i wasn't really in the mood to prepare for chinese new year as i was still mentally tired... not enough rest yet still... but still have to fake the mood out... hai~ didn't really help out much at home with the spring cleaning as i was hardly at home... i tried my best to clear as much as i can before i return back to camp... dump so much rubbish away...
on CNY eve, had a mini celebration at camp before i meet ivan and headed home. i notice that as i grew older, i seems to lost the interest in celebrating it.
today was CNY and i was quite reluctant to go as my family gathering will be on sunday. i felt like staying at home and have a good time sleeping and surfing the net. have been badly bombarded with a lot of facebook request. so many until i gave up. i was suppose to go to 9 temple with my mum and after that to my grandma's house. upon hearing that, i
i was force to wake up and go over to my grandma house instead of going to the 9 temples. reason, my grandpa's knee was hurting, so we didn't walk at all... thank God! so we headed down to jurong west via cab. it has been a few years already since i last saw my grandma. she still looks the same...
we went for vegetarian restaurant to have lunch there, after that they wanted to walk the newly constructed temple at tanjong pagar that area... went there walk walk see see look look... nothing much... boring trip... after the walk walk see see look look, so after that headed home and ended my day...

The phase at work
it is about 3 weeks since i have not written in my blog. my schedule was so jam pack that i can hardly breathe at all. don't even have time to have good rest to complete my work and reading my bible. now i am off track my bible reading... all thanks to you, the evil one~! may all the shame and shit be put upon you!!
everyday was so directly dry, do up my safety notice board and safety checklist for the unit to follow on. was very tiring over doing my checklist especially. have to meet all standards to prevent others from finding faults in us. this was the life that i have been going thru for the past 3 weeks or so. boring weeks indeed!
i nearly fall sick lately as i have been going to ammo dump to help other draw ammunition. i wonder how many will pity me as nobody will remember the backstage workers! i wonder how many camp mates will give me words of encouragements when i am down. i wonder who will give me a helping hand when i need those hands, who will lend those ears when i need one, who will provide an answer when i need one...
though i have no doubts on God but at times i don't understand why is my life so hard. was it because that i hardly pray, so that my life is harder?

Preparation for Audit check....
at the beginning of this week, i was asked if i want to be part of the safety management system force. my job will be preparing all the works and distributes to the others and make sure they follow and also to make sure that things are all in place. as i was experience in doing this last work year, i decided to give a helping hand.
i have tried to recall as many things as i can. i remembered that the last safety management audit gave me no day no night. it was just keep working and working and working. it was a hell long week. that was my memory and it was my past. now i am grateful that i do not have to work until like last time, no day no night as i have a more specific task. last work year my task was everything down the long checklist. it was a challenge!
my task this time was just to make sure that the safety board is completed with the required information pinned up and make sure the others did follow the standard as the safety team has set. i am quite unsure on where to get the information as last time i get informations from them and pinned it up. now i have to give them informations and let them pin up. did you see the difference? it was really indeed a pain in the ass... a lot of searching high and low and asking here and there was done. it was tiring BUT i like it because it has tested me mentally.
friday doesn't seems to be like a working day as i was roaming around like a lost soul... hid in edmund's cubical and played game instead of working. haha...

sunday church
Sunday came and i met lai meng at Tampines MRT station. was glad that he did not put me aeroplane... we went for breakfast at east point mall and Alan was suppose to join us but he overslept. so we meet him in church instead. on our way there, lai meng was open to anything i asked him. i respect people who owns an open mind!
service started at 0930 instead of 10 and if i knew earlier, i will have came earlier. lai meng got a shock and so did i. i was wondering how come they started so early... he was totally lost in church... he didn't know what to do...
the first weekend in 2008 i spend it in church, i am glad that i did that... pastor talks about focusing on my goal. a great topic for a new year for me. i have not really know what focus really means in life until they gave lots of examples. an example of HP computer. i didn't know that HP computers were that bad after they start to lose focus in their printing industry and wanted to compete with other companies.
with this example, i now have know the importance of focusing in life... HP will always be a good example of mine and to learn from them the mistake the CEO made. if you want to know more, find out yourself about HP past. hahaha
lai meng headed to enous as he have to go to his grandma house for lunch, so myself and Alan went for lunch at pastamania TM. we chatted and he bring me around for shopping some good watches... haha i cant wait to get a good watch that worth a few hundreds.
after window shopping, i met up with Tina and Sherrill at Bugis for discussion of Alan's 21st birthday. wanted a good one for him as he hit 21... mine was very horrible celebration, or in fact i didn't even celebrate at all... no money at that time even though i have a good plan. well to me, birthday is the day that marks the day that you are born and another year older... that's all and nothing special about it. we had a lot of walking that day and i didn't know that there are so many new things in the city... man someone please be kind and bring me out to town for some shopping please....
after the discussion, i met up with ranger and his friends for a movie, national treasure. it was indeed a good movie as it was about adventure.. that's all... hahaha and after the movie, we had a light dinner and we headed back our separate ways home, for me camp, Confined At Military Prison... =(

MCF dine and bible study
MCF stands for Military Christian Fellowship and not Makan Come First! on Monday itself, my brigade commander's secretary called me and ask if i can make it for a dinner this sat and i was quite shock to hear it. she says it is some Christian fellowship dinner and our brigade commander is going... well it seems like it is a chance to get to know him more, as i have never had the chance to talk to him like that in an informal dinner. COA was there General Winston Choo was there as well and a lot of other head of this and that were there as well. thinking back, it was indeed proven that you are not alone when you are with God!
we had a great dinner, and of course a great message before dinner.Rev John Sim, no idea from which church, preach about His words. this is the first time i had such dinner and i believe that a lot of soldiers are unaware of this annual affair. wasn't quite use to the way of their praise and worship, maybe its because of the place is limited so not much musical instruments were brought there. there were praise and worship as well and also a performance.... really a great night that i had at Temasek club.
when myself and Alan reach Temasek club, Alan told me that Temasek club is like a chevron for the officers core... i was shock to hear that. we walk around and it seems like there isn't much facilities and i wonder if the officers come to these places because i saw the swimming pool drainage like stuck... hahaha... and that place is quite torn down... they have a very interesting logo, that looks like sunshine empire logo as well! haha
today i had my very first bible study with wei qiang and wei xiang (the 2 wei ker) from serene the teacher! didn't knew much about bible study and was surprise to hear that there are a number of books that we have to complete. Interesting! and now i am looking forward to having bible studies every Saturday after cell group meeting! Praise the Lord!
Lai Meng, (one of my store man) is coming to church with me tomorrow. so excited to see him come to church with me... and i pray that he will respond to the alter call and believes in Jesus Christ and accept Him to be his Lord and Savior and will spread the good news to his family! Amen! Believing is having Faith in God!
