Christmas Eve

Today is Christmas eve.. Memories came back and last year was really a fun and enjoyable Christmas eve at Arizona.. Now back in Singapore again the Christmas atmosphere wasn't that strong anymore..

5th Dec 2010 Sun - On this day we went to meet my ex colleague MK who is now a property agent.. He called me that there is a HDB unit for viewing so we went down to see it.. The unit is quite near to Jurong Point.. It's about 5 to 10 mins walk.. Location wise is very good.. It's on the 4th floor.. A bit low for our liking and the windows is facing the multi storey carpark.. Which mean its easily seen from outside.. Jerlyn doesn't like the design and decoration of the house which mean a lot of hacking and renovation to be done if we bought it.. And this is just our 1st viewing so its just a experience for us.. Next we went to MK's house to view as he spent 50k to renovate it.. He convert one of the room to become a walk-in wardrobe and storeroom which is quite creative.. He also knock down the bathroom wall and change into a glass so the bathroom is visible from the master bedroom.. Quite liberal and modern haha..

6th Dec 2010 Mon - I was still on leave but Jerlyn started working.. So I stay and home and rot haha..

7th Dec 2010 Tue - Rotting at home again haha..

8th Dec 2010 Wed - Went to see my Sis with my Mum and Cyndi's Mum too.. She meet me and my Mum at Hougang for breakfast before going to visit my Sis.. Heard that Cyndi's bro Jianfeng brought his wife to France for holiday with his company paying for his trip.. He only need to pay for his wife' share..

9th Dec 2010 Thurs - Met Mingfeng and Ailin at West Coast Plaza for lunch and chat about house.. MF was trying to buy resale flats too.. Heard from him that he is going to view a flat in Clementi so I decided to ask Jerlyn to join them for view later at night.. The Unit was on the 6th floor and location was really good.. Everything is nearby but just that for the small size of 86sqm for $608,000 is too steep and the master bedroom layout is too awkward.. If not MF might have bought it..

10th Dec 2010 Fri - Today was celebrating Trisa birthday.. So we went to Liang's Court to meet up with Trisa, Samuel, Liting and Cecilia for dinner at a ma la steamboat restaurant.. After that we went to Lunar, a club to chill out.. 1st time going to a Chinese songs theme club feel different..

11th Dec 2010 Sat - Jerlyn accompany me to PSB academy to pay my course fee.. 3 modules for $4500.. There goes my bonus.. course will start on the 1st week of Jan.. After 10 yrs of working.. I'm going back to study.. really having mixed feeling.. Pray hard I can pass all my exams and graduate..

12th Dec 2010 Sun - Jerlyn and I went down to Chinatown OG to buy my Christmas present.. She bought a aeroplane cuff link and 3 of my favourite Skinxwear for me.. Then bought Koi Tea down to Cecilia's house at Hougang for the ladies 1st Mahjong session.. The main players are Jerlyn, Cecilia, Liting and Trisa.. But Trisa was late so Cecilia's Mum takeover Trisa place 1st while I watch variety show for 4 hours.. After Trisa came over, Liting have to leave early so Me and Trisa took over Liting and Cecilia's Mum.. I haven't been playing mahjong for many years so took me awhile to get the hang of it.. Cecilia's Mum was the biggest winner and Liting was the biggest loser..

13th/14th Dec 2010 Mon/Tue - Me and Nic went to Tampines Concourse for our WITS and Techique course for two days..

15th/16th/17th Dec 2010 Wed/Thurs/Fri - Nothing much on these 3 days as I was back at work.. Jerlyn went for her company Christmas celebration and dinner at Paragon..

18th Dec 2010 Sat - Wake up early to go around Clementi Central to run our errands and brought Jerlyn's favourite Koi Tea.. Went to Bishan Ting to pay Jerlyn grandma a visit.. Jerlyn saw her brother's girlfriend for the 1st time..

19th Dec 2010 Sun - Went down to IMM to checkout if there is anymore of Jerlyn's Christmas present available but upon reaching there, there was a note saying Iphone 4 stock not available.. so we went walking and have our lunch.. Saw Sony Centre so decide to ask Sony to have our TV install to the wall.. When we were thinking of leaving, Jerlyn wanted to ask Starhub if we were able to reserve one Iphone 4 but to our amaze, there is still Iphone 4 available.. So we waited for 2 hours for our queue number before buying my wife her Christmas present..

20th/21st/22nd/23rd Dec 2010 Mon/Tue/Wed/Thurs - Nothing much again as I was working.. almost fell sick again but manage to recover.. I found out that I had already took 8 days of MC for this year after I came back in March..

24th Dec 2010 Fri - Christmas Eve.. Went to work in the morning.. Went for the brief for my Sunday duty and went for breakfast.. After that saw the other department of my flight having Christmas present exchange.. Can see their department are more united than my department.. After another brief and off to home..

