Kind of Wierd...

Hi all... It has been sometime since i've last blog. I'm just so busy with my work. The moment i step into the office, so many things to do, follow up and confirmation of stuffs.

This week i've good news and bad news... Good news is, I heard from my colleagues that my ranking going to be above average this year. Thanks to my Superior who fight for my ranking. If next year nothing goes wrong, I shold get my upgrade to Lieutenant 2.

Bad news is, my Superior is going to change. From what i heard about him, he is super demanding and his standards are hard to meet! Im quite worried here because i'm still condsidered new to the job and my upperstudy, CQ, clerk, storeman, admin spec all going to leave or ORD soon... I still got many questions to ask and many things to learn... The feeling is like i've just commission and assume command as a platoon commander in the unit. Lost... blurr...

Today i took a 1/2 day leave to sort out some problems. Tired as well....

For the past 6 years of single life, its kinda wierd that one short there are 2 ladies who fall for me. But there is the 3rd...whom i wanted to go after. So many things wanted to tell her, so many things wanted to sort out together with her. Its even more wierd to blog it down here. Not my style at all....

Let nature take its course... Maybe im not the one? :)

Out to you all!!!

Home Sweet Home!!

Finally! Im home! I took many pictures during my trainning and R&R at Kaoxiong/Taipei. Below are the following pictures to share with you guys!

I brought my clerk out for a short 5km run and we climb up this mountain call "Gui Shan" (turtle mountain) Where i am is the peak of the mountain! It overlooks the whole river. The wind there is so strong that it could blow u off anytime!

This is my camp canteen. Made friends with the canteen owner, ah leong and ah bing. They are nice people who even brought me out for dinner during my R&R stay at Kaoxiong. There is this instant noodle brand called "Yi Du Zhan". This instant noodle is super good! Never ate such a nice instant noodle before! I even bought a carton home!

From left to right: My boss (LTC Ng Hee Teck), Assistant Sergeant Major (MSG Rickey Foo), Myself and CQ (1SG Desmond Kee). Look at what we are holding! haa. It is believed that woman who touch this prick will give them good luck and they will bear sons for their family... Well, i personally dun care about all these. as long as its my child, i will love them! I took this picture because its damn cute and funny! Our trainees were laughing at us when we took this!

This picture was taken at Kenting. Behind are my storeman and clerk. We really had a wonderful nights out that day! Nothing much at Kenting area... just when for drinks and buy roadside store food.

Well, that is all for my taiwan trip. There are many more pictures which im not allowed to post on the internet. Whoever wants to view it i can share with you guys! I will be posting my movie reviews III on my blog soon. stay tune!

I'm Coming Home!

Finally! Ladies and Gentleman...IM COMING HOME!!!!

Today i did the last cohort meeting and after my briefing to my cadets on the R&R and Flight details, i will be at Kao Xiong and Taipei, enjoying my R&R!!

Super overspend again as usual... Got to cut cost already... Or else when back in Singapore, my car drinks water...

Phew....overseas exercise over... I managed it through with the help of my colleagues and Superiors. Thank you for all the advice and guidance! I really appreciate it all. Thank god for giving me a clear mind to work for the past 2 weeks. Amen!

Not an easy task at all guys... My feelings now is liked taking off my fieldpack after 30km route march! (The guys will know what i mean) Felt damn "light and relieved"

I received emails from a friend of mine. She sent me some songs which she mention,"these songs best describe my feelings now.." When i heard that all the songs she sent, true enough, it reminds me of some past... In fact, i particularly love this song "If you don't know me by now"

Excellent lyrics, excellent music plus super smoothing to the ears....

Guys, download that song. Those people of my age will know this song. Sure to hear before! This is a late 80s or early 90s song... I listen to it 4 times straight!

Thank you Jacelyn for sending me this "long lost" song. Next time we meet, this song will be in my ipod and will be played in my car ya? All 4 songs! Its a promise!

Well, i will not be blogging for the next 4 days because its kind of difficult to find internet cafe in Taiwan. Especially now Taiwan is so chaotic.

Good day to all my friends out there. Wait for me... I'M COMING HOME!!!!

Foot Massage

Days in Taiwan pass by very quickly because of the high training tempo here. Trainees are already going into their final phase of training here in ROC. After that is post admin follow by Nights Out at Kenting and R&R at Kao Xiong/Taipei.

Nothing much to blog today as i'm kind of in a "brain-locked" mode. But today, one of my Warrent Officer did foot massage for me! He learn this skills for his wife's illness, as he heard foot massage can help in blood flow, curing certain sickness and tiredness, etc... I'm really impress with him and his attitude towards work and family. Everytime after each conversation with him, i can learn many good values liked how to be happy, making oneself relax and seeing things from a different angle in life. Whenever he see me so stressful during work, he will just ask me, "What happen ar Sir? Can i help?"

