Thanksgiving and Anniversary

Work is getting tougher each day with all the inputs.. After the three weeks of TDY and so many things happened in Luke.. now more things has to be done.. thou the things that input is for more covering and to prevent more things to happened.. but it took us more time to do it and it don't really solve the problem and hope it wont make more problem out of it..

26 Nov 09 Thurs - Today is Thanksgiving Day where people celebrate and thanks for the things that they have and thus giving to those that are less fortunate.. Most of the shops were closed for this day.. but this days few shops were open to get ready for the upcoming Black Friday Sale which is the next day.. we went to Best buy in the afternoon to check on the queue for Best Buy and there is already people queuing up.. and some of them were people whom we know.. we went to Walmart to check too but there wasn't much crowds as Walmart was open on this day.. so we went back to Linda house and get ready for our Thanksgiving Steamboat.. After the Steamboat we came back changed and and went down to Best Buy and start queuing at 6 plus in the evening..

The night was really long and cold.. people who were queuing were all fully gear up for the queue.. some brought their tents and some with their sleeping bags.. for me and Jerlyn was the 1st time queuing.. so we didn't know what to expect.. so after waiting till 3 plus in the morning.. the people who work in Best buy start coming in for work.. so everyone start moving forward and some people from don't know where start cutting the queue.. and this make everyone at the back unhappy.. we have been queuing for so long in the cold and these people just come from nowhere and cut queue.. now could see that there is always black sheep among everywhere.. But lucky for us.. we still able to buy what we came for.. after finishing the shopping and going to Walmart and check for other deals it already day break.. we couldn't take it anymore and went home to sleep..

Back From Dallas

After all the guys went to Dallas Fort Worth, Texas.. The work over in Luke is really tough.. Only 3 guys per shift.. It really need the 3 guys to click well and help each other so that the job will be done better.. But in Air Force as people will know it really difficult to get the guys to listen and being a team leader is not easy.. and over here there are more people who talk and not working then those who work hard and get nothing.. that why Air Force is difficult to survive..

7th Nov 09 Sat - Jerlyn ask Linda and her husband, Teck Tong to join us to go to the Arizona State Fair.. An annual event which only open in October till November.. This was the 2nd last day of the event and we tried playing as much as we could.. Jerlyn won a plush toy banana for herself while Linda won a plush toy monkey.. I nearly won a jersey for myself but misses the hoop few times by inches..

11th Nov 09 Wed- This day is called Veteran's Day.. It is to honor those people who survive and came back from the World War One.. Which mean a holiday for us.. didn't do much on that day.. went to BX and Walmart and also Baby'r'us for walk..

14th Nov 09 Sat - Wake up early and went to the Airport to take a early flight to Dallas Fort Worth, Texas to top up manpower for guys.. Going for only 5 days.. 1st time having a 5 days detachment.. Upon reaching there, Chief was there to receive me and HS.. After reaching the Naval Base.. Our own Chief took over and took us a ride around the Base.. Then he told us actually we are not needed over here as he told us the guys over here were doing a great job but since the air tickets were booked so just let us come here and enjoy.. How wrong was he..

15th Nov 09 Sun - It started with strong wind while we were working and then started raining.. The Pro Super told us it will be a small rain so told us to finish the job before going in.. but rain keep going and all of our guys were all wet.. what a day to start the 1st day of work.. Since it was our 1st day.. the guys took us to eat Churches Chicken.. 3 pieces for only 2.99usd..

16th Nov 09 Mon - Wake up hearing growling sound outside the room.. Open the curtain and saw the whole tree is shaking.. The wind was very strong and cold that day.. think it reach 39 deg F that day..

17th Nov 09 Tue - Still very cold that day.. It was our last day of work in Dallas Fort Worth.. the guys took out for dinner at a Thai Restaurant to eat.. waited super long for the food and the food was too spicy for me.. so the food wasn't that nice and i went back my room to eat biscuit..

18th Nov 09 Wed - Going back to Phoenix in the evening.. So after checking out at 11am in the morning.. and helping the Dyess crew to download luggage from the coach.. we went to a Vietnamese Restaurant to eat lunch.. It was good food and the portion is very big.. After that went back to the Squadron and wait.. I'm not sure why Chief want us to wait over there as 3 of us quickly become a sore eye to others as we couldn't help in anything as we are not in working gears.. The time passed slowly and finally we could leave that place in one piece to the Airport..

Back in Phoenix and back to work again today.. Haiz..

TDY

After back from San Diego and LA.. its back to work.. nothing much happened.. its the usual working politics and stuff..

