Thank God today my com is fine.. Since morning had problems starting up my computer due to 2 progs i'd downloaded yest conflicting each other. AHH! Anyway managed to fixed it without using reformatting. =)

Sun gonna do H2 with Vincent. Come to think of it, the last time I did H2 was 1 yr ago during SOT graduation.. And it was with Vincent and Karen then. Haha. Man it's Pst Casey treat this weekend too! Looking forward to this weekend really. This Sat finally can sit down with CG for svc and go for fellowship! =P Miss doing so man..

Looking forward to duty this Sun and hoping to learn new things along the way. Many things happened before but everyday is a new day with new expectations. New attitude, new expectations!

This week is like a week of slacking and relaxing for myself! haha. One more week before I say goodbye to NS and hello to pink IC! =)

Anyway the weeks so far has been amazing especially this week itself. Walking down the street and you can just feel God talking and accompanying you wherever you go. And your whole mind is just filled with the visions and dreams He has catered for you and seeing it so clear! PTL really. I can still remember Pst Phil shared once that He was sitting by the beach worshipping God and out of sudden God just came by conversing with Him for the next few hours! And that was so WOW for me!(hope to have that kind of encounters with Him..)

Will blog from happenings at the weekend first. Haha.
Went down to Expo finally after the overseas sailing and so good to see all the pals there! Haha! And it's definitely great to be in the House of God again and yeap. Guess at that pt of time I was so excited and hungry that after eating a 1 foot long bread from subway I was still hungry. Scared a few ppl with my appetite. Lol. That weekend was also the SOT Graduation weekend, and congrats to people like Joelle, Wanxiu, Jean, Wenting, Vanessa, Michelle Lim, Wendy for graduating froom SOT!
After svc was movie screening for Money No Enough 2, did Delta with Jen. Think the last time I worked with her was like last year's Emerge for Logistics. Duty was generally ok, great at the start with the flow of people and filling up of seats was easy (free seating) but attendance was a killer. The movie was great and it was real funny but couldn't watch the entire movie because of walkouts etc... sigh. Had debriefed by Renjie at the end of the event and some points were noted really. Served as a reflection for most of us anyway the best part after everything was makan @ Sakae Sushi, Changi Airport!
The fellowship was great and things went on to a new level with Mic's 'high-pitched laughter'! ha. After makan we went to sent Melvin off for his 2-week reservist training in Thailand. Hope he's doing well there though. Yeap.

Monday was more low-key with being the last day @ work and basically clearing all my stuff back home. Gonna miss the ship and its crew and all the fun we had since I got posted there. Not to forget the troubles I had created haha.

Tuesday was alright, woke up late at 11am. Sometimes I wonder how at work I wouldn't miss the alarms but when it comes to my leave days I wouldn't hear the alarms AT ALL! Bad habit but good in a way coz I wouldn't be disturbed of my sleep! =) Spent the afternoon at Mayflower Sec for Step-Up Prog and man like Sunday duty, everything was good initially as they were real obedient as compared to last week.

Wednesday went down to warehouse to help pack cupboard and what i heard was true. The warehouse is dusty and not many wanna go there. Think I sneezed like mad over there while trying to pack the cupboards. But there was a sense of achievement because we packed more stuff and created more space~ Ended up we brought a lot of stuff back to Suntec office. Haha.

anyway that's about all for now..

Fri section makan at Suntec! Think this is like the 1st section makan we have and man it's gonna be fun! and in the evening Wheel of Life Seminar! but gonna wear office wear... rawr... oh well.. haha..

Very often recently, I just start thinking, so what's the plan right now?

On one side I will take one step at a time but it's too risky and so not productive, on the other hand thinking of the plan ahead but because of uncertainties and difficulties, I'm pulling back. Now I'm just doing what's given to me and acting upon it.

Life's never the same with me progressing to the next phase and especially for this, so many factors to consider. Many had suggested looking for this and that job, or suggesting I should take a break first etc.

Guess everyday God uses opportunities to tackle with your inner character such that you progress from it and not fall back upon those weaknesses. Well thank God I'm going through that! Haha.

Anyway more to blog upon when i come back yeap! toodles!

i'm so tired!!!!

Went to work today after 3 days of disembarkation off and so many things to clear up plus ord clearance to do.. Ahh! next 2 weeks gonna be madness with me sacrificing some of my leave days to do clearance, and ship's not ard n the week i'm gonna ord..

Did a blood extraction this morning.. Man the wound still hurts.. I was quite shocked to find such a thick needle used for the syringe and when the whole process was about to end, the needle was exposed, half of it's end in my vein and the other half to the air. I could feel air gushing into my vein and man it was painful la. x_x Sorry I seem to be complaining because it was really shocking for me.

