some hard shoveling work and yes it was still snowing a different view my neighbor and i contracted a guy to plow the main driveway i was wishing that i ll get some snow for a white christmas guess i wished too hard and too late merry christmas and a happy new year labels blizzard 2010 snow winter posted by voon seng at 11 54 am 0 comments saturday december 11 2010 xkcd came across this comic it s hilarious and ingenious checkout www xkcd com all credits to xkcd might be a little adult but the best part of the comic is if you mouse over the picture on the original link http xkcd com 492 it reads a veteran scrabble player will spot the ostrich option speechless labels comic xkcd posted by voon seng at 2 39 pm 1 comments friday november 26 2010 off the ground finally i got a desk for my desktop this means that my computer is off the ground and i don t need to sit on the floor while using the computer this translates into not as painful for me to spend time in front of my computer at home so it s only logical to spend more time updating my blog i got the desk from walmart com taking full advantage of their new free shipping to home for certain items it s surprising to me that it only took them 3 business days to ship the desk and chair instead of their first estimated 1 2 weeks anyway the putting together of the desk took me a good 1 5 hours with a minor snafu i got the sliders for the drawer upside down but other than that it was rather smooth the chair though it s height is more suitable for my kitchen island by having it at the lowest position i was able to sit comfortably in front of the desk so 2 more items added to the house what s next i still need to get a few nightstands and dresser for my bedrooms maybe a bigger tv for the living room so that i can shift the current tv to my bedroom but the tv will only come next year for black friday the only purchase i made was a new cellphone after 6 years i decided to switch away from t mobile to virgin mobile this is because the plan is more suitable for my use instead of paying 40 bucks for 300 mins and 1000 texts i ve decided to switch to virgin mobile for 25 month for 300 mins and unlimited data though i have to pay more for the samsung intercept phone 250 by saving on the plan monthly over time it gives me a bigger bang for my bucks i m still waiting for the line to be ported and my phone to be activated once that s done i ll be able to check my email and access the web and do all the good stuff with my phone android able to sync my phone to my google account is huge guess i finally caught up with the smartphone phenomenon what else my satellite tv s been acting since last week often times it loses signal so for the last week i ve been relying more on the internet to get my tv shows and sports fix i also got more done last weekend house work and reading so if espn and all were to offer more online live sport streaming i might be able survive without cable satellite tv subscription labels cellphone furnitures house posted by voon seng at 7 26 pm 3 comments sunday november 14 2010 sorry guys it s been a very long while since i last updated my blog guess my laziness work and studying for cas 9 exam had the better of me so what s new since my last updated it s been 6 long months since i moved into my new place and i m still loving it things are still being added to the house piece by piece finally 2 weeks ago after my exam i was able to find time and energy to put together the shelf i got from ikea back in august and also to put up the sliding shade i got in june things at work seem to be going well i find myself maturing in terms of setting expectations for myself and working with others and finally i ll be rotating to a new position tomorrow after a long wait i m really excited about this change it was getting to a point where i m feeling that i m carrying too much weight for my own good and for the good of the team also last week i went back to university of michigan on a recruiting trip it was a short but fun filled trip i met up with few of my professors and friends it was good to step back and drive around the campus again it s fun to reminisce on those fond memories in my college days that and also taking a break from work and to watch a historic michigan football game is just plain fun what else is new i started playing table tennis again it s kinda funny how i decided to pick up my paddle again after such a long break from the sport which i consider to be my first love well it started with my course on professionalism trip to chicago where one of my ex coworker challenged me to play him so we took a cab to outskirt of chicago and played there where i found myself to be enjoying the game a lot so after i came back from the trip i decided to look for a club nearby and started playing there every thursday and even monday now after the exam it s really fun to play with different levels of players i m thinking about going serious with table tennis getting a table and a ball robot to help me improve my game what s next i m also planning to organize more after work get together with colleagues as we seem to lose a lot of those fun nights because of work and exam since it s after exam now i should kick start those activities movie night bar night again things dates to look forward to next thanksgiving and christmas and new year posted by voon seng at 10 16 pm 0 comments sunday july 25 2010 at sichuan gourmet chinese zodiac on the table reads ox bright and patient you are a good listener but disdainful or failure you are attracted to the snake rooster and rat and should avoid the ram lol a failure posted by voon seng at 11 40 am 2 comments uphill battle as tremayne noted i missed june as well well well well it s getting harder and harder to update my blog even at a monthly basis guess i m just getting lazier and having to update my blog japanese style is definitely not helping either my computer is still set up on the floor in my living room hence having to use the computer sitting on the floor well at least it s nice hardwood floor so i missed june and now it s almost the end of july i ll do a quick recap of what happened in late may june and july late may after coming back from the long short trip home long in the sense of the journey short in the sense of it being less than a week i got busy with the whole house thing signing the closing contract on the house the 30 year loan and planning the move and actually packing and moving it was a lot of work over the 2 weekends the packing and the moving a trip to ikea a couple of trips to home depot lowes the unpacking the cleaning of my old apartment before returning the keys june long days at work long nights spent watching tv