today i had a free lunch!! and the good thing is, its more than juz soggy mac fries and burger.. hehehe.. in fact, its a buffet with variety and interesting dishes! hehe i muz thank mpe for providing such good welfare to us..
heh k la its not everyday tat we get to have this treat.. its only cuz its the official launch of teh marine and offshore engineering course in mpe, and since there're outside pple comnig in to talk to us regarding the course, so of cuz the school muz keep up appearances?? hehe im' juz guessing btw.. mebbe the school IS tat generous..

and yeah now i'm qte interested in marine engineering.. and i noe more about it. its basically about ship building, repairing.. mostly about ships i guess. hmm actually its common sense hor, if aero is about planes then marine shld b about ships?? hehe.. y din it occur to me :P

ya and i'm really interested in trying marine eng for my ia now. 2 companies which i'm interested in wld be keppel, and pan united. pan united is a local company, not exactly v big sized. my fren is having ia there now and i heard tat there isn't much office politics there. which is a major plus point. i had some bad experience.. and i'd want to delay a repeat of tat as long as i can help it.. heh. on the other hand, keppel is, as every singaporean noes, big. and it seems like hte job scope there is more interesting too (but of cuz it also means more challenging ie tough).

hmm but 2 bad things about working in teh marine industry: loads and loads of overtime!!! cuz well the maritime industry is an impt one in s'pore, and of i guess at any one time there wld be ships in teh port waiting to be repaired and ships waiting to be built. heh. the overtime is compounded by distance of the marine eng companies from lavender. cuz htey're all around jurong/tuas area. well i have thought about psa, which is in tanjong pagar, but i'm not sure whether they're offering ia and besides i heard the politics there suck. oh well, shall see wat to do.

oh btw, singapore has got a new Prime Minister!!! Congrats to PM Lee Hsien Loong! altho i sorta miss PM Goh. i wonder how things will be like in the coming years. to be truthful i heard the masses dun exactly adore PM Lee Jr.. in fact they htink he got the post only cuz of his surname. no comments cuz i dun really like to get in touch with politics (as can be seen in teh prev para. heh ) gasp i can't believe i'm so bold as to discuss politics here. oh well. free speech for everyone.. anw i'm not speaking against anythign.. juz gossiping actually. heh.

hmm i'm not surprised if this is the longest entry in dunno how many months. cuz well i'm typing with italics font.. and i think it sorta makes me want to write more! but i guess regular font is better for reading??

nowadays my nick on msn is "not too yummy". cuz i fell sick on tuesday. bleah. its the usual flu and sore throat and cough etc.. and as usual too i guess i'll take a week to recover..heh. hmm actually mebbe not.. i'm ald at the later stages of my illness. ie my nose is really blocked 95% of the time with mucus tats really hard to blow away. and usually this happens when i'm about to recover. yay.

i dun like to be in a mist. but sometimes the mist is there only cuz i allowed it to be. and when i want to get out if it, i discover the mist is juz too deep.

it rhymes, if you din notice :P

wldnt it be nice.. if everyone knew the right questions to ask?? or have the initiative to share?

i din even noe charm's coming back!! means i'll get to see alissa milano (is tat her name??) on screen again - i htink she's absolutely so charming (pardon the pun)! hmm its only today tat i realised charm's coming back.. sorry folks, realised i've been in the clamshell for qte a while..

pardon my bonkers behaviour if you see any.. its been ages since i last slept so late.. ie 3plus.
mayb i shld go slp now and give the comp up to my pa to play CHINESE chess. *wink*

sighz i htink there's sthg wrong w me these 2 days.. dunno y i'm juz plagued with alot of -ve tots recently. i feel bleah. big change from juz 3 weeks ago. but logically there seems to be nothing wrong in my life. but nowadays its more like: i'll ponder over small little things everywhere and think they point to some not so small probs (whether existent or non-existent, heh) or it may be jus tat i'm getting into depression again. okz i noe, i muz get out of it even before i fall in. yepz.
 
sometimes i really think i think too much.. and too unnecessarily.. mebbe i shld htink bout other stuff.. heh
 
:)

its very true. wat's very true? i'm talking about the "comfort zone syndrome". my sis and my godbro were juz talking about it last night. they were saying how this syndrome keeps them from changing jobs. (my sis's an air stewardess with sia -- i'm very different from my sis, physically at least -- and my godbro's a mech engineer with saf -- oh he juz got promoted to the rank of major)

for me, its more of inertia to break out of my usual lifestyle, or to break out of my usual thinking habits even tho i know i wont get anywhere with them. like right now, i've got a chance to design something and hence start my portfolio. wanted to make use of my free afternoon today to do it, but in the end, the forecast of silly probs (no ideas, slowing down of comp system) made me procrastinate till now. and still procrastinating. ridiculous right.

mebbe this is an excuse, but i think i need rest. have been on higher than normal drive for teh past 2mths, its time i rested i think. especially now when i need to recuperate for school reopening (it's happening in less than 2 weeks time!!ARRGH!!). cuz term time is a very tiring time for me.. and there'll be no rest until recess. and even then i dun htink i can rest much cuz i'll b busy catchign up on my studies. sigh.

but wat pressures me most is tat i feel guilty bout resting! read in wink and grow rich tat there's a season for everything, and i totally agree. and i guess mebbe now is my autumn time? heez. but there's so many things to do, and i keep feelign guilty bout my never-ending procrastinations.

ok i guess by this time anyone reading htis wld think "y dun this silly gal juz once and for all decide whether she wants to rest or stop procrastinating, wldnt tat solve all the probs.."
i totally agree. and so i shall go meditate on it. haaaaaaaaaa................a bientot, peeps! heh

i'm jus back from bs with weixiu and i feel much better now. ok i havent really sorted out my thinking but now i know when i do try, i will be able to come to some headway i guess. :)

things like work, provision of material needs, contentment..

ya i'm really glad that i'm not alone in "Narrow-way".. otherwise i'll easily fall off the track..

hmm and today is kinda sweet :)

my life is still changed, the challenges are still there, but now i'm sure that i will not be left alone to handle them. for i know i'm being taken care of :)

hmm time has passed by so fast!!! its been.. how long?? i suspect its been more than one week since i last blogged.. hmm..

anw had qte a sweet friday last week :) i guess its true.. its not the htings tats done.. but the desire to do those things. its teh heart tat matters..hmm it sounds hugely familiar..............*winkz*

hmm.. qte a few doubts/insecurities came up to me these 2 days.. dun think i shld igore them, rather i shld think bout them, but at teh same time, have courage and confidence to see past them, have a wider perspective. :)

hmm i like to see things in a proactive way.. y brood over things and let it affect your day?? i'd prefer happier, brighter days.. either i change myself to suit my env, or i change the env to suit me. the keyword is change! if i can't/dunno how to solve them myself, i'd ask for advice.. helps most of the time.. :)

hmm htink i shld go slp soon.. havent been slping before 4 nowadays.. heh
