Clips from my I.A.

Chao Zhi, a new friend that I got to know during my attachment at Delphi, sent me this video he took of us during the last day. I only managed to upload it until recently. It shows just one of the many tea break sessions we share in Delphi cafeteria... It's where and when we chit chat and build up on our relations... haha =P Gonna miss those fine days...

"Part 01..."

Part 01 - It's about me "ji siao'ing" my female colleague, Yun Xuan... I'm "offering" my Subway cookie to her. But because she was the one who asked "Why I never offer it to her?" She refused to accept it. But somehow when I "offered" it to her... she pondered for a while & "her eyes betrayed her"...

"Part 02..."

Part 2 - It's about my colleague from China, Yang Hao, arriving late for the first time that day. And I'm sure most of us have heard the story of the NTU “叫我大王!!!” s*x story... So I was making fun of him, saying how he was up late last night "having fun" and how he bit his tongue in the process.

Yang Hao then kept asking about the whereabouts of another indian IA student attached to Delphi, whom did not belonged to our clinche... So being who I am, I made fun of him again, questioning him why he was being so concerned with him? Don't tell me, he's your “王后”("queen" in chinese)... since Yang Hao is the “大王”("king")

"Part 03..."

Part 3 - It's about me commenting on how the trend between Yang Hao and his "Queen" works... When Yang Hao is early, the indian colleague is late... When Yang Hao is late, the indian colleague takes MC... It's how they never appear together, but one after the other. So I questioned why they don't have the habit of waking up one another in the bed, since they are just lying side by side?

Then, the male colleague sitting next to me, Wei Jian, made a comment about how he envy them... and this scared the shit out of me, and raised a few eyebrows amongst the group... haha =P

"Part 04..."

Videos from Zili's & Wenli's Wedding...

All the videos below have been aired during the newly wed's wedding dinner... I dunno whether I should show them to the "world" on my blog, but it'll be such a waste if these video clips were only shown once on their wedding night. They're so nicely done...

So I decided to share the love with all of you... there's plenty to go around... Spread the love =P

"Our Little Zili's story... & Little Wenli's story..."

"... And this night on, their story will continue forever, together..."

"Fetching the Bride..."

When I think about their wedding, I think about how well both of them fit together, like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle... really, like a match made in heaven.

Well, I can't say that I know the couples on a very deep level, but somehow I just know that they will be one of those very old couples I see, bonded in white hair... walking side-by-side in the park... still holding their hands together... because I know Zili will make a very good husband & father, and Wenli a very good wife & mother. They love each other, respect each other, support each other and are each other's best friend & soulmate.

And when you see both of them together, you don't just see a couple... I see "True Love"... =]

~.~ God Bless Them ~.~

~Zili & Wenli in Holy Matrimony... God Bless~

"Welcome to the Blog on the Wedding of Zili & Wenli... A Match made in Heaven"

"The handsome & pretty couple..."

The team (most of it) attended Zili's wedding on Sunday (8th June 2008) @ Furama City Centre Singapore. I just wanna say that it was really kind of Zili to invite us to celebrate this joyous occasion together with him... Thank you Zili =]

~.~.~

I don't need to say too much... juz from looking at their pictures, I'm sure whoever's reading this entry can feel how much in love they are, how blissful & wonderful their marriage will be in the future... I truly, sincerely give them my heartfelt blessing. =]

~.~.~

And of course I'm sure the guys from the team had a most wonderful time at the wedding dinner. I sure did, with Zili almost sitting on me during the phototaking session on the stage, and me stepping on Zili's wife's dress... =P Sorry about that~! We took lotsa, lotsa of pictures too! Well... That's us. We never fail to have fun when we are together... =P especially my table~! haha

~.~.~

How can you expect these to fill the stomaches of a table of Dragonboaters? haha...

"Welcome to the Wedding of Jiaqi & Huiqi... the next ones in-line"

"It's not our wedding... but that doesn't mean we can't entertain ourselves... haha"

"Another Team photo on this Joyous Day with the Mr. Groom"

~.~.~

Last but not least, really wanna thank Zili & Wenli again... & hope both of you will have a everlasting & blissful marriage...

