Silicon or Bio Valley

Oh well, I set out to go Silicon Valley, but I might end up in BioValley in the end. I think I have kind of decided that it would be the company that's more important than the place itself. I suppose it might be a little disappointing that I am moving away from somewhere I thought I would be. But I am not, I think its because of the exciting companies in Bio Valley. I think that's where the companies that I want to work for are. Silicon Valley has mainly IT firms, and I guess it is really a mismatch of skills and jobs available. Oh well, As I told Iris initially that it is not necessarily a bad thing to go to BV. The only bad thing about it is the feeling of having to allow the Bio Valley people accept you. They are all nice people, and I think I know a couple of them there, so it should be easy for me to integrate. It is therefore more critical for a great company rather than the big name itself. And perhaps the fact that coming back for Startup Singapore would be a great idea, especially with the great track record of the best BV participants. That's my secondary aim I think. Looking at the big picture, I think it is time that I move into the area of Biomedical. Mechanical itself is a dying industry in my opinion. Not that they dun need mech engineers anymore, but the number that they need are much lesser. It is therefore critical I move into a area where I can specialise and do well in.

Wish me all the best. A great company and a great year ahead.

Wish all the NUS/NTU guys all the best too for their exams. Hope you guys do really well. Harhar.

Day of Days

Mugging....................

Exams is just a stone throw away and I am desparately trying not to get distracted. Gotta keep focus now. Spent yesterday in school mugging before a light swim and run. Found a ezlink card, belonging to some girl. Hmm, prolly gotta return it soon. Google is a nice tool. Yah, you can somehow find clues to locate someone. Had nice pizzas yesterday. Shiokz man, but a little expensive. Tempted to get a new bike frame. But I better don't think so much. Shouldnt spend that kind of money now!

Ok. Juz realised the usefulness of infra-red port. I can now dl pictures into my lappy easily. Finally, all projects cleared. And I managed to make it down to zouk last wednesday. Incredibly we manage to enter through Charles' friend. And we see like hundreds of them queuing up. And damn NS boys, bloody hell. If i had a bottle with me, I would have smash it on their heads. NB. Aint too fun sometimes when everyone around you are all army boys. But well, couldnt complain much, that night had great music, if not I was tired, I could have stayed on till later. Gave up at 4. Had a long day liao. Go home and sleep.

Great break before exams and I should be ready to go again. All right, no more zouking until exams are over. No more looking out for pretty girls at zouk either. Lol.

Good luck all for exams.
