well well... i've finally graduated... n i now hold a diploma in bs.. n the diploma sits nicely in my 18 buckz np folder.. hahah.. juz for everyone's info.. i tink ntu gives their students the folder free... oopz.. =x
yesterdae was a super hectic dae.. rush ard like nuthin... first had to go enquire bout the cake siuyuin made reservations for me coz i initially wanted to syrprise eliza on her bdae.. but thing is.. she cant go for the ceremony.. so the cake now sits in the fridge of my house... the graduation ceremony was quite fun... esp my 2 seconds of fame on stage.. haha... juz kiddin.. i didnt get famous.. but was on stage receivin my scroll box (its empty!!).. hahha... didnt feel nervous at all.. since startin to work at scarlet.. i learn to smile alot.. not tt i dun smile.. iz juz tt now i smile alot alot more... haha.. so when i went on stage.. i saw mr tham n i smiled... saw the guest of honour i oso smile.. lastly i shook hands wif the person passin me the scroll box i oso smile... juz keep smilin oni... haha..
surprisinly at the graduation.. most pple were in black.. me bein the special one wore brown.. i wear black at work everydae!! my jacket was a mandarin collar one.. n summone commented i looked like i was wearin a hotel uniform.. but thing is my scarlet uniform minus all the velvet.. looks like wad they were wearin.. contradictin huh.. hahah.. n mr tham won a teachin award.. n i tink he deserves it.. when he received his award, most tlm students stood up and cheered n clapped for him.. so happy... he reallie reallie deserves it.. he is my of my fave tutor in np... impartial n knowledgable.. wanted so much to look for him after the ceremony to congratulate him but was in a rush.. so oni saw andy oh n lawrence... but nvm.. m tinkin of goin back to np to visit him n re-live a bit of poly daes.. see when my next off dae is.. hmm...
rushed to the airport after tt to see amy (my cuzz) off to australia.. n she took first class.. how lucky.. but when she left.. melissa (her sis) cried.. causin the rest of us to tear too... we all damn useless one.. overactive tear ducts... but i can understand how she feels.. if its my sis go for so many yrs or im suppose to leave.. i sure flood the airport... esp if its my youngest sis.. i cant bear to tink.. so she better study hard n get into local u...
n todae i dragged myself to work.. was reallie tired man... shld haf taken leave... but nvm... dun waste my annual leave.. todae passed quite smoothly minus tt shadat was not in a good mood.. didnt reallie dare tok to him in case he flares up at me.. n i cannot take it went pple juz blow their top off at me.. so its better to steer clear of anyone in bad mood... den durin break went to eat dinner with zamil.. den heard alot bout the ex staffs at scarlet.. they seem reallie nice to work with.. pity i went in too late.. but pple there now r generally not bad la.. pls take note tt i said "generally".. hahha..
showed them my fotoz from graduation n they tink i look very different.. diffrent meh? look the same wad.. i oso put make up.. juz not as heavy as when im at work.. n they sae my stomach very flat.. haha... oni good thing bout me is tt... no tummy!! (pls dun throw eggs at me)..
but anywae... got the motivation to update the blog todae coz of the newspaper i read.. abt nkf.. i bet u all noe wad im tokin abt.. abt t.t. dulai pay package n bonus of coz... i reallie reallie cant imagine him drawin such a fat fat paycheck every month.. to tink he works in a not for profit org.. its not tt i tink he shldnt be paid... but juz not tt sum or at least not tt bonus... $25000 for a top level management is of coz reasonable if u r in a private company where makin revenue is ur prime objective.. in nkf.. i believe their main aim is to raise enuff money for their patients.. which i bet at this moment is alreadie more than sufficient to last for at least a couple of yrs..
wad reallie blew me awae was tt nkf tinks they haf every rite to do so.. n still hold their stand tt they haven been wrong.. i quote from someone's speech "the sum is only peanuts".. to those tt make millions every yr.. 600 thousand buckz is of coz peanuts.. wad abt to those who dun even earn a month of t.t dulai's pay in a yr? if 600 thousands is peanuts.. maybe we dun have to donate any more money coz the money we donate will be smaller den peanuts.. they dun need out insignificant share do they? thing is tt pple r disputin his salary n performance bonus becoz they feel tt the amount of money can proovide help to more patients n be put to better use than to be used on taps n wad not... y cant they provide more subsidies to the needy instead of puttin the big pool of reserves to issuin paychecks?
reallie wonder how pple wil react after this incident.. for me.. i tink i will have to reallie tink twice b4 i make a donation to nkf the next time... not even the sad stories is enuff to move me anymore coz the articles will leave a more vivid impression on my mind.. well wadever it is.. i m waitin to see the outcome of this whole incident..
we all noe tt we shld continue to help the kidney failure patients n patients from the other wings of the charity.. but i believe tt sumthin muz be done to encourage the public to believe in them again... we shldnt stop helpin... but tt doesnt mean we agree n condone to all tt they r n haf been doin.. everyone.. pls keep tt in mind n dun stop helpin.. u can alwiz tink twice.. or thrice or even more.. but remember.. someone else's life besides the fat paycheck needs the money..
ps: next time u wanna high payin job u noe where to go..
