80k servicing...

Brought my baby for her health check up today...
Was told that the work quality vs price is of great value...
Wonder is it perceived or actual, well, nobody would know I guess hehe.



Open up...


Off comes the shell and all the old belts...



Still awesome when I see my disc brakes n calipers :)

New pump, belts and coolant soon, yummy!
I hope this will solve the air-con issue...

Please make a nice non-camera phone for me...

Dear - Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt.

I love Windows Phone for its customizations ability and how it compatible it is to it's mother OS, Windows. The iOS is also one of my favourite for the ease of use and simplicity, making it so popular amongst everyone. Also Android has captured the imagination of everyone just because it is Open Source. That alone will give users, programmers and phone manufacturers unlimited creativity for future developments.

I just wished that somehow 1 day the world can see the collaboration between theses great wonders that you guys have created and that'll really be something.

Right now in my eyes there's no clear winner. Although truth be told it's not about winning, but as long as there is a 'pie', one that everyone wants a slice of. Perhaps I could shed some light on one 'pie' that most people would disregard.

Non-camera 3G phones...

For countless times, I've been looking for many many phones that can connect me to the world at the touch of my fingertips. One that does not have the irritating but useful function of the Camera. The very plain reason is because my workplace doesn't allow it.

It's pretty simple to understand, I could be from the DoD, Militatry, someone who works in the High Court, certain departments in Hospitals. I could also be someone who deals with sensitive Chemicals, Data, Training Materials. Maybe somebody who is a Prison Warden, Government Official or just someone who cannot have a camera at work.

So I'm pleading on behalf of theses great men and women, those of us who sacrificed our time at work in 'secrecy' and discreetness. Please collaborate with mobile phone companies and create a non-camera 3G phone that has Bluetooth, WiFi, GPRS, GPS, EDGE, QuadBand etc. all the functions WITHOUT a Camera!

I strongly believe that we are no less deserving than those who work out of theses sensitive areas, I believe this would be a wonderful reward that anyone could give us. Yes, we might not be majority of the market, but does this mean we are of less importance? This point really grieves me, who is taking care of us? Society doesn't accept us anymore after all those sacrifices? I do not want to believe so.

On behalf of those whom are standing in my shoes, I ask you, please. Help us! This pie is left untouched...

Yours Sincerely,
Leonard Chia

Nice ending for a nice year

So 2011 is here and there goes 2010!

Looking back, I think I've achieved a whole lot in 2010.

It still feels like a dream when I think of it as I started my year in San Diego. We achieved Operational Readiness even as we migrate back to Singapore. I've learnt a lot this year. From a normal End User all the way up the EM Data Admin and even SM Planner, I think nobody had raised up this ladder so fast, all within a year!

Also the sails!!! URGH!!! The wanting to puke and bad bad camaraderie with the Seamen. Just thinking of it gives me the shudders...

Not to mention I've almost attempted all the IPPT sessions that are available! My OC actually recorded it! 2 Pages long! From Apr to Dec. Finally I've passed, and with flying colors on the last try! Thanks to all that had  not given up on me. Thanks to those who paced me, ran with me and trained with me. Let's see if I can continue training and get a Silver timing next work year?

That brings me to the little "pact" that Judah made for me with God... I can't remember clearly was it a verse, chapter or a book. But I'm gonna try my best to at least finish a book of the bible. I will finish it, and I'll find one book that I've not read or not completed before! Pray for me =)

My new year resolutions?
Work less, eat less, 'emo' less.
Service more, cell more, exercise more.

Let's see how things goes this year!

BTW, The Tourist was GREAT! I love Johnny Depp's acting. It's just absorbs you attention and throw you off at the twist. The casting was perfect for this show. Angelina Jolie is the right choice, giving the mysticism, making you wanting to know more and what's next. 4/5 stars! A little more action, a little more humor and it'll be 5 stars =)

Happy New Year all! God bless =)

Thanks for a wonderful Boxing day!

