This year, I have made a few major decisions... trying to make my life filled up more with activities. Example, I have took up a Jap course, is something all along I wanted to do so... So since there is an opportunity, I grab it fast and paid for it.
I have also trying to expose myself to more dance classes. Not only for better well being, but also to keep feeling younger by dancing... I am not very young liao le... is 26 this year!
I have also being involving in some training, trying to prove another side of me. Trying to explore deeper and bring some talent out from myself. I wanna see what it will lead me to... It is not easy to commit on this training since it is a twice weekly thing and is somewhere very very far. But still, I wanna try and see. I really wanna test myself out. I really want to. Many comments from many people. And I really appreciate those who gave me valuable comments. I will take it seriously and go ahead with this training with lots of caution.
I have also been trying very hard to keep fit in the gym. See some results, will continue to work on it and hope to get my abs soon.
U may wonder why I did not continue to post on NYC. Why a sudden summary of what I am doing now... Stres... lots of stress... Unneccessary stress... irelevant worries... unjustifiable actions...
Perhaps... I really never sit down and think back of myself. What is my goal in life, why am I still single for so long. Is there a prob with me? I know there are many good one out there. Some even expressed but I choose to act blur... expectation too high? Many told me this. I started to doubt myself... I started to think... why am I so packed with day in day out activites... are all these stuff really neccessary? Do I really need to work so hard to get the body I want? DO I really need to dance so much yet dunno how to move on to the next level? Do I really need to take up a Jap course? Why do I want to put myself thru all these? A life filled with activites... is this really I want? or is this something that I want to do to numb myself from reflecting myself? Whenever when I am alone... all kind of thoughts just start to flood my mind... even myself haven't figure it out... I am still following my heart... still... slowly... taking my time... lots of questions... but I guess... one day... one day... it will reveal by itself...
Laughters and smiles are what you see in Terence... is this Terence?

States part 2
Soon, we arrived at Detriot, New Jersey, airport. I believe this airport is one of the many airports in States that receives many international and domestic flights. As you can see, the airport is pretty huge and well organized! Very easy to find the gates and won't get lost so easily.
So we took our domestic flight to Newark Airport, New York. This airport is damn "lok kok" haha! Very different from Detriot airport. At the point of collecting our luggages, we were very anxious. As we were afraid that our luggages will be terrorised by the airport staff, which we heard from many of our friends who have been to the states that they will open up any bags and do random spot checks. Even in some cases, expensive items were stolen as a result. So we were very worried! The lucky thing was that we finally collected our luggages without having anything missing, but the unlucky thing was that there were two damages to the Chans' luggages! We did not do the claim on the spot as we believe that it would be very tough to do it oversea, especially in the states, thus we brought the case back to Singapore to cliam.
There were 3 coaches in total, each coach carried around 50 passengers. It was a pretty huge group I would say. Everyone was pretty punctual and corporated throughout the whole tour.
Finally, our first day of tour! Our first stop was at Chinatown, the biggest Chinatown in the States! There wasn't anything very interesting, we were there to have our breakfast before continue our city tour in NYC.
Soon, we arrived at Wall Street and the Trinity Church. We were pretty excited as this place is the world's economy centre! By the way, it was a holiday on that day. It was Thanks Giving Day! It is a big and important holiday for the Americans! Since it was a holiday, as you can see, there wasn't many people. You can only see tourists and tourists and tourists...

States part 1
Recently, the Chans and I went to the STATES! We had visited places like NYC, Boston, Nigara Fall (Almost to Canada), Washington DC, philadelphia and many more! We took Northwest airlines and transited at Tokyo, Narita Airport and Detriot, New Jersey. There were just simply too much joy and laughter to share with everyone. A picture speaks a thousand words, so I shall post more pics instead of talking too much... enjoy the photos!
Before we begin our 14 days journey to the states, we were busying securing our luggages with the lock that must be approved by the US authority. Many said that they will just open your luggage randomly for spot checks! If they can't open your luggages because you use some weird locks, they will just force their way through! Better to be safe then sorry, buy TSA locks if you going to the states!
Northwest airlines are generally fine in terms of its leg room space. There was inflight entertainment from Singapore to Tokyo, a journey of 7 plus hours. BUT! There wasn't any inflight entertainment from Tokyo to Detriot! I almost fainted when I board a plane without the inflight entertainment for 13 plus hours! This was the same for the return leg. You really cannot do anything other than sleeping man!
Transit in Tokyo. This was the first time the Chans touched down in Japan! They were pretty excited and Guo Hao keepss wanting to have a bento set or a bowl of ramen. so end up we had a quick lunch before catching our next flight in a few minutes time.

Terence wants to blog again...
It has been a very very long time ever since I left this blog with my last post. Thank you those people who have been visiting this boring blog site for the past years.
I have decided to make this blog as exciting and interesting as it was previously. But first, I need to wait for my new desktop purchase. Reason being the current laptop that I am using now is too laggy, and thus I cannot use my photoshop program where I can edit nice photos together. I will be getting my desktop soon... I promise!
Till then, please give me a few more days to start blogging eversince I stopped for so long.
See u soon!