Morning was good, but somehow things went so wrong for the afternoon and it really seemed like devil attack. Argh... Stupid thing that spoilt my day and it wasn't that fruitful in the afternoon anymore and i just lost the spirit to do things. Think at that pt of time I just lost the connection to God so instantaneously. Gonna work on how to be watchful over myself when it comes to mistakes made and being sharp too. Well.. =)

Woo.. today was a fun day ard with many fantastic people.. yea!

Anyway began the day with waking p late (and missing the morning PM, missed the alarm totally), but had a decent rest still.. Finally in ages too that I managed to visit my grandma and know that she's doing fine and enjoyed her company. =) [she's the best grandma I can ever ask for!]
Went down to Suntec office, meet up with Vic and Sharlynn for another workshop at Blangah Rise Pri (thank God He preoccupied my 3 days of disembarkation off with such interesting things really though tiring..) went back to office again and continue with undone work from yesterday and thank God Adora and Candice came to help and all's done!! (realised while talking to Adora that she's quite similar to Dora in character.. thought i was seeing a mirror image lol).
lastly the best part was meeting up with Sing Yee and Karen for dinner. Thanks for the treat Karen! <-- know u r reading this. =D
Had dinner at Sushi Tei at Raffles and man the food was real good and of course the company was the best with all the lame jokes from Sing Yee and thanks to Karen for some sweet advice on you-know-what yea..

I'm very blessed today really, because of leaders over me like Vic and Karen who really watches over my life and being there for me.. Though both different but somehow feel that the anointing from the both are somewhat similar.. Not sure how to explain that. And one nice thing is both are involved in social work.. so perhaps it indicates something though indirectly? hha laming ard.. can't really see things in this manner..

but today was real fun! thanks for being part of my life! =)

Now am kind of wondering if volunteering and social work is the way for me.. If so then things really came in too sudden for me though funny..
Got involved in a Step-Up Prog for youths at-risk in a sec school (courtesy of Vic) and dora intro-ed a support prog fr this organization called MILK. Mainly dealing with youths but of different categories..
Had fellowship with Vic, Sharleen and Gerald and even Eden and it brought me back to the days when I started volunteering, back in school and after graduation in CHCSA. It's really interesting to step out to help others and seeing how others are blessed by your actions. And its really rewarding to see the smiles on their faces. Yeap. And along the way interaction with other volunteers and making new friends does help to widen your social circle too..

Yea! I'm back from my overseas deployment after 45 long days out. And it's definitely great to be back home at the comfort on my bed, lying down to use my dear lappy (like now). =)

Quite excited initially because no more major sailings and all I'm looking forward to is my ORD in 3 weeks. *winks* after that will be looking and setting the path for my future. (no more under nice shelter of being fed and look after..)

Got a few takeaways from this trip though.. First, nature!
Got to see the high valleys and mountains, volcanic eruption (yea...), whales + dolphins + sea turtles out at sea (most see them only in zoos, not the wild), sunrises and sunsets, sky brilliantly lit by thousands of stars and occasional meteors flying across the sky. Many breathtaking moments of these, I can ask for more really.

Second, bonding!
Because of the ship crew working together and out at sea, it's this group of ppl to depend on for each other's survival that we really bonded through difficult tasks and supporting each other at down times. Though sometimes things do get messed up but in the end, it's still the people that matters in the end. All the way Vigour! =)

Third, WoW!
The trip itself brought us out to ports of Surabaya, Darwin and Bali, so definitely different things to see and learnt. The culture, landmarks, the people...

Fourth, food!
The yum yum pizzas of Australia, hot from the oven and it's so shiok when it enters your mouth with the melting cheese and grand ingredients on top of it. (hungry? hahah). The long missed A & W found exclusively in Indon and man, it's cheap! Miss the root beer! (many of us were thinking why it pulled away from S'pore which is sad la). And the seafood makan by the seaside watching the sunset. Amazing experience!

Fifth, shopping!!!
How can you go overseas and not do any shopping right? Haha! Anyway I'm a guy that likes shopping though it sounds weird for a guy... Got good lobangs especially at Bali and those roadside stalls, manage to get discounts through bargains and it's amazing how much you can bargain for the stuff you want and the things are nice too! =)

Lastly, God!!! !!! !!!
This one cannot forget... He'd been the one blessing the seas without sea states( so no vomitting for me) and the works done, simply amazing! And dreams and visions all coming back to overflow you, during QT and His presence overflowing you. WHen all this combined, it's simply so loving and you don't want to let it go really... ANd He had been great reminding me of my dreams and in those times, He seem to tell me that those are achieveable, with Him. How great really, that God tells you that He's with you and it seems like the r/s is nothing but a genuine thing.
Well, kind of feel guilty coz didn't take the chance to evangelise (got discipleship fm Vic =S) and well.. things are still great no mater what!


Gotta go, toodles peeps! =)
