Memories
Maybe gona end of my 2nd ICT, lotz of memory flashes...
Still remembered 10 years ago my dad brought me to CMPB to look for sign on information...
Initially I was unaware could sign on Air Force until I reached CMPB.
Then after sending my application as Senior Tech, waited for 2-3months (still remembered it was part of my poly GL. TP Oei!!!) Then interviewed by a Sikhs wearing yellow shirt-sleeved shirt.
I was a fast 1, forgot most the things. Only remembered he asked me "Why did u choose Air Force & Senior Tech?" I replied, "Because if Air Force doesnt want me or my contract ends I can still repair Aircrafts after that." Haha....
& i got it. Signing on with Nian Feng & Marshal at the side as they were also signing the contract....

Re-Syn my Life....
had been alittle emo for the past few weeks...
somehow not happy with certain things tt i had no idea what...
& had offended Xuiling... a Dear Primary Sch friend... whacked by me through MSN...
(Hey Gal, Sorry for the 1st MSN chat whacking... All was Jinsheng's fault. Because he added her at Facebook & she msned me to check who Jinsheng was... haha... Oops...)
having a long thought tracing what i had done the past 1 yr in bus 23 while on my way back to Tampines Interchange...
Since i took-up the role as VP PR, life had suddenly become busy...
But i learned alot & have no regret!
Taking up MCSA certification course... Realised tt i need to work doubly hard for the certification! Teaching and lecture materials didnt really tele with the mock exam qns... haiz... But i know this is important for me... Been a guy (a man in exact), hasnt had a special skill, speciality... just somehow make me feel unsecure...
So die die MUST archive it!
Just the 2nd lesson (6mths to go), im kind of dying... tired... Fortunately this coming issue of Newsletter I had planned well (although could be better), i still feel the stress... During the long thought, i discovered the past 1 yr, my personal life was busier than work life which it had not happened before! haha...
Suddenly been called upon to take up the VPE for the next term... Im reluctant... Even with the current VP PR, i can feel the stress. VPE... haiz... Despite i plan to be part of the History of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club President Board, I really dont think i can make it for the next term. Because I know that I will not be able to be as committed as this term (because promised already, no choice... haha.... Oops...) Nevertheless, I did not reject the offer directly because I feel it is fair that I cool down and think through it. Because there are lots of take-away and benefits (self-development) been a VPE! After this long thought and drawing of the weekly tasks with my 2010 resolutions, i think i have to reject the offer.
The club taught me a lot and allowed me to meet the people i like and i want to meet all along... Fun-loving, knowledgeable yet humble, willingly to share! I like to contribute to the club. But this time round, VPE at this time, may not be a suitable time. It is really too heavy. Sorry to All who have high hopeon me, I disappoint u all with my incapability... Sorry... Nevertheless, i will pay for my dues and come for our club meetings! hehe...
Down to my relationship... flipping my Resolution Book... It has been in my Resolution for quite some time, but didnt action at all only since last year... haha... Have to say it was a failure but a gd experience, despite she rejected me at least we are still friends. Oops... then a After Action Review by myself, havent got a full picture, but have a glimpse why I have no girl-friend all along! haha...
Next, Family... I love u Pa, Ma and my Dear Sis!
Since i left the Air Force, I suddenly became very out-going... Still remembered I used to be very homely, homely till a situation where my parents complained why I kept staying at home! haha... It still happens now at times... haha... Oops...
This all came about that I went Guan Yin Temple (at bugis) to pray... I felt depressed... I just felt that Guan Yin Ma had some magical power just to make me happy... Just I wanted to pray, I didnt know what I prayed for! Or there were too many things in mind, tt I wanted to pray for but i couldnt put into words. Reason why I couldnt put into words maybe due tt I feel tt all these things in mind were small issues, it was childish to bring it up to her! & on a second thought, I realised.... I just need to Kan Kai alittle... Relax alittle...
Therefore I made this Night a time-out night for me. I cant say im totally ok now, but at least feel more shiok... more willingly to put "hehe..." and "haha..." in my texts... wahaha....

