I finally completed my last shift training this morning and I have one final examination before I complete my attachment at Jurong Island. After that, it will be my long waited one and a half months of holiday. I have not really plan what I want to do, but I will spend the time improving on my music and sports besides getting a job.

Fusion on last Saturday was really great. The sermon, the worship, the atmosphere, everything was so fabulous that I cannot wait to go for the next Fusion already. I went there with a few of my church friends, but I was late due to the attachment I had at Jurong Island earlier in the day. Therefore, I missed the carnival, forum, and part of the worship. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed myself and listened to God’s word.

On Sunday morning, I skipped church because I went for a movie with my family at Cathay Picturehouse. The place is nice and there are so many movies to choose from. We watched “Ah Long Private Limited”, which was quite a lame show. The jokes are so Singaporean type but at least I could understand it. Later in the afternoon, I went to church for jamming session. I played really badly and I need to improve if I want to join the worship team soon.

rain down on me and here in your presence i am free

Good thing is that I already completed one twelve hour overnight shift work at Jurong Island. I have two more twelve hour shifts to do, one is in the day and the other one is overnight. Time seems to pass quite fast when I am doing the shift work but it was quite boring. I pray that God will help me to enjoy it and that I will be able to get a good grade for my attachment and not fail anything when I get back my examination results.

I set a new record of not sleeping for forty hours straight.

I slept at ten at night and woke up at nine thirty the next day with all my energy replenished. Thank God for giving me the stamina and the strength to stay awake during my overnight shift work and throughout the rest of yesterday.

I have one final examination next Wednesday. I will have to do very well in order to get through my attachment. I hope that I can study diligently and not procrastinate. With a helping hand from God and support from my friends, I promise I will achieve better results from today onwards. Yes, I only have to work on my studies now because everything else just seems fine.

i miss the life and the colours of the world

Two more weeks and I will be done with my attachment, which means that I am out of Jurong Island. I am really looking forward to my one and a half month of holidays. I plan to get a five day work week job in the company I used to work for. The pay there is good and it is only a fifteen minute walk away from my house. Some other things I will do is to practise playing the drums and guitar, and also train hard on my bowling, sailing, and windsurfing. There are really lots of things to be done to improve on myself. I will also put aside some time to pack my messy room, which I have not clean or pack for about a year now. Messiness just kills me almost instantly.

Things are not going too well at my attachment because I do not even like going there in the first place. It is so far away from my home and I have to wake up at about five every morning just to get there on time to catch the bus to bring me to Jurong Island. I really hope I can learn to enjoy it and make the best out of this attachment for the remaining two weeks. I also have one more examination to take before I can enter my holiday mood. I am praying that I will do well for the attachment as it is graded and that I will achieve good results for the examinations I took in school.

I am glad for many of my friends who received their posting results yesterday. Most of them got into their first choice of schools that they wanted. I wish them happiness and that they will enjoy their new school environment.

I had bowling training yesterday after my attachment and I played quite well. I am learning how to spin the ball now and control my spare ball properly. That means now I can play hook, spin, and straight balls which is a good advantage for me. I thank God for answering my prayers and that I will be able to continue to improve on my bowling and play even better next time.

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY FERN(YPOO), you are catching up with me in age.

give me your sweetest smile so that i can always remember you that way

Eight months in the hide,
I kept watched by the side.
Guarding you, keeping you,
Hoping to get close to you.

Every step that I take,
Is a moment I make.
Yet it seemed so fake,
Something too hard to take.

When the new year came,
All the emotions also came.
I tried to be tame,
But all was in vain.

You who made me humble,
Also made my life crumble.
I saw everything in you,
You saw nothing in me.

One night I asked for a sign,
So that I will no longer sigh.
Next morning the sign came,
I know no one is to be blamed.

it will be a pity if you remind me of the unpleasant past
