I waited more than 1/2 hour but its okay coz i know that usually Singaprorean are late one...thats including me...hehe So next time meeting them can late for 10 - 15 min wont die one...haha Well, we alighted at Lavender MRT station becoz fiona n her sisters are going to malacca on 11 Dec and be back on 12 Dec so going there to book coach tixs for it. After getting it...went to bugis for lunch at MOS burger. After that, we continue our window shopping in Parco Bugis as Xueni, Weiling and Jennette going to Harbour Fornt to do something and will meet us in Ikea evening time.

After that den we proceed to Ikea to get some shopping coz fiona wants to revamp her room and me...just looking for something to revamp my room and the price oso...heehee...After that we have dinner inside Ikea...thats happening...we waited and searching for seats...finally got our seats but need to split up into 2 place, a table with Linwen, Yihui, Yongfu and Jennette. Our table with Darren, Xueni, weiling, fiona, Eldine, lijing and me. I dunno whether or table been curse or not but fiona kinda of clumsy coz when we buy our food, she got some plain water for use and spill on to Eldine right leg...haha...but wats more when she helping weiling to broke the chicken wing she accidently hit her glass of orange juice and Elgin cannot catch it and went down the glass broke...haha on spill everywhere...kinda messy...but thats not more...time for xueni...she oso spill her cup of plain water...so our table really messy...sorry for the cleaner to clear for us... =P

After the messy dinner, we went back to tampines for some drinks n night bites at Mac. This time have more chance tokking to her liao... We tok quite late and time to go back home...so we separate with fiona and the others and i accompany xueni and her to interchange to go back home...she taking bus 29 and xueni and i took bus 69...i wish i have the chance to send her back. Anyway when travelling back, xueni scold me why i tot fiona abt the things me with lijing.

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.

Why Me Again?

Today actually on leave but becoz hear news that my team is on standby and most likely to be activate for sailing so wake up early in the morning at 5am and started to prepare to work. Time for work liao after a period of long rest...heehee

However, until now still didn't activate but tomorrow Sat 19 Nov really need to sail and I will be sailing till Tue. Anyway, today really do alot of work sia...morning doing deck maintenance and prepare seaman gears for sailing...etc coz I'm the leading seaman...haiz! lotsa saikang to catch...
Afternoon, do my system maintenance and worst of all, i recieve a news that I will be sailing for overseas deployment on 2 Dec till 10 Dec coz not enough people. Wah...why me again. I still got 9 days of leave haben clear yet...den next month surely no time to clear one.

Really sad...tot no need to sail but now...haiz! Heng is that my chief help me to settle the leave problem as the following I need to sailing another overseas depolyment loh but i been taken out of the sailing coz for clearing leave. Thats means i will be on leave again on the 12 dec till 16 dec which means i will be free for the whole week again...LOL

But sad thing is that christmas eve need to sail...wonder how she will celebrate...maybe with her sisters. Haiz! Better dun think too much...now what i need to do is slowly bulit up the relationship with her. Hope that one day she may accept...and i also came out an idea (a very stupid idea of asking her) on that day.

Hope it works...cross my fingers. Well, now need to prepare myself to sail to Port Blair (as mention in previous blog).

P.S Hope that everyday i can talk to her just a minute and will brighten my life...Time for hectic sailing....

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...

Some quizes about my inner

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

How You Life Your Life

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

How Do You Live Your Life?

Your Birthdate: August 5

You have many talents, and you are great at sharing those talents with others. Most people would be jealous of your clever intellect, but you're just too likeable to elicit jealousy. Progressive and original, you're usually thinking up cutting edge ideas. Quick witted and fast thinking, you have difficulty finding new challenges. Your strength: Your superhuman brainpower Your weakness: Your susceptibility to boredom Your power color: Tangerine Your power symbol: Ace Your power month: May

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

P.S Is it really that true?

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.

'Tang Bao' Become 'Rou Bao'

Well, guess wat...today is Hari Raya...but becoz of standby so i didn't go find any cache just incase anything happens and got activated. Anyway, i begin my cooking experiment again. Hahaha...so i try out the Tang Bao recipe. It take me quite sometime to make the dough coz first time mah, and it need 2 types of dough. But i came to be failure coz...after making it. It turn out to be Rou Bao liao...i think is the flour i use is different...maybe i will try another type of flour next time...LOL

Anyway the meat turn out to be juicy and nice...but just the skin...maybe need to find out what type of flour to use. Hope next time i can success.

Lyrics...from a korean drama : Full House

I Think I - Byul : Full House OST.

