I'm looking at several options right now ... including grad school at another university .....

thought of applying to NUS/NTU for that too to be honest, on the other hand, I got a few interviews lined up too .... in vancouver, and in ottawa ... I'll go to them on my road trip and see what goes ....

but yeah, I've been away from friends and family for some time now, so the push and pull factors are both there ... and it's time to seriously contemplate the course of the rest of my life ...

then do the standard civil service operating procedure thing ....

pull out a "format" in the form of a previous proposal .. Laughing

there weren't any previous such proposals...

and here's something i do.. every damned report or proposal or whatever i've written, has been from scratch... which is considered "amazing" to a lot of people here who just go through the motions of things..

i'm going to write the proposal anyway and see it get shot down... i hope it gets shot down..

like one of us working hacks said before.. important and pertinent things, no one bothers about.... useless and pointless things, many people do it diligently..

i dunno if it was an insult or a complement... one officer once said that i should have never become a civil serpent..

DISC personality test is yet another one of those tests that try to define ur personality.

Hee... dont think so. the person I am talking about that's a lot like you is a girl. And so far, I believe u are not = a girl that is.

But that particular paragraph of yours is almost word for word something similar I have heard her say Razz

but seriously, it's how some of us view things around us... some of us like peeling off everything else and seeing it as it is Laughing

Well.. being realistic is great. But you gotta be like... determinedly optimistic to avoid falling into the chasm of cynicism!

Gotta be idealistically realistic. Heehee. Or issit realistically idealistic. ... confusedly communistic?!
