After one and half years of preparations, the results finally came out this morning. It was really disappointing as I was aiming for distinction. Or rather, at least a merit would suffice.

This would really make me think twice about going for my diploma exam. Super low morale.
Another close colleague has moved on... We went through so much together for the past 5 years. It was a shocking news when he told me he is tendering the letter. I didn't expect it to be so fast. I'll definitely miss him around, dropping by my seat for chats, having tea breaks together, attending courses, brainstorming for ideas, phone calls to update on work matters and most importantly, I'll lose someone whom I can talk heart-to-heart to.
Days in my job pass by so quickly that there is actually no real quality time to cherish and spend with colleagues. Until the day they are leaving, you will start to think back how much you know the person and how much you have done to know you really treasure such a colleague as a friend.
What are the chances of finding a true friend amongst your colleagues? Rare, but I can say I have found at least two.
All the best, my life coach.
I've finally submitted my CV to HK and Taiwan. I've mentioned before in my earlier post that I wanted to go for an overseas job stint. So here comes the chance... and I'm grabbing it. If I don't go now, then when?
Some friends tell me it's not going to help me get hitched. Oh well, that's not the main point. I just feel that my current job is getting boring and I'm beginning to feel very impatient with people. I think a change will do me some good.
Hope I hear good news soon. :)
It may be a little too late to write this now. But this is to pen down just in case I've forgotten and to keep myself in check.
1. Save more money. At least $1k per month.
2. Obtain a distinction in Grade 8 Violin practical.
3. Organise and go for a 10 to 15 day trip to Korea with cousins.
4. Save at least $5k for a Europe trip and go in 2012.
5.
Will fill in if I have new ones... =)

I'll be heading for the first overseas CIP trip of my life on Saturday afternoon to Hanoi, Vietnam. Don't know what to expect there but definitely going to gain new insights. I'll just treat it as a 6-day camp. Have a great company going with me that will surely filled with entertainment daily. But on the other hand, extra work and meetings every night. My boss already prep me that he will be going through work stuff with me over the nights. That spoils my plan of reading and relaxing at night.
Did some reading up of the places I'll be staying and working.
1st day - 20th Nov
Staying at Pacific Hotel. http://www.pacifichotel.com.vn/bookroom.asp
Looks pretty good. And more importantly, WIFI access!!
2nd - 4th day - 21st to 24th Nov
Will be heading to Hai Duong Welfare Centre.
Address: No 93 duong Nguyen Luong Bang – Thanh pho Hai Duong.
Not much facilities there. Definitely no WIFI. I'll be glad enough if there is water and electricity. Nevertheless, I have air pillow, sleeping bag, light stick, torch and energy bars ready.
A little background of the centre:
"Hai Duong welfare center was established in March 1982. With about 1000 disabled and disadvantaged children coming from many parts of Hai Duong province, it's the biggest center of this type in the nort of
In the welfare center, the children are handicapped in many different ways. Some are deaf mute, some are mentally disabled, some are physically disabled, and some are both. Some of them can make many activities and some of them are heavily handicapped. So all the activities you plan have to be adapted to the children. They all have different skills and difficulties. Try to be imaginative and flexible. With one more or one less rule in a game you can make it more accessible to all of them. The children can have unexpected behaviours. Be ready to deal with it. There will be a Vietnamese teacher to help you in the activities."
5th day - 25th Nov
Will be staying at Viet Hotel!

1. Call her. She picked up and tell you that you called the wrong number.
2. Call her a thousand times and she will MISS your calls.
3. Give some poor invalid excuses to not turn up for duty. Worse of all, she said "I FORGOT".
4. Give you work worse than sub-standards.
5. LEECH my work.
6. Act innocent, as if gotten bullied, as if she's working for the first time.
I CAN'T TELL HER PERSONALLY. SO CAN I JUST SAY IT HERE?
YOU SUCK BIG TIME!
WE HELP YOU CLEAN UP THE SHIT EVERY TIME.
AND I HAVE TO SMILE AT YOU SO FAKE-LY.
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE AND I HOPE YOU GET SACKED SOON!!
Got this irritating thing on my phone! The apps I wanted to download or update was frozen in the "waiting" status for a few days! Doesn't even work when I plug into iTunes.
Finally googled for a solution! What you have to do is just to reboot your iPhone!! Ta-daaa!!! ^^
