Last day of 2010...
Hello 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 any, and I retorted him with a rather dumb answer...
So before anyone ask me again... here are my resolutions:-
- be the best I can be for my darling girlfriend and my precious mum
- pass my IPPT earlier than this year
- have a favorable conclusion in my search for my next career move
- complete a downpayment for a new BTO flat
- keep myself injury/sickness-free
- treat my friends better
- have more self-confidence in life
- strive to make and SAVE more money
- learn to drive
- last but not least... a memorable year... the best year ever.
Thats alot of bullseye to aim for, but I think I will be able to complete most, if not all.
Here's to myself... and all the best to one and all, stay safe, and have a great 2011!

2 pictures speaks 2 thousand words...
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's the Reset button thats supposed to be found on me?
Out.
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 my life by the fact that I'm in the Navy. It's been a good time onboard Brave, but perhaps I'm looking for a different environment/ship and a new challenge.
It's my 4th year with Darling, on a personal level, I felt that it's been a breakthrough year. Both of us have meet each other's parents and felt at ease if not comfortable (hopefully, that will improve over time, and I hope -you- feel the same way too.)
I continue to support my favourite soccer club , Arsenal FC without fail, a new Fabregas jersey and a Arsenal beanie, adding to my collection..
And recently, I re-ignited my passion for Pool, and with the comeback of virtual pool 3 on my PC, anything is possible! haha. crap. Other hobbies include, playing Left4Dead at LAN shops with my friends.. so anybody interested can ask me go all these stuffs ok? haha.
AI QING LU!
Just been hearing this song from the old serial show at 11pm... haha.. by Emil Chau. :) Enjoy. Lovely lovely lovely LOVELY song.
