Lexus and the Olive Tree

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

My GP tutor highly recommended this book during my JC days, but at that time I really just did not have the interest to read it. It may be the right decision after all, now that I am reading it, as I have some knowledge of the fundmentals in economics, thanks to Li Heng for providing me his A level notes. At least things make sense to me now, when Thomas Friedman describes how several Asian economies crashed into crisis in 1997. Though i did not take up Economics back in JC days, I am trying my best to learn as much of it. It’s vital, or rather, one cannot do without a certain level of understanding of Economics. For those who want to know more about globalisation, how exactly it started, and how to survive in such a globalised world, Lexus and the Olive Tree is the top pick.

For people like me who prefers to borrow books, this book is available in most libraries, except that most are always on loan. FRI - 337.

finding a job 1

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

i figured that i wun find a job so soon..yep so hence the title..lol..my day has been crappy…it started with this ad i noticed in the papers..this waiter offer at this jap restaurant just opposite my house! went down at 3pm to take a look but i cun find the shop! omg! then i tried to sign up as a tuition teacher with an agency at this online site which kenny gave, a bit phoney sia cos when i completed everything it says "ur session has ended, pls relogin" er wth…

i also tried to register myself as a relief teacher but i have so much problems with the registration form! spent like 40min filling it up again and again..*sigh* in the end i had to enlist the help of emily which took another 55 min or so..and 50% of my first pay will go to her..lol

this morn i accompanied grandma to the fitness corner..apparently she likes to exercise…and i m actually qte surprised to see that she’s actualli qte strong in the arms..ahahZ..and i feel good too…feel filial…can;t help but smile at her while she’s at the different fitness stations..anyway i m supposed to go for ahsco cello gathering later in the evening..but last minute so many people have sth on..err…dunno whether i shd go not..cos most of the people i know not going le.haiz…or shd i make the trip down to tampines to watch soccer? still undecided..ahahhaz.

ORD lo

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

yep 15 march came and passed just like that! din sleep well the previous night, dun know whether it’s because i m too excited or what! lol..anyway went back to camp at around 1.30pm..just nice! everyone was around…so i could get the remaining signatures rather easily..din see any of my platoon mates around except for lim yan..the rest in the KINs..left camp at around 2pm..once i reached home, i din really stay for too long…after eating some rice with a bit of fish, i rushed off to dwin’s house to pass him HIS psu. chatted with him for a while be4 i left for tampines..

a few things to do at tamp..headed to library to see if i can get my hands on the book Lexus and the Olive Tree, the book that Mr Tong highly recommended..a wasted trip though, but i expected it cos i know it’s on loan..then went to have dinner with jieying, she did behave rather strangely under influence of alcohol..Lastly went back to my old house to open the letter box..nothing there..haha..so i went back empty-handed…no letter no books..lol…

ORD is just another ordinary day..no surprises..no nothing…yepz.

last week!

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

hoho what have i been up to? err sad to say not very productive..ahahZ..wait till ORD then i ll look for a job..

went for cycling at ecp on mon with my platoon mates…they are really mad…cycle all the way to the eastern end of ecp and we almost cycled to SAF ferry terminal only to find that there’s no path to cycle there. took bus 196 back home from parkway parade..i like taking buses home now..cos i can enjoy nice scenery of the city…

oh i think i din mention that i play maplestory..ahahz..many think it’s a stupid and childish game..err whatever lah..just got my zhu-ge-liang wand or wu sun as it is called previously..hehe..my fav character in romance of the 3 kingdoms, of course i must own this wand!

lastly, if there are any bored people out there like me, and wanna refresh their maths stuff, try this…

Evaluate

2/(1X2X3) + 2/(2X3X4) + 2/(3X4X5) + ………2/(1997X1998X1999) + 1/(1998X1999X2000)

this is a qn from dwin, and it came from a sec 4 textbook..

it’s march!

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

it’s march! this month finally came! it has been a long journey since Jan 04..ahahz..i guess many people miss their NSF days after they ORD..I m no different! Some people remember mainly big events in their NSF days, yea of course events such as ICSB, NDP are memorable, but I also cherish those little things that most tend to forget..

ahahZ i will miss the morning when kelvin and I woke up to catch liverpool vs ac milan! i will not forget the way he pang seh me and liverpool at half time when liverpool was 3-0 down!

i will also remember the night at CIA when cheong and winston were there explaining to me all about FBT shorts, i think it’s rather stupid!

the days at taiwan were fun! ahah every night clement will go around taking orders, and most of us will go for the "Happy Meal", which consists of a bubble tea drink and a chicken cutlet..and i will not forget the way CSM ordered PS down just to take his order of chicken cutlet as well..so ridiculous!

and i think clement still insists that i din try my best for IPPT 2.4km run. well i really think it’s a joke, when my timings are like 9:45 and 9:47, but it’s definitely not planned on purpose! well and bso had this to say to me "Chee Ching, u are just like *******, almost there but not quite there yet.."

i liked the way the parade RSM of NDP 04 interacted with all the participating groups of the parade. ahahz every week we ll sing birthday songs to whoever’s birthday it is and it’s also kinda funny seeing those secondary school groups playing stupid cheering games when most SAF personnel will just like knock out and sleep in their seats..and i rem that the choir conductor was even fiercer than our RSM.. WOW..

of course every night i have my daily dose of entertainment..li heng and kev will be poking each other in one corner, while dwin and hockie will engage in wrestling in another corner…hehe i rem the way chris will hold the soap in his hand and walk towards the toilet..ahah..

and also how we caught on to lt eric’s fav word "swine".. since then this word has been overly-used in our platoon..

OH and there’s this lady from DSTA with a name almost similar to mine..i think it’s Bee Ching or sth..and dwin keeps making fun of me claiming we are long lost siblings..and it doesn’t help that she has the same surname as me..

ahah oh if i can recall more of such little thigns i will post them…it’s been fun..thanks to you guys!
