Now it’s 0516hrs and i am writing this post. You would probably think why i am blogging in such early hours; i havent sleep yet. I have been staying up till dawn since 2 weeks ago and the reason is mugging for exam. I can’t help it to stay up ‘late’ and i know it is bad for health.

Just wanted to record this routine of mine here so that into the coming years i will know what i have done that might turn me into.

Here’s my routine: Wake up 3pm, go for lunch, come back take nap, 5pm woke up study abit, go for dinner at 7pm, come back take nap again, then woke up at 11pm, chiong till 5am, slack till 6am, go slp, flip till 7am, and cycle repeats. Yeah SCREWED UP.

My last week

Yen — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 10:25:17 +0000

Ahhh It is hard to finish this pile of things with just 24 hours per day;I complained like everyone else haha. So you might ask yourself what you really did for last week. Well for me, i danced, finished reports and studied for the bloody BS201. I must say it’s really a waste of time to study BS201 because i spent each day just to memorise all the biological words in the notes. All thanks to the lecturer who has advised us to remember the bio words and did not say anything about the concept. The best part is the test focused on CONCEPT. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz Waste time, waste time. However, i cant really just push the blame on her as the current SBS ‘spolit’ market also played a part in such study culture. Everyone is memorising hard. You know past year papers that are supposed to be practised during exam revision, now my peers are practising with it for mid-term test. YEA, doing PYS is a must for mid-term test which made amount of time to study lesser.

Recently, I’ve been thinking of going for instep. I think i should go for exchange even if it will cost me HUGE financial problems. I mean it’s a rare opportunity to go overseas for 6months and i doubt this will ever happen again in the future. I’m aiming for European countries, somewhere that is totally different from Singapore. Meet new people, learn new cultures, and most importantly train myself to be more independently capable. Hahaha Live only once, just make it big man!

I just realise that i have a blog!

Yen — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 22:31:44 +0000

Ok, it has been more than a year that i have blogged. It’s just my sudden urge that made me blog. So i’m going to talk about school work, yea school.

Many things have happened during my uni life – a lot of first times. First time dancing, first time taking some alien modules, first time organise different events, and hell lots more that i lazy to list them all. You know sometimes you just feel everything is doing great, smooth but deep down in ur heart you know sometimes aint right. Lost focus. (ok i side tracked) Focus is the most powerful tool and anyone needs it. You need to be clear of what you want and den you will know how to do it. If you’re not focus you will just end up just doing it but not really doing it. And yes often everyone loses his focuses in life, but it’s ok, just need to get it back on track. I mean when you have ur focus in mind and you did what is needed to achieve your goal and even gave it all. ermm actually no one ever gave it all cos you dunno what is your all in the first place hahaha. Let me rephrase, if you know u have given what you think is more than sufficient, I think things will work out just nice for you.

So stop living for world, living for what you want it to be.

Just crapping around and….

I think i having insomnia for the past 1 weeks, 7am sharp den i can slp. arghh. Time to shutdown…

A brand new post!

I currently working in a telecompany since dec 08 and the reason why I didn’t name the company here because this post is going to be mild negative!; I’m still working for them wahahah. Let me describe to you what exactly is my job, before i do that i explain what my department does. It is a sort of logistical aka backend department. The whole thing started when the Sales Team clinched a deal and they would refer the deal to us for logistical arrangement (sounds boring right). My department has 3 stations. First station, meaning the first level, is sorting of orders which requires the person to check the forms that are sent in for any incompleted or lack of document – pure admin (photocopier). Thus for completed orders will go to next station – keying of order. Keying of the orders means to arrange for the time,date,delivery address, items, type of payment, amount of money in which creates an invoice. Thereafter the orders are automatically submitted to the delivery team for delivery operations. Finally, when the deliveries were successful, my station then comes into the picture. My main job is to vet the documents of the successful deliveries and submit for provisioning – get the bill rolling. For those unsuccessful deliveries, i will reschedule. Lastly, of course, back track for any error that i have sent out.

So my station quite relax de if my first 2 stations are zai. But when they do shortcuts, i need to recitfy them as all documents come to my station before i send them out to other departments. More or less ta sai. On top of that, i have a few side-tasks that i took over from my upper study. Yes, because of this upper-study whose working experience in this company exceeds 3 years, many of ‘not his’ tasks are now under his charge. So i have to do all the irrelevant tasks. These tasks get quite annoying at times when i see my other colleagues chilling at one side LOL! I want to slack oso can. But I still can cope with them.

Nevertheless, i have a driving test on this coming friday and i have merely 2 practices left, one tomorrow evening and one more before test on friday morning. I’m quite stressed of the test. Because during the past driving practices, i was still making many mistakes which incurred reprimands by my instructor which gravely demoralised me. It seriously sucks when i need to rebook the test and start doing all the preparations again. It also means waste of money. I think i’ll go for the test with the mentality of showing what i have learnt so far and not please let me pass. Let’s see what happens then. Fingers crossed!

My Time has come!

