Latest update: Forgetful Chongky is not going for REAL Run this year.
Archive for July, 2006
Chongky’s first climbing competition has been postponed. Not because it has been cancelled, but because we are withdrawing.
It’s ok. More time to train this way.
=)
Always look on the bright side of life. Or so they say.
Next up:
- New Balance Real Run (second one in ZMN history)
- New Balance Aquathlon (second one in ZMN history too)
I don’t care i’m going.
I discovered that it is true. What people say about WordPress is true. It is more user-friendly and comes with more comprehensive features. Hence i decided, i want to move to WordPress instead.
I’m happy with this blog. Everything that i think should be there are there. And the colour scheme is definitely much better than the old one (although i chose that piano template).
So do drop by more often and i will try to update as often as i could, with more pictures (all thanks to my new best friend, the gold Rzar).
Both Mrs Chongky and i are officially in love with climbing. It’s a strange thing that even though i always like climbing, it didn’t occur to me to try again in SMU. Neither did Mrs Chongky, though she has always wanted to try.
So one day i told her i am going for walk-in session with SMU Climb Team. Then she wanted to come along. That’s how SHE got HERSELF addicted.
I swear the bruises on her legs have absolutely nothing to do with me and i DID NOT turn her into a freak.
So here’s what we were doing at her brother’s school fun fair.
Yes we were climbing again, right after our sat morning climbing session in school. Haha… and no we don’t wear that white helmet in school.
And that saturday on the way down from Cat. High wall…
So again, here’s what we were doing at her brother’s school fun fair.
But not before the ice-cream addicts got their fix of ice-cream at the fun fair! Hee hee…
Strangly i feel so awake. Even though it’s only 7.5 hours of sleep. Wonder if the photo posting works here in wordpress.
Yup it does!! Woo hoo! I’m such a genius. Anyway this is my own cube. I have just migrated to the back of the office, hence the exit behind me. I would think this is a much more discreet location. It’s hard to find me, and hardly anyone walks past here. Now i can on my music louder while doing work without fearing that it will distract someone.
Did i forget to mention this is my 4th day straight working on report after report? I’m quite sick of database if you ask me. Even though i won’t mind doing mindless jobs.
It feels good once again to be able to sleep till almost 8am. Yup i do have to work today, but was simply too pig-ed out to gather enough conscious to bring myself up from the bed.
Internship is coming to an end, or so it seems on the deceiving calender, where one year is just a page length away. There is no rest for the wicked. This is my third day consecutive rushing figures out from database, without having clue at all about the task at hand. I have no idea what is the implication, neither do i know the meaning of the numbers i derive.
Everything is good in this company. I have endless flow of milo (peng / hot), coffee, mocha, teh terik - unless the machine is out of drinks that day, which in that case i can still go other floors to help myself. I have my own cube, my own line, my own lappie (fat bitch compared to my darling at home). I have little to complain, except that i have been doing mindless tasks all these while. I expect myself to learn, even if the stuff are too chim for me to understand, i would at least expect someone to shine some lights on these tactics and what not.But no. No one explains (sorry, generalizaiton, at least one lady explain in a very touching manner that i actually for that once understand what am i doing and the analysis of the report). Before people shoots me down for lack of initiative on my part, let me clarify. I took hell lots of initiatives. I am the first one among the interns to come up with the guide to jobs for the future batch of interns. I asked for permission to sit in in the weekly meeting, only to meet with “will get back to me” and that was a month ago. I tried to ask questions, but everyone assumes that since they have asked another intern to guide me i should know and i shouldn’t ask (with all the because of this WAH, IF NOT HOW people know, etc).People would trade their places for mine. I should be appreciative to land myself such a flatering internship in year 1.
Frankly i don’t even care.
I wanted to make my mark, even during internship. But this time i did try to fight for the chances, only the chances didn’t come.
18 more working days to go.
