Today is a rather tiring day for me. Just now we had touch rugby and soccer for the Healthy Lifestyle. Played from 5 to nearly 7pm. The soccer is fun even though we eventually lost the game. After that move on to Touch rugby. We have to pass around the rugby ball before the opponent touches us. As many of us are not familiar with the game, we ended up whenever we see someone got the ball, we will all chase after the ball. Haha quite stupid and silly i would say. Until the end of the game, then we start to have some action. Think we need to practise more in order to enjoy the game. Anyway, LO just now mention we wil be having a Lancer Cup this august. Games like basketball, touch rugby, soccer and golf will be available for all to participate. Kinda excited about it and hope that JAC will win cos we have not been winning for quite a while.

Anyway, yesterday we had our monthly cohesion at JPMC. Went there for swimming(though i can't swim O_o), Sauna and Jacuzzi. Ended up playing captain ball at the pool. Enjoyed the game alot. Am glad that the new batch is very sporty and willing to participate, thus we all enjoyed alot.Took some photo there, will try to post it up if some kind hearted one is willing to teaching me how... hahaha Think thats all for now. Oh by the way, Kelvin's Understudy has arrived yesterday. His name is Benjamin, and guess what? He is a Christian too!!! Hooray!!! Praise and thank God for sending another brother here to fellowship together with us!! Thats all folks! :)

Yesterday, we had a BBQ session for the Aries Club in JAC to celebrate the birthday for the personnel born in themonth of June and at the same time for those who is going to EOT soon. This is the 1st time that we manage to get the whole Aries Club to participate in this event. As in the past, individual wll go out with their own click, there isn't really a single session where by all the Aries Club members are present. The mood was very relaxing, think everyone enjoyed alot especially the food. Wanna say a Big Thank You to Hafis & Jun Nian for preparing the food for all of us. Also wanna thank mr Mohan for sponsoring the drinks and Dy for sponsoring $100 and T-loaning us his BBQ Pit. The food is delicious but we couldn't manage to finish it all, its quite a waste i would say. Took some pictures during the event, think will get it upload at a later date.

Just now was talking to Jun Hong via MSN. Heard from him that his father just passed away last monday. At that point, I was really stunned, dunno what to say to him. Now he is the only male left in his family with his sisters. I'm glad that he is willing to open up and speak to me about it even though I can do nothing. Thank God he didn't extend his stay in JAC or else he won't be able to see his father one last time. Please pray for him and his family as they go through this difficult times. Pray for strength and wisdom to be upon the family especially on Jun Hong.

Talking about extending the stay in JAC, I'm still deciding whether to extend. Cos My tour will end on December 07. I've still got 6 more months before I ORD. Thus, I'm thinking of extending my stay till April next year, after which I will go back SG, clear leave and ORD. However, my worries is my mum, she seems upset when I told her my intentions. Please pray for me that I will make a decision that will please God and at the same time Honor my parents.

Just change a new blogskin for my blog, think its a lot more nicer than the previous one ba.. This few days quite relaxing sia.. nothing much to do just stay at the tank shed whole day to servcie the vehicle if not just stay in office to wait for the time to knock off. Kinda enjoy this kind of life style sia.... haha i know this sounds like," I'm starting to become lazier and lazier ler" but this is how the life is here.

Yesterday went for my fourth driving lesson. Not too bad, able to control well in the parking section but still not able to balance well for the stopping and moving off from the slope. Think I will take a few more lessons to make sure that I'm ready for the test. Cos dun want to waste my money on taking the test again. Then after the lesson, went out with Lim hong they all to Gadong 1 dollar market. Bought a lot of food, got nasi katok(many many packets!!), Chicken wings, Papa John etc... Also we help to celebrate our ''vehicle Man'', Zhi Yi's Birthday. Have quite a lot fo fun. Then sleep at 12.30am, almost overslept and late for work, thk God tht Zhiyi came to knock at my door and wake me up sia.

This saturday we will be organising a BBQ for the whole Aries Club to celebrate the birthdays of ppl in the mth of June and also the EOT personnel. Hope that everyone will have an enjoyable session with each other, even though I that day got Guard Duty, I will still make a trip to go donw one. Cos how can i miss out the fun and especially the FOOD!!! haha think thats it for now. Will update more when got time and please contine to keep me in your prayer ba!! God Bless!

Back again to update on my life. Its been 5 days since i came back to Brunei. Before I come back , manage to bring my mum and sis to eat sakae Sushi. Even though I don't like to eat sushi, I still join them cause my mum want to eat. After that, went to walk around in Chua Chu Kang Lot 1 before proceeding to meet up with Kang Ling,Aina and Zhong wei at Jurong East Mrt Station. However, in the end we still end up in Lot 1 eating Ajisen Ramen. The service there isn't very good, but we enjoy the session alot, chatting and laughing through out the session. After that, went to the K box next door for karaoke. Stayed there for about 3 hours before proceedin to the Mrt station to catch the last train back home.

During the journey back, we talk about what we want to do after we ORD. At that point, I really realised that we have slowly step into adulthood and my next phase of life will most probably be working life which I kind of feel sian. I thank the Lord for being so good to me by giving me a group of fun and loving friends which really care for one another. Think if without them, my life will be quite blank. Anyway, I'm glad that I managed to meet up with most of my friends in Singapore, especially the ladies before I return to Brunei for another 6 months.

