Today, we graduated from Chemical Process Technology Centre (CPTC). what a day it was for all of us and how much it meant to us. we'll definately be missing all the peepz in the centre..

Hmm, Im not gonna forget all the fun times we had on CPTC.. the day and night shifts that we got.. and all the very small details that we enjoyed during this 6-week long training. Time really flies too soon.. I remembered the first day entering CPTC and everyone felt like its going to be a terrible nightmare but it turned out to be such a great place..And Im certainly missing our trainers Han, Tan, Goh, Shi nuo and many others. Suddenly, it got me thinking of the days in Vietnam and when we left Hoa Sua School. Hahah!

Ive been getting emotional lately and I dont know if its the right time to feel the way i feel right now.. it certainly hasnt been like that for quite a while.

Oh well... take care.

it's been a month since i got back from the UK.. ! you see, time really flies right? well, ever since i got back, life has got a little more busier than usual. that's the way I feel ! hmm, and with the training that's lined up for us even during our supposed holidays, i hardly have the time to catch a breather. that's life.

guess what? i've got the results of my attachment! and im very very pleased with it..! it's really kept the hopes of my getting into a local U alive. then again, i wouldnt know the challenges ahead of me. right now, the things in my mind are just all about my future.

for all i know, the next four months would just be like a breeze and before i even realised it, everything would be over. the next phase of my life will be entering National Service, serving my country. :)

I'm really confused over what's ahead of me, it's really tough feeling that way and sometimes i would rather not think about it at all.

to all the people who i've known, im sorry that we havent kept in close contact for so long. im looking forward to meet lots of friends that i yearn to see after so long though without having the chance to do so.

school will be starting in 3 weeks time. oh my goodness. its back to school, after such a long break away.

genx signing off.

ive been missin' u

you work, you work harder; you break down.

you work, you take a rest; you work better.


cheers

there and back again...

yes, im back! 5 months flew.. and here am i standing on the ground that i was born. im in Singapore! well, all i can say now is that im having mixed feelings. at times, i feel excited and anxious to be back, and on other times, there's this deep heart wrenching feel down under. because i hate the feeling of parting. sometimes, i ask myself, "will I ever get to see him or her again?". many times, the answer is "Unlikely". We all know that the unlikely is undoubtedly known as a big NO. I would not know, I chose not to.

But I had my fair share of hard work, joy, fun, pain, laughter, sadness, stress, holidays, jobs... the list goes on. So many things Ive experienced all throughout the 5 months. I felt that I've certainly gained another level of knowledge.

I recalled the first day when I came to UK. All was well except that I didn't have a single clue about preparing my own dishes, I didn't know how much water to add to cook my rice without it turning too hard or soggy, I didn't know how much washing powder to add for my load of laundry. I've learnt it all.

5 months didnt seem to long to me, but tons of memories are in it. I would recall so many things like having parties, playing PS2 with Louis and Zhi yu, solving crosswords with Jon and Atky, having senseless debates with Tom, and correcting my English with Louis, BBQ, buffet dinner, holidays to italy, playing football with chinese and afghans... hahaha.

Whilst on my way back, I thought to myself. Life goes on.. and indeed it's going on. Chris would still be in the electrochem Lab, the Kebab seller in Berlin is still selling his Doner, the Gondola man would still be working in Venice, the usher will still be guiding kids in Disneyland, the receptionist in City Hostel will still be taking his shift --- Everything goes on.

I'm glad and I'm sad.

I wouldn't know if anyone from the University of Newcastle would be reading this but all I can say --- a big THANK YOU for the people from Singapore Society. Thanks to Juni, Nelly, Eugene, Jerome, Wanling, Alvin... and many others, for getting us drunk right on the first day in UK. Especial thanks to Juni for inviting us over to her place for dinner every now and then. I certainly feel that we'll get to see you in Singapore one day and I'm gonna give you a big treat!

The last 11 days spent in Europe was great in many ways. We went to France, Switzerland and Germany. I know I know, it's everybody's wish. They'll have their chance. I only had it earlier. I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in airports, having One proper meal a day, having biscuits for all other meals and carrying luggages around touring the streets of Paris, Geneva and Berlin.
I've learnt so much more about planning trips and backpacking and I would love to travel more.

I'll continue missing Newcastle, UK and Europe. For now, it's Singapore!

okay, i know it now. i have to start taking more responsibilities up my shoulders because my sister will not be able to handle them all alone. i will i must and i am going to do so. hehhhh.... guilty for the past few months that ive left. so many things happened at home. though they're trivial, the trivial many is going to have the impact of a crucial one. and i do mind as well. so.. that's it. more responsibilites.

i guess it's no more time to be nonsensical and senseless huh.. its now rational stuffs, got to be serious now. my bro's having his N lvls in a month's time and i cant do anything about it-- for now! I'll be back to control him. hehehh...

looking back the pages of my life, i guess ive really changed...

The day hasnt been at all great..

I fell sick eventually. Well I expected it all along and that I knew that this day would come, slowly but surely. Down with flu and a slight fever. The weather here kind of turned nasty for the past week. It was getting to 7 degrees on summer and that might be the cause of it. I just wanna get back to Singapore to meet my family and my friends. One wouldnt really know how much a family mean to him unless he experienced the absence of them... hehh..

Anyways, found some great songs and probably get it loaded :D

take care peeps.
