Relationship
Today my topic is about relationship. Why I wanted to talk about it because throughout this week alot of people been asking me why I still single and moreover, as this coming Lunur New Year festive seasons. Sure alot of friends and relatives will ask about me when geting married or have any girlfriend.
I dunno how to express myself on the relationship. Maybe Ya Lan was right, guys are too analyitical. As we think too much what other may think and in the end, we tend to lose out and back to square one. Haiz!
Somehow I really giving myself too many reasons to get attach with someone. Like work commitment, other volunteering works. I think this all can change or even reduce to the lifestyle we want to go for.
For me, I am just afraid of getting into a relationship because I afraid that I cannot give her happiness. I dun wan my partner to suffer with me. Sometimes I think too much that I am end up giving up. I also afraid of rejection from someone to like.
Haiz...alot of people say I am nice that I am able to find a girl easily but maybe I just been nice and end up every girl that I know and interested soon become good friends. But as time goes by, those likeness soon become normal and I begin to treat them just like everyone. I will take note everyone the likes n hates. The more I get to know them, I become a brother to them and I begin to think that they are so good which can find someone better than me.
Haiz...I still cannot cross over this barrier. If i can really breakthrough this, I surely will get a partner. Maybe in 10 yrs later. Hahaha
Anyway, this whole week been pressure by Ya Lan and even my volunteering friends asking why.
All I need is to pray to God that He can provide me with guidiance and enhance my courage and boldness to ask or invite a gal for a dinner or so. Beside that, I also pray for the sensetiveness with my words when having conversations with people.
Now I am in a dilema that the come Ship Anniversary Dinner and Dance that I need a partner but I still havn't found one yet. Headache...Now really need to ask God for help.

Drills
Today was a tiring and sweaty for me coz during the afternoon. I have to participate in the commissioning parade training which the weather was hot and making me now look like lobster. Hahaha
Really hate parade coz every year sure kenna at least one time. Sianz...Got to march and do arm drills. Speaking of this, my right arm is soring due to carrying the SAR 21 rifle. Damn heavy. I dunno why the SAF can make such a heavy rifle for urban warfare. It is much heavier than the usual M16. However, I think because of the equipment on the scope, laser and the all stupid stupid technology causing the weight so heavy.
Moreover, saying this...the arm drills for the SAR 21 so very ugly. I prefer the old times when we use the M16/AR15 on the parade.
Anyway, now praying that the weather will turn good for us during the training, rehearsal and actual. Coz today the weather really play with us. When we take break, the sky is cover with clouds but when we start our drills, the sky and the hot sun was there blazing at us...Ouch! I still feel the heat sensation on my neck.
But really hope that this could end faster as I will try to post my smart uniform when I wear it.

Operational Ready
Yahoo...Will Above All! Steadfast. This is our motto and we really earn it after a long sailing week. We finally pass our R1 inspection and now my ship is complete operational ready for deployment.
Thank God for the strength that empower each of everyone during the sailing as most of us didn't manage to grab enough sleep. Moreover we still have a lot of stations to close up and simulations and scenarios were injected to test our competence.
Now we have run to a end point and a new beginning chapter for my ship has just begin. As for the time till 5th Feb, we will be having rehearsal for the commissioning parade for the 3 frigates including my ship. As part of the Guard of Honor. I will be wearing my No. 1 again.
Quote of the day:
- Tough times don't last but Tough men do.
This i believe no matter how hard we are going through as long as we have faith and believe we can fo it and make it to the last. We can go through the hardship and sweet aroma will soon be seen.

Tied down by Work
Well, been really tired for the entire week. And there are more to come this week as I will be sailing from Mon till Thur and hoping there are at least a couple of hrs of rest of me. If not, I dunno how I'm going to survive .
Well, just back from 2 days of sailing which this is my first time having exercising with the US Ship. Actually it is a Oil-er Ship call USNS John Ericssion. This is the first time for the RSN milestone that we have our first time to conduct side replenishment. To the higher ranking officials whom sail together with us. We show them our professionalism when conducting this seaman evolution even this is the first time and we have limited time of training.
Anyway, back on sat. I was suppose to Stand-in one of my colleague for duty until he came back which he will reach the base around 9pm which somehow I make an arrangement with him that I will took over his duty so that he won't be too rush and I also dunno how he can compensate the time I waited. Anyway, wil talk to him on the arrangement tml again.
As for today, the sermon that Ps Tan really give me some ponders thinking which I have been neglected.
- 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.
To understand this better please read the following webby:
http://hubpages.com/hub/9010_Principles_of_Stephen_Covey
- If I don't see from God's perspective, I will end up being distracted and tempted by what is momentary.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
So...pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. "Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
I think thats all for the time as I will be sailing tommorrow. Tata!

