Wednesday, July 20, 2005It begins... Song of the moment: Aerosmith - Cryin' 'Cause what you got inside Ain't where your love should stay Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love 'Till you give your heart away I was cryin' when I met you Now I'm tryin to forget you Love is sweet misery I was cryin' just to get you Now I'm dyin' just to let you Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby Cryin by Aerosmith At last, my Final Year Project has been completed, SEALED and DELIVERED! Thus, having completed my FYP, its time for us project students to start on our IAP (Industrial Attachment Programme) a.k.a Internship a.k.a cheap labour. I've been assigned to National Computer Systems Private Limited, just a very long stone's throw away from NYP. I'll elaborate on my experience for the first 3 days a little later. Friday's CG was, as usual, normal SKMC CG. With all the wedgie-ing and lame jokes, I absolutely wasn't fazed by it. Except maybe for a little while, when someone switched off the living room lights and brought out a birthday cake for Keith. I did remember Keith or someone else mentioning the event the previous cell but it somehow slipped my mind. Apparently, it was arranged my Sandar, who, not surprisingly, never did inform me of anything because she doesn't have my HP number, not that anyone in the CG other than Keith has my number anyway. Gee, don't I sound so absolutely anti-social? I was, of course, prepared for this. I did think about hanging out with the youths and all but it just feels weird, hanging out with people who seem to know me better than I know them even though we've met each other just a couple months back. Admittedly, I am not the kind to approach people or trigger a conversation. If you've known me for less than 1-2 months, you'll find me a horrible conversationalist, since I don't talk much. I know its probably one of the aspects of my behavior I should change but I do try. My initial estimate of myself needing about 3 months to adjust to SKMC life is about to go down the drain. I thought it'll be the same as when I got into NYP but I failed to take into account that I only meet them at least twice a week, once at CG and the other in Church on Sunday unlike school, where I meet my classmates nearly everyday. I am NOT totally anti-social, I've got this blog for the general public to gawk at and I do talk to the younger youths like Joel and Lester, though because sometimes they hang out at my house with my brother, who is their Junior, and are graduates of my mom's Children Ministry. Then, some of the HKMC people might ask, 'If it's tough adjusting, why did you move in the first place?'. I moved back to HKMC when my family first left Hakka. Ever since then, I've always felt a sort of 'Spiritual' distance from my family. It was in my best interest for me to move to SKMC. We all need a little time adjusting, maybe for me, its just a little longer than others. Last Saturday was the ACJS Nomad carnival, which my brother was involved in. It was rather interesting, with all the horribly over-priced food, activities and all. My brother also played a part in his class play (Thankfully non-speaking...LOL). I've got a couple pictures from that performance. If anyone is remotely interested, I might post them up. I also spotted my old Primary Six form teacher, Madam Tan, who unfortunately, didn't spot me. Anything gained from the carnival? Sadly, none. However, I did see a couple of cute girls, whom I am confident are at least 15 or 16. Maybe, as Jon always says, future investment? Honestly though, I don't believe in 'future investments'. For me, its always alright to start out as friends but I'll never befriend a girl just for the sake of obtaining a potential future girlfriend. Anyway, more importantly, it was also 16th July 2005. As all non-muggles know, 16th July 2005 = Release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!! Me, being the clever one (although there are those who dispute that statement), decided to order the book from SingPost. Why brave the crowd at the bookstores and have a 1 over 100000 chance of winning some personally autographed copies of the book (of course, if you were to give one to me, I definitely wouldn't mind) when you can sit down and relax, have a coffee (or go to a school carnival, in my case) and have it personally delivered to your house on that very morning? Sometimes, you kids have to think properly about your choices, you know... Read first 2 chapters already, looks great. I'll elaborate more in the coming weeks as I read further. Finally, back to the main topic, Attachment. First 3 days so far is alright. Mainly just settling down and getting an idea of the project that we'll be working on (It's something for the Singapore Police Force and I can't mention it due to some confidentiality agreement I've signed with the company and the Singapore Government). We also made full use of their recreational facilities there, which includes an arcade room, 2 pool tables (I am saved!!!), a couple of carrom tables, 2 ping pong tables and an in-house gym (^_^). For the past two days, it was mostly printing and binding of training materials for the project which has dominated our workload for the past two days. However, according to one of our group head's, we can look forward to some programming, SQL and JSP soon. Wish me luck people! You've always deserved more than he could ever give...probably more than I could ever give to, if I ever had a chance. Move on...and maybe you'll find someone who could give you the answers you are looking for. |
