results out tdy.. yeah, was working.. so zh helped me checked.. Must thank u for tt =). btw, wasn't happy with my results.. much lousier than last sem.. n smint, my mkting oso C, u not the only 1..

Thanks don for the timetable =). Realli saved us some trouble.. must start planning for next sem liao.. sianz..

Tdy at work tok to Han, our supervisor. He was telling us all the office politics, or rather factory politics. he commented tt we are too weak, naive, a flower in a green hse etc.. which come to tink of it, is quite true. his father died early, he had to start wrk at juz 12. his wrk rate is phenomenal and rather disgusting. he worked 130hrs per week of OT. yeah, he told us he was tired, n tot "how many more years can i continue like this?" but can he stop? no. the pace and harsh reality forbids him. he keeps warning us, do not be soft to ppl, the world is man eat man. grab chances when they present themselves. n so on.. i've heard this kind of stuff quite a no. of times, but it doesn't really sink as much into my head as tdy.

On my bus journey back, makes me ponder, "wat hv i done in the past 21 yrs of my life???" Absolutely nutting tt i can tot of. Wat do i wan? Wat am i aiming for? Is it realli juz getting a degree, find a job, earn $ etc? quite confused. ambitious? contented? time for some serious tot and soul searching. walk your path, find a guiding n don look back.

Temper is abit hot nowadays. shud be b/c of the work. tdy really getting on my nerves. For the past 5 days, i've been practically doing nutting or doing the most simple and monotonous job. My frens say i shiok, cao geng, gd etc all sorts of comments and nonsense, say do nutting earn $ shiok. i juz simply dun agree. take eg for tdy. dunno wtf tong(supervisor) asked me to follow him to changi to do some on-site touch up. Starting was fine, i tot finalli i can breathe some fresh air at some other factory. no lor, in the end, became super extra there, dun even noe wat the hell i was doing there in the 1st place cos i wasn't needed there. In the end, i spent around 7-8 hrs doing nutting, yes nutting at all in the factory. walked at least 50 rounds round the factory, went the toilet at least 20times, visited the canteen at least 10 times, alt i only bought fd for only 2 times. And yes, i was earning OT after 6, but i wasn't happy at all. In fact, i was damn pissed. i nv felt so frustrated and dulan for such a long time until tdy. experienced it all. i muz hv cursed and swear all the words and vulgarities i could hv tot of.

So, i'm doing absolutely nutting there and the worst ting is i can't do anyting abt it except doing nutting. i dun wan to earn this kind of $. If doing nutting, i might as well slp at hm, surf the net. It doesn't help when i was the only 1 out there, while the rest of my friends stayed in the factory. Yes, loneliness. no one to tok to. no wrk to do. cannot go home. cannot eat dinner. it all sums up to the magical 4 letter word f***.

phew! felt much betta after typing out all these. hope i can stay in the factory n do some serious work. i rather get dirty and smelly than rot in the air con factory and listen to the sissy voice.

On a lighter note, at least i learnt how to drive a van and ate the best curry puff in sg in their canteen tdy. moro is a betta day i wish

K.. some update on myself. feel quite detached frm the world recently. haha.. nv had this feeling ever since i came out of the army. working frm 830 to 6 or 7pm daily... seriously, haven got this feeling of tiredness for long time, when the moment ur head hits the pillow, totalli knocked out until the next day the alarm clock rings.

Been taking public transport evryday. but very xiong. calculated 1 week 20 bucks, muz get bus stamp liao. but i tink shud be getting frm 1st of june to 1st of july since working until then. meanwhile. waiting for bus is getting on my nerves, esp today. tts it, i'm driving moro to wrk.

From the start, i tot it was quite fun. i tot, yeah. getting more n more xiong by the day. this company is full of slackers. wayang when boss is around. drink tea at coffee shop when he isn't. Temp workers like me suffer the most. kena the most arrows. wat to do?

evryday suffers a new injury. May be cuts, may be bruises. knocked twice on the window ledge when i stood up already. multiple cuts on fingers which by now is already normal. tts occupational hazard isn't it? My friend poured 1 litre of isopropanol on himself, n tt liquid costs 2k. haha.. kena f left right centre by the supervisor. Looking on the bright side, i did indeed learn lots of new things tt accountancy can nv offer. Evryting we are using in evryday life, which we take them for granted already, is built by the blood and sweat of the engineers. no wonder they are so highly paid. saturday and sunday oso going to work, cos saturday pay is 1.5x and sunday is 2x. haha.. muz fulli utlise the opportunity to earn some xtra bucks. dunno if i can sustain till the end of june? try my best lah ah..

Gonna get myself a pair of new specs with the $ heh. xm, u got lobang ah? haha.. and plus maybe a new mp3player. the new creative mp3 player simply stunningly beautiful cool. looks like a credit card n can easily slot into ur wallet. my existing mp3player can gif my sister =).

Ok, tts all for now. smint, so my life exciting? haha.. din tink i luff for the past few days hahaha.. envy u ppl, going zoo, botanical gardens etc. i'll be spending time with the machines and getting myself dirty. real dirty and smelly.

Today was my 1st day at the factory work. Wah, 1st day and i'm alrady so tired... bascialli i'm doing engineering job haha.. assembling machines.. alamak.. i tot was goint to repair machines.. anyway had to wear an obiang t-shirt.. sianz.. i tink the days ahead of me is going to be real tired..

To Zh:
haha.. i tot ur msn nick going to be wat... all abt comparison again.. Let me try to analyse it in the most objective way i can...
1st n 4most.. abt henry not winning champions league.. yeah.. he deserves tt honour.. BUT.. that is the only trophy tt he is missing in his career right now.. premiership, fa cup, world cup, european cup.. no one in man u right now has won the last 2 trophies i mentioned.. including david may of course..

Next, on the unbeaten season. i bet u also read the football 365 mailbox liao rite.. arsenal fans will say bergkamp missed a penalty in the final minute in fa cup, 2 goals in injury time against bayern.. man u fans will say ruud missed a penalty in the final minute blah blah..
Let's gif credit where's due. No doubt luck is involved in both. And deep down inside, going unbeaten for the whole season is an unique achievement, and the more amazing is winning it with style, passion, tenacity and teamwork makes it more precious. How abt this statistic:
In 38 games, arsenal only trailed in 8 of them. Jst 7 has taken the lead against them. In 3420 premiership minutes played, arsenal led in 1587, 48%. they were only behind for only 168 minutes and nv in the last 15min of the game. Not to mention the financial muscle of both man u and chelsea..

Man U:Unbeaten in 13 CL qualifiers, and fa cup. lst 3 times in the league. highest premiership pts tally and most goals scored. Tt was the golden era and peak. Indeed impressive. and even as a rival supporter i enjoyed watching man u played with the swagger, high tempo, world-class crosses frm both flanks etc.

The bottomline: Arsenal is on the rise. Man U is falling behind. maybe its too early to say, but tts for now at least and the season's performance. i tink bolton played betta football than man u and Indra sahdan deserved at least substitute appearances more than forlan. Ferguson's seemed to be running out of ideas and becoming more n more like Houlieer. The football tt i loved to watch man u played so much in the past few seasons is long gone.

Let the next season be the judge. Of course i hope arsenal can win the premiership and hopefully the champs league, but i oso wish to see man u can play some proper football and stick to the tried and trusted 442 formation tt makes them such an awesome and magnificient team of 99.
No offence to u or other man u fans lah heh.. just my piece of tot =). heh.. wish to see ur tots on this issue oso haha..
