What day is it today!?

It's not that I've lost my sense of time. Nope! Not at all! I'm totally aware that there would only be another 10 days till submission. But can anyone tell me if it's Sunday today?

I'm not really convinced as I'm sitting in PC lab 1 at SOC right now. Huh what the heck!? So many ppl at lab on Sunday!?!? Given that bus frequency is 6 times longer than normal, and no food around!? OMG SOC ppl are really going crazy!! (including me ~~ ... but sorry I've got a final deadly deadline to rush, so not counted)

Anyway, if anyone of you notice, we've got only another 5 weeks to go in our whole school life. The changing line is right before us, and just 5 more weeks, we're gonna cross it! Fun? Excited? Or sad? At least I hope all of us are still alive by then!

Wish you guys all the luck you need!

Back to the killing HYP report.

Busy Busy Busy Busy!!!!!

... V busy!!!

# of phone calls within today (and counting) : 7 (all v long ones)
# of average sleeping hours per day : 4 - 5 (still quite a lot compared to some ppl I guess)
# of to-do list items in a day : > 10 (not detailed one!)
# of pages in HYP report till now : 15 o_O
# of times eyes wanna close : infinity
# of days left till submission : 12 (SOS!!!)

Tomorrow still have an interview for job and a presentation for HYP. For the 1st time during 1 year of HYP, I would have the honor of seeing my prof (yes my official prof) under the position as my supervisor tomorrow!!! Eager! V Eager! So eager wanna freak out T_T

Anyhow today got back my midterm result for 4237. And saw this remark: "Good work, keep it up!" ~~~ hee hee ~~~

Thanks God I din screw it up coz' imagine how my 4237 lecturer would look at me if tomorrow he discovers that I'm actually his HYP student that he has never known for 1 year :

Last wish: can I go to sleep?

Intel - pros and cons

Pros:
- Got housing (hopefully)
- Got a new motorbike (most probably)
- Got sponsored for any shipping from here back to VN
- It's INTEL you know?
- Huge chance of getting promoted and a bright future. (being a pioneer employee is a really good beginning)
- Got exposed to new working area

Cons:
- Work in HCM city :(
- Salary not that fantasy
- Shift out from IT sector
- All alone

Considering all these, I still want to reject Intel. But the manager said he was so disappointed at my rejection that I'm feeling really bad about it. He's also trying all his best to help me getting over all the difficulties in moving to HCM city. Heh din know that rejecting a job is also this difficult.

Anyway, for you guys who have frens who want to work for Intel in HCM city, esp. under HR position (but i think open for other positions as well), salary around 400 - 500usd, contact me. I think the chance is really high if you've got a good background. This is their high time of massive employment.

On a side note, just knew that the PC lab 1 in level 8 S17 is now open 24/24. How come it never was during our 4 years here ... now when all of us are going to graduate, they start to have more good things in SOC (-_-).

2 more weeks till HYP submission @_~

How to reject?

Have you ever had to reject something or someone? Most of you have I guess :p

It's not always easy to come to rejection!! Sometimes it takes sweats and tears :-s. I am super bad at rejection, as I don't really know how to do it properly.

So what is the rejection this time? Intel I say.

So I wrote an email, telling him that it would be difficult for me to move from HN to HCM, and I don't have enough financial support. And this is what Intel HR Manager replied me:

"Please come to see me tomorrow. Prepare a list of all of your requirements. Let's see how we can work out a "yes" answer to the offer".

Any suggestions?

Oe oe

Just knew that my old highschool would soon be moved to a new location where they would "collect" all the uni and "national highschool" in Hanoi there :(

What would my familiar basketball ground be used for then :((? Where would I go if I want to see the canteen where I used to buy bread every morning long long time ago? And the windy balcony outside my class

Ughh I dun want dun want :(!!

A longgggg dinner

Had a very luxurious dinner at Crystal Jade today @Holland Ville with The Anh, Hong Ha, Hai Linh and Tuan Anh. Goodness sake it is really a very expensive dinner, ended up 150$ for 5 of us :-s (luckily I was the only person got treated by The Anh haha, or else sure die). So much food we could not finish and had to pack home :-&

Heh it's a reunion for Amser in singapore :p. All out of a sudden, but it's really a rare chance for all of us to have a gathering like this.

