			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people always ask me, what do you want to do after National Service?</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Plan A</strong>: Pick up a private Mass Communications diploma course.</li>
</ul>
<p>With my current qualifications of NITEC in Info-Communication Technology, I have no idea what kind of decent job will I will holding in the future. Forget about decent jobs, I&#8217;ll probably have no chance to have a job in the relevant industry.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen the syllabus of what the people are studying for their Diploma in the same course, I won&#8217;t stand a chance against the fresh graduates who are equipped with the latest knowledge when I finish serving my two years.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Plan B</strong>: Slog it out in the IT industry.</li>
</ul>
<p>I don&#8217;t mean to brag but I have this talent of picking up IT-related stuffs very easily, and getting good at it. Even the top student in my class wants me on his team for project works.</p>
<p>So if Plan A fails, I probably would just work my ass up in the industry I&#8217;m good at.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Plan C</strong>: Setting up my own business.</li>
</ul>
<p>This would actually be Plan B if I actually had the capital. But since I wasn&#8217;t born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I&#8217;ll have to work for things that I want.</p>
<p>Truth be told, I actually have an idea (with some market research already done) to be put in placed. But since I have no rich parents nor rich friends who trust me enough, this plan will stay at the last of last.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Little Talk: </em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dc5iiT0f1s" target="_blank"><em>Resident Evil: Afterlife</em></a><em> to be out in cinemas on 9 September 2010. The next movie I want to watch.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/181/445070705_c2b64a0560.jpg" alt="" width="441" height="500" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a thief (I have a problem spelling this word, keep writing it as &#8220;<em>theif</em>&#8220;) from my cabin in camp because my money has been stolen twice. The first time when I found out about it last month was when I was calculating my expenses for the week and realised I had $7 missing.</p>
<p>Yes, I keep track of my expenses with the help of an <a href="http://www.mechcad.net/products/acemoney/" target="_blank">accounting software</a>.</p>
<p>So, thinking that I had some expenses which I have overlooked (which is almost impossible), I brushed this $7 off by classifying it under &#8220;Unjustified Loss&#8221; under my accounts.</p>
<p>And then, it happened again last Friday. I had $20 in my wallet in the morning and by the evening, there was only one $10 note left. I didn&#8217;t do anything that day other than to observe the people in my cabin.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t want to make such a big issue over this incident so on Sunday night, I announced to everyone in my cabin that there&#8217;s a thief (Sucks, I wrote &#8220;<em>theif</em>&#8221; again) in our cabin and told everyone to be careful with their belongings. I also explained how I keep track of my expenses to most of them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m now sure that whoever that person is, won&#8217;t touch my stuffs again. That announcement wasn&#8217;t really to tell everyone to be careful with their stuffs but to tell the culprit that I know about my loss.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Helped set things up for an event rehearsal yesterday at Ritz Carlton Hotel from 7.30am and only got back home at about 10pm. I just came home from a fruitful-less morning lesson at Tuas and have to report back to Changi later again because I&#8217;m playing in a soccer competition.</p>
<p>At this point of time, my eyelids are really heavy and I can barely stay awake.</p>
<p>That was until I chanced upon a friend&#8217;s Facebook profile and saw one of his recent photo uploads.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Four months ago, I wrote <a href="http://josephang.com/2010/04/25/goodbye-saturdays/" target="_blank">an entry</a> when we first starting training for National Day Parade 2010 &#8211; bidding goodbyes to my Saturdays (training was on every Saturdays). The trainings were tough, with weekly dosage of sunburns from standing under the hot sun for the whole day.</p>
<p>There were also a lot of unhappiness and issues throughout the journey but there were the fun times too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4866028258_a83815c56e.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>For the past few months, I&#8217;ve been asking myself this &#8211; Why am I so unlucky to be involved in this? Why is everybody enjoying themselves out on a Saturday while I&#8217;m standing under the hot sun doing something I don&#8217;t want to do.</p>
<p>Fast forward to today, with the actual Parade three days away. Quoting from what somebody told us &#8211; What first was an arrow aimed at you becomes a duty. Now, the duty becomes pride as you march into the Parade.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4866028516_3a06c6b8aa.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Through this journey, I&#8217;ve learnt that this Parade is not just a celebration or a show. This Parade is a message that goes out to the world, showing them how competent our Nation is. Do you know how difficult it is to have everyone synchronize their movements with sharp movements?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4866028320_cdfe809a2d.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just look at the Red Lions, Singapore&#8217;s Parachute Team. From the height they&#8217;re jumping from, they looked no bigger than my fingernail and they&#8217;re able to land into the Parade Square effortlessly. And that, sends out a strong message to the world about our Nation.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">That is what I&#8217;ve learnt throughout the few months of journey and I look forward to march into the Parade on August 9.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><em>Little Talk: I officially declare </em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liviu_Librescu" target="_blank"><em>Liviu Librescu</em></a><em> as a hero.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Went to play bowling at SAFRA Yishun last week. I used to bowl with my colleagues every Saturday night last year and therefore I had some playing experience. I wouldn&#8217;t say I&#8217;m good, but at least I can roll the ball straight down into the middle of the path 70% of the time.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4859502662_4e4df46e82.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">That&#39;s me, Boss.</p></div>
<p>Anyway, the point of this post isn&#8217;t to showcase how experienced I&#8217;m in the game. I want to introduce you the pair of bowling shoes which I wore on that day (provided by them with a fee).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4858877013_52141cc40c.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>I think I&#8217;m in love with this shoe. I wouldn&#8217;t mind wearing it out on the streets because I think it looks damn cool. I&#8217;m currently plotting with a group of  professionals on breaking into the place and steal the shoes.</p>
<p>Oh beautiful shoes, can&#8217;t wait to insert my feet into you again.</p>
