TGIF...Thank God Its Friday or Thank God I Found

Well today is my squadron anniversary so early in the morning need to go to Sentosa for a day of fun. But due to the weather, i dun think have much fun...hahaha. Anyway, my main purpose to Sentosa is for geocaching as there are 2 caches at there. One located at the sourthern most tip of asia (virtual cache) and the other is at the dragon trail (traditional cache).

So me and my gunnery officer as i introduce him geocaching. He was really in this hobby sia now he found more than me liao...haha! Well, we first went to the southern most tip of asia to take photo as it is a virtual cache. After that, we wanted to go to dragon trail to find the second cache of our day but my gunnery officer didn't bring his car key along so we walk back to tanjong beach and as well we take our lunch for free...haha



Mr Oscar at the Southernmost Point of Asia Continent


My Gunnery Officer (Metrohomme), myself and Mr Oscar

After taking our free lunch, we proceed to the carpark to retrieve car and drove towards the dragon trail. We have quite a few detour coz due to unfamiliar of the road in sentosa so kinda waste some time finding. However we manage to get to the location.

Dragon Trail Site

Once we get there, saw a few uni students at there planning their sort of orientation games so we dun really dare to find... however we try to be more stealth but one of the students came and ask us whether we are geocacher. Yup! we are! I have this feeling that our hobby are going to be well known by the younger generation liao...heehee. Kinda happy...well, still have to continue finding the cache. We are like monkeys run here and there, up and down finally we found it! Actually is my gunnery officer found it...but i was at the lower part and he shout so i looked up. I also saw it...We quickly retrieve it and sign the log. I took a compass and put a wristband with a word "couarge" into the cache and my gunnery officer took the Bugs Bunny TB with him. After signing the log, we hurry up hide it and proceed on to the next cache at Labrador Park.

Mr Oscar found it again! The Dragon Claw cache

Once reach the Labardor Park, we started our searching the cache but after almost 2 hours of search we still cannot find it. Moreover we trying to decode the hint given. We like monkey again going climbing up n down looking all possible place that can be hidden...but still couldnt found it making ourself really dirty and sweaty. Around 3.30pm we finally abort our search for this cache. Kinda of disappointed coz thought of getting another cache. Anyway, my gunnery officer send me back home and we arrange another meet up in the evening at 6.30pm. A break for hot-washup and get more information for the net.

Around 6.30pm we meet up in Raffles Place MRT station coz our next cache is at the ACM - Asian Civilisations Museum. This is my second time to there as the first time i didnt found it coz there are lotsa of muggles walking pass so cannot really go beating around burshes. Once we reach the destination, we started looking for it but still alot of muggles so we decide to go for our dinner at esplande. On our way to there, we started to decode the esplande cache hint as there is also a cache over there but we still dun get it.

Well, due to hunger...we went to Thai Express for our dinner. Well the food was ok...coz really quite small portion for me...haha! But the bill was quite expensive, we paid $30 plus over for just 2 plate of rices...lol Anyway we started continue our geocaching in esplande and went to NLB inside Esplande to use the internet but it required charges...Wah xianz! we dun bother to use it so as we continue thinking of the clue, there are crowds over a restraunt. Due to curiousity, we saw Fann Wong at there. I think she having some interviews loh...well we dun really bother about big stars or celebrities. What came in our minds is to solve the hint of the esplande cache. But we still cannot solve it...i think really need to PM the geocacher that hide this cache.

Anyway, its around 9.30pm so we abort the searching the cache in Esplande and went back to ACM to start or monkey skill of searching. Haha! Guess what, we arrive at there. It looks more quiet than earlier. So i prepare my branch stick. With my stick skill, i started to poke the ground. Within 5 mins, i found...heehee! Mission complete. Sign the log and at least this evening search have got something.

Mr Oscar with the ACM cache

After that we went back home, on my way back home, I sudden thought that near city plaza got a virtual cache so i alighted at Paya Lebar MRT station and start my geocaching alone. Yes! found it. Actually it is a electric meter indicate the numbers of the electricity usage. So i just take down the readings and went back home for rest.

P.S Geocaching is great...found 4 caches out of 6 in aday...break my personal records. Haha...will be back for more after my overseas deployment.

