20th March 2008, less than an hour late to talk about what happen on 19th March 2008. Sorry to have to repeat this kind of introduction sentence in almost all entries. What to do? The perfect feeling for blogging only comes in the night.

Its Honsonn's birthday today(19th March 2008), simple and nice. Had our dinner over at Seoul Garden and damn I had phobia on chili already, after it inflicted a terrible throat infection after the BBQ. But anyway its quite fun down there, eating and crapping. After that was movie time, watched the Semi Prom, quite funny though; initially I thought I had just wasted another 8 dollars on the movie tickets. hmmmmm, not really those tickets are complimentary. THANKS SHAWN~ haha.. go for more laser competition.

School is going to start soon, approximately another 2 to 3 weeks more. Pretty reluctant... I am excited about the fact that its final year already and it means time to put in double effort and 'chiong' all the way towards the finishing line to be a champion. Reluctant because my holiday fun just got to its peak~!

I am starting to think am I abit getting to become a feeling-less jerk? Use to sweet talk people and so on, but nowadays I am shooting off without being considerate~ hmm....

March 15th, 2008... Mark is down with the same problem again. Throat infection, which also means if the infection don't subside, my fever will not go down. Gees, wonder which god had I offended to meet with such a misfortune. It has been more than 10 years since my last throat infection. Fortunately this time round its not as 'jialat' as the previous case, about 2 months ago.

Haaz, lets forget about that I will make a speedy recovery before Honsonn's birthday this coming wednesday.

I am about 2-3 days late to talk about the Aranda Chalet N~Zire had as a replacement/compensation of the missing chalet last year December. Suppose to head back to SAF but Nigel has been lucky enough to get a 50% discount from Aranda. Honestly, I prefer Aranda now(haha), its so 'mansionate'. Its big, classical and comfortable(except the chairs I slept on). But sadly, it had been raining for the whole 3 days 2 nights in the chalet which really affect our activities. There is too much to share about this chalet, the pillowfight, trying the hottest sotong in the world, up and down beer game and so on. All I had to say is, this chalet was fun~

Everyone is down after the chalet, so I guess there is no N~Zire meeting yesterday. The very next outing is Honsonn birthday~ hmmm

March 8th, 2008. It's another friday. I mean Saturaday, just late for 2 hours. Don't have to say, you know what I am doing on this friday. Or should I say every friday? haaz, nothing much just usual routines.

Darn! I made a mistake again, a very foolish; stupid mistake. Just recently I had clinched a deal and I just subconciously forgot to take the customer contact number. Its already the second time,purely the result of stoning during work. But its because of this stupid mistake, I tasted the harsh reality of working life. It is almost near zero possiblities that someone will help you when you make mistakes, its all on our own. Just received some lecture from the Admin Manager of the company for this stupid mistake, of course I won't retaliate because its after all my fault. But I offered the possiblity that I can get the number from the customer which I think it's responsible enough for me to offer that but all I got was a very sarcastic remark ." Save the trouble la, just put down your number, anything wrong call you lo". Thanks huh! You, goh-liee goat. mEh-h-h~ (so random)

But afterall, the customer haven't call; guess that goat is already off to submit the Service agreements. Just pray hard the customer don't owe money or do anything to starhub~

Listening to some chinese songs now, its been a long time since I listen to these chinese songs. Its a change that I took 2 years ago? Year 1 semester 2, that was when. No more chinese songs, but soft English rocks or any variations of English songs. Jay Chou, Tank, Ah Du, LJJ are all history to me. Click Five, Boys like girls, Simple Plans are the present melodies and rhythms for my ears. Its a sudden taste change 2 years ago but I don't know why? But I know I am dying for a change back in my past and I know I had succeed because I had become someone who no one who known me 3 years ago will recognise me as Seah Shao Cheng Mark today. haaz, I really miss the road behind me and it makes me wonder; have I changed from good to bad? I had departed from where I am without landing on another place which it feels like flying alone among the clouds; performing stunts without any audience seeing. Or just crashed?