Year 2010 is ending soon and another year is coming.. This year was quite an eventful year for me.. Came back from Arizona.. its really a nice place and I will miss that place.. Went to Hawaii with Jerlyn.. Really enjoy that place too.. went to Batam with Jerlyn.. Nothing much there and didn't got much to enjoy there.. Went to Korat Thailand for work.. Gain a lot of suffering and experience from there.. Went to Koh Samui with Jerlyn.. Enjoy the relaxation and the Spa there.. So next year resolutions will be passing all my exams and hope to get a flat.. Making babies may have to delay again because of Jerlyn's career just started and me going for study.. Not sure if even got the time to make babies a not..

Koh Samui

Went for course about creative and fell sick after that.. Went to Koh Samui Thailand to celebrate my 2nd wedding anniversary and also the 4th anniversary with Jerlyn together..

21st Nov 2010 Sun - Rotting at home again.. Its becoming a trend to rot at home now.. think I got to start working out again.. Getting fatter..

22nd Nov 2010 Mon - Went on a course in base about Creative and Visual Methods for Breakthrough Ideas.. Caught a cold as all the 3 air con and the 2 fans blowing at me..

23rd Nov 2010 Tue - Sneezing away as the course continue.. Was quite interesting as in we can use mind mapping for your daily work and personal work too..

24th Nov 2010 Wed - Couldn't take it and went to see the doctor with Jerlyn taking half way family care leave to accompany me.. How come I don't have family care leave? The medicine was so powerful that I ate and knock out most of the day..

25th Nov 2010 Thurs - Knew that early in the morning there will be a call to go back to work.. As I was sick so I just went back for 1 hour and came back home to sleep again..

26th Nov 2010 Fri - While I went back to home to sleep on Thurs the rest of the guys work 12 hrs plus.. After working for the 1st day of the week, I was having my 2 weeks leave again..

27th Nov 2010 Sat - Went to collect the stuff from Teck Tong at his house in Little India.. The stuff was brought by Jerlyn online and send to Shermaine and then send to Elaine then to Teck Tong then to us.. Went to Chinatown to change our Thai currency and also ate the famous Fish Head in special sauce.. Quite good but a little spicy.. Went to buy Koi as Chinatown branch doesn't have much people.. Old people doesn't like this kind of stuff..

28th Nov 2010 Sun - Packing our clothes and stuff in the luggage for our trip to Koh Samui.. It will be our 2nd wedding anniversary and also the 4th anniversary together.. Because our wedding date is just two days different from our anniversary..

29th Nov 2010 Mon - Jerlyn went back to work for 2 hours when she was suppose to be on leave.. Then she came back and we continue packing and went to Chinatown with Jerlyn's parents and 2nd brother before going to the Airport for dinner.. The flight to Koh Samui was about 1 hour and 30 minutes but they still provide dinner on board.. I was quite full so I didn't manage to finish it.. After reaching Koh Samui, we took the Airport Transfer to our resort and check in.. Didn't do much as was quite late so we unpack and turn in..

30th Nov 2010 Tue - Wake up early for our breakfast and went to ask about any tour around the island.. Went to walk around and laze at Starbucks.. Then it started to rain.. heard that it was the monsoon season so it will rain every day.. So we decided to go indoor we took a cab to Tesco and walk.. Tesco is like Walmart but smaller.. Went to MK restaurant to eat our lunch.. I ate it at Korat before but Jerlyn never tried it and she like it.. After Tesco we went back to the resort and rest and went back to the streets to walk again.. Came back to our resort restaurant to see the lady boys show during the dinner.. The Mango Ice Cream with Mango fruit and Sticky Rice is super good..

1st Dec 2010 Wed - After our breakfast we went for our tour around the island.. we book this tour for 3400 Baht which is about 150 dollars .. Our driver is a guy named Toto.. He drive us around with 6 other people in this 4x4 jeep to see the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks, saw baby elephant, monkey and crocodile show, tried elephant trekking, went up mountain road to the waterfall but didn't swim, saw the mummified monk in his temple, went to the magic garden which doesn't feel magic to me, ate at the restaurant that can view 650 meters above sea level, see how rubber tapping is done and went to see the Big Buddha which is really huge.. We miss out on the show on how monkey climb up coconut tree to remove the coconut due to rain.. Overall it was ok only.. Maybe our hopes was higher than we expected.. Jerlyn was saying that we should also try the water activities too but we didn't.. For dinner we went to restaurant called Will Wait Restaurant to eat.. Didn't wait long but also didn't make us wanted to wait either.. Just that they were showing movies so we didn't mind waiting..

