The journey of Hong Kong
The hong kong trip… I was fun n excited in the beginning as me and my family make the way to the airport at 5.30am… then when I reach the airport, got a surprise! I met my church pastor there also as he’s going to Cambodia with 3 of my church members… so qiao… haha… then the flight was delayed cos one runway was closed so all the plane have to land and take off at the same runway, and landing planes have priority, so that’s why…
We reach hk at abt 12.30pm… after that we went back to hotel b4 going for sightseeing… the hotel was a great disappointment… it’s sooooo small that after putting in the luggage, there’s NO space to walk, and some more must shift the bed in order to open the fridge!
But that didn’t dampen our spirit la… cos I think we’ll spend most of the time outside… the tour guide bring us for a desert b4 going ladies street for shopping, after that a temple which I dun understand what’s going on, then dinner at lei yue men… then go to Victoria peak for a great view of hk city… but too bad can only stay there for 15mins.. cos I really love the view and the temperature there… abt 18 deg…
2nd day there… we went for dimsum breakfast b4 going to repulse bay, stanley market, aberdeen fishing village, jwellery factory… but like v rush so didn’t get to see much in each place… after that went for a roast goose lunch which I eat quite a lot… then we went to the train station to go Shenzhen… took abt 45mins b4 we reach the immigration, and have to stamp the passport twice… haha…
In Shenzhen, the traffic there is move on the right side one, cos is china liao ma… haha… the hotel there was a total difference from hk… there it’s so big and cozy, with a big lobby & a Christmas tree there… and I really hope I can stay there for the whole trip… we went for dinner which I can’t each much cos I too full after eating too much lunch… then went for shopping… there the things are really cheap… like only abt 1/3 of the price here…so buy a lot of things there… but too bad only got 2 hrs, have to rush like crazy… :p
3rd day… got a buffet breakfast at the hotel café…there got play Christmas carols but the CD keep on getting jam… so quite funny also… haha… then we go to windows of the world where the whole’s famous landmark are all there! Like the paris effiel towel, Nigeria falls, etc etc… there also got a snowcity and we get to go in for a while and experience temp of -10 deg… wow soooo cool…
After lunch, went for a ‘medical talk’ and my parents spend like more than $1000+ sing dollar for the medicine… hope it works well… then we went to splendid china but we only got 45mins there so have to rush like crazy again… we just took the tram and finish everything in less than 30mins and didn’t absorb anything at all except for some randomly shot photos which are unclear due to the fast moving tram… like wasting money sia… L but the cultural was great… after that pay S$8 for a dinner which seems to be the worse one for the trip… then we went back to hk…
On 4th day, in the morning f&e b4 we go Disneyland at 10am… it was suppose to be a fun-filled day after reaching there… but the weather was like so hot so a bit sian… then after a while my brother starting to feel dizzy and sick so he and my mum go back to hotel first… so left me and my dad… we just walk around and took some rides… the queue were so long so like one ride took abt 1hr… also ate lunch n dinner there, plus managed to catch the beautiful fireworks there…
But after we left Disney, things starts to turn bad not just for me, but the whole tour group… my bro was already puking vomiting n diahorrea in the hotel and I also started puking on the way back to hotel.. think is the stupid dinner at disney’s starliner cos after eating that I started to feel werid… plus a few others also starting vomiting b4 that… so 3 of us went to the hospital…
Throughout the night I keep vomiting and having diahorrea… sianz man… haven had that for v v long time liao.. then had to have it overseas.. LLL but not just me and my bro… but another 10 ppl in the group also fall sick at the same time.. so together like 12 out of 17 ppl in the group were sick on the last day.. so no mood for shopping at all but to go hospital or lie on the bed…
So everyone was like dying as we left the hotel to the airport… then we were late due to all the waiting… plus have to take so many travellators to reach the aircraft… almost died… then another bad thing… the plane couldn’t take off due to some fault, and we had to sit in the plane for almost 1 ½ hrs b4 it took off… plus the dinner provided was sucks too… although we already had no appetite the sucky dinner plus the delay made it worse… so in all the last day was a total disaster…
But thank god we’re all back safety in one piece and have recover from the illness...
We reach hk at abt 12.30pm… after that we went back to hotel b4 going for sightseeing… the hotel was a great disappointment… it’s sooooo small that after putting in the luggage, there’s NO space to walk, and some more must shift the bed in order to open the fridge!