All that is left from my past is N~Zire, all of the rest had been thrown away and all that I have now is a new designed key with no lock to fit, it can't fit the past and it can't fit the present. But I'll stick to my theory, everlasting friendship is about putting the effort to maintain. So its about me to remember the common past and ignore the different present. Though my stories will never be understandable anymore but its ok, I'll listen and understand the stories being told.

haaz, looks like its always friday that I am specially emo. But its always short coming and smile will be back tomorrow, as always and hope it does. Thats all I have to share about my thoughts today.

Melodies from chinese songs died in my ear, its time to go back to English soft rock!~

Thought of the day: Future lies unknown to everyone, just where and who will I be?

March 1st, 2008... I am just late to talk about the day which happens only once every four years, thats the 29th February. Thats what they call the leap years when Earth will have an extra one day in the year. Something to do with Moon gravitational influences on Earth, but not really sure what is it about~ 29th February falls right on friday this year and just had the usual N-Zire meeting. Haaz, looks like those words are very common in my blog "usual N-Zire meeting". Lets put it this way, without them I think I will be back to my loner days~

Thought of the day: Don't understand why I will be so full of thoughts at the end of the week~

February 23, 2008... March on the way, times flies. Anyway, I am just home from N~Zire Soccer and some spooky expereince(damn, its not a nice story to share) Kind of thoughtful today, but I am feeling hard to put them into words today~

Its 3 weeks into holiday for goodness sake. The result for the semester is out anyway, damn just as I predicted~ No longer in the role of honors and there is nothing more saddening than that for now~ But I know its my fault in this slack in result, if I only I had put in more effort to this than the sales work. Thats it, I have to really gear myself up and drive for what I want from my poly. There is another 2 more news, awaiting to trigger my emotions. 1. FYP project allocations 2. My modules selection results.

Sales into the last phrase and I am still stucked with 5 sales~nothing much to comment from here,I am geting lazy nowadays~


Thought of the day: As always, I am always not sastified with myself ~

February 18, 2008... Just another day of holidays, BoRED~ so just a show case what I did~

February 14th, 2008, its Valentines Day(1 hour into it)~ Though I had never made any effort to remember this date because I don't have to =D But I can tell you tomorrow will be Total Defence Day.Gees~ I'm hopeless, no wonder I'm single. =D

Just now long ago, we celebrated Chinese New Year. As we always do every year since the day we graduated from JYSS, N~Zire made an effort to go on a CNY visit to everyone house. Our parents are getting along well with this clan of friends. I shall spare the details once again, just have a look at the photos

Derrick's House

My House

Si Yang's house

This year had our crazy times and also some "emo" time, along the way not much of the picture was taken, no one was keen of doing so, thus ya~... But this year there is something different, some are missing and we have new faces~ There is also a surprise~ We went to Yi Qi's house for dinner (=D.

CNY this year, is just lacking of the mood~ I wonder why, but the atmosphere is just not right~~I wonder why the laughters are almost fading, I wonder why the smiles on everyone are leaving.I pray hard that is not a bad omen.

Lets talk abit on valentines day, since its valentines day today. Honestly, I forgotten about this day only until Lydia MSN me "Happy V Day". Valentines,I suppose it mean your lovely couple so Valentines day are for lovely couples to celebrate their lovely and sweet togetherness.(WO~~ hair standing~!) nah, honestly I haven't celebrated Valentines day in my life( kind of fail huh?) since my relationship concidently starts after Valentines day and ends before it. 2 year already, I am single; never find luck in this there after 2 years ago but its ok, I never intend or specially wish to be attach so soon~ Lets just be natura. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to those successful couples out there =D Anyway, I knew of a relationship which ends before this valentines day, they proved their love and cut everyone's throat but they gave up by ending it, haiz lets hope time will heal. Love is a variable of nature, the name swaps around words of emotions.Some starts with a struggle and ends with a question while some are fantasies that last forever.

