Rabbit




Not sure why this place named itself after a dainty animal.


But lunch was really good. Had horfun with shark fin's and abalone.

The Aftermath




Managed to pamper ourselves after a stressful paper. Coffee is bad.


Another one on Sat.


The Titanium card finally came. A compelling reason why all the stress is worth it.


At last we can see the rec0very of the mkt.

Life

Being a trainee has its own advantages and disadvantages.


The upsides would be having to sit in conference rooms the entire day and still get paid. Longer lunch breaks are a plus as well.


But that's about it.


There are more disadvantages.



You get body aches for sitting too long. And you get fatter at the same time.


You don't get to see much of the sun. You would gladly stay back till 11pm just to study.


You get stress over the weekly exams. Failure may mean termination.


If I am to be shown the door, I think I would apply for social escort.






And get the taitais to get me these watches.





And to get them to invest in these funds for me now.


But right now, I prefer to work hard to get through my papers.

I Love My Samsung




Even with the gauge screaming 'Empty' and the petrol indicator was on, I rushed to Burlington Square to collect my theatre system with Gerrie. Had a little trouble carrying it. Met Darren but few words were exchanged.


And yes, I managed to return home with an empty tank. Topped it up just now at my place.


Because of my exams, I am unable to spend more time with Gerrie. I even have to skip NHSS gathering party at Yuan Yuan's place. Sigh.





Anticipating the arrival of the LCD I purchased yesterday.





If only it comes together with wii!

Reflection

I'm well fed today. Had breakfast at Old Chang Kee before attending orientation. There were many others from different units and I chatted with people from Bkg and IT 0ps. Being in the back-room once helped created a couple of topics.


We were fed with breakfast during one of the breaks and Cheong and I were too full to have lunch and had coffee at TCC instead. We ended spending more than what a normal luncheon would have cost. But TCC was a place to see and be seen. There were many familiar faces, largely from H5BC.


Another round of food for afternoon tea made me bloated. I even had chocolate. Both 72% and 96% cocoa. The latter was too bitter for my liking.


There were many games played during the orientation, including those 'touchy-feeling' ones. And one particular question stood out


"Have you ever planned something and it came true?"


I gave a resounding 'yes' in my mind.


There was this mind-map pasted on the wall in my bunk during the NS days. Decisions like whether to study FT/PT and my route to be a b@nker. After 2 years of study and an accumulation of experience from working at H5BC, I am finally on the threshold of a brilliant career.





But for now, I have to pass 3 more papers.

Convocation




This is Gerrie in her UQ grad gown over 2 years ago.





Today, we celebrate the success of many.





Noticed Vanessa's name in the list. But pity she wasn't there tonight.





More pictures later. I couldn't find my card reader and thus couldn't transfer the photos to the PC.





Good night.

Busy

Training has been rushing and my sleep had been compromised. Had been busy studying and glad the paper went well this morning.


3 more papers to go!


At least there's something to look forward next week.





Have to sleep now.

Beat This

We all know how flute sounds like. We have all heard beat-boxing.


But have you heard how a combination of flute and beat-boxing sound like?

First Day of Work

A pleasant surprise.


They adjusted graduates' salary. =)


This week marks the death of my social life.


7 working days a week is no joke.


P.S. To my 'neighbour' and those who have been gossiping about Blackathy in the forum, all of you can just drop dead. Thanks Gus!

Sold




Just a minute ago, I sold my PSP and am $300 richer.


Congrats to John. In addition to all the accessories, I gave him the Blood Diamond movie file and over 100 mp3s. He didn't turn out to be a geek. But a very nice uncle who's buying it for his son. So sweet.


I love eBay!


Apologies to Thereslian88. You were a few hours late. Happy birthday to your nephew though.

After 3 days of effort...

The makeover started on Wednesday.





Waited the entire day to have the kit fixed up. But majority of the time spent was waiting for Anthony to arrive. But at least we managed to book an appointment with the spray painter and changed the exh@ust tip.





Spent another day for the spray.





An impulsive decision caused me to waste money. 17" rims were beautiful, but too heavy.





Loss of power was obvious. Steering beacame heavier and the steering wheel was shaking.


Thus, a third trip was made.





There we go... the 16" rims.





After 3 days of waiting and over $1050, my dad chipped the kit.


Sianz.

I Can Only Imagine

GXG gave me the following link.





A story of a man who 'battled' through an Iron Man challenge together with his handicapped son. The video displayed a love story of a father's to give his son a better life. A life that transcends the physical ability of his son.


Then I began to concentrate on the lyrics.





Suddenly I felt so broken. The Father provides but I took everything for granted and even pursue the wrong things in life. Have been feeling emo these days. Being insecure about the future, even though I am offered a new job and just gotten the degree. I worry about not being able to pay off the credit card bills, worry about how things will turn out, and even think how people view me when they are doctors and all...



The MTV


But this song made me realised I'm focusing on the wrong things. Things that I had placed too much emphasis on. I felt so broken yet filled with love and warmth at the same time. I love this song so much that I could just listen to it the whole night.



The lyrics.


Below is a video of Dick Hoyt's love for his son, Rick.


I can only imagine our Father's love.





If Dick can do all these for his son, imagine what our Father can do for us.


I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side...
I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your Face is before me!
I can only imagine.


Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine, when that day comes, when I find myself standing in the Sun!
I can only imagine, when all I will do, is forever, forever worship You!
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
