LEAD training today

Some might wanna ask, what does LEAD stands for?

Learn, Engage, Aspire, Develop.

What does this gets me?
1. rewarded with leadership training.
2. official recognition on academic transcript.
3. certificate signed by the Vice-Chancellor.

Now that makes me look back. What have I gotten from TP all these years. Nowadays, most companies are looking for people with soft skills, compared to technical skills where there is a super huge saturated market out there. However, there are just some people that do not, I stress...realize this.

So what happened today? Learnt a lot about time management, goals setting. Really useful, last time i went for such stuff in poly, where got cert one? and most of the time, its mostly bullshit.
Instead, I should have went for more of these yummy workshops. Get more certs...think back when I saw Zee's portfolio...OMG!

so much. Tsk...tsk...What have I been doing?

After today....change in resolutions goals.
1. Go nicer places in Australia to take scenic spots!!
2. Live life to the MAX!!
3. Go back Singapore, tell my family I love and appreciate them.
4. Get Certs.
5. Get MBA.
6. Repay education loan.

Was watching this funny clip of ah niu.


Wao. If there is someone in my heart now, I would actually feel so touched if someone actually sent me this.

Organic Biscuits are Yummy.

Kai bought me some yummy organic biscuits from Sydney.

I used to think that organic food was tasteless, and oh boy, I was so WRONG!! Maybe its due to the mass media that gives the misconception that organic food is utterly tasteless.

Heard from my dad that my sis is coming to Melbourne in Nov. Where should I bring her to...? :P

1. Smith Street...she will love it man.
2. Dolce Freddo...she might wanna stay after this.
3. Bring her to Melbourne Uni and RMIT.
4. Any suggestions?

1 project due on Monday. Hope I can finish it by Sunday man. . .then I will carry on to finish my PCP Assignment 1 Part 2. Not wise to waste time. Week 10 might be time straining.

Shit. Alot of pimples on my forehead...climate change?

Haven't booked air ticket yet...very sian. Fear of not passing my computing subjects. STRESS.

Birthday resolutions.. Ends to start.

Judith was asking me what are my birthday resolutions.

Oh well...what can i write?

1. Spend more time to graduate successfully.
2. Spend less time thinking of girls.
3. Read more self-help books.
4. Get a DSLR.
5. Befriend Life more.
6. Beckon Death more to some people.
7. Celebrate Birthday more.

Some friends may question me, why the 2nd point? The truth is, I'm still hurt from the last relationship. When you found someone you love and that person can let go of you and your feelings like 1,2,3 ...poof, It makes you wonder just how much can you trust a girl to be with her. I think currently, unless a miracle happens, there is simply no chance at all. I used to think getting a girlfriend was all that matters in my life, but thats now passe', it hardly or no longer appeals to me to see a woman and think of her as girlfriend material. Just more to an utter waste of time to think so much. This idea goes to the dogs.

Joan was telling me that most girls prefer bad boys...well its not the first time I heard it, but seriously, why should I contort myself to be like that? Whats the point? If some women like to be ill-treated, what can I say? If there is someone out there that cares for you, and you will completely drop him when your friends says so....I start to turn around and tell myself...why the hell was I being so nice to you for..?

Do you know...because of this, how much I really detest sitting too close to a girl now, friends are okay, but anything lower than that is a no-no. I don't feel shy, but I feel more to "keep me away.' And another thing, I do not gamble with money or go find chickens. So stop lubbing me together with it. In a way, I love every last moment of my last relationship, and I hate it to every last drop just as well.

I'm not queer or anything. But please... Gambling away what money your parents gave you to study is a waste. I rather gamble with something that belongs to me, etc; my life. I have been gambling with it since I was diagnosed with the illness. Telling me to stay put, do injury-free things. Don't exert myself...WTF. I'm not cut out for that. I rather expire happily then to be treated as a sick person. I wanna run, jump, fight, shout, snap for my remaining time that I can do all this, rather than lie down and wait for death to befriend me.

