Anything to blog about... ?

Feelings and emotions.. changes faster than the weather..

Appraisal and such.. Wedding

Had my job appraisal done last sat,
Boss was frank and direct on many points.
Told me to look out for 2 areas of concerns.
Managing the project, and spending more time to do planning and job assignment
I have reasons why these adminstrative thingys are lacking,
but who knows about my situation? who understands my difficulties?
Learning to accept what had is not ideal.

Someday life will be better! Someday.. is today :)

Blissful are coupls who have found their other halves! :D

Today is Effe's and Lukman's wedding.
Thanks to them, our sailors brothers and sisters gets to meet again!
Wishing the couple, blissful marriage and may they always be there for each other,
no matter thick or thin :)

The lovely couple since JC days

Other happenings...

Time to wake up and shake up..
Chasing after wind.. meaningless..

Surprise surprise

Today, I had my second bike lesson,
eh, actually repeat of my first disaster lesson.
When I reached there.. wah.. only 2 learners,
so a moment i thought die liao. today sure fail again with such dedicated instructor attention.
The instructor was nice, he asked us to carry on practice on our own!!
The best part is the instructor Mr voon, took us to "speed" and play stun in the driving circuit!! hahaha i never knew riding can be such fun! we went zig zagging at high speed, amazingly, it did fantastically to improve our skills over the circuit.
The rest of the time, I can feel my bike handling improving. Yippy!

And.. at the end..
Mr voon said:
"I want all of you to come back..."
Our heart sunk...
"For the next lesson.."

Talk about scaring abt exams results!










See the instructors playing stuns, just like simpang circuit, only that, this is in BBDC


Happily i went home.. when i opened the door when I reached home..
Surprise surprise... My cousins, nephews and nieces are over at my place!
haha.. i always enjoy myself playing with them. It is such enjoyable company! keke

My cousin and her lovely Charmaine :D

Lol.. best smile I have seen from Cheryl!

There there, trying to playing hide and seek with me

Back to sch..

Back to biking sch today

Like many first days, today is the most blur,
First I forgotten to bring my student booklet,
Then I thought i was taking the theory class today,
Went into the room, then realise sala..
Rush rush to see the instructor,
Then realise forgot to bring gloves,
Got onto a super 4,
The bike is so uncomfortable to ride,
cos the heat from the engine really makes riding annoying,
I had forgotten all about handling a manual bike,
Going up the plank and pilon seems so hard all over again.
lol.. but it is nice and fun to be back to school again!

Plans plans plans..

From now till july,
I was suppose to be planning for 2 big events,
One is a cooperate event for scholarship presentation,
Goodness, I am totally clueless with how to proceed,
Plus time is not on my side.

The second is to plan a trip to kinabalu,
Personal trip, but had been sitting on it..
I must remind myself,
even though it is ok for me to go for trips totally unplanned and spontaneuos
This is no way to bring a group of people.

Oki oki.. there are certainly more bo liao things that is constantly on my mind..
tons of ppl had scolded me already.
but for certain matters, I guess we just dun have control over.

Sleepless nights and restless days

Been almost 2 weeks since the last entry,
Time indeed flies,
For the past weeks and months,
Sleepless nights and restless days persisted,
Many doubts lingered in the mind,
Many hopes and also much fears,
From where may I find solace,
From where will I find shelter,
Just for a little consolation,
Just for a little comfort,
Looking for a wonderous smile..
a warm embrace..

Reflection of the days gone passed..

May 15 2006... Looking back at the past one year since graduation,
Leaving each day to work before the sunrise and coming home after sun set,
Each day comes and go, quickly, leaving little traces in the sand of time.

Looking back at the past one year, I had made some good friends, had ups and downs in relationship, saw a few of my own classmates tying the knots. I have got myself a second hand X9 (scooter), did lasiks, been to see a democologist, got new credit cards, new got a SE K750i. I was fortunate that I was able to travel to Vietnam, just after graduation and to go for white water rafting in KL during December 2005. I had also met with some new and eye opening experiences.

Reflecting the pass and looking forward.
Half of 2006 had passed already.
Will continue to strive and learn in the coming daes..

Introduction, then upset

Humans at work

Gosh, another week passed quickly,
Work doesn't seems to get better.
Troubles come from the things you said.
A superior got pissed with me because he is unable to get his things done,
and gets me to acknowledge my weakness and play along his game.
Thus, I have been getting caustic words and remarks in almost every engagement with him.
If this goes on, work can only becomes harder and more difficult.

