Hey ya!! It's the new year! I can't believe how long I haven't been back to this page but my god, how time flies!

Well, I realized that some of you out there do actually visit my humble blog (more often than I do!) from time to time. So sorry for not updating it as often as I could!

Life is totally hectic now with dear Keishi stuck in a corporate rut 9 am till 9 pm (well, not always but not unusual also), dealing with roadshows after roadshows week in week out. Still refuse to believe why all our telco companies are competing so aggressively. Aren't they all owned by the same parent company? Not surprised if one day a merger happens 'mediacorp' style.

Anyway, my computer is really acting up now. Guess I will have to reboot ....

Dad + Son

Hiya!

It's been weeks, but here's a little something to keep all of you entertained from my friend Jason. Chatting online on MSN is indeed an adventure for those aged 50 years and above. Jason's nick is New Beginnings (and that's only because he's starting on a new job, or seeking one at the moment.)

Conversation on MSN :

New Beginnings says:

Nothing for 5 minutes ...

Mark says:

Ah, well.

Dileemas, Dileemas

I just got back from an interview with Sony this afternoon and I do not think I fared very well, which is kind of disappointing.

On the other hand, I have a job offer but I do not find it appealing. I reckon it's a tough decision to make but at this point of my life, I do not want my career to be spiralling off in a wrong direction - although I do need the money rather urgently.

I seriously do not know what I should do at this point of time. And I dun enjoy not being employed.

*staring in the sky*

Today I clicked on :

http://thepostpigeon.bravepages.com/tpp32/froozepop.htm

Actually I found this on mrbrown.com (so credit goes to you!). It shows the latest fad on a type of candy/lollipop singapore school children are sucking on these days.

Perfectly normal till someone discovered it looks convincely like a dildo, and when you squeeze it, a 'juice' cums, ummmm ..... i mean , comes out at the tip of the lollipop. Have a look at the page and decide for yourself!

- I HATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT -

Nowadays, everyday seems to be a weekend for me. I sleep real late and I wake up real late.

I think I'm a bum.

It doesn't help that cash IS running low. I will have to eat luncheon meat & fried eggs with leftover rice from next month onwards if I do not land myself a job soon

But still somehow I remain positive, for some reason. And the reason - I am not too sure.

This week it will be job finding week once again after last's week search counts at a grand total of zero (told you I was a bum). You know at times like this, you dun really want to meet ANY of your peers on the streets, especially those you have not seen since graduation. It's worst when they pop the question ," So where are you working now?" God knows how many pavements I have buried myself in after that.

But still, job searching is a horrible task. I think every HATES to look for a job because it's a very tiring process. One of those things in life that needs to be done in order to survive unless your dad owns a huge ass business. Mine doesn't.

This weekend however was rather eventful. I went for a interview with Comfort Driving School. God damn it was really far. All the way at Ubi. Obviously not the most creative of industries but there're a good things and at this moment of time, I do not think I have much of a choice. Good thing is that it's part of a huge ass garmen linked company Comfort Del Gro and it's not likely to go down as to what happened the last round. Still I do hear market talk of a possible merger of SMRT. Then again, that's another story.

Towards the evening, I caught Dodgeball with Jerrine, and it was a blast! I was really tired after that and decided to head home as I had not much sleep after Burridge's tech house onslaught at Zouk the night before.

I headed to East Coast Park with Jerrine today and commenced the Beginner's Guide to Rollerblading Lesson Numero Uno. I think she made great progress. If you reading this - WELL DONE!!

Next lesson, we will be doing turns and learning to stop.

Thereafter I am sure we will be doing stair jumpings and rail slidings. Kiddin'. I'm already sensing a thick book on the way to my head. The absolutely worst part of the whole event today was the way back home. I know it's sound mundane but god hell - the bus was cold and the ride took probably an hour weaving through small lanes and wide xpressways passing probably 10,000 vehicles on the journey to the west.

That's why I HATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