I must say it's soooo different going out with my highschool frens. waw feeling like I'm so blur blur about the business world. Gained so much beneficial info haha. Think I'd better start reading more IT news from now on T_T.

So the whole dinner revolves around business world, typically the kind of talk that Amsers would have. No crappy stuff as we often chit chat about eh :p.

Never went back until nearly 11pm :((, and tons of work is still there to be done ~~

Got criticized by The Anh that we gals nowadays look so much older than ... 6 years ago. Hellooo sir!! Who will not look older than 6 years ago? And then we all have to fight with life ourselves, all alone, in a different world. How to expect us to look as young eh?

But the truth is all of us going abroad to study really have to struggle hard with life. No family beside, frens can be there when you need, yes, but still, it's not like our family who would be there even when we ... don't need :p (kidding).

All of us should deserve an applause for our efforts I think :)

Good song!

It's been long since I last heard a new good Vietnamese song (so many crappy songs flying around nowadays :( )

Just want to share with you guys, heh maybe not your taste lor, but think this girl deserves a bravo for her new beginning.

She's just 16 years old this year.

And the author of the song, he's also studying under the same Institute for Musical Education. Guess he's very young too. The lyrics is so nice.

Introducing "Gia'c mo* tru*a". In English: A midnoon dream ~~~ Heh, making me want to take a nap zzzzz

Heo :@)

:">

It

I have known it for more than 22 years uptil now. Yup, a very long time, since the day I was born.

For all these years, I have been leaning on it anytime, anywhere. It is my support in any kinds of situation I'm in.

Sometimes I take it for granted, and I think it does complain to me quite a few times about my attitude. So how do I make it up for it? I'll run over, give it a massage, rub rub its shoulder, and oh well ... wait for it to cool down :D.

Anyhow, it makes me touched sometimes. Like yesterday night, I fell asleep ON THE TABLE while studying for my German test. Slept for like 3 or 4 hours and never woke up until this morning. And I guess it felt so sorry for me it was hurt INSIDE, and it was BROKEN ...~~

So touched so touched, but I feel so damn screwed too.

It is MY BACK! T_T

He

He's a guy with a cold look in the first place.
He never likes to talk a lot before strangers.
He appears to be someone who looks at life with half of his eye.
He's not that easy to get real close to.

He's handsome - that's what she thought about him when she first saw him.

-------------------------------------------------
He's humorous.
He's not cold, but rather, quiet ... in some way.
He's attractive, maybe bcoz' of his cold look.
He can really make everyone turn to him and his joke when he happens to like to talk.

He was the one she really felt comfortable with even when they don't talk.

-------------------------------------------------
He disappeared sometimes out of her sight.
He had someone really caring for him at the time. He din care for the person though, but it was enough a reason for her to step back.
He had someone else in his heart that he'd been locking up about it for a long time.
He shared it with her, maybe the only one he trusted enough to talk about it.

Her eyes turned to him everytime he stepped into class ..

-------------------------------------------------
He wrote to her frequently after she left.
He shared with her all the frustration and sadness she poured out being alone far away from home.
He told her about everything at home, to give her a feeling that she was still there.

She believed that she had feelings for him.
He believed, that he loved her ...

--------------------------------------------------
He had many problems in life.
She couldn't help that much. She was too far away.
No matter how hard they tried, she started to feel guilty for not being able to lend out a shoulder.
Even worse, she felt she was the reason of his losing out in life ...

She said goodbye, with a little hope he would have more time and dedication to devote to his dreams, his work, his life ...

Who knows, one day their roads may cross again ...

---------------------------------------------------
He is that type of person who always locks up his feelings.
He never told her how much he missed her.
He wrote her a letter, telling her to come back after 3 years, he would be there waiting.
He never sent the letter, maybe he din have enough belief in himself, or rather, in her ...

---------------------------------------------------
Time changed.
She changed.
She found out the love of her life was not him ...
He remains as one of her best friends, not literally, but more like in her heart ...

She knows, their roads would never cross again ...

---------------------------------------------------
Time changed.
He changed.
He isn't that quiet or shy anymore.
She remains as someone he believes he loves ...
He told her everything about it, he decided to stop locking up all the feelings for himself.

But she knows, their roads would never cross again ...

