Finally I'm leaving. Next week.
From here
To here (I wish...)
Back to Down Under of course together with my frenzily packed bags, and packing all friends in one week.
And still working for Sony *grinz*
I'm a Wonder Woman *ta-da* See my buldging muscles...
Happy Valentine's Day
I'm sure not many people know what bridge this is. When I see this bridge, I myself cannot recognise this bridge even though I have crossed this bridge probably hundreds of times when I was younger. This is the bridge of 'love as quoted from the ex PM Goh of Nanyang Girls and Chinese High.
A group of 'kind hearted' souls made a cartoon strip about love by the bridge. Must admit its pretty funny and sometimes if its true cos I guess it has never happened to me. Grinz.
And so this is a typical love story on the bridge. Which is true only to a certain extent I guess. The website that had this made alot more cartoons of other schools like AC, MGS, SCGS. I guess the only thing is to read it with an open mind and have a good laugh about it.
This is the website: The Students' Sketchpad. Enjoy!
This is the campus of Concord College (which I must admit is beautiful).
Looks like a rich man's house right?
And by the way this is the show that the campus is in the middle of no where.
Their facilities around campus:
Dining place
Auditorium
Library
Urm their discotechque (sp?)
Swimming Complex
Tennis Court
A map to show where Concord College is located. Far Far Far
But anyways, it is I must admit it's a beautiful place with a really condusive environment as it only has a small cohort of 340 out of which 120 students who take their A levels, 20 of them made it to medical school. Which is about 1/6th of the cohort which is quite an impressive statistic I must say. But I just didn't like the way they put the JC system in Singapore down. Even though yes its probably more stressful in Singapore but it does not mean that students in Singapore do not do well to enter universities in the UK. Because different countries have their different ways of handling things, and probably it is felt that this system is good for Singaporeans? Many would beg to differ but sometimes I guess reality is like that. You live with whatever you have. Not everyone has the opportunity to study overseas at such a young age because of the exhorbitant fees for international students. So what then happens to people who cannot afford it? Yes students make it Oxford and Cambridge, UOL, London School of Economics, etc but not everyone in Singapore can afford an education like that. What then happens? Do we just say, you know what too bad, because you don't have the money to have that sort of education. It does not mean that people who do not have the education of top universities, they are in any way not as good as those who have.
But of course, I'll be labelled as a jealous Singaporean
I guess all I wanted to say was, be happy with what is provided for you and don't complain. If you're able to get an overseas education, good on ya. If not, a local university education is equally as good because its the student that make their grades, not their schools that make their grades.
This is my old campus in Ipswich, admist all those trees. But really definately more populated and less ulu than Shrewsbury.
A note: this is purely based on my personal views even though I am educated overseas.
Stay Happy!
=D
Bored at work once more. Think I have not been bored of work in a while. Notice the lack of updates since the 1st of Feb. Work has surprisingly been busy the past week, screaming and running up and down. Heaps and heaps of calling to do, to chase people for RSVP lists. For most who don't know, my company organised 4 luncheons for their major clients starting from today till friday. The amount of work involved just to pull it off is tremendous. Not just on me but on my bosses who of cos in turn all presurise me. But oh well, I think its all good or so I say. As of yesterday, I think I scolded more fuck words than I have had in my entire stay in Cisco. But of cos, when deadlines are met, people like me gets let off and now I'm back to slacking in the office. Well, till my bosses come back from the restaurant.
sigh
Better enjoy my slacking abit more.
I went to a dinner last saturday in Toa Payoh in the Chinese Association Clan. First-timers to this event, we did not know what food was served but CNY well being CNY usually is served with the normal 7 course dinner. But hmm, when my mum mentioned the disturbing amounts of monks around, we were starting to suspect that it was vegetarian. Not that there is anything wrong with vegetarian food, its just not filling enough. And not surprisingly, we were right. Well, it was alright just the amount was not enough to make us full and the dishes took a long time to be served. But meantime, throughout the entire course meal, there was performances by urm aunties and uncles who actually bought tickets to this event under the persuasion of their Karaoke Teacher! In exchange for them buying the tickets, some of them get to perform. Now, normally shouldnt it be: in exchange for your performance, we give you free tickets? But anyway it all for a good cause.
Side note: I was wondering throughout the performances. Looking at the ages these performers were in, they are mostly people who have already retired or somewhere near there. Is there really nothing to do in their older age that people go for dancing classes and karaoke classes. Makes me wonder would I be like this next time when I'm at that age?
hmmm...
But anyway, work ends next week. Finally! And its time to start packing my millions and millions of stuff back to Brissy Land. Finally the mood for going back comes to me.
Embarking on this road when opportunities lie ahead of me once more
and its 10 mins to lunch!
*grinz*
Cny this year was an interesting affair as for the first time (as least for as long as I can remember), we ate out on the eve and the 2nd day of New Year. I bum around on the 1st day by the way. But I realise its not easy eating out as well cos it just seem that waitresses there cannot wait for you to just leave! As in, they serve and clear so fast that meal was kinda stressful after a while. But anyway, CNY a joyous affair.. =D
Me. Youngest brother.
Younger brother. Me.

At the restaurant when we actually had a breather waiting for the dessert.
Turned out to a longer break than expected and thus photo taking was in order..

And that's my CNY. Boring but at least it was a break with mahjong with the older generation. ;)

Met up with my babe just before CNY eve. My babe being my darling who came all the way from HK visiting! There were slight misunderstandings but darling I'm so glad that we're alright now. Brought my babe to Clark Quay where we were spoilt for choices for food and in the end we settled for Thai food. Service was great there and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself that night.
But of course us being us, we over ordered.
Lentil Soup
Saffron Rice - till now I still don't know what saffron really is. Or the spelling even right.
Butter Nann
Butter Chicken
Lamb Chops
And at the end of the night, we have like half of dinner left on the table. Ooops...
Thanks for the Wonderful Night Babe. Hope you have had one too.
