Sun the 19th: Starbuck, Shin of Osaka
Ha. You must be wondering why i mentioned starbuck here! the fact that bcoz i dunno what to eat for lunch, I just got myself a raspberry drink with a rapsberry low sugar cake. Yumz. I got a coffee marble cake, not as fantastic though. The raspberry cake is yummy!! Perhaps i am too hungry? kekeke.
Although they have changed their name to Akai Hana for ages, i still like to call the place Shin. I had my must-eat salmon roe, spicy tuna & nabeyaki udon. The udon did not meet my expectation though. nvm, i shall visit again since i want to eat the Dragon roll and Rancho Bernardo roll.
Sat the 18th: Louis
If i remember correctly, that's the name of the pizza place at USS. kekek. Since we had four 5 buck meal voucher, we settle our lunch there @ Hollywood section.
I like the think crust, the Hawaian taste is not bad. then we had coke. hoho. sick, i had pizza with chilly sauce since all others had that too. we are mad.
Fri the 17th: DTF 鼎太丰; CC
That meal is all about meat and gossip. Kekek. 小笼包，红油抄手，腐竹豆腐冬粉汤，菜云吞拉面，炸排骨。太多肉了啊. All time favourite -> Mocha Vanilla Coffee. This time we had a raspberry pastry. Not bad. Quite smooth. Many thanks to queen :)
Thu the 16th: Brewkerz
Interesting meal as I am having that with Cheryl. Hehe. think many will fall from their chairs. To think i am actually dining with a SM. 3 hrs ler. Ha. i am amazed and honestly, i was quite worried what will the conversation be. Original plan was to go Bronzeit but since home is nearer than Brewerkz, we cabbed down. btw, cheryl dressed up for that ler. wowow, i feel so honoured.
Singapore Pale Ale, Grilled wings, she prefered Cow boy while I had Brewekz burger.
I am thankful as God has prepared such as nice mentor at work for me. She shared her perception and she wouldn't mind listen to my nonsense at times. Kekek. As what dajie said, i owe Cheryl alot as I believe that in a way, she helped me to pave the way. By only mentioning her name helps to open doors and resolve deadlock. she is professional and she is pretty much quite true to me. She shared about her personal life. hoho, insider news. She also told me about the upcoming job rotation plan in our organizations, eventhough I won't be affected. She shared her experinces in living in Poway and how she likes her mazda3 along CRV road.
I am supposed to treat her as an appreciation. who knows I was treated in the end, to think I have already prepared to burn hole :p
Tues the 14th: Happy Chicken, Daily Scoop
We had our fix at happy chicken. kekeke. so full. and then we went to Daily Scoop on foot. I like the avocado ice cream. creamy and rich. I will miss that!

Feasting Regime
Maybe regime is not the right word, ah wel, who cares. kekek. I feel that i have started putting up weight due to the excessive feasting which was started on 10 sept. I shall note down the various feast to better manage my calories intake in the next 1.5 mths
shall blog about it when i am more free. T3 has so many people. Hope all is well and i can get through things with His blessings. Get a bit nervous as there may be lots of surprises. HE is the God, isn't He?
Yeah. Economy Plus. Kekek. Free upgrade from now on. Yes yes, more leg space. later i shall look out for the big fat lady at SFO. kekek.

Getting fat
It was an interesting extended weekend. Ha. Enjoyable especially with good food and good company cum interesting conversation. It started on Thursday… since we have floating half day.
Italia…
We went to Ristorante Bologna @ Marina Mandarin. Initially we just wanted to have ala carte pasta and tiramisu, who knows eventually we decided on the buffet lunch there, as the sweets looked too good. Kekeke.
Nice ambience, a bit atas. It’s like fine dining. So I feel a bit out of place. Ha. I like the clam dunno what. Ha. The dory fish is nice too. then the chocolate lava, black forest and chestnut cheese cake are yummy too. oh ya, the strawberrt puree/mousse is yummy! I had 2! Ha. The crabmeat ravioli and baked bacon & cheese pasta also quite nice. kekeke. One thing that surprised me is they don't serve normal coffee or tea, instead they serve either latte, cappuccino or espresso. Kekek. Then we roam around esplanade library to borrow some movies and buy a big bag from planet traveler!
Chinois
At night, I am honored to join the popiah feast at our neighborhood. Those aunties are very kind and nice. They were so happy to see us and keep asking us to eat and eat and eat. Hoho. I had a lot of Kong Bak and 1 pau. Hahah. Sick me. Imagine I put 2 thick fat 3 layer pork inside 1 bao, then I finished the 2 meat and I put another 2 in to finish up the same bao. Hahah. Then better still, I use one vege to wrap another piece of meat!! haha. horrible. We had 4 kinds of popiah: Cantonese, teochew, hokkien and Penang. To me, I prefer the Cantonese style! Yum! The auntie who is called Macaroni is also very friendly. We had a long chat.
The community is pretty friendly and I can see their passion in having the events which cheer more old folks. More importantly they get to showcase their cooking! It’s yummy too!
Western
The high tea @ Shang ri la is not bad too. the spread is not like very big but sufficient and tasty enough to satisfy the needs of our taste buds. Ha. And also, you get to choose either 1 or many kinds of premium tea. I had tea no.18, both chilled and hot one. I prefer the hot one as it better brings out the aroma of the tea leave.
The juicy gossip also shocked me ah. I was a bit shaken, it’s a clash of value system! Thus don't always judge a book by its cover, and probably at times, being in love can be blind.
What I like about Shang: durian cake, chocolate banana coconut cake, coconut ice-cream, cold duck/ham, kueh pati. Basically I think I am fine with the food, the company matters more.
Thank God for meeting Deir also, at least I get some good advice. As for Ming, she supposed to give me a lift from the main road and in the end I gotta walk in by myself. Ha. But it's ok. Good weather along Addison ave, I think.
Chinois
I like Asam fish. Nice. Keke.i had twice over the weekend. Then I also had lots prawn. Ha.
Duh, I hope I don’t gain too much weight over the long weekend. Ha.

Je suis malade
I don't understand why do I become so weak since last week? Come on, it was only 2 coffees plus laksa?! How could it turn out to be a throat infection, follow by feevr, flu and cough and worse still, voice-less! hohho. hardly took so many MCs... if not for the IHPS stuffs, I wont bring back my lappy to check company mail. ha. sick me. Indeed i am sick.
选择
To iron out the details on the package makes my head swirl! Kekek. I ask for it! Read a comic by 吴悠律, it says..
虽然凋谢势在必行，但花儿从来不选择枯萎。世事难料，所以选择应该不问对错；而勇于承担后果的每一个选择，其实都能成就一个成长。
I like the 插图and the little column which this guy had on every Sunday Zaobao. His thought can be random but quite down to earth. He will use such weird or rather 天马行空illustration to bring across his point. hoho, i am gonna to miss that.
I also like the bi-weekly column by princessLee on Sunday Times. she is quite vocal and skeptical. What attracts me is she dare to criticize even if it opposes her brother and father's policy. hoho. She is being pragmatic and i think to a certain extent, she empathize with ground level people; given that most prince and princess wont understand the bitterness of 小市民！
Where is Sumiko Tan? She must have enjoying her marriage life now in UK? oh man, i also like her article and when is she coming back? sob sob. I like Colin's bi-weekly column on his NYC + yakuza baby life. Interesting guy.
WAR
there is bound to have a warfare in WS soon since both Ming2 and daJie will fight for the expert position. Personally i support dajie and prefer her to be the lead. To me, she is more well -rounded though her years in BPD is not as long as ming2.
Recently we also got into a conversation whereby "If you're a boss, would you pay an employee the amount of $$ you're getting today to do the work you're doing? ". Peow and Myself said we might not. Ha. it does not mean we are overpaid, just that we think we can be stretched further and contribute more. of course there are people thinking that they will. from this small survey, we can tell that who has higher self value! sometimes your value does not determine what you do but rather who you are. Like Uncle Dennis told me recentlyt, it is not what you deliver but how you do it. That's how the manager deal with FPR question. ha.
PC is another victim of all these expert promotion. His peers seem to advance and he somehow got stucked. He is a nice guy. today it is LeNing's bday, so he is off to celebrate the bday! kekek. sweet daddy.

