even as the days pass by.
things around taking place at such a fast rate.
my head is spinning.
i just wanna go away.
to somewhere far away.
with nothing on my mind.
well the truth is i m just days away from it.
must hang in there.

the images of the week that have came and gone.
heartwarming reunions.
intriguing moments.
life is great when u're able to do the things that u have interest in.
and being able to stay out late for the weekend.
:)
oh well.still.nothing beats a good holiday

for the past three weeks.
ever since i've started working.
life has took on a 180 degrees turn
suddenly everything seems to be so fast paced.
found myself constantly having to reply endless sms-es..calls.
whatsoever
or has the past one year ten month converted me into a non-civilian?
i really wonder
perhaps life as it is now..is really very different..and at times demanding.
both mentally and physically.
i need a good long break..
time to relax and breathe in the fresh air.
slowly sensing that the busyness of life has started to take a toll on my mind
became increasing absent-minded.
gosh
frustrated..at my own self.
oh boy

God please come and guide the footsteps of my path
give me strength
and enlarge my capacity.
"who's hands are these..holding my trapeze.."

i have no idea what possessed me to delete my whole "my documents"
i am in total state of lost now.

ahhh!
oh well.better go sleep.

there are certain things and people in life that once you missed them
you would never be able to get them
just like the way he or she or it has been..
life's like that.
its time to accept the truth, learnt from the mistake and move on.

really in a real and desperate need for cash
gotta blame it on that fire that burnt up all my valuables.
ahh.

ok forgotten to upload the pictures.
so here they are.
delicious bimbimbap from harbourfront foodcourt
yummy!

ok the rest of the pictures are all taken at my distant uncle's wedding on sat nite.
been years since i've attended a wedding.
was really looking forward to it:)

grandma:)

My cousins!...the pic's a little blurry though

my mom n aunts.
can't believe they started the photo taking craze
hahaha




my youngest bro :)
my family
love every single one of them.

PS: i hereby declare that WC Lim is the official chief editor of my blog.

the first week of work..

a learning experience

the first time u have to live off what u're actually work hard to earn

finally understood the pinch of spending excessively.

it's time to repent!

haha

thankfully the colleagues are a friendly bunch

always warm n nice

guiding me in picking up the skills that i would require in my job

despite having to stare at the com screen for majority of the time..

work is pretty interesting..:)

i need a new phone v badly...the random "emergency call only"

is really AHHH! a SOS call for a blessing.

"life is full of uncertainties, so don't fix your mind on what i should do tomorrow, next week or the next month, etc. but instead let things flow, and seek after His directions."

guess this song really relates to me now.
failed my first TP! :(
although i wanted to come home and start shooting off at the lousy, ill mannered tester.
realized there isn't much of a point.
oh well.just have to book the next test date.
i really don't understand why he had to fail me for not giving way to a car which was still a distance away.
ahhh!perhaps i am just out of his maximum quota.
oh well.
what a waste of cash.

darn..actually typed out a whole entry on my ord day in order to commerate it.
but after inserting some pictures, all the text went missing..ahh!
ok..i'll try to recollect what i've wrote..in this entry.
anyway today's day 2 as a civilian..

the top five things that i miss the most
1) wake up at 8am? (if i want to)
2) use my camera phone
3) listen to my mp3 anytime of the day
4) surfing the net everyday
5) cut my hair when its really getting in the way.

there's really so many more things i can mention.the list would just drag on endlessly
haha.
but looking back..through the times of pain and joy.
from the first day that i dragged my bag to camp, when everyone's new
till the time we were posted out.and now we've become so closely bonded
i really can't imagine how the past 1 year 6 months would be like without the friends around.
would definitely miss how everyday we would wake each other up.
how we would run to beat the queue to shower.
the routine night's off to causeway point.the macs deliveries
the nicknames we have for one another.
not including the names i've had.hah
blah blah blah..

pray that we would all stay in contact for a long long time.
oh yes.goodbye to beloved camou cream for now.

