Unemployment

"A GLOBAL recruitment company has found that more than half of workers in Singapore regret what they chose to study back in school, polytechnic or university."

"Singapore's jobless rate rose to 2.3 per cent in the second quarter after seasonal adjustments, compared to 2 per cent in the first three months, in line with expectations of rising unemployment amid a slowing economy. "

Hey guys!!

Been reading up on some papers - both hard copies and online. It seems that unemployment is still a problem in the current economy.

Well, it just came across my mind after I received a brochure which showed the bachelor course available in UNISim.

Hmmmm... Are you really well-prepared for you future?
Maybe some of you have told me how you've planned your career/future and everything seemed like silk and it's going to be well sewn. But have you wondered whether that piece of silk is going to be comfortable for you? Was that silk sewn in the way you want it exactly to be? What are you going to do if that silk was torn? Is silk your only choice?

haha..alright, i'm just replacing jobs with silk. I met sze yin on the train, and she brought up a question, "have you thought of going into other profession or pursue further into accounts?" Hahaz...she got me thinking much deeply from City Hall to Pasir Ris. Lol!!

Well..I've given myself some alternatives so that i'm not stucked with only one death route. =) Maybe you guys can share with me what's your plan for your future?

hahaz...

"the future is in your hands"..

By the way... Singapore Polytechnic Lion Dance made it into Takashimaya, Miraculously!
I'd say it's 40% Luck!! loL!! We've marked ourselves history for being the 1st Polytechnic and the 2nd school ever (tailing NUS) to enter Ngee Ann City lion dance competition, Finals.

Some words to motivate my members: Yes it's true that we're lucky, we got in because our zone was lousy, our zone's strong teams fell, misunderstood, gave up. Still..If we didn't worked hard enough and produce a somewhat reasonable score, we won't be able to qualify also! So...cheer up! We're given the entitlement, cherish it! Make the best out of it! =) I don't mind a last also..coz..medals are destined to be ours! =D

If you guys are interested, Come watch SP Lion Dance compete at Ngee Ann city this early Sep. See you! =)

Virginity - precious?

(taken from pbfcomics.com)

"the average age of Singaporeans experiencing sex for the first time is 18.4. Considering that the average age of marriage is at least 10 years more, it's a safe assumption that a fair number of young people are engaging in pre-marital sex."

Got the urge to post this entry after a discussion with Alvin, Yu song and Xiao Ye on Saturday. I'm caught aback and shock to hear many names of girls at our age (or younger) who aren't "new" anymore. Mostly from my Secondary school..and...whom I'll never expect them to be alright with it.

Teenagers are giving up this "trust" away much easily now. Maybe because I'm still in the traditional kind of thinking, but i cannot accept the fact that my lifelong partner would have been deflowered by some other guy (whom I may or may not know). Do you have the same thought as me? If you do...I presume you're still preserved. Yu song did say it's alright to accept a non-"v" girl - you know why he'd say that.

To me, virginity is like a trust and gift given to your spouse who's going to be with you forever. However, the fact that many teens lost it tells me that..it's no longer that precious anymore. It's like a tool to hold on to your present boyfriend/girlfriend now. What's worse, I doubt they even bothered about it.

Maybe you'll argue that it's the other party that forced me to do it. I see both party as responsible. It takes 2 hands to clap. I think that's why I'm single now... lol! =X

Hopefully after my National Service, the 'one' that I am going to find would well be very much preserved.

Enjoy your week ahead! =P

LoL!! Have you seen lots of those pictures with black frame, a main picture in the middle and then words below it that describes the picture?? It can be really inspiring sometimes.

Anyway, i got my hands on over hundreds of these pictures! Many thanks to zach! Had a great laugh!! =)

Think, and laugh! =P


Coincidence? Way coincidental!


Nonsense~


Damn...no wonder i never get my As


Hell yes!


"空城計"


This is not the 1st.

It means..."knock your head on the wall, you're going to die anyway~"


Same goes for this... try to break through the rock if the game permits~ you're gonna die anyway


Dota lovers!


LOL!! This is the most hilarious!! It's good if you don't know the real meaning, but if you do...LOL!!