2nd Dec 2010 Thurs - Another rainy day.. After the breakfast we wanted to go out for walk but it started raining again so we decided to move forward our spa and go out later.. 1st was the Hydro Bubble Bath.. so the massage therapist told us to take off our clothes and wear the special underwear they provided and go into the tub.. I heard wrongly and thought take off clothes go into tub come up to shower then wear the underwear.. so after the bath the massage therapists came in again and told us to get out of the tub.. then I know I make a mistake haha so the therapist took a towel to let me cover up and go shower.. next was the body scrub.. they give us the underwear again but Jerlyn found out that the special underwear was able to see thru it after she caught the therapist looking at my family jewel.. But the underwear was so comfortable and I think for Thai massage they are more liberal and don't really cover us up for easier massaging so I'm not complaining haha.. After the scrub was the body mask.. they apply the body mask on us and then use those transparent wrap to wrap us up like we are salmon haha.. After the mask was the oil massage.. Really good she really make all my muscle relax after that.. The last was the facial mask.. After that they massage us again as we were stiff after doing the facial mask lying in that position.. Then there was fruits and tea for us after the whole session..
It was really better than the Spa we took in Batam.. Worth spending 4500 Baht which is 198 dollars.. Because they really make us comfortable during the whole session.. Not like the Batam one where the shorts they gave me to wear was so uncomfortable and difficult to massage too.. That is why I feel that Thai massage is better than other countries in terms of comfort and skills.. After the Spa we went to McDonald's to eat and then walk the streets but it rained again so we cut short and went for dinner at this restaurant called Khaosan Restaurant..

3rd Dec 2010 Fri - After breakfast we pack and took some pictures before checking out.. We went to Black Canyon Coffee for lunch and laze but it started rain again.. so we run back to resort and waited for our Airport Transfer to bring us to Airport.. The Airport really looks like an Outlet in Arizona if mistaken because it doesn't look like a Airport to me.. Finally ended our holiday and went back to Singapore.. It was really relaxing.. 1st time didn't feel stressful as they wasn't much things for us to do.. We were just lazing around and relaxing..

4th Dec 2010 Sat - Wake up today surf some Internet and uploaded photos of our trip.. upload till vomit blood.. the uploading is super slow lo.. Jerlyn went to meet her colleague to gossip about the week that she was not in.. Jerlyn's Mum think that she is too free haha..

Back in Singapore

Back in Singapore again after 34 days of detachment in Korat, Thailand..

3rd Sept 2010 Fri - Went to Paya Lebar Air Base early in the morning at 6am as I got a flight to catch.. sitting in a C130 Cargo plane for 4 hours is no joke.. Where everything is packed.. I couldn't move my legs and had to stay in the same position for 4 hours.. Glad that I reach there before time.. but it wasn't a good day.. 1st day reaching there and got to work till midnight.. what a good day to start on the 1st day..

It was quite a detachment I would say.. not my 1st time going to Korat since my last Korat det was 3 years ago in Sept 2007.. But it was the 1st time going there as my own trade.. and it was really an experience as my system is going to use in Korat for the 1st time as no one has ever done it before in the history of Korat.. and also really something happened and I as the only guy who knew the system well got to go find out the problems when 3 problems came up.. Everyone was like waiting for my answer what to do, how to do.. as I said this was also my 1st time involving this problems.. but all went well just that a lot of shit need to cover and clear.. Worked 4 days of long hours just to clear these problems.. Everyone was cursing and swearing what bad luck we had.. But I think these problems could have done a better way if there are more of our trade guys around.. Anyway its over and I didn't want to involve in the next detachment if there is another same case again..

Working wise I won't say its all bad.. There is times that there is really good days we could go in and wait and then go back to barrack and rest..

For off work events.. I had 5 weekends over in Korat and it seems like 5 months over there.. not much things for me to do over there.. the main activities there is sex and booze.. lots of it.. I think their sex industry is booming because of us.. For me who is married and don't drink at all, going there is somehow a torturing.. The only things I did there was going shopping (very limited every weekend going to the same place but still manage to buy good stuff for Jerlyn) , going for sightseeing once (because no one wants to go and its too far for me to go alone), going to Internet cafe (the only place that I can kill my time), eating (which i find good and cheap thou I don't eat spicy) and also visiting 7-11 for tit bits and drinks ( I think I went there at least 30 times).. And the Internet sucks big time.. they are still using 2G network instead of SG 3G network.. So I really glad I am back in Singapore with my love one now..

6th Oct 2010 Wed - Wake up early getting ready to board my plane back to SG.. took 3 and a half hour to reach back SG.. Looking out of the window to see if I had reach SG already.. After reaching Paya Lebar Air Base, we still got to wait for our main luggage.. waited about half an hour before the luggage came.. Thought that the customs should be quite fast but it took another half an hour.. The guy from the customs was so detail that he even check everyone laptop one by one to see if there is any pornography inside our laptop.. One guy was caught with pornography in his laptop and his laptop and passport was confiscated.. the other guy brought in pork floss which is illegal in SG had his passport taken too.. Finally came out and saw Jerlyn just arrived in time.. She gave me a surprise that I thought she would not done it but she did.. It was a challenge for her and she overcame it.. I'm proud of her.. Miss her so much..

Overall for the whole detachment I would say if it is 2 weeks that should be enough for me.. And I stayed there for 5 weekends.. really going to explode at the last week of the detachment.. If I was there any longer I will sure go crazy..

