After that met up with meiyun, hweeshan and xiaopang at tampines mrt station.
Took bus 10 to katong, andrew board the bus at simei to meet up with us.

Junwei was there early, therefore he had an practice session there first. LOL.
3 cheers to hokkien song king :D
Xunxiong came over from bus 15 as he somehow overslept. lol
We had a singing session from all the way from 2pm to 6pm.
Overall was great! just that xiaopang was rather shy to sing. LOL.


After the singing session, we headed over to Holland V.
After searching for a good place for dinner, we decided to have our dinner at Thai Express.
We ordered dinner, eat and chat, eat and chat.
I didnt know they actually planned a surprise birthday celebration there.
As i turned my head, i saw a cake!
OMG this is really surprising.

My SIP is starting. Yes real soon. In like 9 days.
In the past, around year 1, I was always looking forward to SIP. As it could be fun!
Now I am worrying about the stress level, as in, could I cope?
Which I think I would be able to cope, at the same time, grow up in KPMG.
In the bright side, I could train myself to have a much better time management and being more responsible in my work. At the same time, stop my procrastination when comes to do things. This is one of my bad habit.

Napfa test i coming soon in 6 days. Miss the registration for 1st september. So well, 10 july.
I shall give it a try for it.
Improved my timing for 2.4km with a timing of 11min 28sec.
Now is training for my standing board jump and my chin up.
Silver award, I'll be contented =)
Safra bay run is approaching in 43 days! Somehow looking forward to it. Hahahha...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Went to play badminton with meiyun and xunxiong at TP sports hall.
Played for close to 4hours, inclusive of some breaks in between.

Overall, fun!

Followed by lunch at Long John Silver at TM.
Accompanied meiyun to Kiddy Place, opps i mean Kiddy Palace, LOL, as she is buying a gift for her niece.

June 2009 Prosperco Pawnbroker Auction.

Yes, its the 3rd saturday of the month, which means its my work day!
It is my 4th time working for prosperco in this monthly auction.
Working as a assistant auctioneer. Which assist in data entry during the auction as well as before the auction.
This month's location at RELC international. Which took me and keyuan about 30min just to find it. LOL.
Rather slacking day, lesser bidders, lesser auction pledges, earlier time to knock off work.
So slack that i could actually read newspaper and chit chat with colleagues.
Working for prosperco was great, none of the superiors are unreasonable. All seems to be like friends. LOL.
Looking forward for next auction in july.
Ended work at 5:15pm. Went to look for watches. Though there is GSS, its still very expensive -_-"
Followed by dinner and off to home.
Misleaded by the circle line, thought there is a station at paya lebar. Therefore we took the NEL from douby ghaut to serangoon transfer to circle line just to check it out. Reached, check the map again, found out that it actually just go pass it... UNDERGROUND. This is LOL, indeed I am a frog in the well.

22th June 2009, Monday

TAIN class test. I woke up at 7:30am to recap once again.
Studied till 10:45 and im off to school.

AHHHH.
nvm, one more presentation!
Off to mensa for lunch and gym-ed with chris and jiabao at Tampines Sports Hall.
Napfa is coming! in 1 week!
I'm confident in all stations except chin-up.
This sucks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bad habits and lack of confidence...