Moving
Things has been moving fast for the past 2 weeks though there are moments that are just so pissing and i lost my cool. Seriously, do i need to be that agitated when
I don't get update on the date?
I don't get informed on the last minute absence?
mum refused to rest when she is sick?
you're supposed to be the ic and yet you are unaware?
the answer is NO. Guess what, God has brought good out of the not so nice event which I thought it was. It is about human interactions. It is about communications. It is about having things happenned in His time. i had other blessings when things are not my way.
We have new addition to the family, welcome our little Yue Chen. Pretty little girl!! kekeke. I shall try and get you something during my preview trip. Thank God for His gift!!
I thought I was a bit mad last few days since i strike 2 random conversation with a stranger and a not so familiar colleague. They have the similarity. They have been to the place where i will go soon for good!!
This first stranger is an indian. Ha. I just cut his conversation with his friend on a bus. Yes, out of no way. I got too excited as I overheard that he was there and will be there for years. Those people beside me must have thought that i am an indecent girl, how come i give that person my namecard and talk so much!! Haha. oh man, queen scared me. True enough, that guy called my office number the very next day! well, i didn't bother to take down his number.
The second guy SK is a nice guy. Ha. he asked if i am a Christian as he overheard my phone conversation while q-ing for shuttle bus months ago. Was i that loud? ha. He even can tell that I attend Chinese Church and read chinese bible. Ha. so rare. i mean nowadays it's rare that you will find local reading ch bible, going for ch services. Cool. He told me about the church he went and said what he missed most is not the company but the pastor there. hoho. wowow. I was quite worried on which church should i go to and you see... God sms me via His angels.
It is still a lengthy process... you can say i am pessimistic and to certain extent, i am. maybe that's me! I am not like what my outlook says about me -> cheerful and optmistic girl. I am rather maybe a more self motivational girl. That's all.
Thank God for Barb. She has been encouraging and told me to hang tight! Thank God for Cheryl and i think in some ways, her presence makes me look extremely good and exert some pressure to Barb ;p I felt very good after talking to Cheryl that day on how to resolve the deadlock. She said: I know it's not you to take those crap, so just fight for it else quite HP. ha. I am glad to have her support and advice.
I wonder, how can all this take quite awhile? hmm a few months ler. Latest surprise. This morning i just knew there is some changes on the relocation. OK, be cool and heads up!
As for Japan trip, finally settle on the accom. hoho,i am gonna be a flying pillow for the next 2 mths... more mileage pls.. i wanna a free NA ticket! :p

Sweet
I don't understand why was I so agitated yesterday. Is there a real reason that I should be that fuming?! Silly me. Really silly. After a good sleep, I am really amazed by self on why do I get so worked out when I only heard a few statements from birdnest.
Seriously, I don't think I am great and I am really flattered by all the escalation. Not that I am good but it does show I am highly valued as what Sing said. Maybe those events which I anticipate to take place has yet to, that’s why I am so frustrated.
As I drag myself to dinner last night, Echen was very sweet. As I stepped into the house, I told her: Come, give gugu a hug. She guai guai came over! She normally tries to be funny by not listening to us. But yesterday she did! Feel so comforting while being hugged by her. Then I told her: Gugu is angry today. She then innocently asked: At work? I said: Ya. She then said: Someone scold you? I straight away burst into a fit of laughter. Haha.
What a sweet niece I have! Kekeke. Though there are still uncertainties, I was reminded by God that I got to be still and trust that His grace is sufficient for me when I am weak! I have to keep reminding self that His will to be done, but also hope that it is also of my favour ;p

National Day Weekend
Since I came in around 7.30am today, not sure why my back is aching?! Let me try to take a break here. Again?! Ha. Ya.
The recent trip was relaxing and more importantly it was with good companion! Queen told me not to stress too much as they have no must see and must eat. So we will just go and explore!
True enough, I really salute myself. I myself can’t even confirm the exit, how would they! Ha. Well, as QY said, even if we take the wrong road, no one will know except me. Haha. Very true. I actually wanted to sleep during the journey but I couldn’t. thanks to walkie talkie, we actually ‘talked’ to strangers at the custom, we overheard and responded to their conversation! Kekeke.
The short stay @ humble nest was good, I thought. At least we all had some exchanges with papaNg. Kekek. Let him talk about his good old days stories. Keke. There were queries around the family portrait. QY said mamaNg looked like a PM’s wife. Hehe. Thank God for His blessings, it is all about His grace and mercies!! Nothing that man can boast about. Mikey said the noodles is nice, we rolled our eyes since we are not expert in noodles. Kekek.
It’s stunning that the Tg Piai Resort concierge people actually allowed the unauthorized guest to continue to stay!! We were supposed to get that unit! Well, after some negotiation, we got 2 rooms. Ha. Gentle yet strong breeze. How nice! You can see second link from the resort! Mikey still brought binocular along. *salute* haha.
The seafood wasn’t great. Well, Wong said it’s highly recommended in the web. Well, it’s really SO-SO only. Ha. C’mon, as local, I have higher expectation! The Twister game was funny!!! The morale of the game is: You’d better exercise more often, stretch your muscle every now and then! Kekeke. It tests your reflex! Everyone had fun, lots of laughter! And lots of photos taken! Little Eunice just stayed around and behaved very well!
We had fried noodles and crab fried rice for the breakfast then we headed for the mangrove walk in search of the southern most of the main land asia. Ha. Even though Eunice was koon-ing, Wongs still bothered to bring her along. And here we go, we visited the national park. there were quite a few surrounding monkeys and we were afraid of them, thinking that they might attack us. Kekek. Not coward ok, just want to be cautious! We jollily posing for photos under the big hot sun! that’s why we’ve got headaches lo.
Fruits for lunch! The folks were very keen to have a durian feast. I just sat aside and watched them eat. Ha. I am not too keen since headache plus really not in the mood of durian-ing. Hehe. Queen went to pluck pu-to-san (something similar to Rambutan), uncleYao went to cut out a dragon fruit, and auntieMeng served us with pineapples! Kekeke. I can tell they had a good time eating the fruits. Loi-s were too full to have lunch!! We headed home after the ahHui fishball noodles and bought some breads home!
In short, it is a simple yet lovely and heartwarming outing. I am unsure when the next group outing be but I definitely thank God for this! Seize the day!
Time flies and people grow. It is inevitable that we hang around with different people, that’s life. Isn’t it? Was using the term, ex-GF to Jess when I told her about our trip. It sounds weird and sad. OK, time to move on :) God has made things beautiful in His time and of our best interest!