Start of a new journal
Sound serious when looking at the topic right? Well, after Wednesday cell group meeting, my dear cell group leader given us a every week affair thingy to do. Write journal. I know it is abit hard for some of us but it is a good thing that we can start to record it down as to constant remind us and share it to others to. Not a bad idea, so i decided to write it into my blog just in case if i happen to miss any of the cell group meeting. My cell group members still able to read my journal. Whahaha.
So just before I get myself away for work or forgot, time for me to pen down something interesting that i have learn or so call refresh. Well, yesterday, I attend my annual vocation forum. And there are alot of things that I learn. I know most of us have watch the movie "Facing the Giants". Remember the part where the coach blind fold one of the player and ask him to carry one of his member from one end of the field to another end. Think again how can we relate it into our life.
I should not go on futhurmore for this.
And thing i learn is that we can relate ourselves into the hand and fingers. God is just like our "hand" and we are the "fingers". Some look nice, some not but all of us have different talents which God have given us the gift of talent. Each of everyone's talent serve its purpose in the body of christ. Just like the fingers of our hand. The Thumb might look short and ugly but without it, we can use our hand to do work. I know some of us are inferior of our life and been searching the true self. But what really I can say is that, when we walk with God, we won't be short change and everyone should help one another in times and run together to the end point.
Last of all, before i have to go, always give someone a yellow ribbon. Yellow ribbon doesn't mean only for jailers or ex-convicts. but it stand to mean I forgive you and I am willing to give someone a second chance. Never give up someone, no matter how bad he or she is. Coz we never know how this person can impact us.

More to add?
Yesterday after church service, went for fellowship with my cell group members. We have our bowling session hoping to eat some turkey but too bad...none of us got to eat it. Hahaha.
Anyway, while waiting for the lane to bowl. Have some interesting conversation with Mich and Jailing. Talk about finding the right partner.
As for me, I still believe in fate. If we are meant for each other, God will help me to bring both of us together. But sometimes action and effort really require which Pastor have say during the service. Really have to set my goal for find a true partner this year.
Mich and Jailing keep asking what are my criteria for finding a life partner. For me, she no need to as pretty just well-looking. Her attitude towards life mustn't be too laid bad. She must able to take hardship. Been thrity is a must coz she can able to stop me from spending too much...haha. I think thats for the time.

New Year Resoultions 2008
Let see, this year what can i really do.
Spiritual Life
Beside attend regular church service and cell group meetings, time to harvest for Kingdom of God as share my testimonials to others.
Family & Friends
In the force, I didn't have luxury for meeting up friends. Perhaps need to spend quality time with my family and friends. At least twice a year for old schoolmates. Couple of times with my volunteers friends and usual meet ups with church friends for fellowship. Open up with my love life. Stop been alone.
Health
This year must attain at least Silver for IPPT and buck up my records for the marathon. Really need to train up on my running.
Emotional Growth
Continue to control my emotion and only speak up when required.
Education, Intellectual, Professional
This year really need to work extra mile for attaining my Indonesian Language. Not only that, also need to read up more books on leadership and cookery.
Materials
Spend wisely and clear my debt within this 6 mths and thank God I'm going to make good use for my overseas deployment to grab some goodies for a new business.
Leisure
This year no vacation for me again but an overseas deployment might broad my horizon and happen that I can travel to Brunei, Guam, Hawaii - Pearl harbour, Japan - Yokosuka(Tokyo Bay), Nagasaki(TBC), China - Shanghai, Zhanjiang(Guangzhou Province). There might be more Ports of call. Depends on the duration. This time will be sailing off for couple of exercise. I will keep an update on my blog during my sailing. Coz still can use Internet.
Creativity
Yup...hope to get more goods during overseas deployment and sell it on Internet...hope can earn more. Must find friends to ask for suggestion.

