August 2008

almost one month since I last blogged..

not much has happened. loads of projects waiting for me to complete, which means after report after report. But I still can managed, the load is just right. Maybe thats the working culture here. everyone helps each other out. But I cant judge because I haven been working back in Singapore. Maybe you guys can tell me... =)

some stuffs did happened at home.. and also at work. some suffered, some got hurt, some emerged victorious. but the summary is, the issues showed us the truth of each and everyone and how him or her shows her strength or weakness. as my bro says, Life only makes us stronger.

same thing can be said be about me, I've been trying to sell my car and I must say, I'm not doing a good job, not cut out to do sales.. but nevertheless, i hope this gives me the opportunity to learn about this trade.

oh yeah, who can forget Olympics > some of the memories

- great opening ceremony, impressive performance, shows the world the power of having a huge huge population;

- congrats to the Team Singapore who won a table tennis silver against the mighty Chinese. Should I mention that the whole table tennis team are from China. still they get the money. put Singapore on the map;

- Stephanie Rice - glamour swimmer from Australia > being called Special Fried Rice in China;

- Michael Phelps - 8 gold medals out of 8 events. What does defeat or even silver taste like? Never tried Before;

- Germany weightlifter who won gold and the world record and dedicated the win to his wife who passed away in a car crash last year > goose bumps whenever i see the video;

- The Jamaican sprinters.. wowz!

- Takewando sportsman from Cuba kicked a ref.. disgraceful > ought to be ban for life

all right, i think thats it for August.

Take care guys and enjoy Spring!

Hunter Valley trip

My goal to continue travelling to another part of the world:
Hunter Valley trip last Saturday.
Finally, had the chance to travel up north to the wine county of new south wales.
not a bad experience, get to see country life and also experience wine tasting, beer tasting, cheese tasting and a chocolate festival.
With a better planning, I'm sure it would be better next time. 2nd time again.sadly.
is a good trip nevertheless.. Ski Trip next..

2nd Week July

supposed to be a weekly entry for updates..

missed out on last week. nothing much as well actually. work was good.. boss was on holidays..

this week.. World Youth Day.. for those who doesnt know what is the day or rather the week is about, let me fill you in.

World Youth Day means:

-The Pope is coming!

-Traffic is going to be real bad cos they are closing several roads in the city from 10am to 12 midnight for pilgrims from around the world to have a celebration

-Public are encouraged to leave their car at home and take the public transport. With an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 (that's what they estimated or rather over-estimated) tourists from around the world.. public transport will be stuffed up as well.

- it is going to be a inconvenient week with regards to travelling around Sydney.

I'm gonna set a different target/change my goal for the later part of the year. Which means saving up more money and spending it on something useful, not just on fun, food and petrol.

To those who haven not watched Cloverfield.. Don't watch it..

To those who have yet to watch Hancock.. recommended!

The Dark Knight will be another one I will be watching.. looks good.

Weather is pretty cold over here.. Chilling will be the word for description.

Learning a program call Paramics for the last 2 weeks, traffic modelling program. So far, pretty interesting setting up the network, we'll see once the matric calibration process comes in.

take care everyone, especially my family members! all of you, please take care of urself!

Week-In-Review

if there is week to be forgotten, I don't mind that to be last week.

it was a long long week, where almost everything that I did at work went the wrong way.

not that there were a lot of tasks to do, but I've got a few proposals, a lunchtime presentation and a traffic modelling job to handle.

proposals is never my thing till today. I really hope I can improve in that aspect. And the boss was not exactly helpful for last week as well. Anyway, I'm done with that, I'm done with June.

Pay day soon and hope for a much better 2nd half of the year.

Btw, Lunchtime presentation was all right. Once again, all thanks to the patience and guidance of Denise. pulled through this one. It was a session on the training I had whilst I was in Melbourne. Designing of Car Park.

Brother proposed last saturday. in a very romantic way. If you are reading this. good on you Bro. Time for preparation for the big day. never too early to start. Gotta save up first though!

Life in Australia is still all right. apart from missing my family and not nagging my dad about his knee, everything down under is not too bad at the moment.

FEAR, when somethings go wrong, it has to be due to Fear, at least for me.. I've got to overcome that and I think that's where I'm going to improve as a person.

Anyways, good luck to all.

Grandma> take care of your leg;

Dad> take care of your leg;

Bro> take care of your leg;

Mum> take care of urself to take care of them;

Sis> take care of urself to take care of mum to take care of them and enjoy your after-exams period. I can sense more TPH is coming;

Me> I will take care of myself, not to worry for those at home; and

Denise> take care of me to take care of you.

"all things happens for a reason, i hope I can find the reason for last week's event"!

Too Long....

too long to blog?
thanks Denise for the previous blog. photos that brought back loads of memories

during this time that i was missing, here are some of the updates..

nothing really exciting happened.. =)
went melbourne to work on some projects and do some training at the same time...
NSW won the State of Origin even though they were not the favourites.
and Manchester United, European Champions for the 3rd time.. after a nail-biting match
woke up at 4.30am to watch the match till 8am.. it was a good match.. long since I last watch a good match and a result which favoured me.

As denise had pointed out in http://www.rkd3glory.blogspot.com/ , many many things are happening in the world. bad things though.. murder, war, cyclones, sex scandal, earthquake.

hopefully everybody above us can bless us with peace, safety and great health

cheers guys
until next time

*everything happens for a reason, WE made it happened*