If I could reach, higher
一直都觉得青奥没什么大不了，它提倡的oh yeah 和give way 倒是很刻骨铭心，街头巷尾都在谈论着它。若不让路，得被罚SGD130！真是的！一直呼吁大家要成为一个优雅社会，做个称职的东道主；难道你觉得大家的优雅水平不堪入眼，要一直不断地通过各大媒体疲劳轰炸？可笑。呵呵。
第一次到浮动舞台，感觉还不错。27000人，面向着MBS，一眼望去是滨海湾，CBD的skyline挺漂亮的，微风徐徐，现场打着璀璨的灯火，不错啊！
采用集装箱和蓄水池的舞台设计概念挺不错的，尤其是当表演者卖力的演出，配上绚丽的服饰，还OK！基本上我对YOG的文艺表演没什么期待，因为小红点是个小国，也无非常突出鲜明的文化色彩，与邻国相近。搞笑的是，由于是彩排，我们有幸见到‘假’总统、‘假’IOC主席。哈。不过张准将aka TCH出现了！
当国旗逐渐升起和在空中飘扬时，感觉怪怪的。那天，NDP时我有点不知所措。呵呵。
最后，当他们彩排欢迎各国的健儿们时，我听到了1996年的奥运主题曲 Reach，好怀念啊。有点像我现在的写照。呵呵。

Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart
And I'll do whatever it takes
And I'll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine
If I could reach, higher
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
Some days are meant to be remembered
Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So I'll go the distance this time
So I'll go the distance this time
Seeing more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine
If I could reach, higher
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that me moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
If I could reach, higher
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life I'm gonna be stronger
I'm gonna be so much stronger yes I am
I put my spirit to the test
If I could reach, higher
If I could reach, higher
If I could, if I could
If I could reach
Reach, I'd reach, I'd reach
I'd reach, I'd reach so much higher
I'd reach, I'd reach so much higher
Be stronger.

Musical Chair
It's like musical chair. we take turns to switch places and sometimes it just caught everyone in surprises!!
The latest surprise is uncle Kuu will be coming over! hehe.. back in many years ago, i spotted uncle Kuu and kind of admire him. then i saw him at the pool pretty often.. then we work in the same platform and now we are at the same floor and he is joinng printer WS in Nov!!
I applaud the quick decision they made, really shocked us! imagine last Friday they still bother to get iphone girl to come again and who knows, the next moment they prefer an internal transfer and that person is uncle kuu!! hoho. the 闪电announcement also shocked everyone! Ha.
i think birdnest may not have think too thoroughly on this decision. I can guarantee that he is much more 难搞 than me! kekek. He is so vocal and he grumbles alot. at least that is true since most of us observe that. How is mr birdnest and ladygaga going to 打压 him ler? i really have no idea and i don't really bother too much.
After all, people movement are pretty common.
hoho, there is this guy who joined back BPD recently. while i was taking the water just now, i overheard his conversation with TQ. hmm he said he was on 3yr missionary work in vietnam. wowowo. Not many will mention the word' mission' if it is not Christianity centric. OK, i shall find one opportunity to talk to him.
3 yrs ler... quit the job and serve God. Can I do it or rather WILL i do it? hmmm...

忆卢美玉安娣
因着南大团契的缘故，我有机会认识您和南国安哥。记得当年的校友日，您滔滔不绝的与我们分享当年您们在南大校园的点滴，更告诉我们您如何说服父亲，极力争取进入大学就读的机会！您也说每一回您和南国安哥开着jaguar到南大时，一定会到南大湖走走，毕竟当年那是许多南大声谈情说爱的好地方，但您俩不解为何现今的学生竟然不视这湖为浪漫之地。
当年，基于我是团契职员，加上大四时和当助理干事时得参与常务会议，我有不少的机会与您接触。谢谢您每次都邀请我们到您的家中，让我们这群学生领袖享美食，在舒适的环境中开会，在超大的pent house 空中花园看风景，那可是事奉的incentive之一哦！还记得每次常务会议都很期待您的出现，因为您都会带一些很可口的点心替我们解闷。呵呵。依稀记得有一年，因着怡兴安哥决定退下不当主席，您在无人愿意站出来时却挺身而出；每每FES遇到财务危机，您都会说包在我身上，让我去打电话和写信呼吁人奉献。那种作风，的确不常见！
您在FES，南大校园、校友、和中国人事工的参与和付出是我们学习的榜样。您没有因着富裕的背景，而忘了其他人。您因着一个爱上帝的心去爱您所认识和甚至不相识的人，就如您的宝贝所说，大家都看到您一生的果效、见证和劳苦。
上周末接到你安息的时候，觉得很感伤。昨晚，当南国安哥亲自带我去瞻仰您的遗容时，问我多久没见你了，当时的我真的有点受宠若惊。想了想，大概一年多了吧。最后一次见你是应该是在2009年南大校友团契常年会议时，尽管您的身体欠佳，您还是与夫婿一起出席；当时真叫我为自己这批新南大生感到惭愧。当我们靠近您的棺木时，南国安哥还开欢笑的告诉我您到离世前还如此的胖，没有瘦下来，我真的不知该如何回应。只能静静的在那儿看您最后一眼，思念您。谢谢您与南国安哥一直以来的关爱和善工！
再见了，美玉安娣！

Relax
A few of us had silent retreat last Saturday @ Garden of remembrance. It was a good session. We are practically slow in everything. Exercise, Sing, Read, Eat, Walk! But it is a good way to slow down to observe the surrounding and pay attention to self! like when you start walking, which feet do you lift up. and like when you are to cross your arm, which arm is on top of one another?
Most of us walked around to visit those little 'houses'. saw some interesting notes, nice flowers, cute miniatures. kekeke.
One take away. 不管你是美是丑，富有或贫穷，年幼或老迈，不分贵贱，聪明愚笨，到头来还是归回一个‘牌子’。所以，要珍惜当下，好好活出一个符合上帝旨意的人生，爱人爱己。
Also, I saw beautiful flowers. some leaves with red color on one side and green on another side. then this plant, the leaves on the top part are all red while the rest of the bottom plant is green. nice white flowers are seen also, it looks like clovers but it is not.

It's HIS
友人问我为何最近没有更新blog，对咯，快1.5月了！近来较为忙，加上现在的地理位置不适宜太张扬，所以就拖了再拖。哈哈。
经历的事还不少，感恩的事还是数不尽的，虽然生活还存在着许多的未知数，但是上帝的旨意永远是最美最佳的。要掌握这道理和实践出来是门很深的学问，得要用尽一生来体验、磨炼。
喜欢这样的exposure,它让你觉得受重视和尊重，让你有机会肯定自己存在的价值，事实真的如此吗？话说回来，NP说你的价值不在于你做了什么，而是你的阿头如何看你和定你的位；难道真的那么可悲吗？我相信我们本身的价值不完全在于手所作的，而是你这人的本质。Being and not doing. 最近常需要be assertive，尤其是要打仗的时候。我可真像花木兰，得和一班的男人对抗；所以要学习不管对象是谁，摆出事实来，用合适的立场的语调谈判，胜算不敢说，但至少不会死得很难看！呵呵。
觉得在勒住舌头这方面越来越怠慢，时常不经大脑的将脑袋里的想法说出来，不知道我到底让多少人跌倒了。我常告诉自己要就事论事，但有时候不是什么info都有益处的。哎，近来燕窝先生也真让我们越来越感到无奈和无助。他不需要扛起所有的责任，但他的不慎好像在无意中搞砸了许多的事。偶尔我也觉得有点气愤！
对了，本周刘小姐又来新出差了！虽然大家都倍感意外和惊讶!haha. 我要说的重点是她和男友现在的感情很好，似乎已经磨合了。我的确松了一口气，至少我不会再听到太多不伦的八卦，希望她能专一，最终能开花结果！
这7个月来我作了不少决定，暂时还不至于后悔，哈哈！人生也许没有很多第一次，但今年的决定似乎对我的生活有着不一样的影响；是好抑或是坏，要相信上帝的同在与安排。
上周因着年度的读经计划，被迫在1.5小时内读完使徒行传，快疯了！哈哈。以下是我的小小杰作，它可是wk1的design.还有4周啊！呵呵。尽管如此，还是很开心的推行这事工。
最后，想分享这几周来一直陪伴我的箴言
To win or to lose, it is HIS!

