Another hard at work week. Lotsa of new ideas and exciting ideas to be executed this whole month, hope I can get all of this work done in time for my next session with Mr. Tay. Most of the ideas were really taken into much considerations and of cause some uderstanding of the product before execution. Got my IMAC which runs great, this signifies the don of a new age for me in terms of changing platforms. Indeed Mac's OS x RAWKS!!! Well the decision was rather and expensive one and I hope I won't regret it which I made a promise to myself that I would really strive hard to achieve my goal and dreams.
Spend my Sunday morning out in town taking pictures its been a really really long time since the last time I took my NIKON F100 out for a sun bath, though the weather that day wasn't the best, still I got some images that would be of great use to my projects. Every little photo session trip is like a mini tour around the urban jungle in town, I get to explore to places I would less likely visit. Like for this trip I actually ventured much into places I've never come across, walked around coller quay's old shop house's back alley which slowly lead me to the heart of raffles place, that place wasn't anyplace alien to me cause it use to be a very usual photo taking area back in those school days. But what made me excited was I finally got to know where CLUB STREET and ANN SIANG HILL was!!! Got a glimpse of that so mysterious place, walked around that area quite abit got to know where the design house ASYLUM was as well as the boutique VENUE was located. Which I happen to stumble upon PARADOX MEDIA a design firm set up by one of my reservist personnel, it was just located beside the ASYLUM. A very nice place, would say its quiet probably I was there in the early Sunday Morning. Very nice time there.....ermm probably I would do another trip of shooting this coming weekend as I 've still got TONs of other work that needs my attention.
ORD is drawing closer and it just send the thrill down my spine. Well I am just gona do my best to finish my project and get everything done for my portfolio.
Just hope God will bless me and Guide me!

Days just pass us by so fast. Another week has gone and everything seems like a breeze, there is so much to anticipate. Work is like never ending always appearing on my desk at work, how I wish I had some sort of magic spell that would just blast them away to somewhere I would never need to see them again. I really really wish all this dumb ass desk duty days would just finish up fast, on my calendar I could see my ORD days already....haha its like drawing closer and closer.
So much exciting things outside NS is waiting for me and I could see em. Gwen msged me on MSN and she sound rather excited cause she got herself into the SIM design course which I introed her....well felt really happy for her. I know she would be cause this would be her very first actual design course, despite her diploma in architecture from SP.
Caught the movie Da Vinci Code, well this movie I would probably rate it at 3/5. Why an average score well its not a show that is like a must must to watch but definetly a movie if you are a DAN BROWN's fan or at the least someone who wants to know what the hype is all about in this book. Personally I felt that the movie is something just for a laugh, after watching and then forget about it. Well its like too much crap I would not probe much into it but still some of the things in the movie is hard to digest. But well my dude got pretty much offended by it haha...and the little hints left for the traces were really very nice I would say....an average movie from an author with great respect.

take 5
well finally I could get my break now. Been having a very heavy work week, at last I see some time off in between. As the days draw closer to ORD many mix feelings, well it just tells me that the govt is no longer sheltering me anymore, I am finally entering the workforce. Harsh as it may seem but its afterall reality that I've got to face.
Well embraced almost 1 year all by myself, it all seems like yesterday. The first day I entered PA till now in division and in 6months time its final for me. Never thought I would be in this state very. Once again life showed me how interesting it really is and how everyone evolves.
Witnessed the COMMANDO's 3rd & 4th COY's red beret Ceremony. Well it was really a feat, 10 months ago they were at PRC where my Mum put on the JUNGLE HAT for my bro and now seeing him donning the red beret it was indeed the proudest moment for me, even thought I wasn't able to accomplish half of what my brother has done I am proud to have him as my brother. They accomplish some of the toughest training SAF has to offer like jumping off the place, treking in brunei's swamps and finishing the 35km and 72km route march. That enough to gain any men's respect for them. Well cheers to them. My bud Ian was there to perfomr for us, haha showing us his row in his battalion haha, really an eye opener espcially the GPMG that they fired it was awesome.
Well end for today another week for me ahead at work, so much to do. Some pics to share.

