SCMS 2010 - Aftermath

5th Dec 2010 - the day where sporting world get a closer look on how the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore going to fare. We were fearing for the worst as any major hiccups will put the event a bad image. To think that this event was broadcasted live in the wee hours of the morning.

I was stationed at Orchard where the full marathoners will be starting at 5am. Runners started to come in at around 3.30am where they deposited their baggages. 1 hour before the race start, the queue gets longer but runners waited patiently to deposit their baggage. Singaporeans very kiasu and very obedient.

The race started at 5am sharp but the runners were not complaining despite the long queue. Amazing! By 5.30am, our area is settled and not a single complain was raised at us. And we start to head back to F1 Pit building for all runners to retrieve their bags.

By the time the event end, it was a major success that Singapore able to host an international marathon with 3 different starting points. The only issue were the distance from Padang to F1 Pit building to retrieve the bags and the oversized tee-shirt issued to runners after they completed the race.

Next year, I will try something new before deciding whether to be in the same position again in 2012.

Preparing for Twenty 11

Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year have not come yet and a whole lot of events are in full throttle next year.

Chingay 2011, OCBC Cycle 2011, adidas Sundown Marathon 2011, Men's Health Urbanathon 2011, Aviva Iron Man Trialathon 2011 all taking place in the first half of the year. First half of the year, yes, that is until June 2011.

So far my job scope is quite flexible in a way that as long the deadline is met, the rest of the day you are free to do your own things. Luckily I did informed my boss that I was into events during my interview and she accepted me out of other candidates without hesitation. In a way, there isnt much to juggle between work and events, as work still a priority. Events later.

Im not sure whether this job is meant for me in the first place, but so far my enthusiasm is still there. Customers and suppliers are good to me that they help me alot during my initial stages of career. Now, even in a team of other colleagues and bosses, they will still come and find me to help them rather than looking for the respective colleagues. zzz..

Coming to a close

2010 is coming to an end and hope to end the year as the same profile as I started the year. Though my goals have yet to be completed, at least I have taken small steps to accomplish it. It's really a slow and long process.

With a full time job, the difference between having a salary and receiving allowances for school is big. At least the burden was transferred from my parents to me which I gladly take up.

As 2011 is just round the corner and preparing to usher the new year, I hope I could take great strides in completing my goals.

This is the only resolution that I have for 2011, the rest can slowly wait. Not asking for the sky or heaven. Just a very simple resolution.

How it started

It's all started in 2008 when my Poly CCA was involved in community events like Zouk's Mainly I Love Kids and the annual Stan Chart Marathon. I joined the Stan Chart Marathon as a mere volunteer with no experience and was with my poly mates as a group helping out in the event.

In 2009, I received an email from the same events company that run Stan Chart Marathon and asked me whether I am interested to help out in the event again. It was after the event that I knew that I was the only one selected in the whole group. However, the responsibility given to me was bigger, but I still accept it without hesitation.

When I first started, I did approached friends for companion or at the very least, have someone to talk or chat during the events. But long hours, no pay and unpredicatable weather would have turned them off. Maybe I dont know them well enough, thus I stopped asking around whenever there is an upcoming event.

The very same year, I did the inaugural Asian Youth Games where I stationed in Changi Airport to welcome foreign delegates and athletes. The Asian Youth Games was a preparation for this year's Youth Olympic Games.

Right from the start of the new year, I committed myself to events wholeheartedly. As in, every single events that need help, I will be there. Chingay, trialathons, NDP, Youth Olympic Games, adidas Sundown, etc..

The most memorable event that is on the top of the list will be the adidas Sundown 2010, held in Changi Exhibition Centre. Shuttle bus, road closures, and whatever problem that the participants have complained, I have been through it as I was on the ground.

The biggest test will be the coming Stan Chart Marathon where it will be held in Orchard, Sentosa and Padang.

Waned Enthusiasm

This decision abit of impromptu. Work is getting routine at the moment that i need to recharge my mind and body.

Thinking of going Bintan for some beach activities, but ask people at the wrong time due to studying, working or have their own activities.