挖洞补洞
Birdnest
I think it is pretty visible to those higher management and ground level that something is not right in WS. Hmm what could be the cause? Personally I think that it is a compounded effect, not just due to birdnest.
Having said so, maybe birdnest really contributes much to it ler. Although I tried hard to refrain from thinking that way but the fact just disprove what I thought! He likes to make decision on his own without gathering more reliable data and the sad thing is, he does not learn from the mistake.
Basically he digs a hole at 1 end and tries to fill another hole at the other end. It’s endless and it is resulting too much casualties. Does he really realiaze the damage? It takes so many years to build up all these and yet you are witnessing the destruction process, one by one; whether knowingly or unknowingly.
It is scary, disappointing. It does not only hurt the individuals but the organization. We might be back to where we were 7 years ago. How frightening!
Has mrDC observed the trend? Has he taken any move to help to mitigate? Has he been playing a pro-active role in guiding birdnest? Maybe only he knows.
msHot
She is capable, observant and confident in what she does. I definitely appreciate that. You’re bold to tell me what you think. Yes, I think that is helpful but don’t try to dictate my thought and stance.
I guess I also need to tame down my temper and tone while working real closely as a team. Sometimes, we got to be open and unless you are able to convince and justify, else please listen first and be receptive. Although there is nothing wrong in insisting our own views but prior to that, we need to do some ground work. And don’t always assume that we know everything and we are right. The very fact of that is… we are not always right. Ha.
Just the observations I had these few weeks. Ha. More chemistry and spark to come :)
Interview
Am I too out-dated? How come nowadays those uni grads’ resume is so unprofessional and insincere? Didn’t the school has teach them how to write a proper one? Alamak.
Classic. The first one only outlines the uni education background and hobby and maybe brief skill set outline. Very few ECA, no FYP stuffs. 1 sheet only. She is from NUS.
The second one has everything except FYP. The best part is he uses FACEBOOK layout!! Give me a break! Kekeke. He is from NTU.
I thought during my NTU days, we get to learn those during communication skill module? I remember there is some workshop on how to write a good resume? Of course the students today can be very busy with their assignments and online activities, please don’t tell me that you cant get any sample resume online!!! There should be some standard items which you need to include. Duh… use FB resume layout, my goodness. Haha.

变迁
With some movement recently, seriously I have a bit of 震撼。The team I joined 4.5 yrs ago is no longer the same, not anymore. I miss the good old days of WS. The cohesiveness, the dynamic has changed dramatically over years.
Moving forward I am unsure how the things change, but I definitely feel that it will become a roadblock. For good? I do not know.
Thankful because they adjust FY10 band to be on par with other MNC. And I am blessed to have benefited from that. It’s never that I should take for granted. It is purely grace, I would say.
I am bad. I purposely ‘kek’ ming2 by telling her that we are being pushed up to the band ;p then I knew that the band has changed from year to year. So she must be quite mad that we are drawing similar (maybe hers is higher) check.
It’s grace la.
Cheryl is right about me. She do not think I am fickle minded given that since the first time I talked to her, she knows that there is a urge within me. She encourages me to keep on trying… else I won’t be able to settle down.
*nod nod*

冒险王
上帝是存怜悯和恩惠的主。
我不觉得在众人当中我的语言能力顶呱呱，只是还可以。上帝让我这个不知天高地厚的家伙胆敢接下这任务，我真的有点疯狂。还真的要感谢上帝赐我那adventurous的个性。呵呵
哇，原来我还真不知道我会运用声量，听说效果不错。哈哈。搞笑啦！
我还蛮enjoy与傅牧师合作的；RT还建议我以后替所罗门翻译，他真的是疯了！

爱
爱真的那么神奇么？它还真的能够把一个人搞得不太理智。如果一段感情在短时间涉及了金钱利益，那他真的信得过吗？
爱情是盲目的，沉睡的你，赶快醒来！
她说我像小孩般遇到问题时马上惊动身边的大人，她说我很可爱。
我说因为我太担心，束手无策了！
还好，上帝似乎已经阻止了感谢神！
择偶是以条件抑或是感觉？我不知道。

Big Apple - NYC
The best way to get around in the city is to get a 7D pass. It has unlimited rides on the subway and local bus. It's a good way to explore the city without sparing too much thought on the transportation cost. Each trip costs 2.25USD and this 7D pass costs you around 27USD. I made good use of it and guess what, as I got out of subway just now and trying to take the air train to JFK, I pass my pass to someone else. Why waste the $$? Kekeke.Chinatown is located near canal st. ya, lots chinese. i bought cherry and ginseng tea there.
I observe that many ladies travel in groups. Ya, ladies only. I wonder where their men are! Kekek. These 3 Spanish ladies cant really speak English and they asked me to take a picture for them in the 34th st bound subway. Then I met these 2 old ladies who attended 3 Broadway shows consecutively in 2 days. She sat beside me during the Mary Poppins show. Ha. I can tell that this Maryland lady enjoyed very much.
She made an interesting remarks. As soon as she knows that I work in HP, she just blurted out that she is so sorry that she has just got a ipad from her 15 y/o grandchild! Well, why sorry? Haha.
The blacks are usually has less distinctive features like American and Asian. Their features are more broad and the look can be fierce and tough. I was so scared of it. Kekeke. The ginseng shop uncle told me not to roam to 120th st and beyond since lots of them stay there. So please stay away from that area. Kekek. Ya, at night, you can see lots them @ times square especially. The way they stress also a bit different. Oh ya, I observe that Nyorkers dress up and it applies to aunties! They are quite trendy. Haha. Ya, city ma, what do I expect? Kekek.
Toilet bowl. Metallic one. I wonder why? More cooling? Or maybe most of them are big in sizes, in order to prevent for any damage, this material shall last longer? Ahaha. Silly me took a photo @ the Staten island ferry terminal. Ha.
Btw, I am a bit disappointed with the NYSE. Security guards are there, you're unable to get close to the building. Ha. And the wall street bronze bull, you can see people crowd around it, trying to take picture. Building near Wall st are so tall, cant even take proper picture. Ha.
Times square. Pretty crowded and happening esp at night. You can see those giant billboards. Wow, I think in order to save the gaia, they should seriously consider switching off those bill board. Ha.
Status of Liberty. Ya. A gift from France to US. Hehe. Like that lo.
WTC. Hmm it is now into construction. I am actually convinced that those terrorists had deliberately want to destroy the building by running the plane unto WTC. It's near port and ya, it's in the plan. As there are many high rise in NYC, it's kind of hard to aim accurately. Ha.
Herald Square. Macy, the biggest store is located there. Ha. Nothing special. But lots people centered around there.
Empire state building. Chrysler Building. These two are the landmark of NYC. Ha. Too bad only Chrysler building has its light on at night. Hehe. Anyway, good that I found where they are.
Grand central Terminal. You can always see this building in most Hollywood movie. Ha. I remember that vividly in Borne Ultimatum. Ha. Haiya, nothing special.
Rockefeller Centre. Ha. Luckily I manage to get a glimpse of it and I saw Malaysia flag flying high. Kekeke. UN headquarter is nearby, by hudson river. i think.
Then I stroll along the 5th ave. kekeke. Lots branded and high class stores. You can see line outside of Abercrombie & finch flagship store. Ha. So rare. I follow the crowd and Q for that. Ha. The items are not cheap but you can see most people coming out of the store carry a bag. Ha. Branded la.
Broadway Mary Poppins @ New Amsterdam theatre. There is magical tricks and it happens @ 17 Cherry Tree lane where Banks family lives. I like the portion whereby the male lead had a moon walk and Mary Poppins fly in the air! Kekek. Shall not reveal too much. They have lots props.
Broadway The Phantom of the Opera @ Majestic theatre. Apparently there isn't any discount for that since this is a pretty prominent and famous musical. A must watch!!! Kekeke. The singing is simple awesome. The phantom is good, thumbs up for his voice; Christine is also not bad. Kekeke. I love it! Worth the $$ spent. Kekeke.I told Phillis that I have never imagine that I would spend on Broadway musical esp in NYC. Hmm I guess if I were a student, I wouldn't have extra $$ for that.
Lastly, one thing nice about NYC is that some stores do not have 8.75% sales tax. Kekek. So I did a bit of shopping there. Ha.
I think I should go back again one day..since I am missing the UN HQ… and south seaport and central park. Ha. Alamak
Oya, I watched another Jap movie on ANA. Its title is "About her brother". It is a very slow and 细腻. Basically you can tell that nothing can set the blood ties away. It requires lots love and patience and trying to love someone, even if you were to hate that person at times. God is amazing, he creates kinship and we are honored and privileged to have enjoyed those.

