j-league

its been quite awhile since i last chatted with ben. especially now when he's stationed in kuala lumpur, hard to sit down for a coffee though. i met him via msn this morning and was msn-ing with him. you know, everytime i chatted with ben, he will always have exciting story which will make me really envy him. this time no exception.

i noticed his head-title for his msn was something along this line - he was in japan, hiroshima. then after msn-ing with him, realized that currently he's doing j-league club assessment! guys, imagine this, you're paid to walk around famous j-league clubs, rubbing shoulders with well-known players like endo, ogasawara, nakamura, just to name a few, and e fabulous deal, watch "live" j-league games which is considered e best in asia!

well, not just this japan's trip, ben has been constantly travelling around asia for world-class futbol actions. to e best of my knowledge, he has been to uzbekistan, syria, china to follow up on
asian youth championship and gosh, he was in south africa recently for some world cup duty! don't ask me if i wish to be like him, those who know me will give you a definite answer. i am keeping all options open, not as though i've not asked him for a job at afc before!

long bus ride

zeng-hu *hokkien* made statement annoucing to e whole of singapore that they are stopping all long distance bus services. haiz... in fact long distance bus ride is my favourite sia. soon no more liao lor.

sometime early last year or much earlier, i still blogged about how much i missed e dayz where i took bus 51 all e way from buona vista back to hougang. back then, i would listen to my cd player while reading my japanese futbol magazine. this was always e routine for years. e time which i've spent alone on e long bus ride, watching trees and houses moving past me, made me reflected on alot of things such as life, futbol, chiobu and etc. i really miss those long bus ride. ain't much longer though.

when zeng hu made e statement, that means that they mean business. goodbye long ride. i think singaporean will have one lesser method of doing "brain-yoga" now. anyone understand what i'm writing here?? haiz...

ubin for e fourth time

ever since client services alumni recreation club (csarc) was established in year 2007, this was e fourth time i cycled at pulau ubin. truthfully say, cycling is not really my forte but none of e member would disagree with what im gonna say here - i really enjoy e accompany of each and every one who was involved at e island!

attendance for e trip was not exceptionally overwhelming. e laughters and sweat gathered were more than enough to fill e air yesterday! weather was real damn warm, no doubt, but overall it was really an enjoyable session at e north-east island!

ironically, csarc was started by me and sam in early year 2007. it all started by a simple after-work jogging session. gradually, jon and e ladies joined in. we would have regular jogging session down e stretch of boat quay, nicholl highway, swimming at suntec city level-5, k-lunch during working days, various makansutra-like gatherings and etc. e group expanded beyond control till we realized that e guys are slowly leaving e company and eventually e word "alumni" came into e picture.

construction worker OR engineer?

taking my initiative to another new level. today i went onsite for fam-tour. how to describe e experience at e on-going construction marina bay sands? dusty, muddy, endless flights of stair, unbearable torturing warm weather, dangling nobody-care electrical cables, free 'n' easy roam/sleep around workers, red white tapes, fire alarm testing voice over and over and over and over and over and over again and again and again and again.... spent nearly 5hrs onsite and i'm totally drained out after that.

despite putting on something not familiar on myself like a striking vest, rubber shoes and helmet, i am still feeling excited over e whole project as per my first day of work. there's this moment where i was standing at level-5 ballroom foyer looking out, i saw suntec singapore - i think i miss e place where i grew up. hey, don't be sensitive guys, its just a comment.

so how to destress? tell you what, i've just signed up for a "HOW TO COPE WITH STRESS" seminar at suntec singapore on 10 april. this is a channel newsasia seminar which yun-jie is running though. i came to know about this talk through e tv ad and i believe it will be useful. listen to what e experts have to say, who knows i might really improve e way of how i can cope with e stress! for those who are interested, please approach sistics for more information!

blackberry blogging?

first week

this lovely boy here has survived e very first week at his new workplace. despite just 7days into my new job, i have unintentionally notice e different working traits in e american establishment. imagine my boss dropped us an email half an hour prior to knocking off timing, saying "TGIF, nothing to do and you may leave for e day, have a great weekend, see you next week!". truthfully say, this is e first time i've experienced such a kind note from a boss!

