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

Brrrr~!

It's getting cold over here...
Everyday it's about 10 to 15 deg C. At night is worse.

Gotta buy more thermal wear soon =(

How strong is your faith?

When Moral Courage is called for, when the time for you to do the right thing instead of the worldly-accepted thing?

At that flash-point, what would you do? During the time of decision, that make or break instant.

Do you Honor God or plead guilty and hope for forgiveness?

You won't have time to pause and pray, it's not your world to slow things down. You can't evade the pressure but it piles on you. What would you do?

Bodily your mind tears you away from your Morals. Yelling and screaming at you, only to cover the whispers of the Holy Spirit...

The call to Moral Courage is a tough one, I admit that I can't always make the right choice, but as an authoritative figure, you should start making them.

Practice makes perfect, hope you'll stop figuring and start understanding... Don't make us suffer under your charge.

God showed me...

If God's not real...

San Diego wouldn't rained today, as it has been not raining for the past how many months since I've been here.

The rain wouldn't stopped when I reached Mt. Soledad - Memorial for Veterans.

The clouds wouldn't peeled to let the Sun shine on the Cross

I've wouldn't STUMBLED upon the Windansea Beach area and got an ULTRA cheap and nice haircut there.

I've wouldn't have found another nice rollercoaster park in the middle of nowhere.

The rain wouldn't start pouring when I left the area.

I wouldn't have stopped at my favourite IHOP restaurant for pancakes before heading back home.

Well, if God wasn't real... What would happened to your day? Take a little time to reflect, think and give thanks to God. I give thanks for the little things that He has done for me and I'll glorify Him with His work of art:

Holiday Season

It's the holidays!

Yesterday's Thanksgiving and it was a cool day of rest for me =)
The night before though we had to work, I had a swell Singapore style dinner =)
Though majority of the gang didn't really know what's Thanksgiving about, I thought that spreading the fun to all =)

So it was Turkey dinner at my place, we had lots of food. Derrick bought a GIGANTIC Pizza which I've no idea how he put it in his car. Wang baked his 1st cake for our birthday boy!

I guess no matter where you are, deep down you'll never change. I strongly believe so, our roots will never change. No matter how far I run, I'll always belong...

Today's Black Friday. It's an unofficial holiday, most of the people here are not working lest those working in shopping centers. If Singaporeans are Kiasu-s, Americans are Kiasee-s.

As early as yesterday afternoon while the shops are closed, a long queue had started to form up with tents, tarps and mattresses laid on the floor all trying to be the 1st few to get into the shops so to get the cheapest deals.

Can't blame them really, the sales here are REAL sales. Not like Singapore, there are 50% to 70% off when this kind of sales go on. Some rare cases 90% off can be seen.

Don't worry, I remembered you guys and got something for all. BUT please don't expect them to be expensive stuff ok? I'll go broke if they were.

So I've shopped today and I can go sightseeing tml! Church on Sunday and I think i'll be re-vitalised for the rest of the mths. Christmas is coming too... How I wished I'm there with you guys, probably discussing on what to do, where to go etc...

Nobody's gonna buy me any gifts this year =( I'm so sure of it...... And it's nobody's fault too. How sad...

Dramatically Sick...

It's the flu season...

The whole building is filled with flu =(
Right now i'm coughing and suffering the lethargic-ness and feeling so lousy...

Just finished USN's Fire Fighting and Damage Control final day and I almost died.. Can't believe that I been thru that. Thank God.

Gotta head on back to work again after lunch. I hate this kind of stupid scheduling... 3 Days of Fire Fighting training, drawn away from my A/C servicing. Gonna do the setup of the inauguration after that.

Sat and Sun are rehearsal days.

Had to rush thru the servicing last sunday for nth because the ETR was extended... Those ppl planning are real ASSHOLES... They just don't think properly...

Right now what I really nid is to have a mth of rest, UNINTERRUPTED rest. Time to work out and go on a proper diet... Feel so bulged right now.. Bad eating habits and no time for exercising... Pray for me please...

Hooked on watching Dr. House. It's just such an interesting show. Love the drama =)

So it's come to this...

Well well well... Things didn't turned out to be what as expected...

Kinda sad coz some stuff have to come to an end one day... Things will nv be the same...

Went to Los Angeles last week!!! OOOHHHWEEEEE!
Took lots of photos! Pretty cooL!

Went to Universal Studios!
I know u guys will be so envious. I saw David Schwimmer from Friends!
Gone onto the actual set of Desperate housewives and all the rides from the movies.
Saw the Stars with Handprints on the Walk of Fame.
Went to the Kodak Theatre, had a whopping great meal there.
Of coz I also took a few shots of the famous Hollywood Sign.

Of coz stopping at a few of the Premium Outlets for some shopping =P

Really wished you guys were here to share the fun with me.
Coz at the end of everything, it just goes so quiet... The deafening silence and the loneliness is almost overwhelming... I need you guys man...

Will post the pics on FB soon... If FB doesn't screw up...

Arrgh

Sent out some postcards... Wonder when will they reach...

Facebook is being a pain again.. The photos just won't upload properly... Tonnes of them to share =(
Guess you guys gotta wait for quite some time for the updates =(

Give Thanks

Thank God for my hands...

I've just realised how precious my hands were.
Without them, I couldn't work...
Unable to cook the wonder meals.
Not able to play my guitar, xbox or computer.

Imagine bathing without hands...
Changing my bed would be a huge problem...

I guess I'd be a bitter bitter person without them...

Perhaps God knew that I would be and He let me "abuse" them without taking them away!
It just occur to me that my hands had been thru so much...

Thank You Jesus for giving me my hands =)

What did God gave you today?

