5th day in Taiwan

Did i ever mention i was in Heng Chun Camp?

Weather's getting cooler n colder... Wind is getting stronger...Cool. Wahahas..
I'm oso transforming to become a "lam nuah" fella...
Sleepy oso due to the shiok weather.. Tis is the kinda weather i wuld enjoy if i were to go outfield.. haha.
And i'm back to showering oni once per day cos we wun get to sweat tt much liao...

We had to taped up all the window panels in camp so in case if the wind too strong n broke the panels, it wun fly off everywhere in pieces.. Realised there actually was an earlier attack of a typhoon in july and it caused some landslides, wrecked some roads and caused massive flood.. then the army personnels were actaully dispatched to the affected places to help the villagers instead of doing missions. (how "shun bian" FREE LABOUR... Hmmm... not so fun.)

Choy hung his underwear to dry the night before and the moment he woke up, Guess wat was left? The hanger... I think his unserwear blown to taipei already. LOLX...

Actually wanted to shit.. But i paid for this session liao.. still hv 18 mins left.. Arghhh.. tt means i hv to bear with the shit b4 i can let go for at least 18mins.. Arghh... Help.

I think i spent most of my money on food n internet access.. Broke... Cookhouse food sucks..
Off to shit...

Typhoon Alert!

Prediction: Typhoon detected abt 720km away frm sea. Sea warning given
Travelling at speed: 21km/h
Expected to reach shore at the north-south eastern side of taiwan.
Heavy rains expected tml expected at ard noon as it reaches shore and land warning to be given as well.

WooHoo~~ New experience.... Already now feeling the strong winds..
Everyone starts to tok craps abt it. Like running in the eye so that we can experience the "calmness" admist the huge cyclone. (hello? try running at the speed of 21km/h to avoid getting sucked up.)
*actually it was me with the crazy idea* (-_-)''' wahahaas...
Hmm... to protect us, if there ever is a island-wide land warning, we'll be made to sit n rot in our own bunk eating wat i hated most---> COMBAT RATIONS!! *faint* hope it wun happen. I juz wana experience the wind.. How abt me hanging horizontally on a lamp-post while being blown? Hohooho.. Fun!

Safety Officer,"Pls close all the windows tight when the typhoon comes, cos water wil seep thru very small gaps then after everything ur bunk becomes swimming pool.
Then pls oso keep all ur underwear... Dun hang here hang there later anyhow fly oso... then ur fren sleeping next to the window kena oso not nice..
STAY in the building.. Thankfully toilet juz below.. but if die die muz go frm building to building... WEAR HELMET. Dun wan flying objects to "lang gah" u.
U come here nice nice hv fun not good to send u back home in a PLASTIC BAG hor.. so pls take care of urself. Unless we oso say go toilet need to wear helmet then u wear oso..."

Amusing Safety brief sia~~ Wahahas

When is EARTHQUAKE coming?? Wooohohoho.....

4th Day in Taiwan (Khao Hsiung)

The weather here turning cooler... Cos... TYPHOON coming~!! Yipee... Whole life nvr see typhoon before... Nah.. actually wun get to se la... Heard that there'll be 2 coming... they had given some warning already but it'll only affect the northern area and we're in the south... So by tml i heard there'll will be HEAVY rain everywhere... cool... Better rain more... so hot~~ ARghhh
Never am i so clean before(and sticky at the same time)~~ I showered at least 3 times now! In the morning, afternoon n night before i sleep.

Someone tampered with the KTV machine i think... It's now FREE!! YIPEE~~ Sing till "sao siah".

Ppl in the camp are all panicky abt the in-coming typhoon. Stocking up biscuits in case we were made to stay indoor.

Still Slacking... Duno wat to do..

3rd Day in Taiwan

We still got nothing much to do...
Basically sleep n eat n grow FAT!!!

As i said, the camp's here is very small. I think the whole camp is almost the size of Yishun Swimming Complex only. Easily assessible to all places.. Unlike Thailand where we had to walk very far to get from 1 place to another...

