For a moment like this

Hey Hey!

It's a rainy season this whole month.. and i am pretty sure many of us enjoy the weather.. just that not many can enjoy the sun.. rain rain rain.. slp slp slp, that's exactly what i did during my secondary schools times during our holidays.. lazy to look for work as i have some commitments in Scouts. Well, the weather seems to be playing with us sometimes, planning to run and train on my stamina for NAPFA which will be held on the 19th of January for me.. a mindset was set ready to go but the rain was playing some games with me.. Haiz... Bad Luck i guess.. it went on and off..

Anyway, hopefully the NPC days would not be raining, or else we would have a very hard time.. haha.. but i just enjoy playing in the rain.. how about you? there was once someone who actually asked me to accompany her to the other bus stop when it was raining.. think we did enjoy ourselves. =)

Countdown to NPC would be 6 days to go.. So how is the preparation?? that is something I question myself on and afraid of.. Not much guidances from either side of the HQ or my unit, I am just one who listens and do things that I should or feel it is right.. glad there are some of my friends out there who listen to my complain though.. The common tests are also coming soon.. that increases the pressure i have inside me.. but well, i did not regret getting into these.. in fact i feel them as challenges i will face.. =) don't worry, be happy!

There are a few reasons why i chose to be in the logistic sub-committee before being appointed as the chief or in charge to say.. One of the main reasons is of course getting out to get expose to the world outside SSEG, and give my juniors a once in a lifetime experience on how major events are being run.. doubt a few will volunteer themselves to help in HQ.. Prove me Wrong! The other reason is of course my NYAA gold, intend to get it before I enlist, right ken? Other than nyaa, i guess i did not achieve much in my life, in terms of prizes or awards. Although i do not aim high, i do wish my parents to have a good boy at home =) and lastly, it is because, i want to change myself, in terms of the way i do things, and the confident i have, working with different people within the unit as well as the strangers to me... Along the way, my group of committee members are able to help our very own LSG who will be running a camp. Perhaps it will serve as a motivation (more man, more lucks) Sarimbun Dey, not else where like supporting from behind!! hahahaha..

Well i end my post here!

Making a Better World 4 U & 4 Me

I guess people blog because they have no one to talk to or the courage to speak is never high. hmm.. i can say that i am one of them too. Here are somethings that i used to think or started thinking....

Sometimes i wonder, why did i volunteer the other time?

Sometimes i wonder, how can i make someone stay to be happy?

Sometimes i wonder, why people can't forgive and forget or at least forgive (someone told me which i think it makes sense), won't the world be a much brighter and better place to live in?

Sometimes i wonder, when one get closer to another, will this person demands more?

Sometimes i wonder, how much can i hate a person until or like a person till?

Sometimes i wonder, when can we stop thinking about the unhappiness we all faced?

Sometimes i wonder, when can i stop?

Sometimes i wonder, when people say to cherish, no one actually would until something happens.
and sometimes i wonder, why wasn't I there when you needed me the most?

because sometimes i wonder, if i am helpless.

Before China-ing

Day 1 – 25th August 2008 (Monday)
Saying ‘Goodbye’ is not the words I used to my parents and siblings who are reluctant to see me leave, but it goes ‘Take Care, I’ll be back” when the group of Ngee Ann Polytechnic students is leaving for their Oversea Immersion Programme (OIP) to China.

The day was quite a sad one when this is the first time I will be leaving my country and family members for more than a month or so and not forgetting being alone. Looking at the bright side of life, I have my wonderful bunch of friends to keep me accompany, thus, this is also a time when I can get to know them even better, which is one of my personal goals at the end of this OIP. They are my working partners, enemies, study partners, sharing groups of friends and many more you can say. Futuremore, it also serves as an independent trip getting used to ‘survive or live’ without my parent’s supervision. This time, I have to settle my own daily meals, daily laundry and limiting the amount of money spent for this 6 weeks.

