Sept 11th... 5 years on... 1 month after
today is sept 11th and it's been 5 years since the significant 911 event at new york. it seems to feel slightly different for me this year because i've been to new york this year and also to the site of ground zero. i still remember how i was having my sec 4 prelim exams 5 years ago. we all talked about it the next day in school before the exam paper. i guess it's been sad for americans... and i think terrorism affects the whole world but not only to the world power US. just hope for world peace yeah. and since now i have american friends, of cuz i would hope that US would be safe and good. :)anyhows, it's also been 1 month since i've back in my home island Singapore. well, i've adapted pretty quickly back to the life here... i have to anyway. but... i still miss US, still miss WAT... still miss the life there, the people i've known. sighs. i still wanna be back again.. but next summer seems hard... i don't have so much time... nor money. i seriously wouldn't mind going back if i can just break even comfortably. like just break even, not even profiting. i liked my life there... and i know alot of the other singaporeans too... we all just miss the times that till now we still meet up like almost every week. just for little things whether it's dinner, movie or play. i think everyone of us just needs a breather from the stressful school life.. and meeting up together just reminds us of the happy times then... according to qingyi's msn nick: WAT peeps--> if only everyday was a party. how true man.
we met up the other day on saturday too to go to speedwing (the agency for this program) office for feedback and to collect our certificate!
HOORAY! this is mine! hehe. i've successfully completed the program.. and safely back in singapore in one piece... a few thousand bucks poorer.. but with lotsa memories. :)
and this kinda reminds me of another certificate that i've gotten too... so i went to dig it out to take a photo of it...
haha.. my associate of the week cert!! lol. it refuses to rotate no matter how i tried so i just gave up. well alot of us got the associate of the week every week... so we kinda figured everyone should get one eventually before we leave.. but apparently it wasn't so. so i guess i should treasure this more. i think i should thank jesse for this so THANK YOU JESSE!! =) it's not of much use but well... at least a momento.
anyway, we kinda like badmouthed about PKD to the agency... and it seems quite mean of us. cuz the person told us that they might probably just remove pkd as one of the employers for this program next summer, especially since we were the first batch. they weren't the perfect employer.. but yet all of us had fun... so... i don't know. they had their good points too. so hopefully they'll still be part of the program next year... but then again, i'm so hurt cuz someone appreciates turks more than singaporeans so... we might as well not be back since we are not appreciated. sobs. i'm sure other employers like cedarpoint, seaworld, yellowstone, grandcanyon etc appreciate us much more.
i wanna go back for WAT again...!!! ahhh... maybe i'll go back in 2008 cuz i'll be graduating then... and work for the whole summer to help break even... then slowly come back again and look for job. hmms.. don't know... will see how again.. it's so farrrrr away... makes more sense to plan for next year first. i know this doesn't add much value to my resume.. but i don't care because i just wanna have fun.

on another note... i changed my msn picture recently and here it is...
and then i started having people msn-ing me things like...
"whose baby is that?? is that yours??"
"i didn't know you were married! or were you not?"
"this baby looks so fair and white.. is it a mix-blood??"
"but it has only been a few month since you've been to US!"
"oh i didn't know you had a baby with ***** in US!"
errr... thanks but i don't think i have the ability to give birth to a child now. at least not financially. although i must admit that the white kids i see in US are so much more adorable than asian ones! they are.... SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! if only i can give birth to one with blonde hair.. lol too bad i can't because i don't have that kinda genes.
anyways, this new born little baby is my cousin's new darling. his name is keegan. born on 20th aug 2006! ain't he so cute? i just love little babies man. i haven't carried a baby in like the longest time!! many many years... finally a new member in our family after like 10+ years! YAY! :)
