Day 2 of Another day in Expo
Basically the same old things... but it seems to me today.. [as i am typing this] that most of the time, instead of promoting Desktop PCs or our notebooks, i took abit of my time to play computer games. They only have one game installed - Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo. It's not bad, for each mode, [ eg. Deathmatch, Capture the flag] they have 2 maps. I think most of the time, we [ the part-timers ] were playing as the people coming or visiting our booth is even much lesser compared to yesterday. Well it's not like i din't try to bring in customers ... but u know since our company is not a branded company like compaq and dell, most people aint interested..
Any interesting that happens today ??? Well not really .. I see the same old pretty models in the camera shop, same old faces in the booth, Same old customers who treat u like a transparent glass .. Haiz.. But there are a few little new things that i saw today. I saw the host for English ve...

My 1st day at Expo [ Part - time job]
Woke up in the morning ... had to travel to Changi region. I am supposed to meet Nig and Ah hui at Expo Mrt control Station. Ah Hui woke up late so he will be there late. We gathered outside Hall 5 beside Orange Julius. Well basically everyone looks ready and prepared to attack customers ... haha i mean attact customers to buy coms. They seem to have every com specs in our offer list at their finger tips. DARN , i really noe nothing about pc parts like SDram and blah blah ... lol so o am prepared to tok rot/crap.
The first few hours of the session seems to be like a give-out-pamphlets session. We stand at the door way giving our brochures to visitors since the Exhibition just started. Some visitors are typical Kiasu Singaporeans [--]' chiong for all the brochures... there are some who smile and take ... some who dun smile and dun take .. and some that just walk past you like you were even there..

But the words he used .. quite offensive most of the time .... AFter the training, i went for my 1st hockey outing and makan at SMU foodcourt. I ate chap chai beng ... lol i noe it's none of yr business .. Den we went to play CS near parklane.

-= Job interview =-
Since i passed out my chane on a work attachment ... i've decided to try to take on a job with a reasonable pay.. Guess what .. we've got one 4 $10 / hr ... as a student coordinator. The job is basically to match a tutor with a child-in-need-of-tutor. Another + point is that it is home-basedand on-time, on-target. But if that is so ... how do they track the no. of hours u dedicate yrself to work ? I am abit fuzzy abt the details but we din want the job in the end after thinkin thru' a little. Firstly, the job requires training .. with a fee of $12 ... which is like for only 1/2 hr ?!! Secondly, we still need to go thru a week of 'trial period' where we work at home and match tutors with parents. In total we need to earn $100 of commission b4 we can be accepted. To me, i think it's abit slow ... and with so many student coordinators around .. it might be take us a long time to earn the money. Moreover, they did not say a place is definitely ...

Damn, turtle got to rolelr blade while i had to stay @ home and do pw ...
damn turtle's life is good. Anyway had yum yum beancurd ... i mean almond beancurd again today :P ...
taste good and yummy .. blessed taste buds.
something to share ...
"They say you can't save time in a bottle
but maybe you can."
Maybe you can save time in a bottle
Maybe you can preserve the love
Maybe remebering is as good as being there
No, you can't go back but be back
Maybe you can save time in a bottle.
Memories are substaining things. They give meaning and purpose
not only to the past but also to the present - and they bring hope
to the future. Take that bottle and open the lid slowly
Careful not to let them escape so quickly ...
Savor the aroma and draw strength from it each day.
Enjoy Yourself. These are the good old days you gonna miss in 10 yrs.

Haiz ...
Well we sorted our PW file today.
Well, as usual we are surprised by the humongous things that we have not do.
Well i started to do redo my timeline and agenda. Spent approximately 2 hours there doing. Later i went doen for a snack. MEt Jing Feng ... got anew hairstlye from him. Apparently he tried to spike my hair and give me a new look ... but it seems my hairtsyle looks just the same. Well he certainly did a great job messing it up and i don't now wat's the pulling and massaging for .. My, what did u call, yah .. hair erector muscle is under constant torment during that period ... I din get a new hair-look ... only appear more lion-like.
Later i went up to complete some of the unfinished documents.
Met with Jayadev and he told me lots of stories that make Professor James moo and me laugh. Well i can't say about whatever he told us in the library 'cos it is in a way offensive to someone. Don't worry we ain't gossiping behind people's back...

-=Oral Presentation=-
Well, we were the 2nd group to present during the oral presentation ...
The 1st group did quite well ... everyone answered nicely and perfectly during the Q & A ...
After 15 mins of break, it's finally our turn to present. Really kanchiong or very nervous.
One of the slides were skipped half-way to the next slides before the speaker could finish speaking the slide. I was in-charge of changing the slides ... [--]
Great mistake for the start ...
When it was turned my turn to present, well i just spoke de way i usually speak but abit louder this time. I fumbled or stutterted once in a while when explaining the technical solution for our plan.We scored another error again.. when my friend change slide before i could finish elaborating my poiint.

The Selfless Heart
Though you've heard it a thousand times before,
the essence of love is giving
Give ... of yourself and of your time
Give ... encouraging words
Give ... surprise gifts
Giving ... is the spark that igntes the fire of love
You have the power to start a blazing of selfless love
Maturity begins to grow
when yo can sense
your concern for others
outweighing your
concern for yourself
-John McNaughton

"When I was a child ,i used to speak as a child,
think as a child, reason as a child
when i became a man,
i did away with childish things ...
But now abide faith, hope, love,
these three;
But the greatest is love."

Agent Smith :
"Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you are fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception.
The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why?
Why do you persist?! "

Because i choose to...

Hockey tRaining - pitch training
We went to CCAB pitch for hockey training.... Well
the it was drizzling when we are warming up. While we are stretching our calfs
the sprinkler system was on and de hockers were sprayed by water ..
Everyone was totally drench but we still contined our training.
We did sprinting exercises while being continuously sprayed by de sprinkler.
At the end of our exercises, the sprinkler stops. [--]'
Well the next part of the training was abit catastrophic
Though we did normal training passes and shooting,
under the hot sun, we were more tired than usual. [dunno y]
Though the sun dried us up, it makes us wet again in another way
[thru sweat lor]. My team lost all the games. Partly i tink maybe mostly due to my fault.
I got plenty of opportunities to score .. however i miss most of the chance .. only scored 1 :(
i couldn't receive most of my fren's passes ... damn pathetic.. and our whole team seems very tired.
Especially me. After th...

Very awkward and ... nervous at that moment
When i finally settled down ... i found out that i sat at the wrong seat ....
den the great race began again ... i spotted a nearby seat and quickly sat there ...
and thank god it was the right seat ... [when i found out that number on the table match with mine]
