Training

I am intending to join my company's soccer training session on every Wednesday.
Hopefully, I get to improve my skills and fitness.
Most importantly is to have more time doing some exercises and sweating out.

I can't wait till next wednesday... and I got to get a new pair of soccer boots ^_ ^;
It was splited up at the tip of the boots and became "duck-mouth" shape after the match with the ang mo(s).

GO go GO!~

My tutor's visit

Yesterday, my tutor came to the Power Station to see me and my supervisor.
It was part of the Industrial Attachment Programme that the tutor would come and visit/assess the student at the company every 1 and half months time.

My tutor,Dr. Tan, was a courteous man, speaks with a soft, gentle voice, standing slightly above my shoulder height.

He came up to our office, and at our manager's office, he distributed the accessment forms to me and my supervisor. Next, he told both of us to fill it up, informed my supervisor that the assessment was on me, and should not be made known to me. My supervisor smiled and said that he would return it after the tea break.

As for me, I noticed the instructions on the form stating : FOR TUTOR ONLY.
And there, he insisted that I should be filling it up...
So under each assessment statement, there is the survey grading type of answers: poor, good, very good, excellent etc.
I thought to myself, "eh... surely, if I had to fill this form up, I would tick all excellent, lol"
Then, I decided to inform my tutor that the form was not for me to fill up.

True enough, it was a mistake by my tutor, he claimed that the forms were newly made for this year's attachment. And in the past, the students had a form to fill up themselves.

Before the tea break, my professor and supervisor were doing the talking. They were discussing over the reasoning why my tutor's project was rejected by my supervisor.
My supervisor, being a very good talker or debater, stood his ground and explained why my tutor's suggestion was not feasible for the corporation to assist the student(me).
Mainly, the reason was that his suggestion was more research orientated, and our company is not very interested at spending time and sparing equipments for researching and experimentation.

During the tea break, we sat down at the canteen. At there, my tutor began to speak to me. I talked about my initial interest as a comic drawer. He responded to me by saying that I should have gone all the way to nurture my interest, and that way, my job and interest would be together, which makes things more interesting for me in future.

It is true that it makes a whole lot of different if my job is my interest. However, it isn't quite "realisable" in Singapore. And for some other reasons, I decided to make a living maybe as an power engineer.

So after our conversation, I brought him around the station. He asked and I answered along the way. After that, he requested to have a view of his apartment in Malaysia from the sea side at the station! I brought him to the top floor of our administrating building for it. And there, he was satisfied after being able to spot his apartment location from the station... ~. ~

We got back to the manager office, there I showed my log book, and the project that my supervisor had told me to work at. He was impressed that the amount of stuffs I had learnt during the past 1 and the half months here. And also the project my supervisor was talking about, was acknowledged by him. I was glad that he told me to carry on with it. ^___^

Eh, but he mentioned his son at Primary 4 learning to use Flash for some animation (wow) so now my supervisor was always telling me this, " so... you are using P4 work to bluff me" LOL
^__^V (whatever, don't care at all)

Need to learn more, and more to learn still,
zhaoru.

6to14: Ah ha! Thought you know me well but doesn't seem to be the case. No prob, wait for the next quiz to come. Hee~

Different culture

Actually, I should be doing my mini project for my Industrial Attachment. However, I forgot to take my diskettes back home after dropping them into my helmet and locked up my locker.
So, I guess I'm free now to take a bit of time here writing my b-log. (^___^V)

Well, I had a game of soccer last evening. It was a match against a team of "ang mo"s. YEP!
During the game, they had chances, good or bad tries, they would encourage each other by saying, " WELL DONE NICK! WELL DONE PETER! WELL DONE... THAT's THE WAY TO GO!"

As for our side which is pure chinese, our kind of encouragement didn't really sound like encouragement to us, it goes like this," WAH LAN EH! WHERE THE F*** IS THE DEFENCE! RUN LEH! MIDFIELDERS NEH!? KNN LAR!"

(Ok, I won't bother to explain what those abbreviations mean, you got to get someone experience to tell you.)

AND yes, first time in my life that I'm not playing soccer at all, because our team played a silly "long ball tactic". I would state out the points why I felt I was not involved in the game at all.
1) I was a midfielder, right-centered, in a 4-5-1 formation.
2) As soon as the game began, my right back and right wing disappeared to the front AT ALL TIMES.
3) I was supposed to cover 3 men's ground which was impossible.
4) I was shouted at to aid in attacking, in a long ball tactic game, pure long-ball tactic game. So I ran up-front and found the ball soaring backwards towards our goal (countered-attack) , ran back to cover 3 men's ground.
5) Our team never did string up 3 or more passes to each other.
6) Our defenders were all sweepers, cleared the ball at any situations, the worse was that they couldn't even clear properly.

Despite all of that in the game, another point worth talking about was the ang mo's friendly spirit. They apologised almost immediately after commiting a foul.
In contrast, our people seems like going out for a fight after commiting a foul ~___~

Well, I really felt some sort of shamefulness. We should have think of a way to play better, and not picking up petty quarrels.

Whatever, I think most probably my friend and I are not going to help playing for this team anymore, if there isn't going to be any improvment at passing and reading of the game.

"Well done, Peng, you showed them you are the best!"
zhaoru.

River of Love

Have you this feeling of liking someone, yet the party didn't acknowledge it?
Yes, I'm talking about one sided affection being shown.

Sometimes, you would just wish to muster enough courage to confess it out to the one you like.
However, usually we didn't.
She/He might just be around you, but you might just pretend that you didn't really cared.
She/He might be far away from you, but you had always miss him/her and wish to turn up beside him/her just to keep him/her company.