Sunday Training

Nothing much to say...

Just good old plain 4-hours of tough training... the way I like it!
Juz whack, man~! =]

NTU Dragonboat sa~!

Now, to take a good nap & wake up for Zi Li's wedding later... =]

Kung Fu Panda

"Prepare for Awesomeness"

It poured heavily most of the time throughout today's training... However, the feeling of rowing in the rain is a totally different experience - very refreshing... but we can't have it too often. Time is running out, and the winds blowing over are chilling, especially if you're like me, topless... And we might fall sick anytime, if we're not careful during this period.

Caught "Kung Fu Panda" in the evening at Lido - Shaw Centre... Must say that I enjoyed the show pretty much. All the expressive "wooh" and "aahhh" by the main character, Po the Giant Panda, who is a major kung fu fanatic as well as a top fan of the "Fearsome Five". The Five respresent the five major styles of chinese kung fu, the Tigress, the Monkey, the Crane, the Snake and the Preying Mantis... taught by their Master Shifu, a red panda. Generally, it's a light-hearted film that revolves around the idea of a typical nobody becoming a somebody.

Verdict: Catch it... juz catch it~!

Had Pepper Lunch for dinner... =P It's my first time having Pepper Lunch... I ordered salmon and chicken, and I think it tastes very nice! Pretty good restaurant-like food served in a fastfood manner...

Then had to head back home & rest... coz my eyes feel so heavy... and my body feels so tired. haha

== Shopping Spree for Zi Li's Wedding ==

"We do..."

It's my NTU Dragonboat team mate, Zili's and his wife, Wenli's wedding this coming Sunday (June 8th). =] Best part is I'M INVITED~!!! Coz all along we (some guys from the team and I) were thinking that we won't get invited to their wedding, but it turns out the whole batch was invited~!

"That's right... That's my name there on the invitation card!"

The whole process was so hilarious, coz some of us received his email asking whether we will be attending his wedding... but one or two guys in yahoo! group didn't receive it, so we were making fun of them... saying that Zi Li didn't want them to attend the wedding. =P That's how crappy & bitchy we are... hahaa.

~ . ~ . ~

Anyway, since his wedding reception is this Sunday, I thought I would get myself a new shirt juz to attend his wedding. So I grabbed my two consultants-cum-buddies and headed out for a shopping trip in town since the Great Singapore Sale (GSS) is going on. We dropped by Tangs, Paragon - Celio, Raoul, Takashimaya - Zara, Wisma Atrium - Topman, Projectshop...

Tried out plenty of shirts in various shades n stripes of pink... before we (I) finally picked something off the racks of Zara~ And the shirts from Topman are getting from bad to worse (now I see what Yi He was talking about, when he mentioned Topman shirts are going "rainbow" this season... so yar, it's ByeBye Topman, and Hello Zara~!

Ohoh!... the clothes at Celio are quite nice... and they are going quite cheap during this SALE (30% - 40%). So people if you happen to pass by Celio, walk in & check it out... =]

~ . ~ . ~

Gosh I can't wait for Zi Li's Wedding this Sunday. Then we can take lotsa of pictures with the groom and bride~! Congrats Zi Li... =]

Unforgettable Industrial Attachment Part 1

"This is my favourite group photo... of us"

Time really flies when you're having fun... or rather starting to have fun! The end of our 22 weeks Industrial Attachment has finally (inevitably) come to an end.

Though tiring it is waking up in the unearthly hours of the morning and supposingly reporting for work at 7:30am, I've grown accustomed to reporting for work only after 8:00am... and so has my supervisor =P For this matter, my supervisor has been tolerative of me... coz slowly he has grown only to call me to report at his desk at 8 plus. =]

The things I'll miss most from work... are the friendly ladies (aunties) at FA Lab, Chwee Eng, Jee Ping, Cecillia & Wai Fong... my I.A lunch & break kakis, the fun bunch of guys & girl from NTU, Wei Qi, Chin Heng, Wei Jian, Yang Hao, Chao Zhi & Yun Xuan.

