Weekend is always Insufficient.
Haahaa... Another precious weekend gone. I have another 6 more working days to my ORD. This week, I aim to be more serious with my works Loads. I had been grumping about my work loads, especially since I had already make known to my boss that I will be leaving. But thinking about it, the reason why I had chosen to join Accenture is to learn as much as I could, before schooling. With that in mind, I shall treat every work given, as opportunities to learn.
This Saturday, I went for the pre-departure debriefing for International Student held by University of Melbourne at Hilton Hotel. Although I am a bit late, was lucky that I did not miss out on the Important stuffs. kekez.. but had miss out on some of the useful information booklets that they are giving out.
I got to know a few students that are also going there for studies at Melbourne in the same faculty (Commerce). I could not remember those who intro with chinese name. Opns… Sorry. There are Samuel, Samantha, Jimmy (who was once my company-Foxtort mate, during BMT) and... Oh Gosh, It is only one day and I can only remember just three names. *having short-term memory*. Maybe I can dream about some of the names tonight. *hopefully* =P Anyway, those that I had know, are all at least 2-5 years younger than me. I will mostly likely be the one of the oldest students in this batch. =X
Below is my outing today with my poly business buddies (Alex Chew & Cindy). Let hope we will all be back together after our studies to start up our own company =)

Disgrace to Singapore "English".
While there are ongoing talks about China "English", we spotted the following Broken English at Escape Theme Park. O.M.G. - IN SINAGPORE as well. I guess we should start looking at our own English, rather than laughing at China. It should be "PLEASE DO NOT SIT".

Fun n Tiring Thailand Trip
Me in Hotel Room (Thailand).
My Vacation to Thailand was a fruitful and fun one, but tiring as I only got 4-5 hours of sleep every night. I was either clubbing or watching soccer/movie at night and have to wake up early to shop and tour around.
I met new friends from Thailand (Ball "Bond" and Ben). I got to meet them thru my friend's girlfriend (May). Although at times, we had to struggle to communicate as their English is not fluent. They have been great hosts to us during our stay there, bring us around. It is a pity that I did not get to know them better due to the short stay. I definitely will send an email to May soon, asking her to forward my thanks to them. If they ever come to Australia or Singapore, I will be glad to host them.
Arh.. My body is still aching. I was intending to rest well on Tuesday, but was recall back to office. The frustrating thing was, I am only required back at office to verify, if the programming files which I had done is the correct version. (Which are not supposed to happen, as I had already confirmed my changes and version much earlier.) After which I am done, my cell leader started bombing me with unimportant n un-urgent stuffs. OMG, I am so Tired, Sleepy n Frustrated. Why does he have to do this to me! Got my rest disrupted and leave burned. Sigh... I definitely must rest early these few days.
Nonetheless, I definitely bought quite a number of stuffs. Eat, Drink and Shop like crazy… I gained 2 kg. =X

Friends Movie Outing (Accenture)
Pans Labyrinth Movie
On Thursday, we went for a movie outing together at GV Cinema, Vivo City. I had a great time and experience and believe they had too.
The trip to Vivo City was certainly a stressful experience, when the cab maneuver through the jammed traffic as the traffic light at cross junction was faulty. (Note: The traffic conjunction occurred because none of the vehicles had the intention of giving way or taking turns.)
The movie is great, although there are some moments of violent and gross. Although I had watched violent and gruesome movies like SAW1, SAW2, Resident Evil and etc, I am certainly not a fans for violent and gross. I enjoyed the movies, because of the depth, mind-triggering and intoxicating storyline. BUT we can never doubt that gross part will affect us emotionally and leave us with deep impression of the movies.
I hope we got have many more outings together soon. =D

With much expectation, I am truly disappointed with the project updates - breakfast.