Guys, trust me... Sometimes when you give comments liked that will make a person's day.

His conclusion on me after my foot massage was,"Sir, you have not enough sleep. You need to chew your food slowly and allow your body to digest as your intestine is weak. Your shoulder and shoulder blade is too tight as well. Must take care if not old age will have problems... There is acute pain in the right part of your body as well..."

Yes, i have not enough rest. This everybody knows. I had to eat fast because i am always rushing for time in order to meet timings. But the shoulder blade and the right side of my body part, I'm shocked! Because my shoulders are always hurting. My right foot got some kind of an "extra bone" growing out causing me pain during my runs and my right arm got nerve problems! I did not tell him at all!

I began to tease him with my next question,"Encik, are my balls working?!!" hahahaa

We laugh liked nobody business. My superiors also laugh... From that day onwards, all my colleagues began to ask him for foot massage! haha...

Alright, thats all for today folks...Stay tune!

More or Less Settle Down!

At last! After 6-7 days of chaos due to the handing and taking over of stores, plus the high training tempo running con-currently, all the training programe, indents and cohort meetings has more or less stablize. Got last 3 things to worry about.

1) Indents for Ex Homerun and Finale
2) Cohort End of Frame reports & Post Admin
3) R&R (Allocations of Buses and 5 differrent Hotels plus planning of DO, Medics and Specialists Duties)

Will be going for a 5km short run with my colleagues today. After which i will join my Wing for Nights Off to Kenting. I will be back on the 19th Oct.

To my movie kar kees:

Wait for me to come back! Don't watch all the movies 1st! Or else you all follow me go watch again! haha

To Ah Beng:

Sorry bro, i will not be back for your birthday as i'm still in Taiwan. Buy you Tai Yang Bing for your birthday! haha Happy birthday to you man! All the best in whatever you do!

To Jacelyn:

I will meet you when i'm back k...Must call me!

Alright guys, thats all for today. I'll see you in...erm.... 12 days time! haha...My flight back is on the 19th Oct, 1am! After which i will be on leave for the next 4 days (hopefully i don't need to go back camp on these 4 days lah). CALL ME CALL ME! Freaking bored liao!

Out to you all!

5th day In HCC

At last...got sometime to blog. Its already 11.20pm. Here, i got to plead the Taiwan Perm Staff to let me use the internet as they closed at 11pm! My intentions of going into the internet everynight? Waiting for a friend to reply my mails...

Ok...Got another 15mins before the computer auto shut off.

Just 5 days, so many things to do. I just told my colleagues, "i felt that i had been working for 1 week or even more already..." They gave me a wierd look. I don't know why i got abit fed up when i saw their expression.. i told them,"I can do your job! But not anybody can do mine! Don't believe? I propse to my Superior for a change in appointment..." They "pacify" me alittle... haha

Got lots of mood swing as everything is going so fast and indents can only be done 1 day in advance. I was so busy until i forget what day is it today.. I got to even go to the Airport to receive my General who is visiting our training frame in Taiwan!

My colleague was telling me that my chinese assent sounds like a freaking Taiwanese now! haha! What to do...got to collabrate with Taiwan "Ma-Lau" Drivers as well! hehe

Well, i'll be back on the 19th OCT. Those who know me can judge if i did change in my Chinese Pronouncation. Haa...

Guys, see you when I'm back! Wait for me!

Taiwan 06

Hey guys! I've arrived safely to Taiwan. Life is damn tough as a TCO here... Meetings...Co-ordinating... Countless of paperwork plus all the indents... Driving me crazy...

At first I'm really worried as I'm appointed as the TCO of my Wing. Somemore overseas exercise! My upperstudy, Mike cannot come with us to Taiwan because he needs to clear his IPPT.. Worried for him... Wish him all the best even though I'm here.

Well, slowly, I'm getting used to all the scrambling and indents. The first 2 days is really chaotic! I'm really trying very hard not to call Mike as i agree with what he told me..

"Roger... sometimes you just got to learn the hard way..."

Getting pissed off as well because as i'm typing here, i only left 7mins to blog down my thoughts! I got to pay 10NT for 30mins of internet usage! Damn it! Hate being restricted!

Got to know a lady friend, J, who is in France now. My message to you:

Yes, i know what you are going through right now as i've been through all these before. But certain thing got to let go means you got to. I know its difficult. There are only friends to help and be there for you but ultimately, its you who need to pick yourself up. Your ex is not going to pity you! So, proved to him you can do without him! All the best! Call me when you had the time ya?

1min left on my internet timer... got to co-ordinate the daily cohort meeting soon. Well guys, again, wish me luck!
