30th Birthday

I reached my 3rd decade on earth.

What have I achieved during the last 29 years of my life? I got myself a lovely wife whom I think she is the best of the world for me. Can't imagine that I have been married to her for 2 years and 9 months. We going to celebrate our 3rd anniversary soon in Bali, Indonesia. Thou it will be delay due to my studies but I'm sure we are looking forward to it. Never thought I would marry early at the age of 27. But I never regretted it. Till now, marrying her is still the only best thing that I have achieved.

Now I'm trying to achieve another feat which is to get my degree. After starting working, I have never thought of going back to study, until Jerlyn encouraged me to go for it. I think now that working and studying really took most of my time with Jerlyn but I still trying my best to spend time with her.

Another big achievement will be going into parenthood. As I mentioned that we have been married for closing to 3 years, it time for us to start a family. The only thing is, are we ready to be parents? Jerlyn still having some doubts. For me I not sure about it too. As I am still working and studying at the same time, being a dad would sure stressed me out. But as I reached the 30th years of milestone, I should take up more responsible too. Having a baby is not a easy job, trying for a baby is also not that easy either. So its better to let nature take the course while I take the condom out of the way.

Life is getting more challenging when I pen down this post.

Back from Pekanbaru, Indonesia

I'm back from Pekanbaru, Indonesia. So happy to be back. Saw my wife Jerlyn at the Airport terminal arrival hall make me feel really happy.

It started from 6th Sept Tuesday. It was suppose to be 5th Sept Monday but was delayed to Tuesday. so I managed to go for my last lesson on Monday before flying off. Monday was a busy day where phone calls kept coming in. I went to school to purchase the textbook for my module and half way calls came in asking to collect stuff. So I went down to school first, had my lunch there, bought the book, and then went to outside of my workplace to wait for the things to be passed to me. Then at night another guy came to void deck of my flat to pass me another stuff. Tuesday came and I'm off to take cargo plane to Pekanbaru. It was quite near as Pekanbaru is only 45mins away from Singapore. I reached there with all the stuff that is needed with me.

The hotel was a four star hotel (the hotel signboard had four stars on it) with a lot of facilities in it. There is a hot pool, cold pool, sauna room, steam room, oxygen room, back rub area, gym, swimming pool and also massage facilities too. But the hotel massage is really expensive so I went to those massage parlour just outside the hotel to massage. The hotel is surrounded by shop houses where there restaurants and massage parlour. I tried the ear candling which I find it not bad. It really make me hear better and clearer. the body massage and the foot massage was not really that good. I still prefer Thai massage. The food is okay but is a bit expensive. Who would know the food here cost about the same or slightly higher than Singapore. I think its the frequency of us going over there and make their prices going uphill. There are 2 malls that I went but nothing much to shop. I managed to buy one polo ralph shirt for myself and one for Jerlyn. I also managed to drink my favourite A&W root beer float twice. Other than that, there nothing much to do here. It was really boring for me, other people find their entertainment by playing mahjong, going for disco, going for soccer, going for sex workers, while I play games and chat with Jerlyn everyday.

What can I say, I very glad to be back. Now got to start reading notes and revise for my test, go for my second appointment for the HDB, and also do my identification card as I reaching the 3rd decade in the earth soon.

Going overseas for work again

After my exams, I went back to work in the new environment. Can't say it was totally new to me, I did spend some time in this department in year 2006/7 although the department is no longer existed anymore. Over at the new department, I feel lost at first, not knowing what to do even though I know what this department does. Maybe I was used to my old department, that why I feel weird over at this department. I was not sure I feel happy leaving my old department as the planing is getting more ridiculous, or feeling sad that I am leaving my comfort zone. Tasks came and misunderstandings keep popping up, working in this kind of environment make me consider why I want to put up with this kind of nonsense.

Going to my overseas stint again in Sept. I do not know why I always go overseas in Sept. This time to Indonesia. Not sure what to expect over there, I hope it would be better than Thailand. Everything was last minute, taking injection was last minute, going to brief was last minute, packing luggage was last minute, air tickets was last minute too. Even the date of depart changes last minute. Hope I can come back on time, that is the most important.

Went to buy moon cake with Jerlyn at Takashimaya square. This has become our routine event every year. Actually I was the one who wanted to go every year, Jerlyn was dragged by me to go haha. Our mission there is to taste the best moon cake before we bought it home to eat.
