Went to kbox for klunch after the talk by henderson global about their global and european reits.
was pretty much swayed as an investro to invest in their european reits.
their investment rationale made sense to me and i can understand their investment approaches.
both funds are available for CPF-OA and cash investments.
anyway... so went to kbox at suntec after the talk.
5 of us went first and we were joined by another 4 colleagues.
found out 4 things today:
1) one of my colleague sounds quite like stefanie sun when she sings.
2) another colleague can sing chinese songs tho she is quite kantang like me... except maybe i am still more cheena than her.
3) one of my managers can sing quite well.
4) the microwaved lunch offered cannot make it.
2 of us who went were my managers.
things seem a little better at work now... communicating more with my fellow BFCers.
have lots more to learn from everyone.

quite a good workout i must say... hope i can become leaner...
den mayb hopefully can get back my 4-pack... i not so ambitious aim for 6-pack.
4 is good enough. for those who never knew, i used to have a 4-pack back in sec sch...
it's the airforce... the life there is too good... eat good food, exercise once a year.
how not to become prosperous?
anyway... felt really good after the swim.. hope to b able to exercise more often...

think only in sg will u find ppl getting paid to keep fit... hehe...
was in the office in the afternoon and reviewing my insurance policies. planning tp upgrade my insurance coverage.. but need to earn $$ first... no $$, no increased coverage.

Happy 2nd Birthday VC !!
VC is 2 today...
actually, we don't know for sure the exact birthday... but it's ard dis time...
haha... think we'll juz make the 4th sunday of sept vc's anniversary mass day.
mass went on quite good... well done choir! same for the readers, ivan and charmaine. many thanx to the ppl who had to spend time and effort preparing for dis day. marianne, for organising the mass, kat for doing the ppt, cheryl/john/tmg for getting the choir together and practicing and practicing and practicing...
after mass, most of the peeps went off for lunch/brunch, etc... except for the confi class and YA ppl...
confi class was on as usual. jarrod and i helped kat and the other facils with a taize session. glad it all went well... from my impromptu survey, we've got ppl who wana come back to help out in confi class next year.
this is only proof dat the class has been effective in educating and making an impact in the confirmands' lives.
kudos to the benedict and the rest of the facils for their hard work. the YA peeps, on the other hand, were having a meeting regarding their training camp at the end of the year.
went to clementi central for lunch w the Ya ppl... the aunty at the S11 was like super biatch la...
coz fel bought bubble tea from the stall near mac's and brought over to the coffeeshop. den dis aunty from the drinks stall was like all bitchy and like," you cannot drink outside drink here... how can u all ike dat, i oopen table for u all, den u all do this. got sign say cannot bring outside drink.. blah blah... she was like damn guai lan la... i'm sure she could have said it nicely. den she brought us some plastic bags to keep the drinks in so dat other patrons cant see them and think dat they can buy their own drinks from elsewhere. i was acutally planning to buy a drink from the coffeeshop but after dat v unpleasant reminder from the aunty, i decided against it. so went to buy bubble tea on our wayto the taxi stand.
came home and stayed home... it' a quiet sunday afternoon... feeling somewhat drained from wat's going on in church and all. after our meeting w fr richards, we have concluded dat things are not gona change for now... until further notice but dat doesn't mean we can all go back to our old ways and take things for granted. seems like we have lots to do to make sure we dun cross the line and sabo ourselves. it's gona b a real challenge having fr richards as parish priests. it's not really a bad thing i guess... fr richards coming over to holy cross and seemingly turning everyone's lives upside down. think it'll make all of us more alert and aware as to what we're doing and really show who are the ppl who really love VC and who are those who are in VC for the sake of being in the group.
guess the 7 of us dun have exactly much time left in vc. i hope everyone can rise to the occasion and perform their own little miracles... looking at myself, i hope i can perform my own little miracle and making a blast of my new career... this 4 week wait is kinda draining me also... no doubt i'm learning new stuff everyday, but as the days pass, i feel somewhat helpless coz i cant do a thing until i get my licence. my manager has told me to go practice my presentations w my other colleauges... but it's an entirel different thing practicing w a colleague and really meeting up with someone... at least this is how i feel. but i guess i could try doing dat.
the organisation is really great. i'm glad i made the right choice in joining them... their training is indeed the kind dat i'll probably need... tom marks another new week. i hope things will be better... guess it's times like these dat i wish tmg and i are still together... coz i know when i'm with her, my troubles are the last things on my mind and i know no matter wat, i have someone who'll be there to comfort me and cheer me on. not dat my frens cant do it... but i guess it's a different thing altogether when the person doing the cheering up and cheering on is ur loved one. it really makes a difference...
oh well... i shdn't be dwelling on it so much, coz
a) we're not gona get back together so thinking abt it will only make my life even worse than it already is.
b) it's MOVE ON... not move back...
seems like i'm sailing in the perfect storm... think never in my life have i faced so many changes and troubles at a go. i doubt things can get any worse liao... but den again... there's murphy's law.
if u duno what murphy's law is, ask me and i'll let u know.

Movies Under the Stars
Shortly after the prev post, left the house to meet tmg to go watch initial d (for the second time) at the padang for the starlight cinema organised by nokia. here's the re-entry chop if u had to go use the port-a-loos outside.
tmg came over to pick me up after her work. went to her place for her to change out of her work clothes and off we went to meet her fren who had the tix for the show and den off to te padang. went to the 7-11 at peninsula to buy some food for the show. and this is wat we have on today's menu:
looks quite yummy rite? hahaha...
was quite bored while waiting for the show to start. so tot i take a few fotos here and there...
before the show...
the nite sky behind the screen...
the old supreme where justice is served next door...
tmg serving herself yummilicious maggi mashed potato...
thanks to my bro for providing us w his hammock so dat we've got something to sit on...
without which, we'll be sitting on damp grass.
the only thing i could do with while watching the show was something for me to lie against...
was quite tiring propping myelf up with my hands.
came home after the show... gota wake up early tom morning again...
tihnk i'm slowly getting used to waking up so early liao...
think i'll juz need a little bit more time.
i wana start work liao... i wana meet ppl... i wana help ppl understand their finances.
the company's top producer is giving a talk to us newbies tom morning... i hope i'll learn lotsa good tips from him.
alrite... gota go now... will tell u abt the dinner eug n i cooked a few days ago...
if i dun post abt it soon, remind me ok? ;)

Can Life Get Any Worse?
Went down to stansfield juz now to check on my results...
found out i'm currently under investigation for suspected plagarism.
how sucky can dat be?
when i DID copy work in my 1st and 2nd year, nothing happens.
and when i DO do my own work in my 3rd year, i get investigated.
where's the logic in this?
called the university and they told me that can't disclose which module is under investigation.
but been told it'll prob take abt 4 weeks to investigate, and send a letter to me, informing me of the results of the investigations and the actions taken, if any.
this sucks la... it's not as if it's bad enough waiting for MAS to approve my licence so dat i can start work.
now DIS has to happen.
BURN! GOLDSMITH COLLEGE! BURN!
went to catch the longest yeard at PS after checking my 'results' to like hopefully cheer myself up.
movie was funny... but it din help. reality sunk back in after the movie... but it was a good 2hr respite.
i can only slowly wait for another 3-4 weeks to know wat's gona happen to me. y is my life at the moment all abt waiting?
waiting to get licence.
waiting to know if i graduate or get charged.
waiting for time to help me get over the closed chapter of my life.
wait... wait... wait...
is god like trying to teach me patience?
but dis is like damn extreme la... think god wants me to learn extreme patience...
maybe humility as well...
dear god, if this is your will, grant me the strength.