Weather's so hot n humid here... few mins after we shower, we'll sweat again... and we swaet alot! Then i was wondering y do we hv to go thru all the trouble to shower since we'll get sweaty n sticky again? Might as well dun shower~~ *lol*

There's this convenient shop juz outside the camp w/c sells cook food and some stations for ppl to use internet.. Before i visited there.. they sound as if the whole place damn cool but then in the end when i went, It's so run down!~ *faint* Show pics next time~~

Eh.. Using computer here oso got no privacy.. Wateva we do here, someone is standing behind looking... Cos they're oso queueing to use the computer... *sian*

I wana GO OUT!!! HELP!!! ANd we still hv so many days to go... Haiz... If i've known that we'll hv so much time, i wuld've brought a book or something lidat to read~~~

1st day in Taiwan

Complains an more Complains...
It took 3.45hrs to reach KaoXiong. Plus 2 hrs bus ride to the camp tht we'll be staying in.
I tot it would be cool here but NO!! Super hot.. I think it's worse than thailand!! The beds are double deck but were all squeezed tightly together.. Humid an not much ventilation. They dun hv proper tables or cupboards here! *faint* so not convenient. Yah.. juz beds for us to sleep.
It's a SMALL (and i mean Cap letters) Camp.. And juz next to our camps, it's all Cemetry..

Briefing by ATEC RSM,"Only those with temp passes can go to the "white house" outside the camp ah... Nobody is to go anywhere else.. U know... now 7th Mth ar.. Somemore outside all cemetry tt means they 24hr outside one.. So dun anyhow go then got lost.." *faint*

Good stuffs:
They have a KTV lounge here! BUT... it cost 10 yuan for a song.. An it's the only air-con place we can go... Usually we will hang out there cos it's so HOT!
Their toilets are not so bad... Still got heater somemore.. Wahahas.. But So hot rather shower cold. Shower liao a few mins sweat again..
BOring... as of now cos nothing much we can do here cos the canteen oni sell food not like in taiwan, they hv shops.
Tv shows.. ok la.. all the taiwan entertainment stuffs... at least we can understand the language.. unlike in Thailan they kept showing Thai Booxing and amazingly all the Thais look with so much interest.. Sasikumar *kelian* cant understand..
Internet is easily assesible.. but again.. 10 Yuan per 1/2hr... ok la.. at least got some form of contact with the outside world.
Boring!!! Boring!! Feels like Prison!

BOring~~

Yah.. Tt's the title... Think i hv to apologise for almost no updates on my blog..
COs.. NOthing interesting is happening to me now~~ JUz cruising thru... Aimlessly waiting for my pink I/C...

Oh.. Maybe i can mention abt a gal my aunt try to intro to me? lolx. It juz feels like match-making.. Hmm... Think my aunt "kanjiong" for me. lolx.
She like,"Ah liang ah... i got a gal wana intro to u lei.. Very sweet looking, very obedient, can do house chores, can cook..."

(hello.. i not looking for mother... wahahas)
Shyly, after 1 mth i got her contact, i sms her... seen her in friendster... The next moment.

SMS frm my aunt,"Ah liang.. so u kept contact with her liao ar?? whaha ok.. u 2 continue to keep in contact k? Her father allow u guys to sms n be frens lei... btw, do u know when's her bday? it's DDMMYY ok? remember hor~~" *faint*

(wahahas... It definitely sounds like MATCH-MAKING.. AUNTIE... "bo yao hai wo ar~~" i do appreciate her but wat did she actually tell them? Wat am i supposed to do? Well, i dun mind making more new frens... but... er... feels WEIRD!)

IT's drawing NEAR!

Feeling bored.. Actually wanted to go singing before i fly but cant get euff ppl to go with me..

Surfing ppl's blog then till i came back to mine..
Saw the COunt down timer...
Rubs eys... *in awe*
Rubs again.. *delighted*
Rub n rub n rub then see again... *HAPPY*

It's juz 198days left for me to see my PINK I/C! Wohoo... come back to mama!! OPss.. i mean papa... Wateva.. *giggles*

Rev. Sy Roger

He's a great man of God.. I enjoy his preaching everytime he came to our church. Super dramatic but so sincere and real.

