Update as of July 2012

guess it is the time to update this long abandoned blog.

been busy with work lately and sometimes i had to work on weekends up to 5am in the morning. anyhow this is good because time passes swiftly. a friend said there is certain stage in life which you do not require work-life balance. this quote sounded really true as we should strive harder while we still could. alone in the uk, apart from anticipating the trips ahead honestly there is nothing much to do other than work. i would say with these combination of factors this would push me a lot harder in terms of career which i reckon it is good to the future. 

getting used to the life in the uk. start planning trips and found out there are so many interesting places to visit. covered few places in the uk such as cambridge, glasgow, edinburgh and nottingham. been to the 1st europe country which was dublin. soon will be going to germany by the end of this month. therefore.. in terms of saving i could not really save much as there are so many things which i think i should give it a go. money always comes with experience so i believe i can do better in future. 

forgot to mention that it is good to have friends in the london because i can consistently explore the places in london which i have never been to. will keep exploring to find out what is new out there.


few goals yet to be achieved but i will slowly make them all true. 

Notting Hill

been to notting hill today

this reminds me of the movie "notting hill"

i miss you :)

Random

hmm quoting the same old sentence - how time flies.

this is the second month in the uk and it is almost over. the weather has been good lately and it seems summer is near (or already is). can see people smiling and apparently everyone seems to have good mood with big smiles on their faces. 

been busy lately with work too. not much complaint as everywhere is the same. i guess it is just depending on how you cope with the stress. demand or request from seniors/ leads could be unreasonable but who cares - if you were the one who has been assigned on that particular job, please get it done on time or else people would just blame that you are not effective/ efficient enough. hmm. surviving skill plays an important role. lol. 

sister in law has just delivered few days ago and the baby girl - my niece looks cute! i think everyone must be very happy with the newborn but too bad i cant really share the joy. called mom once and heard the baby cried. it is an indescribable feeling, somehow feel very touching.

in year of 2012, i am glad that i am still achieving the goals that i have been set. 

a letter to grandma

this is the first mother's day without your presence
people always say time heals
i know it works out well up to a certain extent
but not on a special occasion like this


memories are flashing back
i start to reminisce the old times when you were still around
your voice, your advice and your graciousness
looking at the pics made my heart wrenches


if i were given a chance to meet you again
i would tell you how much i love you..


thanks for showering me with love 
you will always be with me on my mind

Dream

hi

i am weng hoong

i used to dream a lot

how to fly high up in the sky

how to dive deep under the sea

the future ahead is always filled with uncertainties

i am not sure how far i could go

but i will continue to dream

until they have all come true

wish me luck

Growth

time flies. 


it seems like things are getting back on the right track after spending 5 weeks in the uk. i have already stopped counting how many days i am in the uk, guess this is one of the positive changes. 


unexpectedly the workloads in this company are heavy. time given to complete a task could be ridiculously unreasonable. for instance a study which was supposed to finish in 5 days but the senior forced me to finish in 3 days. i dont mind working overtime, it is just that they should have considered things like this is my first time working on such a study and i would expect myself to spend more time in studying the cases before producing the report. this will in fact affect the quality of the work produced. 


well... i am not complaining but just want to express my thought. fortunately things have been turning out on the good side whenever i encountered problems. the director had revised the hours and i have been allocated 5 days to finish this particular work. after all every cloud has its silver lining. =)


will be off to scotland later and hope this trip could rejuvenate my tiring mind before returning to the battlefield. 

missing you
