Post 131

time flies ... tis is the 131th post ...
I remember tt I wrote my
first article in May
when I was in Sweden

tt was in 2004 ... so much
has changed ... but oni
one year has passed

2004 is hectic but fun (in
patches)

2005 is tough in the first
half but relaxing
in the second period

it's the end of resume sending
... my resume is
a hybrid of 2 templates,
one frm Audrey

n my cover letter is written
using a software ... gosh
the software is really
gud

but I won't say it's cheap
& gud ... value for $$$
is a beta way to put
it

those who wan to borrow the software
... juz text me ...
i will b happy to "rent" it to u

got a job offer on Tuesday ...
Mr Postman arrives
at my doorstep with
a registered article ...

IT WAS THE CONTRACT
OFFER

the salary and the contract's terms
are fair

basically the contract is in order ...
so I felt bad abt
rejecting the deal ... becuz
both the directors were
v sincere to me
during the interview

they wanted to give me the
job. The contract was
dated a day after
the interview

I was telling yihao a day
before the interview that
I'm rather fearful
attending the interview
before the two directors

it was a long 1.5 hr interviews ...

the next day... another of my interviewer
asked me whether I would
like to take his
scholarship n do
postgraduate

I chose the later n felt rather
bad about rejecting
the kind director's offer

She is the few interviewer
who is both friendly and
candid with me,
n I appreciate it ...
but I felt that it
is not proper for me
to quit after a few
mths

tis week everything shld be
clearer including my
Sweden application

anyway I have been enjoying
life, waking up at
9am in the morning ...
now, waking up @ 6:30 am
is a weird concept
to me

last Sat, I was @ JB w Jayce & pals
... doing things
tt most pple will do
when they go into JB

except tt we din go
for karaoke ...

there wasn't so much of a jam,
so we were pretty
much surprised by
the smooth traffic ...

Lunch was gud but I like dinner
the bez ... u cld get there
by cab but there's no way
of flagging a cab
at tt plc ... the seafood
was fabulous (kinda
reminds me of
the seafood @ sarawak which
is cheap & gud)

we chill up at tis plc
... tink it is called the 'Tree-house' ...
I have never see anything lidat ...
the satay is v gud ... n the
atmosphere is unique ...
reminiscence of the kampong-like
lifestyle

anyway this week is like feast after
feast ... the good thing is
that I didn't have to
pay a single cent ... November
treats me well

on Wed ... I met up with proj mate,
Koh Siang... talk abt the
gud old days ... tt
was the most FUN project
gp I ever had in NUS ...

we cld celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival,
have steamboat together in campus
and meet at least half a year ...
when KF & me leave for
our exchange ... we still
meet when we
returns

a generous and fun group of friends ...
with them I could truly connect

I can't wait for December to come
n meeting with the rest
of my proj mates

Uncle has told me to take up
driving with the time
I have now ... den he
says tt he will
sponsor my course fee

haha... I'm waitng for
someone to just say that

met Leonard on my way to
IKEA... Jayce told
me the foto frame
@ IKEA was gud ... so I juz went
there juz to get
a frame... but I ended
up spending $8.50 buying
some finishing for the $3 frame

anyway, I luv woodwork a lot ...
my uncle is a contractor n I use
to spend some of my school
holidays helping up at his company
... the bez part of the job is
the perspiration and the
satisfaction

the beta part of my weekend was spent
eating ... the BEZ dish
was the scallops

y are so scallops so delicious especially
when they feed on crap? Crabs are
gud as well, but they too feed on crap...
n i tink lala feed on crap as well

December will be cool, parties, gift-shopping,
food, karaokes n my pals
will be back ... Enjoy December!!!

