Camp Temptation 09 Day 3

Camp Temptation 09 Day 2

Camp Temptation Day 2 was one hell of crazy day.We woke up as early as 8am,noting the fact that the day before we slept at 2am. We had Nasi Lemak for breakfast. Another meal with low protein content. Afterward, we waited for the rain to stop before starting our amazing race. Throughout the race, we been around tampines area to chinatown area. We had our lunch at Maxwell Food Centre. The variety was vast, but we were bounded by the challenge. The challenge was to eat 4 plates of noodle, 2 plate of rice, 7 drinks and 4 dessert with limited budget. It kind of suck, we kind of top up our budget. But surely, without the budget i would go on a eating spree.
At 6pm, we made it back to the resort, where we bath and dressed up for the SP Date night.
My partner was given the tag, Belle from Twilight.This goes without, i am Edward from Twilight.The most humourous partners was Yang Guo and little dragon girl from Condor Lovers. They sounded so cliche. Well we were supposed to invite our female counterpart out of the room. Yang Guo was damned hardcore. He shouted, "Gugu, my hand had recovered after 18 years, please come out etc etc etc". The Xiu Ying replied,"Go and break your leg then i would come out, you are so lame.". Lol.

Camp Temptation 09

On 21July,i went to NTU NPCC orientation camp.We met at Pionner MRT where i was banded to Mars group. After which we procceded to NTU.
We started off we playing some usual ice-breaker games like wacko. Through this game, we got to know each other better. After a few ice-breaker game, we pitted ourselves against another group, Venus. The most memorable game was the first game,where we played soccer cum netball on the street soccer court.Needless to say, i choose soccer.Our scoreline was 3-3 till the dying minutes of the 2nd half where i scored a goal from half court to clinch the winner. We played others games like snake and ladder,..... .
After the games,we conducted SP dating and lunch at the same time. My partner was Yong Qi.
We did not really "date" like planned as we were busy mingling with Jason and Cynthia. Well i had no interest in finding a girlfriend yet. So i think its okay.
After lunch we moved on to NTU amazing race,where we roamed the campus looking for the station master. Dinner was held on its food court.
After dinner, we went took at 1 hour and 16mins journey from Pionner to Pasir Ris, Coasta Sand resort to stay. During the journey, i was sleeping throughout. Guess i am beat from all the activites.
At the chalet, just when i thought we could call it a day, night activities had just begun. Jaunice was having a fever then, so she was sent home. Sigh, but its okay, health come first.Anyway,i enjoyed the activites held especially the night walk where they blindfold us. The finale for the night was to crawl through a puddle of stink junk laid on a poncho. We smelled like crap after

Dinner at Putain restaurant

I had a splendid dinner at a Putain style restaurant on Vivo City.
The dishes were colourful and innovative.
The Lor mee had a white sauce instead of its usual black gravy.
What left me mouth watering was the sea-weed soup that tasted like shark fin soup.
And who can forget the innovative mixture of eggplant and pork floss.

Never ask, never know what you might get

I learnt something from Kelvin after i quit my job.
He praise me for being able to bring out the courage to ask for testimonial.
This words he told me enlightened me and i hope this would inspire you too.
Never ask, u never know.
This mean that if you never ask, you never know what you might get.
What i lack and most of us lack, is the extra push and courage to go a step further.
Asking is just another example of garnering courage to step into the unexploring terrian.

16th July last day of work

I decided to stop my work on the 16th of July 2009 at Banta RR Donelly.
During my 1.5 month at there, i made lots of friends and learnt lots of stuff there.
During this duration, i learnt how to work as a team, and how to overlook other weakness and bring out the best in others. I also made highlight safety hazard such as the missing screw from the rack at the storage area and made several suggestion such as including an after note form for EQAT test and OBA test to facilitate the personnel taking over the next day. I felt that everyone has a part to play in the company even part-timer. Hence i suggested placing a suggestion box in the workplace for anyone to contribute their idea.

I felt that one of my greatest achievement was to improvise a new way to remove the label sticker such that the time taken to remove the label is halved. The current means to remove the label is by scrapping it manually or to use the hairdryer which waste electricity. My method is cost-effective and does not waste any natural resources.

Outburst!!!

I had never lay my fist on anyone so far, let alone in soccer game.
But somehow, i broke that clean sheet.
Yesterday during a soccer match at Swiss Club Road, a veteran old man, aged
around 60 year old challenged the ball with me. At that moment, he tripped me from behind,
and drove a punch straight down the top of my head. I was shocked and angry at that moment.
I did not expect him to punch me after gaving me a hard tackle. I got up from my fall, demanded an explaination from him. In a fit of anger, i gave him a cheap shot to his face, and i backed down. As expected his teammate flare up and threatened to attck me. Things occured too fast for me to realise the gravity of situation. It did not struck me that i lay my head on an old man. The irony is, the old man happened to be the one to start it. I gave my deepest apology for laying my hand on him. Afterward, guilt-stricken, the old man apologised to me too, and he admitted it was his fault for starting the fight. Seriously this incident had left a deep scar in me.
I was disgusted at my action and i hope that i would be able to avoid history from repeating itself.

Triple Fall

What the hell.
With 4 hours of sleep, i dragged myself to work.
I slept on the train, at the workplace but my headache still wont go away.
I struggled to focus on my work but time seemed like ethernal to me.
Somehow, i managed to hold on till 5pm and i break away like a bird trapped in a cage
believing that it is the end of my bad day.
Well this does not seem to be the case.
When i got down my shuttle bus, in a hurry to ask Yinlin, my superior is there work today?
I missed a step and fell down from the bus.
Upon getting up, my colleague tripped on me, and i fell again.
After getting up, i turn around, and a lady 2 times bigger than me bang against me.
I fell again.
What is going on?
Ang said that it is my lucky day.
Cause i have been banging 3 times in a row.
Damn it

Catch-up

Its has been 3 weeks since i blogged. Many things had happened during this duration.
The most memorable thing i remember was on Monday. It was my offday, so i went to the gym with ang to work out. After our workout we went to the Bk at Tiong for lunch before proceeding to Vivo-city for some window shopping. I was seeking for some loud clothes(Clothes with audacious words printed on it ). I wanted to wear it to my Orientation Camp on the 21st.
Well to no avail, i did not managed to find it.What i purchase was a box of 6 donut from dipping donut and a box of salmon sushi from Vivo-mart. Before purchasing my sushi, i was caught in a dilemma of whether to choose the salmon roll or the sushi with salmon placed above the rice.
Well i choose the first one. Bad choice, i could hardly taste the sushi. Well we left at 4pm after eating the sushi. When we thought that is all the activites for the day, Ken called and we met for dinner at Sushi Te located at PS. Well after dinner, we went TCC for coffee, but this time round i refrain from ordering as i felt that i have spent too much money for the day. At 10pm, we went to Boat Quay, Jab1 for a drink. Feeling rich, Ang opened a bottle. I had a cup only as i had to work the following day. Well amazingly, i somehow feel very relaxed today, although i spent quite a lot. This seems like a vacation to me.