Terence is Lazy
Haha... I have been lazying around eversince after my december papers... I dun even feel like blogging... haha...
Well, I have officially graduated from NUS!!! Yea!!! Passed all modules and even got a very good and unexpected grade for my so call Final Year Project. Really very happy that my team acheived grade A. Trust me, the journey to an A was really not easy. It is so tough not only on the technical side, but also the coordination within the team and the understandings from one another. Ok... I am a bit fake here... for those who know will know what I am trying to say ya... haha...
Still remember at the very last and critical stage of my project time, my team and I really almost everyday stayed overnight in school... or rather, worked overnight with very little sleep... that time, 3 of us still had a test to go for... and eventually we failed the test quite badly because we had no time to study... we were so focused on the project as we were afraid we couldn't finish the testing in time... those were the days man! Thank you for those who were with me all the way... despite of my lack of knowledge and stubbornness, you had shown patience, closed guidiance and understanding... Thank you!
As for the exams... the most tough and scary paper of all was the probability paper... really very tough and totally no idea what is going on with the paper... Every questions I did was half done... and thats the point when I wondered will I ever graduate this sem? Luckily I did... haha... Heng ah...
Immediately after the papers, I went to japan again! Yea... winter japan... But my first trip I met a very unfriendly tour guide... she was a tom boy and many of the professionals in the field had commented about her... During some occasions, I almost wanted to give her a tight slap man! 3 days later after I came back to Singapore, I flew there again... hee... this time round the tour guide was a good one... I would ranked him the second best from all the tour guides I had ever met. But this second trip was a very sad one for me... coz I fell sick on day 3... Very bad flu and weak body... Couldn't sleep at night and no medicine for 2 days... Eventually I bought some medicine which cost me ard 20 sing! I feel very ex la... but no choice.. still have to buy and eat... hoping that I will get better... but it din!!! Still as sick as before... and this time round, I got myself those masks to cover my mouth.. dun wanna spread my powderful virus to everyone on the bus... Another dissapointment was that on the last nite, we stayed in this hotel located at Shinjuku! The most happening shopping and nite life area in Tokyo! But I got no mood and no strenght to explore the place... too sick to walk around... So sad.. haiz...
During my exam and the in between my japan trips... I went for 2 interviews... one with Creative and another with Singtel... I think Singtel really need people le... coz I did not prepare for the interview at all but still able to get in.. hee... so now I am working in Singtel! haha... as System Analyst... Welcome to the 8 to 5 working world man! Tell you... I really hate this kind of 8 to 5 working life... haha... perhaps I need some time to adjust to it ba... Now I got nothing to do in the office... everyday read some documents which make no sense to me at all... not that I dun want to find out what is it... but is abt the business logic of the projects... then I will not be able to understand unless someone explain it to me... So now just have to wait for my boss and peer to be more free.. then they can explain it to me... Anyway this singtel offer is a one yr contract... I may have other plans other than this singtel job... we shall see ya! haha... I am a troublesome and frequent minded person... hee
Think thats all for now... will post more stuff about my work and my collegues when got time ya... :)
Hmm... below are some pic I took when we were rushing for my project deadlines and also pic I took in Japan... enjoy!
My team and I were working very hard...
We ordered mac and ate at a place with a big sign... NO FOOD!!! haha...
Ting Liang was sleeping in the morning... he cannot tahan liao... need sleep desperately...
Must take a pic with him! After he woke up... I asked him "why do you need to put a paper on your face while sleeping?" He answered "Because it was very sunny!" ?? haha
And I am still amazed by how Ting Liang can manage to use this paper over and over again... ?!?

Recent Updates
Have not being blogging for quite some time. And I know that the "loosing ends" spelling mistake.. lol... thanks for those who constantly remind me about it.
Helene and her family
A few days back, Helene and her family web cam with me from Strasbourg, France. That was so damn happening manz! The sad thing was that I do not have a web cam, therefore I can only see them and they can't see me. Think I gonna get one soon... How I wish I can visit them some day in the near future... Hmmm.. must plan to make it happen! Perhaps a backpack kind? haha... anyone wants to go?
Test and Proj
Last 2 weeks were damn terrible! Probability test almost drove me crazy! Now still dunno the result yet. Then right after the test, stayed for 2 nights with my project mates to finish up the first system release! We then went for the presentation with no sleep at all! So damn shag and "blank" at that time. And wanna thanks to those who had helped though these difficult times... yuhua... and some of my proj mates... not all... :X
Dance
Finally, went to studio wu for my first dance class! haha.. after so long of saying wanting to go... I bought the package and thus will go more frequently.. hopefully I can manage my time better.
New Car
My uncle/god grandfather has changed a new car... Nissan Sunny... I think he really like Nissan... ha.. coz the previous one was the same brand but different model for this new car. The car is quite nice and I hope I can use more often before I get myself mine! hee... Hope that it wouldn't be too long from now.
Cousin's wedding
My cousin is getting married this coming friday... And I will be his brother le... So far the clothes I have already prepared... and nothing else i think... this thursday will go for a meeting with him... see what is my jobscope like. Becoz of this, I will be missing a day lesson on friday.. haiz.. I have been skipping lessons for these few days... coz too much work to be done!
Thats all for now... take care my friends!
