Hey there, back to update again cos nothing to do now. Went to Shabandar last friday, was appointed to be the front man together with Brandon. A bit sian cos its the third time that I climbed the hill. Thank God that the weather is good on that day, sunny but windy day. Arrived there at 3 plus. We start to climb after some photo taking session at the foothill. This time we took about 1 hour 15 mins to complete the whole trail, its a bit longer as compared to the previous two times. However, whats most tiring is the long wait for the rest of the people to complete the trail. Waited for nearly an hour before all of the rest reach the end point. Headed back to camp after the climb. By the time we reach camp, it already 6 plus. Immediately went to have a quick wash up cos now there is a shortage of water in our area, the whole camp is having water rationing. After that, went to Wywy restuarant for dinner with Benji. Most of the HOBs went, including DY Comd. We ordered the set meal for 6 persons. Its really worth the money, cos the food is a lot and the fried rice is rather good. the whole set is only 48 dollars, and some more in the end, DY Comd foot the bill without us knowing...... hahhahaa save 1 meal sia.. hahaah. After that borrowed AO's car to go to Mata Mata's Metadore cafe to chill out. The place is really cosy, too bad dun hae camera with me if not will definitely post it on the net for you all to take a look. After that went back to camp to rest. On saturday, went to have our lunch @ Tian Xin restuarant, Gadong. They served very good claypot rice, and not to forget their 3 sour ping, which is my favorite drink right now. After the meal, went to the mall to watch Rambo 4. Its really so-so la... cos the shooting scene is really very fake.. really pity slyvestre stallone,so old already still need to come out to film, and somemore all the main role like director, producer, script writer all is by him. Must really salute him sia hahahaah...... Went to kiulap after that for massage, really felt relieve from the aching all that. After the session, went to meet Chief clerk and then head down to mata mata's Mamik cafe for drinks and satay, $went back after that. Today, woke up early in the morning to attend the 7.45am service so that we can make it in time to send Benji off @ the airport. After the service, went to lucky restuarant for dim sum. Really enjoyed the meal, think will bring the rest to the place the next time. head to airport after that, bid goodbye to Benji. I've seen many of those who come later than me but go back before me liao.... haiz... think another few more and it will be my turn to go liao... anyway,went off to camp to shower then go kiulap to find lian sheng and wei rui. Found a good place, where we can surf and the food is also very nice. Think will go there more often. think thats about all. Will be going for outfield next week so will not be contactable. anything just send a mail to my mail box or wait till i come back lor.. hahaha.. thats it for now, do pray for safety thru out the outfield and will keep you all in my prayers. Btw, all the best to you Cherie, bon voyage!!! Labels: 3 more months to EOT..Yeah

back to blog again. Now as usual, in coffeezone @ kiulap. Took the IPPT last thursday, not good, struggle in chin up when I pull my no 12 counts, then SBJ could only get 216cm and some more my 2.4km timing also slow down, only get 10:38, which is 40 seconds slower than my previous timing. Now trying very hard to train back my stamina, hopefully I will be able to get Gold before I end my tour here. Oh ya, by the way, I've been promoted again!!!! this time is from CPL to CFC. Rather happy about it, cos this is a new rank, and not many ppl have it so quite proud, though the rank looks a bit ugly.. hahaah.... got a slight increament in the allowance too which is a good thing :) Almost done with the Chinese New Year open house Decor. Now left with some final touch up here and there. Hopefully everything will goes well on the actual day. This time is my 2nd CNY in Brunei. Gonna miss the reunion dinner with my family and relatives again. Think will make it up to my family next year ba. Oh ya, today i went to the gym!! Its been !@#@$3342112 months since I last step into the gym. Joined Joshua and ADC in training Tri-ceps. Now my Tri-ceps is really aching, can't even wear my shirts properly. Need to slowly put it on. Though its tiring, I think its worth the effort. Hopefully I will be able to lose a couple of kilos ... hahaha.... By the way, will be climbing shabandar again... haiz... this is my third time liao... hopeful the weather will be cooling... thats it for now. Will update more next week or after CNY. Take care and God Bless!! :)

Now sitting in Coffee Zone Cafe @ Kiulap. Today is the 1st time I book out after being away from here for nearly 3 weeks.... Felt like going out to catch some fresh air, so decided to go to Kiulap where it is less crowded. Went to have my dinner @ Jenny Beef Noodles, had sze chuan spicy beef noodles. Didn't really enjoy the meal as the soup is so oily that I can see a thick layer of chilli oil on the surface. Didn't drink the soup, just eat the noodles and the beef. After meal, head to Hua Ho to help Sgt Jack hunt for spray can but the color is out of stock. Head to Q-lap mall to see if I can get some drama series to help me kill the time but didn't see any that I like. Walk out of the mall and cross the road to Bakerlyn. Thank God that there is still some orange sponge cake and vanilla donut which I like a lot, available for purchase. Bought the donuts and sponge cake, then head down to Chong Hock, again to find Dvds. In the end, bought 2 dvds but not from the shop but from the shop opposite. Head down to Ayam-ku to help ADC buy his half-spring chicken meal. After that, head down to here to settle down and have a cup of vanilla latte. Don't know why, even since I came back from Singapore, I've become rather restless even my friend say I've become more quiet and look more fragile.Think I'm tired of staying away from home for so long and its time for me to head back home. Plus, may be the death of my grandma has help me realised how much time I've wasted for the past few years. How I've neglected my family: my mum who I loved alot, my sis who I really dotes on and not to forget my father and my elder brother. Think when I get back to Singapore, I really need to spend some quality time with my family members and also, my friends especially Jonathan and Click. Please pray for me, that I may be able to spend the rest of my time in Brunei (approx. 3 more months) well. Will be taking IPPT tomorrow, hopefully will be able to maintain my timing. Aiming at below 10:15. Also, pray that I will be able to recover from the sadness that still occupying my heart, I really need to recover from it though I know it will take a while. Thats it for now. Will update more some other time. Will keep you all in my prayers, God Bless!!

