Office Worker By Day, Ki Warrior By Night.

This is a common thing I see every evening when I'm going for training.

I see group after group of office workers start arriving from their place of work, ready for the day of training. After everyone has changed into their gi, they look like some transformation of mythical warriors. The glum, kan sian look of the office mate is gone, replaced by the constant shouts, bangs, and enthusiasm that reminds everyone where this place is.


Yup. It's the Aikido Dojo. And yeah, I just got my Heartsavers certification. Yayy!

Reminiscing the good times.

Was speaking on the phone to Cindy just now, and thinking about how long we have been friends and the good times that we spent in these 7 years.

We played a game trying to guess what are the things we know about each other. It was so much fun, and cos she sounded glum from work, after that she seem to be in a better mood. So happy for her.

But true about starting to work. Social life becomes so dead. Body clock becomes so damaged. Its like, I'm not a DOTA fan, but to vent my frustration I started playing DOTA. Heh.

Going for a week of courses tmr. Wish me good luck in understanding what the hell is going on.

Goals at work.

Just shifted office today. Finally got my own desk.

Now, for a start, I can start bringing my stuff there to put. So I wouldn't need to make so many trips to and fro office and home.

Office politics are really sucky. Like what a friend commented to me. Be careful of what u hear, comment or say. Not everyone is there for your best interests.

Well, I'm at home now, shouldn't be bothering myself on such matters. What matters is that I keep my focus on my goals and contribute in detail to my company.

My Wishlist. Sob sob.

A few days more and I will be 24. Not much difference compared to the people at work though.

I just saw this email regarding my convocation from RMIT. Once again, they corked up my application for something. Since when do people send official payment confirmation via email? I thought it was supposed to be via snail mail. So now, the major issue would be whether i can go for convocation or not. Its not about me actually..my parents wanna take the photo with me in the gown and funny hat, so I have to respect their wishes, instead of graduating in absentia. In a way, making me wait for 6 month to get absentia certificate is certainly not what I want, since if I got my certificate earlier, my HR wouldn't need to keep rushing me for a copy.

Wishlist:
1. Proper RMIT convo- Hoping for a good response.
2. Certificate is correct - Accidents happen.
3. FX Creations Office Bag - Just got it today.
4. TV in the room - Still under negotiations.
5. SANS Certification - I think this is interesting.
6. Get a new desktop - Still in the midst of saving up.
7. IPOD: Touch- Hope I can get.
8. DSLR Camera- Not sure which model yet.
9. Frds to makan with Think everyone is busy.
10. New shoes It's difficult wearing only one formal shoes.

Starting of the left and the right.

Basically, I meant that I have started on my shift work. Sounds awful huh? Shift like very sian to some people.

For me, I think it is still alright. Except, without an I-net workstation for me to do references, there's some problem there. But yeah, my schedule has become really messy due to it. No more days of lagging, stoning stuff like that. Its either work or no work. Nothing more. Wonder how to plan meeting up with friends in this way...guess I would have to find a way to work around the schedule.

So what should I do tmr before going to work. I guess I should go get a sleeping bag, but apparently for me, a sleeping bag doesn't work wonders on the cold hard floor i am sleeping on, so was considering to get a exercise mat and use it as my mattress for the time being. Heehee.

It seems that after asking some friends on MSN, I think I will get a exercise mat that's comfy. Tmr must go to the mall early to buy stuff. Heh.

So here's the issue of making new friends, I don't mind making new guy friends of course, but I think the focus here should be friends of the opposite gender, considering that my workplace is almost entirely consist of a male working environment. My mentor jokingly suggested that I go for those blind dates that the company regularly organizes. Hmm. but I do have the idea I'm abit too young for the crowd there.

Whats' a 20-something guy with a utterly nutty work schedule, that changes like the weather gotta do to make new friends?
