Chance encounter

It's been awhile since. Looks like the intervals between posts are getting longer and more irregular.
Everything at Roomorama is going fine, although quotas are getting harder and harder to reach. But other than that aspect and the structure-less concept of the current company, everything is going well.( Although I should be more pro-active in my aproach)
I am having lots of business ideas and I'm getting a few friends in to develop them further. Most involved IT and apps development. If we can pull it off in South East Asia, it'll be awesome. The market have lots of potential and we definitely hope to get the first mover advantage. Let's all pray things will be good this time round.

Shot a wedding for a JC friend, photos still not done yet. Done a wish delivery for Make a Wish Singapore over the passed weekend and it was great! Got to go onto all the awesome rides in Universal Studios Singapore and have VIP access throughout all thanks to the relationship between MAW Singapore and USS at RWS. Everyone was like queeing for the rides but we simply just " cut " them and go ahead o the queues!!!!
But the price for a VIP ticket is about 6 times the normal price I think. The wish included an IPad surprise as well which we felt quite bad making the wish child cry a little because she was not able to solve the riddle we had in place for her.

That done, I'm now doing my ICT, thus my quota for this month will be badly affected.
And then there was the chance encounter last Sunday when I was shopping for stuff at JP. While I was exiting a particular store, I saw her walking in my direction and accompaning her was another girl. I was totally taken by surprise and I didn't know what I should do at that point in time. Should I say hi or should I just walk away. I looked in the opposite direction as we brushes passes each other. The furthest distance in the world is I was just there but she'll never know. She looked fine and happy. Nothing much was changed I guess. Still looked pretty much the same way I remembered. 4 years and 2 months! That was how long it took for someone living in the same general area to have a chance encounter like this. So so long.
I didn't know what to say, so I followed awhile before leaving.
I guess it's enough just to have a look and know that everything is fine and good for her.

I really hope you are happy always...

Mayday

Gave my virgin vote in GE 2011
Started work with Roomorama.com
Going for Jetstar interview in June

Now in detail.

This GE will be remembered as the GE of modern Singapore. As much as there are the cries of a need for opposition voices in parliament, the PAP still won majority of the seats. Statistics aside, PAP still has the say the next 5 years. This is the GE whereby it serves as a wake up call for the government. A modern society doesn't just look at economic progress as the only factor for choosing who to govern, it's much more complicated than that, and the PAP definitely realized it this time round. There may not be a next time if they slip up again.
The feeling on the ground is one of the people feeling unhappy in that as much as the head is leading, the body is trying very hard to keep up. and if a balance is not maintain, the only outcome is breakdown.
The new cabinet has 11 new postings in 14 ministries. Is that a signal of transformation? Does having a revamp of cabinet posting changes anything? Essentially, the government has done well and they do have track records to prove. I believe what people want is for the people in power to built upon those success and provide a more balanced equation of happiness vs progress. It's not easy to achieve, and achieving it will justify the hefty ministers' pay.
Roomorama, still have trouble pronouncing the word, is an online start up. I'm doing business development for them. Frankly speaking, I know nuts about business. But I guess I'll need to start somewhere. Been rejected frequently due to a lack of working experience. Therefore when the opportunity arise, I didn't have to think much, plus the conditions are pretty okay I guess. Two weeks into it, still not really settled down as they are in the mist of getting a new office space and staff, so things are pretty confusing to begin with.
The Jetstar offer came as I signed the contract with Roomorama. What great timing! The selection process is some what same and different from SIA I think. Let's just see where I'll go with this opportunity.

May is Audrey's birthday. Wish her a happy belated birthday and may all her wishes comes true.

Simple yet long lasting.

Year end

It's the end of 2010.
1/1/11 is coming.

The year 2010 was not bad.
Nothing really fantastic happened but nothing bad happen either.
I guess nothing bad is a form of good.
This year saw a pretty significant transition in my life.
Officially done with schools.

I've managed to grab my honours, second class lower division that is.
First half of the year was rather forgettable. Ashton's birthday in April, did a photo shoot for NUH in march, went to South Korea in June right after my exams. My D80 got fried while on loan to Andrew but manage to salvage it in the service centre. Hit the car's butt for the first time, which is still not repaired. Finally got my iPhone, although the novelty has wore off already. Applied and employed at Apixels photography.
That's about summed up he significant events in 2010.

Still at Apixels for the time being, looking for new job now. One that's more serious and with a better package and with a better time schedule. Plans are on the way in the making, so 2011 will be an interesting beginning.

Another Xmas come and gone. It was a good Xmas. I've enjoyed a musical directed by Derrick at his church's Xmas service. Met lots of long lost friends and it's nice to know everyone is doing really well.
Some are chasing dreams, some studying overseas while some have great plans ahead
good luck people! Lets work hard together.
I've got everyone a give back home, giving feels better than receiving. I just regretted not being able to return more to those in need back in society. I need to improve on that next year.

Got Audrey a nice gift too, but I've decided against giving it to her after listening to something Lay Kwuan was telling me while we were catching a movie on Xmas night. She was rather disturbed by her ex boyfriend who's not able to move on while she already has. A very similar situation to mine. I've always ponder about this. I felt that by doing what I did, I was holding on to a hope. But I wonder how she feels. Guess it weighs more when this was narrated by another person.

I think this is god's way of dropping hints to me that I'm doing something wrong and should change in future. Which is why I've decided to keep the present this year round. I may not be able to move on nicely, but I should never hinder/bother/disturb her with my inability. It'll only leave a distasteful mark in life, something that I know but hearing it from someone else somehow makes more sense than my inner thoughts.
So I decided to keep the stuff locked up in my box of memories. Whether or not I get to meet her again in any circumstance, I should keep it to myself and set her free.

Life will only get better if you keep trying to improve it.
I believe I'll be able to make a good future ahead.