Leaving for Korat

Going for Korat Detachment soon.. will miss Jerlyn.. Went to Singapore Flyer with Jerlyn before leaving..

28th Aug 2010 Sat - Went to Orchard as Jerlyn went for her waxing.. And we went to Takashimaya Square to try moon cakes as Mooncake festival is coming soon.. After that we went to the Singapore Flyer as we have the free tickets from the Big Walk that we participated in July.. The views was not bad but maybe its still early in the day.. I think the sunset views will be better.. While we were in the capsule we saw something that make us realise that going up the Singapore Flyer ladies should not wear miniskirt up as it will be easily exposed when up there.. After the ride we went to Golden Mile Market to have our dinner and the main reason for me is to go change Thai Baht at the money changer at Golden Mile Complex.. Not bad as I managed to change 23 Baht for 1 Sing Dollar..

29th Aug 2010 Sun - Stay at home all day and rest as we had nothing to do..

30th to 31st Aug 2010 Mon to Tue - Working..

1st Sept 2010 Wed - RSAF day but nothing unusual as I still got work.. After work went to Takashimaya with Jerlyn again to meet Cyndi and Hansheng for dinner.. Cyndi wanted to celebrate my birthday for me before I leave Singapore as my birthday will be at Korat.. But she was not feeling well but she still insist in coming to meet us.. I manage to stop her from buying cake for me but make her to go to the taka square to try moon cakes again haha.. Cyndi keep trying the durian moon cake till her cough flare up again..

2nd Sept 2010 Thurs - Having a day off as the next day I will be flying to Korat.. Packing and watching drama with Jerlyn as she also took day off to accompany me.. Hope this detachment will be a smooth one and hope I can enjoy the place there.. But really hope to come back to Singapore soon to see Jerlyn again.. I will miss you Jerlyn..

Went for our 1st overseas trip after coming back from the States.. It was 5 months since coming back from Singapore and going out on a trip with my dear Jerlyn.. And it was since 5 months coming back that I realised that I need to change a hand phone.. Kinda regret why I didn't change my hand phone back then when my contract ended.. Maybe feel that my old trusty Nokia hand phone can last.. But after dropping a few times with lines on the screen and battery getting weaker every time.. I realised its time to change a hand phone but abit too late as I'm only 5 months into my contract and I only can get a non contract hand phone with more expensive prices.. Was eyeing the new HTC Touch 2 non-camera edition but a non contract will cost about 600 plus..

2nd Aug 2010 Mon - It was RSD today and everyone is working in one shift.. I was coughing and sneezing badly.. think I am getting sick.. Jerlyn's parents went to Thailand so got to buy our own dinner..

3rd to 4th Aug 2010 Tue to Wed - Went to work but feeling dizzy.. so went to medical centre to see doctor.. waited for 2 hours for my turn.. By the time I was feeling more worse than before.. While waiting to collect my medicine.. The medic told me that their cough syrup was out of stock so they won't be giving me the cough syrup.. If I really want it I have to go buy myself or come back another day to see the doctor again to get the medicine.. By the time I might be dead.. Rested two days at home and drinking my cough syrup from my previous medication..

5th to 6th Aug 2010 Thurs to Fri - Back to work but still coughing.. went to visit my parents on Thurs.. got to fill in one of the forms for my sister financial grant..

7th Aug 2010 Sat - Went to East Coast Park to rollerblade after sending Jerlyn's parents for dinner at commonwealth.. Went to eat Burger King with our blades on.. After that went back to fetch them and went home to pack for our trip to Batam..

8th Aug 2010 Sun - Wake up early and packed our bags to go for our Batam Trip.. Actually there was nothing much to pack as we only going to stay there for a day.. Just one set of clothes was enough.. Reached Batam around 9 plus in the morning.. Changed the currency and feel like richer as 100 Sing dollars can change 650,000 Indo dollars.. Went for the day tour.. Was quite normal as most of the place the tour brought us too was not really attractive to us.. Only the Polo Ralph and the Hard Rock shirts caught my eyes.. The lunch at the Seafood Restaurant really sucks.. Everyone was complaining.. The Resort that we were staying was normal.. the beachfront cottage was nice as we could see the views of the Marina Bay Sands from afar.. But the water doesn't seem to be clean and clear.. seem like dirty sea water to me.. The room was okay abit small.. Compare to the one at Langkawi that we stayed in 2007 the one in Langkawi was better..

9th Aug 2010 Mon - It the National Day of Singapore.. Here we are in Batam having our breakfast looking at MBS.. The breakfast was again normal.. Can be better I suppose.. After our breakfast we went back to room and relax as we are still early for our 3 hour Spa.. When we reach our Spa we were still early and got to wait awhile.. When its our turn we were told to changed into sarong and have our bubble bath.. Abit like the hot tub that we took in Langkawi but this was not hot and having bubble covering us.. After that we showered and lie on the spa table and get ready for the scrub and mask.. I think the sarong shorts that the lady gave me was too long that she keep pushing it up my thigh.. Compare to the Langkawi Spa they gave me a disposable brief I will prefer the brief as it is a better choice for spa than the sarong shorts.. After that showered again and had our oil massage.. the massage was not bad just that we couldn't shower again after the oil massage and it quite make us sticky while rushing back to the ferry terminal to take our ferry back.. Next time if we are to go again.. We will try another resort and spa and do the spa 1st and day tour later.. It will be better this way..

