Review

Obviously this entry was not typed and posted on the 31st December. I wanted to make the entries clearer. Today is 4th January 2006. 1405hours.

Ok, The Alumni dinner was special. I was not wha ti had expected: round tables, performances on the hall stage, while we have our dinner. I was a performance, with seats arranged liked in the cinemas then after the performances, we then have our dinner and the get-together at the back of the hall. I brought the camera along without checking out the memory card, and in the end, it was with the 32mb, the smallest capacity memory card we had. I only managed to have 15 shots that night.


Guess which one is my former Mathematics Teacher back in MJC?

After that it was time to go home. Esther, WenSi and I were all going the same direction home. WenSi was actually not feeling too good that day, well, what happened, i do not know too well. Then it was time to alight, all at the same stop. WenSi had to change bus. Esther's place is just right across the street. Well, mine is walking distance away from the stop. WenSi's bus came, she got onto the bus and left. Well, WHAT WAS I THINKING? She was not feeling well, and was actually carrying a paer bag which is quite heavy. Why did not i send her home? The question of the year. In the end i managed to find out that she got home safely. Without a hassel; using wireless technology, the cellphone (what else? Duh!)

Sleep.

Wake up go to work! The last few minutes of 31st December 2005 was spent along Orchard Road, more exactly at Kramat Road. Inside a Police car. Haha, I spotted Shi Min (MJC) at one of the food stall along there while proceeding to atttend a case. Surprised, surprised.

It was an interesting night shift for me as it was the first time i encountered so many happenings. It was my first time sitting in an ambulance, i was performing so many type of Police roles in just a short 12 hours, like patrol, sentry, escort, driver, etc.

As i have said, this entry is not in the correct time, it is just to facilitate my blogging for these few days, well, cya soon peeps!

Next up, i'll be talking about church and shopping trips with MJC guys!

Mistakes

I certainly has an affinity with mistake.

First i made several quite disturbing mistakes during work. Forget to write this, forget to sign that etc. Well at least i have a forgiving partner, or else i do not even dare to think how the end of me will look like.

Well, yesterday is my inservice. There is a slight change. Now it's decentralised, meaning that the first half will be at HQ, the second half will be back at station. Then after that our new Big Boss initiated a jogging session. Another mistake related to me. I had not exercise regularly for the past one month, and this run with another young, fit man, is terribly a good mistake. Panting sounds called for the end of the joging session. After that, Louis and I went to Kovan to have our dinner.

After dinner, Louis headed for home via the MRT. I continued to walk around Heartland mall. I bought printer ink. Then i had initially wanted to buy a notebook from Popular. Mistake. The queue was long, trust me. I then went down to the watch shop. Well, ther is quite a deal there. Adidias watch 80's style selling for $60. U.P. $95. I was a bit tempted, but guessed that i wanted something else although that adidas timepeace loks great. Next i went to BodyShop to take a look at the perfumes there. Did not buy too. Still deciding.

Oh ya, did i mentioned that i went to watch Chronicles of Narnia on the 28th morning with some of the SF peeps at Bishan? Yep. The visual is stunning. Good cinematics. The actors acted well, really well. There are scenes which touches your heart (you might feel strangely familiar with some scenes, like as if you are the person or something). The message behind the show is clear. The Movie is good for all ages, but very comprehensive for people of our age. Then we went to the BodyShop there to just to make scents. Well....

Okay, at heartland mall, after taking a look at BodyShop, i went to NanYang Optics to make enquiries about the frame that i was looking for, but was sadly being informed that they could not get it. Then i proceeded for home.

I bumped into Samantha, Candice and their sister. This time, i saw Candice first. Well, i was jokingly mistaken for following them. I was not following anyone, and will not do so, unless duty bound during work, that is another story. Well we alighted at the stop leading to church. Then hanged around the gate for a while, chatting. Mistake again. I was tricked by them, when they pulled a prank on me. Well, i was too tired last night, and well, my job require me to take down facts from the people. If it so happened that they are not that truthful, they might be charged for giving false report by the court. Well, i was too tired. So is that a valid excuse? Haha. Zi Yun was there too. She a Meridian Junior, and i walked her to the bus stop. chatted with her and find out how Meridian is doing now. Found out that they managed to fix the leak onthe ceilling. Wow.

