This week has been a tiring week for me and my platoon mates here in Brunei. We have been busying servicing and preparing our Vehicle for the upcoming Inspection. I wish I could post a picture of me now (sorry no camera), I look like one of the construction workers in Singapore sia... haha cos yesterday we have been working under the hot Sun for like 4 hours!? everyone is sun until very tanned that the rest of the people in Camp are asking us what we do for the whole morning.. anyway, after our work, we went out together to a Japanese resturant at Centrepoint Hotel, Gadong. The food there is not bad la, but the place is really cramp and we got like 14 ppls?! so we have to squeeze ourselves into the room which we paid for $15 for the reservations. After which we order quit a few dishes to try. I like the soft shell crab and the Ebi teriyaki, its really soft and fresh. When we are about to finish, I order another dish, Okomiyaki, like pan cake cos its look quite delicious. I was wrong. It taste really awful that I didn't mange to finish it. On top of it, it cost me $8! yesterday total damage for the meal is $30... so sad sia... think will not be going back again. Today went to LTA with Lian Sheng and Jun Nian. Waited for a while to get their registration for the driving done. After that, we took a short walk to Gadong, on the way, we spotted this Nyoya Resturant, so we went to take a look. Once we went in, we realise that they are having promotion for Dim Sum, 1 'long' for 99cents. We decided to try it out since its rather cheap. The Dim Sum is rather good I would say even though the variety is rather limited. We spend like an hour sitting there, enjoying the Dim Sum, chit chatting. Its a good place to makan I would say. Think will bring the rest to come and try out also, may be bring Jun Yue and Jun Hong go also. After that went to watch the movie: 881:papaya sisters. Its really a very nice movie. Hilarious I would say. The singing and the costumes and the actors really makes me wanna laugh.. haha... think those who haven't watch should go and watch it, even though most of it is in Hokkien (don't worry, got Subtitles to help you :). After watching the movie, here I am slacking in Coffee Zone, drinking Oreo Mochacinno Frappe and using the internet here. Later on will be going to Church with Mdm Gloria and Benjamin. Think thats all for now I guess.. will update more next week.. take care my friends and stay happy :)

Back again to update on my life in Brunei. This week, I would say, is rather short... Went for outfield from Monday to Wednesday. Came back on Wed Nite. Throughout the outfield, face quite a lot of problems: Vehicle down, unable to start, have to go back camp to get the spare to fixe it. One thing I enjoy most is the R&R when the vehicle is down haha.. also the cooperation of my crews during the training. During the training, my other platoon mates commented that our crew 14C, put up a good show. I'm really proud to be part of the 14C crew. However, tomorrow, my gunner & best pal will be leaving Brunei back to our Homeland, Singapore. Felt really sad right now.. cos we've been through a lot of things throughout the past 9 months here. We are like brothers in one big family sia... sob sob... Here's some of the photos taken during the outfield: New member to our family My Buddy who is leaving.... Like this pic alot! Don't you think its nice? Me & Cam @ the beach together with the rest Tomorrow Zhiyi and Elgin will be taking afternoon flight back so will be sending them off at the airport. Wanna wish both of you all the best and take good care of yourself pal. keep in contact ba :)

This week is rather hectic for me. Went to Temburong for Medical FFI on Wednesday. It was a tiring day for me. At first, arrange to meet at MT line for transport to Jetty to take the fast craft. Later realise that need to arrange transport to pick me up at the jetty, which I didn't. Through out the journey from camp to Jetty, I've been calling LC Comcen to arrange for transport but couldn't get thru. Called Camp Comcen to ask Qiao Yong to help me arrange. After that, Ridzwan help me to call up the Admin clerk at LC to help to arrange transportation. I was very worried throughout the journey. Then, I remembered the sermon given by Senior Pastor Derek Ong from Church of our Savior about do not worry but commit everything to the Lord. Thus, I calmed myself down and say a prayer in my heart to the Lord, committing everything to Him. After reaching the Jetty, Ridzwan pick up the LC personnel which includes the LC MT Line 2I/C. He help me to arrange for transport to pick me up at the Temburong Jetty. Board the fast craft at 9am, couldn't really calm myself down, so been saying prayer to the Lord throughout the Boat ride. When about to reach the Temburong Jetty, Received SMS from Ridzwan that transport has been arrange and also SMS from Zhi Yang that the MO will be available to see me. God is really marvelous and incredible. At first, nothing is confirmed but slowly piece by piece everything started to match up to form the picture. Finally, the transport pick me up and went to see the MO. I passed the Medical FFI.Anyway, saw Alex while I was at LC. Can see that he is really training hard in preparation for the JCC. Really hope that he can overcome and pass the course as he really put in a lot of effort, especially in his physical, in order to get the chance to go for the course. Friday receive news from Chief Clerk that my extension has been approved. Thus, I will be extending my tour from end of this year till next year april. Will take this period to spend more time in my walk with God and also to think about my plan after I ORD. Thinking to study at SIM-RMIT for account degree or work full time and study part time ACCA. Please pray for me that God will reveal His plans to me throughout my stay here. Anyway, will be back in December for 1 week to meet up with all my friends. Think thats it for now, will update again when I'm free.