They are the ones that make the long stretch of I.A. almost bearable & endurable. THANKS GUYS~! erm... & girl... That's one good point of being attached to a company full of students doing attachment, ever better if they're all from the same school. I remember the first day when we met each other, standing outside the guardhouse. All of them were dressed smartly in their shirts & pants, paired with their leather shoes. I was the only one who appeared dressed in my "Long" polo tee. haha... We quickly initated, getting to know each others' names & taking down their contact numbers. Then we headed to the reception area & waited for our supervisors to come pick us up one by one as though we were call-girls.

That very afternoon, we met each other for lunch at the company cafeteria... and that was the start of an blooming friendship between us. Ever since then, we have been meeting up for lunch, bitching about our workload, our supervisors, the aunties at the production line, the pretty 853 girl, chinese-muslim girl, CC (aka Chin Heng's rumored GF) and 美女 at the company, the food at the company cafeteria, etc. Lunch slowly grew from 45mins to 1 hour, then from purely lunch to lunch cum post lunch break, where we gathered in Chin Heng's room & chit chat before returning to our individual work-post. =P

And I will surely remember our tea breaks, that only came too late as the I.A period approached its end. But better late than never, right? Hehe... And we sure made up for lost time as we cracked the stupiest and most classic jokes during I.A. then... haha

I believe we will all miss those days... when we hang out together in Delphi. We had our first outing near the end of our attachment, but I'm sure that won't be our last... Let's keep the "Delphi Zuo Mu Quan" spirit alive~! haha =]

Let's set the next gathering in July~! yar~

I think I'll continue on my attachment another time... coz that's just so much to commemorate...

My takeaway:
I believe I'm truly blessed in my life... sure I have my ups & downs... who doesn't? But what I'm truly grateful for, are all the true friends that have appeared in my life. I haven't encountered any "friends" that have backstabbed me, or talked bad about me up till now, and I hope I never have to live to experience that day. I don't possess any special qualities, but my friends really stick with me nonetheless. And they have taught me alot about life. You guys and girls know who you are... and I'm determined to keep you people by my side till I die~

My belief is that I don't need alot and alot of friends. Those are just numbers on Friendster and Facebook. I don't care about those... What I truly care about are having true friends, who are not afraid to go that extra mile for me, who I know have my back covered at all times... =]

My fav phrase has been "True friends will tell you the painful truth, but fake friends will just lie to you for one whole life-time..."

We all need a helping hand every now and then... you and me...

"Take my hand..."

It feels really bad when you know your friends are having problems/troubles/difficulties but you dunno how to help them or offer your help to them. This kind of feeling really sucks...

It makes me think whether I've been a lousy friend when all I care about has been myself & all I can think about have been my own problems, when in fact my friends are facing problems of their own.

But even when I do know you're encountering problems, I feel useless when I can't offer you any help or advice to solve your problems or help you in any way... or worse still, you don't think of me worthy enough as a friend to share your woes or being a listening ear to your problems. I really want to help... if only you give me a chance to. Afterall, what are friends for?

Or am I juz another fair-weather friend to you?

Suddenly so many of my friends are having problems... and I dunno how I can help them. All I can say is I'll be here if ever any of you need me...

What I've learnt:
"Open up your heart... Listen with it... Look around... you will see that many others rather than yourself are having problems, troubles and difficulties too. Comparing mine with theirs, my troubles may seem so insignificant after all..."

I have moved...

Yes.. yes... I have officially moved over from LiveJournal to Blogspot~! This site has been under renovations for quite some time since last week, simply coz I can't upload my new blogskin and that got me quite pissed. >=[

Anyway, I'm in the mood to start blogging again so do visit me often and drop me tag comments every now and then. =] Let's keep well in touch... my friends. Friends from IA especially... keep in touch~!!! coz no more tea-breaks and lunch breaks...
