Opening the door to 2011 !!!

ahsun: =)

Wow... i mean seriously wow!! 2010 ... is gonna be over in a flash... and here comes 2011.... year of the rabbit.... turning 26... the year of positioning.... looking back at 2010.... things seems to have mould themselves out the way it was supposed to be.....

I had loads of gathering, activities with closed friends from NYP, NUS and soccer friends of course....

I knew more people with the embarkment of my new career....

I learnt more skills and knowledge with regards to the operating of the business and exposure to different frameworks....

I found someone who was as terrible as me... haha... -> Wendy

I found the "calling" in my life which was to help more people whom i care for

I learn how to appreciate the finest things in life and learn to give-and-take

I finally no need to go to school anymore for slpy lectures and project deadlines

I have graduated with a NUS Honours Degree in Computing(Major in Information Systems) Specialization in Service Science, Management & Engineering(SSME)

I start to plan for my life in 1,3,5,10,20 years time with goals and dreams i set out to achieve in my life!!

So so much in 2010.... makes it a wonderful year... and a year to look forward to in 2011.... for more goals.... dreams to be achieved.... i believe goal setting is like a compass.... a target board for us to base all our little decision towards the bigger goal we have at the back of our mind.... it's necessary.... no matter how big or small... as long as u know what u want... u will get it.... somehow... haha....

Just to share my goals for 2011 as follows: =)

1. Buy a Toyota Corolla Axio 1.5X in July 2011

2. Learn how to play Golf by June 2011

3. 10 day visit in Taiwan in March 2011 with Wendy!

4. Attend Stock Trading Course with SGX Academy by Sept 2011

5. Attain double ticket convention to European countries in 2012 by Oct 2011, earning on average more than $4000/mth

6. Learn how to COOK by next X'mas 2011!!!! -> noobcook.com

7. Really really go for a jog at least once every week to train for IPPT

8. Carry on my mission: Ensure all my family and friends around me are well equipped with proper financial planning for themselves or their family members in the years to come!!

I think goals and dreams aside.... they will be stuffs which most of us will wanna buy and drop them into the wishlists.... haha... here goes:

- Canon D550 with Lens (EF S18 - 55IS)

- Logitech Wireless Keyboard + Mouse

- Upgrade to Iphone 4G
- E-book reader (Amazon Kindle, Apple ipad etc)

- Seiko Watch

- Mountain Bike for nigh cycling

- More business wear and shoes

So there are more or less the items to grab in 2011... haha... wishing everyone a happy new year 2011, with wonderful dreams and goals to work towards..... and of course... stay happy always.... =) What's the point of working towards your goal if it doesn't makes u happy right??? =)

Exams Over!!! Woohooo~~~

ahsun: =)

Every end is a beginning of something great!!!

Yesss!! I officially ended my 3 and a half year of NUS study.... graduating with Bachelor Degree in Computing, Major in Information Systems, Specializing in Service Science, Management & Engineering (SSME)!!!! Yippeeee!!!

Had my last paper last friday, straight away headed for celebration.... had lunch with shi jun, jun wen, calvin & maurice @ Crystal Jade at Holland V.... ordered the Yang Chow Fried Rice.... Love it totally... haha... the fragrance can just kill.... haha.... superbly nice.... also ordered some dim sum from the menu and ordered the roasted pork meat that we missed out the previous time as it was sold out.... although all of us except maurice have finished our paper... we deserved the break as it's the last paper in NUS.... haha....

Then we started to talk about jobs... careers.... life in NUS... what will our future be etc....activities for dec.... mini gathering on 1st dec for drinking session with all the close friends we had in NUS... @ vivocity... haha.... really looking forward to it... =)

After lunch... as we walked to buona vista... someone suggested watching movie since it's still early... so jun wen suggested why not go causeway point for harry potter's movie... haha... but calvin and maurice gave it a miss... so me, shijun and junwen went ahead... got there... but the movie only starts at 3:45pm when it was only 3pm.... so we went arcade to play some games... haha... ages since i played games there... played guitar hero and basketball game.... before we headed for the movie....

The movie on the whole was quite draggy.... was mainly about how the dark lord tried ways and means to kill harry potter and trying very hard to find their hideouts.... with some of the good characters sacrificed in the process.... and the process continues with the "3 brother" story... so part II as predicted will be finding the stone to revive dumbledore, retrieved back the his own magic wand and kill Lord Veldemort.... haha.... as predicted by jw...