Booking out after 1 week & Asian Food Fair...
Finally, i get to book out after staying in camp for 1 week for the exercises... although during the 7 days we did not clock as much hours per day as compare to normal duty days due to NS men helpout, we're still very tired... think is because we did not sleep normal hours for too many days ba (cos have to do duty at night ma)...
there's 1 day where i even stay on the bed for abt 12 hrs.. but still tired after that, cos got alot of distraction in the bunk as ppl go and come back from duty and of course noise will be generated... the funny thing is when i slp i set the alarm but it ring immediately... as it is the analog type so if its on it'll ring every 12 hrs..haha...
during those 7 days also got to wear helmet for duties on some days and also 1 of the day must eat combat ration... its quite tiring to wear helmet for duty as it's heavy... feel like fainting after 4 hrs... but thank god he brought me through all these and it's back to normal now... by right it shd be 'special' for tmr as there's NS men so we do not have to do so much but last min they say they are only doing till today, so tmr is back to normal routine... so it's really 'normal' duty back again from now...
then today i went for the asian food fair... nowadays like those food and IT fair are getting more and more popular... every 3 mths got one... another IT showm SITEX is coming next thurs to sun... shd be going down but dunno if will buy anything or not... going broke liao... today just bought some nougats for $30...

last sat, our whole base had a recall exercise... it involves all the sqn in the base so everyone had to go back... for me as my shift was mounting that day so i'm already in camp... luckily they go the recall at 10am which is still not so bad as it doesn't the rest of the weekend... for that one they just go sign can go off liao..
as next week we're having an exercise, the last sat was like just a 'practice'... the real one will like come this coming weekend, either sat or sun... so like very sianz cos have to keep on standby and cannot go out freely... then the worst thing is for this recall is not just sign and go off... will have to stay in for abt a week...
so dunno got chance to go church or not, if not i'll miss having youth service for 3 mths, as the other 2 wks i'm mounting... there's no youth service since 10 Sept and if i miss this sun one, the next one i can go is 10 Dec... althought got the youth camp from 1-4 Dec, at least better...

Great World CIty
went to great world city on fri, just after bookout... it's been quite long since i last went there and there're some changes there... Got new basement 2 but then the whole shopping centre looks quite dead even on fri nite... i think is becos of the location (must take bus) and after OG left, there's not much other things to do...
i went there to meet up with my former crusade DG members... we have commited to meet once a month, and the reason it's held there is becos the staff got a discovery weekend at BB HQ just beside great world... so managed to revisit the place and to catch up with the rest, esp 1 of them is going ex-wallaby next mth...

DeepaRaya holiday!
it's the starting of the festive seasons! with deepavali and hari raya just days apart... but as i was doing shift duty i was on duty from last fri to sun, thus was working thru the deepavali... then i off on mon and tue, which includes today's hari raya puasa...
yest i went back to SP crusade to meet up with some friends... quite alot of NS guys went back yest, esp those in BMT as tue is holiday so usually they won't ask the recruits to go back tekong for just 1 day, so they give them off...
we decided to go for dinner, together with the rest of the crusaders... at first we planned to go thai express at tiong bahru plaza, but it was full house liao... then our group like very big.. abt 20+ ppl... so we decided to go to harbour city restaurant which is like very little ppl inside and is the only place which can accomodate us in one piece... it's like quite a high class restaurant then to us ppl which behave like we're in clementi kopitiam like very funny... also the food is very ex.. a plate of fried rice cost $9++... then beside that my table alone got $17 worth of peaunts, tea, towel... so is like each person must pay $12...still got another table...
beside that it's quite good to rekindle those days together while i'm still student, and catch up with them... but now the trend still like not much year 1s are joining us seniors... hope more can join in the future...
and btw, selemat hari raya puasa!

a peaceful mount...
after an evenful mount last week (which i can't elaborate much as it is sensitive, cos it's SAF ma), nothing much happened this week... just that too many ppl got att C so there's not enough manpower... have to do 24 hrs duty over 2 days... usually is around 20 hrs...
nowadays the haze seems to be getting worse... the PSI is over 100 for some of the days... have to wear maze for duty if not cannot stand the smell... and somemore it's unhealthy... and i think becos of the haze more ppl are falling sick...
yest after dismount we were told to clear some of the prows... but the one which i'm working on got a big ant nest there so we could not finish the task... after that some of us went to sakura at parkway parade for a high tea buffet... it cost $16.90... is consider cheap compare to alacarte sushi as the market price is $1.90 per plate... but if compare to lunch which is $20, is consider ex cos the lunch got alot more things, beside the sushi...

Christmas Decoration in Orchard & going to HK in Dec...
today i passed by orchard road and they've already start putting up the christmas decorations... esp those outside paragon and crown prince hotel... but the rest not up yet except the lights on the trees... but most should be up within the next 2 weeks... and also the chinatown mooncake festival lights will end today...
yest went to chinatown with my family to book the tour to hong kong... the package cost like $900+ then plus taxes all these more than $1000... cos is the holiday season so no choice lor... my bro can't go other time... then dun want to take budget airline as the flight is 4 hrs... will only take to thailand if i want i think...
i going there from 5 - 9 Dec so have to apply overseas leave... just nice right after my church PULSE camp which is from 1 - 4 Dec... like going to be the same story as 2003 as this time round got Asian games in Doha during this period instead of SEA games... luckily the Meta is on 26-30 Dec and not clashes during the same week as in 2003... ironically, i last went for holiday with my family in 03 and the last PULSE camp was also in 03...

