momentum building up

As if suddenly awake, time has caught up with me again...im supposed to meet my supervisor cum mentor today, or in ten minutes time to be exact, but i guess i'll give it a quick blog...

basically nothing much has turned up for the past few days, ive gone back to fellowship with the other CFers and has made an effort to make it to dine with 'em on wednesday...Everyone's still very much the same, we chit-chatted over dinner, and i realized how much ive missed throughout my 3+ months of industrial training...everyone has moved on, and i sensed a deeper altitude of maturity in the air, through the talks and sharing...

some of the boys has gotten themselves more sophisticated boy toys - PDA, handphones, cam...the gals seemed to be more appearance-anxious as well - new hairdo, composure, etc...

for three days in a row, ive gone with my peers to attend the career fair in campus, everyone was involved in a job-grabbing frenzy, attending interviews and throwing their resumes at the company consultant's face, asking million and one questions regarding the job prospect...Pathetic...

My animosity for engineering-related jobs seems to have taken a greater toll, when asked if i would rather participate in software-design or hardware equivalent, i would have loved to tell them neither...At this point, i would be much delighted if i can get into an oil company, after the dean deliberately telling us that's the best paid industry...yeah, money comes first among others....hehe...

Another matter of interest concerns my final year mission trip...we had a meeting with Ps.Joanne yesterday and she has suggested this relief-supporting team to Acheh...To be honest, i wouldnt mind going anywhere, as long as we're doing something...yeah, i admit last year i was being 'conned' into getting involve in FYMT simply because they told me they were going to NZ...Pastor hasnt gave up on teasing me with that either, i nearly choked when she told me we are going to NZ this year.....a grin on her face blew her off...WILL NEVER believe her again...:p

I think i will confirm with 'em that i will join this year's mission...a thorough thought reveals that this is a one-time experience, it's not like i will be in campus after i grad, who knows when i will see all of 'em again...

As for my plan to go ShangHai with my gang, i told 'em to postpone the trip for a month, they seemed willing to tolerate for my mission's sake, but wanted me to reimburse them for the one-month salary they will be missed of earning....yeah, all of 'em are really money-pinching...

yesternight i hangout at this new chillout place name Dragon's hut @ Hartamas...it is a place to play pool and Fusball, and we did have a fine time there...and this is a good joke; the reason of us hanging out was simply because there was a nationwide power outage during the day, and we thought we should really commemorate this day, since it rarely happens...haha....so everyone put behind our FYP and we celebrated...really luv'em for being so sporting...:)
