Short of cash these days and luckily wenbin came to my rescue with a part-time job that can be done at home. Thanks wenbin (that is if u managed to find my blog).
So other than working full time in the day, my free time will be spent translating texts to earn some spare income. A good way to improve my english and chinese. hurray.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, my new job is about doing translation for japanese animes. Lol. so fun.
work is so stressful. I seriously need to go out and get a break.

Yesterday night was an eye-opener. I was invited to attend a traditional indian wedding at a temple, and I must thank thuva for it. I didn't expect the haven study group to remain in contact for this long, but it did. It's great to have good friends like these, friends you know who will be there when you're down and share your joys.
I thank everyone for making my life so special and unique. It's great to be in the company of friends.
Just came back from sembawang park, where I went kite flying with family. My uncle managed to make the kite fly so high that it became the centre of attraction. Lol. What a fun day!
Hmm.. I'm too crazy these days.

jour de salaire.
After slogging for the past 2 weeks, it's pay day. Somehow I find it weird to receive my pay fornightly instead of monthly. They said it's to allow those that are cash-strapped to be able to survive with this pay advance before the month comes. A good idea I supposed.
It's been almost a month since my french course ended, but I'm still considering whether to continue with the intermediate level. But the poor image portrayed by the school made me think otherwise. What if I have to wait for another month before I can get my cert again?
Nothing much to blog about. Basically because I haven't been out with friends since I ord. So anyone free can ask me out, though I'm practically booked by my work from mon to sat.
tag-board been very very inactive. where's everyone?

Time passes extremely fast when you're working OT everyday.
my life = work.
Nothing much to discuss here, lest you all want to hear boring stories about work and such. I shall skip the redundant details. Basically there's lots of assignments to be completed within the week, and thus less time in the office (and online) than the week before.
It's a huge challenge to start everything from scratch. Lots of quotations and delieveries to be made soon, so I assume next week will be a tough one. More time under the sun (hopefully a better natural tan). It's a pity I don't have a digicam or camera phone, otherwise you might catch a glimpse of me in safety boots, white helmet, safety goggles and measuring tape. Typical Contractor Image.
I bought freaking 7 classics at the popular fair. Now my remaining free time will be spent reading more books. lol. first on the list is Les Miserables...

A hectic first week at work.
I can say that I'm still not conditioned to handle the fast-paced and stressful real world out there. Conditioned as in not having the relevant skills, the mental toughness, the quick wits and linguistic talent. As such, it has been disastrous trying to multi-task a lot of projects at a time.
But this is a rare learning opportunity not to be missed. Be able to learn first hand experience at engineering and logistics is quite rare for an arts student like me. I'll treasure this. To be given a responsibility is a good learning method, for you can learn as you work.
4 more months and 3 weeks to go.
autoCAD is so cool. But my brother's job is even better. Next time when you go to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (yes, it's near changi east), you might see me there too.

I have a job!
So I wouldn't be able to go out as often or spend long hours online. As a assistant supervisor (which I think is just a non-existent job position), my working hours are extremely long and the pay is extremely low for all the manual labour I have to give. But it's the experience that counts.
After thinking for so long, I've decided that my future job shall be nowhere near to the office. I can't stand all the office politics. So this current job at the engineering company shall be my first stepping stone into the real-world.
Good luck to me for the next 5 months.

Ok. I'm so tempted to go watch Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera that's coming to esplanade this march. Anyone want go?
Spent a week away from the bustling and everlasting city life. It's really a place I can relax and keep my mind afresh from all the side-effects of modern life and technology. I spent the days reading books, watching the skies change, took long walks along trails and reflect about myself. It's probably my first attempt at cooking once more (after all my previous failed attempts). More practice makes perfection (hopefully I don't burn the house down).
Now that I'm back into the comforts of my own bed, it's time for me to re-affirm all the efforts and achievements and continue to look forward to life once more.
I finally managed to get hold of and finish reading the two books I've been looking for the past year. I strongly recommend everyone to read Gaston Leroux's the Phantom of the Opera and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
mesmerized by the Angel of Music.