Reasons why i liked him so much..
1. He does not hide his struggles but is very open about it.
(this makes me feel tt i'm not weird to have those types of struggles) Cos i know of some leaders who'll say "why like this, why like that.. u cannot u noe?" kena makes me feel so condemned abt myself.

2. He's dramatic!
He's like a great comedian... Jokes that he made are so meaningful that it has some teaching values in it. Not craps..

3. He's a great story teller
Yup, he tells us abt his experiences even in simple things tt'l happen in every family but relates it to the character of God.

This week he talks about LOVE (something that speaks to everyone cos we're all looking for love!)

He started of by telling us there's different kinds of "food" that all humans hunger for:
1. Food for the body (erm.. no need to elaborate on this)
2. Hunger for Truths (that's why we will always ask y...)
3. Hunger to be loved

Amazingly there are "counterfeits" to the food that feeds on the hungers tt we hv.. And those counterfeits cannot nourish our body it was planned to be.
1. Food frm the rubbish dump to satisfy 1.
2. Strange truths that ppl will try to teach to satusfy 2.
3. Sex for a moment to feel loved to satisfy 3.

(how true..) He toks more abt no.3.
he says TRUE love means

1. Acceptance frm ppl.
(People will try to doll themselves up not that they really want to but the main thing is to look good SO THAT THEY CAN BE ACCEPTED by other ppl!) ANd the greatest form of not being accepted is REJECTION.. esp frm ppl u loved. God accepts who u are...

2. Accountability to ppl.
(Ppl will try to mask their true self or their darkest secrets cos they're afraid that if anybody finds out, people will reject them... But accountability to other ppl allows One to know if they're really accepted amist of their "weaknesses".
When GOd gave us boundaries, it's not to restrict us (though we can still disobey and do it) but it's really to protect us.)
For eg, a mother will tell her children,"I dun care wat other ppl did.. u're my child, so u better listen to me.." Wat this mum did was not really to restrict the child but really doing it out of LOVE by Setting boundaries to protect the child...

3. Affirmation.
(Affirmation is not juz words but it comes with actions as well.. Actions speaks louder than words... LOve is also an act... )
When a child comes crying to their parents after they accidentally physically hurt themselves, what they wanted to know was "Does my parents really love me? Does my pain matter to them?"
So instead of Blaming the child for getting themselves injured, parents shld actually go to them, empatise, "sayang" them to let the child know that "Yes... i love u and ur pain matters to me..". Our pain Matters to God..

Unsure

Flying off to Taiwan soon..
Duno how isit gonna be like this time.
Hope can knees can still carry me...

Slacking

I simply LOVE to slag...
Been sitting in front of the monitor for hrs... since i woke up at 10?
Listening to music, not rushing anywhere...
Think i'm so used to not watching TV when it broke down at my mum's place.
So even though i hv a abit spoil TV here at my dad's place.. I DUN feel like watching...

My youngest sister...
She simply LOve to SLEEP..
Been SLEEPING since yesterday 10pm til NOW! LOOK AT THE TIME!!!
All the while she was "ACCOMPANYING" me in the room..
How thoughtful. -_-'''

Dota Craze...

I think if i were to save up al the $$ i spent on LAN playing Dota, i can get myself 2 original software! but it's diff feeling playing alone at home and with friends in LAN shops together. I need Discipline. Taiwan trip coming up.. Need to save up..

ERT (Engineer Recce Training) course ends yesterday. SAD!! Such a slack course.. Simply love it very much.. It was like booking out almost EVERYDAY! The Warrant Officer there was so farnie! He tok n tok.. well, it's still ok if anybody loves to tok BUT... HE TOK CRAPS N RUBBISH! BUt 1 thing i admore him... Somtimes even when he cant pronounce a word properly, he still try to speak it up. TT's very bold!
FOr example: "june" when he actually mean "zone"
"well dog" when he means "wild dogs" i remember tt was when he gave safety briefing before we had our overnight Summary Exercise on thurs. "Becareful of well dogs ar.. got alot of well dogs ard..." (i was huh? well dogs? until sasikumar told me it's WILD dogs) -_-'''
When we went back to Mandai in fri, all of us seems so..... SAD... YAh.. tt's how i feel.