At the Airport, I observe that not many parents want their child to leave them as they are worried that something will happen to them especially to China where a case of earthquake happen not to long ago before this very day. I feel that there is a period of time where parents should ‘let them go’ and exposure their child as much as possible so that they will be able to get expose, gain personality such as confidence and some knowledge that are useful to their live. However, I can understand why parents feel that way. I feel sad for those who are far apart from their parents either they are overseas or not closed in terms of relationship. I think for those who are not closed to their parents because they chose to be should really reflect on themselves, they never know when they will miss them (mum’s cooking & care and concern which they took it for granted etc).

Having Common Test in China?

Road to Common Test

It started on Monday where I actually started studying for the coming SDC common test on Thursday. Many of us (my apartment group) had a 1-3 hours time to study daily excluding the lectures held in the morning, going through questions on tutorials as well as doing the past common test papers. It was a long week as every one of us fears the ‘stunning’ common test paper. I had Ryan and bobby to help me in understanding and to tackle questions that I did not know to solve. Appreciate the help from the both of them.

Well, it did not ended as well as what I think after I took the test on Thursday, instead I feel as though I did not do it well, getting an A. The questions are easy and I am sure I have done all of them doing the road to common test, just that something is missing over here. I believe some of the factors lie of the lack of practice, the quality of studying or do I not know my stuffs well enough. I do not know why but I feel that I am bad at doing well for any exams and tests, maybe is the confident level I have in myself. The challenge ahead will be greater as everyone wants to get an A of their own, especially if it will comes to my apartment friends. Damn pressurizing!

I will take this as a learning lesson, by making sure I can say really say I am ready and confident to do well for the final exam. Much practice is needed too. Wish me the best!

Giving but not getting

Something to think about...


"If you are closer to someone, does that also means the demand of someone will increase?"




Have you had this feeling of putting so much effort, but in the end, no one appreciates it? you are not alone.. share your feelings, you will feel better. Two words "thank you" were the hardest words that came out my mouth, thus affecting those who help me before, which i much regretted. Felt the same way as them if i am in their shoes.


I am sure most of us have experience it before unless you are one that doesn't have any feelings, Cold-blooded people which i use to see them most of the time out there. It's not late to change a little bit of yourself =) Good luck!


Another thing will be have you want help but it never comes? I am sure you will be sad or angry, for a period of a short time or perhaps, a longer period. Do look on the bright side of life, at least you know she's out there, just that she's busy with something else.
If you have not encounter it, do give a helping hand, someone out there will appreciate much.


Very much of time during my help out as a senior boy, i was mostly with myself, the drive for me to stay on was from my batch, a deal that we striked before we are L and not forgetting the people around me, friends and close ones, they are the ones who motivates. Apart from that, do not question me about my passion, it's still burning well, just that it relights a number of times, how long could i last? I don't really understand why people leave and go like that, it really demotivate the rest as well as the well being of the group.

Think about this, "留下的人依然最痛苦(the guy staying is suffering the most)", just like when your loved ones leave this world, how would you feel?

Spend a little bit of time thinking, Spare a thought. The Smile on your Face makes a difference! If your friends don have one, do get them yours =)

IAP

I was atttached to General Electrics Aviation Service Operations (GEASO), which is one of the major companies to perform component repair in GE under technology department (aviation). It is located at Loyang Industrial Estate, loyang way. Heard of GE before? Well, i never until i got into the company, din know it is one of the largest company in the world. The nearest MRT will be Pasir Ris then u take bus no 6 to get there, but luckily there are bus services provided to bring us there from my house nearby, both bringing me there and back home but to some destination MRT stations, bus interchange etc. The nearest to my place will be Clementi interchange, and to get home, probably by 1730 i can reached.

