My First time of Geocaching

Okay, what is Geocaching...alot of people been asking me...in order not to explain n explain again. So i will cut it short. Geocaching is an adventure game for gps users. idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

What are the rules in Geocaching?
Geocaching is a relatively new phenomenon. Therefore, the rules are very simple:
1. Take something from the cache
2. Leave something in the cache
3. Write about it in the logbook

For more information pls log in to this website: http://www.geocaching.com

Well, after reading this explaination...time for me to tell you guys on my experience. Basically, i started on sat but due to time consuming and meeting a friend of mine for dinner so didnt took up much search and also too many people looking at me.

So today really plan for it and get my equipment with me and swear die die must find it. Got the corrdinates from the net. Started to plan my route to get the. Wake up early in the morning as today will on leave till 26th Oct. So started at 6.15am and took a bus to east coast. It was abit dark as the sun have not rise up., so i conducted my search. Located the lat and long and saw the big tall tree. Quickly look around to see anyone looking at me coz must becareful not to let mugglers to spoil the cache. I reach the site around 6.35am so using my pen-light and wear my white glove and started searching...LOL it was a tough job sia looking up, looking down still cannot find...intend to stop...but my heart tells me not to stop...search round n round the tree. Finally, found it at 7.05am...and walah...get some picture with Mr Oscar and wats inside the cache.

my equipment of the day (Glove, Pen-light N My Etrex GPS)

Mr Oscar found the first cache

Wats inside the cache? (a logbook, a glue, wipper, keychain, collarpin, a badge n a electronic thingy)

Sunrise at the coast.

Hint: Somewhere near this site but not that tree. Pasta anyone?

Okay after signing the logbook, time for me to hid back the cache at the original place and proceed on to the next cache site. So started strolling down to marine cove whereby the cache is hidden somewhere there. Dunno early in the morning there are alot of people hanging around doing execrise like running, jogging, cycling and taji...LOL

Anyway, reach the site around 8am. Started to find the cache...Urgh it is a tough one coz i battling with mosquitoes and red ants xia. Really going to dropout liao soon. Just as i look up and saw it...green green plastic type...Yes! My second finding of the day. Quickly retrieve it and find a place to sign the log book and take some pictures of it...

Mr Oscar found his second cache

Inside the green-green cache (log book, pen, dart alike, froggy)

Mr Oscar frighten by the froggy...

okay thats my first time of geocaching...i have fun doing this great hobby...Now need to work out to find some travel bugs and jeep...heehee

P.S for peopl interested on it...can call me in...if u dun have GPSr, i can lend it to you and we can both go find it...heehee

An Off Day...

Well today got my off day liao...a duty off for last friday. Anyway today got lot of things to do. Actually just wanted to stay at home to rest and finish up the drama series "Yummy Yummy" but ended up visiting Fiona at Airport to accompany her for lunch.

Well, another reason to go airport because she is a dilemma due to her new guy. So when i reach, we both went to sake sushi for lunch and we talk alot of her new guy. I didn't give much advice coz i dun understand that guy so dunno what is he think or wat but to me...if you got the feeling for the girl den dun make her worry. It is not that she wants to dominate the entire person, so as long a short msg will keep the girl worries away or say that you are fine...i think thats how relationships will survive...there is no way that a relationship can maintain in one way. Thats wat i think. So if that guy is still uncertain or cannot confirm wat he really wans to continue the relationship...it is total a waste of both peoples' time.

Well, i didn't say much during the short hour of lunch time...but i feel that whenever my buddy or friends in trouble i will try to comfort them within my call...i promise...thats me...a loyal friend that can be trust.

After the lunch, i went to Raffles City and started to source Fiona's Birthday present... hmmm....finally got her the present liao...But i think this month going to spent abit less coz i think her present abit over budget liao. Anyway i think this present is useable and an item that can be long lasting for her. Too bad those friends of mine that have already gone thru 21st birthday liao...cannot get expensive present from me liao coz previously me income not that stable mah...now mostly stable liao...and i feel that money is not that too concern coz no matter what it still can be earn back. So no much worries for that as long as a good financial planning.

Now i need to plan for my vacation on either Dec or Jan...but first got to wait for my sister and bro-in-law to come back from Austraila for their vacation. hmm...dunno they wan to go Hong Kong. If cannot then i will go KL alone and explore, anyway i always a loner.....

Haiz!!!

I'm so fustrated (%^&$@&)

music playing: MayDay - Zhi Zu

Actually i dun wan to write this blog for the time being but, now i have enough. Hump! Why i so angry and fustrated. Okay, no more 'PRIDE' - People Relax I Do Extra

Been pack with those stupid routine given by the SQN liao. Then now keep pushing the sailing to us. Wah Kao! What kind of merging of both SQN 182/189. I think upstairs in the SQN are mostly dominated by the SQN 189 people liao. Den my SQN 182 people stand aside sia and kena eat but the 189 people sia.