I then returned home almost dead beat. Haha. Hmmm...

Later on, evening, i'll be going for a Alumni Dinner back at MJC. Hope to see ya friends there! I've promised Joy to take photographs! Now that is no mistake!

After that , the rest of the days.

Nothing much to elaborate for 22nd, 23rd december. Except for a few words. Busy, crazy and dangerous.

Busy, no doubt, Crazy, as expected, Dangerous, well some of you might know what i meant, right? 23rd december, someone going around checking out. Stressed.

24th, right after my night shift, as usual, i went to have my lunch, that day, i went to Kova, Yoshinoya to have beef & salmon bowl. I went home immediately to have my share of rest, because i am expected to be attending a 1724 meeting. But at 5pm, i tried to wake up, but to no avail. I could not get up, although i woke up. Then it was 7pm, finally i was able to get up, but i was not feeling too good. Have a headache and felling feverish. Feeling nausea too. Pop 2 Panadol pills. Watched "a Blessed Christmas" in the state of half-consciousness. Then my father came home. Had some fruits as i did not have dinenr. Soon after i finished watching the show then i asked my father to accompany me to the doctor's. We took a $2.40 + $1 taxi trip there. Then spent a $72 medical fee for me to get a 5minute consultation, 4 packs of medication and a medical certificate. I took a 'stop the nausea' pill as advised by the doctor. i felt worse by the second. We took the bus home.

After alighting from the bus, within walking distance, i vomitted at the void deck of the block opposite the bus stop. Wow, felt better instantly. Would not have went to the doctor if i had vomitted earlier to spent the $72. Haha. well, at least i could have another day of rest today. My mom and sis arrived home to discovered that the vomit they noticed at the void deck belonged to me.

25th Christmas, My sister and i went to Church. Well she got a lot of praises from the friends and pastor at Church. Haha, Good, good. Well, both Sherman and i were dressed up for the occasion in nice chic blazers! Next after the programme, my sister went to meet her friend. Then i went to the highly anticipated celebration. At Cheryl's / Han Wei's house. We had a gift exchange, well to think that the gals did it in private inside Cheryl's room, without letting us, the gus, share the cosiness and the rowdiness of the entire gift exchange. we (the guys) thought that it was going to be done simultaneously. In the end, the 4 of us ended up drawing lots for our gifts. haha. I got Haojie's, he got mine, Wei got sherman's and vice versa.

Dinner at Downtown East Foodcourt! A lot of us opted fot the Fish Soup. Well, the fish slices tasted sweet and is very fine. But i thought that the soup is not flavourful enough. I then headed home not long after that.

When i got home, i then called my bosses that i have to utilise my Medical certificate. I guess i must. Because my stomach still give me to butterflies, maybe moths too. Hope they will fly away by today. You see I did not really want to get sick on Christmas eve. I was initially contempalting to take leave on Boxing day when my boss had offered us the chance on our last shift. I approach them after the vacancies were taken, and got a small earful. Well this Medical certificate costed $72. More than my meal allowance. And almost one sixth of my monthly pay. Well... Medical fees versus Pay.

Refershing...

21st December. Hmmm... Well, Aloysius drove to my place, we had a little "exchange programme". He came here to exchange some of my clothes with his.Next, i took a ride on his family blue Mercz, driven by him, to his place. It was my turn to take my pick.

Next before we left his house, he brought me to a place. Johore Battery.

Johore Battery is actually a National education site just off Changi, We can actually see the airport from Johore Battery. It is actually the site where the Monster Guns are strategically placed during the War times for our National Defence then.

Then off we then to Changni Village. But just as Aloysius finished parking his car, he received a call. Then we are off, in the car again, without our lunch. His father called up, he had a schedule to follow, so Aloy went to the SAFRA Changi to fetch his father, we are okay with that as we are not that hungry. Then we ended up at Kembangan MRT station.

We ended up having Carl's Junior at Marina, with Xue Qian. Wow, great lunch man. I actually acked then the math trick question Constance asked 1724 on saturday, but we got more confused. So we shopped around Marina Square, but bought nothing. Shopped around Suntec, too bought nothing. Went back to City-Link, because i wanted to try out some shorts from the surf brands. In the end, i found nice bermudas, but it was too expensive. about $90? Ya. So we then continued walking towards the direction of the MRT station. Just then saw another fellow Meridian, a smarter one. We then ask him the math question too. He was initially confused but said he will continue to think through it on his way on the MRT with Aloy & Qian.

