Intro... and I thought for a while what to put here about me. :) What do you wanna know? I am just a simple guy working in an IT Company handling Operations and Project Management. I'm also going through a torturous 16 months "express" double degree course at Kaplan APMI - Murdoch University. In this blog, you will basically find alot of nonsense from me.

I like to complain and yes I complain alot but for things that are not right. If you know me well enough then you will know that I always complain for a reason :D otherwise I am just like any quiet guy next door starring at the laptop screen.

This blog details my daily experiences as well as my training for my runs. I have taken an interest in running since last year and I am working towards completing a Marathon this year... Do feel free to comment or message me I will definitely reply and if you need to email me, feel free to drop your emails to terencetkp@gmail.com!

//Information System Management = Hell Loads of HOMEWORK!
I just came back from my standard run but haha today is not supposed to be my running day :P but yeah I was feeling very frustrated and moody earlier on after coming home from school.. it was just a very sudden feeling that I find it hard survive for the night... and I told myself to go for a run to make myself feel better.. and to wake my body up.. (cos I was pratically yawning all the way just now..)

The timing for today is 32:05:59... quite a good timing.. I was still expecting 33 minutes or more but it turned out to be quite a good timing for me... and so yeah.. another run completed. I guess I'm really in love with running already... ever since that idea of joining SCSM 2007 for 10km started me running.. I just couldnt stop already... I'm like doing more and more .. from the 2.4km runs to 3.2 and then 4.. 5 and eventually hitting my 17 km.. which was the best distance run so far... but yeah.. I have yet to hit anything beyond that... but I have been doing a consistence 5.2km run every alternate days with a 8 to 11km run inbetween different days... and yup I'm working towards my goal of completing my first AHM... still in progress though... and I'm sure I will achieve it. Losing Weight, Getting a good bod and tan is also part of my new year resolutions.. but yeah I will slowly work towards each of them... but for now, I'm pretty happy with my new life.. :)

Alright.. back to what happened today.. I woke up late.. yes.. I know ultra late.. and had to tell NAP to go to work herself first.. after which i went to TM to buy egg tarts for the rest of the guys in office and then stayed in office during lunch time and gotten NAP to help me ta bao... had wanted to eat grumpy auntie's fish soup with mian xian.. but not open so had to eat some nice but oily fish ball mee.. :( The rest of the time in office was rather boring so i dun think I wanna talk about it...

In the evening, I went to school for my 2nd lesson of the trimester. Its an introduction seminar on Information System Management... and sigh.. its a tough course... had to do 11 weekly analysis and critique and a 3k word research paper on any topics involving IT... Everyone is supposed to do a presentation every week on the research topic... so my turn was in week 8.. but yeah I also volunteer for another one in week 9 as there were shortages of people for other topics and one of my bestie and groupie had already volunteered for another one.. so i thought of doing it as well.. I guess the lecturer is good enough for now... and the topic for this subject is actually quite relevant to my area of work.. but for now the thing is the siong part of this subject... it involves quite alot of concepts on the impact of IT on businesses and thus alot of reviews and analysis has to be done to have a firm understanding of the topic. I will try my best again this semester and hope to do well. The next upcoming lesson will be on Saturday at 2pm to 6pm with another lecturer who we are already so familiar with.. so lets see how it goes.

Just some random thoughts for now... I'm just thinking to myself sometimes what makes people wanna complaint? Like for myself for example... I'm a typical complain king ... but I guess I complain over matters that matters... but should the person who gotten the complain be angry with the one who complained about him? I guess he or she has the right to be angry IF he or she has been doing the job accordingly and already trying their best and people are still not satisfied with the results.. but if he is angry just because he kena a complain.. then I guess he or she should go and reflect on his or her own work and attitude. Personally, If I received a complain from a customer, I will firstly ask myself what went wrong? Did I really not do the thing according to what was requested? Did I not put in the efforts that I should? If I am at fault, I will apologise and improve on that particular area.. With the whole school saga about the facilities, for the past two lessons I have seen some small little changes taking place... things are much more proper now.. and I feel that my program manager is at least showing us that he is now trying his best... and I appreciated it. But somehow from this saga... I just have this feeling that we are the bad guys who complain.. and make the life of others a tough one.. Its not just a feeling I guess but the way how some people responded to us makes me feel that way.. but whatever it is... my aim is to finish my studies.. I still like my school.. and I still wanna do well for my examinations and thus I hope to get some closure soon on what happened.. Like what one of my besties in class said to someone else... everyone makes mistakes.. and whats important is that they learn from their mistakes and move on and improve on it...

Time to go bath and do some work... It has really been a tiring day for me. *Nites*