I'll show 10 now..will show more in the future! =)

NBA Bloopers

I like the part whereby the agitated Gary Payton got pissed and punched the ball to the floor only to get a head shot! ROFL!! @ 1.36 F.U.N.N.Y!!! =P Keep smiling! Be happy! =)

Pricing methods

Nice day at Sentosa last Wednesday together with my class! =) Was meant to be a suntanning day, but it turned out that clouds are dark. loL~! * Sakura dinner as well! yum yum*

Anyway, just came back from Wushu camp. Well... I guess it should be a "Lion dance using Wushu's camp as a diguise for it's own overnight stay camp" I felt bad that we're not following what the wushu planned and it's like we're doing our own things~ loL!! Yea, they challenged us a Lion Dance VS Wushu Captain's ball...Zzz... i don't like the idea of that game though~

Anyway, during the camp, we found weird stuffs. Once again, I've captured them. *sources from Cheng yong and Max.


"CautioN! Door Is Closed" ... ...? Why would I since the door's already closed?


"CLOSED. Go the Next Door Shop To Buy Your Things. Thanks" In another words, "I'm not doing your business...go find next door. Even if my shop is open next time, go to the next shop since it's selling what I am selling too." =)

Alright, in Fundamentals of Marketing, we learned a few on pricing strategies - Marketing mix decisions, Estimate the demand curve and weird pricing strategy.

In our module, the "weird pricing strategy" refers to putting "$499.99" instead of "$500" kind of thing. However, i got to found some kind of weird pricing too. Look at these:


This picture was quite long ago. My explanation would be: "For the same thing, it's now much costly by 70.87%. Oh no, our management think it's fair to be transparent and we die die must show you how much it was in the past and tell you, you've been overcharged compare to 'usual price'." You might think it's for 2 bottles/2 packets or something, but the price tag didn't said anything about that. Don't believe? check my frienster. =P

Another one:



This is found in a convenient store. And more.


*ding dong* "Hi sir, you wanna buy a house? It's 1 million for a house....what? too expensive? How about $800 grand for both houses? Deal? Seal!"

R.O.F.L!!


Yea, a stall in the middle of somewhere..what's wrong?


Ok, we know this stall is under 24hrs surveillance...why?


Ya, this is the camera.. and then?


Oh! You mean, it's no longer 24 hours if this wire is removed? Brilliant! *FYI: The camera wasn't facing where the wire is placed. Nice strategy... Amigos!

hehez...have a good holiday ahead! =)

Near... Far~ Lazy is what you are!

Oh my god! We guys (DAC 02 guys) just discovered yet another place to fill our need for food, Carl's Jr!

LoL!! If you think the "king" was great with bigger and nicer burgers, think again. The junior has more than what the king takes! (Maybe that's why it's "Hungry Jacks" over at Australia)

Haha...after the Thursday night trial over at marina square, I attempted it again at East Coast park's Carl's Junior yesterday, together with 4 guys (from SPLD) travelling around with our pick-up to fill our hunger demand. They boast they can eat alot...so i thought i'll let them try this. HAHA!! Yea man...they're defeated somehow. loL

We pooled in all our fries and..ta daa! Sea of fries with pinch...grip of pepper! =) Nice!

Back to my "titanic theme songed" title.. loL! Took this picture for quite a while, just too busy to upload and blogged about it. Alright...just some evidence to show how lazy (or should I say intentional rebellious) Singaporeans can get... ...



Saw that!?! So inconsiderate...this fire hosereel cabinet is located next to a multi-storey carpark staircase exit, so i guessed these motorists and drivers just conveniently left their used coupons and tissue papers on the top of the red cabinet. How inconsiderate!! You always expect those poor and innocent sweeper to throw it for you?!? Damn it...

To make things worse was not because they just left those weightless rubbish htere. See this and you'll get the picture... ...

... ...



The freaking rubbish bin was not beside the exit for decoration. It's just an arm's length away. Damn it.

all i can say is... ... L.A.Z.Y!!! please don't be like these idiots~

See yoU!

