Finally, I'm back in my comfortable home.. Just had guard duty last night. This was a very busy week?Most of my colleagues are on off, so I have to help them cover over their work. Plus, mob is coming and there a lot of admin work to be done. What I'm going to do later is get a short nap and start on my house visits. Altogether I have 7 homes to visit. So sad?. And they are rather spread out, maybe shd try calling again to see if I can reach them.

I still haven't contact Aviva yet. Thinking of increasing my insurance premium but don't know to how much. $400,000 should be enough I guess. At least can allow papa n mummy to use for about 10 years shd anything go wrong to me? Hehe? Still deciding whether to buy a laptop to bring over since it is allowed? But kinda expensive and waste of money coz I will be buying one in uni? Shall consult others first?

Suppose to meet up wif my sec sch classmates but still haven confirm with them yet. Have been pushing it back for wks. Think cannot push back anymore. No matter how busy or tired, still must go. Plus, Wayne is backed from perth is back for summer holidays. Haven see him for quite long time?. Wished I had more than 24 hrs a day!Wedding preparation Part 1Sis has decided to go for food tasting at the following hotels and I will be tagging along as advisor? Hehe?:
1) Meritus Mandrin
2) Raffles the Plaza
3) Swisshotel Merchant Court

Anyone been to the above hotels before and can provide their opinion?

Hehe.... I have finally bought my fav ipod mini... Chose the blue one, which is my fav colour... Had the intention to buy long ago but did not take action till sat. My sis asked if i wanted to buy and she volunteered to get it for me thru montly installment on her card. Thought it was not a bad idea... Hehe... Thanks alot to my wonderful sis... Then we had dinner together with mummy at crystal jade.Talking about mummy, there is a girl at her workplace who is only 21 years old and a bridal gown designer. What a great achievement and mature lady i will say, considering she only had o levels cert. But she is really talented in this area. Also she had been a property agent before... Really impressed with her....

Well, i just completed the last major thing i will be doing for camp, which ws the change of command parade held yesterday. I hope no major events cominng along to hinder my plans of going on off... Work still has to be cleared so for the whole of next wk, all my days are fully booked. Less than 2 wks more to my own big day. Think i destined to spend it alone lah. For the past twelve years, i spend the day mugging and worrying whether i will pass my exams. This year, i will get to spend it in camp, coz of mob manning... Anyway think no one will be free to go out too... Papa will be back today from his hol. Still deciding whether to go eat dinner with mummy and sis later anot... Kinda lazy to go all the way to suntec. Shall be going to library later to pick up some books to read. There is a long stretch of hol next month from the 11th onwards. Actually thinking of going to Perth wif sis but she ask me to drop the idea but go on a cruise wif whole family instead. Very long oso never go cruise, think not bad lah... So must start applying for leave again. The troublesome and long process.... 人累了就应该休息, 可不能逞强.

The five people you meet in heaven

This book is rather nice. Great sastisfaction after reading it and definitely put me to ponder over stuff...Some nice pointers i pick out:

All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at that time.

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.

Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, thats all. You cant see their smile. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nuture it, you hold it, you dance with it.

She was unusually calm. She did not make a big hoo-ha. She did opposite of what iexpected. I hope thats not the calm before a storm. Nevertheless, I'm relieved that i 've told her finally and she can be prepared for it.Just as i'm enjoying myself during the trip, my posting came silently. When i first step back in camp on tues nite, my friend told me that my posting had came. Subsequently, everyone that i saw told me the same thing. Don understand why but i don seem to be very excited about it. Got the details and stuff from CSM. " Please submit all your relavant documents before 22nd". Brunei is where i'm going.....

I did not want to come back. I was enjoying myself, so peaceful and relaxed over there. There were too much things for me to handdle back here and things which i do not want to face. In the wee hours of the morning, i took the hotel transport to the airport. I took a last look at the shoreline of Penang and the lush green hills. Simply wonderful! The plane was less than a quarter filled and i had the whole row of seats to myself. Reach Singapore ten plus and decided to head home to drop my stuff first before meeting Ben for lunch. Had my fav cozee. Sat down at Lips cafe and talked quite long. Talked about life and ya.... Spent quite alot on this trip Couldn'y believe it when i did my sums. Flipping thru the newspaper again. Yes, again I'm thinking of going for a self drive hol with my sis. Western Australia will be nice. This trip will be sponsered... Haha... Projected departure is after the mob on 2nd wk nov... Hehe...Will be blogging about my trip soon... Busy with work, planning my offs thats has to be cleared and preparing all the admin work.
It is a very long weekend for me.... No need to go back till mon night. Hehe... My com has gone bonkers again and managed to restore it on thurs morning.... Sat down all the way from wed nite to thurs morning to solve the problem.... When everything was done, realised that it was 6 in the morning, so went to sllep for a while before meeting my sec sch friend for lunch....Had lunch at Pizza Hut at Parkway. Coincidently, sis also meeting her friend there for lunch, so share a cab with her to parkway. Talk for very long at pizza hut. Found out that he got into law, not very surprising considering he has straight As.... After lunch, accompanied sis to Suntec City to change her phone. Soon it will be my turn to change phone... HEhe... And then we decided to pop down at Takashimaya to do some Xmas shopping.... Did not buy anything coz not much things. Shall wait for discounts to be thrown out first. Head down to basement to get curry puffs and bread to fill my stomach.... Sort of losing sleep this few days... Guess must be brain working too hard again.... How?

She had left. Elsa had left for Australia to further her studies. There goes another good friend. The fantastic seven did not turn up today. Only the six of us excluding wesley was present. Fantastic seven was a nickname given to us by our civics tutor. I thought it will be great that all of us will be present since i'm leaving next month but a pity.... Sad.... Don know why he so busy.....Looking at elsa leaving, i realised that i was going to be the next one. We had so much fun during school days.... Luckily no one cried, else she will feel very sad. Had lunch at Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao, followed by dinner at sakae.Spent quite alot on food but managed to recover debts from my friends. Tmr going to be another busy day, so going to find Zhou Gong now!Take care Elsa! All the best to you.....

Finally I'm at home sitting down... My poor legs are complaining after walking the whole day. Woke up very early today, abt seven plus den watch CNA regarding the US president debates.

Went to ICA finally to process my stuff..... Hafway thru elsa msg me and ask me abt laptops. Being a kind soul, i decided to meet her at sim lim and offered my opinion...Hehe.. But actually i do not know much... Haha.... She managed to find one that she liked and bargain with the salesman. Finally discount of 200 plus dollars plus a free mouse, she decided to buy.... Women are really great.... Haha... But sad for her lah, no stock so wait and wait till now the shop sa the laptop is in the warehouse but not yet to be distributed in singapore.... So maybe she has to look for an alternative. Accompained her to chinatown to travel agenices to collect brochures for her parents. But i ended up collecting brochures for myself... Haha.... And i got a treat from her, which was a iced mocha from coffee bean. Thanks lah.....Though tired, it was great to be out with her the whole day. Don know when we will see each other again....