New Year 2008
Its been awhile and I been busy with work and my family. So didn't have much time updating my dear blog.
Okie Porkee...for the past whole month, what did I did? Let see...well, basically more on work. Went for my Yearly Standard Chartered Marathon Run which this year I perform badly...Maybe I didn't train well or never train at all...hahaha
I also volunteer myself on help the One Life Experience Exhibition organise by World Vision and Health Promotion Board. This is about letting the public aware of HIV and AIDS that's caused not only on the patients also their friends and family. A good exhibition that i strongly recommend friends to walk-through with mp3 to listen to the stories about the 3 different character which is real in life. Experience their life and reflect about how we can tackle about the discrimination and sigma on HIV and AIDS patients. We only have one life...do something...oops that's the tag line. Hurry go down to SMU for the last visit as it will ends at 2 Feb 2008. Experience it!
Beside helping the world vision, I also busy worry about my mum health conditions. Thank God for the blessing. The remove of the green bean size tumor was a success and now my mum is back at work. Moreover, the tumor is not cancerous type. So really Thank God. Another good news is that, regards on my mum liver condition is that the level have drop back to acceptable level and the GP says that it is due to the medication so right now, without taking that medication to control her high cholesterol she got to watch her diet more often and I also controlling her...:P anyway, sometimes I do give some liberty to eat.
Alright, today is a new year...let's look back wat did i did for the past year that did i attain my goals?
Got it from my past blog:
1) Spiritual Life
- Attend Cg meetings and Church Service regularly. Know more about God
Although currently I'm stay in camp, hopefully by the end of my course in May. I can start to attend CG meetings. I will make effort to pray everyday and do my daily reflection with God.
P.S Yes, I really attend CG meetings and also make myself go to makeup CG meetings whenever I didn't make it for CG meeting. A good regular church service attendance. Only I didn't manage to finish my Christian Lifestyle by this year.
2) Family & Friends
- Giving more quality time for family like go out for dinner and vacations.
Since i will be very busy and also unable to take leave until May, hopefully I can plan a vacation with my parents to Taiwan or Hongkong this coming Nov.
P.S Well, really spend quality time with my family even like watching the same drama series and talk about daily life happening and making suggestions for each everyone. Too bad due to busy schedule didn't manage to go vacation with them.
- Hope to improve relationship with her.
I know that i didn't been trying very hard on pursuit but coz I really dun want her to feel that I'm a pest. I will still wait for her until she is back on Jul. Maybe i should plan something special...when she is back!
P.S Well, regards of this...i think i better keep in silence coz i didn't been persistence. Just have a few occasional meetings. Quite sad.
3) Health
- Get Gold for IPPT
Okay, its might be difficult for me to attain Gold award but I must do it...coz for the past 2 years, I only getting a Pass only...must buck up...need to do more push up every night and running everyday at least 3km.
P.S okay...i really didn't attain any Gold not even Silver. Didn't work hard on my physical. Haiz...no wonder i run badly on my marathon.
4) Emotional Growth- Control my anger.
Well, I need to control my anger as it might reflect very bad to myself. So I need to remind myself to control whenever there is a conflict.
P.S I think i started to control my anger but somehow still have clashes with my dad due to some disagreement but soon it been reconcile.
5) Education, Intellectual, Professional- Attain Standard 1 for Indonesian
Okay, i really didn't been putting effort on it. So it is time for me to read up and write and speak Indonesian language daily at least an hr for it. Find someone to teach me during the weekends.
P.S I really didn't put much effort on studying...Great...Really need to improve. If not my head going to roll soon when my boss kicks in.
6) Materials- Debt reduction
Due to large spending, i need to be more thrifty for this year. Spend the necessary items.
- Saving
I set a target to save $10k for this year for my ORD usage as to further my studies on cookery.
P.S Another problem, I didn't manage to save my target but however manage to reduce my spending and clear most of my debt. Believe in God that I will clear within 6 mths more...
7) Leisure
- Vacation
I've plan a short vacation with my parents on the coming Nov to either Taiwan or HongKong
P.S haha...this year no vacation...
8) Creativity
- New Business ideas.
Actually I've have new business ideas and need to make my own proposal. Hoping to start it on April.
P.S Actually Have lotsa of ideas but didn't start coz afraid of failure. Maybe can start with someone...