I now boil up sia. Wat kind of multi-crew concept sia. I dun wish to publish it sia but i have enough...things get from bad to worst sia. What is annual leave means? I take leave also must find people to stand for me to sail if there is and sailing. After that still have to pay back to the person whom i ask for to stand in. Annual leave is an entitlement and given by the government sia. Now i take a leave den still need to pay back means that my leave is just a working day lah... as well dun give better. Then now reduce people onboard, thats means i taking a person pay doing 3 persons job sia. So f*_k up man! Say that multi-crew can spent more time on family and friends but wat i can see is that i getting less with family and friends liao. 1 month got 30 days and half of the month i get to sail and that does not include duties and special operation requirement sia. NAVY is sucker...wans to suck out everyone onboard of PV and APV. Why they dun call the MGB or the MCV to do the special tasking. Keep calling us to do...wats good for that a ship got 2 teams, even if the teams can take it the stress. i dun think the ship alone can take it like my ship it really cannot take it liao. i think sooner it got crack and burst into pieces like this kind of sailing...keep sailing non-stop.

Why i so stress up...coz tomorrow i kena activate for patrol for nothing due to a ship down and the SQN people like to throw their arrows to PV ships coz to them the APV ships are more valuable rather than us. How i know...coz a simple reason coz if ur sons or daughters injured and need to do things will you call them to do or call other sons or daughters to do or else well call your adopted sons or daughters to do?

Of coz call the adopted sons or daughter to do lah...thats human. But they didn't hear our feeling sia...sooner everyone in the wharf will play punk liao...

okay really in a bad mood, coz monday sailing and prolong the sailing time till today then just back home recieve the tomorrow got actiavated again. Wah liao...win liao...worst is that i going to forfieted my tickets to my brother. Damn...cannot go see project superstar concert...Ugh!!!

The tickets for the Project Superstars

Plan tomorrow happily go watch kelly n kelvin and the rest of the participants man now cannot...

Better go rest...and enjoy the idiot sailing...now i have to watch thru the TV with snows on the screen coz the reception is poor out at sea loh :(

P.S Guys n Gals if got anything need to find me urgent pls leave my voice mail mesg. thankx!

Now on my way to camp and i using my PDA to write down this blog message and hope to upload after back from Batam Sailing trip.

Well, today early in the morning went to my sis's hse aka jolene for mahjong session. First meet with william and then went together. After arrive...we started to chit chat and playing mahjong. However, we came to a topic on the recent matters that happen on william and fiona relationship. I've no comment on both of them as william just brief thru the problems happen on both of them. His explaination was that lack of time for fiona and outside this working world, for a lady like fiona, she maybe wants to have freedom back again and feeling of been pursuit by guys which most of gals likes this kind of feel. Although i have no place to make this comment but hope that it maybe just a piece of advice to ppl in relationship now...although i have no relationship now... :P

Anyway i dunno who to side but wat i can say is that i will try to find out more of this situation if i can...hope to call her when i came back.

P.S Wat will it happen to me if i got gf and demand me to spent her more time. I think better dun think too much...hope my future gf will tolerate me of not spending her enough time.

Top 10 Health Benefits of Drinking Tea

music playing: Ou De Yang - Liu She Cai Hong

Okay got this article from MSN.

1. Tea contains antioxidants. Like the Rust-Oleum paint that keeps your outdoor furniture from rusting, tea's antioxidants protect your body from the ravages of aging and the effects of pollution.

2. Tea has less caffeine than coffee. Coffee usually has two to three times the caffeine of tea (unless you're a fan of Morning Thunder, which combines caffeine with mate, an herb that acts like caffeine in our body). An eight-ounce cup of coffee contains around 135 mg caffeine; tea contains only 30 to 40 mg per cup. If drinking coffee gives you the jitters, causes indigestion or headaches or interferes with sleep -- switch to tea.

3. Tea may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. Unwanted blood clots formed from cholesterol and blood platelets cause heart attack and stroke. Drinking tea may help keep your arteries smooth and clog-free, the same way a drain keeps your bathroom pipes clear. A 5.6-year study from the Netherlands found a 70 percent lower risk of fatal heart attack in people who drank at least two to three cups of black tea daily compared to non-tea drinkers.

4. Tea protects your bones. It's not just the milk added to tea that builds strong bones. One study that compared tea drinkers with non-drinkers, found that people who drank tea for 10 or more years had the strongest bones, even after adjusting for age, body weight, exercise, smoking and other risk factors. The authors suggest that this may be the work of tea's many beneficial phytochemicals.

5. Tea gives you a sweet smile. One look at the grimy grin of Austin Powers and you may not think drinking tea is good for your teeth, but think again. It's the sugar added to it that's likely to blame for England's bad dental record. Tea itself actually contains fluoride and tannins that may keep plaque at bay. So add unsweetened tea drinking to your daily dental routine of brushing and flossing for healthier teeth and gums.