Now might have a change of plan of where to go. Oh well.

Count on Me Remix - NDP 2010

This is one of the few songs that make it to my all-time favourites for NDP. This song is a remix of the traditional 'Count on me' where it is rapped by Jay Park. Heard it quite alot of times during rehearsal, NE show, preview and the actual day that i find it tirelessly over the internet for the source of the song.

Confirmation

Ok, the confirmation is official now as the job scope will be more starting on 1st Sep. I am literally taking on 3 people job, which my manager say that i should be able to cope with it.

Not much info to blog except that i partipated in my first ever NDP 2010 as a volunteer. We have to go through a series of training and attend NDP rehearsals. By the time the actual day comes, we already know what is the programme at the back of our hand.

Next up will be YOG where i will be volunteering again. The volunteering bug have bite me hard!!

After the YOG, my weekends will be free and will be spending lots of time in the bed. With the additional job load, i guess the time to laze on the bed is justifiable. Hahah..

OneRepublic - Secrets



I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw wink, no
I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My god, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight, too cold
I don't really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, All my secrets away

New Proposal

For the first 3 months on the job, i was assigned to 2 buyers. After that one of them left due to promotion, but i still have to continue the job scope for the 2 buyers.

Now with a new buyer coming in next month, my current buyer is proposing to me that she could take over the promoted buyer's work scope and give the current projects to the new buyer.

What that means is that i might be taking in more job responsibilities and reports to do. The promoted buyer's projects are bigger, largest and oldest in the group, so by right, my current buyer should take over, and not the new buyer. My current buyer is afraid that the new buyer might not be able to handle the workload.

Now I am mentally prepared and anticipate for the upcoming changes next month.

Evanescence - My Immortal



I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

Birthday

With a few hours left to go on my special day, will like to thank all friends and colleagues that make it special.

Afterall, is the thought that counts.

Not a very good day as I literally stay awake to watch World Cup Final between Holland and Spain, and then left for work after the match.

Going to take an early rest after this post.

Bite the hands that feed

Now I have a rough idea who have been reading my blog all these times, the moment I confronted someone directly, the viewing stops completely.

And now I have the same person biting the hand that feeds her. Right from the start, I did not take that person as a friend for granted, which I fervently trying to salvage. I mean, look, even a 3-yr old kid could see that and in return, say that I dont appreciate her. What the hell?!?!

So she is willing to go to all extent to do that, just to make me hate her. Wow, I really have to hand it to her.

Since she so like to have karma in her life, I believe she will learn it the hard way herself. She wants to continue to lie and yet wanting to find love in her life, by all means. She really need to improve her EQ, especially on her Facebook and MSN.

Monday, June 28, 2010

Last message

It was a game of "True or Dare" that went very wrong.

All I wanted is to salvage a very simple friendship but yet I get in return are all lies. It's doesnt help either when friends are siding her. I stop the argument with one of her friends before it got worse.

This friendship is not meant to be despite 3 years of good memories. Even though I never get to speak to her on a regular basis during these 3 years, it wont change anything.

I dont deserve a tear from her, neither do I deserve this kind of treatment from her.

All the best and wish you happiness.

World Cup 2010

I am taking a break from penning my rollar-coasting life due to the on-going World Cup matches. Will be back after the tournament.

Wednesday, June 09, 2010

Cold comfort

I guess I have been way too optimistic that I could change the way it was 3 years back, in 1 day.
I guess all the memories in the whole of 3 years are all memorable to me, no matter how bad or how good it turns out to be.

No anger or a tinge of sadness from me, just feeling very numb.

Odd one out

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this picture?

Settled

I am more or less settled in my job where it has become a 2nd nature to me. I am not saying this is the perfect job but it's something that really suit my personality and character.

Though I need to report to my supervisor if I dont know anything, but she let me handle on my own, as I am dealing with customers and suppliers. The freedom is there, which is what I like.

Secondly, I can get to surf net, listen to music and chat with friends online.

Thirdly, my dress code is smart casual. No need to wear formal or office wear to work. I find that im just like going to school but getting a monthly pay.