Match Making and friendship
Ling was so happy last evening after attending her friend's wedding dinner.
Happily she msg me, telling me that she like to introduce her friend.
I really appreciate her kindness,
but I think I had upset her in some ways,
we talked and discussed from 11pmtill 3 am.
I guess if Ling had wanted me to felt what she felt.
she did a good job, and I was not a bit sensible about damage control.

At the end of the day, I thank her for her friendship,
Her sincerity, and thoughtfulness.
Ling's is indeed a frank and direct person,
In human relationships, we need to be brave and yet sensitive to each other.

I am so glad for the people I met in my life!

Attitude and tone and approach are essentials,
I shall continue to humble myself, and continue to learn how to relate better to others.

Election 2006

This has got to be the most interesting weekend since a long long time.
The reason.. It is General Election 2006!!

9 days of campaigning had been disappointing on the ruling party side with little more than character assasinating James Gomez.

Ling convinced me to turn up for the WP rally at Serangoon Stadium. Together with Vik, my laoda who taught me so much. We creep/ gate crash / westle our way into the stadium. when the police try to close the gate on the crowd.. The crowd roared thunderously and chanted " Worker's Party! Worker's Party!"

Infact, there were so many people.. the stadium simply cann't fit them in.

What more can I say, Singapore Idol wannabes would have died to have this kind of attention

Coming home on friday evening .. picked up the Thursday papers.. Heading reads:
A Dominating PAP is the secret to Singapore's success... hmm, has success indeed got air into the head of our leaders?

Came sat, polling began. Towards a more stable political system, is the reason for my choice. I believe for a country to be inclusive, citizens must be able to speak without fear or favour. More so should our political leaders should be. Being under party whip and toeing the party line, certainly requires one to be extremely brave to voice their opinion. Therefore only one way for alternative views to be expressed, through those whose entry into the parliament does not need to depends on the favour of the ruling party. I have spoke my piece. One view out of thousands of reasons why and how people choose and vote.

Soon the result was announce in the evening, Viktor had sms me all the results as they came in cos I was outside attending a friend's wedding. First result, Hou gang, LTK won with a resounding victory of 63%! then Chiam ST made a come back with raised margin of 58%, testifying his personal charms in his ward and the deep respect people have for him. AMK garner 66%. It is true that voters held different yard sticks for the ruling party and the opposition. The true measure of victory is in the hearts of the people, not merely what is presented in the media.

Aftermath of election:
The tide and sentiments are changing, the cycles of history repeats itself. While human affairs are rarely predictable, wise words from the past says..

Observant Government
An observant and perceptive government is one that looks at subtle phenomena and listens to small voices. When phenomena are subtle they are not seen, and when voices are small they are not heard; therefore an enlightened leader looks closely at the subtle and listens for the importance of the small voice.

This harmonizes the outside with the inside, and harmonizes the inside with the outside; so the Way of government involves the effort to see and hear much.

Thus when you are alert to what the people in the lower echelons have to say, and take it into consideration, so that your plan include the rank and file, then all people are your eyes and a multitude of voices helps your ears. This is the reason for the classic saying, “A sage has no constant mind - the people are the sage’s mind.”

I think Mr Goh indeed has done this remarkably well!

Another Wedding.. Another Fairy tale~

Teresa'a Wedding At Conrad Centennial Singapore On 6 May 2006

Cann't believe our darling Girl Captain Teresa is Married!! My dearest partner in the team, without whose support and encouragement, we would not be the team we were.

Teresa, has always been the source of quiet strong support, in face of the difficulties and pressure our teachers Naomi and Charles put on us. Her demere manners and ever strong spirits is an inspiration to all of us. Thus, she partnering Alina are the best 420 sailors we had, fiercely determined holding the team together. What would we do without this lovely darling.

She met her husband Jeng Kai while studying over board in london. I first saw them because they came to send me off to Norway 2 years ago. They are simply made for each other. Jeng Kai is a cheerful and friendly man. Both of them have eyes which speaks a thousand words. Their courtship journey was a fairy tale~ inspiring.. Love at first sight after a dance in london.. Separated for years before meeting up again back in Singapore. What more can I say... but wish them both eternal bliss and happiness~ :D

Well done girl!

Can you spot where she is?


Bevy of beauty in our team across the batches