I had to do my Christmas shopping, thus i carried on walking at Raffles City. Just then, there was a Harp performance, titled Cannon in D (i think it's in D). Heavenly sounds. Well i managed to buy the present for the Han's residence Christmas celebration, and another for Hao Jie. But i really could not find for the otehr dear Brothers and Sister.

I was getting late. I had to go home.

Another Shopping Trip... sianz

Saturday, (17th) i went out with Aloysius, Amanda and Andy. Amanda had to leave for work at Liang Court at a Japanese restaurant, so she left at about 5pm. We were at Guess Ngee Ann City at that point of time. Well, then it's all boys then! Haha!!

But the day was not as interesting, well, because i had walked almost the whole of Orchard Road a few days ago. Well, except Heeren and Ngee Ann City/Takashimaya. So basically, since i had already done my walking days ago, i went there to be their critic and also to give comments. aloy bought a S$20 SEED jeans from Taka and Andy bought a pair of S$99 Adidas brown coloured shoes from Heeren. In the end we all decided to go to Cineleisure to have our dinner.

We were very indecisive to whether to what to have for dinner. So we went to Yoshinoya, Cineleisure. At there, we realised that there is a Long John Silver right beside it, then we all simultaneously agreed to go there. Wow, great dinner, to our satisfaction.

I was quite full, and i was initially going to meet my parents and sisters who are over at Plaza Singapura. i was thinking that the walking from Somerset to dhoby Ghaut will do some good to my digestion since i had such a good meal that night. Then Aloysius was there trying to pursuade me to accompany him & Andy to take the train from Somerset. I was contemplating betwen whether to walk or to take the train. Haha, he was like:" you are lazy, although you you are not, but you want to take the train although you really want to walk" that type of negative motivation. Successful. I took the train. One reason because, i thought of meeting my parents just to be able to take taxi home with them (lazy lah), and of course now i am lazy to walk such a distance (laziness compromised). Second, because there will be companionship along part of the way.

At the stop for me to change over (Dhoby Ghaut Interchange) i alighted and waved goodbye to Aloysius and Andy, and soon after i was waving hi to someone else. You see, it was not far, to be exact, one carraige down; as i was walking towards the stairs leading from NSL to NEL, when i spotted someone with a very familiar hairstyle. She is Samantha (in a nice red Fila tee). Of course, i waved to her with a 'hello' and then i noticed her other sisters right beside her. Candice (in a bright blue top) and their youngest sister (also in a blue tee), whom at this point of time cannot recall her name (i'm truly sorry). Then we started chatting and finding out why each party is at that location. Well, should i say, that all of us were shopping, although we all had made no purchase?

On the NEL train home, towards Serangoon, we all can know that Candice is exremely interested to have a career (like i have mentioned in an entry long time ago). I also find out that she had decided to stay in JC after having stuck in a dilemma having to continue or try out Polytecnic. Hey, i was not eavesdropping, alright? Just heard that information from friend. Generally we chatted about National Service, Church (bread talk, nope, i cannot go, but i'll be in church that day), our house (we're neighbours you know!) When we reached our station, i was informed that their father was picking them up in a "kangaroo van". I made several guess, cause the concept sounded like Han Wei's father's vehicle. I guesses "mercez?" wrong answer. Then i guessed " FIAT?" Correct answer. Well she offered me a ride home. I answered that I would if it was not a hassal to them. Candice suggested that i can run home and see who gets there first. Well, we were already at the vehicle. It was a mini van, the so-called kangaroo van, interesting. Thus i got a ride home, and thanked them for the ride. Smooth Ride, continued chatting. I thanked their father again when we reach our area.

Well, as for today's event, i shall update tomorrow, it is now already 22/12/05 0030hourshours, i should be resting.

Basically, i met Aloysius, have a NE lesson, exchanged cloths (great way to expand our wardrobe), went for lunch, went shopping at Suntec, solved a mathematical IQ question, and i'm back home again. Soon after, i registeres for my SAT, chatted with Hao Jie, and was Blogging. OK, i really got to go now.