10th Aug 2010 Tue - Went for a course inside my workplace and was quite tired.. wasn't really paying attention to the lesson..

11th Aug 2010 Wed - Went for an understudy under one of my colleague for the duty that I need to do at the end of the month.. the understudy duty was to work from 3pm to 10pm but the actual duty will be working from 745 in the morning to 8plus in the next morning after handover the duty.. The duty was quite easy just that it will be quite boring so I think I will need some entertainment when I doing my duty later in the month..

12th Aug 2010 Thurs - Back to work in the morning again.. went to visit my parents again..

13th Aug 2010 Fri - Went to NUH MMI to take my Dental OPG.. the Dental OPG only took few mins and then I went to the canteen to eat with my colleagues.. After that my colleague send me back to work and a colleague from CAB came over to help me solve some issue that we had long ago.. Work till 7 in the evening before leaving work for home..

14th Aug 2010 Sat - Went to Jerlyn's parents' stall to eat breakfast and also send Jerlyn to work.. In the afternoon went back to fetch Jerlyn's parents and went to Pasir Panjang and West Coast to collect stuff.. After reaching home it rain heavily and 3 of us only with one umbrella and load of stuffs to bring up were wet..

14th July 2010 Wed - Went with my parents to BuangKok Medical Park to visit my sister and also went back home for dinner with them.. After the new distance fare for the SMRT started it seems that the fare is more expensive as I took 4 different bus and MRT route from home to Ren Ci..

15th July 2010 Thurs - Stay home all day to research for my course that I would like to study but didn't have much progress as most of the course is either no part time or are those that I am not interested in.. Either I start again and study another Diploma of the course I want to study or take a part time Degree course which is an engineering course which I don't like..

16th July 2010 Fri - Went to BuangKok Medical Park with my parents again to visit my sister and also to see the Social Worker..

A whole day course plus it was conducted in Chinese make Jerlyn grumpy as she was lacking of sleep.. I was enjoying the course as it was new and interesting to me but to Jerlyn she had already know about it.. After the MCQ test which was interesting and funny, it was the oral and practical test.. I was quite clumsy and blur.. The Tester was very long winded and I took longer than Jerlyn to complete the Test.. After the course me and Jerlyn went to Holland Village Coffee Club to meet Nicholas and Huijun to talk about the Batam Trip.. Had my Chocolate Mud Pie since the last one in McGrath Fish House in Arizona last year.. Huijun's tummy was getting rounder as she will be due in Oct.. The last time I saw her her tummy was still quite small.. We seems like we couldn't find the best package for our Batam trip cos of the Spa package and also the Timing to go.. But after all the chatting and stoning we finally found the one we wanted..

18th July 2010 Sun - Waking up at 5am in the morning for the Big Walk.. Jerlyn was feeling tired and we forgot to bring both our hand phone out haha.. It was our 1st time we went to the Big Walk since it started in 1991.. It was quite fun but I felt that it was a bit short for 5km walk.. didn't really had much exercise.. But it was a good exercise for Jerlyn as she had not been exercise for many weeks.. But overall it was fun but tiring.. So after the walk we came back and I treat Jerlyn to MacDonald's breakfast and went home for nap.. It is Xuening birthday too so later we will be going out for dinner to celebrate for her..

It was quite scary at 1st as I was not familiar with the car but after awhile with two drunk people shouting and egging me on I was driving real fast and in no time we reach the place..

Thinking about Future again

Thinking about the future again.. was chatting with Jerlyn about the flat that we applied.. We applied the flat at Jurong West called the Boon Lay Grove with 300 units for 4 room and 150 units for 5 room.. We applied for the 4 room and saw that 2575 applicants applied too.. That means 1 unit is to 8 or 9 applicants ratio.. See how many people wanted to buy flats now.. But I 'm not sure that I wanted to get the flat a not as it will be ready only in year 2014.. That will be 4 years later.. But if I don't get the flat, I got to wait till Ghim Moh and Clementi SERS flat to be out and apply.. Thou it will be faster as Ghim Moh will be ready in mid next year and Clementi in end of next year.. But there will be no guarantee that I will get it.. Haiz..

Also thinking about what is my future at my workplace.. Was thinking there 3 choices for me to choose.. 1st choice is to join another platform and work in Paya Lebar.. Which might be a good thing as change of environment may make me interested in my job again.. But the problem is the place is a bit far and I have no own transport so it will be very difficult to work there.. 2nd choice is to post to the Squadron and work.. This is the only place and people that I work hard and feel appreciated.. and also the happiest place to work at.. But now that most of the people at the squadron has all left the workforce so going back might not be the same and good choice now.. 3rd choice is to stay at where I am now and go for further studies and see what will happened when I got my degree.. But till now I still don't know what I want to study.. Haiz..