A Donate Day...

Finally, today made up my mind to go down to SGH early in the morning. Why am i going to SGH? Am i sick? Hahaha...nope just went down there to register as a bone marrow donor. Actually came across afew years about this programme but I didn't have the courage to register until today.

I guess most of people know what is bone marrow donation right? Just for a brief explaination of this programme. This programme is called "Bone Marrow Donor Programme" is a Singapore-based non-profit organisation dedicated to building and managing a Register of Singaporean volunteers who are willing to donate their bone marrow to patients of leukemia and other blood diseases.

So think for a long time...i finally made up my mind to do something special in my life. Now I hoping that mine are match to someone who is in need of bone marrow. But from the nurse, she say until now still not many people have the chance been match. Quite disappointed... anyway, the progress of the registation is quite fast, just fill up a particular form and take some blood sample for test and thats all.

After that, i went to HSA buliding which is near by to...donate blood. Haha...people may say me siao rite...but thats what i can do for the people. Coz i dun have huge sum of money to donate. And people say...got money use it, if not then use own capabilities to help loh. Anyway, just spend an hour sitting, watch your own blood move thru the tude into the bag. Kinda satifaction coz doing some good deed.

So once reaching there, same as usual need to declare truth that know about the giving blood to someone...after that, a blood test whether enough iron. Lastly donate blood... but today i kinda "lucky" coz they people at there are trying using the new type of donating blood bag so i was around by the interns of nurses. Looking how the procedure of using the new bag. Actually this bag quite good design coz last time will require to get blood specimens at the end of blood donation. But now is the opposite as there is a additional small bag for containing blood and much easier for them to retrieve blood specimens.

So after the blood donating, i went to cafe to get some free drink. While drinking my hot milo, saw this wall call "River of Life" it covers with different color of fishes with names indicate. Thos names are the regular blood donor which in order to get the fish to be place on the wall must need 50 times for guys and 35 times for ladies...wow...how can my name be placed onto the wall...i think need to ask whether donating plasma also can consider or not...coz if consider, i can donate plasma for 12 times a year rather donating whole blood for 4 times a year...compare this i think it will be more faster rite...heehee

Anyway, now i will start to donate whenever i can...praying for my bone marrow can match to the patient that is in need...

P.S Been a donor of phyiscal, i feel very satified coz i now when i live i can donate my blood n bone marrow. Moreover, when i die...my organs are also can be useful to people that is much more needed...so i have no regrets of sigining up...hope that more poeple can think this way to help others, beside its also doing good deeds...

Moon People - The TP 15th Anniversary Musical

Well, today went to catch the musical that is purely make in TP. A nice musical...hmm i should rate 4 stars out of 5 stars. Coz it carries a sentimental but hilarious storyline which brings me into alot of emotions. Before going to the musical, when to tampines polyclinic for some consultation by doctor due to my chest pain recently. Actually nothing much to worry...coz just some over strain of my ribs due to expand and given medication...I hope the medicine can works...LOL

Back to the musical, after finish the consultation. Meet up with Jolene, but too bad Fiona last min cannot make it coz need to repair her mp3 player from creative so cannot come in time. Too bad she miss the show. Well, before going for the musical...we have some dinner and light refreshment. By the way, Jolene also call her friend - Tanya Ling to come along but she may be late coz working.

Anyway, about the musical...i found it quite touching for some scenes like the leading actor n actress have to leave each other, the part when the actress read about her late mother's letter during her studies in UK, and last of it the music...from Tersea Teng "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin" and David Tao.

From the musical...i came with alot of thoughts that why it is call MOON PEOPLE. Well its all about people. Its about people regardless of age, social status, lifestyle or beliefs...addresses to people learn to forgive, people learn to trust, people learn to LOVE...for me...i wish i could do that. Can i really love? hmmm....."cross my fingers"

Anyway...after the musical, we went for supper...but only Tanya Ling eating her fish n chips...as for us...heehee. We were helping Tanya Ling for some relationships problems...as a neutral party...i do give some comments...it really ridiculous coz i know how to give people advice but i dunno how to solve my own problems...what am i...just acting smart for relationship consultant...but zero for relationships. I think, i dun really can give people advice...haiz!!