24 Oct 09 - Jerlyn wanted to go to a corn farm near our home so we went there, took pictures, saw lots of pumpkins and lots of corn.. there is even a corn maze for us to adventure to.. went inside the maze for about 40 minutes before we found the 6 pieces of map and came out.. I even try firing tomatoes on a far target but I didn't manage to hit it..

At night that day, there a BBQ at one of the new guys place swimming pool.. As usual there food and beer.. Most of the guys were in the Jacuzzi then one of them got push into the swimming pool and they start throwing people into the pool.. the pool was very cold as the weather had turn cooler so the pool temperature is around less then 10 degrees C.. they were trying to aim for me but not wanting to be thrown into the water, I gladly took off my accessories and clothes and walk into the pool.. But it was too cold for me i quickly walk over to the Jacuzzi and stay there..

The next days few of the guys including me fell sick but still working.. it was torturing but still got to work..

30 Oct 09 - I took Jerlyn to Paradise Valley Mall to shop.. this was our 1st time there as I never been there since I came to America.. The thing about this place is there an Abercombie and Fitch shop in this Mall as there not much A n F shop in Arizona..

1st Nov 09 - We went to watch NBA live in US Airway Center, home of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury. WNBA champions 2009.. The match was between Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves.. not bad as it was the 1st time watching an NBA match live.. took pictures of the stadium and even took pictures with the cheerleaders..

1st nov was also the start of the detachment.. most of the people have left for Dallas, Texas.. only 20 plus people were left in Luke.. For us Weapons, only 7 guys including me were stay behind.. But our IC whose mum passed away so he had to go back Singapore to attend his mum funeral so we left only 6 guys.. After he left I become from the 3rd most senior guy to the 2nd most senior guy.. so me and Ming took one shift of 3 guys each and work.. As most of our tasks need minimum 3 guys to work.. we were working to the bare minimum.. its was tough was still manage to pull through..

Back In Arizona

Back from Singapore for 3 weeks has passed..

Went to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA on 10 - 11 October which is around 8 hrs plus drive from our home in Goodyear, Arizona, USA to watch the balloon festival.. Hundreds of hot air balloon will raise from this place and it will be very beautiful.. When we reached there, its already the 2nd last day of the festival.. but we didn't managed to watch it as the weather prohibit us to watch it.. the wind was too strong for the balloon to be inflated.. No choices we went back early in the morning next day which the last day of the festival and hoping to see the balloon raise.. But the weather doesn't want to co-operate.. Disappointed for traveling so far to watch but didn't managed to do so... we set off to our next destination White Sands.. White Sands is a National Park where all the sands is really white.. we cant believe till we actually saw it.. its as white as snow.. We went up the sand mountain and play and took pictures.. Luckily White Sands was worth going if not we had wasted the trip..

Went to ask the admin about my marriage leave again and found out that actually my marriage allow me to go "oversea" as in out of the state for PC2 concept.. so i took it and apply for San Diego and LA trip from 17 - 21 Oct..

Sat 17 Oct - Wake up early and set off from home to go San Diego.. wanted to rent a car and go but couldn't get one last minute.. so we drove our own car there.. Reached our motel but too early to check it.. so we went to a Factory Outlet near Mexico borders.. weather was quite cooling and foggy too.. went to a Pier near our hotel but was too foggy to see anything so we went back motel and rest..

Sun 18 Oct - Went to Sea World San Diego.. 1st time there.. its something like underwater world in Sentosa but its bigger and they have killer wales as their main show attraction which they call it Shamu..

Mon 19 Oct - Drive up to LA.. reach the Griffith Observatory 1st but didn't manage to go in as they closed on Mondays.. so we went to search for the nearest place we can see the Hollywood sign which we managed to find it.. after that we went to the Walk of Fame where famous people had their names crave on the floor.. went to Santa Monica Beach Pier too to see the sunset.. weather was very cold over there..

Tue 20 Oct - Went to Universal Studios and took the rides and watch the shows.. Jerlyn like this place alot.. having lots of fun here.. I also won the plush toy for her.. making her happy.. went to the City Walk and had our dinner and took a stroll..

Wed 21 Oct - Almost end of our trip.. driving back and stop by Ontario Mills and Desert Hills Outlet.. Jerlyn having a shopping spree..

Called back My Mum and Dad asking about my Sis condition.. heard that they have some issues with the money for my Sis Nursing Home payment.. couldn't get through the calls at 1st and was quite frustrating as I doesn't know what has happened back in Singapore.. But now as least I know that my Sis is at nursing home now.. Hope she can recover well soon so she doesn't need to stay in the nursing home anymore..