Vivocity
since vivocity opened last week, i've went there twice to have a look... it's a very big mall, but currently not all the shops are opened... there's even some pools, water features and an amphitheatre on the level 3 rooftop... the mall also got 3 big food courts, not to say there's another 2 at harbourfront mall...
as for other things harbourfront mall already got the BiG store which is quite big then now there's even more things at Vivo... confirm this place is bigger than suntec and perhaps we'll be meeting here for gathering in the future...

Fare increase from tomorrow...
From tmr, bus and train fares going to increase again... this time round the fare increase seems to be more than last year... last year bus only raise by 2 cents but this year those above band 3 increase 3 cents... i think is becos now they didnt increase the cash fare that's why, even though the overall increase is lesser... like kena 'cheated' cos most of us use ezlink instead of cash...
but luckily concession pass didnt increase, and i'm still eliglible for concession pass for the next 4-5 years or so... now NS then after that in uni... so dun care abt it lor... just buy the pass and use it's benefits... hope the won't increase the pass next yr...
and btw, happy children's day! haha...

funny sia... all 3 phones not working properly...
currently as i'm in national service and the camp doesnt allow us to bring camera handphone... so i dig up some of my old phones to use... these phones are quite old model liao and may sometimes give problems..
then today the phone that i usually use the batt suddenly run down very fast and the 'battery empty' signal came out quite soon... the 2nd phone also no more batt... then the 3rd one although the batt is full, the phone could not detect the SIM card... so it's like having 3 phones but still have to be uncontactable... SWEAT!

more stress in PLAB...
after doing just 1 mount at plab, have started to feel the stress here as compared to tengah... it's more strict here at plab and also the punishment for mistake is higher... so a mistake might meant staying in for more than a week... in tengah, it may mean staying back for only 4 hours for a few dismount day...
but maybe the stress also adds up as i was doing main gate for the mount... i've never done there b4 during april b4 we get posted out... i only did there during the OJT...

Pulau Ubin Cycling (17/09/06)
on sunday, some of my church youth went for a cycling trip at pulau ubin... actually it's part of the DOT retreat for youth leaders from fri to sun... but i'm currently not a youth leader yet, i only went for the ubin trip...
we only set off at 2pm, which at first i think was quite late as i think we may need quite a long time to cover the island... it's also my 1st time to Ubin, so i dunno anything there... become like a tourist.. sweat! haha.... we went cycling around the island but unfortunately we only managed to cover the westen part of the island cos there's not enough time for the eastern part... another time ba... we managed to see an old quarry and also a beach facing malaysia... at some parts the HP network change to Malaysia maxis, DiGi or CELCOM... dunno why malaysia's signel seems to be stronger then singapore... must check b4 using the phone otherwise will b overseas call then sianz liao...
throughout our stay at ubin from 2 to 6pm, it didn't rain at all as compared to the past 2 days where it keep raining like crazy...although the sky did turn quite dark with lots of cloud and very windy towards 6pm... but god hold the rain as we're still cycling out in the open... after these 3 days of going outing in outdoor, i really feel that god is really protecting the events from being ruined by the rain... everything for the 3 days was mostly carried out as planned with only some slight delay... God is good!
but while we're on our way back to mainland, 1 of us found that she's left her handphone at the coffeshop at ubin... sianz... but really thank god cos it was handed to the owner of the shop and she kept it for her... at it was already past 6pm so nobody is going to ubin at that time so she had to pay $20 instead of the usual $2 to take the bumbboat there... but it's better then losing the phone...
we had dinner at changi village hawker centre and i eat stingray again, after having eat that quite alot the day b4... like those thing i seldom do one but when do will do it more than once within a short span of time... like going to beach and BBQ... think may not always happen but it's true, for the past 3 days at least...
i agree shared cab home with 3 other ppl living near me so can reach home faster but have to pay la, cos i got bus & train concession liao but it takes super long to go by that...
we only set off at 2pm, which at first i think was quite late as i think we may need quite a long time to cover the island... it's also my 1st time to Ubin, so i dunno anything there... become like a tourist.. sweat! haha.... we went cycling around the island but unfortunately we only managed to cover the westen part of the island cos there's not enough time for the eastern part... another time ba... we managed to see an old quarry and also a beach facing malaysia... at some parts the HP network change to Malaysia maxis, DiGi or CELCOM... dunno why malaysia's signel seems to be stronger then singapore... must check b4 using the phone otherwise will b overseas call then sianz liao...
throughout our stay at ubin from 2 to 6pm, it didn't rain at all as compared to the past 2 days where it keep raining like crazy...although the sky did turn quite dark with lots of cloud and very windy towards 6pm... but god hold the rain as we're still cycling out in the open... after these 3 days of going outing in outdoor, i really feel that god is really protecting the events from being ruined by the rain... everything for the 3 days was mostly carried out as planned with only some slight delay... God is good!
but while we're on our way back to mainland, 1 of us found that she's left her handphone at the coffeshop at ubin... sianz... but really thank god cos it was handed to the owner of the shop and she kept it for her... at it was already past 6pm so nobody is going to ubin at that time so she had to pay $20 instead of the usual $2 to take the bumbboat there... but it's better then losing the phone...
we had dinner at changi village hawker centre and i eat stingray again, after having eat that quite alot the day b4... like those thing i seldom do one but when do will do it more than once within a short span of time... like going to beach and BBQ... think may not always happen but it's true, for the past 3 days at least...
i agree shared cab home with 3 other ppl living near me so can reach home faster but have to pay la, cos i got bus & train concession liao but it takes super long to go by that...
another BBQ...
on saturday evening, my friend invited me to his 21st birthday party at a garden near his house at c'wealth... it's also near my old house... the friend was actually my pri & sec sch friend... we also study the same poly but diff course...
it was a BBQ so that means i had 2 BBQ in 2 days... wow... sounds good but like eating too much fried stuff liao... but this bbq as it was held at the place where it's surrounded by buildings, it's quite hot as there's not much wind, even though the weather was supposely the same as the day b4 at east coast... once again, god is good as even though it also rained for the whole afternoon but the rain stopped once we start the fire... god really answer the prayer...
as i was the in the same pri & sec sch, i know quite alot of friends there compared to some others... so it was also like catching up on those friends whom i've not met for quite long... what a wonderful combination... haha...

