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!

//*painful tooth* ~ precious tooth :P
Wow! Its been a very very very very long time since i last posted. The last time was like on my birthday. Sigh the truth is I don't really have the time to blog these days and neither doing my runs as much as I would like to.

This trimester is kinda tough... lotsa home work, tutorials, labwork and assignments to complete. I'm busy enough trying to crap my way out of 750 words to get a pathetic 3 marks.. oh sorry I should say its often less than 2 marks, let alone having the time to really blog in my blog.

Lotsa things have happened for the past one month. My dearest bestie has left the company to pursue something else of her interest. What to do, as her best friend I can only wish her all the best and give her my support in whatever decision she has to make. Its sad to see people around you one by one wanting to leave and yet you're like so helpless about it... but seriously what can I do? Be sad about it then move on... life still goes on.. I still have to answer my clients accordingly... I still have to take care of my other guys accordingly.. cant let such matters bring the morale of everyone down right?

Work also not say very good. Past one month has been hectic. I have been falling sick and having lotsa problems and I am asking myself why I always so many problems one? First I had a toothache... went to see Dr Shawn and he said I need to do root canal cos there's a cracked tooth. Ok.. fine lets do it and I paid half of the root canal treatment for that day... $600 plus plus.. then I'm supposed to prevent it from cracking further cos the next treatment for phase 2 of the root canal will only be like 1 month later... then one fine day... at BK... I ordered a fish burger and then i heard a "crack" sound.. omg.. I have always been so careful.. eating porridge everyday without fail (ok i have to admit its part of my dieting programme) but still! Why I go bite on that area??? then the next day I made an appointment to see Dr Shawn again... This time the news from him wasn't that good though... I have cracked the tooth and its already wu yao ke jiu. The only way is to do an extraction. *ouch painful* but thats not the point.. I was given two options to do bridging or to do a tooth implant... in which both are very very costly treatments with the latter costing me about $4k. I told myself maybe I should check out the government hospitals and perhaps there will be some subsidise or sort.. but to my surprise.. all their fees were even more exp than Dr Shawn's rate! After much of a ding dong here and there.. cancel appointments here and there.. I decided to stick to Dr Shawn and made my appointment for the tooth extraction last tuesday (25th March).

The tooth extraction itself was a painful experience for me. Due to the crack, the extraction had to be done several times and took about 1 hour plus.. longer than what Dr Shawn had expected... and it was indeed painful as I can feel him pulling the last few pieces of the cracked tooth. As the difficulty level was high.. the anaesthic effect slowly subsided.. and soon I see blood all over his medical gloves.. and then the stiching.. omg... and by the time I'm home.. I in pain all over its so hard for me to describe... and the pain lasted for the next few days as well.. till today as I'm blogging I can still feel abit of pain from it. But I think Dr Shawn is really very good and I'm gonna make him my permanent dentist.. Has been very nice and caring.. and kept asking me if I am ok during the whole surgical process... and he kept apologising to me..."sorry ah sorry ah"

Ah so much so about the painful tooth extraction... Have to clear all my emails very soon as I have been away from office for a few days already. Though I have been clearing emails even I'm on MC.. and sending customers email even though I'm on MC.. work is always piling as the days goes by. There's also a research essay due this saturday. Though I managed to get an approval for extension of submission, I would still very much like to get it cleared and over with..


fwah.. then back to school update.. had another series of shodown with the school on examination matters this time round. Not that I like to complain but I personally find it difficult when they are making things difficult for me. What happened was the examinations date was rescheduled with two papers on the same day! What the hell! It was just crazy for me.. how am I to remember process scheduling.. paging .. segmentation blah blah and then crm, strategy, outsourcing, IT governance and etc all in one day? They are just obviously trying to KILL US ALL! and then the complain king me.. wrote an email to the program manager to ask her about all the loopholes from her emails.. like why the need to align when there's no other schools taking the paper.. then someone from my class wrote a very "friendly" email to them that was a shock to me. First the email was stated TO the program manager but the TO Email was TO me. That's so .. unprofessional. Next he tried to send it to the ceo of the school... CEO@XXXX.COM.SG. My first reaction was.. ok great we're now a laughing stock to the school. Who the hell will be so clever to put his email as ceo@xxxx.com.sg? and eventually my other class mates wrote an email to this "friendly" class mate to .. aiyah you know what.. and eventually shutting ourselves away from him :P. Eventually the whole saga came to an end when I called "Miss I Have A Bus To Catch" director... and things started moving abit faster and smoother I must say... and eventually our wish to change the examinations date were granted. I'm seriously wondering why they must always force me to come up with such tactics before things can be done the way we want it to be... I'm a nice guy lo!

Lastly... I'm gonna officially open my hidden blog to my friends, class mates, colleagues, fans!!! :P Hope you're not bored with my blog!

Time to go now. Too much time spent on blogging already.
