departure

jally has been joanne's one and only accompany during my absence. this morning, jally left us. some said jally will be climbing over rainbow while some others mentioned she's under the care of e angels.

e sudden departure came as a surprise. my heart sank together with joanne but my heart hurts even more when tearful joanne bidded her final goodbye to jally when it was transported out of e house by e pet cremation center's rep. you may say it's just an animal but it's definitely not easy for us, especially joanne.

joanne is taking it well. and i hope that she will recover from this incident soon and move on. what's expecting us in e months ahead will be some happy planning and building. let's move-on my dear.

excited period

e most recent concentration has been spent on our up and coming humble adobe. according to hdb, this long-awaited unit of ours will be literally ours in 2 weeks' time but that of course e government is not going to wash their hands off these units forever.

met up with some contractors pertaining to e renov-work and countless quotations are filling up my fist-big brain. thank god that e flooring has been settled. as of now, it will be full-throttled on e rest of e renovation.

well, i've been having this crazy plan of doing a pre-house warming's house warming prior to e main renov work! gather a few close friends, having some movie projections, potluck style of dining at e very raw state of environment! spray whatever you want on e untouched walls! sounds cool, isn't it! nah, that's not confirmed but both of us are equally excited over this new nest (although i tried to act calm) ~

by judging at e most initial schedule, e house could be ready by sept. dear friends, start looking out for house-warming gifts! it's coming!

harry "porter"

new porter bag for e new-age guy. greatest thank to my wifey.

da vinci

just when i thought this week was going to be a rough one, unexpected things happened. god was kind to me and eventually e strong survived and was rewarded with a good relaxing weekend to rest! joanne and me have got a da vinci saturday.


a short trip to e da vinci's exhibition at e science centre this noon has indeed enriched me. other than an artist, i never knew leonardo da vinchi was a musician, a scientist and an inventor! we were allowed to hands-on on some of e exhibits, nah... its just some simple logic tools and stuffs but we just never know how to apply that in our daily routine. he's a genius in that!


joanne helped herself to an icy egg bean curb during e break halfway through e walk at e science centre!


beheaded for a feast? anyone knows how this was done? haha

bbq nite

cohesion day

army camp is a place where you will be constantly reminded how old you are getting. you will realise e running timing of 2.4km and shuttle run would be getting longer and longer, no of chin up and sit up would be getting lower and lower. when i ran pass e electronic timing board, i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, OH... then i realised that i am getting slower year by year, older and older. what a place to remind us of our graceful aging annually.


despite having a hectic schedule at work, i managed to secure a consistent silver grade. 200bucks richer!




our group came out champion in e bowling competition with me hitting an all-time record personal high of 179 pin points! i am pround of charlie gunners.

e cohesion day was successfully arranged, or at least i personally thought so. singapore is not that big but you will never get to see your campmates out on e streets. it's only during e reservist where we guys will be gathered. we're enjoying every moment of our time catching up with each others.

siang ping becomes a 100% family man after marriage, zhengrong is tired of his current job and is looking for a new one, francis is a credit card seller involving in road-shows all over singapore, hideaki has become a celebrity busy with singing, commerical and tv dramas' shooting, elvin is busy with his food & beverage teaching, once-speedy footballer issac broke his ankle, james' grandma passed away recently, lex hurt his back during golfing and etc. we will be able to catch up more next month during our 6th reservist!


chilling out at yakun prior to e commencement of e bowling competition.

lost it

e belief of answer for your own performance was no where to be found at e pitch this evening. my vision was covered with an transparent cloth. couldn't get it off throughout e evening. my body was heavy, my breathing was hard and my legs were half-nailed to e ground. i am unable to display e minimum performance which was required at this stage. second to the ball, total lost in a game where i used to lead and excel.

disappointment filled e heart. i never expected this sort of rejected feel does exist in my life now. i always thought that my passion for e beloved game was up and i would not be feeling anything like what i'm feeling now ever. wrong bro, i was wrong. its nothing to lose to a better team but rather i am disappointed with myself.

feedback and comment from e players were hurtful and unpleasant but i swallowed all. its true that i am a disappointment this evening. in that split-second, e clock seems to bring me back to the late 90s - i was a rejected self in e domestic league. e only encouragement of e evening was where one of their main figure of e team invited me back again for e league game. i was thinking, did i manage to impress him with my sub-standard performance earlier? or maybe they are really down with players!

nobody knows me better than i do. e next step should be a second outing for e team, back to e pitch where i regained back all e confidence where i lost it this evening.

who e hell are you

recently there's this gentlemen who bears e same name as me, ironically e tone of his voice was almost identical to mine, called up to e air, without a slight feel of shame, sang a couple of verses from one of our homegrown singer, stef sun's songs of all time.

let me tell you, i am utterly disppointed to come into contact with e fact that that particular singer-wannabe shamed me for that moment!

phil called when i was just starting to warm my seat in e office early in e morning before any nightingale has awakened. i was like GOSH.. what if my friends thought it was me! worst still, I asked phil if e guy sang well and as per expected, phil said e guy sang real bad. you hear me, REAL BAD!

"jun, i thought you're from choir, how come you sang that badly?" phil said!

here on my blog, i officially announce that i am not e one who called up to e radio to be a singer-wannabe. for such statement, i verified and confirmed that there was an mis-identity. no way i am gonna be hurt by this mis-identity incident. should there be anyone who was puzzled or indirectly affected by such an unfortunate incident, on behalf of that INCONSIDERATE GUY, i apologize to all.

peace out...