is like a waste of time cos i need to take 1 1/2 hr to go there and another almost 2h to come back... plus need to wake up by 4.30am cos i live quite far... but thank god still can get the weekend... then mon i think will be quite 'xiong' becos the IMF still on and got more task to do...

SPCCC BBQ - (15/09/06)
yesterday SP crusade had a bbq at east coast... since it was my off day so i decided to join them for the fun...
the weather was like it was already raining on and off since thurs evening for yest it rained for most part of the morning and cont till afternoon... when i reach there at abt 3pm it was still drizzling... so we waited at the mac for quite a while... the rain still did not really stop so at first we tot of shifting the bbq to someone's house... but thank god we didnt cos there's alot of things to carry and that it stop raining when we reach the pit!
throughout the whole event besides a few drops of drizzle it didnt rain, althought sometimes the sky looks quite cloudly... really really thank god for it cos i'll be a mess if it were to rain while we were bbqing...
so becos it has been raining for the whole day the weather was super cool, esp since we're at the beach with the SW monsoon wind it blows directly to the beach... and the wind was cold! it was even colder then aircon... this is also the 1st time that i dun sweat at all at BBQ... usually i'll be sweating like crazy... so it was very comfortable to do the BBQ and also since the wind was so cold that we need the bbq pit for warmth if not our hands are going to froze.. haha... but i think becos of the cold wind the food took very long to cook... the chicken like put there 1/2 hr also not totally cook... wait until we're all starved..
really thank god for the whole yest and also when i go back with some of us, the bus arrived within 1 min when we reach the bus stop... some ppl decided to stay overnite but i didn't cos not prepared for it plus i need to go back camp... dunno did it get much colder in the wee hours.. hehe...

Farewell Tengah!...
this morning marks the last time that i'll be going to tengah air base officially... we went there for the CO dialogue which was also planned so that they could thank us and bid farewell to us...
actually we had already finished our last duty on mon and brought our stuffs back to plab, so this is an extra thing... i think what i'll miss from tengah is the short travelling time (since i live so near to it), and also the canteen food esp the nasi lemak and chicken cutlet... these can't be enjoyed at plab... now will get a work 2 rest 2 day and alternate weekend... hopefully that manning stays...
then today confirm that we'll need to go back to plab on saturday... sianz... heard that need to stay 1 night and that'll be sat night... like will mess up alot of schedule... cos of the IMF thing lor... now can only prepare for the worse and hope for the best...

TAB Delta Outing...
Yesterday, our tengah airbase delta platoon had an outing for the farewell to those from Paya Lebar and also before the platoon get split... those from PLAB, like me, had already finished the last duty there and will go back to plab on fri... we'll only go back to TAB on thurs for the last time for the CO dialogue... as for the delta shift, it'll be split into the 3 shift so they'll no longer be mounting together... so it's like this is the one and only time that we could gather together, together with the old and new specs...
we went to the Sakura buffet restaurant at science centre... becos it's a weekday so there's not much ppl and only a section is open... but becos of us they got to open another section and also the aircon... like we're very big like that but we're the biggest group of the day lor... haha... the food still the almost the same as the last time but there's no fried salmon, which is what i like... sianz... now got dory fish fillet... also satay still taste good but the shark's fin is still not very nice... too sweet and dont have the correct taste...
after that, some of us went to jurong pt to watch a movie, Little Man... it's quite a funny show, with a man who's very short acting like a baby... some of us also played aracade b4 that then they like 'pull' me to play and scan the card for me cos i don't play aracde one and dun have the card... we actually intend to have dinner together first but we're still quite full from the buffet so we decide not to have it...
can say it's a fruitful day, but will feel a sense of farewell as i dunno if there's any chance in the future that we could go out together, given that we're having diff schedule liao... but see u all and the base for the last time tmr...