Just after all the advice given to Tanya Ling, i was been integorate but both girls that whom am i have feeling...but thanks for Tanya for your words that really strike me hard. I think i too sensitive over certain things liao but either i go fast or go slow...but most of all i need to make my mind set...even to prepare rejection...

P.S What is LOVE? Perhaps i still searching for an answer...can anyone tell me? Now, i hope to spread my love thru the entire universe...to whom i love and care...even to a stranger...coz every bit of love from me gives hopes to others...thats what believe now...am i rite? So hope everyone can be MOON PEOPLE...cherish it to love and been love...

Am I a failure...

Well, am i a really failure or what...or just am i paranoid by my ownself. I not been myself, just cant open myself to others. Why? Urgh...

Yesterday attend my dear buddy birthday party. I know she was there since the day before, but i just dun dare to go early coz i dunno how to start my conversation with her so let me call her J. I felt so lost... never been so lost. I reach there much more early than what I been but i keep walking around the resort just to spent the time, never feel the time past so slow. I know that i still have to face it...so i pick up my courage and procced to the chalet.

Upon reaching there, I saw J. Just a nice greet with her coz she is rushing to the other room for changing. After that, I saw William and others and begin to chat with them coz thats is the only clicks i noe for that moment. Wonder my social circle that small rite...thats me! Always a loner, never open for others to seek in my inner emotional part. Living in a small world of mine.

Anyway, the whole night most of the time always been alone, my thoughts are really just wan to get out of this place at once and go to a quiet place. Saw J with her sisters...I dunno why I wan to run away from her. Just can face her...but I still secretly watch at her for some moment. To other she may just look normal, but for me...it just look so different...an angel from heaven. Her sweet smile still remains in my mind. She is the one that start shaken my thought of other girl that I keep in mind for long...I dunno whether really J is the really angel girl in my mind or even my future coz she really make me started to forget the girl I once admire. I really kinda lost.

Well, their group of sisters saw me alone came approach towards me and I heart was beating faster coz I got to face J. It is hard for me coz so many eyes looking at me...been shy and I really lost of words and the whole night I kept silence just peeping J for several times without letting her know even there are lotsa pretty ladies at the party. But my vision most of the time are at her.

After the party, time for unwarp gifts...so we proceed to the other room and I just sat at a position that can see her most of the time. Dunno why William keep wanted to look at my gift that I give to Fiona, making me freak out coz I just so scare that J may misunderstand why I give such an expensive gift to Fiona. Although it is true that may be an expensive pen for her but I treat Fiona as buddy and a very good friend of mine that she sometimes really helps me alot at times I am down. Moreover, it is a good reason why I give her coz her will be studying her Uni course soon so I hope this pen can accompany her and giving her the encouragement to continue to attain good results and motivate her as doing part-time studies really tough. But looking at that time of unwraping the my gift for Fiona. I saw all of them show signs of envy...but wat really concern me is J's feeling. I think she may misunderstand that I want to court Fiona or wat...but I really not...my feeling is towards J.

After the gift unwraping session, we have some games...and fun. I still dun have the encouragement to speak to her...I not prepare for that...i'm really freaking out of myself.

I dunno whether I too sensitive or wat but one of her sisters let me call her X borrow some vcds fo mine and wat make me question myself is when the moment she say that after she finish watching it, she will ask J to return me...

Den came Darren, as during in the party i was alone...he came and ask me how was i with J. Thats came my sensitive and know that something was wrong.

But wat make me regret is not sending J back home coz early in the morning she and one of her sister wanted to go back home early so they just left and X hint me to go send her. I was like a stupid idiot guy dunno wan or dun wan...so indecsive...my heart tells me to go but my body dun seems to be answering my signal. Damn! Anyway, i just send her out of the room...Urgh! Feel so bad now! After sometime of thoughts, I sms her and make some apologies to her and hope that I still stand achance.

P.S Now i really dunno what i goin to do...should i sms her or wat...i really want to know her more. But there is a barrier in my own...who am i courting her...i just a normal ordinary guy. Neither i a well spoken person nor a knowlegdable person. I just a dull guy...but i just wan to spent my time with the one i love forever even if I know i going to die or wat... To me...I always tell myself, I will never make the one i love shed a single tear. I promise.
