Report...Party World K

After Thursday, a huge load of pressure will be release. The final report will be submitted and what is left is to wait for two weeks more before the conclusion of the internship. Writing report sometimes can be a daunting task. You have to write in such a manner whereby the reader understand what is you are doing. After many rounds of vetting, I still got a bit of doubt that my reader will understand fully. I mean it is a technical report and is different from a report talking about your experience.

Sometimes I will be bothered whether to include all the Java codes for this report. Some terms used by Java like Hashtable, Comparator are things that you find exclusively to Java only. Anyway, I ended up using my imagination to draft out something than putting Java codes in the report which is useless. My tasks is make more difficult with the number of projects I have done. The reports seems to multiple and is proportional to the number of projects. The recommended limits is really not fair to me. This is a very expensive report mainly due to the number of credits it contains.

Had a KTV session with my dar at Yishun Safra. First time the two of us sing together. We had the whole room to ourselves and sang for 4 hours straight till the voice is hoarse. She selected those trendy to latest song, while I selected those golden era songs. We had so much fun singing and dancing. So tired though but definitely would want to do this again.

It's Too Late...

It's Too Late, Windows 7.

Well, it had been a while since...

Well, it had been a while since I last posted. Today is the first day of November. Two more months before this 2009 will end. It had been a turbulent year for most people around the world. First fighting off the effects of a global financial crisis followed by the H1N1 and the numerous natural disasters occurring around the world. Hopefully the things will be rosier towards the end of the year with the festive season coming up.

Towards the end of last month, two of my cousins have got married. The pride and happiness on my grandma face was indescribable. Witnessing his grandson getting married was as exclusive as having a seat in the F1 stand. Wedding is always the place where you get to see relatives that you haven't seen in ages and the curiosity of finding out whether you have seen them before. The wedding ambiance was impressive with a nice backdrop of the city background; very seldom hotel have this kind of setting which is the usual "cover-up" banquet. The hotel name is Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. Before reaching, the taxi driver which my family boarded already describe the food and the ambiance of the hotel. Also, we witnessed the exchanging of vows between the newly wed couple and thanking everyone for coming. I wish them a blissful marriage.

Well, for my internship, is coming to the end. With a month to go, I will be wrapping up all my ongoing projects and the reports. The lunchtime kakis will the one I solely missed. They just talk everything from school,relationship beside work matters. The importance of lunchtime, is very much a short break from work, take your mind off everything. I will also miss my "Balik Kampung" kaki, whom we met everytime we head home. We chat over the ride home on food, NS, soccer and cars. Indeed, it had been a fulfilling internship without these guys to bring back the norm of social interaction and values.

Lastly, I hope my gf will be strong to pull through these difficult times at work.

Cousin First Wedding

Today attended my first cousin's wedding. It was a long time since my family side had a big event like this. We used to be so young and turn the clock a few years later, we are already adults. The feeling was like one by one, we will hit a marriageable age and the elders will start discussing the matter every year you see them. As the older cousins get marriage, you will be wondering when is your turn to be at the front of the queue. Once you are there, you will be wondering whether someone has skipped its turn and let you be in front.

Anyway, it is the wishes of the elders to see each child grow up and have a family of their own to complete the life cycle of growing up. Just like the old drama series, "Growing Up", each children in the Tay family will grow up and see themselves as independent adults. I would like to wish my cousin a blissful wedding.

The 090909 day

Mid week was a special day. Couples all around the world wanted to get married on this magical date as it symbolise "everlasting love" in Chinese. But this date also mean something special as well, it is my darling birthday. Held a small celebration for her on the day itself at Vittles and had a good meal there. Actually that was her 2nd celebration of the day as earlier in the day her colleagues had celebrated over lunchtime. It was a simple dinner but I was hopeful that the gift was the one that will be the special one.

Feel delighted when she said that it was the best gift ever as I have made which is a paper model of Doreamon standing on the Tong Luo Shao. Of coz, the actual gift is the one that she had requested long time ago. What a 幸福小女人 she is.

Sometime, when u make a person happy, you make urself happy too.

September is the peak month for me, everything feels so rush. Reports for internship have been left behind to rush the third project. Everyday have been Java for me and at times you feel sianz just like eating the same thing everyday and getting sick to it. But nevertheless, I still got perseverance to go for it.

I wasted my weekend staying at home all because of the Ops Manning, which mean being activated anytime of the day and reporting it to camp. But until now, nothing, feel so wasted that my weekend is burned for this event as well as to drag out all my army equipment to prepared for it.

AOH 2009

I make up my mind to go Army Open House last week and there I am today bright and early heading towards Pasir Laba Camp for this year army carnival. I was there exactly at 9am to beat off the crowds but still the major fun events only open at 10am. My main aim to be there early is to take the Live Firing Safari and the Combat Ride Safari. These are the two killer queue that can allow you to queue for hours. Live firing safari consist of clearing the mines, building a bridge to allow the tonner to go through and live firing from the primus.

After those rides, half a day is gone. Had a short break and proceed to some shooting fun. Played the battlefield where we are group into 5. Objectives is to capture our so called enemy(which is flags actually). We have to wear the Load Bearing Vest with the sensors and given a generous 50 rounds to fire at our "enemy". Fantastic.

After that, I proceeded to the Adventure land, where I try out the flying fox. There are many stations like IPPT & SOC, but I only aiming at flying fox. Wearing the harness and scaling from a height give me the adrenaline rush that I have not have for a long time.

Next, I wanted to try the live firing but it had a ceasefire for one hour, probably cleaning the carbon out of the rifles. But it doesn't really matter as I have found a substitute which is the virtual fighter where I try out the P226 pistol where I haven't really tried it. No live rounds but is a computerised simulation but more than enough for me to add a new experience for me. Pistol is very different from rifle even the handling have to held in a different way.

Lastly, went around the exhibit took some photos and brought a envelope knife shape like the ceremonial sword. Collected some memos as well. Also saw some of my old camp colleagues 2WO Karu and 2WO Austia. Good to meet them and have a chat.

Overall, managed to play all the stuff I have planned for and is a day worth at AOH 09.

What have happened?

Suffered a bout of flu for around one week, got two day MC which destroy the perfect record. Anyway, can't be bothered. Now at the end of my 2nd month of internship, it still feels great. I just closed my 2nd project and now starting on a new project. Still on Java, but already planned to use some new techniques especially in the area of using more threading and finding alternative to using hashtable. Never felt so eager to learn new stuff everyday especially the freedom I was given to do the project.

Of Coz, life have been better with Internet. No wonder they say Internet is the greatest of all inventions. My supervisor also brought me to see the depot of how the train is being maintained and all the driver console. Quite a high risk place considering that all their electricity run from the top. But it was a good one. Hope to have more of these visit at other areas of the depot.

Army open house is coming up, anyone wanna join in for some fun in there?