Rain Spoilt My Day
I took a Personality Type Test today, and the result is Extraversion, Sensation, Feeling and Perceiving (ESFP). In additional the scores for the last three letter was close.
What surprise me is years back, i took a Personality Test and my result then was Introversion. Have I really changed?
Summary of the different Types
Extraverts; Define themselves in terms of externals - things that others will recognize and respond to.
Introverts; Consider their own view-point the arbiter of reality and define externals in terms of it.
Sensation; An appreciation for objective facts and circumstances, as perceived by the senses.
Intuition; An appreciation for the larger picture or underlying pattern, beyond the reach of the senses.
Thinking; The ability to make decisions impersonally, based on logic, analysis, and efficient tactics.
Feeling; The ability to make decisions personally, based on shared values and relationship.
Perceiving; Never feel they have enough information to decide, and may seek new options even after deciding.
Judging; May decide before all the facts are in or limit their options just to have things settled and off their minds.
According to the book, if both middle letters that are close, the person may be trying to please someone else, struggling with a lifestyle choice that does not have social approval, or adapting to a situation that conflicts with his or her true preferences. FPs and FJs, in particular, need a certain degree of social support to feel comfortable. Without it, they are reluctant to express their actual preference.
(Hmmm... Interesting, so I am a Feeler?? I Doubts. I prefer - Well-Balanced Person.)
Warmest Regards,
Alex Seah.

Monday - Fruitless at Work
"The Game" by Nell Strauss
At last I finished reading my book, The Game, by Neil Strauss. I will not recommend this book to girls as the book pretty dirty and definitely for the mature only. Please do not get me wrong, there are no pictures or pornography in it.
It is about a low confidence, bald writer on his journey into the world of flirter or pickup community. In the story, the writer used interesting acronyms / term like AFC (Average Frustrated Chump), IOI (Indicator of interest), False Time Constraint and Sniper Neg. Although the book depicts a very bad image of women, but had concluded with humanity and sense to it. You must not read the book superficially, one must think about what the author is driving at with his story. It is more of a self-help book, rather than a story really.

Move or Cut
I found a book "Who Cut the Cheese" from library today? My first reaction is (Hmm... New sequel from "Who Moved My Cheese"). After flicking thru the book, I felt cheated. The story is totally similar from what I had previously read.
Damned didn't that break any copyright? (Hmm.. Wondering?)
That aside, question for those who have read the story.
Have we applied what we learned from it? Or are we still relying on our old habits while the world is constantly changing? I am definitely guilty for that.
Fried Worm for snack anybody??

SAd sAd Day
My Sis went to Australia, Sydney to work. I guess home will be a much quieter place. After tonight tearful farewell, I really hope my mum can get used to it and not think too much. Especially when it is my turn to go oversea - Australia, Melbourne for studies.I guess there wasn't much of a choice to make.
Argh! anyway, I Embarrass myself today. Why did i make the choice to Resign/Tender on 31th Jan, just 6 more days after my completion of G.T.? There must be reasons, but could not remember why. Reason might be because of the 'MAY' award completion bonus term in the contract. I dun think it is just becos of that. I am going crazy!
(Argh! Dun Wan to Think Abt It anymore.)
Conclusion: BAD DAY....
Hope tommorow will be better. =D
Signing Out

Me & Jerry @ Accenture Office
I didn't expect myself to wear specs again. Erm.. Look quite nerd. =P
I am currently working @ Accenture as a Graduate Trainee (G.T.). Just hoping to learn how a software company operate and put the stuffs i had learnt into practise.
After working for two months, I found out how little I had actually learnt during my polytechnic.
I had definitely make some new friends, Willie (Accenture Programmer), Jacilyn (Future SPF Investigator), Danielle (Future Teacher), Jackie (Future Army Signaller) and Jerry (Accenture Staff). Nice brunch of interesting friends.
As for me, I had decided to further my studies at The University Of Melbourne, Australia for a Degree in Commerce. I definitely be away from Singapore (my family & friends) so quite some years.
Warmest Regards,
Alex Seah.
