Happy 44th National Day

Hi all,

i'm back to post on this terrific National Day. This year theme is "Come Together. Reaching out & Reaching up." and the theme song is "What do you see" by Electrico. I really like this song alot as it's really difference from the past national songs. Before this year theme song, most of the national songs were mainly about Singapore and how nice it will be or the singer describing how proud they were as a Singaporean.

What's difference compared to the past is that, this song "What Do You See" is being performed by a local band, Electrico. Well, this is definately not their first NDP. I remembered seeing them performed in 2006 at the National Stadium with this song, Hip City. How ironic is that the song is decribing the lifestyle in Singapore. The second main difference is that instead of singing how proud they were, or how great singapore city is but instead as a challenge to all Singaporean to think independently,aspiration to make singapore an even more better place and also to reminds us that the future is in our hands to be.

Anyway, recently i had setup a flickr account. Might be posting the links here so that everyone can see whatever stuff i took with my DSLR. Oh yeah, haha... just mentioned that i had bought my very first DSLR eventhough i'm not very happy with the shop that i bought it with as i felt that i got scammed by them but what to do, take this as an expensive mistake and moved on.

Ok once again, Happy 44th National Day to all of us. Below is the music video of "What do you see" by Electrico.

Back to basic

Hi all, i've just updated my template to one of the default template. Reason being that i just want to go back to basic and to do away with all the stupid and girly theme that i had in the past. Will update again soon if i have the time.

I Trust You

The flowers seems to be dancing in the wind.
The rain seems to be moisturising the Earth.
Everything in this world depends on each other to survive.
Why do people hurt each other?
Why are there seperations?

Even if you travel far away, you will always remain right here in my heart.
My heart will always be filled by that gentle smile of yours.
I'll hang on tightly to that fragment of you.
Even if i felt hurt, we are still connected together.
I believe that we will meet again.
I'm waiting for your love.

I love you, I trust you.
I want to share your loneliness.
Be it the light or darkness,
we can trust each other if it's only the two of us,
No, don't let go.

Major Dilemma

Hi all, first i want to wish everyone here a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It's 2009 and i believed this year could be quite promising for some while depressing for many due to the financial recession that are happening now.

Well, it's 4:23AM on my clock now and I'm sleepless tonight. I couldn't sleep because I'm facing a major dilemma as we speak. Well last week, i went for a job interview with a foreign bank called ABN Amro. I think it went well and the people there were so convincing that they would confirmed me by this week. However, the call never came and I kind of becoming very anxious now. Because of this job as a bank teller, I actually "cancelled" or "turn down" quite a number of other job opportunities. One of which is my favoured Technology Assistant job with HP. So this well my major sleepless night come in. It's not that i don't want to work in the bank or something but still I don't viewed it in my best interest or the bank best interest that I'm a suitabl candidate for the job. The interviewer had asked me about my long time goal and i told her that I wanted to work in the IT industry which they replied me that what makes me think that this banking job is suitable for me. I can also say that I'm under quite a huge pressure on my shoulder down because my family wants me to work at the bank.

I got to admit i don't think my best interest is in the banking sector. Eventhough I'm quite comfortable with the job but however, is this in my best interest? Is this also in ABN Amro best interest? I was told that I'll be put in a 6 months contract with a possibilities of converting to perm if i performed well till the end or earlier but I think about this myself, am i being fair to them that if i quit at the end of the contract to join the IT industry or i find a job that is more suitable for me? 6 months is a long way and i did not really had any banking experience. It's not unlike the time i worked at IRC Lanshop as I do had some experiences fixing up computer and lan server. I DIY my own desktop before last time and knows how to fix up LAN during my ITE times. With this, i don't really have any experience in the banking sector which means that they have to spend alot of time and effort training me up and if i quit at the end of the contract, I don't think they would be happy about it and neither do I.

The major dilemma i'm facing now is if i called up the Recruit Express agent on monday and tell him about my issue, i believed the best advice he gave me is to not follow up with the job. I just emailed Roanne and hopefully she will see my email on monday morning but there are also risk that the position is not opened anymore or I failed the interview with HP. So it's back to square one again. But then in life, it's all about risking something for another. Can i really be a risktaker?

I know that in my life, i had not taken that much of a risk before but this would be my biggest risk. I will still call up Kenneth on monday morning to voice out my issue. I think IT industry is still my ideal career line. Think i might need to do some praying tomorrow or something.

Anyway, I don't think i'll be able to sleep tonight anyway. I can't wait for monday to come fast.
