*praying*

@#%#*$#%

the more i think about it..the most frustrated i get..

where they call me so late!

天意

some call it act of god..

a mth ago or so..it seems so bleak and i really thought nobody wants me..

in a space of 2-3 weeks..i was called up for 6 interviews..went for 3 first and one of them offered the earliest. pretty decent offer and the workplace is damn near my home..so i agreed to it real soon.

the next day after i agreed, 3 more companies called me to ask me to go interviews and my..they are pretty big companies k..but thinking that it might take up to probably another couple of weeks before i get some answers frm them..i therefore rejected all 3 of them for the interview and stuck with the one i agreed on. y not right..its so near and the terms arent tt bad..

the final straw came today..one really big company called mi and just offered me a position..sorta like head hunted i guess..haha..but i had to reject!!! then they sounded quite disappointed which made mi feel even worse~~ i had no choice..i had signed with the first company and will have to pay up a month salary if i decide to back out..i sell everything i have now oso not enough to pay..

haiz..i have been telling or rather, consoling, myself..trying to convince myself that good companies recruit later..haha..i dunno how right i am til now man..now the fact that everyone keep saying don't rush into signing..wait for the right one..it all sounded so risky and all that one should sit back and really wait for a once in a lifetime offer..now it really make sense..

haiz..not tt the one i signed is lousy or wat..its pretty not bad..just that this latest one is probably more prestigious and better prospects..

but you know what..i have managed to console myself yet again with those 2 words..天意..or the all so familiar words always uttered by my B4 neighbour for 3 years.."act of god"

Finally..

I got called up for interviews..don't think i fared badly..so hopefully i get some decent offers..
good luck to me

*ps* not tt i dunwant to upload my US pics here but i cant upload any pics at the moment..dunno wats wrong..

what is happening to everyone???

suddenly when i look at my msn..i saw so many pple with verses and quotes on their nicks..

such as..

"i affixed my gaze upon a triangulation of stars, and became oblivious to the brightest one beyond"

"knowledge of warmth makes its absence colder"

"EVERY SPORTSMAN TRAINS TO GIVE THEMSELVES A CHANCE AT WINNING BUT A TRUE CHAMPION TRAINS TO ELIMINATE THE CHANCE OF LOSING!!"

"Flames to dust.. Lovers to Friends.. Why do all good things come to an end"

"expectation breeds disappointment"

"I'm a Balloon, if you dun hold onto my string i'll float away"

"waste that moment, and you will never put your life back together again"

"an early bird gets worms, but an early worm will be eaten by birds"

"whats the point of being caught in the relentless pursuit of material stuff"

"To Everything there is a Season, A Time to Build and a Time for War! "

is everyone so stressed or what?

When can I play soccer again!!!

its damn sianz lor..pple ask me but no matter how much i wanna say yes, where..what time..i know i just cant let my mind rule my head and so i have to say sorry i still cannot play..

so prof..you better appreciate it...


i was lying dead for 6 hours after i handed up the report and came back to my room..i didnt remember anything that happened during those time..but what i heard was my groupmates came to my room and printed using my printer, phonecalls and conversations i cannot recall, chip come in and out and take my kettle...only god knows what else happened in my room during that time..

still tired....

Finally had a good rest at home..

Recovered from my sleepless nights during the past 2 weeks.

But only to get ready for more sleepless nights ahead.....

From my Honey

Nice right!

Looking for a Job

Not a part time or temporary job....

a real job!! knn..dunno my resume sucks or what...nobody is calling me up man...i applied for quite a few companies already

whole world is applying for jobs..hopefully i'll get one soon...

maybe i should try the career fair at suntec frm tml onwards...then again i still got a lot of work to do..no time no time!!

