goodbye xerox...

today's my last day in fuji xerox. although i'd love to say that i smelt freedom after finishing my handover duties and stepped out of the tower, but i think i'll miss some of my colleagues there.
colleagues who had made my life in xerox more enjoyable and fun. colleagues who had become my friends.
welcome to my new life! yippie!

first 'modelling' experience

it was really a very tiring but fruitful day,
coz it was my first 'modelling' experience...

Don't Work too hard. Nobody notices anyway...

sure or not? so unbelievable....
sad but true lah....

MUS'ART Wind Orchestra presents.... DECADE

not a bad a concert but repertoire wasn't that fantastic:

1) Ireland: of Legend & Lore
good majestic opening piece. wise choice...

2) Titanic Medley
the arrangement was quite good. familiar tunes with a twist
within the piece...

3) Ocean Deep & Memories
the vocalist, liza foong's more suited for pop pieces i think.
her rendition of ocean deep's better than memories...

4) Highlights from Phantom of the Opera
good arrangement...

5) "GR" Selections for concert band
can't really appreciate this piece...

6) Atmosphere
a classic lullaby~~~ *zzzzz.....*

7) The Butterfly Lovers
total tranformation from the original one.
was looking forward to some similarities, but found none... *snore.....*

food for thought...

"just because your work stressed you, your boss stressed you, your customers stressed you, doesn't mean you can stress the people around you...
and just because your work environment push and give you pressure, doesn't mean you can give pressure on people around you...
i'm sure you've made the right decision to quit, it's not worth staying..."

thanks a lot for the words of wisdom Will.... appreciate it....

my friends, this is where i made the decision...

after meeting with my customer yesterday, i walked along henderson waves, and made the decision to resign. i wanted to find back and regain my true-self, and so i made this decision...

this afternoon when i told my boss that i'd made up my mind and decided to leave the company, i felt the sudden relief and load off my back.

For the past couple of months, the lost of passion and motivation in my job, and the working environment made me feel extremely stressful. so stressful that it got the better of me and had affected my life negatively.

i get agitated very easily, tend to over-react and possessive about the things and people around me. nearly everyday, i would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night. i've totally lost my energy, positiveness and confidence that i had in the past. i wasn't myself anymore and changed into another person whom i couldn't recognise either.

dear friends, pardon me for my erratic behaviour. and to those who had been showing me concern, support and understanding, i'm very grateful that you took time off hearing me out...

now that i've quit my job, i'm going to find back the old cheerful and positive steven. for a moment, i felt so happy and peaceful. a feeling long lost within me...

xtrail 2009...

woke up 6am just for this event...

and when we arrive at the scene, we realised that

we're one of the oldest participants...geeezzz...

it wasn't really relaxing actually, in fact, it was super shag.

having to run, then walk with our legs tied together and

running up the pagoda.... nevertheless, it was quite a great experience

to do things and have fun together with my frenz...

alright, still fresh and energetic before the race

look at the tiresome and shag look on our face...

our first date....

it was my first date with weiqi, and

our first digital 3-D movie...

and surprisingly, both of us have never watched

Lord of the Rings before!!!

was on my way back today after work and saw this car
beside me along west coast highway...

the banner read: we love you 4ever michael...
at the same time, the driver was blasting michael's Billie Jeans...



i can understand how deep the impact was on many people when
michael jackson left the world. just like if someone you loved and
cared for suddenly disappear from your life,
the feeling of lost and emptiness is immense...

treasure the people and loved ones around you, be your family
members, your friends, your colleagues and other acquaintance...