oh well.this is a random entry.
i've gotten a job..at ntu!:)
praise God!
super near home..starting next monday.
looking forward to a positive working experience.

driving test is on tomorrow early morning
guys and girls please stay away from the bukit batok area.
hahah..i must try my best to pass.
can't afford for a re-test..

and lastly.still can't decide which phone should i get.
already more or less decided that i would want a nokia e-series phone.
but the big n bulky, good batt life e71


or the smaller, prettier but weaker batt life e66?

thank you God for your constant provision.
for being faithful even though i might be faithless at times.
"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad"

I AM GOING TO LEAVE HOUSE AND COLLECT MY IDENTIFICATION OF FREEDOM.
THE PINK IC..AHHHH!

it has been four days into my supposedly 'rest week'
hmm
but somehow..i seem to be doing everything else but resting
booking in and out of camp.to do spring cleaning.
well at least for the last time :)
rushing to and fro raffles place and tanjong pagar for interviews
is it really that tough to get a job that pays seven bucks per hour?
perhaps i've been brainwashed by how much the Australians are getting paid
haha
am i suppose to have done more holiday jobs in the past?..since the employers are all looking out for work experience.
somehow i've transited from waiting for things to come, to actually actively doing things such that something will happen..
guess that is something worthy of a round of applause.
alright.
trusting that by the end of this week.the perfect job is coming my way:)
ok time to sleep
hotdogs and nuggets for dinner tomorrow.
haha

FINALLY back home.
back to the place where I feel the warmth and safety
now that a couple of days had passed by...
the terrible truth has started to sink in deeper n deeper
till the extent that I feel the pain stronger than when I was in aussie.

it's really different having to lose one of your belonging and to lose all of them in one go.
sigh.i would already be real frantic to lose like my wallet or something
don't understand why all these had to take place.at this specifc period of time.
I am just reminded that God has His plan in mind.
so we should not be worried about what we eat, drink or wear.
no matter how much i've planned for the time now before i left for aussie.
reality has added a cruel twist to my ending.

ok need to sidetrack
everyone who's reading this now.
pls do me a favour by msging me your name n number.
considering my camera phone n sim card are both gone as well.
thanks alot!
my mind's been in a blank..and even when things are supposedly good, i can't bring myself to smile.
ahhhh!frustrated.
why are certain chain of events meant to occur in this sequence.how can people change so quickly?
i slipped n fell.

ok if i were to go on.this would be the most depressing entry of the year already.
its time to move on.
step 1: find a job
step 2: plan my budget
step 3:enjoy civilian life!
shall elaborate what's considered as civilian life in some other entry.haha
things seem bleak now.and i know i might have to live from my hand to mouth for the time being
God reminds me of his goodness n mercy
at least me n my pals are all still alive n kicking!:)
we can still work things out.

"The road is long, The valley's deep.The ocean's wide in front of me.But God saved the day!"

less than two weeks away from aussie
having mixed emotions right now..
wanting to go and come back ord..
while not exactly looking forward to the life there
ok i am bringing tonnes of facial care products and wet tissues oops
hmm..guess with so many overseas trips' experience..
this shouldn't be anything that new well with the companion of fellow pals..
time would definitely pass faster talking about ord
guess its probably time to start looking out for a temp job
still not sure what would be my ideal job
ok other than being an intern at a architecture firm(which is almost impossible) given my current qualifications retail?..admin clerk? call centre?
perhaps its good to start sending out resumes n requests even before i leave
life after 11.11.08 is way too exciting n exhilarating
woo hoo:)
ok recently i am just stuck watching ming zhong zhu ding.
its kinda trashy at some parts but the plot's the best i've seen for a taiwan drama
hilarious!


love this song from mama mia:)
Artist: Andrew Langtree
Song: Lay All Your Love on Me

SKY
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every man that I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
Has overturned
I beg of you

SOPHIE
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear

SKY
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

BOYS
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

SOPHIE
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce

SKY
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

SOPHIE
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned
Has overturned
What can I do?

