Taiwan oh Taiwan XD

Hohohoho... See the title? Guess what? I'm going to Taiwan! hahaha.. XD However, it's still subject to visa approval and I'm going to submit the application form today. hihihih... Earlier last week, when the company annual trip invitation was first sent out, I bewildered about whether to join the trip or not. I and Adi decided to ask the HR person first before replying the email, but unfortunately the person seemed to be busy and in the end we couldn't talk to her. Due to time constraint, we just simply replied the email stating our intention to join the trip. After a while, Adi showed up and told me that the trip wasn't meant for us, the guy from his department told him 'bout diz. I was like, wad the... since I hadn't received any reply from the guy in my department.. So I decided to wait til' the next day, in which still no reply came so I wrote another email to him stating that I withdrew from the trip and explained the reasons. Then suddenly the guy replied my email and asked me to call him. On the phone, he told me that actually the HR lady had told him that our head of department had given us permission to join this trip so he wondered why I withdrew. After lunch, me and Adi had a talk with him, since Adi was still confuse whether to go or not. The guy then showed us the email sent by the HR lady regarding the permission for us to go for the trip, and I also spotted the word 'exceptional' hahaha.. Actually attachment students can't join this trip, but since our head of department have given permission, so it's an exceptional case for us :P XD Everything was clear then.. Yosh... ^^

Haizzz it's raining again.. aaaa my laundry... >< Today I feel super duper dizzy and sleepy.. =.= =.= dunno why.. errr..

Week 15, Day 73/110

Here I go again.. Last weekend was very2 super duper fun! wakakka... Yeah, perhaps it was a lil' bit GJ, but I think that was fun.. ;) Originally, we only had one plan, going to Coffeebean at Boat Quay and have a chat til' late nite. However, suddenly Rica called me that day, and told me that Sofie was hospitalized the day before and asked me whether I could go to see her or not. In the end, I planned to go to SGH first to see Sofie and after that, Coffeebean time! I invited Ong and Muja to join also, and at SGH we met Rica XD After some chit-chat with Sofie, we went to VivoCity and had our dinner there. Jordan almost ruined our 'coffeebean' plan coz he wasn't sure to go, but we actually felt that going to Coffeebean was a quite 'bad' idea that time, since we were in a group of 5 ppl.. had to take 2 taxis to go back..... wew.. but in the end Jordan decided to go there straightaway after finishing his work, so.. no choice :P. While waiting for Jordan, Rica proposed to play pool and we were agree with her instantly! :P Huahahaha.. It's been a long2 time since last time I played pool and now I feel like I am addicted to pool :P wakkakaka XD in 1 hour we were able to play many2 rounds of 8 ball game and 9 ball game for the last round hohoho XD Finally, we joined Jordan in Coffeebean, there we played the 'number guessing' game again :P wakaaka.. anybody who lose (i.e he/she who guess the number correctly XD) will have to answer question proposed by others as honest as possible :P wakakkaa.. Some secrets were revealed that time muahahaha.... *evil laugh* Ard 2am in the morning, we went out from coffeebean and took a walk to Merlion area and had a GJ (read: unimportant) chit-chat there :P this part was very2 GJ one... :P lastly, we went back by taxis, but Moja chose to be alone in one taxi >< >< and 4 of us were in another taxi. Yooww... that's it :P XD

hmm.. quite boring here.. as always... but just now I got something to be done for the rest of this IA period.. hohohoh.. Have to extract information from the raw file *.ldif and save it back to *.csv file. hohoho... hmm, abt my love life.. I'm ready to let go of her, have to learn to let go of sumthin' anyway ... and love myself more.. yeah.. that's it.. So, for now, I have given up on you... Just let it flow and hoping that time will heal everything ... I know it might be a lil' bit "theoretic" but it's true that love is not possession, and to give love to others means happiness to others... Those memories will always be there, framed nicely in one corner of my mind..

So.. I end this journey.....

