Hi, am reporting live from Tuas,in the middle of nowhere.Haha..maybe not eaxctly in the middle of nowhere,but it's far from everywhere except for m'sia.
I've got a few more days left at here,which is sad because I can never blog or facebooking from the main HQ like this.I have some stuff to say,so here it goes.....
Last week,I've tried to organise a gathering/dinner for my friends from the SP group.Sadly,all were not able to make it,due to many,many reasons.Some may be valid,some are suspicious.Initially, am quite disappointed because I spent some time to find places where all can sit,eat,relax and talk cock confortably.In the end,it amounted to nothing.More imptly,at least,she told me that she can't go beforehand.That is much better than being put off at the last minutes.
But i'll still try again :-)

In no man's land
Can't believe am stuck in a no man's land called tuas.
Now that much of my work for today is done.There is little left to do except sitting n blogging here right now.
In case you have been wondering what happened between the last post and this post.....there's not too much.
Now that am in no man's land.I am my own boss in this place.It does feel empowering to be your own boss and being able to make decisions. Is that what being a project engineer is about?.But with more perks comes more responsibility.If anything goes wrong,i'll be the 1st person to answer. But touch wood,hope that won't happen. But you get gist of what i mean.
I am glad that I finally moved myself n organise an SP gathering for nxt wk.Long time nv c them liao,though i do always c some of them on sundays.I hope it'll b a good chance to catch up with her because I want to "re-know" her again.
y "re-know"?That is something time will tell.....

My my,it's been such a long time i've blogged.That's because the turnaround in jurong island is sucking out lots of energy from me.By the time i got home,all i want to do is to sleep.
I've turned into the sleeping monster overnight :-)
But thank goodness,it's only for 2 mths,not forever.
Special term started last wk thurs.The lecturer quite a funny fella who's probably 30+ yrs old,nt tat far from my age.But he makes a difficult topic like differential equation a bit easier to understand.However,the special term lasts for around 1.5 mths,so it's quite a rush going thru all.Maths 2 seems difficult but quite interesting.
For some unknown reason,I am lacking ideas today.So i'll end here ba

Stress at work
That's a common symptom faced by daily work drones like me n you n everyone else out here.But it's starting to increase a lot because I am still learning about my job,yet there's a lot of expectation on my shoulders,esp my boss.Actually I am quite glad that he trusts me a lot,but the pressure is weighing on me a lot.If there's something I like about this job,it's that I am able to interact with many foreigners, as well as working in an exxon-mobil refinery.It's a wonderful chance for cultural exchange and possibly a start to go other country for church planting mission.
Sometimes I do think about getting financially independent and get away from this job and all.There's certainly gotta to be more than this.More than the stress and the about being financially independent.Several questions will arise and I hope that all will be answered soon.
Another thing is that I've been trying to reconnect with "miss piggy" after 3 years.It's too darn long not to take any actions and I have to agree on that too.Whenever there's a meetup in a gp,i tried to chat her up.But by the time i got to here,she's always soundly asleep....haiz.It's true that I haven put in much effort to chase her.But that will be different this year when I going to put in more effort :-)

The Great Juggle
Have you ever wonder tried to juggle 3 balls or more at the same time?
That is something I am attempting to do now,by working,studying and hanging out with close friends at the same time.
It's been ard 4th wk since I've started working.I thought that I will be able to come for the evening lectures on time once I am working in office hours.But it turns contrary to what I thought because my company office is in Tuas and it is closer to m'sia than NUS.So in the end,I always had to chiong and be late for class.In the end,I always plonked on the bed and sleep immediately,only after I bathed and brushed my teeth.I still rmb my hygiene and appreciated it despite the inconvenience it can cause.
As for work,I am thankful of the opportunity given by God because I am desperately looking for work last year after all the tragedies and obstacles.Not just that,but a job that offer me a opening to project management and process design.There are lots of cost estimation to make to handle but i'll be going to exxon mobil site soon to learn more.During the past 4 wks,I 've noticed quite alot of ladies working as engineers in the company.Something that is quite unusual,considering that it is more of an engineering company.But so far,my bosses,seniors and fellow noobs like me are wonderful to get along with.
With only two free days out of the 5 remaining weekdays,it is very difficult to meet up with rick,danny,cs and ky.Fortunately,we met up on this wk thursday.We met up to celebrate my bday by having a dinner at PS.I do wish we can meet more often and that yanping,nalyn and jiaqi can come join us.As for sun,it is a "rest day" for me.Not just physically and spiritually because I do need to take the time to bask in God's presence and recharge myself and worship him.
Well that's the situation I am in,there's more but this is the nutshell of it all.Do I see juggling so many things and becoming stretched as a liability?Not quite so.In fact,I prefer it than to waste my time like I did as an NSF.So no matter what happens,I am going to thank God for the opportunity to juggle so many things. :-)

Why does Yoda sound like the cookie monster?
As I am still thinking of a topic to blog about,suddenly i heard yoda's voice.Haha,Yoda didn't appear in front of me using the "Force".
It's just that the hse TV is on.I realised that Yoda's voice is very similar to cookie monster's voice.Later I searched e web and found out y.Both were done by the same voice actor by the name of frank oz.
I loved the cookie monster when I was a child because of his crazy cookie stunts,as well as the fact that I liked sesame street.It really made me laugh alot.Yoda is also another character that made me laugh alot.His english is simply funny like....
“Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke... Luke... do not... do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will. Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned, Luke. There is... another... Sky... walker.
Maybe I should learn how to speak like Yoda :-)