My attachment period starts from 3rd of March to the 8th of August. A date most of them will remember especially the world who is looking forward to for the olympics in Beijing and for chinese 080808, an auspicious number for babies and marriage. As for me, it is a day i really look forward to, whether at the end of my IAP, i gain some valuable 'things or probably a lesson?' and not forgetting my support for scouts, been disappearing much. So exactly what i do in GEASO, that's a hot question everyone asked me, but seldom they ask whether i'm happy working there.. guess many don bother..

I was attached to the turbine blades department. Blades are assembled together to form a circle or series of blades, which is found on many aircraft engine. The engine consists of three major sections: an air compressor, a combustor and a turbine. In a turbine, this series of blades are found. Yup, you may find it boring and stressful working in the company as their demands are pretty high (from the way how i see the engineers work) and knowing the "dead stuff", following manuals and manuals to get things repaired with the minimum amount of resources, make customers happy and that's it, case close. In GEASO, many of the employees have to go through trainings before being employed in a company. This training is called the six sigma (green belt, black belt etc). The take-kuan-dough ranks are similar to it. So now, do you want to reconsider where you would like to work?


I remembered the first day I was at work was also the day wy started work too. we both had this msg sent by hl, wishing us the best in our work which i think we really appreciate it much. This msg was kept with me until today where i actually deleted it with him around. no reason why i actually do that though. It serves as a motivation, sickening stuff to receive or maybe something that i don receive but i din know how to describe it. but it definitely serves as a motivation at that point of time i receive the msg, it really make my day. Hope to receive more from you in the future? Get it? I believe most of us need a little bit of encouragement to do things better or start doing things. One example will be getting my NYAA, thereafter when a friend of mine got it, i was thinking what i seeking for in life? To be the best, the best that i can be. I decided to go for it and i am sure i will get it. Wish me the best! =D

It's been an enriching experience for me for these pass 51/2 months in GEASO. haha.. not expecting much since i know they are 'just' like this, and of course i don want to owe them anything. hope they just appreciate my help and gifts. My supervisor send me this msg which says "Sorry, didn't have the chance to say goodbye. Pls update me on my presentation and grade, thanks for the gifts and play hard before its too late!" glad they appreciate.

I really appreciate the help and guidance they have offered to me in many projects that enable me to help the company in a way or another, especially those substantiation documents (to prove that we are capable do the types of repairs) and operation sheets and of course know the ahga ahga jobscope of an engineer, perhaps a career i will wish to be involved.

Thanks GE

Water Activities at Mount Faber Safra

it was a beautiful day, a day to look forward to by the scouts and myself. I have to overcome my little fear of water which had been always in me for quite some time after an incident when my neck was tangled by some ropes used for grabbing in a water rafting activity. That was like donkey years ago but i still remember quite clearly, maybe it's a phobia i guess.

I was late as I had a bad stomachache in the morning, making three businesses at one go. KD was there with me. was quite glad that he actually came for this scout meeting, moreover it's after his night duty in the army which he didn;t tell me until the day. heha..

I'm quite afraid of water to say especially when my legs aren't able to touch the floor of the swimming pool. On this day, The scouts are having water activities at Mount Faber Safra. It was quite a cool place to go to, should try one day if you never. We had fun, laughter, cheering and some booing.. The games the scouts, ventures, leaders/Rovers played are chariot race, fullest pail (don really know the name of the game) and some other games prepared by the 'instructors'. Rafting was introduced at the start of the whole event just for the scouts. It is pretty boring for us leaders as we had did it quite a number of time, but with more fun with waves and strict timing, that time, the inter-patrol games also added much more fun as we competed to be the best.

After the event, i was asked to accompany HL to swim and at the same time learn to swim the right way.i managed to swim but i only hit the halfway mark of about 20m. Hhaha i t was quite an achievement then. I felt better and hotter too, got a little bit tanned.
haha.. Before i end off, I promise that i will learn to swim before i get into the army so that i can skip those 'extra lessons' and of course for my own good i guess, right?