Actually, I have the intention of extending my stay in Brunei for another 3 -4 months. When i return home, i convey my intention to my mum and she is rather sad upon hearing it. When I saw her expression, I also felt very guilty. When I shared this with my cell group mates, Ms Sherine told me this which really shaken my thoughts on extending my stay. She said that comapre the money and staying in Singapore if that few months of stay in Singapore can make my mum feel happy may be its worth not to extend. This make me start to have some serious thougth about it. Cos i'm very close to my mum, it really makes me guilty to see her so sad.
Thus please pray for me, pray that Iwill make a decision that pleases the Lord and will make my mum happy too.

Now trying to adjust to the life in Brunei again. While I'm staying here, will spend time to think about it and complete my driving here, now on lesson 3 already, a bit forget liao after going back for 2 weeks of leave. Keeping my finger cross for now and hope that i can pass the test. Think thats it for now, will update more when free.

P.S: I thinking of chging my blog backgrd, any suggestion? Also how to upload pics and music inot blog huh? can any kind hearted one please enlighten me, thks thks!!

Have been slacking at home for the past few days... doing nothing just watch TV... surf net/play online game... chat with friends on msn.. and the rest of the time?? sleeping and playing with my 1 yr plus nephew.... Quite boring I would say, it really make me feel lazy and useless sia, i really respect those who can spend the whole day doing nothing but sleeping and yet still can be so energetic sia....

Anyway, today went to town to meet with Zhong wei, shi yun they all for dinner. Before arrived, received sms from avril, aina and call from pei yung that they cannot come. was a bit sad when aina tell me she can't come. After that, avril sms me she also cannot come, even sad.... but still continue to go on to somerset to meet up with the rest. After that, pei yung called, she got work need to clear so cannot join us, even even sad....... :( In the end, only Shiyun, Yandan, Heling and Zhong Wei is there to join me for dinner. Anyway, I'm still glad that they could make it. Though we didn't have much topic to talk about, I'm still happy to see them doing good in their own areas. After that, we went for some walk walk in Taka. Saw that OP is having sales so went in to take a look and bought a shirt for myself. After that, accompanied the gals to Forever 21 in wisma. In the end, Zhong Wei and me waited outside for them while they shop cos not use to it in a shop which sell gal stuff unless I'm shopping with my GF then okay. After the shopping, we make our way to the mrt and took the train home. On the way home, He ling suddenly ask me how is Chris doing now? I also dunno, so make a call to him. He now doing some part time job and helping out as a volunteer in a temple in chinatown. He going to register to study ACCA. Glad for him that he has a goal to achieve. Its always good to have a goal to look forward to.

I personally feel that as we grow older each yr, we should continue to meet up with our friends be it poly, secondary or even NS friends. friendship play an important part of our life, thus i'm always glad whenever i can meet up with pei yung, pei yi, shiyun they all. Cos we can update each other on our life and even if we got little topic to talk about, still feel happy to see that they are doing well in their own areas.

The next few days will be exciting for me. Saturday meeting Jun Yue, Monkiki, Chief and the rest for Dim Sum at East Ocean @ Orchard shaw house. Sunday may be meeting pei yung, avril, aina for meal and also joshua they all at nicholas's house. Monday meeting with hajjar, then go kbox with shi yun, zhong wei, heling (anyone interested? Aina?Mui Fen?).Tuesday will be going out wiht my family to Sakae Sushi for lunch buffet, been feeling guilty for not bringing them out for lunch, so this wil be my treat to them ba, also to myself, hahaah... Then Wednesday off I go, flying back to Brunei in the afternoon.. Thats all for now, need to sleep liao. take care folks!!

Harlo, everyone!! I'm Back!! Finally, able to lie on my own bed, sleep until afternoon also can, no work, no number 4, no first parade at least for this 2 weeks la ahaha... Anyway, last friday went to the Pc show at Suntec City to hunt for a notebook to bring to Brunei. The place was really crowded, lotsa peoples, need to push our way thru. Theres a lot of good buy and jon, beng and me walk around the area to look for a suitable and yet affordable one for me. After walking for about an hour, finally decided to purchase notebook from Acer. After decided which to buy, we move on to help Jon to find the GPS navigation system stuff.. trying to locate the booth that his aunt say got sell the gadget but unable to locate it. After some walking, decided to go do some shopping before we purchase our IT Stuff cos it will be very troublesome to carry a notebook and walk around.

After some shopping, we proceed to purchase my notebook and Jon's GPS thingy. After that went for Cell Group. Didn't really touch on the material, just do some catch up with one another and basically share about my life in Brunei lor. After that, went to Upper Thomson for Dim Sum. Didn't really enjoy the meal, cos the dim sum is not really nice. After that headed back home with my notebook.

Saturday stayed at home the whole day, doing nothing but just slacking. Really like the feeling of doing nothing just stay at home, sleep, use net and watch tv. Sunday went to Church for service. people is still friendly as usual. After service, went all the way to changi airport for lunch. We have our lunch at Popeye. The fried chicken is not bad, just that its abit salty. After that sat at the place, chit chat abit. After that, we proceed on to the Cheesecake Cafe at Siglap. The ambience there is nice. I ordered the peach cheesecake and a pot of hot mango tea. Have a good chat with each other and we decided that this coming saturday we will have a BBQ session together , really looking forward to it.

Will be meeting up with the rest in the next few days. Can't wait to see them sia... Alright think thats all for now.