English Version
I refused to believe that it could be so,
there's no way that I'm in love with you,
I lied to myself that it's just a petty jealousy,
that I must be feeling lonely, but I cannot hide it anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHORUS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I love you But it must be so,
Cause I miss you without you,
I cannot do anything,and you are always on my mind,
so seeing this, it must be,I was unaware,
but now I can see that your presencehave delved deeply into my heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are not meant for each other,
and being friends is the best thing for us,
there isn't a single thing we have in common,
so I claimed there's no way we can be lovers,
but I don't want to make excuses anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHORUS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I love you But it must be so,
Cause I miss you without you,
I cannot do anything,and you are always on my mind,
so seeing this, it must be,I was unaware,
but now I can see that your presencehave delved deeply into my heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

why didn't I know that it was you,
why couldn't I see it when it was right in front of me,
it was beside me all along, but only now can I see love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHORUS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I love you But it must be so,
Cause I miss you without you,
I cannot do anything,and you are always on my mind,
so seeing this, it must be,I was unaware,
but now I can see that your presencehave delved deeply into my heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Yesterday just watch the last epsiode of Full House from SCV and found this song very nice and quite meaningful. But the most meaningful quote say in the ending are the best to touch a girl feeling...must watch it if u haven't watch it...a nice drama series can let you laugh, happy, sad n cry one.

P.S I wish i got a house like Full House...Big one, got garden and most of all it is built beside a beach with a small jetty link to it.

Travel Bugs...

Okay what is Travel bugs?
Travel Bug is a trackable tag that you attach to an item. This allows you to track your item on Geocaching.com. The item becomes a hitchhiker that is carried from cache to cache (or person to person) in the real world and you can follow its progress online.

What does a Travel Bug do?
It's really up to the owner of the bug to give it whatever task they desire. Or no task at all. The fun of a travel bug is inventing new goals for the Travel Bug to achieve. One Bug's goal may be to reach a specific country, or travel to 10 countries.

How do Travel Bugs work?
Each Travel Bug has its own unique tracking number stamped on it. This tracking number is used as proof by the user that they found the item. It also doubles as a way for the user to locate the personal web page for the travel bug. Travel Bugs are tracked with the help of users who go online and "grab" them from caches, or receive them from users. The idea is by picking up and dropping off Travel Bugs on the web site you are mirroring the Bug's real world adventures. Each Travel Bug has its own "diary" that follows its movements.

So today wake up ard 7plus...actually decided to go find some cache but due to laziness so make it on today. My plan for today is to retrieve some travel bugs that been aiming for so around 8am reach Bedok Reservior to start finding it. LOL...i really brings me to a hill that is really steep...but the view is nice...can see the whole view of reserviour maybe next time can bring girlfriend to view it...LOL. Anyway found the cache within 5mins coz have been reading other geocachers log thru the net. Got some shoots out of it and retrieve my first travel bug (Between the hard and rock TB) and move on my next destination --- Tang Dyansty...From East to West Sia...alot of ppl sure say i am mad...but thats the fun...it gets u to travel all over the place...so must really going to top up my ezlink card soon liao. Before going to take bus...i walk pass a 4D booth so think why dun try my luck as all travel bug came with ID number, so i buy the number from the ID tag which came along with the TB. After buying 4D, i took bus 21 to Geylang Serai to change bus to No. 154 and here we come to Tang Dynasty for you...LOL

Coach Carter



Well, today after all the fun of geocaching...I decided to watch some DVDs as brought quite afew from JB. Heehee...anyway...decided to watch this movie : Coach Carter

This movie really hit me hard xia. I found it quite meaningful coz the coach force his high-school students basketball players to sign conditional contract which they have to maintain a certain standard of academic results in order for them to continue to play basketball. Beside of this he also have lotsa of different types of training for the players.

But wat really hit me hard is he keep asking his players this sentence : what's your deepest fear?

I cannot understand why...but until a big huha which he suspends all his players to play game as some of his players didn't attain their academic result and the community disagree his style and wants him to let the students to continue to play basketball as they won streaks of games this seasons. Eventually, it was brought to school judgement as votings have been used to force him to let the students to play the game and practice.

But to those student they make a promise...one of them answer him the question that he kept asking them.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. ...Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking, so that other people won't feel insecure around you... As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others"

This really hit me...we sometimes dun realise how powerful we are and keep thinking things that we can't and become our fear eventually. So now i have to be more powerful and i will not fear anything as i will bring light to others and liberated fear from others.

P.S Good movie to catch...

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...

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!

Current mood: Angry cum Frustrated
