A new 2-year plan...

2012... time for something big.. =)

Stay tuned for more updates...

It's been a while...

It's been 5 years since my last entry.. I wonder if anyone's still having this site 'book-marked'.. I guess not..

Anyhow, it's been a wonderful and busy 5 years.. which might explain why I hadn't been blogging. .=)

Doesn't mean that time now is down and free for me.. just that I thought it might be apt to re-live this blog.. and see what else I could start blogging about..

Guess it's impt to always continue reflecting abt life.. seeking inspiration.. and being an inspiration...

Let's see how long I can last this time...

Keeping the Faith... =)

'Nobody gives a damn when I'm Miserable, so I might as well be Happy!!'

That's gonna be my quote for a long time to come man... speaks for itself...

'Seems to me You have been Enjoying your Time of Your Life.. I'm Glad I can finally be History.. and I Hope I can finally start Moving On..'

all my bags are packed up, I'm ready to go...

What a way to end of the month, than having to take a flight to a new land for overseas trg.. on the 1st of a new month...

Reality check.. from the long list of resolutions and to-dos.. I seem to have fulfill little... having only gotten my power pleasure craft licence.. gaining up on my savings though.. but rest pretty much where I started off from...

Still drinking like a fish at times.. had to agree when one of my new found pal exclaim that, 'don't drink, then do what?'.. imagine a couple of dudes trying to find some activity on a saturday night, only to be able to think of things revolving ard alcohol... (we end up catching 'Assault on precinct 13'.. not really that nice with a jammed story line I would say, it's afterall revolving ard a night of activity)

Wondering how it would be like over at India this time tmw man... probably engaged in the 10 hours at least coach ride to the trg area... hopefully can grab some sleep during then...

Yet another boring weekend spent largely at home... can't even be bothered to leave house and got my sister to help me do my shopping for India necessities... sigh... am I evolving back into a loner?

Women are from Venus... sometimes, I seriously can't understand them... what are they really thinking... and what do they really want...

Oh well... 19 days or so away from home.. by the time I come back, gonna have wasted March as well... Shit... 1/4 of the year pass... doubt I would have much progress in my resolutions and to-dos.. diving's postponed all the way till ard April I guess... I just hope my new posting would be firmed by the week I touch down... Give me something worthy to do!!!

Btw, who's Phenol? Been leaving comments on my post, but ain't responding to my attempts to identify... Who are you my friend?

See ya folks in 19 days time...

bye... still missing you...

WTSHNN...

"What can I give back to God
For the blessings he's poured out on me
I'll lift high the cup of salvation
A toast to God

I'll pray in the name of God
I'll complete what I promised God I'll do
And I'll do it together with his people"
- Bono, before singing WTSHNN, Elevation 2001, Boston

Right Here Right Now...

What a day it has been... one of the busier ones for the break... at least it was plenty of actions going on ard... Went to the pool to complete 30 laps in under 45mins... must say that it was a feat considering that I retired from the swimming scene for quite a while.. must do under 40mins then can go for the Singapore Biathlon liao... anyone keen to join me?

What was supposed to be just a short meet up session with a diver friend of mine, plus servicing my reg and BCD, turned up to be a catching up session with my dive instructor, Andrew.. he was supposed to be away at Manado, but came back for a while before flying off next month... Had a long chat with him.. plus booze of course... 4 bottles of heniken to be exact... was talking abt his venture to Manado and how he was finally having his dreams coming true.. happy for you boss.. hopefully I can follow u this coming CNY... need to complete my DM as well as experience the simple yet happy lifestyle over there man... "Make a decision, stick with it... Make a mistake, learn from it..." was one of the notable quotes he mentioned... must say I really learnt a lot from him during my diving days man.. from making diving as a passion... to learning the ways to lead a colourful life... You da man boss... So when's the next Hawaiian Five-O man? Plus the stupid card game with the pee cards and your peeping trump card else u won't play? Miss those days man....

Next was the power pleasure craft diving licence lesson... must say that I really learnt quite a bit from this course I signed up.. at least I'm more aware of the islands, beacons, light houses, buoys around the island now... so next time if I'm ever out at sea.. I won't be lost... can even rent a yacht next time to go out to sea... but I can only carry 12 people lah.. so who's interested?? Can make it into a Christmas or New Year countdown plan... or even someone's birthday man... =) I dun mind loaning my services as well.. charge by the minutes though...