離婚酒店~
Something interesting... hehe...
離婚酒店~
他和她結婚整整10年了，夫妻間已經沒有任何衝動與情趣，
他越來越覺得自己對她幾乎就是一種程式與義務，
他開始厭煩起了她，尤其是單位新調進了一個年輕活潑的女孩，
對他發起了瘋狂的進攻，他突然覺得她是自己的第二春，經過再三考慮，
他決定和她離婚。她似乎也麻木了，很平靜地答應了他，
兩個人一起走進了民政部門。
手續辦得很順利，出門後，兩個人已經是各自獨立的自由人了，

不知為什麼，他心裏突然有種空落落的感覺，他看了看她：
“天已經晚了，一起去吃點飯吧。”
她看了看他：“好吧，聽說新開了一家‘離婚酒店’，
她看了看他：“好吧，聽說新開了一家‘離婚酒店’，
專門執行離婚夫婦的最後一頓晚餐，要不咱們到那兒去看看。”
他點了點頭，兩人一前一後默默地走進了離婚酒店。
“先生女士晚上好。”二人在包廂剛坐下，服務小姐便走了進來，

“那好吧，”她理了理頭髮，“清蒸魚、溜蘑菇、拌木耳，
“那好吧，”她理了理頭髮，“清蒸魚、溜蘑菇、拌木耳，
記住，都不要放蔥薑蒜，我先生……這位先生他不吃這些。”
“先生呢？”服務小姐看了看他。
他愣住了。結婚10年，他真的不知道老婆喜歡吃什麼。他張著嘴，
“先生呢？”服務小姐看了看他。
他愣住了。結婚10年，他真的不知道老婆喜歡吃什麼。他張著嘴，
尷尬地愣在了那兒。
“就這些吧，其實這是我們兩個人都愛吃的。”她連忙打起了圓場。
服務小姐笑了笑：“說實話，到我們離婚酒店來吃這最後一頓晚餐，
服務小姐笑了笑：“說實話，到我們離婚酒店來吃這最後一頓晚餐，
所有的先生和女士其實都吃不下去什麼，所以這‘最後的記憶’
咱們還是不要吃了吧。就喝我們酒店特意為所有離婚人士準備的
晚餐——冷飲吧，這也是所有來的人都不拒絕的選擇。”
她與她都點了點頭：“那就來冷飲吧。”
很快，服務小姐送來了兩份冷飲，兩份飲料中一份淡藍一片，

全是冰渣；一份滿杯紅潤，冒著熱氣。
“這份晚餐名叫‘一半是火焰，一半是海水’，兩位慢用。”
“這份晚餐名叫‘一半是火焰，一半是海水’，兩位慢用。”
服務小姐介紹完退了下去。
包房裏靜悄悄的，兩個人相對而坐，一時竟不知道該說什麼好。
“篤篤篤！”輕輕一陣敲門聲，服務小姐走了近來，托盤裏托著

一枝鮮豔的紅玫瑰：“先生，還記得您第一次給這位女士送花的情景嗎？
現在一切都結束了，夫妻不成就當朋友，朋友要好聚好散，
最後為女士送朵玫瑰吧。”
她渾身一抖，眼前又浮現出了10年前他給她送花的情景，那時，

他們剛剛來到這座舉目無親的省城，什麼都沒有，一切從零開始。
白天，他們四處找工作，
努力拼搏；晚上， 為了增加收入，她去晚市出小攤，他去給人家刷盤子。很晚很晚，
他們才一起回到租住在地下室裏那不足10平米的小屋。日子很苦，可他們卻很幸福。
到省城的第一個情人節
那天，他為自己買了第一朵紅玫瑰，她幸福得流下了眼淚。
10年了，一切都好起來了，可兩個人卻走向了分離。她想著想著，淚水盈滿了雙眼，
她擺了擺手說：“不用了。”
他也想起了過去的10年，他這才記起，自己已經有五六年沒有給

服務小姐說完，轉身走了出去。
“XX，我……”他一把握住她的手，有些說不出話來。
她抽了抽手，沒有抽動，便不再動彈。兩個人靜靜地對視著，什麼也說不出來。
“啪！”突然，燈熄了，整個包房裏漆黑一片，外面警鈴大作，

“怎麼了？”兩個人急忙站了起來。
“店起火了，大家馬上從安全通道走！快！”外面，有人聲嘶力竭地喊了起來。
“老公！”她一下撲進了他的懷裏，“我怕！”
“別怕！”他緊緊摟住她，“親愛的，有我呢。走，往外衝！”

她打開帳單一看，只見上面寫著：
一個溫暖的家；
兩隻操勞的手；
三更不熄等您歸家的燈；
四季注意身體的叮囑；
無微不至的關懷；
六旬婆母的微笑；
起早貪黑對孩子的照顧；
八方維護您的威信；
九下廚房為了您愛吃的一道菜；
十年為您逝去的青春……
這就是您的妻子。
“老公，您辛苦了，這些年也是我冷漠了你。”
“老公，您辛苦了，這些年也是我冷漠了你。”
她也把自己的那份帳單遞給了他。他打開帳單，只見上面寫著：
一個男人的責任；
兩肩挑起的重擔；
三更半夜的勞累；
四處奔波的匆忙；
無法傾訴的委屈；
留在臉上的滄桑；
七姑八姨的義務；
八上八下的波折；
九優一疵的凡人；
時時對家對子的真情……
這就是您的丈夫。
兩個人抱在一起，放聲痛哭。
結完帳，他和她對經理千恩萬謝，手牽手走回了家。