Gees, I am tired... Going to sleep now~

02 February 2008, its another 4 more days before we celebrate another new year, =X i mean the lunar new year. Its drawing so near and yet I have about still 80% of my shopping list. Worse is, I had spend quite abit on unexpected situations, Taxi Fares; Birthday presents and food~!!! But more or less it will be at the balance of what I predicted.

Just came back from Melissa's Birthday party. She is celebrating her 21st Birthday!! Anyway, this lady(have to call her this way since she had attain her adulthood) was my Judo Captain back when she is still year 2, now she had graduated but still helping out in judo. I belonged to the judo gang there and they were crapping all the way but it is seriously very funny. Anyway guys, I am going back to judo; for 2 reasons:
1. I am still having the passion and itchiness to be a martial artist
2. Time to go back on form(fitness and muscles)
Going back to judo had already been set quite long ago, but it was just unfortunate that I land myself up in hospital. So yes, going back to judo already. Rudy said that he will be putting me down for grading in March so he says I better come for trainings. Yup, no problem will be going back for training and the first big thing that comes in my way is IVP!!!!!!!!!!!! For the first time the medal looks so interesting~...

Anyway, guess the bad news is I am unable to hit SSE for my job already. I happily hit 72 after the last time I worked, but after which the last 2 sales was on outstanding and another combo had failed installation due to "no signal"~! gees I m back to 68 sales after 3 months. My November and December's hard work, goes right into the drain. But its ok, I'm already looking for better opportunity, most likely I will be going into freelancing. My ultimate objectives of working and studying at the same time is very simple:
- To feel that I am not useless
- To give myself a Financial Freedom before I graduate.
Honestly, I feel super useless to know the fact that I am 18 and still living dependently on my parents, for food for fashion and so on. I want to sort of earn and start learning to financially support myself. Now, I have my own bank balance, I plan my own spendings and my families financial support on me had also go down; it makes me really feel that I had grown up.

Now holidays here, and I just don't understand why am I not so excited about it. Something is missing , I knew it but I'll just let that door shut and don't open it for now. If the zodiac prediction is right, I will take my very opportunity this year to make myself shine~

Thought of the day: You can shut this door right in my face, but I will just open another door. this cycle will never end.

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.

2. Fortex Trading System

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....

31st December 2007, so early in the morning but frankly I had not sleep for the past few hours.

I was totally drained after finishing the day installation. Run about Tampines and Bugis to get some shit installation done(luckily can claim). After the shits, headed back to the office to return those shits. Then I waited for Nigel shit to be done, but it was never done since something even more shitty happened. Geeess, did I just cursed someone really badly that it happen or is it just pure coincidence??? Anyway, Nigel said:"Job, its all about enjoying the process". Well, I enjoy the moment when an installation under me was successful =) Due to the shit that happen last night, I will have to go down to the problematic case at Seng Kang later in the evening, I will have better pray that they will be nice today or I might need a ear pluck during the installation. So thats how my second last day of the year looks like. Anyway, let me end this story by saying " Shits cost money...."

disclaimer: If you don't understand any of the shits above, never mind just understand that its shit and ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies (thanks Amanda, this line is really useful to me now)

Well, so might be late for the BBQ today due to the shit. Shall catch some sleep now and I will be back tomorrow to tell my new year resolution =D It came true for the year 2007, I will really hope it will also be that way for year 2008.

Thought of the day: Human minds are so wonderful that they really shape this world with conspiracy and lies...

30th December 2007, 1 more days to the last day of the year 2007. Never see that coming actually, had been so busy with work that I had grew numb to time(In fact, I took granted of it).