My First pair of Levi's Jeans

Hey, i got my 1st pair of Levi's Jeans at JB City Square! I went shopping with my family over our neighbour country. It cost me RM219, which initially i am not very sure whether if it was cheaper or the same price back home. I was wanting to get it at a even better price, well, if possible. Then i messaged Min Hui and Hao Jie, to find out the prices of the Levi's 512 at Singapore. They recalled it to be about more than S$100 (they guessed 140?). Well i calculated it to be about S$90, and i returned back to the Levi's Store at level one after we finished shopping the other floors.

(",)

YEAH! My 1st Pair! "More will come my way!" i cheekily told my mother. Haha

Shopping!

I went out with MinQi today. We have not met up since a long time ago. She had not change much, still as elegant as ever. Like a swan, some will say, but a more tanned version. It was nice seeing old friends again. We started our shopping at Queensway Shopping Centre. Saw nothing of interest much, basically a lot of shoes, and some men's clothings. Although i saw a very nice pair of spectacle, Hugo Boss 15585, i did not buy it, because i was still looking out for other suitable modles, and also the shop is so far, very inconvenient to go collect, or to repair, have a quick fix if anything happen. I have not claimed the Flexi-benifit, that is why i'm looking at spectacles.

Then we went down to Orcahrd (reminded me of something very familiar). We reach Orchard first at Shaw House. I have told her of the small corner at level 3 which have a mini 90%off sale of different products during different weeks. I also spotted the Chinese New Year Shirt that Aloysius bought for about $40 or so. It is only $29 today there. Then we walked towards the direction of Far East Plaza. On the way, we walked into some of the shops too, but also, did not see much.

Went to Pacific Plaza, nothing much, except loads of Surf brands products.

At Far East Plaza, while we were looking around, she saw this skirt *hint hint to Daniel* that she liked so very much, and she told me that the last time she was there, she also saw this skirt, as it caught her attention instantly. *triple hint hint to Daniel, can u get it?* Next i pop by Purple, at Level1 to visit Kai Yun, she is doing fine then. She was wering a black top. At that time, she only waved at me, but then did not really came out and say 'hi' or anything. I then walked into the shop and chatted with her. she asked me if she was my Girlfriend, well of course i answered honestly, no. And it's then i found out that her sister is working at the upper floor today. Then next i walked past the shop selling the skirt again, and again, MinQi was there eyeing the skirt, telling me how much she like it *quadriple hint hint to Daniel*. We then continue our shopping and of course to look out for Kai Hui to say 'hi'. I got to meet Kai Hui, and chatted with her too! Well, to tell people the truth, not every girl that i was with at Far East is my Girlfriend. The last time i was at Far East with my sister, i also went to pop by Kai Hui's work place, she asked me if she was my Girlfriend. That was last time. And everytime i asked her if she has eaten, she has always done so. Haha. Then i found out that she is amking time to go to the Christmas event at Han Ying/ Han Wei's place, which is good! Because they are getting themselves more involved in Church stuffs, step by step.

After Far East we walked to Tangs. I informed that there is a very nice perfume, Ralph Lauren Romance Silver. We tried it at Tangs first floor. Silver a new variation of the Romance series. I thought the Silver is the nicest smelling of the series, comprising of the original, Blue and the Silver. She thought so too. The other 2 is too strong. The other levels of Tangs are quite boring. Then as were about to leave, i spotted someone ,whose back is facing us, who looked very much like Evelyn. I mentioned that to her. She said that the girl did resembles Evelyn. We walked to the front, and she is really Evelyn. She asked us whether we are going to the Alumni Diner, and our answer is yes. Then she was saying that she was not sure and that she is still trying to pursuade the other girls to go. Well, i advised her to really pursuade, because it has been such a long time since we all meet up. She was in a hurry and left.

Walking along an interesting stretch of Orchard Road, Lucky Plaza. The shops there are built in such a unique way that they are sort of like a small basement. It was getting late, so we continued out way, towards Plaza Singapura.

