Breaking news!

It may come as a suprise but I am going to go back to work at the ZOO!!! Haha! After taking a break for almost a year, i am returning back to the amphitheatre as an animal presenter/ token feeder. But this time round, i am hopeful that i would stay on for more than 2 yrs. At least until i complete my degree and find a new stable job.

I must say that i ended up going back to work at the zoo purely by fate. You see, today i had actually went to Tampines Mall for an interview at the aquarium there. I was hopeful of securing that job because of the amount of experience i had in the field and at the end of the interview, i was proven right when the boss told me to go home and consider if i wanted the job because if i wanted, i could start work tomorrow. But here is the drawback, to my dismay, i was informed by him during our conversation that the pay would be a meagre $4 and the working hours was a whopping 11hrs a day! After consulting my mum and babe, i came to the conclusion that despite the fact that i may be given the oppurtunity to help set up tanks for customers and potentially earn bonuses, the pay was far too low not forgetting the fact that i had to cover my meal and travelling expenses.

So i decided to let this job oppurtunity pass and decided to head home. But guess what? When i was at the interchange waiting for 72 to arrive, i happened to look at the queue i was in and there standing in line was my colleague from the zoo, Tines. So we boarded the bus , sat next to one another and started to talk. As usual, i would ask about how things were back at the department and he commented that it was bad and that they were desperately in need of manpower. He added that i should come back and work etc but i shall not dive into the details.

Basically, all i can say is that it is simply an act of God and fate. My exams had just ended last friday and today is the day that i went for my first interview. It's just meant to be. Well, everything happens for a reason and i have the full support of my family and most importantly babe so yep, it's back to memorising scripts! If you guys are going down to the zoo, let me know, i'll try to give u a personalised tour if i can but definately, the least i'd do is to say hi to you, welcome you and talk to you=).

Freedom!

Finally, the exams are over!!!! Woohoo!! No more late night studying, no more stress from being unable to complete all the syllabus no more sitting in the freezing expo hall !!! Well at least for the rest of this year. As i handed up my last paper today,i felt relieved that it is all over. I suppose that my papers are now in the hands of God and how i fair will all be determined by Him since i believe that some of my papers would rprobably be on their way to the university of london. I've already done my part by studying as hard as i could so it is up to Him to judge if i deserve the recognition for my effort. I really do hope that i can make it through to year two without a glitch but if things go otherwise, i guess i'll just have to accept them and work even harder. As for now, no point worrying about all these, lets wait for the results to come back then we'll start fretting...besides,at this moment, i've got more important issues to worry about and one of them is the fact that i have to find a job! Coolie worker for hire anyone? Everything also can do(including saikang). Haha!

Demoralised

Today was the POA exam paper and boy was it an utterly disappointing one. Yes i concede that i had not prepared enough for it but still that doesn't warrant the amount of dissappointment that i currently am experiencing. I mean, today's paper was such a far cry from the standard of the prelim paper! My gosh, we had 15mins of reading time and that was supposed to help but guess what, i literally din do anything during that period of time but ended up just staring blankly at the questions not knowing how to start. That really is a first i must say! Anyway, apart from POA, my next worry would be econs. Sigh, well, at least it is consoling to know that my maths and stats are still pretty alrite...last paper - PBF to go! Gotta work doubly hard to ace it!

Apart from studies, i've got several other updates to mention about. Firstly, i've signed up for the national runway cycling and skate 08' to be held on the 25th of may. It'll be the first time i am doing so and instead of taking up the 6km leisure route, i have opted for the 15km route instead! Haha, bet you must be thinking that i am over-estimating myself eh? But well, judging from the fact that i tend to cover long distances when i cycle, i suppose 15km won't be that bad. Afterall, i plan to take part in the endurance challenge which is the 45km route someday so why not take the first step and cover 1/3 the distance first? Haha. However, rite now, there seem to be some changes. Babe has signed up for the event as well but she has opted to skate and henceforth, she has put in the request for me to do so as well. Guess, most prob in a bid to encourage her to take up a healthy lifestyle, i would switch to skating...but 15km? ! Haha, it's gonna be a real challenge. At most give up halfway only=P

Onto my quest to be like vincent ng, die to the exams, i have suspended training for a week but it will resume tomorrow as the exams are drawing to a close. Giving a progress report thus far, it has been 6 full weeks. Slight difference in physical appearance in terms of a little more muscle in some areas but other than that, the difference is rather minimal. Weight now hovers around 60.5-61.5 kg depending on whether it is on an empty stomach or not. Still quite abit to go to hit my target but at least i can say i have crossed the 60kg mark!

Then there is the pilot thinggy, haha, it's about 3 weeks already since i went for the test but there hasn't been a single word from them. Looks like most prob it is a goner..haha.

Last but not least, i have to make some form of mention about babe. Well, at the moment, she is sick, with her runny nose and throat irritation. Then theres also the cuts and bruises on her legs due to her fall the other day while skating with me (poor thing). Well, i just hope she gets well real soon especially when her birthday is coming up on the 2nd and she will be leaving for indonesia on the 8th. Later sick sick cannot enjoy ah! Haha. Oh and did i mention that she is learning driving now? Well, at least she is now at the basic theory phase...someone is gonna be a driver too someday! Hopefully she can clear them all in one go then after she has gotten her license, i'd be able to ride in her car/ car driven by her...but not forgetting tons of extra insurance! Nah just joking..she'll be a fantastic driver ok! Just make sure she doesn't knock down the traffic police directing traffic can already=P.

So thats about all the updates for now, gonna find a job when the exam ends. Other than that, life is good. And also, i should be returning back to church real soon as well. Been a really bad boy...haha. Take care everyone!