Week 14, Day 69/110

Yo! HOLA and FYP selection have been done! In the end, I chose Ong as my roomie and applied for Hall 16, his current room ^^;; hoho.. Here is the story.. On the last day of Hall registration period, which is last Monday, Raymond asked me to discuss sumthin'. He told me that he would apply for single room in which he should gave up his current room and he suggested me to apply his current room with my ex-roomie Ong :P Jordan, which currently stays in single room, also applied for single room next year and put Raymond as a roomie if the application to single room failed (and vice versa for Raymond). At last, I agreed with Raymond and... Yeah, now I'm hoping for the best outcome! Just let God do the rest .. ^^

By the way, congratzz to some of my friends who had done their baptism on last Saturday! The new life has just begun! ^^ The 3 holy days were very2 amazing. :D Happy Easter then to everyone! (I hope it's not too late hohoho...) The baptism video has been successfully transfered from DVcam to computer, but the size is very2 big (ard 6 gigs leh XD)! Wew.. Have to edit it somehow.. hihi..

It's 41 more days left for IA.. wew... which is ard 2 more months from now.. Hohohoh... Haf to prepare my IA report very2 soon.. =.=" The coming semester will be my final year in NTU as well as my final chance to study and ... erm.. XD hauhauhahaa... Yay! I got my first choice for FYP... :D The result has just out today! hohohoh.. I'll work on this project with my friend Venny (so far I only know her, there will be 2 more ppl joining us on this project ^^) I hope we had great times! Time flows so fast.. as always.. I feel like I just stepped my feet in NTU a year ago but I've been here for almost 3 years already! I miss my freshie times, when I explored NTU for the first time.. when I joined my first ECA.. when I managed to play LAN games such as CS and Warcraft.. XD Those times were a hard yet fun times... hohoho...

Aah.. sooo boring.. hahaha.. and the rain outside makes me wanna sleeppppp. Haf to go back to book..... hohoho... Jyaaa nee.. ^^

What I've Done

"In this farewell,
There is no blood,
There is no alibi,
Cause I’ve drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousands lies,
So let mercy come and wash away…

What I’ve Done,
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become,
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done…

Put to rest,
What you thought of me
While, I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty,
So let mercy come,
And wash away…

What I’ve Done,
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become,
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done…

For what I’ve done,
I start again,
And whatever pain may come,
Today this ends,
I’m forgiving what I’ve done…

I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become,
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done…

(Na,Na,Na) [Mike Shinoda!]

What I’ve Done,
What I’ve Done,
Forgiving what I’ve done…"

Troublesome day....

First.. When I woke up this morning, an 'asthma' struck me .. =.=" I dunno, it's not usual, but it wasn't that bad actually, at least I was still able to walk and had my breakfast and took a bath... ><" After bathing, I was thinking of having a leave again today, but in the end I decided to keep going. That was hard in the beginning, but eventually everything was getting better and better.. Huff.. I can breathe 'normally' now even though I felt it's still not 100% recovered.

Second.. My laptop's HD crashed (or wadeva' the name is since I couldn't even open My Computer -.-).. I was lucky it was only 1 partition that crashed.. Then I was looking for somebody in NTU who were available that time to send me the software from my sharing folder in NTU to recover the partition. Fortunately, my friend Yulia was still in her room, and was able to send me the software... Huff.. 1 problem solved... In the middle of scanning, suddenly the lappy was becoming soooo lagging... =.=" the problem was, there was an I/O error in the HD, I also din know why.. :s After a while, I stopped the scanning and continued with the recovery, and... lucky me, the files to be recovered were all there and I recovered them one by one... Since I couldn't access My Computer, I formatted the partition via Command Prompt ... and finally.. done ! ... That's it.. I hope this is the one and only problem I have to face wif this lappy...... (Actually this lappy is lent to me by Datacraft as IA student here :P)

Today is Maundy Thursday, the day when Jesus held the last supper with his 12 disciples... I will go to church these three consecutive days (tml is Good Friday, and the day after tml is Holy Saturday), and some of my friends will receive sacrament of baptism and confirmation on Saturday.. hoho..

