Another Interview!

This is the one I'm looking for!

Interview for Java Programmer tomorrow at 5pm! With a chance for a long term contract after graduation!

If I am able to get in to this one, it'll be a good chance for me to get real experience in this industry. Not only that, it's also a test for me as to whether I'm good enough to stay.

*Prays*

Past 3 Days ...

Tuesday -
Had lunch with Wanhua at Lau Pa Sat. That stupid Neo went to Maxwell market instead of LPS. No wonder he couldn't find me and vice versa. After that, went for an interview for the position of IT Trainer at Cecil House. The interview was really good, and she has confirmed that I am employed as an IT Trainer under their company, and that I will hear from them for projects once the school reopens in late June. Woohoo!

Wednesday -
Had my audition at Echo Music for the S.T.A.R program. Sang the chorus of 如果你还爱我 by 光良, and after that Esther wanted to test my range. Sadly I didn't reach the high notes that I can normally reach, but it was still ok. They felt that I had the potential, and thus I got in :)

Today -
Went to GV Plaza to watch "The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian" with Haoping, Edward and Rick, and I personally will give it a rating of 8 out of 10. Had a mini pool game before going for 2 games of bowling. I won both games, and Edward owes me 2 cans of drink for that. Edward you A.S.K, you better give me my 2 cans of coke! Went to a restaurant called Waraku at Marina Square for dinner, and the food there was fantastic. And affordable too!


I still need to find a part time job!

And I just got enlightened tonight. I know that whatever I've done is wrong, stupid and unforgivable. But what's done is done, and the only thing I can do now is to make sure that I do not repeat the same stupid mistake again. And I believe I won't, because there isn't even a chance of it happening again. I want to be able to proudly stand in front of her and tell her that I've moved on, I've changed myself to be a better person, I still love you as much as I did, maybe even more, for the 4 years we were together, and I will fight for a chance to win your love back.

Please wait.

I finally have a reply from all the applications that I send out! I quoted SGD20/hr, which is the rate that I'm receiving from Reli Net. I wonder if they're going to pay me the same amount. Wanted to quote more than that, but only if I'm going to be teaching working adults.

If I'm really going to be teaching working adults, I'd be so happy!

Wish me luck in getting in!

如果你还爱我

我带着一颗疲惫的心走了

我知道自己在你心里已不重要

虽然我们曾经相聚过

也许对于你来说

已经没有什么值得回忆

我带着一颗沉重的心走了

我知道自己没有勇气道别离

虽然我们曾经拥有过

但是对于你来说

已经没有什么值得回忆

难道早以注定

不能真正拥有你

难道我真心付出一切

只为了承受孤单和寂寞

我知道你不敢对我坦白

是不要看到我的伤怀

虽然你没有说要离开我

我已经感到你不再属于我

如果你还爱我

你不会对我如此的冷漠

又怎会让我在漫漫长夜独自徘徊

如果你还爱我

你不会对我如此的冷漠

我只能含着眼泪

默默的离开

难道早以注定

不能真正拥有你

难道我真心付出一切

只为了承受孤单和寂寞

我知道你不敢对我坦白

是不要看到我的伤怀

虽然你没有说要离开我

我已经感到你不再属于我

如果你还爱我

你不会对我如此的冷漠

又怎会让我在漫漫长夜独自徘徊

如果你还爱我

你不会对我如此的冷漠

我只能含着眼泪

默默的离开

如果你还爱我

你不会对我如此的冷漠

又怎会让我在漫漫长夜独自徘徊

如果你还爱我

你不会对我如此的冷漠

我只能含着眼泪

默默的离开

To Gina, Raye and Neo:
Sorry for breaking down at the shop in Arab Street last night. It just happened that I had the time to sit down and think of all the memories that I had with her. It was just too much for me to handle suddenly. I mean, normally my tears only appear before I go to sleep. I guess it came out a bit too early last night. How long did I cry man? 10 minutes at least? I hope I didn't scare you guys, and thank you all for the support, especially Neo. I know what I need to do, but I just can't do it yet. Sorry to disappoint man.

For now, I hope that I can start to concentrate on my singing first by getting into the star program for vocal lessons. I need to learn how to control my voice! Taking my first step in improving my singing!

We Are The Champions Of Europe

It was a fantastic game! It had everything that a match needed! Be it the great passing, tackling, defending, dribbling, goalkeeping!


1st Half
Noticed that the pitch is really small as compared to those in the EPL. First 20 minutes were cagey, and nothing much to talk about. Man Utd had the upper hand in this half, and who else but Ronaldo to head home a cross from Wes Brown. He totally exposed the poor defending of Essien, once again proving the fact that Essien's not a defender, but a midfielder. Remember that, Grant.

