眨眼间，到新加坡工作也有5年了，可是并没有参观过任何一间的新加坡 Museum。昨天，终于如愿以偿了，且一口气参观了 8间 National Heritage Board Museums里的3间。适逢昨天是圣诞节，这8间博物馆都供免费参观。p/s: 一年里，在特定的节日是免费入场的 （例如：劳动节，国庆日，...）
1) Asian Civilisations Museum (Admission Fee: Adult $8) 2) Memories at Old Ford Factory (Admission Fee: Adult $3) 3) National Museum of Singapore (Admission Fee: Adult $10) 4) Peranakan Museum (Admission Fee: Adult $6) 5) Reflections at Bukit Chandu (Admission Fee: Adult $2) 6) Singapore Art Museum (Admission Fee: Adult $10) 7) 8Q sam (Admission Fee: Adult $3) 8) Singapore Philatelic Museum (Admission Fee: Adult $5)

离开了法国画展，便到二楼的其他展厅
这应该是4，50年代的结婚证书吧。很特别。
古董摄影器材, 还有很多在 National Museum of Singapore 拍摄到的照片，懒惰在这里上载。若有兴趣，到现场参观吧 ^_^

来新加坡工作了五年，竟然没有到过以上任何一间 Museum。好惭愧！26/10/2011 Deepavali当天，这些 Museums 将会免费开放给公众。打算到 National Museum of Singapore, Asian Civilisations Museum参观。期待....
我是搭 Jetstar Airways从新加坡出发到仰光（仰光不再是缅甸的首都，已经从仰光搬至中部地区的小城彬文那 Naypyidaw）。当我一踏出仰光国际机场，上了 Mother Land Hotel Inn 2派来的机场接送员的车后，心想 “原来缅甸的车真的像我在网络文章看到般的那么的残旧，大多数来自日本超过10年，20年车龄的车。” 那是因为在缅甸买新车是超级昂贵的。我在缅甸的两天一夜里看到的新车真的是屈指可数。
很荣幸地被 Mxx 录取。想不到一做就做了将近5年。在这5年里，真的学了很多东西。感谢老板，老板娘以及 Seniors 们，juniors 们与我共渡的这5年岁月。老板，老板娘真的是 workaholic，且 very technically competent。
相信大家对“天下没有不散的筵席”这句话都耳熟能详。离开工作了5年的环境，肯定有些许不舍。可是在同一个环境下工作了5年，也是时候离开了。You'll make yourself too comfortable if you stay/work in the same environment for too long.
对于将来新的工作环境，是有些许担心的。因为难得可以被 US MNC 录取，必须全力以赴地工作，以便可以顺利度过那半年的试用期。
For all those times you stood by me For all the truth that you made me see For all the joy you brought to my life For all the wrong that you made right For every dream you made come true For all the love I found in you I'll be forever thankful baby You're the one who held me up Never let me fall You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'coz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly You touched my hand I could touch the sky I lost my faith, you gave it back to me You said no star was out of reach You stood by me and I stood tall I had your love I had it all I'm grateful for each day you gave me Maybe I don't know that much But I know this much is true I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'coz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me
You were always there for me The tender wind that carried me A light in the dark shining your love into my life You've been my inspiration Through the lies you were the truth My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'coz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me

还记得2009年，我与另外三位朋友参加了我们的第一次 10km marathon (Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore)。跑了那一次的 10km Marathon后，Ei Kai和我陆陆续续参加了一些新加坡的 Marathon Run (Yellow Ribbon Prison Run, Run Against Cancer, Passion Run)。去年，当初一起参加10km Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore的我们，报名了参加半马拉松 21km(Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore), 有一位报名了可是弃权不敢参加。我惟有替他找 replacement。那一次的痛苦经验（对他来说吧），造成他这一次不敢报名参加 Full Marathon (Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore)。最后，只剩下 Ei Kai 和我报名了 Full Marathon(Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore)。

上个月中，第三次呈上我的辞职信。老板说"I'm reluctant to let you go..."。最后，在我的坚持下，他也没法再次把我留下。
接近5年没有update CV，所以花了大概一天时间来更新履历表。然后便开始“狩猎”行动。第一份应征的是 Ufinity (Senior Software Engineer, Operations)。要通过3关： （第一关：1小时45分钟的笔试） （第二关：interviewed by IT Manager 1 hour） （第三关：interviewed by IT Director - 三题 Puzzles 问题 30 mins)
结果：（Although your experience and qualifications are impressive, we have identified a candidate who is more closely suited to our organisation's current needs. Therefore, we will not be proceeding further with your application at this stage.）
其实比较有兴趣的是第二份应征FISGlobals的Technical Consultant。两次的Interview: (第一关：tele-interview with Resource Manager - 1 hour) (第二关：face-to-face interview with ??? Ｍａｎａｇｅｒ － 1 hour)
6月１４日，晚上６时获得的结果：Good News, FISGlobal (US MNC)would like to offer you the Technical Consultant position. 好开心，成功了！
