26th January 2007, early in the morning but I just reached home. Went for two things today, MSH DS chalet and met Honsonn for the usual men talk.

Talking about chalet, quite and pretty fun I believe. Met some new friends, though don't really remember their names. If not, its just mingling with some colleagues that we used to be very fun with. I was being ganged up by two of my colleagues to make me drunk, and yes I knew they were up to this game. But out of social purposes I just blindly fall into their trap. We played up and downs and seriously I was very unlucky in the game. (Think they are very happy that I am the one clearing the beers) I got the highest value card and was supposed to guess the next care to be of higher value or lower value, of course under this case I would have chose lower value card. But what the hell, it came out to be of the same high value. And when it happens that you open a card which has the same value of the opened card, you get double(as what they called pairs). Very lucky, I got 7 pairs. So that means I gulped 14 mouths of beer in less than 10 mins. I continued drinking of course after that but went off early to meet Honsonn for the men talk.

Took a cab down from changi to Tampines then, the fare was like $8(Think the taxi driver didn't turn on the midnight charge) Waited for Honsonn there and we went to buy beer to drink. I can't drink anymore because I was quite full with the beer from the chalet and somemore the perspiration is making me giddy. Drank abit and finally drank the hot tea to cool down. There goes the men talk. You know, men talk only happens when something happened to one man who needs another man to give a lending ear, views and advices. Thus the story shall be spared under the rule of being private and confidential.

We are so going to do one of the project up there.

Ok, chilling off...

Thought of the day:
Fated to meet, but not meant to stick...
She makes herself a passer-by...
who says hi and bye...

22nd January 2007, finally I feel so comfortable... The bed ridden days are over once and for all, I sweat to god that those days are really an agony, I'll never ever go into such situation anymore. So finally I am back to drop an entry here. A couple of things to update.

School again... Time really flies, I am reaching the final phrase of Year 2 as a Diploma in Business Applications student. Use to think I will die under the cruel hands of I.T., well its not the case; falling in love with I.T. now. Life will be so about I.T. project management,Analyzing and designing system so about PHP, Java, HTML, CSS and any other programming languages. I am so imaging myself being part of this ever growing industry of the information age. I am doing fine in school, will not fail, but can't get into the roll of honors for this semester. I had over-estimated about myself, pushed my limits too far. Thought I could handle both job and studies well, but its not really the case. Yes, did really manage well in the first place but soon my body gets tired and things starts to go really wrong. Now, I face some problems of result sliding below 3.5 G.P.A which is kind of affecting my current overall G.P.A. Now I have to really work hard for the final few problems and the last UT to push up my overall G.P.A(preventing it from sliding below 3.65) Lesson learnt, next semester onwards; it will be school results and FYP at top priority.

Sales? 1 week being bed ridden can't really work, so that means no sales for that one week. But my first day back was fruitful although its kind of 'phew', both outstanding sales but cleared already =D So now I have 14 sales, one more to hit the incentives. I am still clinching hopes to get promoted to SSE next month. I am now 12 sales away from this target. Got to get 12 sales in the next 2 weeks, I better do it =D

Speaking of FYP, final year project. Formed my team, comprising the following people. Guo Long, Kee Yong and Shima. Tell you guys I am hopeful and very confident about this team, they are all serious about doing well for this project and that is the attitude. But knowing their working style and their stronghold in I.T. makes me very confident that we will do perfect for this FYP.

Guo Long -> Database language and PHP expert. His magical hands on codes tame the unpredictable system well. He is one serious guy when it comes to programming, having him in the team is like having a walking PHP manual =D. His best is reverse engineering codes, but so perfect that it look as if it is his =D Anyway everyone had to code in this project because if fail to do so will result in individual failure, thus G.L. will help alot to his teammates when we face problem like "SYNTAX ERROR"!!


Kee Yong -> Pretty good in designing and handling multimedia stuffs such as Flash. Very hardworking and dependent teammate to have. His attitude and seriousness during work sings loud and clear to his teammates "Give me the job and consider it done!"

Shima ->Programming is not her cup of tea(according to her) but her working attitude and the willingness to learn and help those around her makes her an ideal choice to be in the team. Anyway, she is the research queen; she finds the best resources from what the world wide web can provide.

As for me?(disclaimer: not being BHB here) Analyzing, planning is my trademark =D , I'll keep my silence and leave the comments for public because my colleague Shao Hui taught me "silent films are full of sounds".

I am all geared up to do fantastic for this particular project and bring this team towards graduation with a wonderful port folio about our FYP. Thats my personal milestone.

MELT camp... I am also dangling about this, but however I am still very optimistic about this camp. I told those who came for the dry run, "MELT camp is going to run at least once before I graduate and that is my promise to Business Climate" I am seeing glimpse of success from this project, though at time this land me into the darkest moments. I will move on about this despite all the shits.

I shall stop here. Gees, haven't get my new year stuffs... Setting aside a bomb for it anyway. Holidays are around the corner as well, I am into some serious business during this holiday. Shall draw the curtains here..

Thought of the day: "I'll forgive myself from all the wrong doings, to take the next important step in life"

12th January 2007, still no signs of recovering from my fever. It will just go away, and come back soon... haiz, this is really really uncomfortable. Every night or days, I will feel as if my blood and muscles are freezing when its a damn hot and warm day. Gees, just what is happening?? How come it just can't get better like it use to be? I had to get well by Monday, don't wish to jeopardize my academics because of this ignorant virus.

