Hello. Dinner 8pm, Sunday, Cafe Del Mar Sentosa. Dress code = formal (i think).
Before that maybe we could go shangrila for coffee for fun.

Anyways. mum was talking in the car today, i have an uncle who graduated from Melbourne Uni at the age of 14 with his first degree. YES 14. He got his PHD at 20!! He is a physicist that works personally with Stephen Hawkings. Though i dunno his full name i will find out! How come i'm not so smart hur hur.

Anyways, i THINK my semester might start on April 17th. Doing my MBA at Latrobe University. The MBA is rated 5 stars in the good uni australian ranking, and top 200 in the world. obviously its rubbish compared to Melb uni but hey, DONT NEED WORKING experience to do! awesome stuff. 1.5 years course. i plan to drop out after 6 months, after i get my PR and start working, then transfer to the Melbourne Uni one eventually when i have enough working experience. Not too bad a plan.

Once i get my PR i'm going TO GET MY DOG. Damnit i keep saying i am going to get a dog but i'm always so unsettled. I WANT MY DOG!!

My friend working is working full time at a supermarket in melbourne while waiting for his PR. He said i can apply to work there too. They are paying around $20 to $25 and hour. quite good right, can make a decent living. I will probably try to get it so i dont have to live of mums money. so bad. so old still eating parents money.

Anyways, these nxt 2 weeks are going to be sad days, i'll be migrating to Australia, get my PR, and maybe live there for a very long time. I do hope you guys come down and take a break from this fast and often life draining island. Accomodation is always free, and love is in abundance. (To Jennifer, Hilton Melbourne SUXXX my house better!) . May the future bring us all back on the same path again. Till then, peace out.

Employment pass rejected.
Anyways, i'll probably reschedule the dinner to saturday, around 730 so more people can make it, and its more convenient.

Hello again friends, another update to my complicated situation.

Mum suggested that i go back to Melb Uni and do a postgraduate course. Yea thats right, i'm going to be a Master of the sea. Lame.

Ok anyway, the plan is that while applying for PR i can do something useful like get my masters, then after that work. when i start work, desmond(my brother) will finish NS and head down to study, then we will sell the house here and live there for awhile.

The plan will probably deviate but hey, no harm planning still

Hi guys, just an update on my situation. I had my application to extend my stay in singapore rejected, so its safe to say that on those grounds, my employement pass would be rejected too. So I've probably got to leave by saturday, going to stay at my uncles place, he said his house was nice though i dont believe him. haha. i havent seen it. oh well

hey... what happened to you guys? seem to have a relatively quiet blog now!

anyway, i went for the harbour bridge walk... 75th year since the bridge has been built so it's something like a celebration in sydney... it has quite alota history in it cause it was built in a time of depression, post war, independence, political turmoil etc etc...

but to put it simply, they just closed it up for just today so we can walk across it and enjoy this fantastic sydney landmark and it's sights and sounds! aerial displays throughtout the day, free entertainment, loads of activities etc etc... absoultely wonderful...

well, i've gotta say, it's somewhat impressive walking across the bridge, and the amount of people! i heard around a million people walked across it just today! but the thing is, it sorta made me feel kinda aussie... like... i've been practically here almost all the time in my studies! experiencing the 4 seasons, for 4 straight years, spending more then 90% of the year here (legally, my domicile is australia, unlike alot of students who cannot legally state that)... i'm anyway, i'm starting to get kinda fond of this place! a quality of life unmatched anywhere! really!

Does it look good or what!!!

I didnt go to work today, was tired of the same tasks i do everyday. So i decided to stay home, sleep to 1, take a day off to relax. Got BORED. So i made a model of my house! its not complete but hmmm 1/2 way there

HDB Block in 3D! ok i must admit its abit hard to visualise

yay i have finally graduated from Singapore Airlines Training Centre.
the 3 and a half months was quite crappy man.
there were fun times as well, but mostly very boring times.
anyways from here on, i am going to fly solo, doing flights on my own- a little afraid.
but i am quite excited to be seeing the world- i hope.

why do i say "i hope"?
Because most of the time i am super tired to even go out.
i think the only things i see are the airport and disgusting hotels.
the hilton in perth is quite shitty.
what i am really really excited about is the money $$$$-haha.

so now i am on one week's leave.
after that i think you won't see me around most of the time.
so lets meet up, while i still can.

P.S anyways ben i will be flying to brisbane on the 20th of april(FRI) and leaving on the 22th of april (SUN), so will you be free then to meet up? you better man!

and tian i will be flying to sdyney on the 5th april (THU) and leaving on 6th april (FRI) which is practically the next day. so we might not be able to meet up afterall. we see la.

Hello friends. Hope everyone is doing fine with sch/work.
Been pretty tied up with work the past 2 weeks, had stuff to clear. Another week gone, another week of free labour gone, another week closer to my super slow Employment Pass verdict. I had my presentation with the CEOs today. They're not as scary as i thought they would be. They seem pretty down to earth and were quite chatty. The presentation went so smoothly we only took 1 hour though it was supposed to be 3 hours. I like the recognition i get from my job but i dont particulary like my job. Then again who doesnt like compliments. heh. The professor and i are the only people working on ways to design residential buildings/houses to reduce electricity consumption. The CEOs call it "World leading ground breaking research" i call it wawaweewa more compliments please. ok enough.

Anyways, i went down to the IT show. If you dont want anything to buy. DON't Go. Let me explain why. when you take MRT from city hall, to get to suntec you need to go through city link. The queue was from the exit door up the escalator in city link, over the overhead bridge linking to suntec, and into suntec. Better drive. Its pretty packed inside too. Rude, uneducated, oily sticky smelly kanchiong people will delight all senses. Didnt see anything special.

I've got to leave Singapore by 25th March if i dont get my employment pass and cant enter the country probably for a month or two. Will probably head back to aussie to get my PR. Lets hope it doesnt have to end like that.

Anyways, have a nice weekend, see those of you going for tharins thing tmr.

its kinda sad that i havent blogged anything interesting thats been happening cuz nothing much has happened. which might not necessarily be a bad thing.

look at andreas' country; it really is a messed up place.
and this year hasn't been very lenient on the people; when bad things happen, they come one after another. not very good. they have so much bad stuff going on for them that they probably wish their lives were as mundane as mine and yours (if you think yours is just as boring).

anyway, to give a lil update on yufan's work life since he hardly ever blogs:
he's been training and learning about the workings of a bank and trying very hard not to doze off in class.
they have english lessons and role-plays in class.
he looks forward to lunch time and tea breaks.
his classmates think he's a goody-two-shoes cuz he's never gone clubbing in jakarta so they plan to get him drunk tomorrow night.
he has a colleague who adheres to the teachings of confuscious;
that is, confuscianism is actually her religion.
another colleague is a hardcore sms-er.
his class is full of colourful people.
by the end of april (i think) he'll be posted out of jakarta, hopefully to bali cuz he wants to go there and i have straight flights there too (so i dont have to fear for my life on board indonesia's airlines).
so then we can all go to bali and have free accomodation!!

Hey guys, anyone interesting in working fri/sat/sun nxt weekend, $50 for 8 hrs. promotions. let me know if interested i'll give ya more details. thx

hello hello. i have the tickets to tharins commissioning, 5 tickets, and 1 carpark paper. he says they dont check so everyone should be able to make it. Not sure what time it is he hasnt told me or i forgot.

Anyways jen u were right! the line has nice food. they renovated the place since i last went, shiok! I've been working on doing up my room this week, check out my new desk!

2 monitors combo into 1! never can complain about not having enough space on my desktop anymore hohohoho