I wish....

That xx will xx xxxx xx xxxxxxx... Cox I xxxx xxx xx...
That this itch and rash will go away...
That you guys are here with me and I can bring you guys around to play...
That nights are long and days are short or nights pass slowly and day breeze past...
For my shipments to arrive on time or early...
That you will understand... Just understand...
Everything will go my way...
That God will find favor in me...
That I'm always with Jesus...
That I'll do the right things all the time...
That xxx xx x xxxxxx xxx
That Christmas comes early and last long...
That I can go home soon... <- that's a 1st...

Seriously I miss everyone back home. It's killing me inside when work ends and I cannot go out coz it's not safe to roam around...

Miss those Dim Sum suppers, impromptu dinners, gatherings and lots of karaoke sessions.

This year is the 1st year I'm gonna miss celebrating Christmas with church ever since I received Christ. It's also the tenth year too... Hopefully things just go my way for once....

10 days...

Day 10 in San Diego...

Hmmm... everything seems to be settled down as if we've been living here for quite some time. I guess when there's work to do, alot of things and concerns will be pushed aside.

I've done all I can to make myself feel at home, but then still without YOU all it's not the same =(

The weirdest thing is my cell group ministry here has not started! =( bummer... Everyone's too busy with their own stuff and there is even very little communications... Some ppl don't even seem to be who they are here... Good and bad I guess.

Anyway, bought a new Full HD LCD TV for my Xbox! WAY too cool! Contemplating whether to get Wii and get my neighbors to play together. Maybe buy it on sale and bring it back to SG? Hehe.

Driving over here needs a little getting to use to. Not only everything's on the opposites, the rules are pretty funny... When there's a STOP sign, you REALLY gotta do a complete stop! Usually they are always at the cross junctions.

Guess what'll happen if 4 cars from 4 directions stopped altogether? Who dya' think will go 1st? No traffic lights!

Heading to Las Vegas tml! Weeee! Not gonna go to the casinos of coz, going to see the Nevada desert, Cirque du Solei, STOMP, Theme Parks, MGM Grand and of coz the Outlet Malls for MAD MAD Discounts!!! It's the LABOR Day weekend! WOOOT! Hahah.

Pray for safety as it's 330 miles journey and we'll be setting off early morning 6AM. Pray that there'll be enough rest for the drivers and good driving conditions =)

I'll post the pics when I get back =D

Finally in San Diego...

Yeap... in fact it's 5 days after.

I'm for the 1st time starting to feel home sick...
Not literally "home" sick but more of "Singapore-sick".

Probably because I won't be able to get to see YOU, yes YOU for the next 6 mths?
Rumors are there's gonna be an extension and it seems very very likely =(

Arggh! Everytime I go for groceries, or listen to my mp3s, I think of the wonderful wonderful times I had with you guys that maybe I took for granted...

Haven't really started working, this 1 week used for settling down. So instead of me rumbling about how much I miss you guys, let's see what I've done the past 5 days or so!

25th
Landed in SD, went to make Miltary ID - this is a super super cool piece of card. There's discounts from alot of shops, no tax and have special access =D. Checked into the base's Bachelor's Quarters - very nice apartment. Internet, kitchenette, toilet, double bed, wardrobe and a mini living room. Pretty much of what I have now in my condo-like apartment. Bought some microwave dinners to last for the next few days.

26th
Went to bought furnitures for the condo, went to IKEA! Hehe, it's almost exactly the same as the Alexanda Road one! Only a little bigger, other than that the layout, prices, items is all the same! For a while it didn't felt like USA =P Even the restaurant serves the same food! Meatballs! Made a local bank account. Now I feel like I'm a US Citizen... Left with SSN and Driver's licence only...

27th
Moved into the condo i'm living now! WOOT! I love it! Finally I can decorate MY OWN ROOM and call it MY OWN HOME! No Restrictions! Yea. It's very very nice. But soon to find out it's a really huge pain... Countless times of going to supermarkets, Ikea and back and forth just because the car cannot put so much stuff coz we're all sharing cars. zzz

28th
Continuation of yesterday... Setup the internet and stuff, and finally settled down with the room thingy... Went to 99 Ranch, an asian supermarket! MILO!!! OLD TOWN WHITE COFFEE!!! All the things that I can buy from Singapore! Haha. It comes with a price - a hefty one =( USD$7+ for the coffee... USD$3+ for a small bottle of milo powder =( owww...

29th
Today??? Note that here is 15hrs behind SG.
Finally a time to rest... Basically woke up to view rental cars. Probably gonna rent car all the 6 mths, more logical and economical. That means I'm not gonna be able to drive the car of my dreams =( Nvm. Ate a philly cheesesteak which I've longed for after the Florida trip =D. Soccer downstairs like in SG! All the ang mohs were watching and cheering us on when we scored! LOL. Had a small BBQ session with all the mates on the rooftop. The view's super beautiful but I didn't took any pictures coz my house is part of the Navy base =( Well let me see if I can get permission for that in future =)

So that's about it. I hope everything back home is doing fine. I really really wanna hear from YOU! Yes YOU! Haha.

Mismatch feelings

Watched UP! with beng just now... Quite an interesting and heart-BREAKING show...

Wonder why but the idols you grew up loving becomes the one you really don't want to be when you get closer to them..

It's been what? 3yrs plus? I hope I had been a complete blessing. Just like how God wants us to be.

Love love love love love... Would like it to be reciprocated =) It's alright if there's none coz it's just pure LOVE!

Thank you guys for everything, thank God for you guys! =D

Famous overnight!

Cleaning my poster...

Paris promoting my album....

Some last minute publicity..

Well done to publicity team!