At Plaza Singapura, our initial intention was to watch a movie, but seeing that the timing was not very appropriate, we decided not to catch the show. On our way down ehe escalator to basement, we bumped into Valerie and sorry I cannot remember what is your name, Valerie, please remind me again. So together, the 3 of us went to the food court to have out dinner, while MinQi is returning home to cook part of her dinner for her family, well, she and her sister shared the workload. Before i had my dinner Valerie introduced me her friend who is working at Yamaha, Jonathan. So we all had dinner together, althought Jo had his earlier, he accompanied the group to the Food Court which is just next door. After my meal, as usual i went to get some fruits, a bag of Guava, a stick of Grapefruit and a slice of Pineapple. It all amounted to $2.80. So expensive, if i should have known, i would have gotten less, like the guava should sufice.

After dinner, the 2 girls went to study at Valerie's Church at Park mall; they still have got their test tomorrrow. I went to Yamaha, the other part where Jo was not working at (he is at the instrument side, i went to the books side). I was wanting to buy a guitar sheet music book of Movie or Television Show titles, but there were none. I went to Mos to get myself a Coffee Milk Shake as a treat to myself before i embark on the train journey home.

I was at Kovan and went to enquired about the Spectacles at NanYang Optics. The shopkeeper said he would help me to make enquires about that particular model. It was at Kovan also that i realised that i wanted to check out the prices of Sun tan lotion back then at Far East Plaza Watson.

(",)

Finally, I am home. Tomorrow, I will be going to another Shopping Trip. This time I promise myself to buy, at least a pair of fitting, nice, beautiful Jeans!

I'm On Leave!!

I'm on leave! quite a long break to say.

Ok, quite a few major happenings happened these few days.

The dinner was great! Really. Although we got some tricks up our sleeves, which me and my lovely assistant performed to perfection. Haha. i would not reveal what that was, you know the saying, Reduce, REUSE, Recycle.



After that, i went to the arcade wth Addison and Minhui, played some (actually 3) shooting games and one classic Hong Kong game. Jay had wanted to play some Billard, so he went ahead with his game, and met with us later on. The bus ride was quite short, but through some eerie Old Tampines Road. Haha.

The night was over soon, but then the afternoon had reminded me of a familiar scene. Thursday afternoon, Qin Yi requested for help with the preparationof the Christmas event invitation card. While there, Esther was not there, but soon after i joined the group of girls with the preparation, i realised that the essence of Esther is present. The sprit, the flow of that energy, you just got that feeling. Qin Yi, just liek her sister, started her tauntings and teasings. Furthermore regarding the same topic as her sister's. Prove me wrong if i say that that both of them are not alike. Maybe it is a girl thing... ...

Come Friday, i went to Bugis with my sister, had lunch at the Long John Silver. We tried our luck at the scratch and win draw, but to no avail. Okay now, although i had no Girlfriend, but why, please tell me why. Why do i have to endure the pure torment of answering the ultimate question of "do i look fat in this?"? Is my sister putting me through 'the' training? At the end of the day, although i was ready to spend some money, we only bought a CD each. My sister bought "little Pig's" Chui Mian Show, while i bought Kenny G's At last... The Duets Album. She had a 'few' more purchase than me, by buying some Hello Kitty items. We returned home after having dinner at the food court there.

I had to work on Saturday. The usual Saturday is actually a relatively quiet shift for us. Well, for reasons i can think of such as, that the public are happily shopping, and not making trouble, and that they would not want to call the police to spoil their day. Well. And we had a system of doing half-half shift. I was doing sentry first and patrol second. My colleague and i have a challenge to see who will be the least busiest. I would lose almost everytime. There was once, i took first half patrol and got only a case. He came back with none. I mean wow.... anyway, Saturday, he got 1 case, then change over to me. I got 5. See what i mean? Busy. I had an initial plan to leave station at 9pm, so to reach home in time to watch Cast Away 1030pm. I leave station only at about 11pm. Nontheless, i watched the show, and bath after that.

Finally, my favourite day, Sunday. There was a bit of complication then and there among the people who should be having an evaluation meeting. They got it over by postponing it. The meeting should be held during the afernoon after lunch. But some of them have to go distribute our invitaion card. Timing clash. So, most of us went to send Jay off, at the Airport. The starting part was alright, just the usual, chatting and having photographs taken, hanging around, asking each other if any help was needed. The more emotional part came in when Jay and his Mother was about to walk into the departure gate. A lot of the girls cried, and no, not Hao Jie. Can you feel the pepper tonight... Well, to reveal to y'all, the emotional high for me was the point when he walked past and out of sight, being blocked by the wall, the point when i cannot get to see his silhouette. The dinner that night was not very good, simply we went to the wrong place to eat. The staff canteen of the Airport. Quite expensive and not that delicious.