SIMPLY dun like to stay in camp.. arghh.. Saw the timer on my blog.. 211 more days... i think when i came back after the 2 oversea excercises, i can see 100?? (getting nearer to see my pink I/C) I MISS U MS.PINK I/C!

I hate it

I hate myself for being poor.
Cos i feel helpless when i'm tt.
MOre than tt, i hate to see ppl i love suffer.
My parents are working so hard yet i cant help them.

Fridge abt to gave way... no $$ to replace
MAin Metal door frame spoil... no $$ to replace
TV spoil... no $$ to replace
Bills stacking... no $$ to pay

All these arent even for myself... $$$. HOw!! I need to prosper!
I NEED $$$!!

Ar-ri-ga-toh

Yah.. tt's in JAPANESE! Went for F.O.P (Festival Of Praise) on sat. It's like a gathering for the christians in spore to come together to pray n worship God. It was jammed packed. I think it's because Hillsongs (a famous christian band) and Delirious are here tt's why. BUt all the songs they sing are so new i cant keep up. Oh... BAck to the Japanese thingy.. Charis met a jap on a public bus who's on the way to FOP alone then we invite him to sit with us and subsequently invited him for our svc.. So exciting to know someone frm another country.. Get to know their culture and family.

I was initially on "learning Thai" phase but quickily switched to "learning Jap" in juz a few days.. Wahahsss... MAke use of him while he's still here.. FREE JAP LESSONS! Btw, The gals comment he looks like Jay Chow.. (small eyes... clumpsy hairdo.. ops..) why does everybody looks like Jay? Nvm.. wahahas.

Book in today! Sian to the MAX! Even though it's only for 1 day due to NAtional Day. Idiotic right? Might as well give us off. BUt i cant cos i'm on course. MC for 1 day= Out Of Course (though i dun mind going for this course again) lolx. SLack course. I think Basically we juz had parade in the morning then the 5km run then maybe 1 or 2 lesson then book out... *faint*

Dota Siao!

Somebody need to STOP ME! i think we're all very obsessed with tis game! Whenever we had the chance to book out, we'll always go LAN shops to play. Worse when i was broke... even harder to resist the temptation when ALvin offered to pay for me... So we went on tue/wed i think. We end up playing 3 games for 3++ hrs.. Cost:$9.10! *faint* tt's alot for alvin. I paiseh... so i say half can liao.. (tks Alvin). Alvin's really good inthis game. Whoever is with his team will surely win.. i was once in his team. 3v5!! but still we won. Amazing. tt's oso the game where i got my 1st desolator. Waahaha.. (sorry to those who dun play Dota, may not understand wat i'm toking abt)

NOw all really really broke after the thailand trip. All waiting for pay to come oni. Arghh...

Today going KTV. with En, Ken.f, Ben. They offered to treat me... Whoa... I think i'm very shibai... always no money then always ppl will offer to treat me. AS much as i feel blesssed, i oso feeel quite useless n paiseh. HAiz... BUt i really tk them for such good gestures to me. Really thankful. COs i really see no reaon y they shld treat me. I dun sing well, yet asked to go with them.

Learn to Cherish while we still can.

I juz returned frm my fren's granddad's wake. Erm... I'm not good in this. A few questions i myself cant answer...
But i feel that why wuld ppl oni cry n regret oni when a person leave this world? Why not learn to cherish and forgive while we still can? Do we always hv to learn the hard way? Do ppl oni know how to cherish oni when they lose something?

Is heritance tt impt? Does it matter where it goes? y wuld family members wana fight for it?

Will ppl cry for me when i die? (ops... 7th mth.. Sensitive)