Awesome
Lazy seal by the coast. they are cute.. @ La Jolla
the kite shop @ Harbour, downtown
I wanna do paragliding next time! @Glider port
@Del Mar
Harbour... Colorado bridge
In flight entertainment
Watched quite a few movie during the trip, I observe a trend. I like american football related films and it always involves Black and White fight.
Invictus
Clint Eastwood movie. Partly due to Morgan Freeman, I want to see how he acts as president Mandela. Ha. He attempts to unite the country via soccer. Ya, it was a risk and he really risks his position as a new black president then despite of the racial tensions. I am glad that he treats his country needs and welfare more than himself. Matt daemon as Francois Pienaar is a white captain.
Mandela sent a subtle message to Pienaar, "if the Springboks can gain the support of non-white South Africans and succeed in the upcoming World Cup, the country will be unified and inspired."
Mandela actually played 'tricks' to make the team realize that they play for the nation and via those side trips, they get in touch with the people. Eventually the whole stadium was filled with springbok supporters, regardless of race. Cool. It's important to establish a clear goal so that you know where are you moving toward to. Ha.
They won the 1995 rugby world cup!
The blind side
Starred by Sandra Bullock as Leigh, it's based on a real story. A cool one. Really! Sandra won academy award for best actress.
Michael Oher is a black and after much hassle, with the help of Sean, he got enrolled to a Christian school. SJ is a cute character, funny little guy. He befriended with Mike, the big Mike.
Leigh is the key character of the movie, she is so personal and despite being mocked by her friends, she persist on keeping Mike with her and eventually adopt him as her son. The Sean family welcome him as part of the family. This warms Mike's heart and he began to show improvements in his studies and American football. His strength is in 'protective instincts', tested 98% of that. Ha.
In order to make him a successful person, the Sean family spent $$ and effort by hiring a private tutor, Ms Sue to improve his grades. The crux of choosing between Mississippi & Tennessee is interesting twist. Kekek.
The nice part about this movie is.. It is quite personal. It shows someone care and love for those who are different from them. It shows human sympathy and empathy for others. It shows selfless love. It is also nice that they insert Christian values in it, and there is a scene showing them saying grace during the meal. How sweet.
Remember the Titans
Also nice. You can see how hard to unite the 2 races and how this captain, Gerry is willingly to mix with the black guy and eventually help to persuade his girlfriend to accept his black teammates. Sadly, he got paralyzed from waist down after a car accident while celebrating their victory after the game.
The team is lead by Coach Boone, a new black coach and Coach Yoast, a white guy. You can see they have different management styles and ways to tame the team. What touches most is Yoast sacrifices his potential coach place by choosing to be faithful to coach Boone, who is his 'rival'
It's complicated
Messy and horrible relationship. That's all I can say. Meryl streep has her charm despite her age. Ha.
Phantom of the Opera
For the sake of reminiscing my musical the night before. Simply enjoying the music by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. ;p

Eventually the whole stadium was filled with springbok supporters, regardless of race. Cool. It's important to establish a clear goal so that you know where are you moving toward to. Ha.
They won the 1995 rugby world cup!
The blind side
Starred by Sandra Bullock as Leigh, it's based on a real story. A cool one. Really! Sandra won academy award for best actress.
Michael Oher is a black and after much hassle, with the help of Sean, he got enrolled to a Christian school. SJ is a cute character, funny little guy. He befriended with Mike, the big Mike.
Leigh is the key character of the movie, she is so personal and despite being mocked by her friends, she persist on keeping Mike with her and eventually adopt him as her son. The Sean family welcome him as part of the family. This warms Mike's heart and he began to show improvements in his studies and American football. His strength is in 'protective instincts', tested 98% of that. Ha.
In order to make him a successful person, the Sean family spent $$ and effort by hiring a private tutor, Ms Sue to improve his grades. The crux of choosing between Mississippi & Tennessee is interesting twist. Kekek.
The nice part about this movie is.. It is quite personal. It shows someone care and love for those who are different from them. It shows human sympathy and empathy for others. It shows selfless love. It is also nice that they insert Christian values in it, and there is a scene showing them saying grace during the meal. How sweet.
Remember the Titans
Also nice. You can see how hard to unite the 2 races and how this captain, Gerry is willingly to mix with the black guy and eventually help to persuade his girlfriend to accept his black teammates. Sadly, he got paralyzed from waist down after a car accident while celebrating their victory after the game.
The team is lead by Coach Boone, a new black coach and Coach Yoast, a white guy. You can see they have different management styles and ways to tame the team. What touches most is Yoast sacrifices his potential coach place by choosing to be faithful to coach Boone, who is his 'rival'
It's complicated
Messy and horrible relationship. That's all I can say. Meryl streep has her charm despite her age. Ha.

Simply Loving it - Glider Port & MGray
Glider port is one of my favourite place in SD. DanielW is so kind to bring us there after the technical discussion!!! How i wish i do the paragliding there! there were 2 people paragliding on the cliff and two were playing the modal aeroplanes. very cool. with nice scenery. Shhall upload it once i got back. We can see la jolla from there.. and it's near torres pines. We passed thru UCSD which is famous of biotech and medicine. ha.
Well, my resolution is...next time i am going to pay 100buck for this 1/2hr ride!!Arghh.. both D and P tempted me to do that. and they can tell that i wanna to do it every much. haha.
Then we were supposed to have ribs but Phill's BBQ is off on Monday. Boo.. Daniel described until it is very fanstastic. OK, next time i want to visit Pt Loma also, heard it's a cool bay, other than the San Diego Bay!
OK, we ended up going to Carlsbad for refund and In & Out burger!! hoho. the fries are nice, very nice!!! Cheap and yummy fastfood! I didn't know that only West Coast has In&out only, hoho, francise in SGP? nah, the raw ingredients would be expensive. kekeke.
Today's lunch at BJ's resturant and brewhouse! The beer is quite nice, the after taste is not strong and heard it has more wheat in it. Eric brought us there. kekeke. The avocado eggroll is nice too. oops, i forgot the beer i had, shall check out on the photo i took. kekek.
how amazing that we can make 'friends' via biz trip. haha. that's the power of chinese community uh. haha.. we take care of the asian!!
Eric made a funny remark on the good looking Mike. He said, how can God be so unfair to make Mike a good looking nice guy!! and he always has his smile on his face! ha. to think i have spent a good 2.5 hrs talking to Mike today. haha. Mike said he is going for Chicago Marathon and shooting for 3hr20min! Wowo.. and lauren, his 7 y/o daughter uses 31 min to finish 5km run! haha.
We are going to STone Brewing tonight for 'Levitation'!