Extremely busy

havent slept much past week...term papers and presentations and fyp and design project....
they are all very very very time consuming...and mentally draining....
cant blame me for being forgetful and all this period i feel...i am cramping so many things into my brain man...u know how difficult it is to read all those science journals and have to understand what the f**k they're talking about...then have to spend days and nights on the powerpoint and word and excel and adobe only for comp to hang...
hungry nights and no one pities u...lucky i can relax and let go a couple of hrs a day relaxing with the guys with ps2..credit to my honey for getting mi the tv..hhaha..up laH~
tough and still not over yet..not even soon....sucks...
but its ok..i will survive..i'm the man..the bull!!

Finally Champs again..

well done TH..glad i'm leaving hall on a winning note...

came in winning and went off winning...no regrets...

certainly a good experience for the younger ones who havent tasted victory prior to this..but i guess things aren't the same as it was in the past but guess thats the way life is..old things go..new things come...maybe they'll replace the link bridge celebration with something else...

pretty sad the the link bridge thingy is so sloppy..no communications watsoever to ask everyone to come..pple simply went back to their rooms and went for their dance or prod rehearsals..c'mon! i'm sure the victory celebration takes priority over everyother activity!! but thats the older generation's thinking..guess the younger ones have other ideas..well..so be it then..but i really like the feeling at src during the prizing giving..its as close as it gets to the feelin i felt during yr1 and 2...

hope the name and spirit of TH is upheld in years to come..

Proud

TH won back 2 titles after a barren year last season...Great feeling to be cheering and happy for one another..glad to have this missing feeling back again after so long...guess only the yr 3s and 4s understand...the yr1s and 2s don't even know about the link bridge celebration where we sing We are the Champions....sad to know that man....

but anyway i'm really proud to have gotten this!



Thanks girls for making me the champion coach! Credit to all of you~~

Still waiting for someone to initiate the link bridge celebration but i guess its not happening...no one except the old birds know how to co ordinate it...but well..its ok lah..main thing is we won something back..at least left the hall knowing its not on the decline~!

The Gift of Love

i was just scribbling on a piece of post-it about my wishlist..so as to remind myself to save for it and tv was on the list...

Then guess what on V-Day!!


The pictures tell the story doesn't it...NO it doesnt!! haha...it was so funny how she tried to keep the secret from me but couldnt!!

Now i can play my PS2 in my room comfortably!! hahahah....
THANK YOU SO MUCH HONEY!!
LOVE YOU LOTS~!

Ken's Last Birthday in Hall...

...with us at least

The Birthday Boy....act cute once again....hahaha
cutting cake for us...
Wong says he should eat the cake because his singlet and the cake are of the same colour.. ???

Last Year Last Chance

Feel like playing soccer with the guys..

after watching the guys play the ihg matches...but i know better...

dunno how long more before i can sprint and kick...prob 4 mths..prob 6 mths or maybe even a year more...

get well soon bert..

a little more on my thoughts..

i took up the job of girl's soccer coach originally because i torn my knee ligament and meniscus and i knew i wouldnt be able to play in any sports this year but yet i felt like doing something worthwhile and fulfilling.

taking up this job wasn't really that hard a decision to come to because it was something i always wanted to do and try out.

i was a little uncertain at first but it got better as i started to know all of you better and somehow i was able to know what to do with you all during trainings..haha.

winning it as a coach is different from winning it as a player. the sense of fulfilment is different but i really dunno how to describe it. its like as a coach, you'll get heart attacks when watching from outside but i didn't get this feeling when i was playing in last yr's finals against RH. and as a coach, you're always constantly thinking and trying to come up with solutions when things doesn't go right..and it is different from being a player where the solution u try to come up with is how to get past the opponent or how to score the goal. and it gets better when the things you come up with and the decisions u make works!

in the end you all gave me an unforgettable experience..thanks to all of you.

ok..now for my personal favourite moments..

1. huihui's equaliser against KR...we would not have won the tournament without that goal. it would end up having 4 wins and 1 loss and KR with 4 wins and 1 draw. well done lah HH!

2. the way we played against EH..its was purely a treat for the eyes.

3. Kim perpetually keeps getting injured. first the muscle pull..then the knee into the thigh..ouches! hope you're getting better miss crowd favourite. (ok..to clarify..its not my favourite moment that u get injured k..it just means the events i remember more clearly..haha)

4. all the cheers those at the side keep making..it was great.