Monday, yesterday. i basically lazed around the day time, resting. In the evening, We meet up at the coffee beside video ez for dinner. HanWei, Jeannie, her sister, Minhui, Daryl, Esther, HaoJie, me. Darly was the latest. We had about 50dollars of food. Then we proceeded to Esther's place for the 'usual' Monday night movie. Initially, Monster-in-law was being played, then i voiced out 'coach carter' then simultanously people said that they felt that Coach Carter would be better, so we switched. It was a terrific show, check out the comments on LCCSF's blog. Then MinHui and i walked to check out the BBQ pits. There was a group BBQing there. So i enquired on how to book the place. At first a girl replied that we can book via her dad, and gave us a number. later we found out that the number is the RC's number.

Today, i went out at about 10am to Hougang Gymnasium. Wow, there are loads of people, a lot of JC students. i thought that there wil lbe very little people being a weekday, but i was wrong. I was at a lost as i do not have a programme to follow. Then after that i went to have a swim next door, at the Hougang Swimming Complex. 15 laps, and i hav a 45minutes tan there. I felt so good, but the swimming trunk imprints were ugly, Yhew!

(",)

I realised that i can type a one month entry and a 4 days entry to the same length. Haha. well...

The Final day to keep my promise

Okay, let me finish up whatever that was left of the month. (refer to the previous 2 entries)

After the night shift, i was on course again. It was like going to be another week without work. That made me missed 2 weeks of exercises, because the free days are irregular. I was attending the Stress Management course at IPAM Civil Service College. Together was Lester and Ivan from my NPCO 1 squad. Actually i also met Mr Donnell Koh's colleague, a Lab Tech there. On the first day, 1st December, which was my Inservice day. I hearsd that the other colleagues are building snadcastles at East Coast Park, that would be till 7pm, while the course is office hours. Di d i mentioned that i went to the wrong building at Buona Vista? When i step into the door of the correct place, the instrctor just called out me name. Accurate.



Well, the amazing thing is hat i was able to meet up with old friends. My group had finished our lunch at Tanjong Pagar Market and was returning back to the college, when i thought i saw someone i knew. She was wearing black office wear, walking towards my direction. I stared hard at her, but i thought that she did not noticed me because i read from some newspaper saying that if one look long enough at someone, that someone would feel that he/she is being watched, so i did not gave much thought, i merely sent her a sms message after she walked past me. There was no reply.

After the course, i was trying to get friends out at a last minute attempt via sms. I was waiting at the MRT station. While i was waiting for replies, a young lady approached me, initially identifying herself as a financial advisor promoting insurance policies. After much talk and questioning, she found out that I was not her target group of customers, so she changed her topic, and asked me:"where do you go on Sundays?" I replied her:"Sundays, i go to church." She was initially stunned, but later she told me that she was actually thinking of inviting me to church. She had also informed me that there was a programme at Church of Our Savior on the very next day. I was so gald that there are "baby Christians" who are so passionate about the Great Commision even though she is a "baby". Well, Miracles of the Almighty God, since then till eternity. Next i went to Bugis alone, to do some window shopping.

At Bugis MRT station, i met Nurul from the first 3 months MJC term. She was as excited as i was, but she was going to work, so we did not chat much. Next up the elevator, i met Serene, my colleague from another team. Talking about coincidences. Actually my trip there was to take a look at various casual type of blazer available. I did not see much. I was getting bored thus, i thought of the incident that happened earlier on. I then calld up the friend that supposed i hav met. Michelle. When i called her, she was busy learning driving, so i asked her one question:"were you at Tanjong Pagar just now?" Then she, surprisingly:"oh so that was really you!" She put down the phone shotly as she has got to continue her lesson.

I went home after i had dinner at BK. At around 11something Michelle called up and we did some catching up, mentioned the friends back then while she was still in MJC, about how we are doing now. Then agreed to meet up for breakfast.

