ending with a new beginning



upon graduation, marks the full retirement of the old dino phua from NTU ODAC, a place that he will always be proud of, where his good 4 years of memories are. emotions tend to flood in during such periods, where we start to part from school life, spliting paths with old mates.


sadly, due to commitment of my first full-time career, i can't attend FOOT (freshmen orientation overseas trip) but only the overseas and local seniors camp. old dino me has long lost his scorching breathes of fire, nothing much left that i can contribute, but just to sit aside to watch the youngsters grow through their projects.



eyes got a little teary, on the very night that kimjoo uploaded the ODAC video for year 2008/2009. though we had all watched it for umpteenth times, but all the fond memories that it brought along, got the cold blooded me emotional again. it may sound stupid, but i'm really envious of those laojiaos who can get to attend FOOT 2010 before the start of their career. its not about reliving the moment, i never believe in that, but just another occasion that we can once again, put in our heart, soul, sweat and blood, to do whatever we can for the Club.



with good blessing, hope the next batch , and many batches down the years, will once again be lead with good leadership, bringing the Club to greater heights. all the best for the 15th management committee. i may have left, but may my never-dying spirit fight on.



moving on with life, world cup 2010 marks the beginning of my working adult world. yep, working at PSA, one of the best container terminal in the world, an industry that the nation was so proud of, and kuku me, is gonna handle like 5 of its berth out of the existing 73. sounds exciting? yep, i hope it is. everyone claims that its a tough job, placed in a tough environment, and we gotta work through tough time when the economy had just went through a major recession. through hearsay, bosses are crazily demanding, setting expectations way mountain high, grinding subordinates with abusive and insulting languages. sounds like me hor? still in the midst of training phase, can't comment how bad it can be, but till date, i'm still confident of myself, to be able to cope.



new operations executives, july 2010 batch. they claim that half will be gone by the end of the year.



had a nice get to know session with my colleagues from pasir panjang terminal at The King Louis (vivo city level 3). we have a nice mixture of characters, i'm well enjoying the companionship at work, and hope the synergy will last us well at work.




heacy meat looks nice right? trust me, the food SUCKS, dun ever dine there, you have been warned. above are my 2 new friends who shared the Knights Meat Waigon with me!



somehow i'm missing my dearest secretary at work, shall put up a nice picture of her. sianz... no more pretty assistant by my side, nobody for me to boss around with, help buy tea, send sms & emails, talk stupid rubbish & highly animated jokes, and etc (thanks jas, you had been such a nice friend!)... roar... need to get use to being a ka kia!
