Dreaming (still) ...

My first time watching super band on monday. Got a group with a cool name - 迷路兵, lost soldiers. So cool!

They sang the song by gigi. Din noe that i like this song so much till they sang it. Actually they kinda screw up the chorus, i feel... Think their voice not power enough, somehow can hear they are straining to sing the chorus part and catching up with the tempo. But think their arrangement of the song is simply great.

As expected, the meeting with the engin dept gave negative results. They admited to those mistakes that i had pointed out (i mean they are all in black and white on the website, what else can they do) but insist they are not responsible for the content put up on the website. It is a guide only. And they are busy people, its the student responsibility to clarify with them ... ...

What can i say? All i am stating is they made these big mistakes (3 crucial mistakes) and since they did not inform us, they would have to honour it. Isn't that anyone with some integrity left will do? This is probably not the first time and definitely not the last time NUS is giving such absolute nonsense.

One of the reasons i feel they are adamantly not giving me the minor is because they feared the repercussion. They mentioned that the school can't gave us because they had already made the rest of my cohort took up another module so that they can fulfill the 24MCs. They will have a lot of explaining to do if they were to give me my minor.

Fucking irresponsible department, and i would say Engineering faculty...

The Bodhi Tree or Pipal Tree (ficus religiosa)



















I think bodhi trees have very strong will to survive. They always grow in whatever limited spaces they can find, eg in NUS on the slope. And they can survive all the nonsense people gave them like i have often seen people pouring milk as offering to these trees in temples.

Near my house, there are two bodhi trees. In between these trees, there is a newly setup tibetan society, Mahakala. I wonder if they chose this location because of the trees. The two trees are quite strange. One of them is actually two bodhi trees joined together at the bottom. Another also have two trees almost growing together, but the other is not a bodhi tree and looks like it is dying, while the bodhi tree is thriving very well.

Yup, i teared today. Actually it wasn't so bad. At least i know that my tearing function have come back after the operation... Your natural tears are much better protection than those eyedrops

Thought I would have something to update on my blog today, cos i had just went for an interview with MSD - Meteorological Services Division for the post of Meteorological Officer (Business Division). It wasn't what i had expected, I had expected more emphasis on the marketing techniques and more questions directed to my experiences etc so i would have a lot to tlak about. Turn up i screw up those few case studies questions about marketing their services and the interview was focused on the job nature. Nevertheless i was really quite interested in the job......

Memories are the strangest thing in the world. I went to JB for my eye checkup. Went to Queen St Terminal to tkae those direct bus to JB. And came back by the same way. While waiting at the busstop between lavendar and bugis, for 197 to take home, i look across the road and saw the parallel road behind, which 51, 197, etc will take when it goes to Bugis, cityhall area. I had no idea this parallel road is so close.

REalisation strike me then. I standing at the exact place of an event that took place a long time ago? (Why is it i can remember this very distant memory?). My eyes became moist. Lucky the bus came then and i took it. But now i'm in an pretty emotional state. Mabbe i should avoid that 2 roads temporary, even though i have pass through it countless times before. Strange that i happen to be in the scene today. Cos usually i would walk to bugis to take 197, but today i thought of trying out that busstop cos i had thought it would be nearer...

Or mabbe its becos the interviewer asked me why i did not put my father's details in my family particulars, thus i'm reminded... But unlikely cos whenever people mentioned him, i really din feel anything...

Mabbe i should mentioned the event. A father taking his son to cross the road in the wee hours after taking bus 51. Crossing 2 main roads, to reach the terminal to take bus to go to JB, so that his son can make his passport. And have to be early, else have to wait for super duper long, unless u r willing to pay 'extra' money...