COMEX is here again!
It’s time for another mega IT show event COMEX… it was held from last thurs to sun at Expo… Last year it was at Suntec but I think cos of the IMF so it was changed to Expo… it’s further la, but I still go down as the things there are cheaper…
I only managed to go down on Sunday with Zhi Qiang, the last day becos I was in camp on thurs and fri then sat I went to the RASF open house… when I reach expo mrt it was like so crowded until the entire platform was filled with ppl… but this is expected lar, and on sun there’s at least 2 or 3 churches having service there…
It was quite crowded along the walkway but once inside the hall, it’s not so squeezy along most parts although there’s still some major bottleneck junctions where ppl come from all 4 direction squeezing pass one another…
after walking through the halls, I bought a 40GB external photo bank hard disk, which means that I can transfer the digital cam photos into the hard disk without a PC… this is useful especially in overseas where with my current photo taking rate, 1 GB of memory card won’t be enough if I want the best quality… beside that I also bought some DVD+R disc and also managed to buy another battery for my camera for standby… I also found the Inke Refill booth which they actually provide free ink refill for everyone for each cartridge… so I managed to refill two cartridge but I dunno the quality yet as I’ve not tested it…
after the show, we went to tampines as zhi qiang wants to buy a shirt… we also have dinner there… it’s been more than 1 year since I went there so its’ quite refreshing I guess… then heard that the next IT show event, SITEX 2006 is on 30 Nov to 3 Dec, which is like going to clash with alot of other events... so see how lor...

RSAF day / Open house & COMEX...
it's end of aug and the annual RSAF day and COMEX are here again... this year, being part of the air force, i should be involve with somethings on 1 Sep, most likely is direct traffic la, cos RP ma... haha...
the open house will be at paya lebar air base which i wont be involved with cos i still in tengah till 15 sep... should count myself lucky, cos just got the new schedule that my shift is off on this sat & sun again! means i got the whole weekend... still thinking whether want to go for the open house or not... many ppl i know will be there and i should be going back on 15 sep...
then also got the COMEX from tmr till sunday... another IT show and i definately wish to go... althought still havent decide what to buy yet, but i think will burn a big hole in the pocket once i start buying... this year is at Expo, so it's like 1hr + journey to go there compare to suntec which is at a centralise location... there is from 1 end to the other for those at the west side like me... hehe...

another sunday, & 2nd last b4 ZQ enter NS...
it's another sunday and as it's the last sun of the month, my church have combined service with the adult instead of youth... as the adult service only starts at 1030am instead of 9am, we'll usually have our cell grp first at 9am... after not having go for a full combined service for a few months, i think the situation still the same...
usually when come to combine service, many ppl would tend to overslept or lazy to wake up earlier to come for the cell grp at 9, even though most ppl can make it for service... this phenomenum is like going on for the past 3 years, (which i'm also gulity of it b4, during those time when i was bz with study and choir)... i think must do something abt it...
then my cellgroup most ppl are in NS now so our attendace is not so regular.. with zhi qiang going in next fri, i think attendace will get worse... must pray that most of us will be able to have our sun free and that we can continue to meet up and pray for one another...

today as there's some ppl from the NDP contingent helping out during the day, our shift can book in later in the evening at 5.30pm instead of the usual 7.30am... so got an extra 10hrs to do my things at home...

More helpouts in duty...
for the past 2 days, we had those NDP and ASLC ppl helping out in the duties... currently those ndp guard of honour are still rehearsing for the RSAF day but not as many days as the ndp, so they could helpout more... also the aslc has just passed out and waiting to get their sgt rank to be specs... now they just helpout in some of the duties...
as such we did much lesser duties compared to other days... on the 1st day i only stand like abt 2 hrs and 2nd day i stand 3 hrs then after that rest for 11+hrs before doing 2.5 hrs... then this morning do 4 hrs... so do less than 12 hrs for 2 days... usually when low manpower we can do 12 hrs in just 1 day... so is consider slack liao...
another weekend duty this week, tmr and sun... not so xiong during wkend cos so gates are not open, but couldn't enjoy the weekend... next wk then i think can enjoy both sat and sun cos i taking sat off... then can go for my church service fully on sun...