9th May 2010 Sun - Went to celebrate my Dad's birthday and Mother's day with them eating at the coffeeshop near my parents house..

10th May 2010 Mon - Suppose to be a day off today but work morning as requested by Kok Foong and after work went to Paya Lebar for briefing..

Jerlyn came home after work to take care of me..

2nd April 2010 Fri - Its Good April today and also Nicholas birthday so we went to Vivocity to have our dinner there.. Vivocity is really crowded not like Arizona Mill there.. still not used to it.. Jerlyn bought cake for Nic and we also went to the Dessert shop to eat.. quite nice..

3rd April 2010 Sat - Went to Chevrons to claim my membership fee and IMM to check for the temporary wardrobe.. After that we went to Tanglin Halt to meet my Dad and my relatives to go to Lim Chu Kang Cemetery to visit my grandparents..

4th April 2010 Sun - Met Jerlyn's Poly Friends Trisa, Liteng and Cecilia for lunch and chat in Plaza Singapura.. Trisa brought her boyfriend along whom I knew from my workplace.. Finally found our temporary wardrobe at Carrefour .. Then went to Chomp Chomp Market to eat and meet up with Jia Min and Chee Shuean for their upcoming Wedding as we were invited to be their sister and brother.. Also meet up with Lili and Fabian and Aerith, and also Linda..

5th April 2010 Mon - 1st day of work.. Jerlyn drive me to work.. reaching there the place feel like a ghost town where people were less than the previous time I was here.. Saw Hema and Kok Foong along the way.. My Superior told me that he had no choice to post me to Changi as he got no power to stop it.. And couldn't promise me when I could come back.. So knowing that it is a losing battle as what I say will affect the result so I accepted it.. But they didn't know when I will be going over too.. So I was like nobody's child floating in the air.. I was so called attached to here for the moment..

6th April 2010 Tue - Taking the bus to work for the 1st time since few years back.. The feeling was quite different.. And I still not used to the sweating part yet.. Still the same the management told me not to do my pass 1st as I not sure where I will belong to.. So since I don't belong to anywhere I just sit and do nothing finding things to read and not helping others..

7th April 2010 Wed - I was told that I won't be going over to Changi for now as Changi side no one want to come over.. After talking for so long with so many people involved.. Just no one wanted to come over and it was solved.. WTH.. so now still that I'm officially belong to my workplace again I started helping out with the work..

8th April 2010 Thurs - I heard that another changes will come again and now I had to takeover one of my colleague job when he posted back to his own unit.. No wonder the morale is so low in this place.. There isn't much people left anymore..

9th April 2010 Fri - Same old boring stuff at work.. After work and came home.. Jerlyn wanted to go Loyang Temple to pray.. So long didn't drive in Singapore roads feeling a bit lost at times.. Luckily still manage to find our way there.. After praying Jerlyn was saying that we haven't been going out like the old times when we haven't got married.. So I was suggesting something exciting that we did when we got together not long but feeling the excitement and also feeling the tiredness and embarrassing we decided to head home..

Back In Singapore

Back in Singapore.. The Feeling is different as coming back for home trip.. Thou misses Singapore as friends and family are all over here but there is also a special feeling for Arizona.. Staying over in Arizona for 2 year which is not long but spent some of the most memorable memories over there..

14th March 2010 Sun - It the Weapon Hi Bye dinner to welcome the in coming guys and also to bid farewell to the out going guys which include me.. I was presented with a Plaque and a statue of an eagle for the 2 years of service that I provided in 425th Squadron Weapon trade.. Thou I felt sad leaving Arizona but to leave the Squadron now might not be a bad thing as the management is getting out of hand.. But I sure miss the guys who we work hard and play hard together.. and also the beautiful Arizona but not the weather..

15th to 18 March 2010 Mon to Thurs - Still got to work as I got no leave to clear.. My Superior still want me to be the Shift IC saying that doing clearance and handing over can do it before work.. wanted to maximize me till the last day.. lucky I got friends who can help me cover the Shift IC duty while I do my stuff..

19th March 2010 Fri - Its the Hi-Bye Dinner for the Squadron and also the Ceremony for the new working scheme.. so we got to go in early to rehearse for the ceremony and the usual waiting game.. After the ceremony was over which took only 15-20 minutes but we used 3 hrs to rehearse we got to wait for the Hi-Bye Dinner.. Thou it was a Hi-Bye Dinner I don't feel any special for this event.. Its like a norm to me.. maybe I not really that popular in the Squadron that I will be sorely miss.. But I really feel sad leaving Arizona..