Thanks Guys n Gals for the joyous time.

Like what Pastor Preached in the morning, if there is joy in our hearts no matter what the event or external factor (like the rain) happens, we would still have joy!

I thought that the timing, venue and everything was perfect. Thanks Shermaine again for organinsing/co-ordinating! Next time we'll get you to organise more! haha.

It's been a long time that I've hang you guys and I'm really grateful to have that opportunity yesterday.
Hope we can do it more often! New Year? CNY?

Hang me now!

Today was such a torrid torrid day!!!

And to think I could take a breather... I actually pushed myself to run longer last night... Oh my...

Can you imagine the kind of responsibility when you step into the office and everyone from every department is waiting for your help??? I have 2 office that I report to and every time I get back to either one the phone just rings and rings out for me... My mail floods and floods... URGHH!!! I hate mails but can't live without it!

I enjoy the person-to-person style of working but it's time consuming and things don't often happen the way you want them to be in the end...

Tomorrow's gonna be a better day I hope...

Got a job offer... I'm very very flattered and surprised... So many people that are many times more knowledgeable and well verse than me... why am I offered over them? I think this is quite a nice pat in the back... The pay is so much higher and the people working here looks so much cheerful and less stressful...

Sickly, I have 2 more years of NS liability... I just hope that Mdm Lee would be still around to rope me in by then... Thanks mdm Lee, you're a very very nice person.

Tml a better day? Tml could be a better day... Tml WILL be a better day!

So long... So long...

It's been such a long time since I've update...

Just couldn't find the energy and time... I don't even had time to read you guys' blogs...

Where to start? Perhaps the sickening sailing I have to go through?

Still harping on the no money wanna buy aircraft situation... But I'm pretty pissed off now by almost every little thing...

Family, work, church... I need a sanctuary.. or is it just me?

I really hope not, I've reflected so much and prayed... left no stone unturned... just couldn't see a way out... Perhaps I have to let go of certain things?

Today really had the urge to go up to HQ and slam the release letter at my boss's table... So many things to consider... so many roads i have to lay before I can do that... omg..

Really love this song...

For you my dear.... Miss you...

It's been awhile...

Notice something different?

Less chirpy, less energy, less time & less frens...

All because of work?

I hate this... Stupid Organisation, want to buy A/C no money to pay maintainers...

If I'd stay in my old platform, I'd have more chance to go overseas, less time spent on OT and my overseas allowance is at least $80/day.

Compared to now... Every 14 days I could only get $200(not even confirmed B&W) but preparation, un-preparation and so so so so so much OT...

I don't know what the organisation is thinking... Why don't they treasure their man, we are their assets yet still willing to give up our morale and contentment in our jobs...

I tell you, it's a joke... A damn bloody joke... I didn't sign on for this...

Stop saying I'm judging you... When you f***ing open urself to so much flak, be prepared to get shot down... your arrogance and ignorance is damn f***ing outright irritating and piercing...

I only react when there's something to react... I don't have nth better to do to make enemies and sometimes i just couldn't be bothered... But you've gone too far and really becoming more and more like an ass... So please, F*** off if not I will...

Church Camp

It's been awhile...

I wonder what will happen?

I miss you, really miss you...

Just giving myself a chance, if nothing really happens, then I'll know it's a sign for me...

korean guy singing all i want for christmas with subtitles

Return me...

My Loreal Eye Roller and Mineral water...

I need them...

It's been a mth... I need you back.... Please come back...

Ladies & Gentlemen

I'm back!!!

After the 20++ long flight, I'm finally back!

Phew, lots of catching up to do and unpacking and letter ripping action =p

Hey, it's gonna be busy, so if u're interested, drop me a message and let's meet up!

Today...

IE people have returned! Irene jie jie must be very happy to see Fuqiang =)

Good to see you guys back, must have been tough with so many media people interfering with work. Not to mention DPM's presence will increase the stress level.