*btw, good driving skills Max, considering your long period of absence for driving! Drive us out more! =) Be like cheng yong!

pushed away on camera

OH MY ALLAH!! THIS IS SO FREAKING HILARIOUS!!! LOL!!

F.Y.I: Lebron James is the coming Basketball legend, who's also nicknamed as "King James"

Jamario Moon is one of the star player of Toronto Raptors, a high-flyer whose dunk is very nice and sweet!

Now, regarding the video, when they're in the rookie game this year, the host was interviewing Daniel Gibson (a rookie from Cleveland Cavaliers, Lebron James' team). Soon, Jamario (also a rookie who played the game) walked past and supposedly wanting to talk to Gibson, however...Lebron James appeared and pushed him aside!!

SO FUNNY!!



Can you imagine if you're moon, how would you feel?

Moon: Hi daniel, you're... ...(pushed away)huh??? *confused, blur*

and, on the other hand..lebron's idea would be like..

James: hey, what's that blocking? get away bug...shoo...

LOL!! This is so freaking funny!!

Misunderstanding...SUCKS!

"Yea, i'm the cat with you dogs around! loL!!"

Just joking... i just find this picture kinda cute! Look at the tail, it's as if it's seducing all the german shephard beside! loL!!

What a good sentence to go along with the picture.


My apologies for the late posting, was in serious busy mode with series of unfortunate events happening. I'm certain that it wasn't good ever since school started! Dang~

Just returned from my attachment mood. (Yes, people have already returned to school, and i'm still in the holiday/attachment mood which got me not doing tutorials and spacing out everytime) Sorry mates, didn't used my 100% attention in class and projects. No worries, i'm back to school mood already. Finished all my tutorials. Hahaz!! I'm going to present my answer this week! (if possible)

I just got my 1st hand experience of being wronged and misunderstood. CoffeeKing heard me talked about it. He made me widen my view on life. One phrase which he said:
"You don't see stars when it's bright...but when you're in the dark, you see it's presence."
Well, that sentence did make a lot of sense both physically and in abstract.

Haiz...to think I trusted them, but he made something which i can't believe he did. When people said friends in need is a friend indeed. I respect this sentence very much, but after this incident...i'm doubtful for friends. No worries, BOSB...definitely not anyone of you. It's a friend i knew during my poly years. Neither my classmates too, I know you guys well enough. Not you, PW and FY too...you 2 can't be those sort of people. =)

I don't know if i should make it too obvious, but honestly, I've lost my respect. I shouldn't be talking about this behind someone's back, since he's not going to read it. Just wanna tell you guys, I now get to feel the uneasiness, the disappointment, the hatred, the unhappiness of being misunderstood, all behind your back. Please, don't ever misunderstand someone and talk about this behind their back. I know i do speak of someone's unglamorous behind their back sometimes, but honestly...i'll clarify and make sure what I said is true before it came out of my mouth.

I really hate assumptions and those sensitive "read between the lines" and "words beyond words" kind of behaviour. If it's not necessary, please do not make assumptions on all these stuffs please! Do i look like the person who want to make your life difficult? Do i look like i'm the person who want to give you trouble? You think i'm bothered about you?

Stupidity

Really anger me more when it's your friend.

zzz...forget about it. It's over...just wanna spite my anger over here at my blog! hehe!!

Watch this!

Hilarious! I like this dance, especially when there's part of Michael's Jackson's. Nice performance! Who says Indians have no talent? I actually like the bollywood movies because of all their dances. Their dance moves are complicated yet very happening, synchronised and NICE! =)

Back to project and school mode!

Basketball match this coming Saturday, anyone interest to watch, do visit Bronto park on saturday morning. Melvin Foo No. 10 (MVP) shall dominate the court and be the scoring pillar...*oOpX~!*

Enjoy your week ahead! =)

For Phuay Wah =P!!

"A file of defiance (2), sapphire bottle (69) and mystic monitor (1900), the essential defence against crystal maiden a.k.a Lee Tan Lin." - Melvin

What a nightmare, our IAP to be tutored by Ms Lee Tan Lin. Dota players should know about crystal maiden, and our teacher has the same characteristics - with the fact that her slowness is passive. Damn it~

LOL! Now that fate has brought us to her, guess we'll have to admit to fate then. Hope she wouldn't use the same way to tutor us like in year 2 ba? I wanna graduate one!!