Anyway, celebrated Christmas with my colleagues. Mainly Amanda, Mayvin, Sabrina, Shao Hui and Jaclyn. As you can see, all are girls why? Nigel had family gathering at the very last minute(fine its ok), Kong Yang, Ian and Andy went to Zhong huan. And for the rest, either they are in the office or totally not invited. At first it was quite bored, no spray no fun(at least to me) so we are like searching high and low for some people selling those sprays. Finally after the count down we found them. Bought 4 bottles and finally had fun with it before being caught in a human traffic jam where I almost beat up the 'Bs'(trying not to be racist) behind for pushing and pushing and still pushing. Edmund join us only to find himself covered with those foams but he left shortly after that. Tonned over at a bridge near Esplanade and took a cab home after that. Christmas sweetly ended.

Was quite bored at home the next day, so drag my brother out for a walk only to find that it could be a mistake. I was bomb by him financially . But its ok... Seriously...

So here is the plan for the first week of January before I am back to school, I am going slow and steady for my job; but I am going to be hard on my studies. Mainly because the final showdown is here!!

The Understanding tests are already queuing up to challenge my knowledge for the last time before I graduate year 2. I am so going to hit hard on this, making sure its a straight As' for the final 4 papers . That's my plans for the last term.
Well, before the school reopens, I believe I will like to spend some of my pay on the clothings for the both new years(lunar and the Georgia).

Besides that, I am going to announce that I happily closed 31 (potentially 32 sales) for the month of December. So that is going to earn me big time again =) Happy is not enough to describe my earnings for the month December. In addition, I am still going to collect some more cash for doing installation =D Just out of curiosity; do we get to get Christmas Bonus as well *money face* Will be so paradise if we do.. =D

I shall stop here.... This could be the last entry of the year as I believe I will be very busy for the next 2 days to blog. So WISH EVERYONE A EARLY HAPPY NEW YEAR!~! haha...

December 17th, 2007; half way through the month of December. Finally, its holiday!! So that will also mean extra time to sleep, more focus on sales and time to buck up what I had left out for the term. Anyway, it had been quite a busy week for the last week and I am seriously ill. Having a cough and flu that never seems to be going away.

School? Well, results are sliding but I had put up myself for the last week before holidays to get myself a straight A's for all the problems in the modules. Well, happy to announce, " I DID IT!!!!!!!!" here is my results for the last week...

Yes, got As' for daily grades, now I need to pull up my UT grades. Have been too focus on some other stuff that my UT grades are also sliding. UT 3 and 4 will be the final showdown and I must score straight As' for that as well. At least this will safe keep my ass in the academic roll of honours. G.P.A 3.71 is definitely not enough for me, I will give all my best to hit that 3.8 when I graduate. So thats for my school life.

Sales? Just went I thought I will flunk my December,but I decided not to give up. Law of attraction indeed, just kept imaging myself getting sales and run out of the low sales nightmare. Got something very rewarding today, total of 7 sales from Yishun, plus yesterday's call back; I got 8 sales more to be added on to my usual 10 sales. So totaling up, I have 18 sales for the month of December. Looks like the 30 sales target is still possible for me to hit within this month; shall strive all the way. Anyway beside myself being happy, Amanda(Likey) is also enjoying the great sales from Yishun, (HAHA) happy for her; and I believe she is really happy as I can see her wide smile everywhere she goes when we are still at Yishun. XD

Arh, had been having late nights nowdays; shall turn in now...

thought of the day: Law of attraction really works!!

December 2nd, 2007; getting atrocious in the updating of my blog. I am seriously being caught up by quite alot of stuffs and by the time I finish doing all I had need to do, its already too late and usually I am a dead meat by then. Thus apologies to neverending89.blogspot.com and those readers.