Ok, i’m slacking at home and still yet to find any job. I know i’m kinda picky and should just get any job that comes to me however i really cant stand $6 to $6.50 per hour job leh ahahha. Really wanna look for $7 and above ones. Ok if this week still no offer for $7 job interview, i will go for $6.50 jobs. That aside, past few weeks really slacking and watching some dramas and animations thus there’s one drama that i strongly recommend you guys to watch – Ming Zhong Zu Ding Wo Ai Ni! Seriously this drama is one of a hell awesome! Best of any taiwan drama i watched. The standard is comparable to korea Goong, Fullhouse etc. And i did cry for a few scenes so imagine a big boy like me cried ~~ haha Really worth your time to watch it. Now about myself relieved from Army, i wanted to ignore all calls from camp after i ORDed however i answered a few and one of them had demanded requested me to go back for awhile; i received on average 10 calls from camp. So i went back =.= I think it was unnecessary as they merely wanted me to find a ‘lost’ files which were just in my ex-cupboard. Zzzz Don’t even have the effort to search thoroughly before asking me to go back. It was just there loh. Learning driving now, and just passed my BTT. It wasn’t that easy as it seems. So must study de. Same for driving, the clutch thing really hard to get use of, hopefully i can master it in no time cos my intention was to get my driving licence at a low low low and super low cost… Wahaha. Ok, gonna watch new korea dramas le… Will update this blog soon.

Complaints!

Yen — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 01:12:02 +0000

Been quite awhile since i last blogged. I’m still surviving well in my unit – insanely high-paced unit. There’s not been a single month that my unit has the chance to rest. The men are exhausted so are the commanders. Events after events, we have been working very hard and sometimes inefficient due to the miscommunication among the key appointment holders. The reality is as such, since everyone has their own job scopes and thus different schedules, there is never a chance for all of us to gather for a updates of meeting. Thus enforcement of these meeting are essential because we need to share our knowledge and experiences so that any human error can be avoided. Information sharing is very important and way of interpreting these information is equally critical too. As i’m dealing with the logisticial issue of my unit, i know that by human nature, users will not continuously update suppliers of their equipment status; human are lazy. Therefore, when the event is commencing, the users soon find out that the particular equipments are paramount to their success and it was due to their negligience these equipments are down so they seek help from the suppliers whether they can get a replacement in such a short notice. These are the culture that we need to eradicate. We have to drill into their mind that preparation must start as early as possible so that errors can be surfaced earlier so that solutions can come in time. Frequently we think that during the process, things will just fall in place, it is true. When things start to screw up, somebody must come in to resolve it but the overall conduct of the event will not turn out wonderful. Planning, preparation, execution and recovery are the main steps i learnt in the army. Everysteps except execution are within our control. Once you execute your task, the attribute to its success are bounded by chance and checks. So its really about coordination and checkbacks. Lastly recovery is the tedious among all steps. There is this mentality that when we want it, we care for it. Once it has no value for you, you don’t really care. So don’t underestimate the complexity of the recovery. When equipments are used for the event, the equipment condition will always be the same or worse so repairing and extricating them should be part of the planning. Steps must be taken to ensure all the wastage of the equipment remain as low as possible. Haha so much to say, i think i would want to organise event on my own team in the future … to see how coordinative i can be. But at the same time, i also same as the rest – lazy. 111108 haha the day will come after i drew my blood for ffi…

Off Day!

Yen — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 09:04:08 +0000

I’m on off! isn’t that amazing? hahaha. I have no intention to claim any off day at all but after i heard that QM took one off day last week monday and this week wed, i was very disturbed! haah how could he go on off! So i decided to request an off day from my boss. Apparently he agreed without hinting any ‘No’. So here i am slacking one day off, sleep all day long. I was thinking to ask another day off from my boss for this coming monday again! haha dunno i can get anot.

Yen — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 07:17:29 +0000

I’ll been doing quite okay lately, nevertheless i’ve survived through one major field camp. In this major joint execrise, i experienced some river crossing, and done an appointment for a heli-casevac ( shall not disclose so much). Not bad. Actually it’s quite easy to get a helicopter land and get someone up and lift off. Ahhh i’ve been up to many things and really dunno where to start with. Anyway i’ll be going on course again, this time no more dys4 but S4 course to prepare me for my NS tour. Sighed, i had mixed thoughts for this course, first is that i’m proved to better than my QM ( another appointment in battalion which is on the same tensity level as dys4 and furthermore the only persons who will be qualified to be S4 just either me or him). Second, it means it will be more sai kang for me even i go on ORDed and come back as NS men. This QM that i talking about is 1 X good one fuck up. not only me recognised his ‘attribute’ but other officers as well. ZZZ nvm, i’m going to ORDed in no time. Recently, my S4, somehow or another, becoming more chillex le. I wonder why, is it because he strike toto or he knew he was going to be Major in Oct thus he realise there is no need for me to be garang anymore. hahaha Either way, it benefits me anyway. Ok, next week there’s an ODAC outing, hopefully i can attend. And lastly, guys chillex and for those NSF-going-to-be, GOOD LUCK MUHAHA

Honeymoon Period has come to an end!

Yen — Sat, 03 May 2008 07:51:35 +0000

ahhhhh, i hate to admit that my ‘honeymoon’ period has come to an end! Why do i say so? because my Boss is coming back next week already. Hahaha without his presence everything works very easy and smooth. I think there’s freaking alot of bombs in his mail and i can assure you that when he comes back he will bombard me with lots of work! I knew that is coming however i can feel my ord date is crawling constantly towards me. oooohhhhh i will be freed! And i know that i will be missing the tough times in army too. When you undergoing something you wont feel it’s goodness unless you are out of it. Nevertheless, an ending means another beginning! I sooooo looking forward to it. 111108!

ps: i already uploaded all the photos i took in india onto facebook. There are 4 parts of the album altogether. enjoy!