20th March 2010 Sat - Time to leave Arizona.. woke up at 3am to get ready for the Super Shuttle to pick us up at 4am.. Reach the Airport quite early.. The Hawaiian Airline Booth wasn't open yet.. As we are the only couple who is going to Hawaii and the rest either went back straight to Singapore or go New York.. so we are the only 2 that are going by Terminal 3.. The rest were going by Terminal 4.. But during the time when we were about to go in.. A few guys came to send us after they finish sending the guys in Terminal 4.. thou there motives is to go casino after sending us but I still appreciate Ming and Serene, David and Karen, Hwee Siong and Andrew to come send us off.. Thanks guy.. Off to Hawaii.. Reach Oahu, Hawaii at around noon time.. Arizona is 3 hours ahead of Oahu.. Rented the car and went down to Hard Rock Cafe for our lunch.. After went to check in Hotel and rest and went to the streets and beach for walk.. Bought Jerlyn favorite Cheesecake and then went back hotel and knock out..

21st March 2010 Sun - Went to eat Breakfast at Duke's and then went to Dole Plantation to see Pineapples.. There's a Pineapple Express to bring you around to see the Plantation and also a Maze for you to play with.. we didn't go to the plantation tour as we think that it should be quite boring.. Went up to North Shore and see the beaches.. It was very beautiful with clear water and sand and saw turtles in the sea.. After that we went to the only Outlet in Oahu for Jerlyn to curb her shopping craving.. Went back to hotel to rest and went to walk the streets again..

22nd March 2010 Mon - Went to Pearl Harbor Historic Site to see but didn't manage to finish the whole place as we have a Whale Watching tour in the afternoon so we decided to come again tomorrow.. Took a small yacht out to the sea to watch the whale.. there only 6 people coming for this tour package.. Including the Captain and his mate there only 8 people on the yacht.. Took quite a while before we could see the whale.. and we couldn't get near to the whales as they only come up to the surface for only 5 to 10 minutes to breathe and then they will submerge into the waters again.. Got to wait for around 15 minutes before they will surface again.. And it wasn't easy to spot too.. Overall it was a great experience for me and Jerlyn as it was our 1st time taking a yacht and see the whale up close..

23rd March 2010 Tue - On this day we went to a Submarine tour to see marine life under waters.. took the blue Trolley which is kind of a bus to the Pier.. Then took the a fairly large boat to the open sea before seeing the submarine surface into the water.. went into the submarine and saw quite a amazing things under the waters..The company wanted to have more man made reef under the water.. they sunk a plane and a ship into the waters few years ago.. The Tour Guide was quite funny too.. Overall was fun and an eye opener for me and Jerlyn.. After that we went to Pearl Harbor again to finish our tour.. Learn quite a few things about the WW2 along the way.. Since it was the last day in Oahu, Hawaii for us.. we decided to go see the sunset at the beach.. Waited about an hour plus before the sun set and took quite a lot of photos along the way.. It was really a beautiful place to come.. Maybe next time if there is chance to come Hawaii or even Guam I really don't mind coming again..

24th March 2010 Wed.. Taking the Plane at around noon time so we went to eat our final breakfast in Hawaii at MacDonald.. The Breakfast menu is very different from Arizona and Singapore.. It something like one of dish is Singapore but with Hawaii style.. Went to the Airport and have our last taste of Cold Stone Ice cream before leaving.. Finally left Hawaii and landed at Narita Tokyo after 8 hours plus..

25th March 2010 Thurs - Reaching at Narita Airport for transit we make a final shopping spree for the chocolate and local food and also MacDonald Ebi Burger before rushing to our next plane to take off to our homeland Singapore..

26th March 2010 Fri - Reached Singapore at around 1am.. Was really tired now.. luckily Jerlyn's brother came to fetch us and we went home and knock out again.. wake up quite early around 10am and didn't do much on this day as we were still quite stone and Jerlyn was busily clearing room for the new stuffs..

27th March 2010 Sat - Went to see my sis who have transfer from Pasir Panjang Nursing home to Ren Ci Nursing Home in Hougang.. Saw that the place is really better than the previous home and she really have some life in her than before.. Now got to wait for next month to see how the doctors will say.. Saw Jacqueline as she live in Hougang so we called her out for chat.. Went back to see my Mum as well.. she look the same as usual.. still as small and weak..

28th March 2010 Sun - Went to help Jerlyn's Mum stall in the morning.. It was quite some time when I went to help out.. It was tiring but fun thou..

29th March 2010 Mon - Which is today.. Went for a jog since the last time I jogged was 1 year ago.. was quite tiring but didn't feel the pain in the body.. might go again another day to build up my stamina..

Boxes Have Finally Left

Finally the boxes have left on 12 March 2010.. The Apartment is so empty now with all the boxes gone.. Now the thongs that are left is the furniture and our luggage and some of the kitchenware.. we try to put as much things into the 60 boxes that we had as Jerlyn and I will be going to Hawaii for holiday.. so now we don't have much clothes left with us..

27th Feb 2010 Sat - Went to Arizona Mill to shop again.. Saw Chin Yew and Elaine leaving when we reach there.. they said there is nothing to buy but we end up buying a lot.. Saw De Li, Qing Zhong, Jia Yuan and his wife buying Crocs and they told us the good news and we end up buying 4 more pairs of Crocs.. Saw Eugene, Boo and his wife too at Arizona Mill..