Suppose to have a very good sleep now, but was awaken by some call from the Starhub service hub personnel saying that he cannot find my customer data in the computer system. Thanks to him, he push all the blame to me and the customer demand compensation of his taxi fare and demand a delivery of the desktop to his house. Damn, how am I suppose to do it? I'll take this time to emphasize that there is lots of leaders in this world, but at times leaders are put up into the position without any signs of being a leader. Irresponsibility is his trademark, complaining his agony is his hobby, "I don't know" is the best phrase from him to shut his team members up. Ya, so I hope this is not too obvious to cause any political issues.... As usual, regarding the handling of sales invoice I will find some leaders to help me what is the problem. Only my second resort really helped me, perhaps because he is of higher position. Luckily the reason is explainable and I managed to "tame" my customer. The whole telecom goes like this.

Customer: "Mark, the service center person tells me that they cannot find my particulars in their system, what the hell is your company doing?"
Mark: "This can't be the case, your invoice had been handled up long time ago"
Customer:"Ya, I know... I don't care what you guys going to do, but I had waste my trip here and I can't get my desktop. I demand a compensation from your company. You know the Taxi fare cost me $20++. So what you want me to do now, if I cannot get any form of compensation I will go to CASE and report this case. "
(Gees, I haven't even demand a compensation from you for my wasted trip to your house and found out that you actually know how to install)
Mark: "Sir can I have a moment to check it out with my boss on what is going on exactly?"
Customer: "Sure, but when can I give you an answer? I want it by today"
Mark: "how about that, I will give you an answer hopefully by 3 O'clock"
Customer:" I don't want to hear hopefully, 3 O'clock means 3 O'clock"
Mark:" Ok, sure by 3, I'll give you an answer. just a moment"
Customer: " Can I also have the name of your boss, contact number and also your company name in 5 mins"
Mark :" Sir, please allow me to do the investigation before you lodge a complaint."
Customer: " No, I trust that you can do the investigation for me, but I just want a higher ranking person just in case you couldn't give me an Answer"
Mark :" Sir, when I know the reason you will know, I promise"
Customer: "Ok, you call your boss now"
Mark: " Can, I'll call you in a short while"
1st telecom ended.

Called Andy.....
Called Ray.... but need some time to check out the case.
Called Customer again...

Customer: " Hi Mark, so how?"
Mark: " Hi sir, ya, I had send your particulars over to my boss to check out. But this might take some time as you know its not a working day today."
Customer:(surprisingly he is so understanding now) " Ok, no problem so what about the compensation?" (ok fine, take back my words -_-''')
Mark :" Sir, I hope you understand that I am just a small staff in the company but I will try to negotiates any forms of compensation I can get for you; but i cannot give you any guarantee on that . "
Customer: " Yes, I understand because I am a sales person myself as well, whenever my operation went wrong I will always negotiate with my boss to give compensation to the customer"
Mark :" Yes I understand, just allow me to try before anything?"
Customer: "Ok can, I'll be waiting for your good news"
Ray called a short while later with the reason and I sort it out with the customer.. Phew.. what a great escape....

Now, got to rest... Gees this is really tearing me apart...

10th January 2007, Mark's down. Never felt so bad before, never been in such agony before. The weather really sucks big time... Argh~~ feeling so unwell... Oh please god, save me from this agony...

January 1st, 2008.... 2007 had come to its full stop...

So this time round, my countdown method to the new year is totally different from the previous years. Away from the boring usual "5-4-3-2-1" and the waiting. Instead we had a BBQ that day and we count down to the new year and gave a toast to everyone. It will be a long grandmother story if I were to type my whole day in this entry, so just show some photos will do. (pictures says a thousand words)

see.......some always thought we have too much food to play with.....

The differences between a 15 year old and 18 year old =D

The "remainings"(you should know who's missing for good?)

The "Xiao Yi Pai"

N~Zire @ countdown 2008(Pasir Ris Park)

Have been counting down with this group of really good buddies for almost 6 years.... The best blessing I have got so far in my entire life...

I had my year resolution coming through last year, so I hope it will be the same for this year =D... Anyway, at my age; how wide can the scope be??? Now...Here is the list of things I am aiming for; for my new year

1. 3.8++ GPA before graduation.
2. Qualify for a Merit diploma
3. A's for both my Final year Projects
4. Have at least a bank balance of 5K*NEW(aiming to be rich one day)
5. Tone my body by June
6. Master Guitar

Short and sweet, this will be my six wants in the new year... Shall practice the law of attraction on it. Anyway brothers, sorry to disappoint that finding a girlfriend is still not in the my yearly resolution (anyway girlfriend is a need not a want) =X haaz. Let this sort of things take its natural course will do, no point aiming....

So year 2008 had started, time really flies as usual. The happenings in 2007 are still so vivid in my mind as if they were just yesterday. Really growing up now, and life is also getting more and more filled with responsibilities and expectations. Though its going to be tough and tiring for the coming year due to studies and work, I believe 2008 will be a wonderful year for me =D

thought of the day: Land here...Don't be another flyby of my life....
