its 2018... "Hello World"

Oh dear. Where do i begin? It's been 6 years since my last post. Here I am back on this personal space of mine. A Husband. A Father. A Manager. New Home. New Work Responsibilities. New Commitments. Lost Mum. Lost Soul. Lost Health. I read somewhere this morning one of the ways to start looking after yourself better is to write. Lazy to write, so i figured typing would be the next best thing, so here I am. Lets start with things I am grateful for:- - My small family with a beautiful wife and handsome kid. - Stable job, and comfortable. - A roof over my head that i can call my own. - Being able to be alive and witness the current phase in life. oh gosh. So much I want to say, but just can't find the right words. 19 minutes to start of Work. -Gab

Its my Birthday in 5 days, but I have alot on my mind...

I have left the Navy after 6 years. Joined STE, and STILL in TNB. I'm getting the BTO flat in 1 1/2 years time. I'm getting married.... hopefully in the same period. and I'm worried about finances. I have made some right decisions and some very wrong decisions in my life. Most of the latter decisions are pretty recent. I want to set the record straight. From now on, I will strive and ONLY make right decisions in my life. I want to live my life and everyone else in my life to live off the right decisions that I made. Can't disappoint others due to my own failings End "As I grow older, the more we have to abide by life's rules, and came to the realisation that I am just another lab rat participating in the rat race just like everyone else."

Last day of 2010...

H ello everyone... First of all, I like to wish everyone a Happy New 2011! Been quite some time since I updated this blog of mine. (This is how I always start my post, I realised) Alot has happened in the year 2010... Me and Darling into year number 5... I swapped Brave for Valiant... Arsenal trophy drought into year number 5 (I just hafta mention that haha)... I'm 24 going on mid-20s... 4th year in the Navy... 12/10 with Bert & Hardi and 10 years with Leong... Got myself my first ever non-Nokia phone: a Blackberry... trip to Phuket... Struck my first ever Toto prize... Flew (or tried to) a kite first time ever... a cycling trip to Ubin despite being unable to cycle (thanks to Dean)... topped the Petty Officers' course... Not too many memorable things however though. But there's always 2011... the year before the disaster year of 2012! (hopefully things turns out well) Tony asked me earlier what are my Resolutions for the year 2011, and I realised I have not thought of

Relocate me somewhere.... ANYWHERE!

Sigh.. another sunday evening, time to book into camp soon (in approximately 2 hours + time?) Had a good wkend with darling, but tt's abt it, nothing much to look forward to at work. Especially with a Duty on next Saturday. Sighs. That practically means I will only get to sleep at home once nxt wkend. Good thing, POC is steaming at cruising speed already, 1 month has passed. My next posting doesnt seem to be any clearer than 1 month ago. -Sigh- It's not a good post when you see me punctuating with Sighs... Shingz... -haha- I wish.. i wish.. i wish.. I was Truman from Jim Carrey's The Truman Show. Lived 30 yrs of existance only to realise that I'm actually born into a movie world. If only I could find the exit door at this moment of my life. I want out of this job. I want a normal civilian life back, I want to have the freedom of staying at home on weekends. I don't want to be away from my loved ones. I don't want... I don't want... I don't want... Where

Not feeling too good..

Back after a really long time... at a time when I feel slightly detached from the rest of the world (maybe its just that I didnt leave house for slightly over 1 day)... The year 2009 have been better than 2008... career-wise, relationship-wise... however, I feel that I grown apart from my old friends, and not so prompt at making new 1s. =\ It's this overpowering feeling that got me to turn to this fairly old blog of mine. It's a good thing Blogger doesn't remove any blogs, if not I would not have this little space of mine on the net after so long.. Let's recap.. It's my 3rd year of service in the Navy, and I felt I have came a long way. I grown into my role onboard the Ship, gaining respect from top and peers alike with the way I have gone about doing my work and asserting my presence, on a personal note, I felt it was an achievement. But I still don't feel the urge to stay on once my contract has ended. I feel that I'm still restricted in certain aspects of
