Happy New Year 2007

Hi my frens, a brand new year has arrived together with our new wishes and challenges.

How I spend my New year's eve? I bet that is the question I will get from my frens. Well, this new yr's eve countdown is another lonely countdown for me. Counting down alone although stuck in the middle of thousands ppl. Haiz.... Kind of sad, rite???

But anyway got the chance to make full use of my brand new toy: NIKON D40!!! Hahaha. See all these pictures I taken, although not of best quality and skills. I found this adver. at a bus stop in TST and quite a lot of ppl posing there to take their pic. I waited for a long time before taking this pic. You guess why.

As time was ticking closer to 12mn, more and more ppl turn out in TST as the police had sealed off the roads. I was stuck in the middle junction of Natham road. Cannot move forward and ppl keep pushing you from the back. But the worst was the smell of sewer where I stood. Damn smelly and almost fainted down there... Hahaha.. Just kidding...

Few seconds before 12mn, someone went onto the stage in front of Peninsula Hotel where all the big superstars and high class ppl like to go. He started to hit the drum and ppl start to counting down. It is a bit funny to me that ppl here countdown in Cantonese while I shouted in English. Took me a few counts to notice that. Hahaha. Also saw some ang mo climbed up the traffic light and sat down there. Police cannot even go thru the crowd to tell them to get off. That's all folks. Hee hee hee.

X'mas toy for myself

Finally, I bought myself a DSLR which I have been thinking of it for a yr alright. I finally make up my mind to choose Nikon as their D40 is the newest, cheapest and lightest in town for entry-level ppl like me.

Now I can post some pic of my life in HK as memories liao. Hahaha.


And lastly Happy birthday to Junbin and Jill.

Now I am Cool

The colder, coldest days are still yet to come... But the cold surge is coming into my hse!!! Help me!!! I can't stand it any more!!! TIME TO BUY A HEATER!!! My fren told me. And yes, I think so. A heater?? I will nvr think of that in my life in Singapore.

It has been more than 7 mths that I am living in Hong Kong. The weather changes from Spring to Summer and then now to fall. From the temperature of 25°C down(when I first came) to Summer peak of 35°C and then drop to 16°C yesterday, I can feel the time go by pretty fast over here in HK and the year is also about to finish soon. Maybe it is the weather that is keeping track of time.

I can't imagine what is the feeling like to go to 9°C during the winter time as I now slowly stockpiling my thick clothing as I am always a summer person. Afraid of the cruel coldness. Well it is for me to find out and for others to feel.

Mt Rinjani

Trekking on Mt Rinjani from 25 Nov to 28 Nov 2005 with Tony & Co. and spent 4 day & 3 nights on the mountain. I should say it is quite a good trek excluding the last 200m climb to the top as it is very sandy up there. For every 2 steps up, you will slide 1 step down. I had spent abt 1 hour plus climbing up the last part.

We were very lucky, really lucky. Going trekking during the monsoon could be the worst trekking to everyone. We are blessed with sunshine and light wind while another 2 groups of frens started their treks on 29 Nov - 01 Dec 2005 and they had experinced 4 days of rain. I was at Gills isle suntanning but my heart was with them as I looked at Mt Rinjani from there. The whole mountain was covered with dark cloud.

Happy New Year 2005!!!!

A new year had come and the past year had been a fast one for me..... Currently in my office, so called working, just finish the countdown with my frens over MSN while my frens are doing their countdown somewhere else.

Let me do a recap of what I have done for this past one year:

For the first months of 2004, I think I have been enjoying and relaxing as I was going to ORD liao. Nothing was being planned out as I tot everything would turn out just fine but I was wrong... The moment that I got my pink IC, I realized that I was unemployed with no income and I need to find a job.

But luckily Sean offered me a part-time job which allowed me to buy some time in searching for a full-time perm job. The job search took for abt 4 months or so and finally landed on my present job. Although it was not goodly paid, need to do 10 hours shift work with no or little meal break, plus no OT pay, I had already worked for 6 month plus liao without taking any MC, leaves and holiday break. Time really flies.

I moved my hse from Jurong West Extension to my present resale flat (3rd one) at Jurong West this year. The move was due to the location was too out of place and most importantly, the previous owner of my old hse killed herself there. It was not made known to me until the move was confirmed and I could feel all my hairs was standing the moment I heard the news. It sounded quite errie and I had lived there since 1999.

Well, that's all folks... Wish that everyone will have a great yr ahead of them.

Mumbo Camp 2004

Just got back home from Mumbo camp this afternoon, it's been a long time since I helped up in a camp liao. But the camp is not as fun as what I experinced before... Maybe it is due to I have lost the drive to join in the fun or too many instructers that I don't know. It could also be the thought of working today prevent me from exhausting my energy.

I am not too sure how many more years I will be helping up with Mumbo camp. It's all started in 1999 where Daren asked me to help him with the log and I have helped him for 4 yrs liao. But what I really like was to meet all those frens who had been helping almost every yr since I started. The feeling of the gathering was so good although it was quite short as all are now working adults and have their own commitments.

Now I am still feeling very bad abt let Ah Neh to solely run the whole show on Sunday and till now still don't dare to give him a call to tell him that I was too tired to wake up due to the camp. SORRY AH NEH!!!!

Haiz... To think of it, I am still not a trustworthy guy as I have given him my words to come down. Trying very hard to help others but still always make some ppl unhappy. Maybe because I don't noe how to say "NO"

First Entry

Well, this is my first log... I nvr had the habit to write a diary so I think that's why my english has never improved. Now currently still in office, doing nothing. That's why so free to write all this rubbishs... Haa haa...

This week I had been doing nite shift, so today my day started on 08/09/04 @ 1730hrs which I slept at ard 0900hrs in the morning. I am so thankful that the construction below my block didn't create so much noise like yesterday. I can finally had my 8 hours of sleep. I was supposed to meet Ah Boon for a swimming in Ngee Ann @ 1800hrs but ended up reaching school @ 1815hrs....

Found that guy at the snack bar, he was complaining abt the noise being made by the takaodo(don't noe how to spell) ppl and I told him that he could always change his location but he told me everywhere is the same..... Haiz.... Don't know how to say him.... haizzzz..

Instead of going to swim, he wanted to go and eat as he only ate 2 pieces of bread for the whole day. See him like this, I am very worried abt him... Haiz.... Hope that he will get into MOE and become a PE teacher soon...

After eating, we gone back to the pool and found Ah Neh and Benson were there for polo training. Both of us ended up playing polo balls instead of swimming, I never have the intention to use the dagger but the feeling was too strong for me to resist it... Can see that quite a lot of new freshies trying to do their row, hope that they will become great and better than what we all first started the game.....

Now feeling quite sleepy and hungry, still got abt 30min till my colleague come and take over me. Nvr know that I have so much to write. Life is getting boring for me and I don't know what am I working for. I currently have no aim in Life to motivate me. Helping ppl??? That is what I always do and ppl always take me as granted. Now should I think more abt myself???? Still thinking...