5. the mud party at the end for me. thanks A4 for helping me with the laundry..hehz

anyway..other than my players..i would like to thank welfare comm, convening comm, some JCRC pple(like PJ and kwan aik) and those who helped out in one way or another.

Probably My Best IHG Moment...

is leading the girl's soccer team to the title...

i've neva blogged about coaching the girl's team till now cause i didnt wanna hype things up or comment on anything or sometimes just being superstitious that if i talk about it before the tournament we won;t win..etc etc etc.

now that everything's over and we've brought back the gold..its time to let my thoughts out..

anyway firstly i would like to unroll the scroll of honour..

Congratulations to you all..you all have won it for the team for the hall and for yourselves..i'm sure its always a memorable experience to win something..esp something that you worked hard for. and also congrats for being the clear cut soccer champs for the 1st time(no penalties or whatsoever to decide the champ)..and the 1st time for beating EH.

On sunday, what i saw wasn't simply soccer players in all of you..i saw warriors..fighting every moment you are on the battlefield. Words cannot describe how proud I am of all of you. Its an honours to be able to have all of you as my players and to be your coach. Its true when I keep saying that having you all make my job easier. Its every coaches' dream to be able to have players always willing to listen and improve and willing to go the extra mile.

I can safely say safe all of you deserve the medal that you all have won. Not just those who played a big part..everyone of you! My only regret was that I am unable to play everyone of you and not give everyone as much playing time as I would have liked to. And also not being able to have everyone who joined to be in the first 18. Hope you all will forgive me for this, i did everything i could and what i thought and felt was for the best for the team. But i must say that no one should belittle their own contributions. Each one of you was chosen by me specially because i saw something in you and that you are able to contribute to the team. By turning up for trainings and doing what i've instructed..you have already made the difference.

I know many people joined soccer originally for many different reasons. for some,its ur passion, for some its because tts what you're good at, for some its to learn something new, for some its to accompany your friends or make new friends, for some its simply to get some CCA points...but whatever the reason is..i'm sure you all went away learning something and became a richer person.

I'm very glad to see how our team have evolved since last year till now. How strangers became teammates and friends..how a group of diferrent people are able to get organised and work together to achieve a common goal..and how you all improved over this period of time to be worthy of being the IHG champions.

once again..congratulations to all of you and wish you all the very best next yr.

Inspirational Thierry Henry...

'When you look at the first goal against United it was all about desire. The way that Cesc Fabregas and Tomas Rosicky fought for the ball was tremendous.'

'The whole move was about desire and commitment. But it is a team game and if you want to achieve anything then you need to work as a team. We are doing that at the moment.'


Words from a really inspirational leader and captain of a tremendous team...

i love watching arsenal but i still love Newcastle.. =>

Proud

My honey is very proud of herself...


...because she managed to steal a roll of toilet paper for me...


well done!

Nice to see you after so long...

round off - edited with interview with Sir Alex

to round off my 5 post for the day....here's the highlights from the newcastle vs man u match..look at the fans go wild..wish i was part of it man..



Article from Newcastle's Official website at http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~949738,00.html

Sir Alex: Well Done Toon

MANCHESTER United boss Sir Alex Ferguson left St. James' Park with nothing but praise for Newcastle United after the New Year's Day encounter between the sides finished 2-2.

Leading through a James Milner rocket, the Magpies had to come from behind with a goal on his home debut by teenage defender David Edgar to ensure Paul Scholes' brace wasn't the matchwinning contribution.

Glenn Roeder was again without a dozen senior players for such a tough match, but his opposite number Fergie complimented the injury-hit Toon squad after a result many were not forecasting before the game.

The Red Devils missed a chance to open up a nine-point lead over Chelsea at the top of the Premiership table, and Sir Alex said: "I don't think we played as well as we have done in recent weeks simply because Newcastle didn't allow us to play," he added.

"They wanted to be first to every ball, showed determination and character. I've got nothing but praise for them.