Good job guys!

Listening to 93.3, I miss it sooooooooo much!

Lazy to pack... Still gotta arrange the car to be sold... Urgh... I'll miss San Diego! Such a lovely nice place!

Treasuring what I have now... It's really some of the best moments of my life =) Another reason to feel lousy.. But I can't show you... To let you feel better... I cannot let you know... Thank you for all the sweet memories... My sweet dear dear...

It's time

Finally, it's soon time to go home!

Even going home, the troubles don't stop coming... Oh well.. It's just part of life.

No matter how tough the road ahead is, I'll tear them down one by one, slowly and purposefully.

Some things are meant to be, I realised that only recently. Hope it's not too late.

Now I can't bear to leave San Diego. Such mixed feelings. Why can't human beings feel simpler?

See you guys soon!

I'll miss you...

Feels like the whole world is against you

Yesterday and this morning... It just seems like one of those lousy days... =(

How come it can never seem to be that we're just beautifully close friends? Must the world see us in that way?

I am really puzzled in what their eyes have saw...

God! Please help!

Thank you for your love

Though it's not even V day yet, not even my bday, but i've received both gifts... Thank you for your love. I feel so touched. Love the bento =)




Now i got a new watch and it's metal strap!!! Cool!

Feel bad for Singapore

So many of us love soccer. Love to watch, play and support the game.
Yet the sport have not been a mainstream event in Singapore... Nobody can make a living as a soccer player/coach/manager... The Government has not figured out the real concept of soccer - FREEDOM.

Why must the stadiums be controlled by SSC? Sell it to companies which then will manage clubs, bringing in foreign talent would be at their own costs and less sore the the fans.

There will be a heck more jobs created. Imagine the scouts, physios, merchandises and all the money involved. Young men/women would think about Soccer as a career because wages can increase, they'll have a chance to be scouted.

Yes, selling the stadiums would cost no more stadiums for ppl to run or use freely. The benefit outweigh everything else so much. I don't understand why this is not done.

More fans, more talent, more revenue, more passion to be in the game, more SEA games medals and if it succeed, a place in the Olympic Finals.

This question will cease to exist: "Why nobody wants to be a full time soccer player?"

I just feel bad that S-League just involved 2 foreign teams - degrading our people and quality of soccer.

I say sell the stadiums, let clubs managed by companies, just like EPL or all the other leagues in the rest of the world.

Want, Need, Have, Had...

Want to sell my black electric guitar... Seems that I don't really know how to play electric style... All I do is strum the same way as the acoustic one =( Other than plucking and melody, there's really nth I can do with it =(

Want to buy a car.. Miata is only USD1k, so is MR2, Celica and RX7 =)
When I'm going back I can sell it to the 2nd frame guys which really I won't lose much.

Night shifts been fun so far. Probably because the management are pressured by us. So the flying stays low, the servicing are getting easier and everything starts falling into place. Thank God!

Missing isn't enough, missing for the right reason, for the special yearning and not for the fun or words of it. Touched by the little sunshine =) Love the card!!!!!!

Gym time! Gym time!!

Heading back

Right!

So it's been a whole week and a half back in SG and I loved almost every minute of it. Except for the selfish sport that ruined a little part of the "vacation", meeting you guys was AWESOME!

I'd wish I could stay a little longer, just a week more would do. So I wouldn't miss out so many of you. Well, for those whom I could "surprise", thanks and cya again in April, this time no surprises =x.

For those I've missed, I'm so so so sorry, you'd have to look at my schedule to see why in the world I could miss meeting up or surprising you. =(

Anyways, it's gonna be more gruesome this coming months, just because we're back from our 2 weeks break. Thank God I didn't stretched the total 2 weeks and have at least 3 days to rest.

So it's "Here I Come San Diego" and "So Long! Singapore!"

Hope to hear from you guys soon! Signing off from Changi Airport T3 Gate A15 =D