Well,November was a pretty enjoying month for me as I celebrated a new self record in sales. So I finally hit my 20 sales and will be expecting to get the incentives and commissions by christmas. That will be around 900+ which is really exciting me now =D. Now I am left with 40 Sales to hit for December in order to promote to senior sales. But having mix feeling about promoting, simply because, the price to pay is...
RESPONSIBILITY++
EXPECTATIONS++
but the rebate is....
PAY ++ (haha, that is the motivating factor ya?)
Nigel is like getting 10 sales for the month of December already and I really have to buck up for my sales as I am kind of sliding down. But shall not let that happen. Anyway, it was just yesterday when something really shocking happen to me. We are opening our roadshow @ bedok yesterday and I was like getting the invoice out to sign up a cable TV and a Maxonline for my customer who is already seriously interested(at least from her smile and the nod of head), her friend who said will introduce this promo to his friend to sign up with me; he went away to make a call to get his friend IC and sign up for him. To my shock, after the call; he just came back and drag his friend(the one who is signing up with me) away without any reasons why they change their mind just repeating himself(Think about it first, next time) But more or less I know what he wants, he is wanting a free gift + discount for both of the service, so he was like bargaining with me to get him a CTV subscription and give him discount of 50% and give him the Free LCD TV MONITOR(HD Ready) and like Maxonline $44.94 8mbps with LAPTOP Free and 1 year contract(which is super ridiculous, if Starhub ever come out with this promotion i will seriously consider going somewhere else as they will lose money big time that they have problem paying me). I was quite affected by the case and was really moody yesterday; furthermore I got approached by existing customer like a customer service officer(when i am suppose to be a sales executive) to answer customer complaints and their technical problems. I wasted bedok yesterday because Nigel got 5 and Mayvin got 3 yesterday. Left aside to weep for a better day. But its ok, as I celebrate a real good day today 2 sales from Yew Tee(I should starting changing my mind on yew tee).

School life... I have serious problems on my results now. Scoring C+ and B+ for my test instead of my targetted As, this is really affecting my results. All my module predicted grades are now B+ except for System Analysis and Design which is A. Wa LAO!! I STILL WANT MY 4 As.... Shall buck up for a final showdown~~
Choosing my specialization soon, have what i want in mind already; just going forward for the business electives briefing tomorrow to hear out from them about the various offer.

MELT. IT JUST GET POSTPONED POSTPONED AND POSTPONED.... but I never wanted to do so but I have so many things to consider. Perhaps partially its my fault for being side tracking for a short period which screws up everything. Haiz... always bounded by those stupid reasons i get, stupid excuses i get, stupid last min amendments..haiz... I had never tasted support for quite a long time, and till now; I felt so being betrayed that just feel like quitting and get back to what I am suppose to be doing(like studying and get to University and get to my main field)

Shall stop here and go to sleep.. Web application tomorrow, hard day ahead ...

November 18th, 2007. Its approximately 1 hour into the new day. Just came back from my company's gathering.

We spend our gathering over at East Coast Park, playing Frisbee,Soccer, Volley ball and my personal loathe, dog and bone.I seriously enjoyed the soccer game especially the beautiful step over and following a perfect shot into the goal. That was the first blood, and also some cuts on my feet, since we are playing on sand; doing step over is such a difficult task on sand(The ball just doesn't go with your momentum, it either your leg get stuck into the soft sand; or you will find yourself leaving the ball behind you) I score a second goal after a few minutes, after making a great escape from the goalkeeper's hand. Eventually we lost; taking the fact that all my teammates are dead tired running on the soft sand. We played monkey with frisbee on the beach after the soccer match, and that last us the whole evening before we went off for dinner. Ken, Amanda and I are all victims for today, Ken got pinned down; I got sat on the head by Andy(damn pissed off by that) and Amanda ate sand today =D