"We missed a stack of chances but I have got to admire the spirit and determination of the Newcastle team.

"They deserved their point without question. When they put in that kind of effort they prove that it's not an easy place to come to now."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

nothing is more satisfying then making your opponent acknowledge your efforts..

I always have a lot of thoughts in my mind

but i never really let them out.......

because sometimes when i do..i regret the consequences..so i guess i better keep my mouth shut..but sometimes i just do it anyway hoping for the greater good...but then again i think i might be better off keeping my mouth shut....

Quotes on friends...

many many quotes i heard on friendships...but the one that really hit me was the one a very good friend of mine from VS said to me...

"a friend in need is a friend in deed"..

probably doesn't make much sense english wise but i'm sure the way when we say it gives us the idea what it means...

what i make out of this (and what you make out of it) would probably sound like this...

"a friend who comes to ur aid when you are in need is thus a true friend"

and i think this is pretty much nothing new to pple but as i think about it..i realise that you can extend it abit...

think about those times ur fren helps u out when u are in need..and when times go sour because of whatever happened..these thoughts have a profound effect on healing those wounds in ur heart...cause pretending that nothing has happened only serves to hear the wounds further apart..

works for me hope it works for you...

Thoughts

I'm really proud of Newcastle's spirit sometimes..

the recent match against man u reminded me of the times under bobby robson..especially the season we ended up 3rd...when we went down..we always fought back against the odds...

seeing newcastle bringing fight into their spirit lifts me too somehow..who says supporting soccer clubs are silly...its a passion on true fans in the heart understands...

sometimes pple ask me..why newcastle..they're not even good...i really do not know how to explain..how do u explain passion....

do u know how hard it is to not be able to do things that you are passionate about??? no matter how hard you try to minimise that lousy feeling..it won't eliminate it...

i really wanna play soccer again..

Anti Learning...

Having took HR2002 and learnt about anti-learning behaviour......

I tend to realise how prevalent this behaviour is in so many people...even myself even though i try to always conscious about it...

well..at least i know i'm trying to avoid this behaviour...

an advice...always hear it but no one uses it...when sth doesn't go your way and you don't get your intended results...and it doesn't happen just once..is it the luck of others or is it a personal lack of effort and techinique..i guess the answer u choose probably will show what kind of person you are...

i once chose the wrong answer..i'm not gonna make the same mistake twice...

A Bad Year for Doggies?

Read Lilian Too's (a supposedly damn good feng shui person) book for Dogs in 2007...

she tells of dogs, esp those born in 1982, having a rough year ahead. and it is pretty much caused by themselves..cause this yr we have a lot of chi bbuild up around us..or sth lidat we causes us to be riled easily and quick tempered. Tend to let emotions rule over us and over dramatize things.

looking at what happened so far in the new year..looks to be true..

i guess we better calm down find some inner peace and keep our cool...

you've been warned...

A Peaceful New Year

Didn't go for any countdowns or parties or whatsoever...

spent the weekend at home and with my honey...the most relaxing and peaceful way to go into the new year..haha...

I liked it this way..been to all the happening things in the past..felt i had enough of those..they burn holes in your pockets as well..hah..so just as well...

once again we had a lovely dinner during new year's eve at my honey's place..bought plain cheese pizza at the newly opened Fairprice Xtra at Ang Mo Kio...pretty good hypermarket..and lotsa offers during the first wk of opening specially for this store only..anyway back to our dinner..den we bought picnic ham and pineapples and together with the leftover smoked salmon from xmas..we topped the pizzas to make salmon pizza and hawaiian..haha..taste really good..as good as those u buy outside..haha..

and so we counted down at home with a bottle of champange too..watching the live telecast of the countdown from vivocity..the performances were lousy!! jade seah and jaime teo looked pretty bad too..so didn't really like the show..

anyway newcastle's see saw performances is back again..looks like its gonna be 3 losses in a row..at bolton..at bolton and possibly to man u a few hours later...well..lets hope another bobby robson comes along soon enough..
