I Miss Hobart

After workin for 4 days, I'm tired. I hope I get used to work soon. For some reason, I'm missing Hobart today. I miss Hobart.

Happy Birthday to the Republic

Five Stars Arising
There's a new moon arising, out of the stormy sea
Youthful and bright and bearing hope, and tranquil as can be
Reach out for the moon above, savour freedom, truth and love
There's a new moon arising, out of the stormy sea

There are five stars arising, out of the stormy sea
Each is a lamp to guide our way; a lamp for all to see
Reach out for the stars above, savour freedom, truth and love
There are five stars arising, out of the stormy sea

There's a new flag arising, out of the stormy sea
Crimson as the blood of all mankind, yet white and pure and free
Reach out for the flag above, savour freedom, truth and love
There's a new flag arising, happy and proud are we

My favourite Singapore song when I was little. More than 10 years ago. More than 15 years ago. We're still on our way there.

NDP, and everything related to it, may be tacky and corny but I can't imagine 9 August without it.

Of Interviews

After a quiet week without any interviews or appointments for interviews, I had one yesterday and another one tomorrow. Why do these things come in waves?

One thing I noticed is that for all the companies I was interviewed for, all commented that they need new people because they are expanding or that business is improving. So I guess the Singapore economy really must be improving. Granted it's not a very scientific way of judging economic activity, I think such anecdotal indications are valid.

Well, I'm still bored. Will someone please hurry up and hire me?

Graduation ceremony in Hobart is on Friday the 5th. I wonder if they really are going to mention my name in absentia.
