Quotations ...

was reading thru a Photoshop manual n
there were surprisingly plenty of nice
quotations

u seldom get tt in a manual, more so in
a software manual

quotations r added incentive in a manual

cool =), here r some of them

'You often have to fix the biggest problem before you can even see
what the other problems are'

'when all u have is a hammer, everything starts to like a nail'

tis wk was "Finding-A-Job" week

a lot of pple have asked n commented:

"how job searching? got a job"

"u r rich hor ... take ur time to find a job"

& other comments ... all along the same line

personally, I'm still trying hard to find a suitable
job, a job I will like a lot

but I'm tkful to a few persons though ... brian
for volunteering to vet thru n amend my
resume, vincent for saying tt he will
help me ask abt job openings in DSO

tks all yah

rite now, I won't consider taking up a sales job

I have no feel for the job rite now ...

I see myself being in the research line for
6 years or so ... perferably in the dermatology
field

tt the plan for now

will send out a few more applications by Saturday, n
den wait for invitations for interview

_________________________

have monday pretty planned up ... supposed to
b karaoke den swimming at brian's plc

but the heavy rain spoilt part of the plan ... ended
up gg back home after karaoke becuz I still gonna teach
at nite

singing with bryan + pal was pure fun

bryan is quite a sport ... a cool karaoke khaki ... was
kinda surprised when he jio me for karaoke ... realli LUV
his jacuzzi at his condo ... the jet was so powerful

i rarely listen to guy's song ... ladies can sing beta n
with more feel but guys can rap beta

but i luv zhang yu sheng's song ... they r v unique
... n the lyrics r simple n philosophical .
.. after so many yrs the songs still sound v crisp n fresh

monday was tiring after a 3 hrs tuition ... alwae
v tired after tuition ... somehow i burnt all
my energy within the 3 hrs

class tuition r more tiring though ... got to teach, maintain discipline
n basically makes everyone happy

seemed like I have been teaching for a long, long
time ... some pple called me the Tuition KiNG ...
but I'm grateful tt Tuition provided me with
the $$$ for my undergrad life, for my SEP

without TuiTion perhaps my undergrad
life will b less enjoyable, less happening

met tze-chien over for tea at Lot1 .... it was supposed
to b lunch ... but tze-chien was too engrossed
with his work

delifrance had a total make-over ... the tables r
no longer round ... fine squarish wooden tables replaced
them ... the desserts costed $20 plus dollars ...
$20 for desserts oni u noe ...

but the aircon was cool ... in fact too cold ... tt both
of us were shivering ... n the person serving us
kept looking into my eyes tt I felt a bit uncomfortable

nvr knew tze-chien was into photoshop ... realises tt
learning photoshop is realli an art itself

I am nt a born artist ... but I appreciate the aesthetic
sense of ting ... n I luv to "play"with colours

to me beauty gives quality n meaning to one's life

but I wasn't quite able to draw as a child, I even got
a personal art's tutor to teach me ... but I cld star at the
pp for one fREaking DaY n I still cldn't draw

somehow I cldn't express myself thru drawing ...
n it was an agony ... it truly was

I like art but my inability to do it well ate into
me

it was my trickery however, tt always got me pass
arts lesson during sec sch

I cld make use of carbon paper to actualli
trace my drawing ... n produced some astonishing
work thru tis "technique"

in writer's term ... tt shd b plagiarising

somehow i always have this luck ... even
when I ended in a rut ... there was alwae
plenty of opportunities or pple to help me

when my hse bought a copier ... it
was ez for me to do tis form of "Plagiarising"

somehow I wasn't quite liberated wheN
I diN have to take Arts during upper SeC ...

though I din know quite well how to
draw ... i still love art

so I was quite happy when I finally got
to see Starry Starry nite in Berlin
last April.

it was like a dream come true ...
like being a child again ... when u finally
got the toy u wanted to have

it's a painting tt is touching both
in its creation n the actual artpiece itself

...................

later at nite ... met some of my uni frenzs
for karaoke

pals guobao, raofeng n stella were there... cousin
noi n guobao's bf joined sometimes later

RF was a bit over the top den ... we were
joking tt he was drunk

the last time we sang together ... it was like during
our last pp ... we sang till 6 am tt time

tis time ard it was equalli fun... 5hrs of singing

towards the last hr i hardly sang ... ended up talking
to Stella

alwae thought she cld b a gd actress ... so I asked
her whether she had ever considered tt

she joked tt she was waiting to be my actress when
I become director in the near future ... there were
so many things I wanted to do ... being a director
is actualli one of them

but the direction I'm gg means tt
I won't have much of the chance ... unless
I quit being a scientist, or quit dreaming
to b a lawyer

n I cldn't forgo any of the above ... so I knew
wat I cld do

friday was audrey's last day at work ... so prof
invited the whole lab for a lunch

strangely enuff ... sitting my beside prof I felt tt I had
an inertia in communicating w him ... mabbe it becuz
I haven realli seem him in a while

the lab is realli expanding ... n I cld notice
the satisfied look in prof's face

Audrey, michie n priscilla wanted to "fight and
quarrel" in front of prof n see how he responded
... I was so looking forward to their "play" but
ended up they r all committee member of NATO
... SO DISAPPOINTING !!!

August will b interesting ... the EPL will start, my powercraft
course will start soon
... n mabbe I will get a job by then ...

can't wait for EPL to start... hope everyone
is looking forward to August
