WEEK 8

It’s already been a week since taking part in my third vertical marathon. This time round it’s the Temasek Tower, 53 storeys. But only after only this time then I seriously think to excel in it. Next time round, training, techniques, strategy, proper diet, etc. will be seriously looked at.

Time flies really fast this week. Have been “phianging” my class 3 practicals for the whole week. Taking 2 lessons each day after work. Phew… Super tired. But happy to say I’ve actually finished my syllabus in 10 lessons!! Save quite a lot of money!!

Nothing much to say, just wanted to blog before going away for course. Hope, things goes on smoothly.

It’s Casey’s and Zhirong’s big day today!! Their traditional marriage. Have fun and may you guys conquer the Silver marriage, Golden, Pearl, Diamond... !!

Behold!!

It’s been some time since I blogged. Everyday I spend lots of time sitting in front of the computers (office and home), reading blogs, news, WORKING on papers… and actually the most important of all, watching “A Date with Vampire 3”!! The show is ultra nice and addictive! Apart from all the actions, animations, all the PRETTY ladies, the show reflects on the relationships among friends, lovers, strangers..

In one way, I actually played many characters during this period of absence. I often bring myself into the characters, the situations. Trying to feel how they feel, trying to figure how they think, and trying to learn from their experiences. Go watch it!! For the pretty faces, for the actions, for the experiences!!

This passed month, my Mama has been chirpy. She’s so cute with all her unexpected comments. Just like to filter the things we say. The ones that she deems positive transmits into her, the negative just act blur. Haha.. Often comes up with her unexpected comments and phrases!!

Today, Clinton is just a perfect son. Went “yum cha” at Lei Garden with parents as always for Saturday lunch. Engaging in interactive conversations. My Mum just happily gives away “lai xi”. Well, it’s still CNY. There's this waitress' name that resembles her name.. occupied my mind for a moment..

Went shopping at Taka… Still do not understand ladies needs to shop so much. My dad and I was like standing at the side discussing on which rich tycoon just passed away, how they managed their business, how much do they get to spend each month, and Estee Lauder is being taken over because the boss over spent!! Hahha… Went to buy Japanese Cuisine’s ingredients, my mum starting her "2nd semester" soon! Went home, accompanied her watching videos. WAH!! Who wants Clint to be their son??? Hahaha.. Mummy not going to see Clint so often soon.. Going on course.. If only she’s still here.. It’s going to be perfect..

Course going to start in 8 days.. Yes, I’m counting. Current feeling? Just like the end is coming. Well, this is what we call getting out of our comfort zone. Which to me now is pretty normal and kind of gotten used to it, maybe because I do not have a choice over it? Just like when I was enlisted, when I report to OCS, going to Air wing, attaching to unit…

BUT, what is most important!! It’s another beginning. This means I’m going to meet new people (course mates & instructors), new things, new “tekan” sessions, new environment (air force school), new schedules (no more stay outs), new… because of all these new encounters, it keeps me guessing and imagining. It’s normal right? This phase is going to be my life for the next 7 months! Yes, quite excited about course starting though it definitely at some point gona suck.

Behold!!

Ironic, Ironic, Ironic…

Wah!! Today is totally amazing!! I actually bumped into so many people that I know from all over the shop.

Went to several place for work…. SAFTI, MINDEF, CMPB, PLAB.. and bumped into at least 9 personnels. The most amazing is that I bumped into this ex secondary schoolmate- Meiyuan. Earlier in the morning I just got into communication with her through another ex schoolmate which is a colleague in office with me. Just the very night, I bumped into her!! Don’t you all think it s just so amazing… Took the same bus and had some catching up. She’s going to UQ soon…

This bumping into people thingy has made it so unbelievable to my colleagues that they suggested me to break bond and set up business since networking so good. They want to work for me!! Probably in the future…

More fate!! My parents went some boutique in Taka and met my 2nd Anut’s Sis… Haha.. While visiting my Uncle, met my mum years ago colleague… can’t believe it…

Anyway, that evening met Calista for some catching up too. It’s been like 1 year we last met. Watched Elektra and had some cakes at BakerzInn, (where I met Arvin). Poor girl.. She’s like so stressed up, can feel it the first sight of her. To all out there: you guys better find ways to de- stress, happiness is very important to healthy growth like to Clinton!! Haha..

Take care all~

P.S: Commander actually praised me for the paper I did!! Was over the moon, I volunteered for another paper, work!! Yeah!!
