There R times when we tried to publish our blog entries & we'll receive the error msg prompting the problem with the javascripts (from our archives' entries). As such, my advice is to re-publish the blog again & if the problem still persist there is nothing much I can do cos the problem comes from the blog server. Otherwise, you can at least re-publish the index so that the recent entries R still intact.Ms Koh : I did update you guys regarding my work life in DT. Do stroll down the page & look at my entry dated 9 October. The last time I heard Navi was working for Hilton Hotel's Reception while Simon & Lawrence were job hunting. Hida hasn't been responding to my smses for weeks. Anyway, let's meet up for dinner one of these days. Btw, dun 4get to upload the pics we've took at the BBQ.
Huiping was suspected from having appendicitis & was asked to stay in the hospital for 2 days. I'm going down to SGH to visit her later.
Hi everyone,
It's really nice to see some activity here. Have been away from the blog 'cos I was really busy. The term has started, and the rush is on.... .... but nonetheless, i am still here... hehe!
I really miss all of you! You were a wonderful batch! And I am really happy to hear that most of you have either found a good job or are getting further in your studies. I am very sure that with your good atitude, coupled with your enthusiasm to learn, you will all do well.
Khim, how's life at D & T. You promised to update me hor...

Qin hao, thanks for the BBQ. I am sure you are getting used to your 'cool' head.
Veline, be good at DBS ok? And dun be lazy... you have to come to this blog to tell us what's happening to you.
Joanna, you too!! You are at AIA rite? suddenly i am a little confused whether it's AIA or Prudential.
Dr Su... you must keep us posted about your current status too.... ... have you gotten married? ; )
Joy... i am waiting to hear your 'detailed' experience in Cambodia... and what happened to Veline, did she faint there?? :)
And where is Simon & Lawrence?? They 'disappeared' after they got famous in the Straits Times recently.... anyone know their whereabout? They must be afraid of 'paparazzi's .. hehe
Where is Hida?
Anyone knows what happened to my dear Navi.... and everyone else....????
Oh yes, Huiping, how are you ? Are you ok now?
Cheers.... Rosa

Joy
Good to know that you *would definitely go back if there's a chance to…*And most importantly that you are *really happy that they all do have something that they could rely on with faith* Im sure the kids will remember your kind gestures.

I think allowance is something like pocket money, and its confirmed given to you whereas reimbursement, you can only claim when you spend? Somewhere along that line? (This goes to show that my HR knowledge needs more polishing). I suspect Jocelyn has yet to catch the ball that you threw to her as she has yet to reply.
As to how your glasses were on the floor, I think I know how it got there, and I suspect you actually know how it got there. You know, I know.
Mrs Tit,
How was your trip to Ho Chi Minh? DId lots of shopping? Any souvenir(s) for me? As for me, went Batam( though only 40 mins ferry ride, but its still overseas right?)for a holiday cum course, and it was during the fasting month. Although, the PSI in Singapore reached 150, it did not appear to be that hazy in Batam. Had lots of fun though, did some crazy stuff, which I shall not and will not elaborate further here.
Rosa
What happened after you did the flying fox? Is your body still aching? Coz im concerned. After that entry, it appears that theres no more news from you.
Heres a quote from me to you. Peace.
*Not everything that counts can be counted. Not everything that can be counted counts*
hi there. im back frm cambodia!
n im quite lost w all d news happenin in SG.. all i noe was dat d PSI went high a few days ago..
everythin there was fine.. went to 3 places.. kampong Speu, kampong Thom and Siem Reap.. 2 'childcare centres' n R&R..
the first place (abt 10yrs old) in kg Speu is memorable.. d kids there are more outspoken.. we din get to do much interaction w them but they really taught us how to interact w them given such short time.. got a guy, aka DK (vel noes his real name, i cant remember d spelling) he's so called d popular guy among us, he really made frenz w most of us, and became mi buddy's 'bro'.. for mi, i was doin d footpath dat leads frm d common room to d gals dorm.. d original state was a slope, so gotta undo d slabs of concrete n add sand to level d footpath.. its this place where i got slightly darker!
2nd place is kg Thom.. d kg itself is d poorest in Cambodia.. d kids there are slightly smaller in size, but they are as happy as d kids in d 1st place.. here, i did d basketball court.. it usually takes abt 7 days to complete 1 whole court.. but here, d boss (we oso had contractor's help) told the workers to rush d job so dat at least we cld see part or full court done.. we managed to do til d cementin by day 5. here, same thing, i got darker! haha. n wow.. d foreman was cool wor.. name's channa (we misspelled his name for his bday card) friendly but shy, got civil engineerin advance diploma, age 22, simple english is OK, juz d pronounciation.. haha.
3rd place is more of a tourist place.. but we stil gotta do some outreach.. did delicing.. argh.. i did d shampoo'ing of d kids hair (1st station).. can see dat most kids do have lotsa lice. ppl in cambodia really need proper care of their hygiene.. teeth, hair, wounds, etc.. esp in those who are livin in villages.. no worry kk.. i deliced myself already.. haha.
overall, i missed d kids there alot, and would definitely go back if there's a chance to.. like wat our Liaison IC, ms Nellie Chew had said.. "are we bringing joy to them or is it the other way round?" d smiles on their faces n d simple lives they lead.. both places i went are christianity based.. im really happy dat they all do have somethin dat they could rely on w faith.
My Gosh! I din buy Sat's Straits Times! (-_-)" Can anyone scan the article & put up in this blog for us? Simon & Lawrence have sure done ITE grads' proud! As for me, I have been v.busy for the past 4 wks but I do visit our blog everytime I go online :) To Claryn: Will u be going to NTU's Recruitment Drive on the 19th? I can't wait to see you again!My life in Deloitte has alot of 'downs' then 'ups' for the past 1 mth. But not to worry, I'm doing well & is still persevering on! My mentor is also a former NP student (specialized in HRM) who graduated in 1993! She is great & has been my pillar of support. My biggest challenge presently is having to serve two supervisors with great contrasting difference in terms of work style & personalities. I underwent great inner struggle bcos I have to be mindful of their different expectations & the one who is more rigid tends to be v.harsh & sarcastic to me when I asked her for clarifications or to repeat her instructions again. To our lecturers (who are veterans in HR field): Do u have any gd advice or inspiring words for me? To my classmates & friends: I miss ya loads! In fact, I even put up our KL trip photo in my work station so that I'll always remember those fun & memorable days we had 2gether!
The Straits Times, Sat 7 Oct featured the twins, Lawrence and Simon. Lawrence and Simon, Congratulations on all your achievenments. I wish you success in achieving your "ultimate dream". Are both of you working now?
Also, Hui Xin is featured in the SHRI magazine, "Human Capital" Sep/Oct 2006 issue. Hui Xin was awarded the SHRI book prize. Is NTU having a break now?
I was away in Ho Chi Minh city for a week. Unfortunately, caught the Vietnam flu and had to stay in the hotel to rest. Only went out for lunch and dinner. However, despite the flu, I enjoyed the food there. Had mainly seafood. As for breakfast, mainly bread and egg. High cholesterol!!
One more week to the start of the semester. Will be busy preparing our lectures and tutorials.