started rock climbing again also there s a movie theater near my new house about a mile away so every tuesday 6 a movie a bunch of us from work will catch a movie after work i think that june 2010 was the month which i ve watched the most movies also started running a little after a long hiatus also i am finally able to work on the grill at the end of the month i found out what i was sorta expecting failing exam 7 it was no doubt humbling and i only have myself to blame time management july work s still busy started studying for exam 9 it s been 2 months since moving into the house and i m loving it minus the cleaning and the flies problem i was experiencing and the larger utility bills went on a trip walking around boston and a day trip to newport rhode island over the long 4th of july weekend when may ying and mel came visit the following weekend met up with hui ying in boston for a dimsum brunch and then last weekend had an official housewarming party at my house last thursday did a 5 miler race and finished at a time of 43 40 min 8 45 min pace given the lack of actual running lately i m happy with the time if only the weather was cooler i coulda shave 15 secs per min off my pace maybe i ll get more serious into running again and aim for a half marathon in the fall posted by voon seng at 8 52 am 0 comments cool now i can annoy the hell out of my blog followers with tweet like updates 140 characters lol posted by voon seng at 8 51 am 0 comments testing blogging via texting posted by voon seng at 8 49 am 0 comments thursday may 13 2010 wow i totally missed april looking at the when the last post was dated i realized that i totally missed posting in the month of april well all of that because of work and studying now the exam is over and work is getting better life s getting better all this got me thinking what the hell am i doing with my life for the last 2 months leading up to the exam i woke up early heading into the office to study from 5 6am til 8 9 10am and work til 5 6pm sometimes later and then head back to my apartment and dinner and some tv sometimes some more studying and then repeat what s willing me on was the thought of getting to the end of the road of actuarial exams and not having to study the same darn material again if i were to fail which is very likely as based on the past exams misled about the type of questions and the level of understanding and the speed that i need crank through those problems but i guess my approach towards the exam this exam i should say was wrong instead of trying to read the actual paper i spent time reading the summary of the papers and trying to memorize the lists of lists well this exam is all about accounting regulations laws and government programs so when the questions were posted in a lengthier indirect unsuspecting ways i was schooled it was a humbling experience and i think all i can do is to suck up all my pride and prepare for the battle again next november that s 2011 better in the remote chance that i do pass this exam as much as i think i don t deserve so i will still take it if someone were to give me a pass the bonus for passing the exempt on the first attempt which i will get will be all used for a party at my new house new house see more below anyway i m getting back to my more desireable lifestyle of reading for leisure watching garbage on tv and eating out and cooking more life s good so i m typing this half jetlagged just spent a good 24 hours in planes and airports and 12 timezones ahead of 36 hours ago and will be leaving home for my new house see more below in less than 96 hours i m a sucked when it comes to sleeping on a plane on my bos jfk hkg kul series of flights yesterday i didn t sleep from bos jfk it was a 1 hour flight slept at most 4 hours in 3 naps on the jfk hkg 16 hours monster and another hour for the 3 5 hours hkg kul flight i m really jealous of people who can just sleep on a plane as is if it s

month another year i ll try not to express and describe how time passes by i turned 25 earlier this month that s when it hits me that wow can t believe i m 25 already been 2 years out of college working for 2 years and settling down at a new place in my job and what s next by the way thanks for the birthday cards and gifts thank you some of them remind me of my past while some remind me of my far future the trip home was great it s true that it s not easy to come back after being home for 2 weeks even though i get back to the usual drill quick but deep down inside i still feel a hint of homesickness guess that s the magic of family and love anyway the trip back wasn t all smooth sailing either our flight from jfk to bos was canceled again and with the inclement weather forecasted for the next day we decided to wing it and rented a car and drove up because of the heavy snow in ny and part of ct the drive took us 6 hours instead of 3 5 hours by the time i got back to my apartment it was 5am took a shower unpacked a little and i went straight to work at 6 45am by 3pm that day i was more dead than a zombie even after 3 coffees and a redbull my eyelids were barely open i m not sure if it s my aging or because of the drive but it took me a good week to totally overcome the jet lag i ll be heading home again for my brother s wedding in may this was somewhat brought forward so i ll be home for a shorter stint traveling back on may 12th reaching may 13th leaving for the states again on may 18th 7 days vacation spending 2 days on the plane other news in preparing for my upcoming exam cas 7 on may 4th i m now waking up at 4 studying from 5 9ish 10am on weekdays and a few more hours here and there on weekends so may will be a big month for me first the exam then the trip home and finally closing on my house and moving can t pack anymore into a month than that also something happened few weeks back that surprised myself it s just interesting that i did what i did not to reveal too much i did what i believe is right i did something out of the ordinary i let myself heard not sure how that well sit with others but i think i ve done myself proud i wasn t even sure why i actually did it you know that feeling where you think you re gonna say something but ended up keeping it to yourself because you re too afraid well i didn t keep it to myself over that i did it in a professional way requested inquired and responded with what i had in mind if someone is gonna preach about something i ll make sure that i ll hold them to their preaching and no this has nothing to do with religion it s about values more about principals thanks for my life coach and my email buddies you know who you are so upon turning 25 i thought what will i be in 5 years other than being 30 will
