/ 12:41 PM have you watched "the warlords"? I did! watched it last monday with wendy 2 scenes in the movie triggered my thoughts, and a little memories... first one was the scene where pang qing yun (jet li) made a ruthless decision and ordered his troops to comply. For that decision, he had a major argument with his sworn brother zhao er hu (andy lau), causing the irrevocable riff between he and his 2 brothers. after giving the orders, he turned back, behind his thick armour, back-facing everyone, clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and dropped one drop of tear, just one drop... 2nd scene was where the war finally ended, andy lau and his subordinates went to a restaurant for a feast, a show was put up depicting he and his comrades' war stories. 看着看着, 他一边大笑,一边哭泣. 是悲从中来, 还是喜极而泣, 只有自己知道, 他人是无法了解的. my sisters say they don't like the show, i personally liked it alot alot.. 男人戏, 可能只有男人看得懂吧... ----- oh by the way, back to my internship, a lao jiao in my dept who had 15 years of public sector experience, who just came back from his long mc, took a look at my work for the past 2 weeks. he took a look at my ongoing report and said that it was rather well done despite only 2 weeks in the arena with no prior experience in this field! hehs, just as i was quite delighted to hear this comment, he added... "its really well-written and your thoughts are well-organised as well, i think you'll do quite well in the public sector." :/ 不会吧, another one... |

/ 11:59 PM 一直以为很果断 快刀斩乱麻 却原来握着的是把双刃剑 砍伤了自己 也划破了对方 重拾过去足迹 走你走的路 听你听的歌 想让你知道 我依然在乎 我以为自己走了出来 原来还是回到了本来的零度空间 我相信有那么一天 一切将会冰释前嫌 经历过这么多苦难 这一小段等待不算什么 凭什么 就纯粹因为我相信 |

/ 11:24 PM initially wanted to blog about some unhappy stuff, shall leave it to the next post den... anw, was passing Xin Yu some stuff to put in her room just now, and she was telling me abit about bike quest marketing... woahs! seriously it was damn good lah! she was telling me that there were companies hearing about bike quest and have been following up on its progress! yeah! it was indeed very 暗爽 for me! it shows that our hardwork for the past few batches worked! pple do hear and know and have been following up on our Arts Club Bike Quest!! it shows that not only bike quest is progressing, but NUS Students' Arts and Social Sciences Club is slowly gaining awareness from the public as well! indeed, we worked hard so that future batches can have an easier time, and this batch work even harder so that projects can be pushed to a greater height and next batch can have an even easier time, and it goes on and on, resulting tin successes after successes, legends after legends... hmm, on the other hand, imagine if we were to be daunted by the scale of big projects, doubted our own abilities and decided to scrape the project, this good news won't come in anymore... 2 old men said this to me during my term: "why aim small? why not aim big and really make it there?" indeed, it may be just a "dream big" thingy, but at least we dream of it before, and we made the effort to reach there... :) and even if we fail, there's the next batch, and the next batch, and the next batch, to carry on the dream... in the first place, "there will be miracle, when you believeeeee...." that's why miracles happened after miracles, i've seen it for myself before, really, lots of them... and then again, miracles happen because we believe and worked hard for it, and carried on the dream generations after generations :) jiayous pple!! :) and good luck for those who're goin to be "interrogated" soon... (word of advice: "don't 'fake', be true to yourself...") |

/ 11:56 PM a sms brightened up my 9-5 day during lunch time today! =) ----- i'm trying to learn as much as possible about business management and enterprise development, but its soooooo broad! now im learning how to draft a business proposals and coming out with various options just picked up a new interest: reading business magazines! everyday im flipping 'enterprise today', 'bizquotient', 'SBF annual report'... and everyday im reading rules and regulations (just like in the past) haha!! btw, i really think i cannot sit still, and not suitable for a desk bound job! every 2 hours, i must stand up and take a walk around! oh ya people! do drop by SBF to look at the Enterprise Promotion Exhibition at level 21 of Keppel Towers. you'll be surprised! i myself never knew that there were soooo many local enterprises in Singapore! and its the most direct way of getting marketing contacts man.. *hint* ---- favourite songs recently: - 往事随风， 天天好心情，小指， split second main theme, 依然是朋友 |

