日遊

My life after ORD has been pretty mundane. Mediocre, that is to say.

Thinking about the places I have been, I used to go Orchard Rd every week at least.
I haven't been for there for 3 weeks already.

Places that I now travel to often:
Lavender. Hougang. Clementi. And especially Woodlands.
Rotting my ass teaching tuition at Woodlands for long hours.
Money is tough to earn man.
And Woodlands Interchange isn't very well-maintained. There's dust like everywhere.


Just to share what my boss said when I left the Force:


武装部队教我的,远超过我所能奉献的。
人际关系、应变能力、上下级关系,都是日后在工作中所需要的。


Commanders' Coin and LOC.
This sounds kinda cliche, likes you hear on 红星大奖. But it's true that achievements are built up because of cooperations. I had understanding bosses who gave me chances and opportunities whenever they could. I had cooperating peers and comrades. I had great instructors who taught me a lot of skills. I had a lot of luck. And I had the motivation and faith in myself.

Faith can be related to religion. But it's a broader idea. One may not have a religion but as long he has faith in what he is doing, he is treating like a religion. Or at least his life philosophy for that particular period of his life.

The problem is, 有多少人会把 NS 当作工作呢?
To many, NS is like a chore. Which is true, without NS I would have spent my two years in NUS already.
But since it is something YOU HAVE TO DO, make full  use of it.
Of coruse, being a very very big organisation, you see loads of bureaucratic red tape, but that will be a learning experience to you.
Or even better, be someone bold like me, opt to change the system.


It's just like some people who complains about things not going their way yet not doing anything about.
I'm not passive. I change them. And you  guys should too.
If your government is CMI one, then go into that system and change it.
No point complaining and in the end still voting for the same party right.
You either vote another one, or you join the incumbent one and make sure you reform it from within.



Okay I came back from Hong Kong and Macau (shall update on them separately next time) and go back to tuition and driving lives.
Song-writing class was interesting, I'm actually quite surprised that I didn't forget my Grade 5 Theory knowledge at all. :D

Went back to NJ on Saturday for Funtasia '12. Many people said that it's a copy of ACJC's Funorama though.
Oh well, I've never been to Funorama before. The number of AC friends I have can be counted on one hand. So I shan't judge on that.
But I have to say  it's a bit expensive. Never mind lah, manage to see my teachers.
Like I always say, teachers are a respected profession. I like to kaupeh kaubu a lot, but I never badmouth teachers. Doctors and Drivers likewise.
Reason? I don't know. Being brought in a Chinese environment must have made respect 先生 a lot.
Mr. 孔子 must have made an impact in my life, I guess.



Sunday went to teach tuition. I am someone who likes to plan things ahead. And pack my time together to increase efficiency. But there were some last minute changes, I am not pissed, but it's a bit inconvenient to me though. :/

So I brought my brother to Paul's church. Hope he can nurture under His hands, like what I have been going through for the past month or so. Plus he needs to socialise. Being in a Boys' School makes him shy of girls.

Don't look at me that way. I was just like him in the past. Nope, I AM NOT A PLAYER.

Anyway I was really tired during tuition that I decided to take an early break. And on my home past Tampines I decided to make a detour  to watch  the Planetshakers. I had no idea who they was, Gavin and Erina told me they were really awesome and stuff, I was more than an hour late, but it was worth it. I caught only twenty minutes of the service left but it had an impact on me. Like suddenly a light bulb glowed inside my  head. Hmmmm it's weird to explain, but yeah I can sense it. Hahaha.

The drummer? I can't remember.

Okay all Angmohs look the same to me.
But that's not the point. The point is, everything was planned by God.
So just things be.