Sometimes, it is sad to have heard certain remarks given. Some may be hints for you to give up.
Had you given yourself ample time to consider before moving on to pursue a lady/man just for the sake of romance, or to make her the partner of your lifetime?

I'm not one who gives up easily. However, I would be keen to find out more about the person, her thoughts, ideals, dreams, goals , feelings, care, filial piety and her good and bad points.
Same things others would like to find out on me.

Personally, I just don't like someone who don't know what she wants, or pretending to know what she wants. In other words, I don't like indecisive people when it comes to dealing of relationship.

Hope those who are in love will be blessed forever.
Those not will meet their true love soon.
As for me, I had fallen into the river of love.
I'm not drowning, and I'm also not waiting to be rescued.
zhaoru.

I'm a bit angry...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First to begin with, I would like to tell kimmy, to stop what she is guessing because I'm tired to clarify all these stuffs (call me lazy). People can talk behind my back all they want, if they are not someone I cared about (whom I treated as a friend to me) , I wouldn't even be bothered with them. Simply, I would think they are pathetic.

So, Kimmy, before I get more agitated, I would like it to end here, when you read this. Thank you.

So paiseh

Today, at my work place, I was invited to another section. It was an uncle (Sai) whom I had known while I was rotated to his section. So I went and found out they were having some sort of a feast in the office!

There was a lot of wines, potato chips, peanuts, roasted chicken and pineapple tarts etc.
Another colleague I met, Wong, brought me to the fridge and told me to get a drink- only thing is that, there wasn't much choice since the whole fridge is filled up with tiger beers.

I refused at first, but then I decided to join them for the occassion. I took a can.
then Sai poured wine and insisted to have me tried some of them. I decided to gave it a try despite having a sore throat.

I realised that the wine can be drunk soothingly down my throat. So I went on trying for another 3 or 4 flavours.
When I stood up to get some pineapple tarts I realised that the effect of alcohol was on me already! My head felt hot and my face turning red (I guessed).
I consciously stopped myself from having more, hoping that some food may get rid of that giddiness effect because I haven't had any meal in the morning.

Then later when I went up to my office, all the people noticed my red face ~____~

tiredness

Here's something funny today:

Early morning, while I boarded my bus to woodland interchange, I sat beside a JC gal.
She was very tired and doze off along the way. Eventually, her head rested on my shoulder.
Well, I just tried my very best to remain as still as possible so not to disturb her rest.
But since the bus ride was bumpy, she woke up but eventually fell off and rest her head on my shoulder again.

I guessed she was very tired indeed in an early monday morning.

Then in the evening while I was travelling back from woodland. A young guy who sat beside me dozed off. And his head too eventually rested on my shoulder too. LOL
Well, ehrmm, I understand that he was tired, so I didn't really shook him off.
Instead while he woke up during the bumpy ride, I tried to adjust my shoulder to be in a position against his shoulder, thus I can support indirectly his head from falling upon my shoulder hehe.

Well, it worked quite well. I was showing some kind of "discrimination" I guessed (^__^)

All people are tired,
zhaoru.

Holy!~~~

Great just when I thought I had recovered from all the illness, I had sore throat again!
I think I would keep the complains to my doctor...

*cough*

really sick and head is spinning,
zhaoru.

PS: HELP! S.O.S!!!

My mini project

My supervisor gave me a mini project on electric circuit diagrams.
I'm supposed to back-track from the implemented circuit of a motor to its logic flow chart.
Thus, I have to be able to read and understand the drawings first before I can set off doing it.
And just when I had learn more on it, and is now able to interpret the circuitries....

My supervisor today gave me a set of circuits on circuit breaker, it's more like a manual where even the real life terminal connections are specifically shown.
And the circuit diagram is........ way much more complex than I thought....... (I don't see anything familiar)

YES, my head is spinning again, and my supervisor want to get a A3 scanner to scan all those circuit diagrams into soft copies... and I AM supposed to do it!!! ARGH!!!
But luckily, I find the workplace here pleasant.
The people in my office have been frank and friendly, the experience PTO often told me their past experience and their point of perspective at the working attitude of others.
Rather enriching, and I got to know a bit of buying shares stuffs lol.

The engineers are all friendly, among them there is a Koh, who is very rugged-type of engineer hehe. He is strong build, a bit taller than me, sit beside me at the same desk and always creating some kind of commotion in the office ^__^;

I wish to work there after I graduate. Right now, I hoped to attain knowledge and also experience working with the technicians there too. They are also quite funny people, though some may look old, they are still "lao dang li zhuang".
Today one of them said going to let me do something in a furnace place, supposed to be dirty, he said must "tekang" me hehehe... then the other technician said wait later he become your engineer and tekang you back lol~~

Aiya, I would say I have been well received by all the people I met so far.
I'm glad to have chosen this place as my I.A. (Senoko power station)

I am beginning to enjoy my stay there,
zhaoru.

PS: Made up my mind to specialise in power engineering. Be an engineer. And by the way, the jokes on engineers can be quite true...haha, my supervisor always using engineering mind set to say on anything even at buying 4D and TOTO omg!!! ~___~;

My colleagues

I have found some people interested in wei qi as me now.
AND guess who they are...?

Eh, well, read the headline again okay.

They are pretty interested after finding out that I am a wei qi player, the engineers wanted to learn how to play it~~
hehe, I am quite surprised too, well I am going to bring my magnetic set there someday and give them a lesson or two on it, to help them learn the game.
But I don't think they have much free time during office hour.... don't tell me I had to "work" OT to teach them T____T

wondering,
zhaoru.
