On October, I started to study on a web design course in Society for Physically Disabilities (SPD). It was an unintentional decision. It was because the interviewer encouraged me to further on my studies when I went for the interview. My intention was to find a job which would allow me to earn more money. I have never thought of furthering my studies because I simply have no interest in studying any courses other than accounting course. Most importantly, it does not guarantee that I would be given a job. In the end, I may end up paying up the bank loan and may not get a good job. On the other hand, I think that it might be a good time to spend since I could not get a proper job and you cannot expect me to stay at home all the time, wasting my time. To be frank, I have one plan which is to set up an online business in future. But I have no idea on where to go about like what stuff I am going to sell and those financial stuffs and I don’t know if it is realistic goal for me. The social worker told me that the course would be completed within 6 to 9 months. But I think I would probably need 5 months to complete. It is because I have learnt most of the modules in polytechnic already. And I now need to re-learn as I have forgotten some of the stuff. At the same time, I want to learn more in depth and can learn from teacher whenever I encounter problems. There are also some software I did not learn before, like Photoshop and using other CMS like ‘Joomla’. Unlike in polytechnic, the facilitator did not teach much as it is a problem-based learning. That is why I did not have confidence to build a website on my own in the past even though I really wanted to create my own website. At the same time, I can make many new friends like me. In the past, I only thought that there are not many people with disabilities in Singapore. Maybe it was because I seldom saw them hanging around the street and I have never associated with them before. After I came here, I can see many people with different kinds of disabilities. In here, there are many courses for these people to take and they are trying very hard to learn. Of course, it would depend on their individual’s ability and interest and they will be allocated to the suitable course. There are also some devices made specifically for them to use depending on the type of the disabilities they have. I feel that I am a lot fortunate than them and I must not keep moaning all the time and have any negative thoughts. Now I have studied the course for about 2 ½ months already and it gives me more confidence to pursue my goals and hopefully, I would be able to create the first website by next year. |

Wow! It has been a long time since I updated my blog. I admit that I am getting lazy and do not have any motivation to continue to write my thoughts anymore. Actually, I have not been working since the first day of this month. Well, I think that I do not have any more patience continuing to do the job anymore. Although my colleagues and my employers are friendly and kind people with a good working environment, basically it can’t be any worse than the stress that I have been given. And to be exact, I simply cannot make it up to their expectation. I knew that if I continue to work in that company, I will not be happy at all and probably, one day I will be sacked. Frankly speaking, the thought of quitting have been in my mind since one year ago and my parents and my friends have been asking me to look for another job. But I simply refused. I told them to give me two years to challenge myself to see if I can cope with the work and expectations. At the same time, I can gain experience. After a long mental struggle, I knew I had to give up and continue to look for another one. Although I knew that it will be difficult for people like me to find jobs outside and have to bear with those people’ scorn looking, I will not regret my decision. I believe I will be able to find a job that I like and I will prove myself one again. Anyway, I also have not been taking break since I started working, so I took this chance to relax myself and think what I want to do in future. Here, I want to thank my employers for willing to hire me and give many chances for me to prove myself that I can also do the tasks what the normal people do. Also, they always counsel me many times and give me the confidence to do the tasks better. And thank them for giving me so many chances to amend and tolerate me despite making many mistakes in my work. As for my colleagues, I will always remember you guys for the times that we have spent together, whether it is happy or sad occasions. My colleagues include, uncle ong, aunt Helen, aunt lay choo, aunt xian hua, aunt siri, lay har, xiang lin, xiao xiao, sun jian, bao zhu, cheng min, wang yan, en li, lan ping, wu laing, guo yang, Elton, bin hao, mary, Eugene and Jeremy. |

Happy Chinese New Year to all of u! Normally we would eat our dinner with our relatives at my grandma’s house and the place was filled with laughter and joys. But this year, as my grandma is too old to prepare so many dishes, so our family ate our dinner at home. Though the atmosphere would tend to be a little boring, I still enjoy the time when we ate our dinner at one table. It was because normally we would eat our dinner at by ourselves at each corner. After we ate our dinner, we went with my aunt’s family to my grandma’s house. The elders would gives hong baos to the youngsters and we, youngsters, would be very happy to receive the hong baos by them. For our younger generations, we played cards, then we played the sparklers. After that, we played other games and then we went home. On chu yi, we went to my aunt’s house pai nian first, then we went to our grandma’s house. We took many photos there especially for this year. I really did not know why my relatives took so many photos this year. After that, my family went to Marina Bay to take photos. On chu er, our family went to Chinese Garden like every year. Sadly, I was not feeling well on that day. That was why I did not have the mood to take photos. On chu san, my mother, my brother and I went to yi po’s house. It was quite far as they stayed at Woodlands. But for the sake of hong baos, we still went her house pai nian.    |

This week, I nearly have a scare because the doctor told me that I got snake growing which is commonly called in Chinese “生蛇”. On Wednesday, when I was returning home from work, my neck started to get a little pain. At first, I thought maybe because I did not sleep well the previously, so I ignored it. But when I was working on the next day, the red patches getting bigger so I went to clinic after work. So I was told to take medicine and applied cream on my neck. Then I went to take leave the next day and rest at home. It’s been so long since I took leave already until I forget. Anyway, this is the best time to take leave since I haven’t been getting enough rest. Although there was MC given, I still took a leave since I have many leave to clear. Now, my neck are getting better le. Maybe tomorrow I will be fully recovered. There has been a question that I often think about it, which is why heaven given me so many health problems to me. And each time, it happens to me, I will feel quite scared and do not know how to cope with it. Really, I hope that there will not be any illness happens on me anymore. |

It’s been long time since I updated my blog. I have been busy for the past few weeks. As you all know, I only get to rest on Sunday, and I have been going out with my family on Sunday. On the New Year that day, I went out with my two wushu friends, Ying Qing and Dao Qiu to watch movie. It has been more than 1 year since we met each other already. Every time they ask me for outing, I would either so busy working or I would be very tired. Sometimes, when I think about it, I would feel so bad about it. I really do not have any choice because my pay is already little le. If I go out with them, I would not able to work OT and make more money. We watched the hottest movie ‘Avantar’ and it was in 3D. I really don’t know why so many people say that this movie is so fantastic, but, when I watched the movie, I fell asleep in the middle of the show. It was really so boring, maybe it was because I could not make up the words what the characters say. In addition, I was not used to watch the movie with the goggle that was given to us. After watching the movie, we went to have our dinner and chat for a while before we went home. Thinking about it, I really miss those days that we had our wushu training together. Although it was tough and tiring, we had a lot of fun and laughers. Lately, I have been buying many clothes and jeans until I am so broke now. I really cannot imagine that with such a meager salary, how I can survive. That is why I intend to find another job after Chinese New Year. |