Alright time to write my new year resolutions again.
Okie Porkee...for the past whole month, what did I did? Let see...well, basically more on work. Went for my Yearly Standard Chartered Marathon Run which this year I perform badly...Maybe I didn't train well or never train at all...hahaha
I also volunteer myself on help the One Life Experience Exhibition organise by World Vision and Health Promotion Board. This is about letting the public aware of HIV and AIDS that's caused not only on the patients also their friends and family. A good exhibition that i strongly recommend friends to walk-through with mp3 to listen to the stories about the 3 different character which is real in life. Experience their life and reflect about how we can tackle about the discrimination and sigma on HIV and AIDS patients. We only have one life...do something...oops that's the tag line. Hurry go down to SMU for the last visit as it will ends at 2 Feb 2008. Experience it!
Beside helping the world vision, I also busy worry about my mum health conditions. Thank God for the blessing. The remove of the green bean size tumor was a success and now my mum is back at work. Moreover, the tumor is not cancerous type. So really Thank God. Another good news is that, regards on my mum liver condition is that the level have drop back to acceptable level and the GP says that it is due to the medication so right now, without taking that medication to control her high cholesterol she got to watch her diet more often and I also controlling her...:P anyway, sometimes I do give some liberty to eat.
Alright, today is a new year...let's look back wat did i did for the past year that did i attain my goals?
Got it from my past blog:
1) Spiritual Life
- Attend Cg meetings and Church Service regularly. Know more about God
Although currently I'm stay in camp, hopefully by the end of my course in May. I can start to attend CG meetings. I will make effort to pray everyday and do my daily reflection with God.
P.S Yes, I really attend CG meetings and also make myself go to makeup CG meetings whenever I didn't make it for CG meeting. A good regular church service attendance. Only I didn't manage to finish my Christian Lifestyle by this year.
2) Family & Friends
- Giving more quality time for family like go out for dinner and vacations.
Since i will be very busy and also unable to take leave until May, hopefully I can plan a vacation with my parents to Taiwan or Hongkong this coming Nov.
P.S Well, really spend quality time with my family even like watching the same drama series and talk about daily life happening and making suggestions for each everyone. Too bad due to busy schedule didn't manage to go vacation with them.
- Hope to improve relationship with her.
I know that i didn't been trying very hard on pursuit but coz I really dun want her to feel that I'm a pest. I will still wait for her until she is back on Jul. Maybe i should plan something special...when she is back!
P.S Well, regards of this...i think i better keep in silence coz i didn't been persistence. Just have a few occasional meetings. Quite sad.
3) Health
- Get Gold for IPPT
Okay, its might be difficult for me to attain Gold award but I must do it...coz for the past 2 years, I only getting a Pass only...must buck up...need to do more push up every night and running everyday at least 3km.
P.S okay...i really didn't attain any Gold not even Silver. Didn't work hard on my physical. Haiz...no wonder i run badly on my marathon.
4) Emotional Growth- Control my anger.
Well, I need to control my anger as it might reflect very bad to myself. So I need to remind myself to control whenever there is a conflict.
P.S I think i started to control my anger but somehow still have clashes with my dad due to some disagreement but soon it been reconcile.
5) Education, Intellectual, Professional- Attain Standard 1 for Indonesian
Okay, i really didn't been putting effort on it. So it is time for me to read up and write and speak Indonesian language daily at least an hr for it. Find someone to teach me during the weekends.
P.S I really didn't put much effort on studying...Great...Really need to improve. If not my head going to roll soon when my boss kicks in.
6) Materials- Debt reduction
Due to large spending, i need to be more thrifty for this year. Spend the necessary items.
- Saving
I set a target to save $10k for this year for my ORD usage as to further my studies on cookery.
P.S Another problem, I didn't manage to save my target but however manage to reduce my spending and clear most of my debt. Believe in God that I will clear within 6 mths more...
7) Leisure
- Vacation
I've plan a short vacation with my parents on the coming Nov to either Taiwan or HongKong
P.S haha...this year no vacation...
8) Creativity
- New Business ideas.
Actually I've have new business ideas and need to make my own proposal. Hoping to start it on April.
P.S Actually Have lotsa of ideas but didn't start coz afraid of failure. Maybe can start with someone...
Alright time to write my new year resolutions again.