2nd December. Breakfast as agreed. We had it at a Muslim restaurant near Tanjong Pagar. She has not changed a lot, but grew prettier, removed her braces, finally get to see her in another outfit other than school uniform. I had only wanted iced coffe, but she insisted sharing one of the kueh with me. Well, how can you reject a lady like that?

The course ended stree free, and i was going the Church of Our Savior with Esther and Haojie, but Esther could not make it, only Haojie went with me. I met up Michelle again as she was on her way home, it was her last day of internship.

The worship service at the church was loud and powerful , but somehow i felt (MY PERSONAL FELINGS) that i was not as "touched" as when i was in my own church, maybe it was the environment.

I Lost my EZ-link and Haojie lost his shoe together with the shoe bag during the duration of the Badminton game on Saturday 3rd. I went out with Russell, a long lost Russell, to Orcahrd road. the place was crowded, so we had to settle our meal at a Food Court at Scot s.c. Then after took a walk along Orcahrd Road. Nice meeting you bud!

Later on today(finally today's here) , we'll be having a dinner at Sakura Tampines with our Dear Jay, cause he is returnign back to Hokg Kong. We'll miss you. I got a irritated shock when my boss called me p and told me i got extra duty tonight. But it was a misunderstanding after all. Phew yeah.

Had i mentioned everything? I thought so.

Continued...

The Big day was here. Sunday 27th November was here. Revivre. Our dear Mr Raymond. The Thunder God. The time and effort spent on the last 5 weeks was has not gone down the drain. The decorations, the rehearsals, the leaflets, the manpower, all has been put to good use. Used to glorify God's name! Althought i had not take any photographs on that day, we actually had a video taken, of course it was not by me. the turn out that day was over expectation, a total of about 50+ people. Praise the Lord, for we are faithful. Seeing so many people, no douth is a happy scene. The performance was really a powerful one. It was enhanced with Raymond's life story which was pumped up with a lot of impact. Some of us even bought his autographed CD and took some pictures with him.

Well the next day, as mentioned, i went to watch the Harry Potter movie with my SFers. At Golden Village Marina again. Always the same place.

For the past month or so

For the past month or so, the happenings can be sumarised briefly as follows. I continue to update, haha, so as not to disappoint myself.

Starting with Sunday, 13th November. I was on morning shift that day, while i was getting ready to perform my duty; I bent down to adjust the seat, just then, something flashed a beam of light, across the right side of my face, there goes the button off the right shoulder of my uniform where the ampulet is. Then, I went looking for help, forst from my counter officer. She sugested using safetly pin, but she did not have any, so i went to seek for the others. Fortunately the previous shift's officer always carry safety pins and he too is using safety pin for the uniform on his back. Another same shift officer also had the pins, but since I took his, I then did not take hers. The final step is to get the safety pin onto the uniform. Initially, i did it very "uglyly". Upon seeing that, the counter officer also could not stand the sight of it, she then offered to help me. Sigh. One small button, yet it had caused such a huge fuss.



Can you see the shaft of the safety pin at right side of the button?

Next on the 17&18, it was the last tour of one of our beloved officer, the one who did NDP NE show duty with me, the one whom i had known about the first insight of my team from.



I was doing my day shift with him. Initially he was the driver, then somehow i took over as the driver, and poor him, he had to do all the report, all the writing instead of me, haha. He was saying :"what the world is coming to, a NS guy bullying a regular" haha, of course, he meant that to be a joke. I will always remember you as my mentor, the person who let me have knowledge of what is in store for me in my a year or so.

IDC, Intermediate Developmental Course. Indirectly, it is a promotion course. I got to meet up with a lot of my Squad 54 and my NPCO 1 squadmated. The get together is a great feeling. Having seeing so many of my friends who went through months in the same room, sleeping on the bed next to each other, the feeling is simply terrific. So much to catch up, so many topic to share with. Especially during the lunch and dinner when i really get to understand my friends in the same station as i am. Louis and SK. We had dinner together at Chomp Chomp(serangoon gardens) I had a churning stomach after finishing my serving of spicy stingray. Monday (28) was the last day. SK and i went to watch Harry Potter at Marina with my SF friends! Great time, really.
