Yesterday was my job anniversary. So fast I've work for 1 yr. In 1 day there's 24 hrs, 1 week 7 days. Every morning 0630 wake up and 1930 reach home. These 13hrs I cannot do anything to it. It's all spent on travelling to work, working and back to home. I've only 11hrs left. 7 I spent on sleeping. Left with 4 hours. Only these 4 hours are the time which I can control. Live is so short. That's the partially the reason why I seldom blog. On average spent 1hr for each simple blog - thinking and editing.
About my job. I love my current job at st John MAC. I like the working timing (quite short actually, work is done only on the island), environment(clean n nice air), colleagues(really nice people to hang out with), workload(mostly physical work, it's like a gym to me - I love it). No stress nor dislike. In fact everyday I'm looking forward to work to see how the fish are, how much fish will be left, how big they grow and so on. But I'll leave my job by the end of this year. Mainly because of the salary. No matter how hard I work, I know that my pay increase $90 yearly and I can calculate how much I'll earn for the next ten year. I'm a hard working person. I'm gonna find a job which can allow me to earn as much as how much effort I put in. Maybe Insurance, Property or Broker? A step of faith.
Actually I learn alot from this simple workplace in st John island. Even simple thing like drinking a cup of water. The water from tap sometimes secrete white substance from it. Two things I've learn from this. 1 Watch before u put anything into your mouth. 2 Never take things for granted, be grateful we have fresh clean water in Singapore.
Working here definitely change my life. Since after I leave my secondary school until I leave army, I seldom speak English. I cannot barely speak a proper complete sentence. Very bad. At my work place, I got lots of Malay and Indian worker and I have relearn how to speak English. Ever since I work here, , I would spent time to learn to drive, read books and newspaper, play a guitar and cooking during my off days. I also have the time to visit my granny and have lunch with her. I also also got to know god only after working here. Definitely I've learn and experince alot. Change is part of growing up.
What I've done - Really cant think of anything much. For movie I watched Transformers and The Bourne Ultimatum. I think Transformers the computer graphics very good and I slept for 1 hour while watching The Bourne Ultimatum. It could be due to the mahjong that morning that's why I slept during the movie. Somemore the screen was so shaky which made my eyelids even heavier. For nice food, I would recommend Clementi Ave 3 Blk 328 the claypot rice($10). Very nice. I went to Ding Tai Feng to eat. It's nice but I dun think there's anything very outstanding. It quite expensive too (fried rice $9.50 without 17% service charge). Went Bedok Blk85 market eat the Ba Chop Mee($2) and Oyster Omelet. Standard went down by alot. Just like the STI these recent weeks.
Oh ya that Stew Pig Odex company. I hate that company. Please do not receive any files from msn with verify with the sender. It maybe a virus.
My Horoscope
You are The Chariot
Triumph, Victory, Overcoming Obstacles.
The chariot is one of the most complex cards to define. On its most basic level, it implies war, a struggle, and an eventual, hard-won victory. Either over enemies, obstacles, nature, the beasts inside you, or to just get what you want. But there is a great deal more to it. The charioteer wears emblems of the sun, yet the sign behind this card is the moon. The chariot is all about motion, and yet it is often shown as stationary. It is a union of opposites, like the black and white steeds. They pull in different directions, but must be (and can be!) made to go together in one direction. Control is required over opposing emotions, wants, needs, people, circumstances; bring them together and give them a single direction, your direction. Confidence is also needed and, most especially, motivation. The card can, in fact, indicate new motivation or inspiration, which gets a stagnant situation moving again.

Really very busy for the past 5 weeks. Studying my M9 test. Yet I failed. T_T .... Got 2 summons within a week. Arggghhh... Never struck the 5 million toto. Not very good weeks.
Hmmm... But during the past weeks, been to a OBS camp at Pulau Ubin($15) with a bunch of colleagues. It was heavily subsidise. We were separated from each other and were mixed with different groups of people from other government ministries. The OBS I went is meant for people of all ages(working adults from 20+ to 50). The obstacles there pose not much of a challenge. Seriously I felt no excitement going through all these. Yet I enjoyed it very much. Haha. It's the group of people that I'm with makes it so interesting. Most of the people there never tried things like rock climbing, flying fox, kayaking and water jump.
For the rock climbing, it was really simple flat wall. It took about 1-2 mins for a guy to clear. When the girls were climbing, everyone were busy giving instruction and cheering. Some of them made it and the amount of time take varies from 3 mins to 10 mins.
For the Flying Fox, it was really slow. I estimate the speed of coming down is the same as driving 1st gear on the road. But amazingly still got people screaming while doing that. Haha.
The water jump is like a plank sticking out of the sea (like those in pirates movie), then jump into the sea from there. By the time group went was in the afternoon. It was high tide at that point of time and the plank was just 3m above sea level. There were some girls who cant swim. But yet they still jump. They scream as they jump, drinking seawater. Haha. But I'm sure it's something special or unforgettable for them. It something like overcoming fear and a whole new experience. Overall I find the whole OBS trip quite meaningful and enjoyable because it show how people can overcome their fears by words of encouragement and trust. I'm sure if all these obstacles take place during my NS, it'll be a boring and meaningless one. That why I feel that the group of people that I'm with is also quite important. Such simple activity can make it an enjoyable one.