/ 9:26 PM wah, cannot lose to hock, i must blog about my internship too! =p frankly speaking, my intern life isn't as exciting as hock's. but nonetheless, its still a whole new experience! (oh, and hock's blog reminded me that I haven't do my work schedule yet!!) :/ in order to look "pro" for the internship, i koped my sister's new hand carry laptop bag. so everyday, like other city dwellers, i'll carry my bag, squeezed into the mrt with the rest, catch a copy of 'My Paper', listen to my hp MP3, blah blah blah, just like any other executives, perhaps with more energy =) haha its quite funny to see with my own eyes how people "chope" seats with tissue paper! after wearing 2 days of office attire, I'm starting to miss those days of just berms and a t-shirt... ah! and really, nus life is so carefree and relaxed lo! now i have to wake up everyday at 6.30 to go to work... :/ after working for 2 days, I can really understand why adults used to tell me that the 9 to 5 world can easily drained off your aspirations. seriously, in the 9-5 world, everything is too organised, too crisis-free, too scheduled, so really not much fun coz there isn't much ups and downs. according to my colleague, its relatively peaceful now coz its the end of the year and so there isn't much event. my department is quite small, one dept director, one senior manager on long mc, another assistant exec, and me! so its really quite boring, and the people there don't really talk a lot, or perhaps coz im new, so i have to slowly go and know them personally lo... and my department deals with local enterprise and events. however, currently there isnt much events around so i was tasked to doing research. at the end of my internship, i have to submit a business plan! according to my boss, such a project proposal will take biz school students one semester as their thesis! proposal writing, report writing, researching again!! haha, ok, enough of complaining! now comes the good points. hmm, everyday is like a 9-5 lecture, i learn new acronyms (eg PKI, BCM, etc etc) everyday. then, i read up on reports every day as well to better understand and analyse the market. and then somewhere around 4.30, my boss will bring me to a meeting room and start to give me 'personal tutorial'! hmm, i shall use tml to get into the "business" mind :) |

/ 4:36 PM GEK1500 killed me... Really worried about it, I just wana S it pleasssseee.... *pray* ---- 否极泰来... a call yesterday afternoon changed my mood! from SBF! I GOT THE INTERNSHIP!! and they only recruit ONE intern! haha another exciting month for me ahead! =) thanks hock for agreeing to be my referee! thanks fel for teaching me the interview skills! thanks nus career centre for the assistance! and thanks to all the friends for the support and help! seriously, if you still do not know which career path to take, u should REALLY go to NUS Career Centre, sign up for their courses! but its quite a mixed feeling though, especially when im so used to nus and arts club life and the familiar faces in school. now its like i have to start all over again, in a new environment by myself, with no one knowing me :/ -----  like how andy lau puts it: "未曾经历, 如何懂得" When I first entered NUS, I made a personal promise to get as much experience from my uni life as possible. haha, the once arrogant and egoistic bit even had this aspiration to "be the big fish in the big ocean", after being the 'big fish in small pond' during my school days, and 'small fish in big sea' in the army 2 and half years had humbled me quite a lot, but im still proud to say that in comparison to many other university students, my uni life is far more enriching and exciting than theirs! after having a 'bing bing biang biang' 2 years in nus, now i truly appreciate the relatively calm and peaceful year 3 life. indeed, there were many sacrifices, pain and hardship to go through, but it had indeed made me wiser, stronger and clearer in life. =) andy says again: "Only those who have experienced it, will know how to find colour in black and white" seriously, come to think of it, it feels quite good to just gan cheong about GEK1500, worried about how many As, Bs, Cs I'll be getting this sem, thinking about when to watch what movie, sitting in canteen drinking coffee with friends, reading books... hehs ----- eh, YOU Uno Numero -5, when are u all free to play mahjong? I make it clear first hor, i got no money to lose!! hahaha! =p |
