On the Saturday (29/11/08) morning, I woke up quite early as i needed to accompany my mom for her appointment in Gelang East Polyclinic. When i woke up that time, i didn't have my breakfast. While I'm waiting for my mum turn in the clinic, I felt hungry. So after the appointment, My mum and I went to the nearest market to have our last breakfast.


In the noon, I met up Zhipeng (Campmate) with his friends in Orchard. Basically we met up because we need to go Kaplan to enquire Diploma in "Hospitality& Tourism". Kaplan is actually the world’s leading providers of lifelong education with operations around the globe, They have evolved well beyond our historic roots in test preparation to serve students of all ages through a wide array of offerings.

The course consultant recommented us to take Full time instead Past time Diploma as he mentioned part time is very pack for those people who work while studying and it have lesser consenstration in it, unless they need to put in alot of effort. unlike Full time, they are more details in it and I can sense Zhipeng wants to take up the course over at Kaplan.

After we have done our enquiries in Kaplan, Zhipeng's friend drove us down to Raffles College which was located at 99 Beach Road. The school was established in 1999, Raffles Education Corp College (Raffles College) formerly known as Hartford Institute, part of Raffles Education Corporation is one of the leading Institutes in Singapore. As for their aims, they want to provide an unequalled education that will serve their students for a lifetime, and meet the needs of our wider community.

Before that, I already booked an appointment with them and we did the same thing again, enquired the same course. But the funny thing is, they needed us to do a Personality Test "A reflection of your character" before we start to enquire the course. I believed it is to get to understand more about us.

After everything, met up Alan in the Bugis and went for window shopping. In the evening, I needed to go and work to earn more money as my current salary is too low for me to survive. haha...

Good evening! Let me share with you what I have been doing for the past few weeks. On the 21th Nov 08, It's actually my platoon cohesion day. It held at Miramar Hotel and I would like to share with you guys some of the photos i took on that day itself.




Actually, why my superior wanted to organise the cohesion? I guess it is because for the ORD personnel in the December (2008) and sort of a farewell party for him. He (Msg Ng Chee Yong) will be leaving in next year January. Truthfully speaking, he has been a good mentor to me. I had learn many things from him, one of the thing I have learned from him is to be a responsible guy. Taught me how to face problem and solve it. Leared to be efficient and alert too. Nevertheless, learned how to be independent when the parents are not around. That's something i can't learn outside. I felt i had already grown up after some EXTRA & CONFINEMENT that he have given to me. I understand his hard work that he put in is for the sake of everybody and I don't blame him for that. I really appreciated the effort he put in and i need to thank him for that. Without his "nagging", I don't think I am who am I now! Thank You!


As for today (28th Nov 08), I entitled an OFF day from my superior because today I need to attend an Eprep Road Show at Keat Hong Camp. For this Road Show, I had get quite alot of information from the speakers and also get to know more about the Eprep Scheme. Eprep is a MINDEF initiative to recognise the full-time National Servicemen's contribution to Singapore's defence and continued stability. It offers online preparatory and refresher courses to NSFs to help them transit from full-time NS to either join the workforce or further their studies. It's also eligible to particiate in Eprep during their last 12 months of service till ORD. For more information, please contact NS call Centre 1800-3676767. Well.. I would say, make use of this chance to upgrade ourselves since there's free credit in it.




After the Road Show, I decided to go down to SHATEC INSTITUTES to enquire what are the courses that is eligible for me to take up. The person in charge told me, in order for me to up the diploma course, is a must for me to take up Certificate in Hotel & Restaurant Operation (CHRO) which cost S$4,120. After I have the foundation, i'm able to study Diploma in Hotel Management/Tourism Management (DHM), (DTM) which cost S$14,545. Maybe I will take that as a consideration for my study.
After everything, it has been a tired for me. Even though i'm tired, i still went to cut my hair at "STORM" by monsoon which located at Century Square Level 5. I am happy with the service that they provided, they are friendly and courteous to all the customers & of course, I love my new hairstyle. It was designed by the name of KASON. =)

I'm going to stop here, basically these are the things I done today!
