I will be conferred my degree on the 11th July at University cultural center at 10am.Do come support me if you can!
Went to Myrna's one today and she took quite a number of photos. After that we went for dim sum lunch, a treat by her parents.
I was pondering about commencement and realised there are mixed feelings from differetn people.
Most are feeling as per normal, kinda feel it is nothing special and not that life changing. I believe they feel that degree holders are everywhere and there are much more exciting milestones ahead. Or they simply don't see the thrill in it.
Some , on the other hand, feels damn excited. Like it is a very very important thing in their life. They cannot understand why the first group of people can even have the idea of forgoing the ceremony. To them, they have work hard and earn their way there. This ceremony is to reward and formally declare they have been there and done it.
The remaining ones, are the in between. We believe in the importance of going thru the motion and try to make the best out of it. We don think it is a waste of time to go yet we aren't that excited about it. Most of us sees it as a chance to make our parents feel proud. And that makes up the main motivation behind it.
Personally I am the 3rd group of people. I don see having a degree as "been there and done that". With all due respect, degree is not easy to get. I just see it as a phase of life. In the different phases, there are goals we want to achieve and the commencement is just an event to tell me i have met my goals for this phase and only this phase. I hope my parents will feel proud of me.
God really made me so effective during my uni life! With the various camp i organised, CCA i joined, the church committments I had, yet I did relatively ok. I see this as a training process and I believe that the best has yet to come!
Deeper in love!

Overslept
I feel so tired!
Maybe because of the depleted sleeping hours, I feel pretty tired for the last 2 weeks. I feel pretty lethargic. Just don't feel like doing anything but to sleep. After my ICT, I came home and fell asleep. I am so tired I jus KO in front of my comp and went to bed without me knowing! I don't really know I can go for AR Bernard meeting. I woke up with so many sms and missed call!! My knee is hurting still, and I feel pretty tired. Is it the sign of age?
Wasted my time today, basically went back and slack around. Had a 2 hr breakfast and 2.5 hr lunch. Hopefully tml can end early.
Anyway blogger is having problems again. I can't upload pictures! that makes this blog handicapped!! Anyone know how to fix this? if not, I am starting a new blog. Apt also for my new phase of life.

Transformers 2
Just watched the highly anticipated movie - Transformer 2. I must say this is much better than the first one. In my opinion, the first one focus more on the theme, that is transforming cars and planes, kinda give u the "can't-wait-to-see-what-is-transforming-next" feeling. The second one focus more on the fighting, transforming(which is slower and better and easier to appreciate) but halfway thru the show, it gives me a "ooo, ooo,yayaya,ooo.ok" feeling. In short, good movie because of the CGI and action.ok, megan fox too. But that is pretty much it.
On my way home, I was pondering what makes a great movie. I think the climax of the movie is what is most impt. Most show try to show it at the end, take 300 for example. The ending climax of the king trying to kill the enemy and failed makes the movie extraordinary. Some movies are so good that it can move the climax to the middle and keep the show nice towards the end, like coach carter. I think this is where transformer, in my opinion, has failed. But still, i think the theme is pretty hard to work around with. To be fair, I will give it 3/5 stars. Good show, but not great.
Work is pretty ok. Learning the trade and tricks of doing business. Hope i can pick things fast and get along with the path my manager wants me to go.
Knee is giving me problem.Perhaps i can't run too long. but 5km is pretty ok i think. Perhaps it is time for a downgrade.

Heal the World
Heal The World - Michael Jackson
One of the favourites by him. A personal loss.
Work is improving. My department manager spoke to me again. I think he is inputting a vision in me and wanting me to rise up fast. I think partially the whole department are all so old! All of them are minimum in their fifties, only me and another guy are less than half their age. Slowly starting to know the people, contractor, owners.
Spoke to a fellow mate today, we were talking about ou career and i agreed with what he said about marine line.
"In the world, what is bigger than the sky? The sea! Unless one day you tell me airplane can carry as many containers and are cheaper than sea travel, then i will quit the marine line."
I guess personally i quite like what i do now(other than the zero contribution feeling and long learning period),it is really God's grace. Think about it, the 20k, a job while others are still hunting for an interview and something i wanna do at a place so near to my house! A few months ago, everything was still so unsure but now it turn out so well!
Anyway I haven't watch transformer...should be tml if not next week ba..watching with darling!!

Shopping
This week i burnt a hole in my pocket. Bought 3 top and 2 pants from G2000. Should have gone to the sales counter to buy. Initially wanted to tailor pants but somehow the shops are always closed when i go. Went to domanchi..Realised that tapered design are not suitable for me. I don like the "squeeze" in between my leg. So Far G2000 cut is just right for me...not too tight and not overly loose. I think this shall put a stop my shopping spree. I think it is a good investment as i need to wear them everyday, at least on weekday wherelse weekend is optional(but they still wear).
Saving plan to kick in during my first pay check. Will have a standard system to ensure I save every month.
Oh how I Love you Lord....Deeper in love with You..

M.J.
In my life, there is 2 M.J. that influence me when i was young. One of them is Michael Jordan and the other is Michael Jackson. Sadly, Michael Jackson passed away this morning.
According to Wikipedia,
" On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles. Attempts at resuscitating him by his personal physician were unsuccessful. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics received a 911 call at 12:21 pm (PDT),and arrived nine minutes later at Jackson's location. He was reportedly not breathing and CPR was performed.Resuscitation efforts continued both en route to the UCLA Medical Center, and for an hour further after arriving at approximately 1:14 pm (20:14 UTC).He was noted to have already been in cardiac arrest by the paramedics who attended his house. Jackson was pronounced dead at about 2:26 pm local time (21:26 UTC). The cause of death has not been determined.
In the hours following Jackson's death, his record sales increased dramatically. His seminal album Thriller climbed to number one on the American iTunes music chart, while another eight have made it into the top 40. In the UK, where Jackson would have performed less than three weeks after his death, his albums occupied 14 of the top 20 places on the Amazon.co.uk sales chart with Off The Wall topping the chart. In the UK iTunes store on June 26th, 25 of Jackson's songs were in the Top 100 best selling songs list.
There have been reports of foul play by Michael's doctor who reportedly gave a overdose of Demerol. LA police want to speak to the doctor who is missing. Rumors are appearing that his car was towed away. "
I was stunned this morning when I heard the news. He played an important role in molding many people's concept of POP and dance. Ways you might not have even imagined.
Simply the best POP Star.
" One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era and the sale of 750 million records worldwide.Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades."

Work
A quick note before i head to bed.
Work is really sian. I need roughly 5 years to be good at my job. Maybe 1 to 2 years to work some little assistance. My office ppl are always OTing...seems like they have something to fight for. I guess i shall take one step at a time.
Anyway, I began to treasure more time with darling. Don want to be too pre-occupied with work.
Time to head to bed. TGIF.
