Bad news and good news

Bad news: my colleague Li zhipeng was fire on wed. reason: 'he was not suitable for the job'. i don't think it can be counted as a reason lol... they just fired an MIT cum Stanford undergrad like this.

So now i'm under pressure to perform well. Luckily my environmental head mrs sow was very nice, and it seems that mrs har, the overall supervisor for research, is still comfortable with my job.

Just finished the draft of the research handbook. and after an torturing weekend with dreamweaver tutorials, i managed to put up a presentable webpage for the science and math research programme.

shall be showing her my work tml.

'in the workplaces, you intelligence doesn't count much. You got to communicate and let people know what you are working on' :moral of the story

back to the good news.

i'll be sitting for the DBS psychometric test on Sat, and see A*star chairman on the coming Thursday.

well, people tell me 'you flatter the chairman well, then you get the scholarship, then you can leave this small island liao'

and i was thinking 'after four years i'll be stucking here for another 10 years?'

haha, i don't mean singapore is no good. but well, i guess i need time to adjust and accept that, maybe.

by the time i'm free of bond, i'll be 34 liao....

marry a singaporean girl? hehe........

it's a career choice....