November Days

November passes v quickly ... I can't believe it
... it's approaching the end of the
month

this year seem v weird to me ...
everyday just passes v
quickly ... it has been
like a mad rush

I luv November ... there r
more sunny days den
in October ... nvr
expected tt
... so it's
a pleasant surprise

I have been swimming, running in the
sun ... n the feeling is
realli gud

din update my blog last week ...
was v bz ... but din expect
tis week to be even more
so

there was tis guy who called
me: "do u organise
group tuition"

den he said he got
my number frm a
flyer ... which
I din give any
in the first plc

so it's v v v odd ... but we
trashed up a deal
to teach his son for
6 lessons juz
for his streaming exam

so it's a good assignment for
me ... call it luck!!! but
Nov is a gud month for me

on Thursday I was watching 'Tom
Yam Goong' with BH ...
anyway the Goong tks for
prawn ... basically the
show is a lots n actions
n quite farni as well

my frenz says Tony Jaa
looks like Indra Sahdan ...
I guess the muscular
version of Tony Jaa

the show is gud entertainment
... but nothing extraordinary

I spent Sat juz swimming, gg to
the temple n dining
w mum plus watching
soccer with CK & my cousin

the weekend passes v quickly ...
without knowing me tt tis
week is super HECTIC

I have 8 tuition sessions for the week, 2 interviews,
plus some leisure activites ... I din realli
have much time to do
my research proposal

but I'm glad to wrap up teaching one
of my 'O' Level student ... it's
oni a two-mth assignment ...
I've tried my best ... but
I donno whether it will work
up

my cousin always say I'm
an egoistic guy ... who don
like to lose ... everyone
in my family sort
of has tis opinion to some
extent... whenever I
take up any tuition
assignment ... I will tell myself
"My student don get
anything less than A2"

but tuitions brought back lotsa
memories ... like seeing my
students grow ... seeing
them improves gradually
... having dinner/bbq with the
families

I remember after an overnight
fishing trip ... I went for
tuition n den I was so sleepy
tt I juz dozed off ... my student's
parent juz watched past
n switched on the fan for
me ... she din say anything ...

tuition has given me the $$$
for my SEP ... so I'm
grateful for
tt ... I still have
vivid memories of my
exchange ... sth tt
will exist in my mind for a long
time

after 6 years ... teaching tuition
has became a habit
... the satisfaction I derived
frm it an addiction

tis week interviews were gud ...
on Wed ... I was rather
frantic trying to
find out info abt
the institute becuz
the 2 directors of
the institutes were
gg to interview me

end up the directors were
v nice to me ... n even
add some humour
to the interview ... both of
them say I look like someone

so Interview Number 3 turned up
quite well ... Interview Number
4 was gud

I guess confidence take a while to
build up, but one
can lose it v easily

have a lot to write ... but gonna wake
up tmr for JB ... will
end here ... have a fun n cool
weekend

Friday, November 04, 2005 @ 12:20 PM

Easing into November ...

November arrives with a week that goes like tis

work... holiday...work...holiday...work... weekends

doesn't apply for me though ... cuz I'm
still a part-time tutor

imagine working life is lidat ... it will
be more fun ... won't be so
much of a drag ...
but mabbe
less efficient

there are 4 weeks in Nov n I hope
things happen in Nov ... if
I get a job I will be
glad to accept it ... if there is
progress in my
postgrad/scholarship
application ... it will
ease a lot of the uncertainties

Nov is abt making things happen ...
n saving enuff to enjoy Dec

tt my perception ... might be
diff for other pple ... but Dec
calls for a lot of celebration

Pals CK & KH will b back ... so
we will have a mini celebration
together with other gd pals ...
it has been quite a while since
the 5-6 of us went out
together

I was closer to CK & KH ... but
when they are away ... I have
got to know XS & SW
more

tdy I juz checked my bank
balance ... it's v healthy
... with some saving in
Nov, I can have my
fair share of enjoyment in
Dec

Cousin fam asked whether I got
everything planned up

pple who know me will know that
I am not a real planner ... but
I have a vision of what
I'm trying to do ...