Hm.. will continue reading the book from now on XD... hmmm.. hmmm....

Bright day...

Woke up late again today.. =.=" the funny thing is, the day before yesterday (i.e Monday) I also woke up late (7.04 am, exactly the same as today.. =.=" what a coincidence.. :P), and yesterday, it was Adi who woke up late :P I wonder if tml he will wake up late again XD so it's like we wake up late in turn :P:P hahaha.. Today got no seat in MRT so I haf to stand all the way to City Hall from Boon Lay and of course I couldn't enjoy my usual sleeping time in MRT... >< heuheuhe.. (*ga fentink berad...:P)

These 2 days I felt my head was gonna fell down after every 15 minutes reading the CCNA self study book.. v_v so sleepy ... especially after having lunch, at around 3pm, that's the 'worst' time here ... =.= Haizzzz.. Nothin' much to do now in the office, since the 'project' from my supervisor has been 'finished' (at least for now), but he himself now is overseas til' 10 April and got no more usual feedback and additional tasks, so... yeah nothin' much to do ... So I 'waste' my time by reading the CCNA self study book .. Not bad, at least I could gain sumthin' from reading that book, and also to prepare my 'future' *jieeeh.. XD XD If you don't know about CCNA, I'll tell you briefly here.

CCNA is a Cisco Certified Network Associate, which is a foundation to Cisco networking technology as well as the lowest Cisco certification available (got 2 more certifications above CCNA, they are CCNP and CCIE). Quoted from Cisco website : "CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, IGRP, Serial, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists". Yeah, sorry if you are not interested in networking, but as I promised, I only tell you 'briefly' wad.. :P

So, if you had at least CCNP (or if you aim higher, CCIE) it will be a quite distinct point in your resume when you apply for networking job fields. However, experience of working is still needed here if you wan to work in a big company, like for example in company where I'm working now i.e Datacraft (as attachment student of coz, not permanent employee :P), they would prefer to hire ppl who have at least 3-5 years of working experience in networking fields rather than a fresh graduate.

Hum, haf to start reading again.. hohoho.. hopefully the day is really as bright as it seems XD

~haf a nice dae then !~

The end of weekend...

Finally.. the flash for year book has finished yesterday.. hohooh XD It has been deployed to CD and should have been distributed by now (perhaps...:P) hohoho..

The rain was very very very.. heavy yesterday when I went out to church.. it was also accompanied with the heavy thunder.. and it seemed that the rain also affected 174's bus frequency.. ><><>< >< style="font-weight: bold;">Championship Cat 2007 @ Expo Hall but at the same time I also think that, it's too far... -.-"

Oh yeah, today is 1 April, April fool day! hahaaha.. Hopefully I am not fooled today :P The day b4 yesterday, I read from a website about top 10 worst April fool and I was like.. swt =.=" read one of the articles below:

Glenn Howlett's colleagues at London city hall thought they had dreamed up a great gag. They sent him a memo informing him that the really big report he was working on was going to be due early, in just two weeks. The tip-off was that the memo was dated April 1st. Ha Ha. Except Howlett didn't realize it was a joke. He received the memo while on vacation and immediately cut his vacation short and phoned the office to tell everyone to start getting busy. But as he contemplated the new deadline he worked himself up into an increasing state of panic, until soon he began to experience heart palpitations. Finally he collapsed from the stress and had to take leave from work. As he was recovering he realized it just wasn't worth risking his health to finish the report, so he filed for early retirement. At which point someone told him the early deadline was just a joke. He responded by suing for damages. As a consequence of his lawsuit, city hall banned employees from pulling any more pranks.

hohoho.. crazy ar.. You'll find another crazy April fool here hahaha.. just for fun lor and not to be tried at home!!! hahahaa..

~haf a nice dae then....~ XD
