August is the mth of EPL ...
after a hiatus of a couple of mths ... the
EPL is back
for non-soccer fans ... EPL = English
Premier League ... sorrie nt to insult
ur intelligent or sth to tt extent =)
EPL and in particular Arsenal is one
of my biggest obsession
every morning I will wake up ...
get online and check up news on Arsenal
it's a habit, an obsession ... without
doing it ... the morning felt odd n incomplete
don ever commit the mistake of asking
me who I tink is the bez team in the world
n don BLINK when I answer u
..........................
rite now ... it's pretty coool ... without soccer... I have
other tings to keep me occupied
got to find another life ... life is nt juz abt one obsession
have juz been bz with job application, learning photoshop,
mtg frenzs, giving tuition
on Wed I was at TLL for their career fair... though the
bldg location was pretty ulu ... I was amazed by
most of the tings I saw
the organisation was good, n the staff, the profs were all
great ... they were friendly n nt quite aloof
TLL has v gud facilities for research ... I'm quite impressed
n even more impressed by the attitude of the
professor I talked to
one prof was so excited n enthusiastic abt working at TLL ...
so much so tt at one pt I felt I din have chance to ask my
qn ... when I finally asked my qn, the frankness of his reply surprised
me
I knew roughly wat I shd do now ... so it was a fruitful day
at TLL
as a child ... I dreamt of doing research tt cld benefit
mankind ... I was hell bent on researching in AIDs
for a long time
................
meetup w Dick on Tuesday ... juz to treat him for his
belated bdae dinner ... v sorrie tt I was a day in
wishing him bdae juz becuz all the dates I wrote
down in my organiser was one day late
it has been a while since we met up for dinner ... anyway
it was a cool evening at Kovan mall
he brought me to a shop tt taught magician skills ... wow!!!
they cld bend the spoon without efforts n do lotsa other
tricks ... I was dumbfounded
but the course package was quite ex ... until I got a job
... cldn't quite possibly go back toe shop again
spent abt $6 at a nearby arcade ... the game was cheap
... oni one token per game
juz before tt ... bumped into JC buddy, Gabriel ... he
definitely sounded more confident, mature n
cheerfully optimistic ... so I was quite happy
to see him in a cheerful mood
den he popped me tis qn : "how's ur love life?"
well, it has been a frequent ... mum, frenzs, relatives,
even my previous tuition employers asked me
tis qn
tink it an age ting ... but the bez ting I cld say is when
the time is ripe ... it WiLL HaPPen
...................
On thursday ... SY & BH were at my hse to watch some
korean movies ... though I wld highly recommend
'Bungee Jumping of their own', we ended up watching
'Sympathy for Mr Vengeance'
din quite have the momentum to revamp my korean
webpage so I hope I cld start doing so nxt wk
we went to the gym after tt ... it was realli a long, long
time since we last went there
juz last week ... vincent asked me to go for triathalon ...
v tempted to ... but the swimming portion realli
turned me off
mabbe if the triathalon is a relay event ... I wld happily
do the running portion ... although my knee can't realli
quite make it nowadays ... i still luv running altogether
after gym ... it was bowling ... I'm still quite poor at
bowling ... nvr quite able to reach the 100 mark ...
guess both my technique n concentration r nt quite there
but pals SY & BH have given me some secret tips =)
... I MIGHT improve frm there
.................................
... as an individual ... I want to b gud in everything ...
with expectations ... there alwae disappointments ...
but without disappointments there won't b
any hunger for success ... tt is wat push me on
... actually the ever optimistic me has self-doubting
moments ... like wat pple say :"life is nt tt simple,
nt tt ez"
but it DOESN't necessary has to b a STRUGGLE
it has been a struggle trying to find someone
researching in skin-related disease ... NSC
has rejected my application ... so I have to
look elsewhere
will I consider other fields?
it will b v difficult ... becuz I'm nt convinced
tt I cldn't find one
it was oni when I got serious acne ... tt I
can finally emphatised y pple was so
troubled over acne ... years of getting
rid of acne convinced me tt my future
lies in dermatology nt virology
as a child I wanted to research in AIDs ..
true enuff, at age 25 ... there still no
cure for the virus ... but we r getting
closed ... tt is y it will b a wrong time
to research in this area
A terribly wrong time !!!
................................
Cliff called me immediately after my
tuition ... Perfect timing to call
wanna jio me to watch Charity Shield
on Sunday nite
Ouch ... I was always fated to miss
the Charity Shield
... I hate to miss Arsenal match ... Hate to see the team lose ...
when I support a team ...
I believe in the team's ability thru n thru ...
wanna start an Arsenal blog but coming
up with the design concepts of the pg is a bit tough for me
Cliff is a Man Utd fan ... but he is a sporty fan
... so he won't slag me ... n I too respond in a
positive manner in fact ... I'm great pal with him
... as well as Jayce, my SEP buddy, oso a Man Utd
fan ... funny ting life
..........................
on Sat ... was with Mum @ the temple ... mum
wanna get a lot for me rgding my job application
don quite rem wat we did after ... tink we did
some shopping ... watched the fireworks ... have dinner
Sat was Jayce's bdae ... so I joined him
@ Liquid Kitchen later n tt was after I spent some
time at Kino, Bugis ... trying to find some inspiration
And I DID !!!
I read up more on economics, investments ... I'm
interested in these areas ... I'm
motivated to make sure tt 20 yrs down the rd ... I'm
financially secure
and I WON'T LOSE the fortune I built up
Jayce picked me up @ PS ... looked v cheerful ...,
he has been a tremendous frenz but we haven meet up for quite a while ...
@ Liquid Kitchen they still reminded me abt the time I
was realli drunk during New Year Day ... it all sounds
v farny ... quite unbelievable ... but I don tink they r so
free to fabricate the story
..........................
Sunday was ONI abt tuition ... the kids made fun of the fact tt I
wore PINK ... their comments highlighted
their innocence, their playfulness =)
don tink I will b taking class tuition nxt yr ... so it's the
end of four yrs at the centre ... I guess it a gud time to
move on n get on with my life
back to top?
Thanks for visiting!! Hi!!