Pain, Pain, Pain
Went Rollerblade with Simin, Alvin, Xinyi & Teak Liang cycled.
The previous time when I bladed was 10 years back when I was still 17!!!
Getting old... Fell down 4 times, the worst was the last fall... My back hit the curb... Pain...
Fortunately I was mentally prepared for the fall, used my hand to support me!
More fortunately, my hand was strong enough to support me!
My 40 Push-Ups every morning was not wasted! hehe...
Still remembered once I was on the blade, I regretted to rent the blades... Should have rent the bicycles... haha...
In general had a pretty fun time. With Alvin's guidance, I managed to get a hold out of it (although still felt a little awkward & occasionally trying to balance myself). V-shape, bent my knees alittle, bent my back. haha...
Have been thinking of taking up blading when I was 21... Until now, then I bladed... haha...

MayDay DNA Concert - 280809
Woohoooo!!!!
My FIRST ever Concert attended!
五月天 really ROCKS!!!
Once they started singing, here goes the choir! haha...
Eveyone just couldnt sit there to enjoy the concert!
We had to SING & DANCE!!!! wooohooo!!! wahaha...
This was also the first time I saw my friend (who is a little introvert) screamed! Really a Rare Sight! haha...
Surprised given, they sang Hokkien songs. I had been listening some of their Hokkien songs (轧车, 志明与春娇, I Love You 无望) recently! These songs were GREAT! I was still wondering would they sing H0kkien songs initially and they did! Well Done! wahaha...
Their 舞抬魅力 nothing to say. EXCELLENCE! haha...
But, But, But... haha...
According to my friend, last year concert was better. Was HIGHER!!!
We also feel that Lead Singer (AShin) was either not feeling well or his singing standard drops. He sang off-key quite a few times and his voice was not as power as before.
As promised it ended around 12.30am, but it started at 8.50pm. When 11.30pm, they started to bow. Then audience shouted "Encore!" or "五月天!" Bloody hell, we should shout "退钱!!!"
Lastly....
a can of f**king drink cost $3!!! Really is a Day-Light Robbery!!! KNN!
In conclusion, I enjoyed myself! Fortunately managed to persuade my friend to go, or else I would have missed such Great concert again! wahaha....

不舍的感觉
Time really flies...
Just spent 3 weeks just like this!!??
Tml will be last day of my ICT...
dont know why... have this 依依不舍的感觉...
things have changed quite abit... Thats includes myself...
but somehow old images just somehow "flowed" out...
Times we grumbled, Times we teased at each other, Times we just laughed out LOUD like nobody's business (maybe only me)....
Dont know what to say...
Till date, have no regrets of leaving the Force.
Maybe really really have a GREAT time with this people, thats why make me feel a little sad that gona leave. Which I think there will be no second opportunity again that we can really work together like we used to be again...

1st August 2009
Kind of a Special Day...
Still remembered last year, 1st August 2008, I went CAB to collect my Pink IC.
Then went to Loyang JTC for lunch, then saw Rong Kun. haha... What a co-incidence....
Times flies... A year has passed! I left the Force for 1 damn year! Just feel that it had happened last month. haha... Co-incidentally, went for for my In-Camp-Training (ICT) with my previous Senior, Beng Chye. It was a pretty nice to go back base. RSAF is really a dynamic organisation! Management movements, change of organisation, physical locations, the way they do things... Feel that what I know is kind of out-dated! haha... But it was a really nice to go back! Saw a lot of comrades, used to work and play together. Misses those dayz... haha...
Besides joining Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club, to be frank I didnt see much achievements after 1 year. Fortunately joined Toastmasters, or else there will be NO achievements! haha....
On this SPECIAL day... went lunch with Teak Liang, helping on the long waiting chalet gathering! kind of look forward to it since 2-3 weeks ago. Cause the last chalet secondary school gathering was made 13years back! haha... Glad to see that after 13years, it came back! Have to Thank Teak Liang! He did most of the planning, organising and co-ordinating! Thank You!
On this SPECIAL day, it was Simin's BirthDay too! So a simple celebration was done (Should make her pay more for the chalet. haha...) BBQ, PS2 and 007 game... Was drunk again!!! My body was in red. I drank about 8-10 "Nilp"... At first I was sitting playing, I still didnt feel that drunkness. I only knew I was DRUNK when I went toilet to pee. Fortunately still managed to complete my pee and "climb out" to lie on the bed. I collapsed at 2am in the morning. haha...
Too bad Calvin (Angeline's Husband), it was a pretty good chance to let me say out the "NAME". If u had planned, I would have fallen into ur trap! hehe... In general, I had a great time! Once again, Thank You Teak Liang!
On this SPECIAL day, Samuel's 2nd daughter, Reene's Baby Shower! WOW!!!! You and Diana have 2 kids already!!! haha... Didnt manage to talk much as was planning to go back chalet. A surprise! I saw Ng Ling Ling Dawn! I think I did not see her for 13 years! haha... We couldnt recognise each other AT ALL!!! But she was worse! She couldnt remember this a guy call "HanBin" in the class.... WTH!!! To be frank, I feel she seems to have 失意症. Besides Diana, she knows no one. Asbolutely NO ONE! A little exaggerating though... haha... But nice catching up with her despite I had to handle her like a brand new friend. haha...