Anyway, Cynthia below was badly affected during her lesson. She's been hit so many times that she... ...



... ...slept? hahaz

Lucky she bought the items fast and was able to block the Crystal maiden's




Look at her strategy.



A successful blockage. *The person in yellow was Crystal maiden*


Hahaz...let's hope school will be smooth! =)

Anyway...MRT Stations have removed all the dustbins. Yes i know you guys are aware. So much so that students had already searched for alternate disposal place.

What a perfect strategy, behind the wall and out of Control Office Sight. *Yes, it's found in Dover Control Station*

NEXT:

Once vynson (my attachment senior) had told us...don't offend the person who's going to serve you food.

I agree. Coz you'll never know what he's going to serve you with later on.

In addition, don't offend your workers or underlings too. You might get cursed... Below is an example.

Yes, i found this in my Cafe's notice board and i just can't prevent myself from LOL'ing and take this photo with my side ached.

His head was pierced several times with pins, the the rest of the face nicely smiling.

LOL!! You know the chinese always draw the small "people" and whack them with slippers right? I kinda presume that... being poked was worst. hahaz...poor jonny~ (Jonathan)

Well. I'll still respect him as a manager despite him treating the rest quite badly. I understood him more than anyone else in the cafe - i worked with him almost every saturday! Of course!

NEXT:

Erm. Nothing much actually, just showing you a marker (metal casing) being stapled. Didn't know who did it, but...cool huh?



AND:

hahaz..it's meant for Princess SB. =P I doubt you'll be that free to go search for this video. Come watch it here! hehe...feel free to watch. Kinda cute! Recommended by my classmates! =)

Enjoy your week ahead people! Basketball was fun yesterday! And next week will be as great!

Cya guys! =)

How time flies...we're now into the last week of our attachment.
These 2 months are definitely one of the longest 2 months I've been through, no doubt I've learnt many precious things through this process!!

Making new friends was a good harvest from the attachment. Let's recall...

Fang Yu (I call her the music person - "For you only, Of coURse~")
Wilson (From NP - "saikO dude!")
Adam (Dota player!! Nice chap!)
Bradford (Breakfast~)

Anyway, just some things to share.

Nearing the end of our attachment, we're getting tired at office. Very busy and files kept on coming, so we have to entertain ourselves with music!


Cool right? Our dear soon nguan *cough cough* brought us these and wanted to show fang yu. He left it here and went back to work again.

FY returned, and we thought that music is not enough to keep us entertained... so, we played with it... ...

Ta daa!!!

LOL!! Cute right!?!? haha!!! cannot stop giggling... actually wanted to LOL in office one...but must maintain my image! =P

See!! Keng-ster. People thought she doing work, but she's drawing... ... erm... ...treble clair? (something like that~)

And phew!! We managed to have a group pix before everything ended. The 2nd from the right is our beloved FA lecturer, Ms JA. The 2 on her sides are my lovely attachment companion. Right is Phuay Wah, left is Fang Yu. The prince charming would be the one in white.

I like this photo! =) Thanks FY!

Alright, change topic. Went to Haw Par Villa with some friend the previous Sundays. Felt like uploading some here.

We sure had hell loads of stupid pictures over there. That's what the statues are for anyway right?

What did we do... ...?

... ...we posed like the statues... ...


... ...joined the animal kingdom... ...


... ...had a tea session with...antelope? Business are good with their horns~... ...


... ...tried our luck to win the statues back... ...


... ...mocked at crap...Crb...cr...ab... Crabz... CRAP!!


Sumo? ( I JUST WANNA LAUGH UPON SEEING THIS PIX!! SO FUNNY!!)

... ...interrupted during court case... ...


... ...And been through hell. "Melvin and Newton" from *Yin Cha Yang Chuo - Zero to Hero*



Finally, a decent photo with our Shi fu and some others before departing the historical haw par villa. Sure it looked scary at night, but...very memorable still.

Do visit here sometimes and bring back so fun from the past! =)

Regards!
