i was supposed to do work. my goal was to finish the fm individual ASSignment tonight! but i dont think i can do so... cos i am slacking and doing any other thing other than working?
a few mins back, i was looking thru my frenster pics... yes... friendster! it was so hot and popular years ago... while looking at the past pics, i realized i had aged. ya... i thought i am forever charming, muscular and young. but this is not the case now? even though i am confident n full of myself, i am not tat confident to sae that i fit that sort of description right now. time is scary. cos i felt tat i had aged real fast.
well, heres a preview of my past pics! i am still rem the 1st pic was taken at scarlet hotel while the 2nd pic was at chimes. i can still rem tat night at scarlet hotel, shao n i were smoking like mad. lol... well, that were the days. no limits and we were on top of our world.
for this 3rd pic, i put it up as i kind of miss my body of the past. adrian was asked me if i still head to the gym today and if i did rem correctly, my last gym session was like 2 years ago? gone were the days where i can do 200 pushups a day. now? i even had trouble to pass IPPT. adrian ask me to train back... but.... i hardly had the motivation. last sat, i showed dear my tummy and she was quite shocked? she said a few months ago i still had a bit of waist............ wat to do? we were getting fat.... can u imagine gg for sushi buffet after our veri short run? LOL

i told some of my frens that if a proj mgmt job came in, i can start killing myself. i think i can start to sharpen the knife? cos... straits construction called me today! after 3 months of processing my resume?!?!!?! they offered me a job which is maintenance engineer and han got it too! we are sooo happy la! to the extent we start working out the cost of buying a car? cos we need to travel ard to different sites?
i somehow like the job scope... its something like PM but FM based? u have to travel btw proj sites to deal with defects such as identify and analyze the defects, get quotations and then coordindate and schedule pple to go down to repair? its jus like dr. michael chew's module?
when this job position came in, i donno to laugh or cry? cry in the sense that i already signed with tiong aik and this offer came too late? laugh is laugh at my own folly. i don like to break my promise n my word to anyone but i think theres a high chance nw? another thing is... during the career fair, the project director was promoting their current projects and he mentioned that they have a site at clementi which is close to nus? and i immediately replied... oooo... tat one tat found a bomb one ar.... he then paused for a while before saying yes.... maybe impression really counts? LOL

life is pretty fuck up today. tried to blog earlier but my great internet connection is down again.
everyone is home todae on a weekday and i jus wish tat everyone is out working? i like the idea of being home alone with a god damn quiet environment. i suspect my sis's frens all either had hearing problems or they are deaf. cos she talked so bloodly loud. and one more thing which i dont simply understand. she always like to use my pc when there are more than 1 computer at home AND when i am trying to do my fucking work. the same thing happen today again and afterwhich, she carried on chatting away with her loud voice. i finally had peace at 3pm and did some work till 5pm when i was feeling slpy. took a nap and father woke me up 15mins later to ask me to check COE prices. why of such days and time got to be at this momment?
well, life is jus like a dick. suck it.

My mp3 is down to 1 bar and i hope it doesnt give up on me during this crucial period. Seriously bored here... And the waiting area is filled with patients.

this is by far... one of the freest day this sem! we had only 1 day week and its FRIDAY? and after that we can proudly proclaim TGIF!!! so... we did tbp proj at our fav haunt... yw place again! and we disturb wessie again... haha... and... after discussion, we made our way to changi airport for a site walk! hahaha... even though its a proj excursion, i feel quite shiok and carefree? cos we jus took our bloody own sweet time to eat popeye (my 1st time eating)... talk a bit of cock... then anyhow walk and snap pics... hahahahaaa... and we felt a bit sua gu when hanxiang jio us to sit on the chairs in T3. to our surprise... the chairs are not as hard as wat we thought it should be and its actually veri comfortable! the material is something like fabric yet look solid and it somehow fit ur ass. LOL... adrian drove yw's family car and it stalked once. lol... and from the pics... hes driving like he just passed his driving? lol...


i still rem i had to hold the wheel like tat. look cock but u have to do such actions to pass the test...
heres the pics that we took at the zooooo! hahaha...

this monkey is soooo funni. hes been sitting there staring at us throughout the duration at the station. he might be mocking at us and find us amusing to keep looking at him in an exciting manner? lol... finally... look at his wee wee... LOLOL...