After dinner was pool, I win 2 rounds and lost 1 round. I shall spare the details as it is seriously nothing much. Took a cab home with Nigel, and I am very very pissed off by the driver. He was talking bad about Nigel for being stupid and lazy of him to U-turn into the road and drop him off when he can walk a few distance(WHAT THE FUCK, got money for you to earn you still ass so much) He was insulting me all the way during the journey,well I was too tired to even respond to him. But there is this particular comment which he made that really really boils me. He asked me where am I studying so I am really proud to tell him I am from Republic Polytechnic. Curse him to make the following comment "Why you go that polytechnic", I was telling him that because I choose one of the subject which caters what I want in the future. Haaz, he replied "Cannot be la, how much you score for your english". I thought its not a harm to be honest, thus I told him that I got a 7 for English, and the next sentence he said really really hurt and pissed me off. "No wonder, that only that polytechnic will accept those who fail English. " Get so pissed off and just reply him " ya - ya" for the rest of the journey, just too tired to bother about his comment. But eventually I did something out of that vengeance, I took out 10 dollar and asked him to keep the change, then I told him " Uncle, keep the change and next time just concentrate on the road, don't talk so much and make so much comments." We were waiting for the traffic lights before my alighting point, and he was telling me that his son have no interest in polytechnic as he got the potential to go to JC and stuff like that, making the comment that it is hard and impossible for poly grads to go to University and even if the go they just can't make it there. I got so agitated that when I asked him "How you know?", he confidently replied"I used to work in NUS as a computer engineer researcher"(arh, can't remember what he used to work as but it should be some researcher), out of my anger i replied"oh, then you are now a taxi driver, how sad? Your son still proud of you?"

Well,I am really angry with what that driver had commented; it makes me feels that this society, this country is only caring about those who walk through a Straight 'A's in O'level and JC school life and finally University. Hopefully thats not the case, if not this country will really be a gone case. But come to think of it, it just struck me something which I regret in life(for not putting 100% into my O'levels). I had learn my mistakes, but this wrong doing had lead me to a place(Republic Polytechnic) where I found my real interest and had changed my life. I putting 100% into my school work now, striving so hard for a high GPA; get a place in the academic roll of honors; just because I have a favor to fulfill for myself.

thought of the day: I know myself, might not be very clever and talented; but I don't need anyone to specially prove that to me!!

November 11th, 2007... Finally, I'm back to do some clearing of cobwebs. Its school holiday!!! for just one week, anyway I am too late to celebrate that since school is reopening this coming Monday.

I had finally finished my PP report last week, just in time of the submission date. Well it has been approved by my advisor thus I am clear for the presentation. So I will be presenting on how bricks and mortar retail stores can e-commercialize their business. Haaz, maybe my idea will work one day? So much that you will get to see Online Giordano or even TOP SHOP? But now I have a big problem, because I am still not done with my presentation materials.

Anyway, October is over and its pleasant to announce that I have hit 15 sales for that month. Its quite unsafe to hit that number as there might be a chance where 1 sales actually cocks up or something like that; then I will be down with 14 only which will not eligible me for the $130 incentives. But lets just pray for it. So, I will hit my personal target of cash in bank within 2 months with the cash from my October and September sales plus the bonus from my boss Andy(hopefully he remembers). November and December will be the peak period for sales, so I am aiming HIGH!!

M.E.L.T, something which I am seriously headache about. No replies from schools and I wonder how my teammates are doing with their task. I am seriously being tied down by working and PP and so on,that I almost forgot about this project. Its time to drift back on track....

Ahh..anyway I am dead tired, shall continue some other time....

November 02, 2007... Finally back to blog and I am feeling so overwhelmed today. Anyway the month of October had been really stress and busy for me. Surrounded by M.E.L.T, work, school and PP.

Job as a sales executive is really getting very well. Hit 15 sales by 29th October thus I really really hope that I can get the incentives and bonus which will earn me a thousand plus for the month October. Got to check it out with the customer if their services are good and steady, if not I will not get the incentives. November is here, a brand new sales month; lets aim high for November.

School? feeling so overwhelmed nowadays, no longer good at doing stuffs. No longer appreciated, no longer driven as usual. My results are slacking, and I just don't know how to cope it now. Really afraid of the slide in results. Finding myself learning nothing as the day go by. There is so many people over taking me now and I seriously feel that I had just failed my own target. Am I being brought down??

Well, seriously finding a way out.... Perhaps I have to buck up over the holidays.