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club - 359th Chapter Meeting
This was the 1st time I was holding 2 Appointments in a meeting.
Table Topic Master and Project Speech Evaluation.
The Theme I chose was "Positive Quotes".
I personally found it rather challenging! I was impressed by members! Despite the difficulties of my wrongdoing, they spoke well! Well Done! (My retribution will come! haha....)
Feedback from General Evaluator:
1) The quotes were too long. For Table Topics sector, will be recommend that each topic is not more than 4 words. I totally AGREE! Thank You for the feedback!
Project Speech Evaluation:
Thanx for Coen Tan's tips on evaluation, i feel that I did better this time round. At least not as lost than the first evaluation done 2weeks ago. haha... But to evaluate my speaker (Simon) was pretty tough. He was GOOD! I didnt manage to find any flaws in his speech. His speech was easy to follow and understand. Personal experience sharing made me like to listen to him more. Good opening and closing. With the recommendations I gave, I gave him. I feel so guilty... It was just like purposely find fault on him to penalise him... haha... I only spoke for 2min flat. Too short!
In general, this evening chapter meeting was a power-pact one! Good Speakers & Impressive Evaluators! I need to pull up my socks!!!
Anyway Thank You Virgina for the Dinner! I LOVE it!

First Evaluation Experience
Yesterday marked my first evaluation experience.
My first time had given to Temasek Polytechnic Toastmasters Club, Hali.
Felt ashamed that I didnt manage to give him a good evaluation in the 2-3min evaluation presentation even though I had all the information with me. But I totally have no idea how to organise them, it was kind of a total hay-wired. haha... Oops...
Even though I feel that I didnt express well in that 2-3min, but at least I managed to give him a proper debrief after the meeting. To be frank, I was very impressed with him. I couldnt find much fault in him except found him a little nervous especially between in the middle till the end of the speech. I liked his descriptions. His speech was about his LOVE and PASSION in riding. I could tell he really likes the feeling of riding. He described car and lecture halls as boxes that trapped stale air. I especially liked some of the words he used, "electric massage for my brain", "a system check for my soul", "process of motor-cycling forces me to the environment" and "always engaged to the outside world". Beautiful! I could see you were fantasied and you had also estancised me. Well Done!
Seeing Temasek Polytechnic Toastmasters Club, I was really impressed by the club.
Firstly, the attendance. I saw 30-40 participants. This was a very impressive attendance.
Secondly, the speakers. I feel that they spoke better I do!
Thirdly, they were ALL very enthusatic, passionate and committed about it!
I dont know what to say, I was just simply IMPRESSED by these group of youngsters!
Young, Bold & Furious!
It reminded me when I was in my poly life. I was rather active in activites during school holidays and pretty active in my own project team activites during my academic studying period. Everyday, I was a Happy guy walking around saying "Hi!" & "Morning!" to people, shaking hands with people & hugging people all around the school. haha.... Seriously, I enjoyed that.Even though I had still quite a number of poly friends still in contact, but when we met up. We were still joking and laughing but I felt that something had been missing. I believe the environment played an impt factor and perhaps all of us had grown more matured. haiz... Growing up...
Anyway to our Young Toastmasters:
You did a GREAT job! I had enjoyed the session!
Continue to be Young, Bold & Furious!
Enjoy as much as you can because after this stage of your life, it will be difficult to have this group of friends, feeling and setting. Even though u all will still meet up in the future, but the feeling wont be the same as what u are experincing now!
But please be reminded, your studies is still the priority!
All The Best and Hope to see you soon!