28th Feb 2010 Sun - It rain.. seem like the weather in Arizona is getting much like Singapore.. just that its colder and dryer here.. went to Base Exchange to walk again..

1st to 5th March 2010 Mon to Fri - Working Night.. As the next TDY drawing nearing.. got to do all sort of preparation.. and do those "What if" stuffs..

6th March 2010 Sat - Went to Desert Hill and Ontario Mill for the last time to do the last last minute shopping.. It cold and raining.. seldom drive in the rain in the States but its still alright for me as I'm well training in wet roads in Singapore.. I almost manage to go to the two places without buying anything for myself but until the last shop in Ontario Mill which is Hollister, Jerlyn manage to tempt me into buying.. if not I will break the records haha.. but Jerlyn always manage to tempt me which is good too haha..

7th March 2010 Sun - It was raining all day again.. Jerlyn wanted to go out as she didn't want to waste a day staying at home as we only left one more weekend in the States.. It was very cosy at home warm and nice but we still went out to Walmart to walk in the rain with me in T shirt and jacket and shorts only.. really cold but wearing our hood and walking in the rain hugging each other feel good and crazy too haha..

8th to 11th March 2010 Mon to Thurs - Working Day Shift.. haven't finish my clearance and my handing over.. but still got lots of job tasks to do.. and the best of it.. my superior plan for the deadline that is so near that he didn't think about there is still job task need to be done for other trades.. and we couldn't make it in time and he blame it on us.. lucky I'm leaving in a week time.. just feel sorry for the guys who are still here.. having such a superior..

12th March 2010 Fri - Boxes leaving so I change to Night Shift to accommodate my boxes.. saw 3 guys moving up and down in around 20 minutes and all our boxes were down in the car park ready to check and load in the truck.. But one thing that one of the guy drop our photo frame box and clothing box while moving down the stair.. but he was true enough to admit it and wrote it down on the list so that we can claim if broken..

13th March 2010 Sat - which is today.. got to go post office and change my address, MVD and Bank got to go on Monday.. later will treat Jerlyn to her favorite restaurant call Applebee for the last time as she will not have chances to eat anymore.. But heard there is an Applebee Restaurant in Singapore.. At night, the new guys will be here and there will be a welcome and farewell BBQ in Aldea again.. Think I will be forced into water again.. hope it will be warmer tonight if not it will freezing cold..

3 more Weeks

3 more weeks and I will be leaving Arizona for good.. Since coming over on the very day of March 29th 2008.. It was a happy and sad 2 years in Arizona.. There lots of things happened over when I was here good and bad.. Try out staying alone 10000 miles away from my family.. Learn to cook my own meals.. Wash my own clothes.. Drive few hundreds miles from one state to another state.. work in a harsh environment like extreme hot weather from 120 degree F to extreme cold weather around 30 to 40 degree F.. I also got married with my beloved Jerlyn.. Learn to take care of her when she comes over.. Go to many places with her to enjoy.. Sharing joy and sadness with her.. There so many things that I have done over here in Arizona that bring me more joy than sadness.. I really hate to leave this place but sad to say its time to move on.. thou not all is good about Arizona.. The very bad coming from the work here which I will not talk much about it.. most of the things are really good memories..

17th Feb 2010 Wed - Went back to work.. Getting more restless at work.. but still work as hard as those who just came from Singapore..

18th to 19th Feb 2010 Thurs to Fri - Feeling the stress from work as going back Singapore will have more shit to solve than here..

20th Feb 2010 Sat - Raining all day.. Having stomach upset doesn't know why.. went to Costco with Jerlyn and the guys to grab last items to pack into boxes..

21st Feb 2010 Sun - Stomach still punishing me.. Went to Arrowhead Mall and Lee Lee Supermarket with Jerlyn.. Saw Darren and family along the way..

22nd to 25th Feb 2010 Mon to Thurs - Work till like a zombie.. Not having enough sleep..

26th Feb 2010 Fri - A safety day for the Squadron and also naming ceremony for the new guys.. An event that just want to make people drunk.. On this day you will know many friends and enemies that you have..

Now that going back Singapore is nearer.. I also got to think about my future too.. To stay or not to stay.. that is the ultimate question.. The good thing about working in Arizona is there is quality time given for me to spend time with Jerlyn like most American companies focus.. They focus on families more than their work.. Whereas Singaporean focus on career more than their families.. And for me staying in the force does not give me time to build my family.. But to leave the force also need a lot of courage.. What can I do after I leave the force? Should I study and work part time after leaving the force? Does Jerlyn cope with her job well so that I should leave the force with ease of mind? Does the force let me do the stuff that I wanted to do instead of forcing more people to leave? Do I have time to spend with my beloved Jerlyn to build a family around us? Do I have the money to buy a love nest? There so many questions I couldn't solve.. What should I really do when I get back?
