Yupz so that's about it. The 3 phones I'm considering. Haha. If I were to stick to my norm, I would probably get the E72 or X6 since I've been using nokia all my life. Haha. But the price is also important. Haha. Most probably I'm buying the phone without contract, so yea the price would be quite terrifying. Haha. Alright. I shall ask around more about these phones before deciding what to buy. Haha. No rush. But I want it so badly. Haha.
Alright next up in the agenda. Jobs. Haha. I've written up my CV and sent it to various organisations in search for a job/internship. Haha. They include:
- PSC internship programme
- NEW programme(a.k.a. National Environmental Agency)
- ExxonMobil HR
- Shell HR
- Jotun Paints HR
Surprisingly, all were super efficient and have replied to me. Unfortunately, Shell and Exxon only accept undergraduate interns. Haha. So too bad. Then PSC, NEW and Jotun all have replied favourably to my request. Haha. I'm trying to see if I can go for all 3.. good for experience. Haha. the 2 internships do not coincide so that's good. Haha. But unfortunately, the pay or allowance is quite bad. (a.k.a. worst then my NS pay) Haha. But then again, I'm there for the experience, so the pay isn't really that important. The Jotun paints one pays much better then the other 2, but its a full time job till june and I can't do any other internships on top of that. Yupz. So thats the down side of things. Alright, there's always one other job I can fall back on if every other job opportunity falls through - relief teaching. Haha. John, yewei and vincent is also interested in teaching. Haha. Mainly because it pays well and the environment is so familiar and good. Haha. I kinda like the TJC culture and life there. Haha. So I have absolutely no qualms about it.
Third on the agenda is a mp3 player. Haha. Or rather, it's more of whether I want to get an Ipod Touch or not. Haha. The 32GB Ipod Touch sooo nice and the price is really attractive. The 32 GB would be put to good use since my iTunes is getting really full. Haha.
It's priced at $468 for a 32 GB model and $648 for a 64 GB model. Haha. Very much more affordable than previously. Haha. So it's really attractive~
Alright, there's more. I have to discipline myself to run regularly. Haha. I've got 2 upcoming runs. First up would be the New Balance Real run. It's a 15km cross terrain run that's on the 8 november 2009. Haha. That run should be pretty ok since I've covered distances much longer than that. But the scary thing is the 700m beach run. Running on sand is indeed a nightmare. But cross terrain running should be fine, since I've ran at Pasir Laba outfield road sooo many times le. Haha. Alright then after that is the Standard Chartered Marathon. That's a challenge man. 42km. I havent run any distance near that yet. At the moment, the longest distance I've completed is 21km, and I've did it twice. Both under 2 hrs. Haha. So it should be good. Haha. Now to go for longer distances. Haha. Anyone interested in running with me near the East area please contact me. Haha. I'm running every alternate day, so yea.
Ok I've been watching lots of drama serials these days. Probably due to the extreme boredom in camp and at home. Haha. I've completed watching 痞子英雄, featuring 仔仔 and 赵又廷，which is damn nice. Haha. Quite a good detective show. It's about 2 police agents that are totally different in terms of personality and they are put together in a team. Haha. Quite cool and I think it's quite worth watching. Haha. And now I'm currently watching 幸福又安康, featuring 陈桥恩 and 蓝正龙. Seems like a really interesting show about a chinese herbal medicine tycoon, and how his daughter, son-in-law and grandsons want him dead, just to inherit is assets. And there's the tycoon's first love's granddaughter who's coming into the picture to inherit the assets. Haha. The plots seems good and in Taiwan, it's the top-rated chinese drama. Haha. so yupz, really addicted to it le. Oh and there's 超级星光大道5 grand finale coming up next week le. Haha. Really looking forward to it, although the winner seems quite obvious to me now. 孙自佑 seems like a sure win, due to his excellent vocals and drama background. Haha. And and there's also 李杰宇 who seems to have a pretty good chance too. Haha. Ok that brings me to my point. The level of competition in Singapore idol is soooo much higher than that in the taiwanese version 超级星光大道, but where's the standard? Many of the Taiwanese do not speak English too often and as a result, their pronunciation of the languange is poorer too. However, when I hear them sing even English songs, they sound better than many of the Singapore idol finalist (no malice intended). I've put up a video of 孙自佑 singing Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. Oh the video is actually part of the latest episode. Haha. The team is like theatrics and plays. Pretty interesting and entertaining, so please enjoy!
Ok another thing. I've started to read up on a few Chemical engineering modules already. Thanks Yanshan for the notes! Haha. The principles of chemical engineering (CN1111) seems alright. Not too difficult. But it's all PHYSICS! Haha. Lots and lots of formula and stuff. Haha. But still much easier than I had earlier expected. Haha. Many people have been saying how life-less chemical engineering students are due to the extra hard syllabus and heavy workload. Haha. From what I see so far, things are going better than expected, so pray for the best. I heard from Wentao that I can actually do advance placement exams at NUS even before entering uni to clear a couple of simpler modules like basic chemistry and biology. Haha. It would be a really good idea to do so as my course would be really taxing (double degree) and that I want to do an SEP, so I've gotta cram more modules per semester so as not to extend my course of study to more than 5 years. Haha. So I'm gonna check it out and if it's ok then why not? Haha.
Ok so thats about it for now. Pretty long and time consuming post. Haha. So till whenever I feel like blogging again, cya!
