" A place of My Own....... "

A Journey of uncertainties.....

Hi all, update once again. Last sunday is really a tiring yet exciting experience for me. As last week, we rented two cars to go jalan jalan. Its my 1st time driving an auto car after I gotten my license 2 months ago. We rented a Toyota Vios and Mitsubishi Magna for the 11 of us. I went off to fetch camillus using the toyota vios before meeting the rest at the empire for dim sum buffet. Kinda scare at fast, cos its the first time that i'm driving on the road without an instructor, but thank God that Razzil is my Veh Comd so still okay. After picking Cam up, we proceed to the empire for our buffet. The buffet is rather good I would say but not as good as the time i first go. After we have our meal, we drove off to the Kiulap Mall for movie. We went to watch Dead silence. Think its quite a scary movie as most of the time Joshua & I keep covering our face, hahhaa.. overall I think the movie ending is good, quite unexpected I would say. When we finished watching the movie, We realise that its raining heavily outside. Thus, we decided to go shop around the mall and wait for the rain to stop.

Afte about 45mins, the rain finally subsided. We decided to proceed to Jerudong Park to see if we can play the Go kart there. In the end, we ended up playing bumper car. Its really fun and I haven't been playing it for at least 10 yrs I would say.After that we went off to Gadong to have our dinner. After eating our meal, we decided to drive back to camp even though its only 8.30pm. While we are on our way back, we suddenly decide t oturn back and drive straight to Jerudong Park for the Go Kart. Manage to play it for a while before heading back to camp at 10.30pm. Its really a tiring day for me. However, I hope that there will be more to come :)

Hi Everyone, its been a while since i last update my blog. How is everyone doing? Guess should be doing fine ba... Anyway, has beep a bit happening for the past few weeks. Last last saturday, went for hiking with my colleagues here. We went to the Canopy walk at Temburong. Woke up early in the morning, ate our breakfast then move out to the ferry terminal to take the fast craft to Temburong.

The Ferry ticket

The Hikers of the trip

The Fast Craft to Temburong

After reaching Temburong, we boarded the vehicle that is waiting for us and fetch us to the river where we need to take a traditional temuai up Sg. Temburong to reach the Canopy Walk.

The Belalong Nature Reserve

After reaching the Nature Reserve, we registered our names and began climbing the route. We walk pass the suspension Bridge and what awaits us is flights and flights of stairs.After climbing for about 30 to 45minutes we finally reached the treetop bridge. The bridge pillar is actually make up of scaffolding thus, its rather scary when the thing shakes when we move our way up.

heres some of our picture took on the top:

After the climbing, we were inform that we are uable to go to the water fall because of the dry season. Pretty disappointed at that point. in the end, we walk acrossed the stream and have a little rest before proceeding back to our camp and thats mark the end for our trip.

Went running at 7.30am in the morning just now. My officer suppose to join me for the run as he is the one who invite me to run with him, but he needs to go racky for the route for the jog with the minister. Thus, in the end left me, lim hong and Brandon. Went for a jog around the camp, run for 3 round, clock about 4.2km. Quite relaxing to run in the morning when the weather is cooling. After running, went for breakfast, which is roti prata. Not too bad, just that the curry is a bit sour. Well, cannot compare with singapore la.. haha.. in total, this week I've clock 15 km for the 200km run. Will continue to run till our department become the first to complete it!! hahaa..

Anyway, this few days I've been thinking.. about what to do when I ORD which is about 10 months away... time really flies man... I really dread to enter into working life.... thinking of taking up ACCA or go SIM to take up the bachelor degree offered by RMIT. Now the question is, am I going to take the course as part time/ full time? really kind of difficult to choose sia... May be its because I'm a person who can be really lazy at times that I just want to lay back and hope that things will happens (Which will not in many cases). Do pray for me that God will give me wisdom to understand His plans for me.

Hasn't been hearing from the click about the Gliderz Youth Ministry in Glory Joy. I've been thinking of being involved in the ministry when i get back to Singapore. I hope that the ministry is doing well and expanding bit by bit to the people around us. Please pray for the committee members of the ministry and also wisdom for the church leaders to provide advice and help that together we can do a part in letting the people around us to know who Jesus is. Think thats all for now. Continue to keep me in your prayers and will be back soon, may be in December. God Bless!!

Hi everyone, sorry for not blogging for quite sometime.. been busy with work recently. I'm gonna update things that happen this two weeks so do bear with me if this entry is too long hahaha... Anyway, went for outfield two weeks ago. The drive is good, but my platoon mate commented that Í'm driving a bit too slow, though my Detachment Comd didn't say anything about it. Think will try to pick up speed a bit for the next outfield. Also, kanna alot of scolding from our 2 I/C over minor issues. Kind of demoralising especially for my VC, Wilson. Thank God, I've been here long enough that I'm immune to the scolding ler.. ahaha... Please pray for my 2I/C, ssg Victor. He is a Christian but tends to get agitated easily and start scolding people. Pray that God will give him patience and wisdom that he will be reminded that, 'in your anger, do not sin'.

This week is a busy week for me and my platoon mates. I should name this week , 'first aid' week. As we are being task to come out with a presentation for the Annual Safety Day. We've chose the topic on Heat injuries for the presentation. However, we have only 4 days to complete the ppt. Thank God that we manage to rush out the ppt after much research. Pray that we will be able to score and emerge champion for this yr Safety day. Also, yesterday we have our CPR Lesson conducted by the Senior Medic from Lakiun Camp. It was a interesting and fun learning for me. Though I've taken the Heartsaver course, but i still learn quite a lot from the lesson. Thinking of taking a standard first aider course when i go back to Singapore.

Also, ín the aim of improving our physical to get IPPT GOLD as listed by Comd, ADC has decided to bring back the tough training for us. This week we have run about 13km. I pray that i will be able to gain back my physical and get silver at least for my second window. By the way, This month is the start for the 200km run. We will be aiming to complete 200km within 3 months. Thus, we have to run about 10 km each week to hit the target. Please pray for me that i will be able to achieve it.

Please do pray for me as I've began to felt the pressure as the Aries club overall 2 I/C. As some of the ppl here are not contributing and putting in effort to help one another. Pray that God will give me extra patience and wisdom to deal with any issues that may arise.

Think thats all for now. Oh ya, heard that ms joyann has found a job at one of the international primary school, thank God for the providence :) Also, Jon, if you can't think of what to send me, you can send me some food.. hahahah i will be glad to accept it :) can also send me photos too.