e fellow colleagues there in my department (MICE) are kind and friendly except a couple of ladies who don't seems to SMILE even if I took e initiative to smile at them, f**k it... my first day was awesome too. I walked into e office, was introduced to my desk and right round my visible vicinity, many familiar faces welcomed me like, roy, subash, saun, brenda, rebecca and etc.. e list goes on, i saw bernard, my campmate working with e IT team, i saw e other guy (don't know his name) working as a VIP host under casino section, saw peter, of my my futbol friends, working at casino call center and lots more. when you gather 10,000 people together at a workplace, i think that's what you will be expecting - meeting tonnes of familar faces under one roof!

i'm looking forward to this weekend. i will have a good rest and comes monday, i will be commencing my clietn interaction, email correspondence, discussion, meeting and whatever you call it, I am starting to WORK this coming monday! most probably some of my friends are waiting for my update here, and there you go!

thank you suntec singapore

chinese there's this saying "一眨眼很快就过去", simply say everything passes with just a blink. i am officially a suntec alumni now. when i think about e times which i've spent at e centre, it's really nothing but just fond memories. it's only today where i really feel slight hallow and lonely - realizing that i've got no one to la-kopi with, no one to lunch together and no one to say "hi, busy today?" sort of things e moment my eyes caught up with a familiar face in e centre.

grown up shouldn't say that! it's part and parcel of life where i'm closing a chapter here with my beloved centre while commencing a new one at e other side of e bay. farewell is always hard, especially after so many donkey years, but life goes on. in fact, for those who followed me, my life, this far, should congrat me though! hurray! i am finally moving on to a greener pasture!

e hardest and saddest part of this whole departuring was probably e first few days after my tendering and e last few days towards e end. i remembered peihong-jie approached me, describing how sad she was when she first heard of my resignation. her eyes were teary while we were chatting. all i could do then was to stop her from going further - i felt e calling of e tears too. won't forget e advices which our nagger mr. koh has given me. as a matter of fact, mr. koh is e one who has given or literally provided me with what i've got today! from education to promotion.... he has never stopped giving me advancement.

there are so many people in suntec singapore whom i'm gonna thank however those sincere thank you notes are not easy to pen down in this entry. last week, i've sent out numerous emails expressing my gratitude to clients, contractors, acquaintances and friends. usually i am a talkative man with many many words. in this instance, my brain is shut, my mouth is stuffed with invisible doughnuts and my ten fingers suddenly lost all their memories - they couldn't recognize e alphabets on e keyboards! eventually, a simple thank you note was still penned and i really hope that e names which i've included in e email would be able to receive that.

whatever i need to do, i've done. towards e last few days, i've been trying to replay all e wonderful moments which i have had while working in e centre. my memory will never fail to dig out e kuali segment. till now, i would still remember e laughters and tears which we've all shared at level-1. and now i've got another new set of fond memory which i've gonna upload to my tiny brain! that's e client services segment! few years down e road, i'm certain that i might forget some of you who i used to share e same laughters and tears with, however rest assured that i'll keep all e photos which we've taken during my tenure to refresh myself!

so much has been written, i've got enough. i thank everyone who i've met during my years in centre, i thank everyone who has given me guidance, cooperation and confidence. i thank everyone who has given me a reason to smile when i think of suntec singapore. i will never forget e great times in e office. and finally, i will never forget e feeling of putting on a suntec singapore uniform when i was 17yrs old!

变动

好精彩。每天都有新鲜事，有变动。

慢慢的我觉得我的决定是对的。

说到了“对”，你又怎么知道你是对的呢？

“郡”之解答:

当我做了一个不伤害任何人或自己的决定而不感到亏欠或内疚。。。

他娘的那就是对的！

昨天再次收到震撼的消息。

其实也还好，还说不上“倒吸一口凉气”！（哈哈）

可能我已经处在“不干林北的事”的状态，有趣都变无趣。

倒数继续。。。