Complacency took over Man Utd though, and just when they were about to settle for half time, Chelsea struck back. Ronaldo, being lazy, did not track Essien running down the middle of the field. Essien took a shot from 30 yards out, and the ball took a double deflection off Vidic and then Ferdinand's back, before landing perfectly in front of Lampard to slot home from 6 yards out.

Half ended 1-1.


2nd Half
This time round, Chelsea took over. Not many incidents to take note of, except one where Drogba struck a beautiful curling shot with his right foot from about 25 yards out, and it struck the post with Van Der Sar beaten.

Full Time ended 1-1. Into Extra Time.


Extra Time
Lampard shot hits post.

Stupid incident in the 2nd half of extra time.

Cech saw Carvalho injured on the ground. He decided to kick the ball out so that he could receive treatment. But it was obvious that it was just time wasting as other players like Ashley Cole and John Terry took the time to do some stretching.

Man Utd then took the throw in, and kicked the ball out for another throw in, while Tevez urged his teammates to move up the field and pressurize them. Chelsea, expecting Man Utd to kick the ball out for a goal kick, got mad. A scuffle then broke out, ending with Drogba slapping Vidic, earning himself a red card and an early shower.

What are you thinking, Chelsea? If you wanted to give up possession just to waste time, you still expect sportsmanship from your opponent? You can't just expect your opponent to give you back the ball the way you want them to. This is not a normal soccer match between 2 secondary schools. This is the Uefa Champions League Final. You should be glad that Man Utd bothered to give the possession back to you guys. I mean, there is no law in football that says that the opponent team MUST return possession in situations like this. It's up to the opponent to return the possession to you due to sportsmanship. But obviously, you've taken it for granted and think that Man Utd MUST return possession to you, and in the way that you want them to! And then what happens? Almost 20 players from both teams got involved in the scuffle, all for a bloody throw in? And even getting your own star striker red carded? This is stupid. Imagine what could have happened if Drogba was still in for the penalty shootout?

Think.


Penalties
Man Utd won the toss, and decided to go first, hoping that they could score and put the pressure on Chelsea instead.

Round 1:
Tevez scores. 1-0
Ballack scores. 1-1

Round 2:
Carrick scores. 2-1
Belletti scores. 2-2

Round 3:
Ronaldo penalty saved. 2-2.
Lampard scores. 2-3

Round 4:
Hargreaves scores. 3-3
Ashley Cole scores. 3-4

Round 5:
Nani scores. 4-4
John Terry slips and penalty hits the post. 4-4

Round 6:
Anderson scores. 5-4
Kalou scores. 5-5

Round 7:
Giggs scores. 6-5
Anelka penalty saved. Man Utd wins!


Verdict
I think it's the first major penalty shootout that Sir Alex Ferguson has won with Man Utd!

Great game. I'd say Man Utd deserved it. I pity John Terry. He's a good player, and you could see how heartbroken he was after the shootout. He was basically sobbing non-stop, and somehow no one could console him. But I believe that he is strong and will come back next season even stronger. As a Man Utd player! Haha. Well, he's a self-confessed Man Utd fan anyway!

Great season for Man Utd too. Achieving the double. Like what Sheen says, it's been 9 long years. Let's hope that we do not need to wait that long again for the next one. Probably 1 year will do :)

Mourning

Saw this message while I was trying to download some song albums from a China BT website.

为表达全国各族人民对四川汶川大地震遇难同胞的深切哀悼，国务院决定，2008年5月19日至21日为全国哀悼日。在此期间，全国和各驻外机构下半旗志哀，停止公共娱乐活动，外交部和我国驻外使领馆设立吊唁簿。5月19日14时28分起，全国人民默哀3分钟，届时汽车、火车、舰船鸣笛，防空警报鸣响。为了表示哀悼，本站暂时关闭。祈祷在灾区的朋友平安！

Let's all mourn together.

Loof

Anyone heard of this place called the 'Loof'?

It is situated at Odeon Towers, which is opposite Raffles Hotel. If I'm not wrong, 'Loof' is actually the singlish version of 'Roof'. Yes, this chillout place happens to be at the rooftop of the building, which is only 3 storeys high though.

It sells drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and some finger food. As for the price, I would think that it's cheap considering its location and considering how 'atas' the place is. The ambience there is fantastic, and you can just simply sit down there and chat for hours, which was what I did with Neo and friends.

The only irritating thing is the fan! It kept blowing at me, and messed up my hair!

But other than that, if there is a place that you would like to go to after a long day to relax with your pals, go to the 'Loof'.