Festival of Praise 2006 (Sun)
Today i managed to get some ppl from crusade going, but no church ppl going... sianz... this year really quite low profile as crusade also only got around 10... still rem last year sun got almost 40 ppl in the group... (can refer to last year's posting) hehe...
we plan to meet at kallang mrt at 4.45pm but as me and zq go straight from church so will reach there late... they decided to go first to book place... but now as the PA office there cannot pass through liao so have to walk the long way and i think they got lost or wat... in the end we take bus there and reach ahead of them.. sweat rite.. haha... then today even better.. there's no queue at all when we reach... the door has open liao of cos.. so managed to enter the stadium in 1 min... hahaha... some more still got front seats... at first sianz cos i tot really no hillsong ppl not coming liao... but after a while still ok.. most ppl come at 6+ and total got abt 3/4 full... although compare to last year full house is still less and weird cos fop usually is nearly full house...
for the 2 days the speaker El Silvoso spoke about things related to The Market Place which i think is quite relavant... the market place doesnt have to be doing business... it can be your school too... the speaker also spoke quite powerful...
this year also the whole thing ended quite early... yest end at 9.30pm and today at 10pm... last year for the last night ends after 11pm and have to take taxi home... can say that this year's event is better organised and more orderly than last year's where ppl keep cutting queue.. haha we do it also.. feel so guilty... managed to take public transport home this year and reach home by midnight...
heard next year delirious is coming back.. yeah... but dunno got hillsong or not... lets look forward to it... 3-5 Aug 2007... think that time i starting sch in NTU.. haha...

Festival of Praise 2006 (Sat)
This year's FOP features Don Moen and Christian City church (Syd) band... But this year not many ppl from my church went... asked quite alot of ppl but only a few interested...
Today i only managed to to get 1 of my church ppl and his friend to go... so we just 3 ppl go. cos some can only go tmr... compared to last year's of almost a group of 30 ppl (church n crusade) cos a few crusade ppl go and book queue then we join in n cut the queue later... but this year's the door open earlier and there's more usher around so cannot cut queue... we reach there around 5.30pm, and tot we should be at the very far end of queue... but the queue wasn't long and we managed to get in the stadium in 20 mins.. quiet fast huh? hehe.. and we still managed to get a good seat... even those come after 7pm still got seats... last year like those come after 5.30 cannot enter cos full house liao...
the show itself is still alright, with CCC band coming in first then Don Moen... this year the worship is not as 'jumpy' as last few years where hillsong is around... all stay in their seats compared to all rush down to the bottom when hillsong was around...

Phones got problems...
Yesterday in camp, my phone's keypad suddenly went dead... All the buttons when press got no response and if there's a call u can only see the phone ringing but no way to answer it... sweat... then my other phone think the SIM card reader got problem and even when there's SIM card in it, it still says 'Insert SIM card'... so my phone line was down for 1 day...
today just send the 6610 to repair... may cost about $40-80... the other one heard may cost $100+ so not repairing that yet... at that cost like buy a new one without plan better... cos my plan can only upgrade in Dec... now i only have a sony ericsson camera phone and a very old N3315... might have to use the 3315 in camp since cannot use camera phone...

Gen12ii Thanksgiving 2006
yesterday was the gen12ii thanksgiving... it's the 1st time that it's held on monday cos for the past 3 yrs was on sat... then also 1st time at covenant pres church, usually at foochow methodist church... there's quite a number of 'incidents' which made the event more memorable... haha...
firstly, when we are going there, the North-east line has already broken down... it's down since 12.57pm but dunno abt it cos nv update the news... so we go bugis to change bus as we think it might be very messy at dhoby ghaut...
then at the church during the worship, suddenly the PA system power blackout... so the projector and sound system all turn off and the place turn quiet... but we continue to sing and worship the god without using the mics... still can hear.. thank god... it took more than 15 mins to get it working again... also met one of my tengah airbase sergeant from another shift there... quite suprise...
after the thanksgiving, we decided to go for supper as some of us were hungry... we went to the zuijiao food centre at little india... as it's late most of the shop already close... there's 1 prata shop still open but when we want to buy, all the special flavours one are all sold out, only left the plain one... so no choice but to eat that... but it's so hard and diff to tear it with fork and spoon... sianz... confirm it's left over stock...
when we're going home after dinner, we thought the train is working already but some train moving on the 'wrong' side of the platform... then in the train after reaching dhoby ghaut it went back to little india... which means still not working properly... so we take a bus as we do not want to spend more time waiting in case got more prob... waste 70 cents... bus is ok cos i using bus concession... also thank god for the bus as i do not have to wait for all my 3 buses home... all come immediately when i reach the bus stop... 1 is even more thankful cos the 2nd bus was actually infront but after a while the 1st bus overtake it and thus allows us to transfer to the 2nd bus at the next stop... thank god... then at night not much ppl so move quite fast... take only 1 hr to reach home... less than what i expect but still is 0015h... what a day...

