Sorry for the lack of updates. I was just plain lazy...Well it has been 6 months since I started working in Ngee Ann as a part time research assistant. I'm glad that I still can get to work on something that I like, if not I would have forgotten everything that I studied in my past 3 years, haha. Soon, it will be my turn to serve the nation. Not really looking forward to it I must say.


Mark..playing his iPod Touch I think.hahaha.

Work was ok. Lucky that I am working with Mark. At least I still get to learn new stuff almost everyday. I worked with Iqbal from March to mid April. Then worked with Gloria till end of June. And then Mark joined in June, till now. And XueFen is in the same office with me since mid June! XueFen is the new HLM TSO, to replace Estya. As Estya is pursuing her studies, at NTU. Forgot what course already, hahaha. Some science and bio degree, hahaha. Go read XueFen's blog if you want to know how she is doing.


interiorscape for Alumni Dinner

Work was somewhat similar to my FYP that I did in Year3. So nothing much, but just data and more data every week. I got to do 2 interiorscapes with Mark; Alumni dinner and HLM Fest:Landscape Model Competition. Quite tiring, but good experience. I learned a lot from Dr Koh and Mark. And GardenTech, my duty was on a Sunday! T__T lucky the weather is cool. Hahaha. And I bought two Phalaenopsis, hope they wont die on me -_-''' first time for me to grow something that I bought myself (:


XueFen and Esther eating Marvelous Cream @IonOrchard

So besides work, we have been helping XueFen also, like cleaning up and stuff. To me I think being a TSO needs to know a lot of stuff and its like preparing for battle everyday. Even after practical, you still got stuff to do, and it keeps on piling no matter how much you clear everday, which I mean paperwork. But it's a good experience, and lucky you got nice people around to help you. I confirm guarantee chop 2 years will be very fast over liao. Hahaha.

On top of work, I am also helping on an outreach programme with my lecturer with Commonwealth Secondary on an eco-pond and hydroponics project. You must be wondering what can I help in the project right? GOOGLE SKETCHUP. Initially I thought I might not touch the program after I graduate, but I guess I spoke too soon -_-''' Teaching them was quite ok, they ask too many questions -______-''' A Sec2 girl even has a FB account!! Unbelievable man, when the kids see me walking near them, I can see them pressing Alt+Tab to switch away from the browser to Sketchup. -.-''' They thought I cant read the words on the taskbar which says "Facebook | Home" hahaha. Whilst I am involved in the outreach programme, Mark is working on another project on Vertical Green on a wall behind a bus stop near NgeeAnn. NP's principal wanted it. HOHOHO.

He doesnt like Sketchup much alot. Much was an understatement. I really felt the moody aura exuding from him. It was a Monday morning, and XueFen and I heard him whining away. Seriously, for the whole morning, the office was dead quiet with occasional whinings, with a frown on his face. Hahaha.


Run tags; Mark's 17A and my 17G.

And we took part in a run too! Project Nutz. The event name somewhat sounds familiar to me, but we never actually really take notice of it. So it's a relay run, with 7 runners in a team. I was the last member -_-''' and Mark was the first runner in my team. Hahah, our team made it to the 4th in the Staff catergory! Hahaha,first time in my life I won a sports medal -_-''' I never actually take part in any sports event in my primary and secondary school life, so somehow I felt happy about it (: After the run, I couldnt feel my legs -.-!!!

I still not quite sure how my future will looked like, I dont know what am I going to study. Before that, I definitely have to work. If not who's gonna pay for my fees? Just thinking of it makes me lethargic. How long do I have to work? Where am I going to work? By then I am already 24 25? Or even older...After 2 years of serving the nation will I forget what I learned? Hais...

Ok pictures.

Passiflora! [:


It's called Garden of Hope I think. I like the entrance! Made of curly willows!!! XD


Interesting art piece in the Garden of Hope


Somehow I like the arrangement of the plants and the pavilion [:

Ok I shall stop here now and update another time. Too much words already, even for me.
