It has been quite some time since I last updated my blog. Well, cos I was a little busy with my training at the Prison Staff Training School. Yup, I have been accepted to be a Prison Officer. Currently going throught the residental phase of my training which is 22 weeks long. I gotta stay in school from Mon to Fri and only get to book out on Friday eveing like a NS recruit.... haha....
Training has been quite interesting althought there is physical training everyday where there's lots of running involved (I dun like running....). Get to attend 5-days OBS (Outward Bound Singapore) course as part of the training and that was good although I goota to lay off some activities as I have injured my knee again *hiaz* Still remember the last time I attended the OBS during secondary school. It was really fun. I am glad that at least I get to go and join in some activities . Will try to update more stuff with pictures soon ^_^. Till then, tata..... and take care ^_^

Movie "不能说的秘密"
I went n watch the show directed by Jay Zhou. The title of the movie is " Secret" otherwise known as "不能说的秘密".
The movie potrays love towards music. It has a sweet storyline but a little sad in the end.... I also get to see some superb playing of the piano in the show. Might consider getting the vcd ^_^

New Job...
I found a job and have been there 2 months. Working as a restaurant supervisor @ The Simple Life (TSL) in Wheelock place and this restaurant is co-located with Fish & Co (Wheelock). LIke a sister company =)
This is the first time I am working in a F&B line... however, it's not the first time that I am working in a service sector so no biggie for me =)
Working environment is not bad although it is shift work. I dun mind the shift work though cos it means that I have time to run personal errands before going to work when I am working afternoon shift. Colleagues there are super fun ^_^ Pple at Fish & Co are wacky haha..... Not sure if hw long I will be working there though...
Before I got this job, I have also applied for the position of Prison Officer. However, as it was a mass recruitment exercise, it took quite a while to get back to me with regards to my application. I was asked to take a for psychometric test 2 weeks after I got the job at TSL. Apparently I passed the test. However, I suck big time at my interview 3 weeks later........ didn't know what to answer during role play.... =(
2 weeks later....
I gotta an email informing me to go for a Physical Fitness test (PFT). If I pass this test I get to go for a job preview (Basically to let u see the working environment)..... Thank goodness I pass although I seriously hated the running part (1.2km to be finished in 8 mins 40 sec).... My legs weren't mine anymore after tt bloody tiring run (by the way, I hate running!). Whatsmore, we need to climb 4 storeys to get back to the room where we first gathered..... Utterly tiring..... Job preview was a big eye-opener for me..... Guess this job will be a big challenge and a big change for me if I do get it ^_^ Wish me luck guys... Right now, all I am waiting for is to do my medical examination and wait.... to see if they will shortlist me......

Dinner @ Novena Sq
Went to Novena Square yesterday to met Melvin for dinner yesterday. Decided to try the food court "Kopitiam" which is located on the 3rd floor at the new extension building. Next to it was California Fittness... (hehe probabaly easy to attract people to go exercise after they have eaten too much =P). We ordered Pineapple Fried Rice, Sambal Sotong, Thai Style Spring Roll and Korean Rice Cake. The food was not bad but I feel that it's a little expensive for a normal food court. The rice cake set was S$5.00... It came with a plate of rice, the sidedish (kimchi n fried anchovies) and a bowl of clear soup. It is the same price as the Bimbimbap.... In my opinion, not worth the price..... =p would rather take the bimbimbap keke... well, at least now I know ^_^

Movie "Blood Diamond"
Went and watched “Blood Diamond” yesterday. It made me think how fortunate we are here and not in 3rd World countries like Africa. Hard to imagine, but yes, this is actually happening… not in the history where it happened twenty or thirty years ago… or a century ago…… but it is happening NOW like ten years ago kind of a thing….
Think of the child soldiers where their childhood consists of holding a rifle and killing anybody who disagrees with them… the fear of being killed anytime, anywhere or limbs being chopped up if the leader does not like what you do…. In our life here, we just get away with a scolding or worse probably a beating from parents or teachers followed by being grounded for a while or being forbidden to do your favorite things for a while. In comparison, the differences are a world apart. Totally different…..
Sometimes, we just know these things are happening… that this is just out there. However, it does not really seem real. It’s just a piece of news on the paper, TV, radio and magazines… but this movie really had me…Made me more acutely aware of reality… the bloody brutality the civil war, the use and training of the child soldiers…
Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of the chaos and civil war that enveloped 1990s Sierra Leone, "Blood Diamond" is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), an ex-mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories and their circumstances are as different as any can be until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond, the kind of stone that can transform a life...or end it.
Solomon, who has been taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields, finds the extraordinary gem and hides it at great risk, knowing if he is discovered, he will be killed instantly. But he also knows the diamond could not only provide the means to save his wife and daughters from a life as refugees but also help rescue his son, Dia, from an even worse fate as a child soldier.
Archer, who has made his living trading diamonds for arms, learns of Solomon's hidden stone while in prison for smuggling. He knows a diamond like this is a once-in-a-lifetime find—valuable enough to be his ticket out of Africa and away from the cycle of violence and corruption in which he has been a willing player.
Enter Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an idealistic American journalist who is in Sierra Leone to uncover the truth behind conflict diamonds, exposing the complicity of diamond industry leaders who have chosen profits over principles. Maddy seeks out Archer as a source for her article, but soon finds it is he who needs her even more.
With Maddy's help, Archer and Solomon embark on a dangerous trek through rebel territory. Archer needs Solomon to find and recover the valuable pink diamond, but Solomon seeks something far more precious...his son.

Will there b colors in my life?
Recently I have been doing lots of thinking...
What has been going on in my life?
Come to think of it, it has not been bad nor has it improve in any ways....it has come to a standstill where everything has been the same.
Friends had moved on... upgraded themselves in studies, getting married, having children or trying out a new avenue in career path....
As for me, I am still here.... not much changes except in size and age *haha*
Have been contemplating in a change of career path but somehow doubt if I will be able to make it.
Have been asking the BIG GUY up there to show me the way he wants me to go… somehow, he did not give any signs that I shouldn’t venture into that line.
However, if things really go that way, family and friends will be affected as more time will spent in learning new things in order to be able succeed in the path I wanna go… Family will not like it and my guy might not like it either.
Gotta admit, now I am in a comfortable zone where everything is just alright… however, not enough to color my life…
Finding my life a boring but comfortable station…… trying to strike up the courage to step out of the station to my next unknown station where there is uncertainty and challenges out there. I know God will be there with me though... guiding me thru' all the way...
Next problem is of cos, financially I gotta be stable enough to pull through the period of uncertainties that will come if I do take that step…
So here I go… to start planning and to start preparing myself for the new stage in life.
Hopefully I will be able to make it all the way...

Movie "Night At The Museum"
Ooooh.... if you guys have not watched "Night at the Museum", go watch it. It's Hilarious!!!! I have always been a big Ben Stiller fan ^_^ Really heartwarming too
Synopsis: Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley, despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he's destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how big, when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry's watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring exhibits, and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he's history's fiercest predator. The museum has literally came to live......
It's the New Year...