SKY / PEPPER / EDDIE / BOYS
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

GIRLS
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

changing appetite at marina square
grilled cajun chicken with cheese, with tortilla wraps (closely resembled indian prata)
in which jt ended up eating the wraps by dipping it into sour cream sauce just like how he eats prata
hahaha
happy NS-ing..in tekong..even as i am blogging now..
can't wait to see your new haircut.
oops
carnival on sat was lots of fun n excitement..with all the small kids queuing to take their shot at the make shift goal post
sad to say, the girls seemed to kick better than the guys
surprising..
ok..just two more weeks left in camp!
:)
all smiles.love

i can't seem to stop going back to apple care centre!
after the ipod problem.the earphones died as well
oh well.haha
at least there's always replacement.
have a feeling this won't be my last trip there.
haha

felt kinda discouraged and messed up this whole week in camp
life is like a ride on the roller coaster..at times we might be zooming up to the peak..feeling the refreshing wind blowing across your face
admiring the view..but before u know it..
you'll be on your way down..down down...
can't comprehend why some people's words and actions can be so insensitive.

cell meeting encouraged me alot..the people around are just like family to me.
their company just cheers me up:)
anyway.before i forget.
happy birthday becca!..
you're OLD-er now..
ahha..
gonna have a super packed weekend..
and i am already looking forward to teach the kids tml.
ok time to sleep.

bought the book titled "the kite runner" after hearing friend's recommendation
was seriously taken aback on how well written the book is..
it really opened my eyes to how the afghans went through endless struggles for peace but end up seeing their own country ruined by locals that were thirsty for power,and intolerant of ethnic differences
what an irony life can be..

ran for the army half marathon early this morning..was dreading it first.
but thank God i completed the 21km with jonathan
with minimal stops at waterpoints and the toilets
:)
my both legs been cramping like mad ever since.ahhh
ok..random..but we ran past the sail today..
always impressed by its design..on how the building is able to be so stretched out
like a big sail
but yet still sound structurally.

ok i can't wait to experience for myself how school will be like next yr.
got reminded again on how important it is for me to hear from God daily
need to be more disciplined in my daily quiet time!
if not i'll have to treat someone a donut.haha

it has been a not too delightful week..
just have no idea why i can't seem to be light-hearted and cheerful
small issues seem to further entangle the already frustrated mind
perhaps i've just been unable to lift up the burden and worries to God
what can't be worse than to feel a little taken for granted by the friends closest to your heart
i need to wake myself up from this unpleasant mood!

ok negative stuff aside.
finally went back to teach the kids after missing out all the saturdays for ndp
felt a little lost at the start, haha probably stage fright or something
ended up stuttering..but soon enough.managed to get into the mood
hah.the kids are still as mischievous as before.
but next sat i am going to be stuck in camp!
so much so for reunion with the kids

life can be just so short and fragile.
not going to spend that precious time being down and out!
cheers for myself:)
i am disturbed by how "fu man ren jian" soundtrack,
if u remember that super ultra ancient old ch8 drama,
can make me a tad happier.haha

last then two weeks of buying the ipod classic
i headed to the repair centre..feeling all fed up
and perhaps ready to give the apple service centre a piece of my mind
thankfully..none of that have to happen
the lady agreed to replace my ipod with a new one..:)
without even hearing me explain finish
haha...
now i realize why people can't get enough of apple products
the tour next year seems to be meeting endless obstacles
and having divided ideas ain't making things simpler
ok..praying that God will open a way out
forced my youngest bro to go swim one lap at the olympic size pool today
guess that is his biggest achievement for the month..haha

happy national day!
i am going to spend the whole day waiting at the open space outside millenia walk
and getting stuffed with kfc,army food,soya bean,milo
and hopefully-pizza hut
haha
long break next week.
woo hoo:)