GPMG Range duty
last thurs was suppose to be our dismount day, but becos the ASLC course ppl are having the gpmg range, we had to go back to guard the place...
it's very sian, cos we have to go back on the off day and also the place is quite deserted... worse thing is that only combat ration is provided as they're not bringing the fresh ration... there also got alot of mosquito... we stay at the place from 7.30am to 1am the next day! actually is suppose to be until 2359h but cos the vehicle broke down so was delayed...
we only reach back camp at about 2am... the next day we still got duty but luckily those who went the day before get those more relax one...
this morning heard that tmr's 1 day mount is cancelled becos got GOH help out... so now we got 3 days off after working for 3 days... but i don't think it is the off in lieu for last thurs cos those who did not went on thurs also get the off... hopefully will have another day off...
also today the Singapore flag is flown at half-mast for our late minister Mr Lim Kim San... never really heard abt this person b4 cos we were still not born yet... Same as Rajaratnam, they were the founding fathers of singapore and 1st generation ministers... this is the 2nd time this year an ex-minister and founding father has passed away...

Budget Terminal...
went to the new budget terminal this evening to send 3 of our church 'heros' to Darwin for a 1 month project... they'll be there until end of next month... cos they taking Tiger airways and it flies direct there...
currently tiger airways is the only airline that uses the termianl, so it looks like very few people there... almost the entire depatrure hall is empty, and there's only 1 food outlet at the public place... then that day i think more than 3/4 of the place is occupy by our church ppl...
although it's budget but the food like more ex then T1 annd 2... a fish and chip can cost like $10.... the other time i see in T2 like less than $8...
if myself i dun think i'll like to use that terminal. so have to carry the luggage up the bus and down, and no aerobridge... plus the baggage allowance is only 15kg... confirm overweight one... haha...

GDOP 2006
Yesterday was also Pentecost Sunday, and we had the Global Day of Prayer at National Stadium... it's the day where the world's christians come together to pray... really thank god that i have take the leave and thus able to go for the event... esp since that i've not been to church since 7 May... cos at first actually the main reason that i took leave was for the family gathering in the afternoon...
it's great that jcc has chartered bus to bring us to the stadium and back, so dont have to walk so much and travel so long... thank god... also the crowd control is good and there's not much jam... when leaving the bus wasn't caught in any traffic jams... the weather was good too, it didn't rain... but it's a bit hot sometimes...
this might also be the last time that i see the national stadium, unless i get the NDP tickets or got some other events which is held there... dont like will be FOP.. that should be in indoor stadium... the gdop was also orginally planned to be at indoor staduim, but it was book so was changed to national stadium.. and guess what? we got twice the number of people yest which the indoor stadium can hold... Praise the Lord!

PULSE 3rd Anniversary!
on sunday, our church youth ministry celebrated the 3rd anniversary... time flies... it also means i'm in JCC for 3 years liao, and 3 years in Christ... i'm 1 of those who happen to join the church just as the youth ministry started, and can grow together... last year i missed the celebration as i was in Melbourne for my Gen12 mission trip...
we had service as usual in the morning, but it was led by zhi qiang who's leading worship for the very first time... btw he receive christ later than me but i havent do that before yet... after the service we were break up into groups where we proceed to lakeside park for our games...
there's a 5 station games where we have to complete all of them... all of them got a meaning in it like the sudoku (which is a game where we have to fill up boxes with numbers and no number can be repeated within the same box, row and column) where we thank god for giving us a brain for us to think...
after that we had lunch and also interact with one another... we also write our names onto the 'tombstone' where we half-buried it at our church to symbolise that our old self is dead and is buried and what we have now is our new self in Christ.
Below is the link to the anniversary photos:

Welcoming my brother's friend from Taiwan...
yest night, one of my brother's friend from Taiwan coming here for exchange program came to our house to sleep... this's part of the exchange program to stay in the students house for 2 night... tonight he'll be staying here also... quite a good opportunity to know someone from another country...
before picking them up yest... we went to Turf City... but that place now like quite 'ker lian'... most of the shop had closed with only a few shop left and the Giant and some restaurant and steamboat... the foodcourt and even the Mac are closed... we went for the Steamboat for $12 each... it's not bad as it got more variety then the marina south one but maybe due to the rain, there's not much ppl and many tables are empty...
in the main shopping area... many shops are not there anymore, with one brand which looks like a warehouse sale occupying almost the entire hall including the autrim and the empty shops... the place now looks very jia lat... dunno can survive for long or not...

so fast... graduated from SP for 1 yr liao...
it's been 1 yr since i took my last exam paper in SP... wow since like yesterday... and also the Australia mission trip, coming to 1 yr liao... 19 Apr to 8 May...
but due to the poly time table pushing forward, the current batch already finished their exams in early march and went for their mission trip already... tmr is the start of the new acad year... seems funny cos this usually starts in july... now is only mid apr... but poly term will be starting around this time in future...

after booking in tonight, dunno when will book out again... can be anyday but up to 2 weeks... so must bring things enough for the 2 weeks... but definitely have to pack up our current bunk and shift somewhere else... afraid will be very heavy if carry all of them together, esp with the SBO, helmet & field pack...

