Been 2 weeks at work. It has been a great experience in the banking sector. Colleagues are nice and my boss is exceptional. Hope that it will be a good start for my career in the financial field. Everyday is a really good learning experience for me and times do flies fast everyday.
Yesterday was a great night hanging out with my OCS platoon mate. It is great to meet up, catch up with each other progress and drinking along the way in a nice cosy hotel room. Well, it is of course none other then Weiyue’s bachelor night. Plenty of stupid drinking games, purpose is to let Weiyue drink and puke. Haha… Everyone has fun.
From our conversation, I can feel that everyone has mature and grown over the years since we last know each other in OCS. Now, our topics are about buying houses, marriage, having kids, our career… things just change so much. Glad to see and know that everyone is doing really well and moving own to another stage in life. I can imagine when we all get married and have our own family, we will have a lot more topic to talk about… 
30th September 2003 marks the day I enlisted to Army… 30th September 2009 marks the day I leave the Army… Such a coincidence… 6 years apart I am finally an NSmen.
Been great in the Army in before I disrupt… training and going through all the shit with my beloved Charlie platoon 2 guys… not forgetting the good 8 weeks in BMTC where I meet some great guys… Life as a trainee sucks but memorable… Life as an Officer is great but not as memorable as before…
After OCS life kind of changes. I am posted to a battalion while most of my best buddies goes to BMTC to become instructors… Lucky to know some great friends and bonds are forge from fighting against our bosses… haha… Nevertheless, I lead my own life an an Army officer e and manage to learn and grow till I disrupted for studies in NTU…
4 years in NTU, a long journey… A lot of things happens… good and bad… found my life partner… lost a love one… people has changes, environment has changed… Guess this is the way of life and I manange to grow again and mature through the years…
Back to Army in May this year to finish up my service… Lucky to be posted to NDP to help on the Multimedia team… This time round, my mentality changes as I work in a more professional and mature way… Not having the bossy officer statue before… Nevertheless, I am working with people of age 19 to early 20s (Those who just enlisted)… kind of need to lead them along with my experience and professionalism.
Now, I have officially ORDed. It is now time to really embark a my next phases of life… To work hard and to get married and built my own family… Well, first of all is still to find a job… I have think though well enough throughout this 4 .5mths of National Services… It is time that I seek new experience and challenges by working in a different sector. If my skills in media can help in increasing value in my job, that will be a bonus… Nevertheless, my 7 years of media education has not just give me the skills and knowledge in multimedia, but also provide me the mental and mindset to lead, handle problems, make decision and mange people in all aspect of life.
Yeah, manage to strike out another 2 item from my wishlist… shiok… but… the 1st one seems hard to strike… haha… damn… How I wish that would be strike off within this month… but nevertheless… the year is coming to an end soon… My new year resolution… I already shot one things down… cos I totally never do it… haha… the other 2, one of which can’t be done if my no.1 wishlist is not stirke out… the other one… ok lah… consider not bad… but below average performance… haha… lazy me…
For the first time after graduation, I have finally sent out my first resume out for a media job at Media Development Authority. For the first time, I have finally got myself back to face the media industry.
In year 2000, I started my education in media training. Since then, I have already been in this industry for 7 years. It is a long journey. I was packing my shelves and saw some of my kindergarten report card, primary school report book, polytechnic application letters, newsletter, etc… I can’t believe I kept so many of those things. Though it might be useless to most people but to me is kind of sentimental to keep all of those things. It makes me thinks of the moment I receive the letter of acceptance to the school and courses that I wanted to go… the feeling was great! Better then tio TOTO or 4D…. haha…
I took a quick glance of what I have applied for polytechnic, 1st choice is Multimedia, then comes IT then electronics, BUSINESS!?! never cross my mind before… haha… It is kind of weird that only until now that I started wanted to go into this industry, to be frank for the sake of money.
This week I have a lot of time to reflect, and yes I have cleared my doubts about what I really want in life! Early this year, when I think of graduating and getting a job, I tell myself what I want is to lead a good life and to do that I must have a lot of money, thus striking me to think of moving out this media industry to financial sector where the money lies… However, I was wrong… wrong in the way that money blinds me…
Now, I got to re-program my mind… What do I really want in life?
Lead a comfortable life free from financial burden – To be able to spent with ease without worries.
A balance work and social life – To be able to spent time with my family and friends. Working hard and playing harder.
Job satisfaction – Nothing beats having job satisfaction at work where you are respected on what you do. No point earning a lot yet I get nothing in value… Then I am a slave for money… That must not be the way…
I have still a few business related job on hand, waiting to be called. However, I really hope that MDA will call me so as to give myself an opportunity to bring myself back to the dynamic and colorful industry that I once love…
Did this test quite some time ago… it is really true about me where I did not even notice myself… kind of a good self reflection of who I really am…

You are very ambitious and because you seek and need recognition, you try in your own way to impress people and you want to be looked up to – to be both popular and admired. You feel that there is a gap, which separates you from your fellow man, or woman as the case may be, but this anxiety is an unnecessary one. Keep on the way you are going and you may surprise yourself.
You are a very warm and emotional individual but unfortunately in the past too many people have taken advantage of this sensitive trait. You need aesthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm understanding.
You are confined and trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way out. Whatever you seem to do to resolve the problem hasn’t worked out. Fortunately you are able to gain some aspect of relief from someone close to you.
You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.
You are trying to build up your own position and you resist all external influences. You insist that you are your own person and you will not tolerate any outside interference. Decisive and proud, you are true managerial material.