one week of hell
Yea!! 1 week of hell 2 weeks of hard work is finally all over. That was a real feat General Election 2006, haha I can proudly say I was part of the manpower managment team for this event, though everything wasn't going all smooth sailing but we manage to tide them through. Lost about 2kg, work during this 3 week was extremly heavy, having to come back on weekends and at time stayed back at work to continue the job. Hope everything will go slower, hope nothing much would happen for this week except for the attendance marking and admin stuff that I need to attend to this coming week, they are tough but compare it with the event that just pass its really not that significant. The crucial night for us was on friday, I practically work non stop for 48hrs with my APO, we only caught a wink at around 0330hrs but we were awaken by the horrendous ringing of my watch and handphones alarm....from there we work till 1400hrs and finally got relieve and went home to do my voting.
Reached the polling station, dead tired I tell you. I didn't even know which queue and line I should be walking to, thanks to the staff there who made it easy for me. Hahaha, watched the elections results with my mum and was pretty glad that PAP retained almost all the seats. But my focus was on my own GRC which was won by our Health Minister Mr. Khaw Boon Wan and Co. immediately I felt a sigh of relieve.
Went to basheer bought the campagin brief, and as usual walk around abit at muji after that looking for a note pad and also a pencil case but there wasn't any that was up to my liking so went off the place empty handed.
This issue of campaign brief was really interesting, amongst the articles were 2 very interesting ones. I would relate the one on JWT south east asia, cause it had my idol and my critic mentor JWT's ECD south east asia Mr.Tay it was like a dream come true, though the notice to meet him was late, but I told myself I would not miss anything for this session with him as hes really a busy man travelling around and judging the international work, i just had to attend the session with him.
Well I am sure JWT in SG will soar to greater heights under his leadership, with his huge array of rich experinces and awards won. Went to his office on FRIDAY, it was my first time at an ad ageny got and gally the place that place....arghh I immediately felll in love with, Mr Tay came out personally to welcome and brought me to his office, well got some pointers as well as some critics and also tips on improving my ads. He showed me around his department and the works around, it was a pretty new office I would say and the works that I saw were much of what I just saw in Campagin Brief I am sure they are gona win some metals this time. Ermm really looking forward to the next crtic session with him.
The next article well they were saying about SG losing their claims to being at the helmof print advertising in ASIA. It was rather a very critical claim and also controversial, they took the results from the ADFEST 2006 and made the comment, well just because 1 award show they determine that SG was losing its foothold at the helm when the big shows like clio awards, the one show, cannes and D&AD has yet to announce or even still in the midst of judging their awards. Well even in the nomination list in D&AD thailand only had one finalist and there wasn't even any other ads for the publication of their 2006 annual. Well they were making their remarks too early. I agree with Tham Khai Meng Regional ECD of O&M asia pacific and the BBH Tokyo's ECD and current saatchi saatchi ECD's comment as its too early to make the remark now as all the big shows has yet to be judged. No doubt THAILAND'S upcoming agency CREATIVE JUICE/G1 was the most awarded agency with their TAIMIYA ads but none other ads, but in SG O&M had their fair share of statutes for their ads on the ANGLICAN WELFARE COMMITTEE. Well I would wish to see the results of all the other big shows and shut all this idiots comments. I actually had lots of respect for them but after those comments by them well it made me think twice about their character. No wonder they say this industry is so bitchy.

Been so busy the whole week through, working on the GE matters. Work at home were not anything sweeter, projects were stacking up high, so much things to handle. Maybe its because of the ORD mood I am in.
well its another long weekend. With the election going on and all...been really following closely to the different party's rallies and speeches, i wasn't never a person whos interested in politics, just don't know why I am following so closely to this one. Well I am pretty supportive of PAP in my GRC though I am not a person who really supports total domination, but comparing the opposition who is fighting for my area constituency really makes me worry not only for my GRC but also I doubt the strength of the opposition party who came to contest for the place.
Bought the CONCAVE SCREAM's album yesterday, well they play some real nice experimental music. I must applause them for their great effort as well the cd cover it was fantastic, loved the whole package. Haha spend quite abit from my progress package and the NS allowance haha.
Got alot in my mind to think about, have lots of plans in mind am still trying to sort things out.
Been chilling to this song for the past 2 days:
Artiste: SNOW PATROL, RUN
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