Taxing weekend
La jolla cove. Cool, awesome scenery with bunch of seals lazing around on the rocks. Ha. cant's believe that they are sooooo lazy!!!
Cheesecake Factory is interesting. They sell all sorts of cheesecake. we had 2. Mango key lime cheesecake and tiramisu cake. thumbs up! I wish to eat more but... the entrees are big and appetizer, the egg roll guacamole fills up our stomach!
It was a big gathering since we have 5 of us! kekeke... all BPD and Ex-BPDers!
After a madrush Friday morning, we head down to Palm Springs for shopping spree. i am not quite convinced that we shopped continuously for 5+ hrs. It was fun!! and the feeling is ship! Group shopping is kind of different, we consodildate purchase in order to get more discounts! ha. bleh.
then the road to vegas is just so dark and there are quite some cars on the road, all hitting down to sin city for a breakaway! so we got in around 2am. What a day! exhausted after the mad shopping!
Thought can sleep in for awhile longer but... we are not. laoda said wanan meet at 0930. OK, so after a bf @mad onion, we visit hoover dam. It would probably be the last night we get to drive thru the dam since they are now building a new car access freeway... next time there is less chance that we will drive thru dam. Heard it was one of the biggest project back in 1935. hoho.. true enough, the dam design is just magnificient!
After the Hovver dam visit, guess what! We're back to shopping again @ vegas. Ha. i bought a few more stuffs. horrible ;p
Night buffer at exacilibur and the streetvisiting starts! it's kind of exciting to walk down the street and you can see some pimp and some hookers on the streeet. ya, now i reliase why is it called sin city. Other than the casino, there is sexual service also. You'll meet her in 20min!! and the nude advertisement card are on the street.
our legs are tired, resulting of the Las vegas strip walking and maybe the shopping we had! We conquered the whole strip ok! hahaha...
Nice one. Thank God that angels are around me and i am extremely thankful that there are companions for this road trip. else i cant imagine what would turn out to be if i ever on the road myself. ha. please, wake up, please, ms NG :))

Walk the Talk
Bully's http://www.bullysdelmar.com/ is real good, yummy! Thumbs up!! those plan to visit SD should just drive to the bay area (del mar) to taste it. what is more amazing is there is a promotion, instead of paying 28.85 for 1 entree, we pay 30 for 2 entree. I had prime rib!! Yumz. the relax walk along the bay also cool, get to see la jolla and torres pines on both sides and pacific ocean is just so wide!
Had a interesting talk with uncleLeung. ha. it was a 2hrs talk. I am glad that we can chat beyond the M-scope and he does give me different perspectives on the CSI product line up and the work culture btw US and BPD. ha. so our observations are valid.
well, glad that he gets to know me better since i talk all the time. ha. he just reminded me not to limit myself and i should open up my horizon and make the necessary step for next advancement/goal.
yup, i agree to that. and from our conversation, it ascertain my decision for not trying for Boise, JIP and SPS. ya, it takes a whole lot effort and years to build up trust and reputation and you really need to be careful while threading on the thin fine line. knowing that it may just take one incident to destroy what you have established!
interesting comment on my maturity and responsibility. ha. what a compliment! ok, walk the talk pls!
Min Sok Chon. I went to this Korean restaurant at Convoy St 4 years ago. ha. I never knew that i would go back again. well,things has changed.
the BBQ pork belly is nice but the smell of the pork is pretty strong. The rice noodles with spicy squid is yummy, compared to the hot stone beef rice. kekeke.
oh, happenned to dine with IrisZ together. To think i have volunteeerily sending her for water purchase and back to hotel and she couldn't tell that Courtyard is just opp the supermart! wowow. best!
Later We are heading to nordstrum rack and la jolla later for sun set viewing!!! kekeke.. and dinner@Cheesecake factory! lalalala..

CSI Visit
oh man, i am here in building 65! :)
Good to meet most of them! really! I notice that CharlieC has aged alot, Young has become more man and less happy, HowardM is surprising strong than we thought, MikeG is as handsome as before, and BillH is as usual, 'friendly'!
Cool to have met AliE, DanielW, EricL also. hehe... nice!
thankful for the blessed day. Really! thankful that they are well!
Nice discussion with Mike. Ha. how can i tell my eyes not to look at him ler? ha. he is just so nice looking!! ok, few more days for eyes candy. kekeke.
Then.. the dinner @TGI Friday is so so eventhough we ordered alot. it looks good but maybe our stomach is still sleeping, so we waste food again! The margarita grand is so-so. haha.
the drive back from Carmel Mountain clearly showed that we are well protected by God, else i cant imagine what could have happenned. His grace and His protection. really!
Today had a detailed discussion with HowardM. I am thankful that God grants favour to us and i can tell that the partnership with them is indeed a blessed one. Ya, nothing for granted.
Then lunch @ Pearl. guess what, bump into CalvinT and IrisZ. I think i am really bad in gossiping abt muscleOng. Actually I am very sad that he and msYan really had affair before he got married and who knows it may get revived again since he is now posted to SH. haiz.
PhillisT asked me why am i sad? I just feel that a man should not behave like that and the lady should try her best to avoid that. aren't we supposed to have aHoly matrimony with our partner only? cant they avoid it? as i know both of them and plus the wife, i really feel sorry and seriously refuse to believe that this is a truth! well, apparently this is the harsh fact. arghh..
I roam around building 66 to meet more people. OOps, had some silly conversation with Sergio, the SM in SD. ehh, i may not have been careful in words but i can glad to find out that their conversation is so opened! well, saw Tony and he even congratulated me for the Specialist advancement, first time formal intro to steveH, DanB, & JBaker. UncleLeung is not around. ha.
hope we can have a better work relationship in future!
Setting off for Del Mar, near torres pines and yes, Bully's!!

I am in CA again!
so i prepared mp5 and laptop for entertainment but who knows the both legs are 777! ha. glad that i am grounded again!
thank God for the safe journey. really, nothing is for granted.
since when the SD people become so impatient? maybe it's that young lady fault. Why honk me @ grape st???? cant you just wait awhile longer? geesh..
despite the calls to return Toyota car, i still get myself a blue corolla with neverlost. ha. the price has gone up to 12.99 per day. it used to be 9USD. hmm... bad! but i need it still!!
the visit to Maranatha chapel is kinda funny. GLad that PT wanna go, but guess what. i am surprised to have found out that the chapel is pretty empty and it has only 40 people around. we use song sheet and not projector. we doze off whenever we blink our eyes. it is just too tired. kekekek...
akai hana food is always GOOD :)

hoho...
the 15 min walk is unavoidable! but it's good exercise uh.

