!

2 months in Canberra, 7 weeks of academic weeks and here comes the arrival of the mid term break. Looking back, time passes real fast when you are occupied by tons of assignments and tutorials. Time passes so fast that at times I would wish for the world to pause itself for a moment so that I can catch a breathe.

This 2 months has really changed my life, never felt that I really need to be so independent before not even the experiences in China can be compared to this. I guess it attributes to cooking. If I don't cook, I will have to starve and eating out for most meals is not a option because of the price. However, I'm still loving it. The experiences of making new friends from all over the world, making your own food, doing your own laundry and tidying up your own room. These are things that I get satisfaction from after doing it.

Now that mid term break is here, its time to let loose to replenish the battery in me. Brisbane, here I come!!!

Say HI to a change

Presenting to you is a change to the layout of my low low low activity blog. It's been a while since I last meddled with html codings as I got say that for IT, you really have to keep up with out.

While trying to get the new layout in, I realised tat there is so much changes to the blogging world. There is now the widgets and many other applications that you can use to "decorate" the blog. I've also changed the tagboard.

I've replaced it with a tagboard that has no pop-ups. Pop-ups in my opinion are really annoying.

"If not now then, when?" I must say that this is indeed a very powerful and motivational phase. Never fails to hold me back to ponder for a while whenever I see this phase. But there is no point just pondering about things I want to do, action speaks louder than words.

Knowing yourself is important and right now I just hope that everything will just go right and the way I like it to be although I know that it is not really possible.

After a 3 year long delay of learning the class 2b, i finally went back to the driving center to pick up riding again. Luckily wad was taught and practised back then had not got into total waste. Still managed to get back into the form since i last stopped after a while of practise. Glad to see one of my friend there. At least attending lessons is not that boring. Still can joke and chit chat in the circuit whenever we stop at the stop line. Seems like everytime i enroll into the 2B course, there will be people i know taking the course as well.

Looking back, times really flies. Seems to me that my last riding lesson was not that long ago also but in reality its already 3 years. How many more 3 or 5 or 10 years do we have to achieve what we want. Once the opportunity is here grab it before its too late. At least you know you tried then never.

was driving back home from camp and at the stretch of highway which is just before my exit I got kinda agitated coz of a vehicle road hogging the second lane, going at only 70

*PAUSE*
*DELAY IN ENTRY DUE TO RECALL EXERCISE*
*CONTINUE*

when the speed limit is 90. Initally wanted to overtake the slow vehicle but taking into consideration that i gotta exit soon, i 忍 and travel slowly behind the slow car. And just before the exit stationed a speed trap.

Phew..... who knows what might happen without the slow car.
Time and space i must say and i thank the car for being slow.
And a thought struck me in the mind which is that something is there for a reason.

opps, its another interval of 5mths since i last posted something onto this blog.

Sometimes i feel that this world is really really small and full of unexpected events. one good example is that I've never expected to bum into one of my colleague in the company i was attached to when i was doing my overseas attachment. Then one fine day when i went to a petrol station to pump air for the tires, appeared a unfamilar yet familar figure. He called up my name and i immediately recalled who he is. Had a short conversation with him and found out that he his now back in town and not going back anymore. After the conversation, while in the car, i just felt good to have catch up with a someone i've never expected to meet anymore.

If you lose it, find it.
If you cannot find it, change it.

Today is the fifth day of my MC and i'm finally feeling better. Its just sux to be sick especially when the termperature is moving so drastically. At one moment its normal at 37.3 than the next moment it will shoot up to 39.7. Really scare the hell out of me duno whether my brain will be burnt as a result or not.

Perhaps its a blessing in disguise to fall sick also. Maybe due to the hectic life that i'm having for the past few months which results in very little rest for myself, the flag is finally raised by my body to have a goooooooooooood rest.

Over the past few days, apart frm "body maintenance"(lol, our term for sleeping) i've being researching for the next backpacking destination. Have marked out a few destinations and still deciding which place to go guess will only decide when the date is getting near since i'm such a last min person.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

it was the right time at the right place but i still missed it............................... how could i..................................

haha, my first post for the year 2009. as usual normally i would have alot of things in mind to blog about but when i'm finally ready to post, i cant think of much stuffs to blog about anymore. haizzzz.

