Life in Singapore: Study or have fun?

Had several mixed feelings and realization today when speaking to a new staff from my other branch.

1. Anger
Thanks to another colleague of mine who never cease to make things worse, you dont come to a guy to say why never reply his message. Bitch please, obviously you know how busy we are.

I approach him when i am more free and formally introduce myself, starting off with a good start. Then i bring in another colleague who feels he is condemned and encourage him, bringing the other point

2. JC very lepak
Hell no, i placed so much emphasis on getting to uni that my hair turn grey, neglect my social life in school just for a gamble at the end of 2 yr

3. The outside work hard to find job
Thats what i keep stressing on. But this new colleague asked me just one simple question that bust my myth. Have you tried working in your research industry.

4. Uni life very stress
True in a way, if you aim for good grades. I chiong so hard in my first yr that i got super good grades. However during my 2nd yr, the steam dies off and my grade drop no matter how much effort you put in. I was very jaded at that time, which brings me to the last point

5. Your grades count
It dont, trust me..... i got a 2nd lower level, he just have to ask.....
Continuing on, my grade drop to barely passing grade during my 2nd year. What gives me a new breather is taking minor in entreprenuership in my 2nd year end holiday.

6. Other achievement counts and uni life is where you rock n roll
I totally lost interest in studying aft taking my minor. I skipped classes, sleep in class, stop asking professor question, never read up my notes and it got so worse that on my 3rd yr second sem, i literally never study till the last week just to take part in lots of startup competition, hang out with friends and have fun!!!
Thats where i get to know a group of lepak but steady buddies and a group of funny and reliable ladies.

7. Street smart!!!!
But my grades improved instead.... surprise surprise! I literally find the right way to study/exploit mwhahahaha!

8. Last chance of having fun
And guess what, i continue to have fun after my entreprenuership competitions. I joined a CCA! (Yes Finally) in my final year, join the FOC and another camp called TOC, took up a subcomm position, organise their retreat and literally make a lot of life long friends!
YOLO!!!

9.The fun never ends
And just when you thought my affinity with NTU ended after graduating, i volunteered for Junior World Entrepreneurship 2013 1 day after i finished my internship and become the best facilitator. And that was how I was introduced to Enactus, another CC and joined it after graduating

10. It is your soul!
When i was at the downpoint of my first job, i finally understand why everyone looks like they lose their soul after working in the society for a period of time.
These are the reason. I was so jaded at that point and my mind almost collapsed, i was on the verge of leaving my job, losing my deposit to the agency, which i did eventually.

But what restored me is going to a FOC after graduating! Had really so much fun and feeling so hopeful again. Thats what keep me moving and though i lost my job the day when i came back from my chalet. I was relived and full again!

11.Forever Young
I kept going back to Enactus and TKD subsequently, even after 2 years as an alumni, i had some place to go back and call home;TKD!!! So glad and never regret!!!

Congratulation Albert Ng

I would like to sent my congratulation Albert Ng. May you have a bliss wedding, bai tou dao lao.

25th Dec, is christmas, concidentally it is Albert wedding. It started at 730pm. Well the dishes started to serve at 830pm. The food is nice and the host did a good job. Never do i expect to see Jasper there. Ha!!! Well they are schoolmate. What a small world. Anyway i have a glass of red wine since there is no white wine there. Sigh!. Well it okay, i have a fine time there catching up with others.

Journey to Bangkok 4

Journey to Bangkok, Journey to Bangkok, Journey to Bangkok.
Are you all sicked of it already.
Sorry about that, but i feel that i gain a lot from this trip to Bangkok and i would like to share with all of you.
Yea i enjoy myself there but most importantly, i realise like that to help others, it does not need to be a very big help. Everyone can do charity, even a little effort count. My master said, the harder it is for you to donate, the more significant this deed meant. Yup, so no tori. This is right.
A billionaire could donate some spare change of his like few thousand, and no doubt this is a big sum to us. But do they really have the heart to donate 10% of their asset. People no matter you are rich or poor, you can help.
As Loong Phor Thong said, "If you do not have money, you can contribute physically".
Well it is the thought that count.
Lets us all made a difference.

Journey to Bangkok 3

Though fun, and enlightening.
I had my share of sickness.
I was down with a flu before the vacation.
For the first 2 day, it was like hell to me.
Luckily the travelling time is very long, and i get to sleep most of the day.
Bangkok is very big. And travelling is unlike singapore, where the travelling time could take
hours to reach instead of few minutes.
There is lots of highway is bangkok and there is more shophouses then high rise building there.
At the end of the second day, i was feeling better, but somehow what goes in, never goes out.
I was unable to excrete. Damn.
On the third day, i started spamming on vegetables but it was useless.
On the fourth day, i gave up. Miraculously my streak of days with constipation ended when i landed on Singapore. Thanks God!!!!
However, i am not the only one who is sick.
My mother was having headache and even vomitted when shopping in MBK.
Oh my. For the rest of the day, she was not feeling well. To add on to her suffering,
our master asked us to make a 1 1/2 hour journey to a river for prayers.
Man she almost fainted during the long, disturbing journey.
I help her to masssage her head and prayed for her recovery.
Somehow she recovered. Phew.
Thanks God !!!!!
This trip to thailand is really unforgetable

Journey to Bangkok 2

During my trip to Bangkok beside shopping,
i went for prayers and also to visit my master Loong Phor Thong.
I feel enlightened and i find that a phrase of his, very motivating and
i would like to share with all of you.
He said Success or failure all lies in the heart.
Which i feel is obvious but we often overlook it.
I feel that this semester exam is a result of me being less determined.
I was not ready to study and work hard due to myself being indulged in
my ORD mood. Had i been more determined and pushed myself further,
i would not end up with such predicament.
Well no choice, hopefully next semester, would be better.
Through my journey around Bangkok, i realise that we Singaporean were more fortunate.
In Singapore, there is not many beggar sitting around the street.
But in Bangkok there is lots of them.
Sigh, how i wish i had the power to help them.
Somehow, through my master, i learn that in order to help others,
we had to help the people directly around us.
First our family, then our friends.
Well i am determined to help them and i try to find means to help those in need.
This trip is truly spritually and mentally enriching

Journey to Bangkok 1

Thailand was fine, the first day i reached, i did nothing else but to check in and sleep.
Sigh!!!!
But i get to eat out, and the food was great.
On day 2, i went to Platnium to shop, and manage to get a few shirts at a good price.
My mom and sister managed to grab a few deal but somehow, the things i buy were kind of overprice. For example the takoyaki i bought cause $2.5 and the chewing gum i bought were more expensive by 1 Baht. Not that i care much about it but i hate the feeling of not grabbing up good deal.
Day 3 was about the same, i went MBK, where i am more familiar with.
I bought cake that cost about the same as in Singapore whereas my Mom managed to buy dognuts from Mister dognut that cost 3 times lesser than my bread and cake. Sigh
10 bahts!!!!!
The game i bought is the same as the one i own except with a different cover and the jacket i bought cost more than in bugis.
What is wrong with me.
So suay.

Yo guys i am back

Hey guys i am back.