I want to live my life the way I want it to be before I go.

Syah.... Telling me that I'm trying too hard to be remembered. I don't even remember even wanting to be remembered by you. Just saying how's life to you if as good as asking you to tell me to F off. Have I done anything to you? Why I have a birthday party and invite you in the first place? Its not that I really wanted you to come, I only asked because someone else requested. You can enjoy yourself on trying to humiliate me, but I most of the time, instead of feeling angry, I often wonder what pleasure you gain from this..?

The idiot that keeps flaming me on my blog, do you not have anything else to do besides coming here when you are bored and hoping to piss me off? Please stop your childish behavior, though its not really like kids will listen much to what adults have to say. If you really think you are so right up there, try doing better things with your time like helping the sick or the poor, there's some freaking problem with your humanity. If your obnoxious brain still doesn't get it, try not hiding behind a computer or linking through someone else's blog to confuse me, maybe your brains are in your balls. If so, tell me your comments personally in front of me. Else, do get lost from my life and my blog, you have no right to comment on it.

Why are birthdays so important in my life? Because its there to prove that you have lived another year on the chart..the longer the years in front, the better right...? Why do birthdays have to be happy, why, you aren't happy to be living?

To the guys, when your girl compares you with her ex, how do you feel? You want life anew, but you can't let go.

My internet connection....waaaah.

I wonder what has happened to my internet connection at home, i just cannot seem to connect to the internet at all using my asus computer. Its always the case with the damn network. Strange enough, i can connect using my tablet pc.


At 12am today. I turned 23.

on the 14th,
Had dinner with Kevin, Muy Lip, Lee Ting, Danny, Desmond, Danielle and Zee at Ye Shanghai down Swanston St. Really spend alot of happy, unforgettable moments there..won't forget it. Desmond, Zee and Danielle got me a tripod and a cup. Then Kevin and friends got me a Trance CD. Pictures willl show on a later date when Danielle pass to me. Went home, gave remainder of the cake to Rui and Jack, seems she already prepared a box of rocche for me already. haha...then Jack gave me a mamee noodle pack...got separate wishings from Lynne and Latha as well.

on the 15th,
Kai wished me happy birthday for the third time. Xiqi also. Then went out with Judith for dinner at meji japanese cafe. Yay...tried sake again! Judith didn't like its taste though, haha, then we went freddo and it was her 1st time going there for ice cream...saw danny and eric...

My home connection is down, cannot chat with parents or celebrate birthday with them. :( then judith called me again to come down, and there she was with the birthday cake she bought. So touched. Then when up to cut cake and distribute to friend who have not yet slept. But then my dad heard judith in the background while talking , wonder what he is going to think?? :P but pek chek the toopid internet, cannot connect to use the webcam to celebrate with my family the cake they bought for me.

Dinner at Ye Shanghai..


Happy Message...

Path to take after IT degree...

Was thinking of continue studying after this degree when I go back.

Should I work part-time to pay for my studies, or the other way round, part time studies, plus full-time work. Staying back home is great, continuing studies without working is even better. But as the eldest son, shouldn't I be out working by now in order to help with the family finances?

My sister and my brother need to go to the university too, right?

Kevin suggested doing a MBA if I wanna go for Business. But what if I wanna do sociology and communication?

Birthday Celebration..?

The birthday celebration would be posted on the 16th, rather than the 14th, as it isn't the actual date...by then I should have the pictures with me already.

Thanks guys for your well wishes. :P

Count on me Singapore...

I really like this song as a kid during the National Day

By the way, RMIT SSA was featured in the Strait Times today.



Here's the link.


:)

A long sleepy programming day.

Finish doing one part of the assessed lab. Now waiting for my turn for assessment. I suppose I could forgo the two marks of the other one, but hopefully i can get a mentor to coach me in Java.

After my bad experience with Jack in poly, well, it could be said that I literally hated Java Programming. I started to feel like i'm gonna be a goner if I was to take Java, or any type of programming whatsoever.

