Hi there earthlings! Spent the weekend with the gang at Genting Highlands departed last Friday at 10pm and arrived back home yesterday at 8pm. Spent 12hrs on the coach both to and fro from Genting but it was a great trip although it was rushed for me as I had to report for my attachment today. More about my company later but 1st up the Genting trip. Went with scb, dajie, zen, milo & freeuns, we stayed at Hotel First World pairing up into 3 rooms. I bunked in with milo while dajie and zen in 1 room and scb together with freeuns. Arrived at the mountain resort at 5am...I did not sleep a wink on the bus so I was a tad tired when we arrived but could not check in to our rooms until much later that afternoon at 3pm. Hung out at the casinos and tried my hand at roulette and jackpot. Lets just say I came back without a single RM...lterally! The food in Genting is very much different from the franchise in Singapore. Safe to say it pretty much sucks compared to our Singapore outlets. The only plus point is KFC...regardless what they said abt the coleslaw, I think everything tasted great. Cost of food and entertainment there is hardly cheaper because it is a tourist attraction.

Checked-in a little after 1pm only to find that our rooms have not been made (=_="). Dumped our bags in the rooms and placed the "House Keeping" tag on the door knob before heading for Baskin Robbins!! You can't find this franchise in Singapore only in Malaysia, just like Dunkin Donuts which apparently Genting doesn't have and poor scb got disappointed. I would say the trip knocked the wind out of freeuns and scb pretty bad. They slept on the way but ended up feeling more tired when we arrived and scb actually felt feverish for most part of the day. Played more jackpot before deciding to check if our rooms have been made already...yes yes and no. Both dajie's and scb's room was made except mine. F*&k them especially after milo called them many times. Worse of all no towels were brought up to our room even after informing the house keeper in person (thx to dajie)...horrible if you ask me. Lucky managed to "coupe" towel from scb since she brought her own.

After dinner at the foodcourt (ikan bilis ban mian), played some arcade games and was amazed at freeuns ability to recall his DDR skills of over 8 years ago! Decided the night was still young and being in a competitive mood we played team bowling. We paired up according to our room arrangements and the losing pair had to perform a forfiet! Luckily for milo and me we came in 2nd haha and the losing pair "SCB + FREEUNS" Played abit more jackpot before calling it a night.

Met the rest at 9am for breakfast before having a game of snooker before rushing back to our rooms to prepare to check-out. Had KFC (yay!) for lunch (3 piece Original Meal) before boarding the 2pm coach back to Singapore. 6hrs later and we were back at Golden Mile...that concluded the trip, a fun but yet rushed trip.

Yes now the part about my 1st day of Attachment. I'm glad that we're allowed to dress down for the rest of our time there. The department is full of attachment students which makes it easier to settle down. Not much comment regarding the management but observing how the lao jiao students interact with them I would say they are a pretty easy going bunch. My job scope on a daily basis would be to setup and configure Desktop, Notebooks and Server hardware to meet the client's individual needs. Ultimately i'll be slowly advancing to specialise in server and "blades" technology in the days to come. A rather informal working environment.

Lastly...I made steps that could change the way i'm living my life right now. I finally had the chance to talk to a special someone. From living a life for myself at the moment it could very well change to encompass living a life that involves someone else. It really looks challenging to work things out but nonetheless I made a promise not to back down again until the end. Its the 1st time i've ever opened myself to such an extent to another person and honestly speaking I feel vulnerable...i'll be putting everything into this and i'm taking the risk i'll fail but its something I have to do if not for us at least for myself. Assessing the situation, i'm at a huge disadvantage to begin with...totally not the ideal way to begin my very 1st journey but like I said...Chances don't come by, they must be created and utilised when it presents itself but I still can't help feeling that i'm already losing before I have a chance to do something about it! How much longer can I look on the bright-side of things? I definately hope its not going to be another decade...