My next aim now is to help someone find her smile and laughter back and at the same time, further my studies.

Wednesday, June 02, 2010

Belief

I am not angry, neither am I have the energy nor the mood to scold. I am just demoralised that I dont have the right to be a friend.

I still want to believe in her, despite what she have told me.

Dont Stop Believin' - Glee



Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

{Refrain}
Strangers, waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Paying anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

{Refrain}

Don't stop believing
Hold on to that feeling
Streetlight people

-----------------------------
Im not a fan of Glee and neither do I watch the series. But I find this song very catchy.

A valuable friend

If there is any regrets in my life now, I would say this is my 2nd regret. The first regret happened also in my poly days, but the effect does not have a big impact as this one.

No matter what I say now, I do not know whether it will be of any use. I dont even know whether she still remember me as a friend, to say the least.

Last time I told her that "I just want you to be happy.." But I never fulfill it for her. I was not around or by her side when things happen. How I wish I could turn back time or make amendment. I wish to be around by her side, but I guess it just pure daydreaming.

I have alot of things to tell her, to ask her. Like whether is she furthering her studies, or working full-time in a bank. I really wish to lent a listening ear to her whether she had a bad day at workplace or just pure ranting. These are just basic things a friend can do and will do.

I dont wish for anything more or less, just a simple and an invaluable friendship that I yearn to have. I dont want to lose this friendship at all, not even once in poly days.

I really dont care whether she is single or attached, I just want to be a normal friend. Does it sound so difficult?

If only she see this message..

Company outing

Nothing unusual or new things to blog, as majority of my time is now spend on work.

Last week went to Marina Bay Sands for company outing. Had fun but the heat was a killer. I was under the sun for 2 hours and enough to dehydrate me. Then the next day have to do JP Morgan Corporate Challenge Run at F1 pit building. 2 days same spot, same heat = immune system down already.

On Friday, return to office only to see a big mess. Cannot trust colleagues to do my workload as double work have to be done and redo all over again. Not fully recover from dehydration yet still stay throughout the office to clear the mess.

At this rate im going, it will be a matter of time of when im taking a long MC. Need to recover fast..

Steep Curve

It's been some time since i blog as im just started on my new job. A very different job scope from what i have learned and worked so far. Just started to settle down as im taking over someone, the transition period were also quite different from what i experienced previously.

I have to concede that the learning curve is much steeper than i thought.

Hope i could settle down sooner and get thing going.

Rascal Flatts - Unstoppable



Yeah yeah yeah..
Hey

So, so you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Cracked a brick when you hit the wall
Yeah, you've had a pocket full of regrets
Pull you down faster than a sunset
Hey, it happens to us all

When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And you can't see your way out of it

CHORUS
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable

Love, it can weather any storm
Bring you back to being born again
oh, it's a helping hand when you need it most
A lighthouse shinning on the coast
That never goes dim

When your heart is full of doubt
And you think that there's no way out

CHORUS

Like a river keeps on rolling
Like the north wind blowing
Don't it feel good knowing
Yeah

CHORUS

Love is unstoppable
So you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Love, love is unstoppable

1st Apr

Initially i wanted to give myself a deadline till the end of the month that if i dont get a job by that time, i have every intention of going into freelance events, which was an interest that i pick up lately.

But somehow, an offer for a job came 18 hours later.

Though i maybe back to where im best at, it will be a total different level playing field.

The job interview itself was a killer, took nearly 1 hour to complete. The only thing i knew was that my job agency personnel got a shock on what the company had offered me. Well, i gestured to her that the interview was worthwhile afterall.

The title may sound nice, but in actual fact, it will be cover mountain cover sea.

Going to enjoy my last 3 days of holidays!!

OCBC Cycle Singapore 2010

This is by far the most siong and taxing assignment i have ever done. The timing is super duper long but compared to Stan Chart Marathon, the duties were quite easy actually.

I was in charge of the volunteers and to rotate their duties at various places which includes the carnival, lifestyle village and the riders' cafe. And this is also the first time that majority of my group were girls. Wah lan eh! Trying to look for guys to carry stuff is just so difficult.