Programming 3 onwards...

Projects....LET's BATTLE!!!

Really crap header though. My projects deadline are coming to a climax. Need to kill them off fast.


A joke of a supermarket item: What reads as apple and mango, but doesn't taste like any of it...?

So what do I have to kill this week?

My SWOT analysis.
My PCP Assignment 1 Part 1.
My Assessed Lab. ---I'm going to fizz out big time man.

You know the bad thing about education nowadays? Sometimes the school just provides shitty lecturers and tutors when their ability to teach is in question. Our parents hard-earned money are used to feed these slacking individuals who might die from saying vital information that might help us in our assignment. I have this module that says, "no accounting needed." But please, all along for the past 4 weeks, it has been the battle of double ledger accounts, transaction journals, chart of accounts...this kinda stuff. It doesn't really affect me much though, got some background knowledge, though I might not understand what is being taught at times. The lecturer just droos on and on on the theory that she reads from the lecture slides.

Some tutors are even better, their command of English is so good, that it can be assumed that the Encik in military service might even gain a doctorate for their skill in spoken english. Tutors who are unsure of their work, not sure why are they doing in the class most of the time, when being asked questions, always answer you with, "erm, maybe." --This kinda answer no doubt puzzles me completely. Imagine when I coach aikido, a trainee asks, is this how you do this submission lock? If I give a maybe answer, then whats going to happen next...?

Probably, I might not be given a chance to teach anymore.

Oh yes...I'm on national website...look here. Start the RMIT Greeting video.

Argh...I'm stoned,

Whats happening to me? I feel so stoned.

Don't feel like doing any of my work, feeling so lethargic. Kai is feeling the same as well. What is happening to me....?


Didn't blog much for the 2 weeks. Being really lazy, wanting to blog about going-ons, yet not in the mood for writing.

So lets start some writing to see if I can get back into the mood for doing some work.

Firstly, something to make me realized whats going to happen if I don't buck up.
Week 4 Time for the assessed lab of Programming 3.
Week 4 Time to do the journal for Business Analysis.
Week 5 Time to hand up my individual assignment for Computing Practice.
Week 6 Time to hand up my Reflective Journal for Business Analysis.
Week 7 Time to hand up my individual assignment for Business Analysis.
Week 8 Time to hand up Programming 3 assignment.

Start of E-learning course:
Start of Website revamp:

So all these boils down to the point...WHAT AM I DOING!!?

Last week went to Falls Creek to ski. Met lots of new people there. Anyway, the pics are up in my Picturesteal account on the right. Please feel free to go take a look. What do I get from going on to trip? Better bondings with close friends. Poor Peishi hurt her fingers during the ski trip. Got a new buddy in Max and Wilson. Got to know Eunice better...really funny person. Her friend lost her voice during the trip...poor thing.

Brought some of my neighbors to smith street on Sunday. I got 3 tees altogether... they bought quite alot of stuff, with kai, desmond buying one item each. Met danielle to celebrate her birthday. I feel so envious of her. People actually gathered to celebrate her birthday with her making her feel so touched. As for me, It seems that I'm pretty much forgotten when this special day comes. So far, who has really remembered my birthday? Just a few. Jason, Amy, Siu Fung, Sam, Peipei, Adelin, Daniel, Nani, Cindy, Alvin....used to smile in my heart every time I see that greeting flash on my phone.

It feels great to be remembered.

Daniel is telling me Melanie from church was looking for me. She still remembers me. :)

Depressing Stuff.

Someone I know is going back really soon. Someone I know for only just three days, but yet, I love talking to her after the three days have passed. Maybe its because she couldn't talk for that three days, or something else. I don't know. So whats so nice about her? Besides posing for almost every single photo I took on the mountain, I kinda have to admit that she has a really nice smile and great windows to the soul....something that melts your heart I guess. Will I see her again?

Fate decides....again.
