I have went for countless interviews, but I tend to overstated my figures. Anything above 4 is like countless to me. Anyway, yes I have went for countless interviews, to the extent that it is effortless. I used to make preparations and write scripts for my interviews. But the questions do not vary much for the different interviews and I will end up giving most or less the same kind of answer. I went for the NLB interview last week. I went for another one at ASTAR yesterday. All is left for me is to wait for an answer from them. However, out of the 2 options, i am more keen to take up the NLB post. The reason is clear. I am no longer a Science person. I'm a Arts person. I spent my spare time reading great literary works from old novels like "Romance of three kingdoms" to works 鲁迅(Lu Xun) nowadays. I chance upon secondary school texts in schools and I teared when i read the touching essays in the book. It is funny that the emotional sensation has changed. When I was a secondary school student, the chinese textbook left me unfazed. Now, i feel it in those stories. I'm feeling the story, not just simply reading it. I love reading this much. What better way to express my love for Chinese than to be engaged in a profession that allows me to work with books.

It will be fulfiling to me, through my efforts, that people start to aprreciate Chinese and stop having the wrong attitude towards Chinese. Chinese is not a tool for people to do business in China. That is just superficial. My own experience tells me that the love for the language is nurtured without conscious effort through the exposure to the different aspects of the chinese culture. It comes in a package, and one thing inevitably leads to another. I look forward to the day that I become a librarian.

King of Canto Pop

Sam Hui's holding a concert in Singapore on March. I doubt anyone of my age listens to his songs anymore. He may be an icon of the past but that does not devalue his songs. I find his songs to be nice and funny most of the times. The humour is in his lyrics, listen closely and you might realise how true his words reflect reality, at the same time laugh at how he cleverly pokes fun at the harsh world of cold cash devoid of the human touch of love. i won't want to miss the chance to listen to his songs live. Sam Hui's work is timeless and not something to be dismissed off. I wonder who can appreciate it with me. Hope I can find company, its too miserable to go on my own. Just check out this sistic website about the concert.

When i'm gone, would anyone feel it? Would anyone knows or discerns the difference? Would anyone wept or maybe cheer? I'm just a speck of dust in this large world. I'm insignificant. What difference would it have made? It will still be the same. Nothing changes. No one felt any difference. It will just move on.....

29th Jan which means 2 more days to 31st Jan. As the date to my last day in school draws closer, I hardly felt anything about it. This can be attributed to my current health condition. Been coughing.... bad cough...felt that my lungs might be coughed out any moment. During my teaching stint, I'm vulnerable to coughing. It comes and goes. I could hardly be spared from the clutches of the bug which is BUGGING me now. No mood for anything. Just want to get well soon. 31st Jan or no 31st Jan, it doesn't matter. It doesn't mean anything to me, even it does spell the end of my teaching career. I just want to get well, that's all I care.

The act of buying something, be it big or small, is spirit-lifting and brings joy. I cannot explain the effects of shopping for me, but i noe just one thing, i feel good. Its like the purchasing power u have and the decisions u make you feel so alive again. U feel like a living person, not Dead, once u shop! And it may not just be shopping for clothes, it can be anything. Shop and save marts give me the same satisfaction that i can get. Its just crazy that i would be so happy when i'm in shop and save, buying food stufs like tidbit, sweets, chocolates. When i touch the packet of potato chips, i feel that this is all to life. Wa ha ha! I think i'm just plain insane!

I hate sales-based jobs....really really dislike sales. I don't buy the idea of convincing someone to get something. I am against the nature of sales. I prefer to provide a service. I like a sales promoter whom i approach instead and ask for recommendations. Then he answers my needs by matching wat i'm looking for and wat the product offers, not push around his goods to me which i dont even need! Still got sales target to meet and commission-based pay. Such unstable incomes that depends on how much u manage to sell at the end of the day. Crazy........"incentives" like that push sales people to desperate states. Explains sales people r so crazy and persistent in getting their stuffs offload to their customer. Wat losers! Come on people, if i need something, i will approach u! if i dont need anything, no matter how much u say, i still won't need it. The only reason i will buy it is to just please u so that u dont harrass me anymore. Stop harrassing me, u fleas..vermins.... pests!

I kind of miss her, now she's not there at her table. It's taken up by someone else. It feels awkward that when i look in the direction of where she used to sit, i see someone else instead. Miss the every morning warm greetings we had for each other... miss the lunch breaks together....miss the stuffs we did together.... it feels so different without her around.

Hairspray Music Video

Another Hairspray song! Good song to listen in the morning before going to work. 93.3 FM used that song too, it's changed to Good Morning, Singapore!

Without love (Hairspray)

I like this song, from the movie, a musical called Hairspray. Starring the big star from High School Musical, Zac Efron. Ever since I watched High School Musical, I really like to watch musicals
