What have I done from August 2009 to June 2010?

It has been quite some time that i have leave this blog inactive… haha… I was thinking maybe I should just continue to write something here just for fun… to keep the blog alive… haha…

So the following is what I have done ever since my previous post “Prawn Fishing at 海滨" on 10th August 2009 until now.

• Signup gym membership together with Industrial Attachment (IA) colleagues. It is a unbelievable that I would pay to do exercise… LoL… Well there is always some exceptions in life… so what i usually do is to do a try-catch-finally… so that I won’t get terminated here… haha…
  
• Completed my 6 months IA programme. All thanks to the supervisors and fellow colleagues there, I finally make it to jump over the line which i once thought impossible… Really thanks a lot. Hurray~! End of my life as a student…
  
• Went for One-Timed Spa Session and Yoga Course. Being part of the gym promotion membership package, I was entitled a one-timed spa session and yoga course.
  
• Went to Thailand with IA colleagues. (My 1st airplane experience.)

My 1st driving experience too~!	My 1st heavy drinking experience too~!  Lol~!

• Went to Taiwan with NTU friends. Went there to 跨年. So I can say that I have been to Taiwan from 2009 to 2010, wow… haha~!  I was there for around 10 days if I didn’t remember wrong… the weather then was pretty cold… natural air-con wherever you go… Something i realised there was that the night there is longer than in Singapore. Around 6pm there, the sky will looks like its 8pm in Singapore already. Seems like Taiwan have a longer night time than day time… maybe that is the reason why the girls there are more fair… haha… just my thoughts…
  
• Resumed my NSF Distruption for a period of 2 months. Boring life at SQN being an over-aged NSF there… lol I just simply spent 1 month doing guard-duties, and 1 month enjoying my guard-duty offs sleeping… haha alternate days guard duties are siong loh… haha…
  
• Found my 1st job as a Software Engineer. Start of my life as a working adult… I have just came to realise that what we have learnt in University is way too minimal to bring it to work… lol “Objective: To apply what I have learnt in school to work...” is a bit impossible if we are talking about the technologies learnt in school… hahaha~! But in fact, what I have benefit the most is the skill of self-researching… to find your way out yourself by means of Google… lol This skill is a must to pick up when doing projects in school… Another skill will the art of asking questions… asking the right person and asking wisely can make you quite resourceful sometimes… hahaha~! How? don’t ask me that, because i am also still trying to learn those skills… hahaha~!

Oh yah, I just bought an 16” LCD monitor from the recent PC Show. Although there are other bigger monitor available out there… but due to space constraints… I really can’t afford too big a monitor to place it on my desk. Furthermore, my eyes is too small to look at big screen… hahaha~! But it really feels good to run on 2 monitors, extended desktop… shiok sia… can multitask more… but limited by the processing power of my laptop… time to get a new Desktop PC i guess… lol~!

And yes… I have just got older by one year… sigh… hahaha~! Eh but not bad… at least my colleagues there do celebrate colleagues' birthday… wah… got birthday cake somemore leh… 感动到~~~! hahaha~!

NTU IA July 2009

This is a group photo taken on the first day (6th July 2009) of my IA (Industrial Attachment).

It has been 1 week already and so far so good. People there are nice and friendly.

There are a total of 6 NTU interns in this photo. The 2nd one from the right is not interns. But he is 3 or 4 days more senior than us. Someone in the company suggested that the 7 of us take a group photo and email it to everyone in the company to notify them that we are the new faces in the company.

*Photo has been edited and no names were mentioned in this post in order not to expose the identity of the company and the people involved in this photo.

萱, 卉, 靖, 大嘴巴 School Concerts

Wahahaha~! It has been some time ever since my last post here. I have been busy with my school work, FYP (Final Year Project), examinations (my so called “last examination in NTU”) and FYP oral presentation. All these ended on 04/05/2009. Hurray~!

Apart from my academic stuff, I have watched 3 school concerts in this semester. The concert tickets are as shown in the left photo.

The first ticket at the top of the photo is the 卓文萱 《超级喜欢》 校园演唱会 which was held on 15/01/2009. I still remember that there was this guy who claim that his name is 曹格 while playing a game where he was asked to sing the song《梁山伯与茱丽叶》 with 卓文萱. Damn hilarious.
The following is a list of videos link:
    > Genie Campus Concert 
    > The so called "曹格"

The second ticket at the middle of the photo is the 《卉出靖彩》 校园演唱会 which was held on 04/02/2009. This is a concert by 石欣卉 & 黄靖伦. Although both of them are Singapore singer, but it seems to me like those who start their singing career in Singapore will be of less outstanding in terms of performance than those who start in Taiwan. This is a link to a list of videos.

The last ticket at the bottom of the photo is the 大嘴巴 《王元口力口》 校园演唱会 which was held on 13/03/2009. Haha, don’t remember much from this concert. Probably because March was when most of the assignments deadline were. Too stressful and so the memories for March is lost. LoL.

But none of all these school concerts is comparable to Claire 郭静 《下一个天亮》 校园演唱会. Because only 郭静 walk around the theater to shake hand with most of the audiences including me… Wakakaka!

/* All the above videos that was mentioned are not taken by me. */

Currently I am waiting for my IA (Industry Attachment) allocation and the examination results for this semester. Be it good or bad, I shall just leave them all to fate and enjoy my holidays now… LoL!

NTU ACES Cheerleading

wah wah wah wah wah!!! Today pass by canteen A in NTU, then saw many people crowding around a stage.... What is that??? Lets check it out!!!

oic!!! Its the NTU Cheerleading people performing... They call themselves "ACES". Dont know why... Anyway, managed to make my way to the very front to capture their performance video in my Samsung E770!!! But, before you play the video, you can choose to stop the current background music(so nice right?) if you think it is too noisy... hehehe... the control for the (very nice)background music is somewhere at the bottom right of the page...
Ready? ok, here comes the video...

My Trip to NTU for Hostel Payment

Today early in the morning went all the way to NTU to pay my hostel acceptance fees. Below are some BoLiao photo taken from my Samsung SGH-E770 1.3 Mega Pixel Camera Phone while I was on my way to the Student Service Centre.

 

On the way to my Hall after the payment, wondering how it looks like.

 

Look what is this! From far I can see construction site near my Hall!!! Looks like it is going to be very noisy and dusty at there.

 

When I reach the entrance of my Hall, I realise that actually the distance between the Hall and the construction site is not as close as i thought it would be. And it would be better if my hostel is located at those blocks that is further away from the Hall entrance so that those noise from the construction site will be minimized. But its all beyond my control, I cant choose my hostel. It is randomly assigned.

Walking futher into the Hall, I saw a rare big white bird intruding the units on the 1st floor! Hope I dont get those 1st floor hostels...

After exploring my Hall, it seems alright. Other than the problems created by the construction site, at least the facilities there is much better than those in BMT... lol!

 

But those are only the exterior of the Hall and blocks. The interior of the hostel is yet to be find out after my check-in in the early August.

Went back to base to do my last day of clearance.

Returning my green and getting back my pink on monday. Yeah!
