Make flights halt.


I'm sitting here in the office hoping 6.30pm will never come.

The glass shattered

I'm picking up the pieces in my life ever so slowly.
Perhaps i would never be able to pick up every single piece completely but i will manage.
Very often, the person you love the most hurts you the most.
So why do people still put their heart and soul into loving one person.
That is something i can't understand.
Would you put your hand into the fire knowing that it'll hurt when it burns?
Sometimes i do know.
But i stubbornly dive head first into the fire anyway.

Having been away from home for exactly a month opened up my world.
Having met new people along the way infused so much variety into my life.
There are things that i came to realised along the way.
Like how the world is never fair.
Like how some people can treat you like shit and don't give a damn.
Likewise, some people can make you feel cherished in this big world when you feel insignificant.
The ways of life can be so complicating that i fail to comprehend.

But in this part of the world i saw for myself so clearly.
How he is everything i don't want in a guy.
How feelings can change so unpredictably.
How he impressed me with traits of him that i never did noticed before.
And how foolishly silly i have been.

I don't know if you do read my blog still.
But this is to you:
For ferrying me around on your bicycle without complaints though i know your legs hurt,
For lending me your pockets to hide my hands in when my digits were freezing,
For the many delicious lunches and dinners that you made for me with the simplest ingedients,
For the long boring rides that you took with me to and fro,
For showing me the most interesting places i have never been to,
For the shows you watched with me even though you have watched them before,
For the constant nagging on my train schedule and stuff that early morning,
For going through the train schedule boards with me to ensure that i don't get lost on the wrong train,
For the messages to check if i am safe,
And for being such a bully all the time,
Thank you.

Sights & Sounds Altogether




A collection of the sights:



















-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A collection of the fun:

In Netherlands

Drank in the tranquility of Delft
Loved the late night cycle around town
Breathed in the coolness of the breeze
Absorbed the coldness of the night

Charmed by the old town of Amsterdam
Fascinated by the sights and sounds of the city centre
Absorbed in the modernity of Rotterdam
Delighted by the shops along the streets

Enjoyed the long walks through town and alleys
Fancied the lengthy train rides late into the night
Savoured the moments of fun
Cherished the precious memories

And deeply touched by your actions

Of you

*Dinner*

Made dinner for myself today:
Chicken porridge
Have been eating so much rich food that i crave for something simple.
It wasn't too bad for a first time..
Though it doesn't taste as good as my mom's.











Made a little too much for one person.
But i'll keep the other bowl for dinner tmr.

*Trainings*

I used to think welding was boring and that welding was a dying trade.
True.
It is a dying trade because no one is interested in learning about it.
Even schools just touch and go on this subject.
Now that i have the opportunity to learn about welding,
I realised that it really interests me.
It is nothing like what i thought it was:
Boring job, tough job, dirty job
No doubt it is tough and i get my hands dirtied all the time
But the technology in welding is more advanced than one can imagine.
I was so ignorant about welding then but now i know:
Who would have thought it would be possible to weld on 0.3mm aluminium sheets with minimal distortion and withough burning through?
And even weld the world map onto the aluminium sheet?
I think seeing it for myself changed my perspective totally.
What's more, machines are not just machines.
There is so much to learn about them and there even more that we can do with them.
I am truly mesmerized by it all.







Trying to weld aluminium sheets using CMT (Cold Metal Transfer).
I love this machine!

*Randoms*

Like i said, lessons are more than just theory and practicals.
I ought to showcase the stuff we do during trainings haha.
So:
1) We play tic-tac-toe (Daniel drew the silly faces)
2) We do art & craft out of scrap wires ( I made the nicer heart)
3) I made my sister's name out of AlSi wire ( Made her name by mistake haha)







Sometimes i think Fronius treats me really good.
Cause they send a driver in an Audi A3 to pick me up every morning.



Ok.
Time to shower.
Tschus!

In the fire

I have no photos for today.
Just got back from climbing and i feel so tired.
Don't know if it's physically or mentally.
I don't wish to think about tmr nor the next few days.
Cause i know it'll be hard to get through the rest of the week at work.

Only another 3 days next week before the amsterdam and shanghai/dubai/grand canaria trip.
It'll be one long month before ISSM.
That's when it'll all come together again.
After which, it's only during the Essen show.
And it'll be joe who will come to Nippon Steel.
I detest this dreadful feeling.

I'm a little confused right now.
Not sure if i'm happy or not.
I know things shouldn't be happening.
But things seem to be happening.
And perhaps we both feel it too.

Is it destined to be like that?
So i am destined to keep falling into bottomless pits.
I have yet to crawl my way out of one.
Yet sometimes, i think i have already hit the bottom with that one.

Here in my room





Here's the picture of that little one.





















Rescued him at 430am in the morning off the road.

I thought.
