Cold!

It’s very cold this morning! You could see people breathing out cold air! You know, the “smoke” that comes out of an eskimo or something. Yah! The cold breath! I thought I had fallen sick. Cause it’s like very suddenly the weather took a change to become so cold! Probably only around 10 to 15 degrees celsius. Cold ar!

Being in New Zealand, even though I have connections to the internet, news were not readily passed around here. For example, I hear more stories about Man Utd not getting Owen Hargreaves than Singapore qualifying to the final after defeating Malaysia in the penalties of the erm what cup is it again?

I only today then realised that Xu Wei Lun passed away! Though I have no idea why or where, only knowing that it is cause of an accident.

Woah, sometimes I wished that the stay in New Zealand could be longer. Sometimes I hope that I’m in Singapore now or something.

I used to think I’m very easily satisfied, but now, haha, it doesn’t appear so.

Anyway, soon la, soon I’ll be back to the warm warm country!

It’s about time…

It’s about 2 years since then and I suppose it’s time to move on ba. I’ve repeatedly ask my friends to ask some girls out then we can go play together or something and some have in one way or another done so. I know that I will not go after the girl unless she really attracted me. But I want these experience just so that I could “replace” some of mine. During this overseas trip, I’ve sometimes been thinking and I suppose the length of time, had in more ways than one, told me to move on.

I won’t deny that I’m sentimental or emotional. However, some issues are not suppose to be kept so long. I won’t say that I’ve not been finding. In fact, I’ve been actively looking. In Friendster, Wholivesnearyou, etc. However, I’ve not taken a single approach.

Reason being that I couldn’t put down my feelings to commit to another person yet. Perhaps it’s due to the lack of chances, less interaction with the opp. sex, lack of motivation,  loss in confidence, or just plainly giving some lame excuses like all of the above.

I don’t wish to blog about feelings. I’ve said so so many times, yet time and again, I pen it down and published it and only finding that after a few months, I close the blog down. I’m not sure about this time. I’ve grown fond of this blog and I like wordpress very much as compared to xanga or blogger.

How I wish life is just like a game. You could always save midway, quitting when you took a wrong step and go back to the save point, just to start again and know what steps to take. However, imperfections are just part and parcel of everybody’s life. In fact, if your life is perfect until now, it’s pretty scary thinking how badly you will react when you take a wrong step.

Relationships aren’t like games. You can’t restart. Even if you patch, I suppose feelings will not be the same as when you were initially dating. I don’t know. I’ve read from xx that she has friends who are very close and break when they felt that they are not doing so well in their relationship only to patch and love each other much more. I don’t know…

But well, it’s 11 more months till I ORD. If I manage to get that tingly feeling again….

Hello!

Blogging from the South leh!

So exciting, finally got my hands on the Wifi!

For your information, it’s 5 hours and 10 minutes faster here, therefore, while I’m blogging at 1:48pm, you guys are still at 8:48am and therefore, still sleeping.

The temperature is like 5 to 19 degrees celsius, therefore, it can get very cold!

Life here is pretty amazing, will update more about the life here when I get back to mainland!

Yup, that’s about all for now, cheers!

为爱而生！

你们都应该知道五月天是我最喜欢的团体吧。所以当我知道他们发行了新专辑，我非常兴奋。The Straits Times 还给他们的专辑打了四颗星！这张专辑含有五月天五位成员的作品,因此可说是非常五月天! 天团就是天团, 太棒了!
里头的歌我只听了一首…

他们的主打歌…

为爱而生

就等你的一个眼神
就能为你长征
为你占领所有边城
和天上的星辰
如果你一个笑
如果你一个吻
更多伤痕更多牺牲
就让爱更动人
就让爱更永恒
只因我为爱而生
只因为我为爱而生
我来到这个世界
这个人生为你而生存
只因我为爱而生
只因为我为爱而生
就让我越爱越疯
越陷越深越执著的灵魂

曾经灿烂曾经沸腾
就不会有悔恨
即使化成无名烟尘
在故事的尾声
爱是一种天分
还是一种天真
我不多想我不多问
让爱忘了分寸
让我奋不顾身
只因我为爱而生
只因为我为爱而生
我来到这个世界
这个人生为你而生存
只因我为爱而生
只因为我为爱而生
就让我越爱越疯
越陷越深越执著的灵魂

为爱而生吧!

Cosafe

I made my way down to Cosafe for dinner tonight! From reviews I’ve read, it appears that the service was bad and that waiting time for the food is quite long.

Well, some months from then, the waiting time is on average 15~20 minutes. However, for me and kk, the waiting time took 30 minutes due to some miscommunication whereby our fish and chip were not recorded. Due to this, we enjoyed a 10% members’ off! Member leh!