i was at tamp polyclinic for my kneecap consultation when i witness a damn funni thing. apparently, tamp polyclinic doesnt plan their spatial performance well where they placed the bench against the wall with a fire extinguisher above one of the seats. so... a 50-60++ ah pei sat down beside me and hit his back of the neck against the fire extinguisher. i think its even funnier than me nearly fall down while standing up at causeway point foodcourt last night... lol... cos.... the ah pei got 1 more prob to consult the doctor? lol
got a call from tiong aik todae and their hr do things really fast, efficient n chop chop. this is the attitute that i like but certainly not i wanted now. they wan me to sign the contract real fast and eugene wans me to start on 3rd may and even prepared to let me go on my grad trip? unpaid leave of cos la... haha... this spells out 2 possibilities. either they are really short handed... or i am in super demand. even though i am thick skinned, i think the 1st option is definitely true. i couldnt make up my mind cos i waiting for other last possible job opportunities? if i accept this qs job and pm job came calling, i will surely kill myself. so... i drag the signing of contract till 22nd for as long as i possibly could so tat i can go for jurong international recruitment briefing and waiting for replies at the same time?
then.... eugene called me and he said i'm ok to take my time but on his side, he cant leave this position open jus like tat... even though its reserved for me? so... we end off the conversation by agreeing that to be fair to both of us, i will take my time to make up my mind while he open up the position to more options... i donno if i am doing the right decision but this is the best i can think so... actually i see potential in this company as i felt tat if i performed well, i can go quite far. on the other hand, if jurong international offered me a pm job, i would have to think twice... cos the office is at jurong east? and i had a direct bus to tiong aik?
fickle-minded.

good? or bad?
the interview on mon with tiong aik was quite ok. but the interview on tues with lta was quite screwed up. not me but lta. i knw stat boards are results orientated. but the way the director posted his qns was quite comical.
D: from ur o lvls, u scored a C6 in eng. LTA requires alot of report writing and will ur eng be an obstacle to ur job?
i almost laughed on the spot lah! come on, i did my o lvls 10 yrs ago and dont tell me i hadnt made any progress throughout these 10 yrs? i felt tat i spoke well during the interview and dont tell me they can judge the quality of my eng or differentiate if my eng is C6 or A1? of cos, i gave them a political right ans. this qns sounds generic to me and i don see how my o lvl eng can have a bearing in this stage of my life. its jus like...... i nv take biology for o lvls and tat doesnt mean i donno how to have sex right. or... my ultimate MOE advertisement joke. LOL
after the LTA interview had ended, i got a missed call n an sms. it was from the guy, eugene from tiong aik. he wanted me to go to the company immediately for the 2nd interview. i was so happy as tat is the moment i thought my wish came true as i applied for the planner position and he said over the phone that he is in need of 1 and i met the requirements. the meeting with him n the gm was ok... we chatted and shared a lot of things and the informal interview was really informal. he offered me a job and said i could start right away... but the bad thing is... i gotta start as a qs to learn the ropes. and the promise is.... i will be given a chance if i performed well? pay wise is confirm less than 2.7k.
but the main thing is the job. a qs will always be a qs? u will always be constantly involved in projs? i cant foresee how am i gonna finish my stuff on hand and then jump over to proj mgmt side. so... if i wanna be a qs, i would rather work at the consultant/client/developer side where life should be easier? this means... LTA.............................. an theres another twist... u will always be a qs? not a slight chance to progress to proj mgmt as they believed in specialization. furthermore, i will be the lowest in there. why? results orientated.
which path will u choose?

went for LTA career talk today and it reinforced the reality that our PFM is not really PFM. we can maybe passed off as FM but not PM. cos u realli need an eng backgrd? even the position of planning eng in LTA requires some form of civil eng degree. i was told that we can only be shortlisted for contract admin or cost control both QS as LTA believes in specialization of ur respective degrees. but i clearly had my doubts given the conflicting expressions and behaviors of the senior mgmt i talked to.
A: u need to have eng backgrd as scheduling requires some technical knowledge from civil eng? u need to do calculations of construction methods?
B: he gave a weird expression when i told him wat A said and look as if "really meh"
C: jus apply. no harm trying.
i wanted to ask A further qns but he quickly diverted his attention to the eng students. if i was selected for the interview, i would have asked him... project scheduling is all abt time management and the sequencing of work activities. we have to identify the CPM, lead time and stuff? if u mention it needs civil eng technical knowledge such as calculation of retaining walls or hoarding boards, isnt it done during the design stage by the QPs or structural engineers? else, wat is the purpose of a tender? this is my burning qns....
well, i already given up hope of being involved in project management jobs and LTA is my backup plan to be... a qs. guess the realistic route to be a PM is thru qs? provided u r one of the very few who made the grade. i think the old degree suits us. cos nobody really knw abt PFM and once we told them we from building, u can see the light bulb above their heads light up. whether this course is good or bad? we shall review in 10 yrs time.

todae... the feeling of work piling up has finally arrived. i got a lot of things to do esp projects. theres things to be done and to be submitted every week. the worse of all... FM. we settled on the scope today and i hope we can get the info we need. else it will be back to square one. FM is seriously the worse module i ever took in nus.
i was quite disappointed with myself today. heard from hf tat alot of pple are selected and turned up for the interview at koh bros today. i was amused by wat i hear. i applied for project management in the planning area type of work and the pple who got the call applied for qs position. at least i can comfort myself tat wat they looking for isnt wat i am looking for right... but.... they are offered jobs other than qs. hf got project engineer and han got sales engineer? it jus seems funni right... they rejected the people they are looking for? i'm not sure how the organization work and function... maybe i am not tat good enough? i'm not jealous though and i am happy that my frens got the jobs they dreamed for?
wanted to clear last fri webcast last night but it was not uploaded yet. one more outstanding work to be done. willing but unabled.
