Dan: July 2008 Archives
Been wanting to update this blog for a while but wasn't really able to
think of anything I really wanted to write about. So many things have
changed that I seems to have lost track of quite a few of them. I think
its time for me to find a new starting point and start defining my
goals and objectives again.
Some note worthy things have been started though.
I'm in the mist of preparing for GMAT which is part of the requirements needed for the Master that I'm applying for. The preparatory lessons which I've signed up for are great. The instructor is interesting, the questions are challenging and interesting. 4 hours for each lesson of the course simply flies by when 2 hours of lecture during my varsity days felt like forever. Hopefully I get reasonably good results for my GMAT so that I can apply for the Master I'm interested in.
Started ballroom dancing again. Though may not be as intensive nor as regular as compared to when I 1st started, but its just as fun and I really enjoy the feeling of dancing. Competing may not really be an option now with my injury and all but I think I will at least try for the medal examinations.
Of course, I'm starting work at my new company next week. Still an IT oriented job but I see more opportunities to do different things and learn new skills. Will probably have to start from the bottom again which I really do not mind as I feel that I still have many more things to learn.
After waiting for 18 years, I started piano lessons! I still remember asking my parents to let me take piano lessons when I was in Primary 5 (11 years old). The reply I got was "神经病，不要浪费钱。我们家里人没有音乐细胞的". Can't really argue with my parents and I definitely couldn't afford lessons myself. Now I can finally afford lessons on my own. Though its kind of late to start piano at 29 years old, its better late than never!
Everyone is complaining that I'm fat!!! Oh well, its true though. I checked the scale and I did indeed put on 2kgs. Started jogging every since I got back from Thailand but doesn't really seem to help. Will have to take more extreme measures!
Hmm, contemplating on joining SDU (Social Development Unit). Perhaps then I may be able to find a girlfriend? Think I'm really what they would refer to as AFC (Average Frustrated Chump) suffering from one-itis. To top it off, I'm in the IT industry!