The fish and chip is ok-la, though the pricing is a bit too steep at close to 17 bucks when compared to that of fish and co. However, they had a “maid” theme, therefore it could be justified ba. The review stated that the “maids” weren’t train, however, I suppose Singapore and Japan must have lotsa differences la, therefore, maybe in the distant future, if this cafe proved to be a hit, competition increases, you might get a different experience ba. From animes, it appears to me like working as a “maid” is not a “clean” job. But in Cosafe, it definitely is la.

It’s also quite obvious who stand out the most. Her tall height and good looks definitely gave her the advantage. Coupled with her not-so-shy personality, she must have been the eye candy of quite some people I suppose. Surprisingly, no one took a picture with her. Or rather, I didn’t see anybody taking a photo with her la. Too bad I didn’t have a camera there.. But she might be taller than me! Haha!

If you people are thinking of going there, I advise you to go on Fridays and Saturdays (those are the days which she work) and choose to sit outside. Yup! Should be going there again, but not in the near future.

Itekimasu!

Driving

First and foremost, I would like to extend my gratitude to the Uncles and Ladies out in the main road for giving me patience and not honking me. Especially so to the nice bus driver when my car stalled twice and he nearly hit me, but still, he didn’t honk me! Today is my second lesson. As much as I would like to say I improved tremendously from my first lesson, the car still jerked quite a bit while I’m trying to move from a complete stop as well as changing to gear 2.

It’s not as easy as I though it would be. But I shall not be dishearted as I think I nearly got the hang of it during the end of the lesson! At least the stalling part decreased by quite a bit, though in comparison with most people, I think my car still stalled on quite a few occasions. However, it will be another 5 weeks before my 3rd lesson! Argh! Later go back I doubt I could show any signs of improvement.

Still, driving is a nice experience!

Bowling!

It’s the inter unit bowling competition! Initially, due to Exercise, our unit had been taken away from this competition. Therefore, during the December Holidays we only had one training session. However, we were told yesterday that we were participating in the competition.

I bowled scores of 97, 134(my personal high score) and 123(Last frame turkey ok!) respectively. Average is 118. I was thinking that an average score of 120 should be enough. However, out of the 91 bowlers, I’m ranked 16th. Which is also not a bad position la.

But the more important thing was that…. the team got 4th! Largely due to the consistent result by the 5 members! *clap* A remarkable achievement considering there’s 23 teams taking part in the competition. Further enhanced by the fact that the top 3 bowlers and the winning team was just beside us, meaning lowering morale and all.

Good thing that only the top team, instead of the top 3 teams, got award. Otherwise sure dui one!

New Zealand!

Barely one month after I touched down from Australia, I’m going to New Zealand on the 20th of Jan! It will be 22 days this time, with me arriving back on the 10th of Feb. As per normal, it is a military sponsored trip. I’m excited, of course, but it would be good that Johnny could go as he so desired this trip. Sigh, but I don’t call the shots though..

New Zealand leh!

Australia Trip – Part 8 (Friends)

When you are overseas, friends are all that you depend on. For your company, to let the days pass easier. I’m very blessed to stay in Camp and also having the comfort of new found friends. Thanks to this bunch of people, I’ve had a memorable stay in Rockhampton. Special mention to my Unit mates, Ray, Master Singa as well as Calvin. Calvin called me “Chio chio” (Smile Smile in hokkien) because I’m always smiling even though the working hours is very long! That somehow caused me to realise I’m actually enjoying my time there. However, without you or Master Singa, it might not be as pleasant.

On a side note, it is really very funny ma! Waking up and people jio you to drink beer, red wine, potato chips. Haha! But thanks! I appreciate it!

He probably deserve a special mention on my blog. That is Ray, born in the year 1986 and ORD-ing in March. When the other 3 camp mates left for outfield, he always jio me for lunch and dinner. Very trival hor? But actually, if I was to spend lunch and dinner alone, days might not be able to pass so smoothly leh! You see, eating together means talking about life and stuff. He got many friends there, but by chosing to eat with me, he probably had a good impression of me. But sadly, I didn’t cherish that friendship as I should have due to work commitment.

I wanted the Exercise to go smoothly, therefore, I spend more effort on monitoring the progress.

Something he said caused me to feel very guilty. He said something like “I believe that when you treat somebody nice, the other party will treat you back just as nice.” Which I didn’t on 1 occasion. Then he mentioned “I believe in karma.”

Haha, therefore, now that I look at my surroundings, I believe in Karma too! Some of my friends don’t deserve what I’ve done for them. But anyway, that’s a new blog entry for another day.

Overall, I had a very satisfactory trip in Australia. I’ve gained new insight and learned some social skills as well as some personal development skills which I believe will help me greatly.

Thank you to my unit and to my sir for giving me this opportunity and lastly, a big thank you to people who made life so enjoyable there!