Saturday was a night outing with the cousins... haha... had tonnes of fun firstly... dinner @ Yum Cha Chinatown... steamboat dinner + Dim sum + Peking Duck + some other side dishes... stomach was blowing up... haha... but we still managed to finished it... after that met up with wendy and went to this KTV pub 1819 near outram mrt...

Cool place.... with great sound system and cheap booze... haha.... ordered a tower with 6 of us; Joanne, Joyce, Debbie, Dorothy, me & Wendy.... played dice bluff game and also number guessing game... haha... really enjoyed the night after such a long period of mugging for exams.... =)

Sunday, supposingly was trip to JB with NUS peers... but... jw's passport expired without him knowing it!!! haha... so we had to make a U-turn back to Singapore... haha... attendendees were alvin, jj, jac, jw, shijun, calvin & me.... initially thought of going to punggol for seafood dinner... but changed our mind... went to Turf club first... haha.... and view a live horse race... and betted $10 as well... heehee... but lost :( alvin and co bought number 2 and they won $23 i think.. haha.. lucky asses.... =) Beginner's Luck i think... heehee...

After that, we headed to bugis for steamboat but only to found out that they only opens at 5:30... so we went for tau huey & you tiao somewhere near Selegie.... before heading to Paradiz Centre to play pool.... i really suck at it.... missed hitting the ball, giving up clear chance to gain points ( *we played by point system and loser must peel prawns) haha... eventually i peeled.... ahaha... but had lots of laughter and fun lor... kns one... haha....next time must train pool... heehee....

After pool is steamboat again!! wah... at that point of time already super not feeling well.... think because of last night's drinking and eating some of the fried food... like fried soft shell crab and oysters.... sinful and super burning my throat... plus my flu which was pestering me all day long... super sianz....

Really wished to say thanks for all those who came to celebrate... drink.... party and laughed.... haha... it's always great to be with friends after a long period of hard work and effort.... hopefully everyone will strives hard for their career next... and we shall meet up more often to update about our lives... =) Jiayou everyone!! Takecare!! =p

" Dreams & Goals Are Outside of Comfort Zone.... Break it!!! "

It's 5AM!!! I'm in school!!!

ahsun: =)

Supposed to find a place to slp in school.... who knows.... so many people hogging the usuall good slping hideouts.... shit!!!!

Having my 9am paper later.... yet i still haven't slp.... damn zai lar me.... lol....

Already finished my revision at around 1am.... went to NUS macDonald for supper den came back to School of Computing..... Suddenly... i realized.... i will be having the second last paper of my uni life....

Looking back.... i start to miss the days of mugging.... rushing for projects with a team of warriors.... good friends.... some commandos.... some officers.... some chao keng soldiers.... haha.... but we gel together.... we talk, laugh, work, enjoy, play, dine...... and soon will graduate together!!! Sometimes.... it takes time to realized that time is running.... and soon certain lifestyle will change.... new ways of living will be adopted.... People change.... due to different environment and timing....

Sometimes, it takes a little story here or some hearsay from some friends to realized some big things which have been missing from my routine life.... i should change... for the better.... break out of my usual routine... to re-learn what i have learnt and not skilled enough.... i shall perform at my very best.... at least i know... if the things i'm doing doesn't feels right.. i have to feel alright... inject some fun into it.... only i can start to enjoy... no use crying over spilled milk (*also i don't drink milk though.... ) but the point is to stay positive.... and stick to it!!! It's damn important!!!

After this friday.... NUS shall be in my portfolio.... as a school which nurtures me.... to become one of the key workforce in the society.... to say that i learn alot in NUS is BS...or rather.... i feel that it's the people i know over my 3.5 years in NUS that made a difference to my life....

The education and knowledge gained nevertheless are just stepping stones to my degree.... but the people, their values, goals, dreams, mindset i what i seriously have learnt over the years... good or bad.... mixture of them... @ the end of the day..... just need to ask myself one question "Have i done my best??" If yes... good.... at least the results i get i will not be disappointed and regret... if no.... Screw it.... that'll be time wasting.... hahaha

"It's good to keep things simple but it couldn't be simpler than that"

Journey... is a word to use when there are different life paths for us to choose.... and we eventually have to make a choice..... regardless it's due to whatsoever reason.... stick to it.... perservence and work hard towards it.... you will surely get something from it... be it learning experience or mini success.... Because it takes 7 mini successes to make up one BIG SUCCESS!!!

Jiayou everyone.... really looking forward to December ... a month filled with challenges... and time to push myself up to new frontiers.... BREAKTHROUGH our usual circle.... only then we can see greener pastures outside the circle.... =p
