China. The next BIG thing.

2009-10-02T11:16:00.000-07:00

1st oct 2009 marks the 60th year from the liberation of People Republic of China. It all started with Chairman MAO, the legend behind the rise of this new super power. China had put up an superb display at both the military march pass and also the celebration items right in front of the symbolic Tian An Men in the morning and evening respectively.

I was awed by the display of China's military discipline and power as i watch the live telecast on cable TV. The Pride every soldier bares for contributing to the honour of the nation is so intense that it affected me when i am far across the ocean in another land. The magnitude of the parade is so magnificent, i am positive that it is one of the most grand event throughout the entire world.

After all, China is my home. No matter where in the world i may end up in, there is no way i can deny the Chinese bloody flowing inside my body. I am proud to be a Chinese, be part of the country.

However, if i put loyalty aside, there is really not much reasons that i can convince myself with to return to my homeland. Firstly, i spent almost all my life here in Singapore. Almost my every thing are in this pretty lion city. My education and my friends, my joys and my sorrows, not forgetting my blood and sweat shed for this country in these 2 years of National service. I'm happy that Singapore is giving me a chance to be part of the family. But there are always many "But"s.

But my parents will eventually return to China
But China is my home
But i'm proud of China
But .................... ECT.

all i wish is that time will dissolve my dilemma as soon as possible..

i have to make the toughest choice in my life.

ORD LOH~

2009-04-04T19:16:00.000-07:00

ok is not my ORD, there's like half a year more to my ORD. however i can certainly feel the legendary ORD mood ard me as many of my army friends had ORDed or are going to ORD. Is a kinda feeling that u are through something tough and u feel extremely good abt it.. i guess soldiers who had been through tougher trainings ripe sweeter fruits in the end. although there is still a reasonably long time before my freedom, looking back at the pass 1 year plus, i can roughly get a idea of the excitement i'll experience upon receiving my civilian NRIC. We've been through too much hardship to get to the end. These are things that the clerks and such cant understand. The dirt and mud on our faces are physically gone but it will still haunt us for quite a while.AS for us~ the combat medic specialists! other den the MUD and DIRT! of cuz we will not forget the BLOOD we see and smell, the fragile side of life, the pain of illness.the sergeant rank we now wear on our chest seen lives being changed both for the better and also worse. guess is time for us to be "off duty" and take up our civil duties. 6 more months.. ORD LOH~

NS VS GIRL

2009-04-02T10:13:00.000-07:00

Whats my take on the possibilities of a healthy relationship during NS? i personally do not have high hopes of a relationship during my term with the SAF. how to nurse the sparks of love fire at the initial stage into a goblet of warm flame when time is so restricted?! the couple completes an atmosphere, when they are not together there is a ozone depletion! as O2 escapes, the flame faces the fate of burning out. That is y couples get together often and complete the atmosphere again allowing more O2 to be produce from the love activities within the atmoshphere just like our mother earths natural eco system. but this is only possible when the essence of lives have not run dry~ imagine a earth with 0% O2, plants and all other living things perished. there is no source of replenishing o2 and thus we perish.how does NSF like me get tgt with his gf ofteen? almost not possible!slowly, the O2 will run dry. AS LOVE RAN DRY................................................................................
