Wow that is ages since my last entry! Wonder anyone read my blog other than my gf =P

Still enjoying my life and live everyday to the fullest.
Jap language lesson is very interesting but getting tougher and confusing. Now i am studying things that was not covered in my poly days so it is really learning something new. Nvrtheless, i will continue to push on and treat it as a fun learning experience.
The new jap teacher was not so interesting as the previous one and as such lessen our interest to learn. My frd and i will be switching to a new teacher next term.
Gonna study really hard for the test next saturday!

Work was.. well 'Same shit different day'
This was the phrase the staff answer me when i asked them abt their work.
Realise this sentence is so true!
Planning to move on next year or even in September if gd opportunity comes along.
It is really time to move on and experience more.

The most joyous thing is.. one week to holiday in Kota Kinabalu!!
Flying off on 1st August to 6th. Backpack with no luggage.
It will be a great trip and also push the physical limit of my body to the peak as i trek up Mount KK and experience River Rafting together with my buddies.
Cant wait to get out of Spore for a gd break. I certainly need that.
Sorry baby, gonna abandon u in Spore.. wahaha =x

Without the need to burn midnite oil for exam, life is of slower pace then first half of the year.
It is great but on the other hand feels that i am wasting my time away.
Life is short, play hard and experience more. That is what i am pursuing.
O well, however, it usually involve $$ so there is also a restriction to what i can do within my financial limits.

That is Johnson's updated well-being. Signing off to enjoy the great sunday ahead.
N o ya forget that Xuefeng wants me to say "I love U"... here u go devil.

Watch Clash of the Titans yesterday in 3D.
Hmm so so movie with.. er.. not v much 3D in my opinion.
Nevertheless, it arouse my interest in Greek Mythology or stories about the Greek Gods.
Will go find out more.. when i m free.

2 months to go before exam. Surely i must make it this time. No excuses.
Timetable planned, mood set and ready to bury myself in the books again.
Gonna try waking up early in the morning to study instead of fighting with the zz monster at nite while trying to concentrate v v hard after a day at work.
I believe this is more effective and is quality instead of quantity usage of time.

Passed my IPPT in ICT.. haha.
Really unexpected but heck i pass it, get it over and take the $100!

i love feng feng!

Dragon Roared @ 2:17 PM

Attending my ICT (In camp training) from 16/3-29/3.
So far it is a enjoying experience of pure relaxation and just sort of 'visiting' the camp.
Next week will be slightly tougher as the whole batch of us (around 10 NSmen) will be require to sail. Anyway it is just a day out at sea and once in a year.. so enjoy it.
I am the newbie in my batch and it was a fun time hanging out with them.
A couple of them are the final call up for this ICT.
Moreover, I also treat this like a long break from my work.

Audit lesson started last week.
Now it is back to revision time and study study study for gd result.
Japanese lesson was fun but i missed a class last week due to Audit lesson.
Jap language will take a step back as i focus more of my attention on Audit.
Work hard and pass it this time round!

Glad that planning and reservation for Kota Kinabalu trip is 90% done.
The only task outstand is planning so fun place to go and backpacker's hostel to stay.
I believe this will be a fun trip and look forward to enjoy it.
Will be going on a tour to see whole of taiwan this year too.. but yet to settle the dates as apparently it is typhoon season from around june-sept.

Great weekend! Enjoy~

Making year 2010 a year to remember. That is my aim.
I am trying to make my life more colourful and wont have a sense of regret when i look back.
Since age is STILL on my side, gonna try some adventurous and thrilling activities.
For example, played river rafting in Bali, flying over treetops in Bangkok.. next would be mountain climbing in Kota Kinabalu.
The accomodation at Kinabalu mountain is a hot seller. Within days it is almost sold out. Luckily we manage to secure a room and hopefully the reservation is as expected.