---------------------------------------------------

"In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something.

There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with... and the one that got away"

The main reason? The timing is not always right ...

Stressed!!

Just realized there would be another CS4237 assignment coming next week 8-}

Die liao ~~! How come so many tests and assignments!

Ughh spare me from troubles during this peak time [-o<

................

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie

:(

International Women's Day

So it's 8/3 again ...

The meaning of this day has decreased over time since I came to Singapore. It does not matter that much as when I was still in Vietnam, though the VNC committee over here still organizes celebration for the gals every year ...

5 years ago, it was my most memorable 8/3 ever. You may think someone special did smt special for me? Not a bit. It was the only March the 8th which I had to sweat from my head to toes to prepare everything for all the gals in my class during my highschool time.

So there was only 1 boy in my class at the time right? And guess what, he was sick at that very freaking day!!!! Left alone all together 29 gals in my class celebrating ourselves... Luckily, I did take over his place for him :p

So I wanted to keep secret from everybody in my class, and I din tell anyone about my plan, even Mai, my best fren. I din even tell all the other vice presidents or treasurers, and it took me around 3 whole days to get all the stuff ready by myself.

What did we have? A competition!! For what? The tiniest person in class, the most talkative person, the slimmest one, the coldest one (which turned out that my teacher won the prize :p), the fattest one, and some more can't remember all :D

What did the winners get? Certificates certainly (think my form teacher is still keeping the thing hahah). Then got cabbage, tomatoes, Vinamilk and even eggs, soap (!!!), etc ... Super crappy stuff :p

But everyone had a very good time that day, still remember how my teachers rolled on their chairs laughing throughout the session, and think my class was the noisiest in the whole school that day, though no boys around :p

Ey but not really, coz' always got boys from other classes who wanted to approach gals in my class, hence, as a class president, I no doubt took on the responsibility to receive representative flowers from them, not a bad deal wahahha!!!

6 years ago, it was also a memorable day when I first received flowers from the guy I was keeping an eye on at the time :p. But ... under the role of a class president too T_T ........

2 years ago, I received the cutest hand-made card uptil now from a fren :D. I'm still keeping the card, and still feel thankful for having someone caring for me at that time :). I still like the card a lot :p

1 year ago ... can't remember man!!!

This year? No memories collected yet :D. But at least, Mum will have a surprise, someone's sending her flowers today :p

Wish you all gals out there a great women's day ahead =). Keep smiling, keep shining as u always do =)!!

The tide is high

Projects, assignments and tests are everywhere, that is not to mention about HYP submission. Though I'm only taking 3 modules this sem, the number of tests seems to not decrease at all.

Anyhow, I must admit that this sem is the most relaxing sem I've ever had till date. No more freaking stressed games development project somehow.

That's it for now. Time to get stressed Ms!

111

Anyone can tell me what the heck the route of bus 111 is like?

So this morning, I took a cab to Intel office in Starhub Center for the interview. It turned out to be quite informal and I had a long talk for 2 hours with Mr.William, a staffing manager of Intel. Everything went on very smooth and easier than I thought it would. Anyway my first job interview, not so bad when it comes to answering questions on the spot.

After the interview, too lazy when I thought about walking cross the overhead bridge at Buona Vista, I decided to take 111 then change to 95 so that I could save myself from sweating under the sun.

So I got on 111 after waiting for 20 mins. Too tired and sleepy, I dozed off, but still aware enough to open my eyes each time to check where I were. After 20 mins, opened my eyes for the first time: Plaza Singapura ... Goodness sake it took 20 mins to go from Somerset to Doby Ghaut!!

Second time opened my eyes: Suntec. Hmm okie, still a long way to go...

Third time: Singapore River......

4th time: SOMERSET MRT!!!! Oh my goodness~~ "Am I on the wrong bus" I thought? ... And had I slept for so long that the bus had completed one round!?!?! Then the next thing I saw: Takashimaya!! *fainted*

So I regained my conscience immediately after that and tried to not fall asleep again. Decided to stay on the bus for a little bit longer, and gradually, i found the route was different. Until I saw Queensway ... *phewzz**

In the end, it took me a total of more than 1 hour to get home @#@#!$%

Next time, dun catch 111 @ Somerset !!
