Hello, haven't blogged in awhile, been slacking at home the past few days. I'm waiting to apply for my job and hopefully if everything goes well my Employment Pass will be approved in january and i can start working.
I'm working as a Research Engineer, the position doesnt reflect the real job though, im supposed to program a piece of software the calculates energy usages of buildings. Every single office building has to comply with energy usage standards and currently i think only 2 exist so the government is pushing NUS to further develop their software so they can say something nice to the public! haha.
People who don't comply with the standards set get a huge fine smacked on their ass.
So thats where i come in. i'm writing it! so if i fail all the companies gonna have a headache :S
I think its a tough job, but there are some plusses to it. The pay i hear is at least $2.5k a month, we may be looking at $3k? im not sure i sure hope so. And on top of that, if i work for them for 2 years, i can write a thesis and get a MASTERS! how good is that. paid to study.
But the down side is that i don't get cpf because i'm not singaporean. A normal singaporean worker has 20% of his/her pay deducted. But their employer will refund 13% to that persons cpf. so basically he is only taxed 7%. IM NOT SINGAPOREAN so i get taxed 20%. that sucks.
If i get my employment pass approved we're looking at me doing NS sometime soon! yes! ns! shit i thought i could escape. oh well, i hope i can stay in singapore. Australia pays well but no amount of money can buy friends/family and chicken rice. I'll update u guys soon!

hey guys!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! in advance!
poor me... my Boyfriend has abandoned me to go clubbing at MOS. haha.
actually it is more like i can't afford to go clubbing. cause i need to study for my exams.
shitty. i thought i was over and done with exams forever.
the Exciting thing is that i will be going on my first flight in Feb! i will be going to Hong Kong(Sianz) and Auckland(yay!). but until then, i got to pass my stage one exams. there is really alot more to being a flight stewardess than the horrible makeup, the uniform and the red new polish.
anyways i was thinking, lets celebrate NEW YEAR together ya? Since almost everyone is in Singapore. Partners are invited as well. You guys can come to my place for dinner/poker/mahjong/drinks/karaoke. I book you guys first. and we can pop the champagne( i will try to get one) I will make sure that everyone is well taken care of- SIA style haha.
okie guys.
MERRY XMAS once again. i am going to hit the books.

hey guys and gals next year is going to be a decade since we know each other... so me n the guys were discussing at brewerks the other day while quenching our thirst on 4l of golden ale..that y not we have a party to mark the occasion.. we can get a room ( similar to that of ben's 21st party mayb abit smaller)that fit everyone of u niggas in.. tian suggested that we can purchase a party peg from brewerks.. which can feed us all the beer our small belly can hold... plus the other 'goodies' in our stash... so in order for that spark to turn into fire .. i hope that each and everyone of you contribute to make this thought become a reality.. instead of relying on others to do all the work and for you to enjoy.. cause that will show nothing of our decade old friendship.. No excuses, it boils down to how much you really want it.. so if you want it "MAKE IT HAPPEN WHoooHAaa"
**too bad Daryl you're also included!!

surprise surprise i was at MOS last night as well.
and yeah there were tons of dickheads around. went to THE CLINIC which was a new club opened by MOS as well. it has a much older crowd inside. And the toilets are so Clinical- haha i guess thats why it is called the clinic- duh right.
Saw some of my batch mates at MOS, and they are really different... in class everyone is so prim and proper. but once they are outside they are a totally different person!it is so tiring to wake up for work at 530am and head down to STC (Singapore airlines training centre) which is at changi. by the time 830pm comes around, my eyelids will be closing. and i still have 3 more months to go man. my first test is coming up. got to start studying... sian... all the country codes and airport names- i am so not looking forward to it.anyways i got free tickets to go party at 6 places at clarke quay. and free drinks as well! because of MTV. cool. but i don't want to see myself on television man. i sounded so fake. cause i had to say what they wanted me to say. i will cringe man if i see myself.

as usual mos was packed with more then enough bananas than oranges, i think the ratio is like 9 : 1. the results of having so much bananas surrounding you while you groove to the beat is the pushing and shoving, unwanted stares and an overdose of egos around. And i cannot stand bananas thinking they can get every orange in the club as and when they please.. saw alot trying to hard to dance next to orange only for the oranges to 'roll' into a more comfortable zone.. assholes!.. but on a brighter note this time around only yy got wasted, ron and his fren got checked out by ladies boy outside the club man.. they were like sitting on the curb hanging when 2 ladies boy went to sit beside them...hahaha... the 'gal' who sat beside ron actually looks super duper hot man... with big eyes, big breast and maybe a bigger d***.. she got an exotic look in her man, so wasted that she's in between..hhaa.. the one who sat beside ron's fren is not as hot but she basically show us like 3/4 of his boobs..and he tease ron's fren until he dare not move..ahahah..the thing is there like 20 ladies boy hanging there man.. n most r quite hot.. n they are all from thailand.. and the best part is when one of the ladies boy saw the police he shouted some thai words and in split secs u can see all of them from no where sprint out of sight.. amazing feat consider they were dress in short tight mini skirts and high heels..Unbelievable.. and this mexican gay like talk to us and ask us where got gay massage parlor... we hang man seriously..then yy told him to go geylang or orchard tower to try his luck..ahhaha.. so many weird pples hanging around the club.. not a very safe place to be in or out. the moral of the story don't try to pick anyone in the club, might have dire consequences.

here is something for all u hangers to ponder about as everybody knows that the the arrow inside of the compass will always point to the north on one side and the south the opposite end. let say if you were to follow the direction of the north arrow and walk, where you think you'll end up at???.. lets assume that it eventually lead you to the north pole right, where will the compass point to now since you've already reached the northern end of the globe???

Xiaoling i thought i saw u in town, there was a girl that looked exactly like you, anyway u are indo at heart!
I got my results already, was expecting better, but i guess i got to settle for not so good results since it should be proportional with my effort. Anyhoo, i am now a graduate of University of Melbourne! with
honors!!!!