Ok i have a new pet. You can look for him on the top right corner of this blog space. His name is well, Zhng Neh Neh. Haha…
Do play with him keep him entertained. Lucky he doesn’t shit or create a mess, which save a lot of trouble for myself.
And best of all, i’m not worried that my pet will bite off my small toe.
Muahaha…
Update: Decided that i don’t want a pet anymore. I don’t like an electronic one. And it’s damn girly.
Just came back from salsa @ HRC. Reserving the comments to myself. =)
It was pretty crowded, and everyone was sure damn surprised to see me at all. Hee. If not for the cancelled canoe polo training i don’t think i will even have the time to go salsa at all. And i almost had my run, if not for my don’t-know-for-what-reason bloated stomach that made me so uncomfortable when i run.
Pissed off.
I want to run!!
And i still don’t have anyone for my publicity shoot for canoe polo. How ah? Don’t tell me it’s gonna be Chongky the photographer shoots Chongky the model. Haha…
Headache.
I watched Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift across the causeway in June. Don’t get the wrong idea. I watched it in the large cinema in Time Sq. Now it’s July and the movie will only be out in Singapore in August. How ridiculous is this? The time lag is easily 2 months.
Go watch it when it’s out. Totally worth the money, only if the sound system here is as good as the one in KL. I paid half the price of movie in Singapore on the same weekend and the consumer surplus is simply overwhelming.
Last Sunday i watched Rent on vcd (original kind). Rent was (no idea whether it still is) a Boardway musical, and musical movie is never my kind of thing. I can fall asleep watching Moulin Rouge on vcd. I can fall asleep on Rent on vcd too.
I didn’t fall asleep during Rent.
The opening act was enough to keep my attention on the show.
Same song by the same movie cast, but live.

I think it’s the “Season of Love” that caught my attention, but later on the other songs, the characters, the dancing, the performances all got to me and got me deeply attracted to the show.
It was good. An unique movie. About love, AIDS, poor artists. Nothing how deep the characters are in the shit, none give up hope and give up living to the fullest. The acting was superb. I was convinced the movie was reality before sleeping bug invaded towards the end of movie (it was a long day).
I’m not going to continue about the movie, for i might just outline the whole story next.
One amazing thing is how the majority of the original cast is retained for the movie, considering that the Boardway version premiered in 1996.
Try looking out for some of them.
Haven’t been blogging all these while because being in the office simply drains my creative juice (if there’s any to begin with) away and i don’t know what to write at all. Ironically, i only use laptop in the office (ain’t laptops supposed to be portable) so if i can’t think of anything to write i won’t have time to write them after work.
Over these few months i have started trusting friends and all. The other day a thought that i have harboured slipped my mouth in front of a friend and many other who were around. That very night i received a phonecall from someone unexpected. Needless to say, and even though it wasn’t clearly stated, the intention of that call was to clear the air and make sure i shut my trap and drop that unholy idea.
Frankly, i’m sick and tired of the way things are run in the school. Why did i want to start the canoe polo team? When obviously the practical question of sustainability hovers in the air around the businessmen who run the show. As the student population gets larger there will eventually be a stronger demand for everything that is part of student’s life. Yes i failed to recruit and retain enough people for the last round of recruitment. Considering the high cost and commitments since the very beginning of the term, i still think the effort was pretty good. At least people do come and give it a try. *consoling myself*
Another issue that has been on my mind since i last talked to JB is the politics within KT. He was amazed that no one talked to me about long expeditions when i am the most experienced person around and easily the best internal person to advise on the trip.
Everyone’s hands are tied. Mine included. I wish i could do more to help, but i don’t have that ounce of energy, while the others are not taking initiatives.
Just got off the phone with a new staff at the company. Don’t think she knows or respect me as a coach. I’m a frigging coach and i deserve just that sort of respect you would give to other staff in the company.
Kinda miss the days when JB is around. Actually Jeremy and Andy ain’t too bad too.