CNY is approaching in 2wks time but to me, i still cant feel the CNY atmosphere unlike when i was a kid, i was so looking forward to it even though its still a few weeks away.

went to the national stadium to catch the match between singapore and vietnam. the match is so disappointing despite the strong crowd cheering for singapore. so many gd chances wasted..... and singapore lost to vietnam 1-0. but anyway its probably the last soccer game to be played in the national stadium although its has been reported upteen times that the national stadium would be demolised.

was driving back towards home jus now and in punggol, i took a glance into the rear view mirror and was stunned to see 2 police cars with their blinkers on behind mi. tot tat they were chasing me...... luckily its not. they jus drove pass me. maybe rushing to somewhere else. but it realli scares the hell out of mi when i'm the only car on the road and there is 2 police car behind u with the blinkers on.

yupz, leave has being confirmed and shall be going for a holidae trip during the cny break. tis holidae will be a sweeter and well deserved holidae coz every expenses would be borne by myself.

its not about being different. its about adding meaning to it.

its only when you lose it then you will start to cherish it.

i will remember this phrase throughly inside my head.

got high fever and booked out in the middle of the night to go home. was given attend C status for 3 days. luckily dad and mum came down to fetch mi back if not i think i would have to pay $50 for cab fare liaoz. no joke to fall sick, the feeling is jus so terrible. few guys came out to mi and envy at my super long break but deep in my heart, i rather stay fit and healthy to continue training rather den to fall sick and rest at home.

training pace is gradually increasing and its also a sign tat more extras is coming in if i'm not careful. but wad to do, extra is part and parcel of ns.

realli gotta take care of myself esp during weekends where i spent so much time outside and not resting.

1 mth has passed and 8 more months to go. i look forward to june 2009.

In our line of work, there is no such thing as sorry.....

wootz, almost 2 mths nv blog alreadi.

down with flu and cough and sore throat tis wk..... and the feeling is terrible when i wake up everyday..... realli gotta fully recover before field camp next week if not i've gotta suffer le......

booked out todae and straight away came back home. checked my email and glance at the winners for the singapore computer sockiety membership lucky draw. started looked at the 50 consolation winners. as usual my name is not there as i've never won any lucky draws before. den i started to scroll up and was stunned to see my name in the 1st prize column. thought that maybe it was some other person and i looked at the school which is np. so stunned again to see myself winning a 1st prize lucky draw. The prize is Microsoft office 2007 Ultimate. dunno wad to do with it also.

Gotta book in tml nite, time flies when u r outside camp.

I've graduated frm NGEE ANN!!!!! attended graduation yesterdae. hmm met up wif frens tat i've not met up at all since our last exam paper has ended. but the kind of feeling is jus still so awesome. no akwardness and there is simply jus so much things to talk about. a pity tat everything is so rush.

reached sch exactly at 3 and they wants us to be prepared to enter the convention center already. no time to look into the mirror at all. worst, the top 2 button2 frm my graduation gown is so loose and is jus kept falling of frm its hooks which is kinda annoying to me.

After the graduation while driving out of school and for the 1st time i've experienced a jam in ngee ann frm the convention center to the main gate, i've got a mixed feeling. Happy coz i've managed to complete the course and receive the diploma and also at the same time, missing alot of things as well, the good times spent wif friends in the campus, rushing for assignments etc etc and also many other things.

Enjoy the process and reap on the results. i guess i realli enjoyed the process. :)
Dear friends, who are are reading this. As per agreement, our friendships will not stop on our graduation day. It will goes on forever to be as good as it is. and we will see one another on my birthday celebration.

In exactly a month's time, gonna be in tekong already. time seems to pass faster as it is appraching my enlistment date..... not much time left to enjoy anymore....

today's working environment is nice. after the heavy rain in the morning, the entire island is so cooling and its just feel so nice to drive in the island in tis weather. Lost touch wif manual car for quite sometime already but luckily i'm still quite smooth in operating the manual car. the worries of engine stalling and car rolling back is redundant. lolx.....

As for the KL trip, have yet to upload the pics. Guess i gonna upload it over the next few days.
