Formula 1 Singapore GP

      Congratulations to Singapore for hosting such a dramatic race of F1. Honestly, i expect the charming Hamilton to win despite Massa started in pole position. Unfortunately, Hamilton has this air of arrogance, or should i say over-confidence, in him that cause him to lose. If not that Ferrari had a bad day, i am sure McLaren will not be laughing at the end of the day.

      Singapore scores through a boast in branding Singapore into world famous city. F1 did not lose out either. I am sure now almost the whole Singapore know a little bit about F1... Ferrari... McLaren... Renault... and their sponsors... The first night race is really something Singapore can boast about. Even Malaysia will not be hosting night race next year, stating it to be too costly. Singapore wowed everyone by putting F1 into a busy shopping/office district and remove it in just a few days. I am impressed too...

      Just finished my part in my HR group project, i also edited one of my friend's part. Look at the time now. *looking at the clock* it is 12.54am, already. I will do the compilation tomorrow (or should be tonight). I pinned lots of hope and expectation in this report & presentation. Hope i don't falter last minute. Apart from English, i am sure that this report is informative enough. Up next will be my individual report to be done by Wednesday. Before focusing on Maths & Programming. Presentation will be held next week, pray hard for me guys~!

Studies

      i had a hard time learning mathematics. Though it was used to be one of my no-problemo module in poly, it is the worst module i had this semester. Lack of practice and lousy Tutorial Lecturer are just some of the factors that causing my day. Need to work triple hard if i were to survive in the University. Just a pass will not quench my thirst for good grades. All the best, Xiao Liang

Fitness

      Fitness drop, Gaining weights, Want to lose weights... Its the same old thing. But i am glad i managed to run a little despite my legs not yet fully recover... still feel the pain but i managed to run a round of neighborhood. Need to revive my training plans before i book for IPPT. 3 more months left...

      Had some ideas of revamping this blog, but guess will not happen soon... due to the lack of time. but will definitely come out with a new theme.

One Down

     Finally, finish one programming report. Although it is still far from perfect, i guess i could do no more than that. Level too low. *laugh* Largely due to 5 years of absence in programming. Anyway, there are more to go. 2 HRM reports, 2 programming, 1 maths lab. Anymore? Hope not. *laugh*

     Its tiring, but i guess i enjoy the process. I enjoy studying. The feeling of getting your report done is great. I miss the feelings. Hope i don't get back the fear for exam soon. *laugh* Study in NUS get me to experience a few things i never did before. In poly, i study full-time & work part-time. Now, i working full-time & study part-time. A brand new experience. Because of Human Management module, i am 'forced' to read more newspaper instead of the sports section. I also did an interview with my group mates. But unfortunately i made a costly mistakes, forget to press the record button.

     I was supposed to record down the conversation using my mp3 player. But the first half (which contains the most info) was not recorded, i believed that i forget to press record. Hopefully i still remember what he say. Its a new experience, i don't think i will get another chance. I am currently feeling enthusiastic about my studies.

A small change in me

     Over the weekend, i did a little shopping. Get myself 2 Tees, 1 jeans, 1 belt and a haircut. I also dye my white hair into brown. Not attention-seeking colour, but enough to cover my white hair. I like the new colour, even though the hair style did not change. *laugh* If you get to see my hair, hope it give you a refreshing look.

     Unfortunately, not all things look good. Over the last few weeks, i was disappointed by someone. Now, i was down with flu. Not that severe but it last for days, especially after lacking of sleep. Its strange. When i feel my knee was okay for resuming the exercise, i felt tired & sick. When can i really keep my fitness... *looking at calendar* i still haven't clear my IPPT~!!!!!

     *Yawn* Time to sleep. Nights everyone~!

everything has change

     one month of leave. am i really resting? do everyone feel that i am really enjoying my time? alright, i don't deny i really have time, even if not enough, one month is quite long. but i feel that i have a lot of things i wanted or expected to achieve but yet, failed to achieve last month. due to weather, due to tiredness, due to lack of discipline, due to school. many factors to explain, but anyway, who cares?

back at work

     now that i am back at work, i feel that the working environment had change within this month. or is it that i felt that i changed over the month. i no longer as relax, happy or carefree apart from chatting with team b & thinyu. i felt that i officially out of team a. i am not in their group anymore. maybe its due to cailei. seems that we are not as close as last time. but mark & james are still warm and chat with me. maybe i become more quiet. but after msn-ing with mark. i guess its not only i change. the environment, indeed, had changed.

     this is the catalyst that make mark resigning so early, much earlier than expected. he also no longer feel happy working here. maybe due to stress, due to people. i used to stay on because of the people in our level. but now, i stayed for the promise i made to boyes since he really uphold his promises and give me what he promised me. he also quite good to me. i enjoy working under him, less stress even if i have to attend morning meeting now, because i know, he will be there to back me up.

studies make thing worse

     maybe now that i have to juggle both work & studies, i have lesser personal time. weekdays, 3 days of school, 2 days of OT to cover up early exit. weekend, on the other hand, will be used for projects etc. even after work/study, i stayed awake till 1am to do my assignment. not that my assignment is that tough, but still need time to understand, revise & do. only today, i give myself time off to go online not doing work, after lessons.

     suddenly feel tired. just tired. i don't feel stress at work this week due to the fact that angie on leave. but yet i am not as joyful, just relieved. i need time to adjust to the life i am in now, i guess. hope tomorrow will be a better day.
