After work, I joined my family over at the Singapore Flyer. We went onboard on the Singapore Flight at 6pm. The ride ended at around 6.30pm. Overall, the ride was ok. when our capsule was gg up.. we were so excited.. den it reached the peak... and down it came. the immediate thot i have was... oh no.. there goes my $29.50.. haha.. but den again, as a Singaporean, how can we not take our Singapore flyer.. Will go onboard the Singapore flight again when our intergrated resort is ready!
Anw, life is like the Ferris wheel that all of us are on.. Sometimes you are up high and sometimes you are down low. When we are at the bottom, we take the comfort in knowing that things will be better as the wheel will sooner or later turn up. When we are at the peak, we should not get too comfortable coz we may fall down at any time.. I thank my family and friends who are always there for me when i am down low.. and i am glad to share my joys ands happiness with them when I am the the top. thanks for riding wif me... hee...

Gonna 3 mths old...
Well, I have joined Mindef for about 2 mths plus.. Many asked me hows the job here? My auntie even asked me if working is shuang or not! (roll eyes) haha..
I would say, though tiring but still so far so good.. i m no longer so lost.. no longer foreign to everything.. no longer alien to all the acroynms (at least its accumulated in my "dictionary" daily--> welcome to the world of Mindef wif lotsa lotsa abbreviations and acroynms) .. its a good learning experience for me.. i am learning sth new everyday.. Sometimes its like war.. where i got so many things to rush and haf no time to stand and stare... no time for lunch oso... pretty stressful at times.. but sometimes its quite boring... Attended a handful of meetings already.. gonna attend one tmr (which is a reasonably big one.. and following tt in late nov and early dec.. i need to attend 2 real big one..)... Sometimes attending meetings can be good... though some of the time i get lost along the way.. its a good way for me to pick up new things, understand more things.. Within this 2 mths plus, we had our Family day, pride day, retreat, gombak charity carnival. Last but not least, i oso attended the EFP... kinda fruitful ya!! think i am kinda lucky.. coz all these events are around the last quarter.. the period where i joined..
i hope everything is gg well... so tts working life! haha..
oh yes.. i almost forgot to mention!!! U know wat.. i am really sick of the food here already!! how? i seriously dunno how they can survive here for 10 over yrs... maybe i am juz too picky.. but 民以食为天 ma.. so sianz whenever i go to the canteen... sooner or later, wat boss says will happen.. " u juz head towards the stall wif no queue or the least queue for food"... and i quote from dave.. “they juz eat for the sake of eating.. to fill their stomach" haha.. DTTB's food is so much nicer lor... canteen still got air con.. and no need to clear plates... okie dun grumble.. 人比人气死人! haha.. i dine out like thrice, once to bukit panjang plaza, another to railway mall and the last to ten miles mall.. find a day.. i wanna try out camp food.. hee...

G1 retreat + pride day
Met maj david for breakfast at saltwater-- Le meridien's hotel (changi)... the buffet breakfast there was so so onli.. Its my very first time having breakfast in Sg's hotel.. wahaha.. When i am overseas.. "enjoying" the breakfast at their hotel.. i always wondered wat would be served in our hotel (fantasizing all the yummy yummy foodie).. it turned out to be quite disappointing, considering its a 4 star hotel.. I feel the spread was pretty little.. wif bee hoon (which david says it isnt nice at all), hashbrowns, saugages (those cheapo kind), grilled fish (which is too saltish), and the standard bread and omelette stall... tts all...
Rushed to changi haven coz we are supposed to haf a retreat over there... my first time attending a retreat.. a mini one i would say..haha.. (Anw, i will haf a feel of a real retreat in Jan).. Following that, we went to changi v for lunch.. jan nee and darren joined us for desert.. I tried the chicken cutlet ipoh hor fun.. was quite nice but the weather was too freaking hot.. it was so unbearable tt i couldnt swallow anything except the icy cold sugar cane drink..
Had our pride day at 2pm.. Joyce, Poh hong and Adrian finally arrived.. can u imagine.. they took bus 67 from office to tamp interchange.. their whole journey to changi haven was easily a 2.5 hrs!!!! Anw, as cpt yong meng from AOMC jio me, i took part in the treasure hunt.. we combed the whole stretch of changi.. under the hot scorching sun!! oh man.. the scope was really too big!! right from changi v to the yatch club.. maddness... anw.. we managed to find our pots of treasures after walking (followed by dragging my feet) to and fro.. wahaha... we got second.. wif a pathetic 5 bucks popular voucher each.. for our wits project, R&A got second too.. hee... first was none other than CPC.. congrats to karin's dept..
Had bbq and happy hr after tt.. overall.. i had lots of fun.. met karin, karen and steffaine.. oso met some of the CO's PA in person.. alwats laise wif them but dunno how they look.. haha.. Once again.. i look like a lobster.. sigh..
oh btw.. seaview chalet is nice.. after the renovation, its real new and nice.. can consider booking it.. think there shld be 2 rooms at the second floor... while the cleaners are doing their rounds.. we juz peeped at the living room.. not very very spacious but not too cramp either.. can easily house around 20 pax? (abit smaller than NSRCC's living room but definitely bigger than many of the chalets.. There are 2 air cons and guess wat.. they haf plasma tv lor and a majong table.. haha..
On the whole, this event was great.. getaway from work and a know more pple session.. another plus pt.. its so near my hse!! hehe.. but my br pple.. Joyce, Poh hong, Dave and Adrian had a "hard time" gg back..

G1 Army 32th anniversary cum family day
This event was held in Safra Yishun. Its my first time meeting manny of my fellow G1 army colleagues... Our dept is a huge one lor.. wif a strength of 380 plus peeps (pple from our side and depot side).. and they were saying.. previously G1 army was much bigger wor...
I met the ladies for Mac breakfast early in the morning.. After which, we took 812 to Safra but we had a tour round Yishun estate.. A 5 mins bus ride from Yishun interchange turned out to be a 25 mins ride... coz its a loop and we took the wrong direction.. blur.. haha..
Only so few peeps from my branch went... my shifu was away for a course.. major hanyong last min gana arrow (go back office for meeting)...
We walked around.. and saw this guy who were about to do his parachute jump.. so we decided to wait and watched him jump.. oh man... i think he freaked out lor.. we waited for more than half an hr.. until my neck is so suan liao.. den there is oso a bunch of small kids (3yrs old i guess) who walked past.. and shouted.. "jump jump jump.." they are so lovely.. arent they.. and the guy still glued himself at the platform... we gave up after tt... dun think he did the jump ba.. haha..
Later, i followed them to the fruits machine "cafe".. haha.. think we spent most of the time there lor.. wahaha.. 2 guys over there seem to be a full time jackpot player lor.. won baskets and baskets of coins back home (strike jackpot for nth times lor).. Btw, i am the only one who din play!! haha
Oh ya.. watched boss rock climb from far.. haha... and Mathew got his genes lor.. 5 yrs old kid is so adventurous.. he tried rock climbling.. clap clap... haha.. trained from young sia.. Saw a few ladies did the parachute jump.. so fun.. haha..
Watched them bowl... AC bowled too.. haha.. hmm... as usual, our br din win any..