6. Tea bolsters your immune defenses. Drinking tea may help your body's immune system fight off infection. When 21 volunteers drank either five cups of tea or coffee each day for four weeks, researchers saw higher immune system activity in the blood of the tea drinkers.

7. Tea protects against cancer. Thank the polyphenols, the antioxidants found in tea, once again for their cancer-fighting effects. While the overall research is inconclusive, there are enough studies that show the potential protective effects of drinking tea to make adding tea to your list of daily beverages.

8. Tea helps keep you hydrated. Caffeinated beverages, including tea, used to be on the list of beverages that didn't contribute to our daily fluid needs. Since caffeine is a diuretic and makes us pee more, the thought was that caffeinated beverages couldn't contribute to our overall fluid requirement. However, recent research has shown that the caffeine really doesn't matter -- tea and other caffeinated beverages definitely contribute to our fluid needs. The only time the caffeine becomes a problem as far as fluid is concerned is when you drink more than five or six cups of a caffeinated beverage at one time.

9. Tea is calorie-free. Tea doesn't have any calories, unless you add sweetener or milk. Consuming even 250 fewer calories per day can result in losing one pound per week. If you're looking for a satisfying, calorie-free beverage, tea is a top choice.
10. Tea increases your metabolism. Lots of people complain about a slow metabolic rate and their inability to lose weight. Green tea has been shown to actually increase metabolic rate so that you can burn 70 to 80 additional calories by drinking just five cups of green tea per day. Over a year's time you could lose eight pounds just by drinking green tea. Of course, taking a 15-minute walk every day will also burn calories.

1. Which tea is better -- green, black, white?There really isn't enough difference to get overly excited about. All teas generally contain the same amount of flavonoids. Green and black tea come from the same plants, but green tea is dried for a shorter time and doesn't go through a fermenting process used for black tea.

2. Are decaffeinated teas just as good for you?Some companies use chemicals to decaffeinate tea; others use a water process. The chemical process removes more of the beneficial polyphenols, so read labels carefully when choosing decaf.

3. How do you brew a perfect cup of tea?For hot tea:Bring one cup of water per tea bag, or teaspoon of dried tea, to a rolling boil.Measure the tea into a glass container (plastic and metal pick up unwanted flavors).Pour the boiling water over your tea and steep to the desired strength. Steep too long and you'll get an acidic taste.For iced tea:Brew your tea with boiling water, as described above.Chill with ice and keep in the fridge.

P.S Hmm...time to switch to tea time...LOL

Maybe thats like...so grab hold every now and then...time is so precious dun negret your love ones, friends and even your pets. No body can predict its future.

Lets dun talk about all this sad things...life still goes on...no one owes you, times are bad...but no matter how, we still need to continue to walk this life path.

For the past few days i been sailing for the 'Surpics' which it coordinates with the Indonesia Navy Ships and include RSN ships and Singapore Coastal Guard Patrol Craft to perform a kind of live shows for the lauch of new coordinate between Singapore and Indonesia. Kind of going to be actor again coz from my officers say that there will be filming on us at the actual day which i maybe be film on it coz i will be station on the bridge wing holding the CIS 0.5 guns with bullet-proof vest on...too bad that nobody going to reconise me coz i will be wearing my anti-flash gear leaving my eye exposed...LOL

Life so unpredictable...

music playing: Internal Affairs OST (Wu Jian Dao)- Zai Jian

Its been awhile that i haven't been updating my blog for so long. Actually don't really feel to blog today but...just find that i need to write it.

Why is life so unpredictable...i don't know why. Can anyone please tell me? It seems that no matter how we plan...there is always be something going wrong. First is our ex-president - Dr Wee Kim Wee who pass away last week. Its quite sad to know as he is a kind hearted person whom always put his own shoes on the people. Now he is gone...but to us, Singapore has lost a good child.....

But today...i just receive a news from my friend that a good friend of mine in secondary school have just pass away...it seems to be a joke to me...coz i really can't believe he is gone forever. To me, now i feel terrible bad and sad coz ...i dunno is true or not...God likes to play on us...i speaking the true that last week i keep thinking this friend coz happen that wants to ask him out for a cup of coffee but due to the hectic schedule i didn't arrange to meet him or even call him. Even today i keep remind myself to call him tomorrow...but i think this call will never reach to him...coz he is gone...no way i can talk to him. No way i can say "Hi, how are you!" No way i can meet him again. No way i can able to tease him or even let him tease me...a friend that now i can keep in my memories. I just can't bring myself for the time been...

It seems i start to recall the times with this friend. From a stranger to a friend...how we know each other? well, it started from an arguement. From then...we play together, we go out together...but soon we graduate we started to contact lesser and lesser due to each of us different schedule. Well, Life is just like drama series...it is so difficult to accept it. To me...i will always remember as a true friend...Thanks for all the care and concern these years...i dunno how to express it but i hope this msg can reach to you, goodbye my forever lasting friend ~ Kai Soon (Jimmy) Departed on 10th May 2005.