I been missing from the computer these days. Someone even sms me if I'm still alive. Haha. I'm not dead yet. Recently I've been studying for the M9 insurance book. Haiz... 26 Chapters. So far manage to study only 6 chapters. Trying to restrict myself to use the com for only 2hrs a week. So hard. But I did it. While studying, I was still finding a quiet place to study. I found a reading room in Zheng Hua Community Centre. Nice environment. But it only open till 10pm.
This week I tried the dunno what Japanese flavor KFC. Although it look like normal KFC chicken with a few very small and thin strips of seaweed, the taste is different. Very nice and it's worth to try.

My com spoil during Thursday nite. Last week was horrible. Had to work for 5 days with an overnite. Tiring. Cant remember much except I went to Aquarama 2007. Keeping an aquarium was one of my favorite hobby. That's why I chose to work at my current job. Taking care of fish can be relaxing. But when there are hundred thousands of them, that is when pleasure become pain. Hmmm... There was a night I went driving alone. I was feeling cold and didn't bother to switch on the air-con. Initially it was abit blur. I thought it was due to my night blindness. After sometime whole windscreen got blurred so badly that I could see the vehicle in front. I could only see the different colors of traffic light, rear light and signal light. I couldn't see the side mirror either. I then manage to drive into a carpark and clear the mist.
Things I eat this week - Cant remember much except Fish and Co the New York Fish chip ($14.90). It nice. My friend ordered the normal Fish and chip($13.90). There was no difference. The only difference was that there was this America Flag on top on my lemon.

Hmmm... Had not been blogging recently. My brother girlfriend went to Vietnam and he is using the com.
Monday Off Day. Drove to a coffee shop in Hougang near blk 636. Cant remember what I had. The only thing I remember that the rojak was horrible and drink the "Anything". After that attended a wake.
Tuesday. Today was fish sale. It was my second trip to the floating farm near Lim Chu Kang. Only today I had the chance to get on the farm. When I got on the farm, there was this horrible stench. Surprisingly this smell was not the smell from fish but dogs. There were 30+ Husky on the farm. I didnt expect to see so many dogs and puppy. Those husky were breed by the farmer and most probably he would be selling them. I thought husky were supposed to stay in air conditioned place. But these husky were playing happily under the scorching sun and enjoying the sea breeze.
Wednesday and Thursday working.
Friday, I went fishing at st John with my friends. The weather was bad and we had to cancel the fishing. Fortunately there was an empty chalet and spent the night in inside playing board games. Actually that chalet was rumoured to be very haunted. But looking at how contented my friends were enjoying themselves, I didnt told them. Haha. Nobody felt or encountered any supernatural things.
Saturday morning went to Maxwell market for breakfast. Eat the Oyster Cake($2) and drink the horlick soya bean milk ($1). Both are very nice. After that went to Clementi gym and went swimming. At the Clementi Singapore Sports Council(SSC), there was this Goodie Grab coupons. I bought the $10 coupon. It includes - 10 entries to Clementi Swimming Pool, 3 entries to gym + a $5 off for selected SSC fitness course. It's quite worth it.

Thursday off day. At noon went the S-11 building next to centrepoint for lunch. Had Nasi Lemak on the second storey. Nice. After that went to buy a guitar string for my bro. Bad driving day. At a junction I lazy to change to a lower gear as the traffic light turn green. As a result, the van died and I had to restart it. It somehow annoyed my father.
Friday working.
Saturday went to my aunt house. She cooking Laksa, Oneh Oneh and Shao Mi. I like Shao Mi. It's a combination a mince pork, shrimp, hard boil egg wrapped in dumpling skin. After that attended my granny Mahjong workshop. Dinner went to Thomson to eat Zi Char. The Tofu and deer meat was very nice.
Sunday working. Happy Mother Day.

Sunday I celebrate mother's day in advance. My cousin had to go overseas and on mother day I had to work overnite. Went to a coffee shop near Bukit Batok CC to eat. Nothing great. After that company my granny play mahjong. My mum sat beside me to guide me. Yet I still lose. I'm just a mahjong noob. My granny asked me to go to her house again this Saturday to learn more.
Monday working. At night I drove the van all by myself from my house to Gombak Mrt.
Tuesday working overnite.
Wednesday working. Hmmm... Today went to office to find out how much bonus will be getting. Getting bonus should be a happy thing. It's like if there's no bonus, we just a our month pay. Initially everyone was happy, knowing that we'll get half month bonus. But after hearing someone got a 1 month bonus, there were people feeling abit unhappy. Hmmm... Strange right? Get bonus also can get frustrated, disappointed and unhappiness. Something to think about.