Last blog entry in Comtech
Today is the last work day in Comtech. How time flies, we actually move every 2 years. Ha. Dajieda said it is a way of promoting us since those managers will be cubeless when we are in D2. Ha. The very fact is we spend the whole week packing our stuffs!! haha.Good life uh.
Good bye, 188. I will miss you alot!
Tier x
Hmm I think sometimes getting out of SG for a while is definitely good for me since I think the contagious bug is affecting those who still care and bother to talk about it. Ha.
GolfVV will be leaving for Mel’s team. Good for her. Really! As I can see she is being 打压 under such system. Sorry lo, can’t be helped. Hope she can really maximize her potential in PJI.
As hondaPeow chose to stay behind, I guess his ultimate aim to become a PE. Perhaps we can only wait till July then we will know whether there is such an opportunity for him to move up. Else, he said he lose hope in Q2 management and wanna to leave. Bottomline, we all want advancement!
Ya, so be it. I mean every individual has their own dream and passion and wants in life. When you are unable to find satisfaction in your current workplace, please move on! You know, the way you guys communicate your thought is like you are trying to brainwash us so that we think alike?? Hmmm I hope you guys are not trying to manipulate our thought and actions! I seriously hope that you won’t try to have small acts after brainwashing most of us. Hehe.. of course, everybody has his/her own freewill to decide what to take & what to reject :)
Then we talk about which tier do we belong to. hmm it's a tricky question. I believe I belong to the tier 1 as of now. I just feel sick about it. Really! Ok, shall talk to mentorC next week.
What CO said is right, one mountain cannot contain 2 tigers. Kekeke. So it would be good for individual if he/she has chosen to leave. Hehe.

KT in ShangHai ... Part II
这趟SH之行，其实也有一些感触. 感恩
这趟还不错，那些还有点名气的店都去消费了，哈哈，拜阿公所赐。
苏浙汇；渝信川菜；蜀；翡翠小吃；鼎泰丰；御庭；代官山；避风塘；新旺茶餐室；港丽；吉旺；星巴克；costa coffee；真功夫；泰妹火锅
最爱渝信的水煮鲶鱼，小黄鱼，牛蛙，旦旦面；避风塘的柚子茶；港丽的茄子肉；苏浙汇的牛丁，新旺的烧肉烧鸭，波萝油包，肥牛卷；吉旺的橄榄菜心；真功夫自家平明化的鸡肉蒸肉；好吃！这期间喝了无数的红毛咖啡，天气冷啊，所以喝热咖啡解解冻；偶尔以蛋糕代替午餐也挺好的。呵呵
与如果有机会，下回一定要尝尝以下这几间：干锅居；采蝶轩；望湘园；金茂顶层的咖啡
这城市嘛，真的太两极化。外滩换了新面貌，宽敞和干净多了；若是你有机会走走看看，经过一些小巷，你会发现还有许多了过着不是那么奢华的生活。路过一排的小房子，恰巧是午饭时间，店里曼了人，我瞧了瞧价目表，一般的价格约RMB7左右。７元就能使人温饱，真好！
再来，我看到一辆停泊在路边的摩托车，一对夫妻正在那儿现卖炒面；旁边有两个小姐坐在小椅子上享用热腾腾的果条。老实说，我有点冲动，想要买来吃，尝尝味道；但我又担心我的浪费对卖面大叔的不敬，算了，别买吧。碰巧我又机会和出租车司机谈起这事，他嘱咐我千万别乱卖，因为街道的东西都有点肮脏，吃了会泻肚子。拜托，请别误会，是他说肮脏的，我只是说好像不太卫生。呵呵。
Hmm 想想以上我才刚谈到各样的美食，价格相差数十倍，哎。无论如何，只要能三餐温饱，吃的还健康，没吃坏身子就好。所以我常觉得出差时很浪费资源；明明就不需要如此消费，我们还是花钱不眨眼，打的的次数更不胜其数，也许这是所谓的福利吧！地铁只需要RM6Ｂ但打的就花了RMB85，像话吗？
这回我在许多大道留下了足迹。呵呵。其实我蛮感恩自己住在浦东的，呵呵，早上不需要塞车，可以９时才打的去保税区，日子好咧！陆家嘴，南京东路，黄埤南路，淮海中路，徐家汇，衡山路，十六铺，豫园，世纪大道，浦东大道等。哈哈，很好玩，走得有点累。呵呵
世博2010
因着世博，上海换了新面貌，连出租车大叔都说他们花了太多钱，连高架桥都上了白色的漆，悬挂着绚丽的灯，世博口号到处都有，街上也都能看到处处有武警！我啊，乘车绕了世博场馆附近两回，大叔惊讶我为何要到泸浦大桥看看，我说因为我要看灯饰啦！呵呵。这样的消费方式还真有趣，我也让大叔绕了外滩看夜景！
那天惊心胆跳得告诉陆先生我要出去半天，哈哈，没有请假。虽然艳子说不用交代，但就是敌不过那把声音，决定通知一下陆先生。哈哈。周保和艳子协同我一同参与第一天的世博压力测试！
真的好大啊！人有多，再加上细雨，真的有点扫兴！原来虽然离开幕日期还不远，有些场馆还没有完成！要如何开幕咧?! 我们三人有点懒，看见队排得那么长，都觉得不需要参加预先开放的场馆，算了啦，看看外观也不差！周保是我们的随行摄影师，呵呵。天气不佳，照片应该没有很好，他说的。
场馆外形让我留下较好的影响的有菲律宾、中国、巴西、澳洲、西班牙、法国、瑞士、立陶宛和种子造型的英国！真的是百花齐放也！
周保还说世博的总面积是新加坡的一半！据我了解，它应该有59 kmsqr. 虽然没有进入场馆参观有点可惜，但只要你一看到那大戳的 Chinaman，你真的可以掉头打包回家啦！也许人老了，不喜欢太热闹，过度拥挤！哈
小聚
好不容易才与虾米、飞翔和音符见面。事隔数来年，我们竟然在异地相会，很难得！是上帝的呼召和爱把他们带到那儿。觉得我们都长大了，昔日的同伴如今成为上帝合用的器皿。眼前的挣扎和挑战不在话下，很开心知道他们愿意持守，秉着一颗爱神爱人的心继续前进！加油啊！
恭喜
恭喜二哥得奖啦！更高兴的是他勇于在众人面前感谢上帝！原来这样的一个小举动也能感动其他的人，所以还是好的！
- 能在Q2里学习，在技术的领域上有更多的机会和较良好的环境学习和认识新事物
- 能在马国长大；虽然不是个个语言都能掌握得很好，但至少中英文的水平还一般，能沟通干活；马来文嘛，听听还行！呵呵
- 它让我对自己更有自信心，也督促我在继续努力向上
- 它让我看到其实我有需要转换跑道的需要
- 有意外的机会与官职比我高的多的３个男人相处，吃饭；还真的很搞笑
- 我体会到有家人同在和陪伴，是多么愉快的，尤其是分享快乐的时刻
- 能用阿公的钱吃喝玩乐
- 虽然是第一次较长的时间独自公干，可以自由溜达，慢慢发掘这个大城市
- 上帝让我在异乡能继续聆听他的提醒：要记得起初的爱哦；那首Be still 更让我倍感温馨
- 它让我再思和体会relocation的问题和挑战
- 我属于BPMC，不在岛国时还蛮挂念这儿的人与事
- 有机会与少年时期的导师和一起成长的虾米和飞翔小聚