Praying
Yup, after having 2nd opinon from different doctor. I was much relieve on my mum conditions but however she was schedule to have another blood test next month to indicated whether the liver malfunction problem lies on the medication she is taking or really my mum age is catching up and started to malfuction. However, been praying for her.
Since she have to stop the medication thats means she need to watch her diet and kinda sad for her coz she only can take vege and fruits which no no meats. No oily thingy for her too...now like everyday I will nag on her not to cook oily foods and reduce the meat portion too...
Hope that next month quickly come as can have the blood test to see whether the problem lies on the medication. Just need somemore time...
Haiz...worry...

Unpredictable
Its been a long time that I didn't making effort to blog. Alot of things happen...Been working stressful in my work. Try very hard to learn more things and gain more experiences like helo landing and fire fighting. Try very hard...but the more I want, I couldn't focus. I believe there is a will, there is a way. Coz God will provide me the strength and comfort.
Haiz...I'm trouble by my mum health conditions. Was away for a week for work commitment and heard bad news from her when I was back. Firstly, her middle finger got a swollen with a bump or sort of turmor like that which she need to go for an minor operation this end of the month. She was worry about the medical bills. I told her not to worry coz her company should pay for her medical bill as it was due to work related so there should have compensation on it.
However, things got worst as two days later she receive her blood test report which indicated her high blood pressure got worst and on top of that, her liver diagnostic indicated that there is something happen on her liver. I am so scared, I dunno what I can do now. All I can do is to calm down her, saying that maybe the report was a mistake and sugguest that she should go for another blood test to comfirm. Am I bluffing myself? I am worry about her. I trying to control my emotion.
Life is so unpredictable, no one knows whats going to happen. How I wish is me, coz at least I'm insured as my mum didn't got any insurance as she is quite thrity on herself.
I really not yet prepare for anymore bad news...

Updates
Yup...Its been a while that i didnt blog. I also dunno where to start.
Let see...well, actually yesterday during the service somehow I have a vision. This vision is that i somehow see myself getting a a stall in a coffeeshop, set up a stall that sells food. The signboard is call - Anchorage (a place to stop and rest).
Found this name very interesting, it is a place for ship to stop-over. Life is just like a journey, we need to stop to rest and garb a bite. I hope that in the near future when i finish getting my skill upgraded, I will set up this stall. Even it is small one, but this is a place where people came here for a bite, a place for people to rest, a place for people meet, a place for people to stop, a place for people to gather.
Hoping this place can bring something special to people whenever they are happy or sad.

Unknown $$
Okie...this really freak me out...It has been continuously 3 mths that every end of the month there is always credit sum of money into my account.
Although, It is not a huge amount of money but this money is given by SAF. But usually i get my salary on the 10th. Now I still trying to figure out why they keep on credit in money every end of the month. I only submit 1 USMS for last month and I got the money already. What other possible factors that they can credit money in...I think i should try to ask the seniors around...
Sometimes when money pour in must have its purpose, but in this case, I still don't really know why they keep on credit in. Thats freaking my out. Now I don't whether I should use it or not..but one thing is that 10% of this sum of money surely will go into tithing.
Don't know should call up to check or not...

Hack or Suay?
Well, today was looking at my internet banking and found out that i have 2 unauthorise transactions. With a total sum of $277 been deducted onto my credit card.
I was so shocked coz the transaction dates were like donkey years ago. One was dated on 20/12/2006 and 3/3/2007. Both transactions came from the same company and I already reported to my credit card company and ask them to make investigation on this matter.
Beside these, I also email to the company that have deducted my money. Now I will see how thing goes...hope that I can get back the money.
