Green Day literally

Its been awhile since i got back to palmy! to be exact its 5days and 3 hours counting.. Not being an idiot but juz felt that time is multiplying unknowingly! Hope it multiply more when i`m in singapore..

Couple of things have gone by, like Sonny's birthday celebration with guys from Roy st. at Lone Star. The food and company was gr8.. Ribs, steaks, chickens and not forgetting, getting the birthday boy tipsy.. I believe everyone did a good job in that, at least he was high even before having his proper meal. No fault intended, but oh well...

Had been walking almost on every evening to get the body moving.. It feels like a hus affair as everyone in the hus gets on their feet and walk as one. Went down for a pretty long one some time back, guess was around 5 km and we had some soccer time at roy st backyard. Then another juz around to the airport which shld be around 2.8km. The sunset on both days were beautiful.. as the sun sets away beyond the horizon and the moon and stars form up in line to brighten the night sky! Hardly see such sights in singapore..

Back to the badminton court today since the last played late last year.. This time, we were prepared with personal rackets and shuttlecock. Took some time to get use to the racket and the game play! but it was gr8 sweating out and playing non stop for 2 hours.. jumping around.. dashing up n down and laughing n joking with one another. Thanx Jacinta for the gr8 time and for booking the courts.. This shall be our routine workout.. Shld call more ppl to get a bigger game play!..

Green day it was for our hus walking session. Walked down to Pak n Save which was abt 10 ish km from home. Abt 2 hours plus minus walk non stop.. Mission was to go and grab some drinks, fruits and prawns for lunch/dinner tml.. Armed with a backpack, handphones and wallets. We made our way throu the hospital, husing areas and town. but lots of laughter and information shared around the hus mates.. This is a gr8 bonding time that the guys came up with.. Well, at least we are sharing information and getting to know each other better... Lionel was the chief for the day, as he was on the phone with Germs as we exit off the hus..

Here goes another day.. How i wish time wld fly faster! (On normal days at least)

This make the end of my holidays..

14th of Jan marks the end of my holiday in Singapore as i depart back to Palmy via Christchurch n Wellington.

The unwillingness to leave home seems to swell up faster then the other times when i gone back. Brothers and sisters came down to send me off at the airport as well as close frens! Started to missed my parents the moment i step throu' the gate towards the immigration officer.

This trip home sort of sort out most of my depressed emotion as well as straightening me up on what is it in my interesting life. Having the opportunity to widen my circle of friends and as well as forming a deeper bonds with current brothers and sisters. As cliques as it may seems, tough time brings ppl together as well as show us who are the real bros and sis we really have around us!

The Lagoonah family will be going throu' quite abit of changes this year with couple of us going overseas, nigel and deb tying the knot with their wedding on 010111.. Can't wait for that day to celebrate with my bro and sis.. Kina see them get together on that faithful day at Attica.. The interesting dance move that nigel showed me with deb.. hmm.... Nicole will be embarking on her journey to sydney to further her studies for a couple of years then to new york much ltr. Baby sis of the family is finally leaving home to pursue her dreams. Can`t wait to meet her up for some skiing or juz chilling with some drinks. Jack will be going into Airforce for his go in being the RSAF pilot! All the best and i pray for his safety and may he njoy his time in training.. I believe Eve will be there no matter what for jack.. Fir, is having his fight at work as he work his hardest to see his company get back on the safe track. Overwork and under paid, but full of passion and compassion.. Shyanne is having a fantastic time with her hubby and as well as njoying herself in the family gathering. Last but not least, Audie going on with her seafood pasta.. Wonder when will we get to see her in person..

Spend quite abit of my time with my baby cousin tis time round. Its been fun connecting with christine and understanding more of my little dear girl. We dun have to be direct blood related to show brotherly or sisterly love for one another. This is what i call family love; Care and Concern, Love and Protect. No matter what happen, these are the ppl we can fall back on when all darkness seems to engulf us within.

Also spend more time with my poly brothers and glad to see that everyone is moving into what they have been working soo hard for the passed few years in uni. Njoying life and as well as having a tast of working life in it simplest. Next wld be seeing them getting married! Think Raja will have to organise more events with safra SDU to widen the circle n as well as networking. Praying for good news to come year end!

Have a awesome time in SP camps and events. Met with loads of new frens and as well as old ones. Interesting character there is in the group n everyone is focus in their task given. Great ppl to work with.. Cld never as for any different.. Hope to work with them some how in the future.. More camps if my bone can carry! G.O.O.D.J.O.B! Goodjob!! Goodjob!!

Realize how messed up i was when i first got back to church.. Everything that lives in me seems to have crashed and burnt. Its definitely not a good thing. But nevertheless, a good church brings off the life in us and will always have a way to bring us back to where we shld be. With wonderful caregroup and brothers alike like Kelvin n Joab, to put be back on the right path. Life always seem brighter. I thank the Lord for giving me these wonderful ppl in my life that i may not turn into the devil i am. Ladies in the caregroup were kind and supportive as well, not to sure why, but never really see such motivated and supportive group of girls before anywhere. Its truly God sent.. Amen...

Well, these are juz some of the interesting time i had.. words are juz words which can never express fully of the gratitude of how appreciative of what i have in singapore and the ppl, bros and sis i have!

Thank you for everything...

Some past are never bad..

Was packing my bag to head back to the land of rubbish.. As i was going trouble my cupboards and folders, I found some documents from sec school and poly days.

N Guess whatelse i have spotted?

This is a diary that was given to us to write while we are cadets in OCS.. Had 2 of it but the one for the Cadet Wing Commanders' need to be pass on to the next guy. So this is my personal copy of what goes on in my 10 months of training to be an officer.

Reading it brings back a nostalgic feeling that i couldn't explain. My english command wasn't that good at that point of time as i converse mostly in mandarin. Reading throu' the diary, i couldn't believe that i have actually graduate from sec sch and poly with acceptable grades. God so help me in this. Haha.. Word structure and sentence must have left me to die by myself. But nevertheless, the main idea was the thots and feelings i had during that period of time. It was never completed but the entry i made made me feel good that i was once an OCT of Charlie wing. Many events like live firing and lesson plans hook back the memories i had with all my brothers in arms. These are definitely good and simple time where our sole mission is to survive 10 months training and be a better person for the government and the sociality that we live in.

Wonder if my other brothers will have their books. Wld be interesting to see what were their feelings back then! Haha... (Maggie Mee Parade, Confinement for something we din really do, Taiwan, brunei, social nite, etc... hahaha)