再来，我看到一辆停泊在路边的摩托车，一对夫妻正在那儿现卖炒面；旁边有两个小姐坐在小椅子上享用热腾腾的果条。老实说，我有点冲动，想要买来吃，尝尝味道；但我又担心我的浪费对卖面大叔的不敬，算了，别买吧。碰巧我又机会和出租车司机谈起这事，他嘱咐我千万别乱卖，因为街道的东西都有点肮脏，吃了会泻肚子。拜托，请别误会，是他说肮脏的，我只是说好像不太卫生。呵呵。
Hmm 想想以上我才刚谈到各样的美食，价格相差数十倍，哎。无论如何，只要能三餐温饱，吃的还健康，没吃坏身子就好。所以我常觉得出差时很浪费资源；明明就不需要如此消费，我们还是花钱不眨眼，打的的次数更不胜其数，也许这是所谓的福利吧！地铁只需要RM6Ｂ但打的就花了RMB85，像话吗？
这回我在许多大道留下了足迹。呵呵。其实我蛮感恩自己住在浦东的，呵呵，早上不需要塞车，可以９时才打的去保税区，日子好咧！陆家嘴，南京东路，黄埤南路，淮海中路，徐家汇，衡山路，十六铺，豫园，世纪大道，浦东大道等。哈哈，很好玩，走得有点累。呵呵
世博2010
因着世博，上海换了新面貌，连出租车大叔都说他们花了太多钱，连高架桥都上了白色的漆，悬挂着绚丽的灯，世博口号到处都有，街上也都能看到处处有武警！我啊，乘车绕了世博场馆附近两回，大叔惊讶我为何要到泸浦大桥看看，我说因为我要看灯饰啦！呵呵。这样的消费方式还真有趣，我也让大叔绕了外滩看夜景！
那天惊心胆跳得告诉陆先生我要出去半天，哈哈，没有请假。虽然艳子说不用交代，但就是敌不过那把声音，决定通知一下陆先生。哈哈。周保和艳子协同我一同参与第一天的世博压力测试！
真的好大啊！人有多，再加上细雨，真的有点扫兴！原来虽然离开幕日期还不远，有些场馆还没有完成！要如何开幕咧?! 我们三人有点懒，看见队排得那么长，都觉得不需要参加预先开放的场馆，算了啦，看看外观也不差！周保是我们的随行摄影师，呵呵。天气不佳，照片应该没有很好，他说的。
场馆外形让我留下较好的影响的有菲律宾、中国、巴西、澳洲、西班牙、法国、瑞士、立陶宛和种子造型的英国！真的是百花齐放也！
周保还说世博的总面积是新加坡的一半！据我了解，它应该有59 kmsqr. 虽然没有进入场馆参观有点可惜，但只要你一看到那大戳的 Chinaman，你真的可以掉头打包回家啦！也许人老了，不喜欢太热闹，过度拥挤！哈
小聚
好不容易才与虾米、飞翔和音符见面。事隔数来年，我们竟然在异地相会，很难得！是上帝的呼召和爱把他们带到那儿。觉得我们都长大了，昔日的同伴如今成为上帝合用的器皿。眼前的挣扎和挑战不在话下，很开心知道他们愿意持守，秉着一颗爱神爱人的心继续前进！加油啊！
恭喜
恭喜二哥得奖啦！更高兴的是他勇于在众人面前感谢上帝！原来这样的一个小举动也能感动其他的人，所以还是好的！

KT in ShangHai
suppose to post it when i was in SH. who knows i cant access at all.. let me recollect the memory bit by bit.. haha...
原来当CH出差时，他要专用司机。那天有机会与HK，VO和CH在车上，他们为着小小的事情讨论了老半天，想起来真的有点可笑。
到底是什么课题么？原来只是几点要让司机接他们上班，就因这各人的开会时间有差异。当他们喋喋不休的讨论着，他们忽然恍然大悟，发现其实他们只要打车去公司，干吗这么麻烦啊！这群大男人，尽然为了这种小事商讨了这么久，呵呵。CH还说，他们竟然在engineer面前这么失礼，他日该怎么服人作决策！哈哈。到最后我真的忍不住笑了出来。哈哈。
牛蛙和蜗牛
这两者还真是有点分别，真搞不清为何他老是说错，我们在座的都不好意思更正他，毕竟他是我们当中的大老板！哈
原来听说他出差时一定要吃好的；他还说上回他一人出差时，吃了几顿M。哈哈。难道就不能自个儿用餐嘛，大男人一个！呵呵
这两个星期以来吃了两次田鸡，我还是喜欢咱们的宫保和辣椒风味。麻辣的煮法，还可以！
线条围巾
蛮贴心的，因为它一点都不起眼可是它让我保护我的颈项受寒；这天气还真的有点冷，风吹起时更受不了。呵呵
VO常让人摸不着他的心思和用意。有时我觉得他很诚恳，有时我又觉得他会在你不自觉地时候在背后插你一刀。所以我的结论是：不需要与他太熟络，因为他偶尔在你不经意时会变脸。
CH
原来我还蛮会观察人的。呵呵，他们这三个男人真的很搞笑，可怜的CH，被下属拿来当笑柄都不知道，VO和HK之间是有一定的默契和心灵感应；呵呵。我这位旁观者还真的是在一边暗笑，真的很滑稽！老实说，CH还真节俭；贵为SM他出差报公帐，似乎有点违背SOBC，看似想要闪过结账的机会。呵呵。拜托，阿公的钱啊！最好笑的就是，逛完街后他还要相约其他两人一起乘出租车回酒店！天啊！我昨天差点就在避风塘那儿狂笑起来！呵呵。CH还建议他们三人到家乐福去买早餐。嗨哟，他们3人都高我至少两极，搞不懂为何CH他为何不能阔气一点啊？！
TB
原来我还蛮幸运的。他们开业4年来，这是第一个大型的Offset TB。承蒙ＣＨ的话，因为我到了上海，所以他们才有机会。呵呵。搞笑啦！他们的讨论挺有趣的，我真的是大开眼界！哎，都怪大型集装箱车惹得祸，我们最后并不能去玩ｐａｉｎｔ ｂａｌｌ！呵呵，可惜可惜！

他没有钱
昨晚的饭局还真来得有点突然。刘小姐建议我们来个ladies night，golfVV和我有幸受邀出席。想感谢上帝不是因为有免费的晚餐，而是桌上的话题很惹人深思。
A：“干嘛还不结婚呢？”
B：“他不是我想结婚的对象”
A：“那为什么还在一起呢？”
B：“因为亲情，说不出口。他脾气很坏，更糟的是他没有钱！”
C：“跟我一样，他也没有钱”
一句“他没有钱”总结了为何现代城市的女子用很逻辑的借口延迟婚约，从刘小姐的口气听来，她可真是在骑驴找马；因着习惯和不好意思，她让他继续住在她那儿。哎，这世界到底是怎么了嘛！她言谈中也流入出她想当少奶奶的渴望，过着悠闲的生活。呵呵。其实这是多数女子的梦想，她一点都没错！
难道她对他没有爱吗？眼前的爱不胜过金钱么？没钱什么都别谈了啊？！
老实说，刘小姐的条件是不错，就如她父母所说的，她应该可以找到更不错的伴侣。更妙的是，尽管她不觉得会与他有任何的将来，他的父亲偶尔会到他们家小住一个月，帮忙做做家务，煮煮饭。她一点都不介意他妈到访，她乐得很呢，因为不用做家务。呵呵。好有趣咧！
向她说了，下周与她男友一同用餐，算公司的账！呵呵
昨天我对golfVV有更深一层的认识，她原来不想出国工作，即使眼前有个QA manager 的职位，她也不为所动。更劲爆的是，我在不经意的时候从will口中知道她其实有打算申请mel那里的工作。这是可以理解的，毕竟她在WS和SCF 也的确被打压了；hmmm 适者生存啦！
