it has been a while

...since the last time i wrote on my blog. part of that is due to my internship programme, my occasional hang out time with friends and family. today is actually quite a very memorable one. as the new beach has been constructed, my family decided to take a stroll there to enjoy the night chilling breeze. it was very peaceful and fun. plus there is a lot of stars in the sky. come to think of it, it is not always the scenery that makes one person's life more enriching. soimetimes, it can be attributed to the people you are with. years of studying abroad teach me that. also, do not always listen to others' stories. you may refer to them but do not take them as they are.
   there is always a flip side of the coin. look it, study it and only decide for your own. i am actually a person who seldom listens to others but the funny thing about me is that i like asking stories and experiences of others. part of me love hearing stories because i get used to it listening them from my late grandparents. story telling is such a fun activity if the storyteller is great. if not, disaster comes. =)
   more often than not, i will think of the peace and quiet times i had in sydney. i am beginning to adapt to lifestyle of being independent and alone. i dun feel insecured anymore. in fact, i love the only-me time. it is weird yet it is calm. i love the calm life.

the unexpected letter

when i was tidying my room yesterday afternoon, the thought of finding a letter from university is totally unexpected. opening up the letter, the thought of the usual reminder to enrol and update correspondence address crosses my mind. further read proves otherwise. it is actually a congratulatory letter from my associate dean. hohoho... the letter stated that i did quite well in one of the papers i did for 2010 first semester. i scored third. kind of happy to know that i did good for my first time in uni times.

when i enquired my mum about it, they said the letter was probably sent two months ago but nobody remembered to tell me =.= fine. at least i know now. this semester results are worse than ever. dun mention. no distinction. it is freaking hard actually. i reckon sydney university is trying to fail all of the students in order for students to repeat so that they can earn more money. ohh well, i am not really bothered by my results anymore because i have already done my best anyway.

today is my first day as a vacation trainee. so boring. a better way of expression is relaxing. as this is my first week, my job schedule is not released yet, hence, i spent my whole day reading the newspapers. my colleagues are quite nice too but there is this guy who likes to compliment himself frequently. can i suggest him to look at himself at the mirror? better dun, should maintain my image. bear with it chee seng, it is only 3 months anyway. besides, he only boast around the girls so, i am perfectly safe. in order to kill my boredom, i plan to bring my own laptop to office this wednesday and listen to songs. =)

it feels like home when.......

I always feel like I am home when I am so busy everyday and my 24 hours are never enough for everyday. My usual routine would be a brekkie with family then go shopping and come back. Then, it goes on to running family endless family errands and by the time I manage to catch my breath, it is time for dinner. After my dinner, my eyes would be so sleepy that I would jump into my bed. This routine is a good routine. How nice but I know I would get bored soon. Fortunately, I am starting to work this coming Monday. Wish me luck. Hope I can gain a lot of experience, know a lot of good friends and learn a lot of things that will be useful in life.

Although this is my first baby step in joining the corporate world, I hope I will not be too overwhelmed by it. And thanx a lot to friends who told me a few tips on survival as an intern.

Yesterday, I met up with old friends at a cafe. Kinda nice to meet old faces, it brings back the familiarity sense of belonging. One friend particularly talked so much until when the cafe was about to close, I did not realise it at all. Good thing. Hope to meet up again. And best of luck to Miss Low. She is heading back to city of Merlion soon so must ask her to jaga diri baik baik. And Mr Khaw, free must ajak me keluar. Why yesterday didn't bring camera? Were you scared I will tease you? Don't worry, I will give you facey one.

Blogger is finally home =)

when an act becomes a norm

it is amusing to me these days that for every group of friends, there is definitely one who will hold a camera. just when i dined out yesterday, i saw this person who kept taking photos of his friends using his DSLR. initially, i thought photo taking seems to be just a fad. however, the continuous sights of such an occasion seems to suggest that it has become a norm. to me, this culture is quite annoying. i understand for a fact if the picture is taken with the intention to guide a friend how to get there if he wants to go there or just want to keep it as memorabilia but i think people nowadays are doing it for the sake of doing it. what is the purpose of keep taking hundreds of pictures of your friends at the same spot? i wonder.......

i do admit that at first, it seems exciting to try something new, but now, i feel irritated. that's the reason i seldom bring my camera out anymore. for one, i know that a friend would definitely take it. for two, it is troublesome. a further thinking digs deeper and i see the trend that mostly asians would be very likely to hold a digital cam. is it only specific to asians who like to take pictures wherever they go. why can't we just have a good view and relax.   this is something i would really want to know.
