Pre Australia trip I

I’m feeling much better after the past week is over. Watched Just Follow Law during the 2 days which I had MC. It is a good movie wor. The smiles and laughter probably made the illness go away much faster than it would. And now what lingers is a slight pain in my right tonsil and hopefully it goes away soon.

My trip to Australia is not yet certain. I was told that I had been to too many trips and it isn’t nice to hog onto trips like this. Perhaps he didn’t put it in such a negative tone. I told him that it’s ok for me to give up the trip to other guys who want to set out for the trip. I’m fine with it, just that somehow people are busy during the period and coming up with the 6 names to go to Wallaby is as difficult as it can get.

So for now, I’m appointed I.C. for the trip, (again! Sian!) because I’m the most senior in the group. So unless Mr T can get approval from specialist and MO that he is fit to go for the trip, I would be the person to tie up all loose ends and settle all issues should there be any.

So till then, all I need to do is to settle all the admin stuff as officers will be too busy this month to do anything. Good thing is that the officer that I’m to lias with is a very humourous man.

It’s gonna be a good trip to whoever that may be involved. Yup.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Frustrating!

Boo!

Why am I so cui!

Haiyah!

Seriously, I love travelling. By travelling I don’t mean going from Paya Lebar to Boon Lay on a daily basis. I mean I love flying from Singapore to another destination. And if you were observant enough, my msn nick had an airplane sign and beside it is a countdown of my departure date.

No, I’m not going to Japan this year. Instead, I’m heading over to Australia this year again, same destination as last year.

And if you read my blog recently, you would have realised I’m not feeling well. And yes, it is indeed tonsilities. So therefore, I’m facing a dilema. My parents are against me making the trip to Australia as they fear that the virus might struck again even though it usually happens after 1 year plus. I want to go but yet I don’t wish for them to worry about me while I’m there for the whole of 20+ days. Not very nice right, knowing that your parents will worry for you and yet you embark on the journey.

Hai!!!

Sick!

Ahh, sick again. I think I’m very weak ar! My sickness seem to find me always at the wrong time.

Initially it was just a slight sore throat which occurred yesterday. I didn’t pay much attention to it as I thought it was just a slight sore which will go away after drinking more water. Today it worsens and I went to see my family doctor. In the afternoon, a slight fever came. I’ve tried my best to contain it, and for now I think the fever subsided. However, there is still one lingering fear within me.

I’ve had history of tonsilities twice. Tonsilities in simpler terms is actually swelling of the tonsils. So whenever I get a sore throat, I will visit a doctor. And just now, while drinking water, the needle pricking feeling in my tonsils actually existed! Ahhh! Cui ar. I’ve obtained an MC for 6 days in JC2 and 9 days last year. If it was in the month of October whereby there’s no major things to settle, I’m fine with a 6 or 9 days MC. However, next week is impt ar! There’s tasks to do, people coming over to my camp and all. What’s more, the IC and the other 2IC of my unit are away!

Cui cui cui! Please endure! Jia you! Ai Zai!!!!!!

At least until after this week la…

Tremor

Recently, there’s been news that strong Earthquake in our neighbouring countries would send termors down to certain part of Singapore. It has yet to hit the Eastern side … until today.

I just reached home not so long ago at around 7pm. After taking some time to check out the blogs I read daily, I proceeded into the bathroom to get a shower. It was then I felt it. I started to feel giddy and my legs felt wobbly. Of course I didn’t know that it was an earthquake. The bathroom did not show any signs of shaking, therefore, I thought I was too tired and thus feeling the fatigue. It didn’t stop directly. It probably lasted around 10~15 seconds. I nearly fell due to not being able to stable myself. I still thought I was feeling giddy.

Until then, the word Earthquake had still yet to come across my mind. It was only when my maid came knocking on the door and perhaps still feeling giddy, I heard her saying “Egg wig”. I was already feeling giddy and only after she repeatedly say the same words, it began to make sense to me. Earth Quake! Initially, I didn’t feel frightened. I felt enlightened. I was having the feeling like “Oh yah hor! Earth Quake!” Then I realised that I was still naked and pretty much helpless + vulnerable. I quickly finish showering and came out of the bathroom unscathered.

It certainly didn’t feel smart thinking back at it. And I felt that Singaporeans, ok la me, took it for granted that Singapore is a safe country and there’s no need to worry about anything. Most of us are probably not trained in situations like this. When you are calm, you know that you need to hide under a table in case something frop down. However, under real situation, it is highly likely that our mind will be in a blank.

Really need to brush up on my survival instinct man! How could I even continue to bath when I felt tremor!?

Democracy

Sometimes, democracy is not the best way to do things. Yes, you’ve considered their welfare. However, they take their time to come up with the decisions. This causes some problems to your planning and when things get changed at the last minute, it will get very troublesome. It’s hard to find replacement as others might have already planned some other stuff.

However, after you’ve given them democracy, it’s quite hard to implement autocracy. So I’m just saying that there should be a mixture of democracy as well as autocracy when it comes to running an organisation.

As long as i’ve done my best, there’s nothing left for me to worry about.

People whom I thought possess great potential are usually the people who disappoint me most.

Worries!

Hai, for a person aged 20, I think I have too much worries.