But overall i had fun and knowing new friends who share the same interest in volunteering.

Job-seeker

It's going to be 1 month since my attachment ends but till now, there is no job offer even though i have send resumes to job agencies, looking through classifieds ads in the papers and going for job interviews.

Funny thing is that i do have some job offers in sales and front-liners but i know myself well enough which area im more comfortable with.

When i first looked out for jobs, my initial concern was the coming OCBC Cycle Singapore 2010 which i volunteer to help out. I mean, i still apply for the job opening or to go for job interviews, hoping that i could start work after the event. But it look like my concern are unfounded.

Hopefully by next week, i will be able to hear some positive news. I have rested enough to start the new phrase of life.

Personality test

Another personal test that i have done on Facebook, in a way i find it quite true and get to know more about myself. Some things that i dont even know, perhaps in a conscious way, especially those points in what im most afraid of.

Below are your Personality Tests result:
Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : You are down-to-earth
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : People like you because you are so straightforward

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : If you meet the right person
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : You will fall deeply
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Beautifully in love

Your views on education:
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Education is very important in life
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : You want to study hard
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Learn as much as you can

The right job for you:
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : You need to choose something
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Go for it to be happy
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Achieve success

How do you view success:
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : You are afraid of failure
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous

What are you most afraid of:
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : You are concerned about your image
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : The way others see you
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : It's time for you to believe in who you are
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ : Not what you wear

Strange encounter

Yesterday attended the Chingay Parade rehearseal 2010 and i have a rather strange encounter with a girl at a taxi-stand on the way back home.

I was not eavesdropping as i was smsing my friends when somehow or rather, i heard the girl hinting something to her mum.

Girl: Mum, he is as tall as you lor.

I look left, right and behind me. Behind me was an auntie. And im the only guy in the taxi stand!!

Me: Are you referring to me?

The girl was shocked when i ask her that.

Girl: Mum, you see, he is talking to me.

I and her mum look at each other, and smile. The girl dont dare to say anything after that.

Next update

January have just whizzed past, without blinking of an eye. Nothing meaningful done for the last month as im more engrossed in my work than anything else.

2 more weeks to go and im done with my attachment. Having say that, the thought of having a break is perhaps the only door present to me at the moment as no doors on full time jobs at the moment. It also give me the answer where i stand in my current working place.

From now till the eve of Chinese New Year, i dont think i have the time to update my blog due to my work. The work itself is enough to snap my energy away for any activities in the evening.

Till then, wishing all Chinese and everyone a Happy Chinese New Year with a roar literally.

Trust

Is there anyone i could really trust to such an extent that i have no worries of breaching it? Currently i couldnt find that person who fits in this category. Those people whom i really close to, i could only reveal that much to them, and not all as what i expected or intended to.

I have talked to those people that im close to, and told me to interact, open up, coming back to Plurk!

But then again, i began to wonder whether human beings are really that forgiving in the first place.

Either that, or the best case scenerio will be moving on and left the past behind me. I believe that the past have made it a lose-lose situation for all parties. Hence the reason of moving on rather than staying put and caused unhappiness.

Can someone teach me how to trust people once again?

One step at a time

4 more weeks to go and my attachment officially ends. To be precise, there is only 20 days to go.

Anyway, the new year have started on a bright note for me and in the midst of accomplishing some goals which i have left untouched last year.

I have been trying to keep myself busy this month by going for some seminar talks and career talks, in a way trying to create more doors for my future path. But ultimately, it still lies with God who is in control of everything.

I am giving myself till the end of this month to see if there is any offers. If not, i might want to take a short break. It's been a long time since i take a break. Even taking a break this time round might not be a good thing given that the economy is picking up and companies are hiring people now.

Oh well, one step at a time.

2010

First post for the year and immediate thoughts will be some unfinished business that left lying around for the last few years.

6 more weeks to go before my attachment ends but i have actively looking for jobs through friends and agencies. Im not closing the door for my current attachment if there is an opportunity for me.

At the meantime, savour the usher-in of the new year and wishing everyone a blessed and happy new year. God bless!!