More great activities coming up for the rest of the week... (ok guys still hard @ work.. dun be jealous k? You all say I deserve it mah.... just waiting for S1 to call me to head back to work man... a part of me still yearning for that... serious...) Tennis, Sentosa, park connector blading, diving, touch, powercraft driving... plus a dim sum session coming up for the next 5 days... sometimes I'm not sure whether it's singlehood or just free time @ hand... just hope I won't be addicted to this...

More funny jokes to share...

The Engineer Joke:

'There are three engineers in a car; an electrical
engineer, a chemical engineer and a Microsoft
engineer. Suddenly the car just stops by the side of
the road, and the three engineer look at each other
wondering what could be wrong.

The electrical engineer suggests stripping down the
electronics of the car and trying to trace where a
fault might have occurred. The chemical engineer, not
knowing much about cars, suggests that maybe the fuel
is becoming emulsified and getting blocked somewhere.

Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about
anything, comes up with a suggestion, "Why don't we
close all the windows, get out, get back in, open the
windows again, and maybe it'll work!?"'


'How many Microsoft programers does it take to make Windows a good operating system?

More.'

Be a Wise man... Grab a MAC today...

"A part of me still yearns for you...
A part of me still wants to be close to you...
But I guess you should know, this time we have come too far...
Too far such that I really need to know from you...
Do you still feel the same for me too...
I don't know how to reassure you, that things are pretty much still the same as before...
Still the same as where we first left off...
Still the old me... still the old us... but I hope would be a new you...
A new you whom feels so right, when you are with me once again...
I'm still missing ya..."

The Art of creating Strength...

Just came back from a 5km run.. clocked a rather reasonable timing, at least was under the target I set before I attempted.. My ultimate timing would be under 20mins... averaging of 4mins per km... Achievable? I will let u know in 2 months' time... that's the target period I'm aiming @...

Anyway, back to my blog title today.. was running and running, till the point whereby I just felt like giving up.. I guess everyone would feel the same, esp after a period of hibernation, mine's since last wed's run.. with my neck giving me some sharp pain... plus my legs unwilling to raise an inch higher and further, I decided to try what my good old buddy said the other time, perhaps channeling all the sorrows and miseries that's plaguing your life now into strength, added strength and 'force/psycho' yourself to do better... not sure if it works, but at least I did the run under the timing I set.. These days it seemed, I'm pushing harder for all my runs.. Also, conditioning myself to stop using vulgarities when the going gets tough.. instead, nowadays I'm getting the much needed inspiration from who else, but God.. =) Starting my Navy SEALS training regime now.. hopefully I would survive and give my Ranger course one more shot this year... btw, don't be deter by the words 'Navy SEALS'.. I'm starting from an amatuer condition.. so everything is within the comfort zone.. just hope 18 weeks later (the whole trg program span 18 weeks) I would be a different man.. heh heh... at least fitter than now! =)

Must say nights are really a nice time to run at ECP, and there ain't much people running to begin with.. but lack the extra motivation upon being challenged lah... but then again, there's always the sights of couples strolling along, or a few amatuer bladers picking their skills up... 'next time when I'm attached again, u bet my arse I would bring my girl to stroll often along ECP man, and talk abt the dreams, aspirations, hopes the future holds for the both of us'.. anyway, running @ night also gives me the excuse to sleep in in the morning lah.. esp when I'm in 'cold storage' now (a term my dad kept asking if I was in... ha ha ha.. I'm not k)

Before I check out of here... some funny shit I picked up from a website... Sorry WINDOWS users...

"A stupid man never learns from his mistakes.
A smart man always learns from his mistakes.
A wise man learns from other peoples mistakes.

. . and buys a Mac."


"There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a "great" writer.
When asked to define "great", he said "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation and anger!"

He now works for Microsoft writing error messages."


I really love the next one

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said 'WHERE AM I?' in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said 'YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.' The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.

"I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer."

"And so, contact has been made again,
But would it be wise if I reciprocate?
I'm not sure this time, caused I have always choosen the obvious,
This time, perhaps, I'll try the alternative
And perhaps, just perhaps again, you would know how much I mean to you"

"Nobody has to be a hero, it just sometimes turn out that way."