but this POP had got many things that happened prior to it... it was orginally planned on thurs, but last sat it says may change date becos the CO is not free on that day... this is quite messy as our parents had already take leave on that day liao... then after that got many dates and time that come out... got sat, fri morning....... until on tues then finally confirm that it'll be on thurs afternoon...
the rehearsal was also quite tiring, esp that the whether was super hot this few days... like standing in the oven... moreover, we had our 12km route march in the morning on wed, then afternoon still got rehearsal... the route march was quite interesting as we march around the base and got to see some of the places which i've not seen before... but the rehearsal was quite sian as we keep doing the same thing again and again... then also now we have to walk quite a long distance to draw and send arms... so like the entire day keep walking and walking....
but now finally can rest for 4 days... only need to book it on Mon 2359h... after that then OJT will start... hopefully its only 1 week and that i can get a good posting...

oh no... conflicts again...
yest we only book out at around 2230h... cos our instructors realise that we're not working together as a platoon properly and try to settle it... then after that some ppl start to pin point one another... hope that the session will open up some doubts abt each other, and we'll forget about the past and not to even hate each other... as christian i did not blame another and forgive those who're in the wrong... hope that others will do the same too...
then still rem last year in melbourne during the mission trip there's also some conflicts between a few of our team mates... then so 'qiao' both that day (4 May) and yest was 2nd day the singapore flag is at half-mast... last time was for the passing of ex-president Wee Kim Wee...
pray that the rest of the year would be smooth and peaceful and not like what happen in the past month... so many ppl i know kena hospitalise and even one passed away...

S'pore pioneer Rajaratnam passed away
One of S'pore founder father, Mr S. Rajaratnam, passed away on wed afternoon at 1515h. Flags will flag at half-mast from thurs to saturday. Although i did not really know him that much, but he's the one who wrote our Singapore pledge which we recite every morning when we were in school.
"We, the citizen of Singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion, to build a democratic society, based on justice and equality, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation."
The word came from his pen, and stood for what he believe in. These words are meaningful, especially the part on pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion.
I got the news through my mother when i called her that night. But what i'm disappointed is that there's no saying about the news in my NS camp when schools have been paying tribute to him. Most people dosen't know anything about it.
Just watch the state funeral on Channel newsasia, which passed by the road which i've just been to on wed, a few hours before he dies. That day we also just pass by Parliament house when we went to supreme court.
Lion's Trail tour
on wed, we went for a lion's trail tour again... but this time we went to some different place... our first stop was the changi chapel & museum... sianz.. cos we've went there before just 2 mths back during the bmt lion's trail... but luckily the tour guide got say some diff things so got near new things like how singapore lost in WWII...
after that we proceed to the city area known as the civil district... the journey there was not bad cos it travelled by ecp.. then can see how east coast park is like now... v long nv went there liao... but like not much changes.. hee...
when we reach somewhere near raffles place mrt... we got to buy food at macdoalds... the one at boat quay beside uob plaza... wow... cos in camp wont be able to eat... after that learnt that there's a mosque in the basement of uob plaza and also some of the sclupture at the lobby...
whoa didnt notice them b4 although i went there many times b4... after that we went to the new supreme court... wow it looks very grand and esp at the top floor disc... the view is super great... got alot of escalators inside up to the disc there... also managed to visit one of the court room... v nice sia.. haha... but hope wont be going there for a case... hehe...
after visiting the court.. its time to go back to camp... sad.. but b4 that the bus driver got go around padang once.. so managed to see war memoral park and the cenotaph... some more the cenotaph was in the middle of the singapore river hong bao 2 week ago... so just saw it on 11 feb... then just 10 days all the hong bao things are gone... just left a few floor boards around... really miss the festive season so much....... now no more celebrations liao... but going to POP from the RP course on 9 march... 1 day earlier... then can go IT show on the 10th.. hopefully... going to upgrade and spend alot again...

one of my sec sch classmates, weiling, whom i remembered and cherish alot one passed away last fri after an accident last thurs...
this is indeed the most sadest news i've ever received in my life, besides the one of my grandmother...
recalling those days back in sec sch... really miss those days where we keep getting 'suan' about loving each other and also when we go play pool together... after we graduate she's one of those who helped to organise all the class gatherings... and remembered at the 1st gathering she was sabo and push into a pond and got all wet... i've nv seen her getting angry b4, and seems that she's enjoying every moment...
such a wonderful and cheerful girl... really sad that she's not around anymore...

Selamat Hari Raya Haji
haha... another PH again in 3 weeks... yeah... and just 19 days more to chinese new year...
the last few days has been raining all the way and that it rained through the entire 8 Jan, the day we have our range test.. we still shoot when the rain is not so heavy but i think that's not good enough as most of us fail the test... think will have another range test soon...
went down to chinatown today to take a look at the CNY bazzar... thank god that the rain stopped and i can still walk throught it... but the news said business had been affected... pray that the rain will come only at the 'correct' time so as not to affect too much things...
this coming weekend is burned again as there's section live firing... like of scared of that cos it seems quite dangerous using live rounds, but still dunno how the place is like... hope it's not too bad... think will get a day off next tue and hope can visit the sp innovex next sat...
see ya..