Started studying Japanese language this year. It is fun and the feeling of acquiring a new knowledge (language) is good. Really enjoy each lesson and every minute in class.
Sadly, an unexpected burden was stacked on my shoulder this year. I still have to go attend classes for my last ACCA subject.
Made a hard decision to switch to Adv Audit & Assurance as it aids in future when i want to apply CPA. Though i dun quite like the subject but looking in longer term, it is worth it.

JOb hunting stops. Offer rejected.
Plans changed as I need to attend classes every Wednesday. Sigh.
After some thorough comparing of my options as well as trashing out all my thoughts.. the best decision as of now is stay put.
I seriously hope and pray that i made the right move.

Make your decision, choose your path and off you go ...
Walk where your heart leads you. It minimise any regrets later.

Didnt make it for my last ACCA ppr.. again.
Sad. Sigh.. This kinda ruin my career plans slightly. Some adjustments needs to be made.
Actually the moment i walk out of the exam hall, i knew i cant make it le.
Nvm pick myself up and try again.
However, was wondering if i should switch paper to take Adv Audit instead.
Let me ponder.
One thing for sure, the everynight-revision schedule gonna start again.

Another incident today sort of gave me a wake up call.
Am i really ready for the job switch?
It seemed that my basic knowledge is not up to the mark yet.
I seriously conceded my defeat today after failing miserably at the interview. Not fallen to questions asked but defeated by the interviewer's technical questions.
No blames on him. He is patient and asked good technical questions.
I am only shameful of myself.
There are really more to learn and areas to buck up.
Perhaps i should really think thrice if now is the right time to switch.

PLans dont always go according to what you want. It is how you adjust to changes.

Came back from Bangkok last Wednesday.
A gd shopping trip which i bought lots of clothing and CNY clothings too.
Guess i gonna 'stop' shopping in the next few mths to come.
Especially love the 'Flight of the Gibbon' where bb and i 'fly' over tree tops in the 120yrs old forest. The feeling of literally flying through the air make your adrenaline rush to the peak as your body prepare for your fear as well as the feeling of closer to death.
After the first leap, it becomes a norm and we fully enjoy the seconds in the air.
Definitely wish to try it again in Chang Mai.

CNY + Valentine's day.
The 2 happy days comes together this year. I believe CNY still prevails over Vday.
CNY is always a yearly routine jz like the previous years.
I always love CNY as it the time when u visit your relative.. yea see them yearly.
Other than Ang Bao, goodies.. few days off work and gd food are the things that i enjoy.

Zodiac/Animal sign PIG will have a great year ahead according to Feng Shui master.
That is gd news and i hope so especially in the area of career as i am making the switch.
Of cos i hope things are as great in the areas of health, relationship and wealth.
Huat ar!!
Enjoy the festive season!!

New year 2010!

I decided to make this year a special one. Try new things and make this yr a memorable one.

Japanese language course.
Attended 2 lesson so far. Cool, interesting and happy to make my brain work harder.
However i think i will be sort of recapping what i studied in my poly years in the first 6 mths.
Will be learning Hiragana for a year.
Not enuff for me to sit for the JLPT 4 exam to obtain a international cert.
Guess i can only attempt the exam next year after i studied Katakana. Is oki, this will make my foundation very strong and advance further will be easier.

Kota Kinabalu - Aug 2010
I want to conquer K. Kinabalu this year. I want to take a pic of myself on the summit of the highest mountain in south east asia!
This is something great that i want to achieve this year. Some thing.. wow!~
Glad that my friends will be joining me for this trip. Together we can make it to the top.
Looking forward to the gd climb and experience the >8 deg temperature on the way up.

Job hasnt been so great recently.
Lots of bad news and unpleasant situation.
Cant wait to move on for the good. Good news is employment will pick up this year according to Channel news asia.
Pray that i secure a job pretty soon and leave this hell.

Recently a similar question keep popping up:
"When r you getting married?"
I guess i am at the age of this problem. Honestly, i aint prepare to settle down yet esp when my career is shaky. If the income dont comes in, the rest will collapse.
So my ans is "Probably next year.. not sure yet"
Marriage is not on my priority list 'yet' but i know i need to tackle this issue soon.