Going Back

Tomorrow I will be flying back to Arizona with Jerlyn.. with alots of thoughts in my mind.. My Sister condition is doing well now after 2 weeks of High Dependency Unit care from the nurses and the medication to boost her Blood Pressure up, to keep her fits intact and also the Tachy problem that causes her to have the operation.. now it seems that she had to go to nursing home next week after her discharge, her nursing home cost might incur a financial problem to me and my family.. Thou i had some saving to spare but there is still too much things i need to settle with money.. my Housing with Jerlyn need money, my eczema need medication, Jerlyn nose problem need medication, my dad health need medication, my mum health need medication and now my sis need medication..

Thinking of ways to cut costs and save money as I need to learn a better ways to manage time and money.. one of the ways is to extend the stay in PC.. so i can save more.. and also cutting down on the junk foods too.. if extending is not a option for me, I hope i can go back to my old base in Tengah to work so I don't need to travel so far to Changi to work.. the transport expenses will cost alot. And also I can spend more time for Jerlyn and my sis too.. All these i need to talk to my trade IC and hope he can help me get a better posting..

Two weeks back in Singapore didn't really go anywhere except everyday in NUH.. Only manage to went to few places to eat.. Went to Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 to eat the Chili Crabs that Jerlyn craves, went to Takashimaya to taste Mookcakes that I craves, went to Bugis and Orchard for walks and chat with friends, and also West Coast Park Mac and Clementi for food.. Went to Pandan Gardens to pray for my sis health too..

Now that tomorrow I will be leaving, I hope that everything will turn out fine, my sis can recover eventually.. and I hope I can get a better outcome for my posting for next year after i talk to my superiors.. Life getting tougher every year.. I also hope Jerlyn and I will love each other more and she can getter with her nose problem, she can get a better job when she come back with me next year, she can slim down to her desired weight and also she will have a healthy baby in a few years time when we try for our next generation..

Feeling Sad

6th Sept 09 - Went to Sedona, Arizona with Jerlyn, Boon, Jia Min, Ming, Serene, Winson, Chua, Bro Tan and Wei Xin.. wake up early in the morning boon and i went to budget to rent 2 cars for the trip.. it was a long ride.. stop at Anthem Way Mac for breakfast and move on to Sedona.. as no one ever went up to Sedona before except Ming who went there few years ago during his 1st trip to USA.. No one really knows where to go.. so we just drive where we think is correct.. stop at one of the places to look for hiking trails.. but cant really find it.. walk till Jordan Historical Park.. there is nothing much there actually.. So we decided to go to the Slide Rock State Park instead.. One of the places that have stream water from the mountains and can slide the rocks down the slope.. Few of the guys went to play including Jerlyn.. can see that she was having fun.. After the adventure.. we drive down back to Anthem Way.. wanting to go for the Outlet Shopping but by the time we reached.. its closed.. so no choice went for dinner and ended the day..

7th Sept 09 - wake up in the morning saw my bro msn saying my sis was in hospital.. Not knowing what happen i msn him back waiting for him to reply.. as Singapore was night time.. i waited till the night in US so i can call back and ask.. but just whn i thinking of calling.. my bro called and say my sis is in critical condition.. having operated on her throat in the morning of 8th Sept Singapore time.. I couldn't sleep after that.. called my superior about it.. wanted to go back Singapore as early as possible..

8th Sept 09 - Got to go for work but wasn't in the mood.. told Tim and Rusty about it and they were kind enough to let me go back squadron and get the administrative stuffs and air tickets done..

A New Beginning

Changing from another location to here. At first my blog was at here blogger.com but because of some unhappiness few yrs ago with my ex, I changed my blog to friendster blog. At that time, friendster website was quite popular so i started my new blog over there untill now. Friendster has died now and have alot of virus in it, that why i decided to change back to here again..

For the month of june, i was at maple flag det in cold lake, alberta canada for 23 days.. life was boring over there.. cos it was a very small town.. miss my dear alot.. finally came back in 18th june with my dear fetching me.. she then cook a Ai Xin dinner for me to eat.. it in my facebook photo can go and see..

For my career it now hanging in the midpoint as now new scheme will be introduce next year.. whether to stay or leave, i dun really have much choices cos there too many things for me to consider.. and if really want to stay i sure need to buck up and beef up my knowledge as i always forget what i have learnt.. haiz..