Flew back from Singapore yesterday, finished with the funeral of my grandma. Felt really tired and sad right now. In my heart, I can’t seem to let her go even though she has left us. I really hope that I could turn back the time, back to the time when I’m just a small kid where she will always be there to take care of me. Even though, as we grow up, we become busy with our life and tends to visit her lesser, she always will ask about how we are doing. When we visit her, she will always be very glad, and will chat with us about our recent life. I really miss her a lot. I know it’s a relief for her as she has been going through pains due to cancer and lung infection. I just can’t bear the fact that she is gone. I think this pain will stay with us for quite a while, I don’t really know how to cope with it but I will try to. I would like to dedicate this entry to my beloved grandma. I just want to tell her, “Thank you Ah ma for all the care and love you have for us for the past many years. I know we haven’t been doing our duty well as your grandchildren. I hope that you will be happy in whatever place you are in now. We will take good care of ourselves and stay united as one family just like what you have told us to. We will really miss you…”

Hi there, its my first entry from Brunei after the long break in Singapore. Can say that I'm really happy to see everyone doing well in the different phase of their life. Though didn't really manage to click on to their topic at times, but I'm still glad to have them to accompany me to places to eat, watch movie and sitting at the cafe to slack. I really wanna thank God for granting me a group of friends who is always there for me, going through all the ups and downs of my life with me. A big thanks to all my brothers and sisters in Christ and also my friends too!! Now talking about my life in brunei. For the past few days, have been receiving feedbacks/updates from my fellow aries members regarding the issues of the club. Its really difficult to manage the club sia. Now then I understand how Jun Yue and Halim feelings when they are O I/Cs. Thank God, my RQ is quite a work efficient person so can talk to him not like the previous RQ. Started to prepare for the upcoming CNY open house. Been quite smooth sailing so far, hopefully we will be able to make it a successful one. Left with 3 more months before I leave this place which have provided me with lots of good and bad memories. Again, the question of what to do after ORD pops up in my mind. I really need to give it a serious thought. Left with like 5 months before I ORD, please pray for me that with God's help, I will be able to make a decision that will please Him most. Thats it for now, Alex is leaving tonight, may be sending him off, later on will be gonig out with Jun Nian to celebrate his birthday. Got to go now will update more the next time . God Bless!! Will continue to pray for you all!! :)

Today is the first day of a brand new year. Decided to spend the whole day at home, slacking and watching Dvds. Past few days has been meeting up wiht classmates, going out with leo they all and visiting my grandma. Last sunday, met up with Heling together with the rest before she leaves for China for 6 months exchange program. As usual, quite a number of ppl cannot make it, in the end only left 5 of us. Had our meal at Hip diners which is also under Billy Bombers. Had Bombers for twice within 3 days... errg... The food is so-so only. After that, decided to head down to AMK Hub for K since all of us lives in the north area. However, half way through the journey, decided to go Heling house for a game of mahjong. Played till like 11 pm cos shiyun need to go back early due to work the next day plus zhong wei also got duty. Thus, that marks the end of our meet-up.
on Monday, went down to the hospital to visit my grandma. She is hospitalised due to breathing difficulties. She's become so fragile and skinny. Really so sad to see her become like this. The doctor say that she got a bit of lung infection and internal bleeding. Thus, the doc give her blood transfusion plus put her on oxygen mask. Now, her condition is stable ler, been transfer out of the high dependency unit. The doc say that what we can do now is only to make her feel comfortable, cos because of her cancer and lung infection, she will anytime leaves us. Stayed there from morning till evening. After that, head down to Bugis with my cousin to help her buy cake from secret recipe but in the end no need, so went to collect JQ's watch too. Headed to Church for watch nite service, after which went to watch AVP 2 at AMK Hub. So so only I would say, nothing much but the ending really sucks..... After that went for supper with leo they all and went home to rest, reach at 5am in the morning. Spend the whole tuesday at home until evening went to Cherie's house for buffet. Had a good talk with Shermaine and wei beng they all, talking about our future, where to study, what job to get etc... will continue to pray for you all and especially the church that God will help us to unite as one, to help one another and to contribute in the various ministries. After the buffet, went to minds cafe @ Boat Quay for an hour of games. Haven't been there for about a year ler I guess. Had a great time there. After that head straight back to home. Then today as usual, spend the whole day at home, slacking and watching TV plus chatting with Edina and Hwa Qi. We updated on each other about our lives, its been a long time since we last seen each other. Meet up with pei yung, aina they all for dinner at Ichiban sushi, AMK Hub. had a good chat, even though the quality of the food is so-so plus the waiting time of the seats is super duper long. Hwa Qi, also come and join us. Am really glad that you all could make it even though you all are tired after work. really appreciate it. Tomorrow will be flying back to Brunei ler. My heart a bit heavy cos it will be another 4-5 months before i see all of you again. Please continue to keep me in your prayers, and do take good care of yourself and be a good testimony to the friends around us. God Bless you all and I shall see you all again in 5 months time !!! :) P.s. Sorry for the super duper long entry... ahhaah |
