Down at the beach

A fren of mine is going back to Singapore for awhile to visit as well as to njoy the gr8 food back home. So we decided to do something out of the ordinary!

We took 3 hours out of our saturday to plan for a a trip to the beach for the late afternoon, couple with camp fire and some beach cooking!

The couple of us with our camp fire...

Guess who is who...??The wave was actually pretty strong as we move out from the coast.

Lighting of the fire.. All natual materials and organic.

Having the sun in my eyes..

Whats going on over there.. haha...

My 3 hours preparation was for the beach cooking.. Marinated some sour plum chicken and made fried rice to be cooked at the beach. Not to bad actually...

Dinner is served...

The clear waters of the ocean juz calm the soul and clear our mind...... How i wish it can..~!

The beautiful sunset as we watching the sun goes down..

Last photo before we leave the beach for the day..

To be continue...

Long awaiting updates....

Its been almost 2 months odd since my last post! Been getting abit lazy with it as well as not much to write as things are not looking too bright down here.. Anyway, here goes with some of the photos i have recently...

Jack's Basic Training Graduation @ Waiouru Military Camp..

The team from Palmy..

After the morning celebration for the new army boy, we went down to the army memorial museum to take a look around!

This photos does bring back some training memories..

NewZealand Army has a rich history although they have never really have much wars fought on their home ground. Most of their wars are fought for others on their host ground. Many have die and many have made history all over the world.

Back to palmy on Earth Hour Night!...

Was our first time celebrating Earth Hour at our hus and it have proven to be loads of fun and great get together. Had some light sticks coming out from the bags and "romantic candles" being lighted up all around the room. Had to rush to cook dinner as we were out most of the day.

Watching a movie while having our candle light dinner..

Fried noodle and candle light! Not to bad for first try of Earth Hour...

To be continue...

Long awaiting update~

Been awhile since i load up something. Here goes....

Great Spy Experience (Singapore Very Own, Famous Band --in my point of view) Performing at live and loaded which is a live show on TV. These guys are teacher by day and musician by nite or whenever they ar free.. They are very good at what they are doing and personality wise, they are humble as well..

Some of my brothers from Church Care Grp. Went to Marina Barrage at Marina South for some self tour and gathering.. Interesting nite..
Ladies from the Care Grp.

Its actually a dam build in the city. Very nice and windy at nite. Wonderful place to bring the special someone over there to have a quite nite and juz spend the nite away..but rem to bring some drinks and sweater as it can be really windy and cold.

Back in Auckland, Stayed at Xbase, ACB for 2 nites. Not to bad actually as i was put into a 6 bedded room with a couple of ladies. Manage to speak to one from finland and she is really nice.. Drinks anione?

My last meal in Auckland city before i depart for palmy. 600km down south! This plate of Duck rice is really huge, alost gave me a tummy ach after i had it.. But was really nice! Think i miss singapore food already at this point of time. There after i went to Sky city to waste some time away and people watch. Was playing black jack at a table and there was actually a guy who played while he is drunk but walked away with $3000+++ of winning.. I think the trick is be drunk to win some cash.. hahaha...

Back in Palmy! Life is pretty slow and routine. But its still good to be back with the company of frens and such.. Wend for a fly with joe who juz got his PPL Nav rating. Congrats! So we went out flying to the east and do some sightseeing with my camera. This is castle point, there is a light hus at the tip of that land there. Its really beautiful and will be one of my road trip pit stop.

The water is juz breath taking...

This is Napier, where out "lunch" stop wld be. Had to make a full stop and use the toilet and such. So here we landed and chill! Its a nice place from the sky as its like a habour area.

Well, I wld say for the pass wk, lots of things have happened and its making me vex already. But like what we always like to say, things happened for a reason. Lets juz hope that the reason is strong enough at the end for me to go throu the whole odeal. Aniway, will be looking at getting my medical back and doing my flight test soon.. Juz had a check on my flight record, I had not flown for almost 4 months already.. Soo need to get back into flight and studies...

Leaving on a jet plane

Well.. its finally time to take my leave and go back to kiwiland to continue the fight for a better life! Pretty last min on my flight out but oh well..

Had a couple of stuff going on from the last update! Will update as soon as possible when i`m back in palmy.

Wld like to thank all my frens, brothers and family members for all your time. Its been really gr8 catching up with you guys and spending some quality time. Althou' time is not on our side, we shall have more in the near future.. Sorrie for those that i was unable to meet up.. Alit disappointed but hey, if you are coming down to NZ, juz drop me a msg, will try to meet u up and stuff..

All the best everyone and strive hard for this coming year! It can only get better when u are at the bottom.

Juz some updates of the past few wks

Having a party at a fellow brother's home.. Christmas celebration with the church members.. Its definately an interesting nite, meeting new frens and catching up w old ones. "C" party brought up the creativeness of everyone who attended and nothing beats the company of frens and guitar heroes.. hahaha Christmas day lunch at Nigels' was good as well! The usual brothers in arms attended and the easing off of the lazy afternn at laguna park. Juz another day of makan and chatting up.. And of coz Fifa09 was the hit of the day.
Went over to TCC near Harbour front area. Its on a reclaim land off the shore of west coast and its actually a developers' building. The view was gr8 and the nite was filled with light breezes and wondering people with their hands inter-locking with their partners. Gr8 place to bring your dates to, juz to njoy the nite away.. haha.. Makan at NTU with the Poly mates.. We sure have grown older. In a blink of an eye, the guys are almost done w their studies in NTU and i have only juz completed my first year of studies. Dangz.. but thats not the point, the point is, we are surely not getting ani younger and time have come for us to move to a gr8ter level of responsibilities.

New year eve at Marina Sq. I`m playing with Jack's iphone and am really getting fascinated with what the phone can actually provide to its host. Was suppose to be waiting for the fireworks to start but was getting bored and wld rather play w the phone..

My creation for the passed 15mins on the iphone.. haha.. Am no artist for start soo dun complaint.

Gathering of the 58/04 OCC Charlie Platoon 1 officers. Meeting place was non other then Yaoqing's work place deep inside Lim Chu Kang area.. Yup, its the resting place for the dead! But it does have some interesting ground that have yet to be explored by many. Aniway, its wonderful to catch up with the guys, many who are still in the arm forces and married and many are like me pursuing for a high level of studies in their respective places. Hope to be able to keep in contact w eveyone and true frens are hard to come by..

Will be soon going back to Nz for my 2nd year of studies.. Due to my injuires, things have change and not to sure whether its a good thing or bad. But since it has change, there is only prayers and hard work to bring me throu whatever lies ahead of me.

There will be a few more updates i believe before my flight back to Palmy.. At least there is a hus gathering of The Morning After at my place this sat.. Stay tune..
