after 2 weeks.....

Taiwan was sure like a living hot oven at the same time a cold freezer! at night, temperature outside building can be as cold as 18 degree and as hot as 34 degree. unknowingly, i have got a lot my body sun tan! my face, limbs and even my body. the sun was so hot that it burns through the clothes that i wore!

few days ago, news of typhoon will hit Taiwan and it might affect the training. i prayed to God that even if the typhoon hits Taiwan, it will not affect our training. our rest and recreation might also be affected! Praise the Lord! the typhoon hit China instead! but i wonder if China citizen will be affected badly.

the food here, i am a little sick of it. i starts to miss SG food!! i might have a feast of local delights when i arrive SG. i miss my bed, i miss my dog!

i took some very nice shots that i cant wait to post it in friendster! right now i have to wait for everything to end before i can collect pictures from all my friends! everyone took different pics.

i have been sleeping late around 12 lately because i end work around 11plus and have very little rest at night. i still pray even though i am tired at night. lot of healing came to me... especially to my lip crack! it was irritating but i believe that it will be healed. and so it was. i was blessed!!!

today evening i will be going out for the grand finale exercise. it is the last exercise that i will be going through. though it will be a long 10 days, but i am going to make myself enjoyable and show my true colours that i have. as in terms of skills and leadership. it is time that i explode all these things that i have kept it. but i wonder if my friends will freak out or hate me because i sound a vlittle aggressive when i am "on the ball".

as these 2 weeks, i notice that there are condemnation and out cast of personnel taking place. in the midst of my busy and precious time preparing stuff, i am that only one dining with them... listen to their problems and understand their problems and offering solutions to their problems. all of them soon stick to me as i have took care of them. seems like they have respected me more because of my personality instead of my rank.

in the past 2 weeks, we had small exercise... i get to chat with Taiwan soldiers... they were friendly but there is a problem! i cant communicate well with them because i have problems explaining to them in chinese... who can help me pull up[ my socks in chinese ??

i got to know a soldier who is going to be a teacher in taiwan after he leave the force. i took a picture with him... hopefully we can keep in contact and be overseas friends...

i hope things will be good... cant wait for RnR now... i'm going crazy soon... sigh!

the life at Taiwan

i touched down in Taiwan on the bright sunny Sunday morning as early as 7am. it was quite a culture shock for me as it i never expect the camp to be so tear down... it was more like a kampong style but slightly better.

there were a lot of hygiene problems here as we don't have proper place to do our laundry. the water here is not portable... it was good and bad... there were limited hot water for shower. we all have to drink from mineral water. life is good here, relax and the wind is so cooling to me but very hot in the day... recently i just got a small lips crack. it was due to the strong wind and the humid level was low...

the food here was good. never get to eat some food in Singapore... it was superb!!!!! i manage to take some photographs... will be uploading it into my friendster account at www.friendster.com/patrickseng

in Singapore, only at P. Tekong i can than see real stars, and they were limited. over here in Taiwan, the whole sky is full of stars! i even saw shooting star 3 TIMES !! i was really a good sight to see.

i like the milk tea here... it was really good. fresh and well blend! the chicken chop was as well good, but only from the "ninja van" as they were fresh but unhygienic!

that's all for what i can say now... do drop me a message to my hp via websms to contact me and i will sms to your phone... it cost 60cents per sms!!! at the meantime, take care and wait for my next blog!!!

The finding...

The audit results were out... it was better than last work year... 96.38% for this work year... a 0.1% improvement in overall and my boss was very happy about it. he let us chose how many days of off we wanted... that's what many love to hear... in an organization, it is good to hear that but hard to achieve that kind of request... we dare not ask for more... we just ask for 3 days of off... finally i can take off!!!

i had never felt so good last week... i was on a week off... for the weekends that were burned in Taiwan... haha! i felt that i have AWOL.. quite funny though.... the feeling was very weird...

after this week's off, this Sunday i am flying to Taiwan... i wonder if i will be missed by anyone... haha! but i will surely miss Singapore's food... have tonnes of green packet waiting for me... yucks!

i was helping out with my friend in his delivery line.... though it was tiring, it was a learning place for me as well... i have never been to a warehouse before... and i know that the boss were powerful people... their factory was burned down due to "short circuit" after the findings... the whole warehouse was burn to ash... if i were them, my morale will drop tremendously, won't even wanna start the business again... it was everything gone... but the boss manage to pick himself up so fast and within 2 years, their warehouse was back to it's original shape and size!

if my buddy respect this kind of boss, what can i do? i will do the same, respect them as well. what more can i ask of? i wanna learn from them how did they pick themselves up so fast... or was it the nature of the business and that was a demand in Singapore...