Usually I will do it ... but sometime
I will take ages to do
what I intend

haven party, karaoke, shopping n stuff
for a long time ... tt will happen in
December

but at least i have watched a couple
of movies in recent weeks

it's v strange ... at one stage I
was v keen on korean movies
... tt shd be frm 2001-2003

I bought my own domain
(www.koreanmovie.org) in end 2003,
n finally launched it in June 2004 ...

den in 2004 I inspired some
interest in my frenzs in korean
movies ... somehow my interest
dipped from there

but the whole of 2004 and the first
half of 2005 was a lean period
for my website ...

In Sep ... Yahoo & msn indexed my site ...
n the site traffic has been
improving steadily ever since

my interest has been renewed ...
have written about 8 reviews during
tis 2 mths ... sth I haven't been able
to do for a long while

when I first wrote my first review in 2003,
I was struggling ... I can sit
the whole day n I still
din like what I wrote

now I can finish a review in one
afternoon, or in two
afternoon if it's a long one ...
it's a vast one ... I tink
taking the Lit module during
my last yr in NUS was
realli helpful

the first midterm essay I
got a 'C' ... but I learnt a lot
from tt

it is during writing n web-designing
tt I can use the creative
side of me ...

I have told mum tt after doing
my research work nxt time...
I'm gg to do sth v diff after tt

she was quite skeptical ... but
I'm equally skeptical abt
devoting myself to
doing just one thing ... tt realli
nt my style

____________________________
on Sat, I was having lunch
with JC mates, HS & Tz
... time pass v quickly ....
but I don remember we
talk school days

I hav gud feeling abt mtg
them though I realli
can't remember
wat we talked abt ...

but they did said "You got bad memories", which
I totally agreed ... I have a
bad habit of agreeing to
meet up w someone
when I had sth
scheduled ...
I have short term memories I supposed

but mum wasn't impressed with my memories ... n
we had some arguments during mid-week
... it's all settle now ... HAPPY ending =)

On Sunday ... I was watching a
french comedy @ GV cineleisure ... both KL
& me nvr expect it to
b so wonderfully humorous ...
at first, I was trying to
find some meaning from frm the show

den I got into the mood ... n
realli enjoyed myself

we talked for a long while after the
show ... haven't done tt
for a while ... nvr
knew each other v well when
we were in the camp ... it's
realli pure coincidence tt
we ended up being v gud
buddies

Rach asked abt one of the
incident in 'Sympathy For Lady
Vengeance' ... usually my frenzs
will ask me qn after

watching Director Park's movie ...
his movie are well-made
n well-executed

u will have question along the
show ... n realise u have
the answer 20 mins later ...
tt is brilliant editing

I'm always v curious abt his
works ... becuz making movie
is abt creativity n
the ability to 'spring' surprises
n Park is the few directors
tt still amaze me with
every of his works

anyway ... tis is a movie
I recommend ... it has
enuff intellect to keep u interested
... n some comic moments to
make it a less painful watch ...
watch it if u can

Tuesday ... I juz eat & eat it
will mum & relatives ... dinner
@ the cafeteria @ Selectar Base
Country Club was nice ...
but the staff couldn't realli
handle the crowd ... the pork
ribs was real gud though ... I haven
taste sth quite lidat b4

felt a bit much relaxed these few
days... decided to
take a break on thursday
n friday

I was at home the whole day
on thursday ... so
mum cldn't complain I'm
always out

anyway, the break did
wonders for me ...
felt much refresh ... much
readi to do a lot of tings

tt y I can a lot tdy ... on
Thurs I thot I won't have
any inspiration to write ...
so I did some 'personality tests'
so tt I cld at least have
some new posts

some of them were realli true,
so much so that it kinda
shocks me

like this "You tend to dream big, but you
worry that your dreams aren't attainable."

n tis "You are a fun-seeker - an adventurous, risk-taker."

"You believe that morality is what best suits the occasion."

n tis is v true "You are pretty vain and happy
with your physical appearance."

according to the questionaire, I'm a panda
in my past life ... haha ... at least
I don have deep eyebags ... tks gdneses ...

tis is a nice lyrics - u need to switch the IE encoding to unicode:
