What would you do for your career? Would you leave home and go overseas for a year or two and come back for that? Would you sacrifice all the time you have in the world to make the most money that you can before you retire?
What would you ask from your career? Office hour, air con conditioned place and you can't get far from with your pay. You want to have everything in the world when you are working, leave anytime, dye your hair, tatoo, everything you name it. But do you think it is possible?
That is what I gained form going to CMPB for their seminar. It was somewhat lucky that my Cousin was serving his NS there and was the person who I need to go to to sign in and my classmate's a regular too! And he's repeating the extra sem with me too!
For me, my career as an Auto Tech has already started since I signed the papers last year. Definately this was one of the few choices that changed my life. I am now finacially free from my mom and everything I do is basically my very own decision.
Yet, the pressure is somewhat big as well as I must not get into any trouble and accidents as I have a sum to pay for in a few 50Ks if I do so. The pay that I'll be taking once I graduate is a preimum above all others in the working society and I have benefits from the goverment. Sounds nice isn't it. Nothing is free in this world.
As a technician, you are required to know everything they require you to know, and most of the time, you'll be elsewhere in the world building up your knowleadge. It'll be hard for me I guess, I got alot of friends, my girlfriends and my family. And my tank of fishes. But that's what I have chosen in life, and I have decided to go on as much as I can now.
We were talking to a Warren Officer aged 32 and he's taking a pay of $5000 per month. And he's over the second stage now, and can continue to work for the army till he retires at 55. Talk about career stablilty.

To the first moment I stepped into the Singapore Indoor Stadium to the last second that Hebe finished her signature on my Encore DVD cover, every moment was the moment.
It blazed off at the Singapore Indoor Stadium where I got my 150 1st row ticket! South gate way the go! It's real nice to go to a concert for a first time and then to make it to the first row to see your favourite artist. It's been wonderful.
The concert started off with S.H.E singing 'Puo Shi Mao' as S.H.E raised one by one to the
stage. Welcomed by screams and cheers, the fantastic trio pulled off every song just perfect. However the sound system didn't play a good part on that but the effort everyone put through made the concert splendid.
The sound system played on them on numbers like ' Gei Wo Duo Yi Dian', 'Always On My Mind' and the encore single 'Superstar'.
The concert had its touching moments as they guided us to see how the three ladies have grown throughout the years.
Hebe started off with her fall on national television and laughter filled the hall. And she even said if her falling makes everyone happy, then she'll F-A-L-L.... And she did a small fell.
Selina with her graduation ceremony got her into burst of tears. She never expected the balance of work and education and now that she's gone over it, she felt it was an effort everyone had pulled off for her and she cried. It's an incredible feat to finish such an accomplishment in such a young age. Selina, you should be happy!
Ella of course ended the moments with her terrible fall that caused her to be bedridden and there was even a scene where some one else had to feed her as she can't move. It was the saddest moments of the concert.
Then at the number ' Hua Dou Kai Hao Le', they talked about their careers in acting in various television dramas and Ella herself, who played lead for 'Qiang Wei Zhi Lian', had the most heartfelt moments on stage. She talked about how she went through having to put on weight for the show and having the bowl hairdo to the lady that she is now on stage; it's a difficult thing to conquer over. The song came up and halfway through the thriller of 'Qiang Wei Zhi Lian' came up and everyone silenced as it was one of the most touching moments of the concert as well.
S.H.E had credits for everyone and anyone who helped them and they gave a long speech for every one of them. This also teaches us not to forget the people who are helping us quietly as time goes on. Never forget your benefactors.
ENCORE!!!
TONG KUAI AND SUPERSTAR. Although seated, I screamed on the top of my voice as if it's a Linkin Park concert!! 'NI SHI DIAN, NI SHI GUANG, NI SHI WEI YI DE SHEN HUA. WO ZHI AI NI, YOU ARE MY SUPERSTAR!! '
Then after the concert Sylvia and I took cab home, uploaded the pictures into the computer and had supper and it's off to IMM, in a merc cab.
Some how I felt everyone was looking at us. Taking a Merc cab and cut queue some more. Seriously thankful for Dean who don't despise since we are no longer in the FC and still letting us join the queue. Thank you Sylvia and DT, you all have been one of the best pals in the FC running round and round as we all chase after a few looks of Ella.
IMM was a terrible 15 hour wait and I slept a few winks away and couldn't stand any more as the session drew near. But when I started my camera I saw I had good view! I could take nice pictures of S.H.E on stage! However, alot of my photos has the Wire-Mesh-Light stick Disturbing thingy inside it. Ambience copyright man. No offenses.
I was thinking why they would want to put up the effort for these posters and decors which one, blocks the views of others, and two, waste time and effort to do. I believe in the eyes for the artistes, these small papers means nothing to the effort that you have already come down and appreciate their music. A better way would be everyone has nice view and everyone enjoys and everyone cheers louder! ISN'T IT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE?
If you want attention, that's the wrong side of the game.
Anyway I'm editing the photos and I'll let people view it as it's not very nice also. Yet however I'm going to keep some precious pictures I took just for myself. It's for keepsake, something special.
Oh, nothing compares to me looking at Ella once again at yet another near distance. I greeted her and she smiled and I praised them that their concert was great and in return she offered a handshake and a thank you! Selina too offered a thanks and handshake and Hebe didn't really look up at all. Her signature seems different from the other previous ones I have. Hey! CHEATING!
Still, may the three ladies soar higher and chase the dreams they never imagined before. As music revoluton-ers, live the revolution!!
