Well, my life has always been the extreme. Always damn hard and complex initially but gets a bit sweet towards the end. Question marks on your head? Well some examples to back my claimed….
Instance One – Poly Days
I chose a Pioneer course (Engineering Informatics) which was a combination of IT and Manufacturing units. It wasn’t exactly hard but kinda feels like a white mouse being tested under the test tube when the course coordinators are experimenting with the right mix of units for us students.
End Results:
Got my diploma with hell lots of good friends whom I cherish even til now or the day I die.
Instance two – NS BMTC
I was sent to the most “siong” (violent) units in Palau Tekong. The units was Mohawk Co. in school 2. People have been telling me that the NS then was slacked with many welfare and no abuses from higher rank pple. Well, that doesn’t happen in my company; I was treated with break camps with thunder flash thrown inside my tent during my outfield, I was abused by uniform changed routine at 3 am blah blah blah.
End results:
To be a tougher man~~~~
Instance three – NS Units
Just when I thought I am tougher, I was sent to 2SIR. Further abused and culture shock happened during that duration, I would described 2 SIR alpha to be a uni and Mohawk was just a kindergarden as a comparison. Hehe, inhumane acts was carried out to train us to be infantry and lotsa shit work to do even after outfield exercise.
End Results:
Through hardship, strong friendship bonds are forged.
Instance Four – University
Upon reaching Uni, I was duped into taking 2 of the siong units usually shunned by students as my elective units. Siong it is… hard it is…. Those were the days I really slog it out to get mediocre results. LoL. After graduating from my bach, a honors degree was offered to me which I took it up readily. Again, my backside is itchy, so instead of picking easy research units, I chose a research topic which nobody has done before (pioneer again… sighs) and a lot harder. I struggled to stay afloat and luckily with a good supervision Dr Wei Liu (Thanks for enduring all my lousy grammatical errors and essay); I managed to pull it through.
End Results:
With many smoke bombs and hardship, manage to make it!
Instance four – Work
After graduate, I applied for my PR. Initially I planned to apply it myself (Wanted to save a few pennies), however as time passed by, I discover that the process is too long. I cannot find a IT job fulltime without my PR. Thus I started working in my friend’s factory. 9 whole months in that factory; I am happy working there but the prospects are just isn’t there! I basically wasted 9 months with no work experience. After I got my PR, I was introduced to Woodside for contractor job. It was good money and the environment was good too. However the learning curve wasn’t really great. I was panicky about my future and quite depressed over it.
Currently, my contractor boss gives me a good opportunity to work full time in a big scale Engineering S/W provider firm. Of course, I am very happy but I feel unsecured to the new field that I will be exposed to when the firm confirmed my application.
Hehe. This is just some timeline of my life to share with my loyal viewers.

The writer Anais Nin wrote that ...
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."
At least you know that at each stage of your life, you lived it to a state where you can now look back and be proud of how you handled it.
