Relax Time
Hey Hey its me back again twice this week, haha very weird right? Well its because for this coming weekend, I'll be out of town and will only be coming back on Sunday to Pular Aur for my scuba diving... yeah...

Well I just take up this sport recently because its a new challenge for me and also to view the other world of life at another angle and view. But it will also be another form of relax for me from my work after been doing the same old thing over and over again everyday.

Really looking forward for the day to arrive. But just as I'm thinking of being able to go for this trip without any stress from my workplace, the nightmare just happen on me. Its because for tomorrow (Thursday), there's a mini retreat at my workplace in which we have to report very early at 1000hrs in uniform some more before our afternoon shift... shrugs...

Then after the mini retreat, still have to carry on working till 2200hrs in other words it means I'll be at my workplace 12hrs... But anyway just hope for the best and maybe if can a miracle to happen but don't think that will happen on a unluckily like me.

By the way, good news to all the bloggers who have been reading and visiting my blog is that I'll be changing my layout for my blogspot soon in which hopefully by April the fresh new look will be up to greet you all devoted bloggers. And also since I have so many blogs, actually I would suggest that instead of viewing my other blogs, just go to my blog at blogspot as it is the most satisfied blog that I have. And also there's a tag board for bloggers to leave their tag behind and links to my network of friends..

Till then I would like to wish all bloggers visiting my blog all the best and best wishes to you. Shall update you all again after my trip on updates of my scuba diving.

Stone-ing
Sorry for those bloggers who have been reading my blog and for such a long time since I last updated you all about me for the past few weeks... keke

Well for the past few weeks, think it must have been the most tired weeks that I had ever encountered and gone through so far. Its because for the past few weeks, its either been juggling my time between work or my NP preparation for the upcoming camps and the area campfire.

To think that we've actually been doing the planning quite early but still don't know why in the end we still have to much things left to settle and tidy up the loose ends. Then maybe its too packed hence during that period when I'm on morning shift, I actually don't have enough sleep in the night then after work still need to go to the school to help out in the preparation.

Then on after my first night shift instead of catching some sleep, I still had to go for my scuba diving pool lesson in the early afternoon. Overall the lesson quite interesting as its my first time able to stay underwater for such a long time and learned how to do scuba diving. But for that I need to pay a price for it which was to forgo my sleep and the lesson actually only around 5+ in the afternoon then finished.

Hence by the time I reached back home, its already around 1830hrs. So I had to repacked my bag again to get prepared for my second night shift before going out for dinner with my family members. It was like dragging myself to everywhere that I went. Then night time is the worse, to that I actually had to force myself to be wide awake in order to perform my duties.

Then after the second night which is my off day when I reached home, again instead of resting and catching whatever sleep that I need, I just sat at the sofa and stone for a while before repacked my bag again to get ready to go to the school to help out for the camp and also for my work the next following day.

Thinking that maybe I may be able to catch some sleep in school, I was totally wrong. The moment I reached there, I had to take over so much stuffs for the area campfire alone. Gross really have to be multi-tasking in order to carry out the jobs. Then at night again only managed to catch some sleep around 3+ in the morning about 4am, and had to drag myself to wake up around 6am.

But thank god that for the camps, nothing much extra happened as it's a peaceful camp for me to handle. After the break camp, settle some admin stuffs with the officers before I rushed back home in a cab to put my load at home and lastly to have a nice bath before going to work.

Think its only at this period in which I truly understand the terms of stone-ing. Its because for the 1 whole week, I barely had enough sleep then still have to perform so many things.

But luckily that now is sort of my lull period in which I can slow down my pace to catch up whatever I need. Then last Thursday during my off day, went to Malaysia for a day to jalan with 2 of my colleagues to rewind especially for me after 1 long week of hectic schedules.

Then I also had revamp one of my blog in blogspot by changing the layout but sad to say, still unable to find a day to fine tune it to make it more perfect. By the way I think I've penned down too many and maybe some of you bloggers are already starting to curse and swear at me. Hence shall stop here for the moment and shall share this meaning quote with you all.

To the extreme again
Wheee for this week luckily there's isn't much unlucky things that happened liked last week... haha.. Then also nothing much happenings too, just that on Monday, went down to my community center for my YEC meeting in the night. And so far, think thats the first ever meeting that we had that we're able to end the meeting before 2200hrs which usually will end after 2200hrs...

Then as for Tuesday after work, met up another friend to go sign up for a diving course for late march at pulua aur. And also luckily for me that I'm able to apply for leave on that two days so still able to go and enjoy in peace without having the fear of have to go back to work.

As for the coming end of the weekday is also the time for my extreme to happen again. Its because after my first night shift on Thursday, went for a breakfast with my colleagues opposite our workplace. Then by the time I reached back home, I still need to prepare some stuffs for my trainings later at the school, hence its only around 11+ then I can go and catch some rest.

But don't why I just can't get myself to sleep, hence had to force myself to sleep. Then around 1330hrs, I had to wake up again and get ready to go down to the school for the training and also prepared my work stuffs to bring along. After training, as usual went to our usual place for dinner before I had to set off again for my second night shift.

But luckily I get the second resting in which I manage to catch some good sleep unlike the first resting in which you won't be able to catch any good rest at all. Then after work, instead of going back home to rest, I still had to rush down to the former police academy at thomson to support my unit's girls' team for their campcraft competition as I had missed the one for the boys' team last week.

After the competition, we went to novena square for our lunch but think for me should be breakfast cum lunch at around 11+. Again instead of going back after lunch, four of us went down to macritchie reservoir for a reece hike for the upcoming hike in March.

It was damn shag and tired after the hike as we walked the long way from macritchie reservoir to bukit timah. Actually we wanted to walk up to the top of the hill but we decided to give up because we're all too tired. As for me is even more tired as I wasn't wearing the proper attire at all as I went down straight after work, I was still wearing my working shoe for the hike...

By the time that I reached back to my home sweet home, it was already around 1730hrs. And after my bath, I still thought that I'm able to sleep to recharge my exhausted batteries but to my horror, I still unable to get any sleep. Hence it was around 2300hrs++ then do I really feel the tiredness and managed to recharge my batteries..

Think shall stop at here as it seems that I have written very long already. But nonetheless, still would like to share this quote with everyone whom wants or wish to relax..

Tiring Weeks.....
Hmmm... lets see what have to be catch up ever since my last update of my blog. Well its been a tiring weeks for me from which its as usual busy with my work. As work is on a shift base, sometimes even when its your off day, you won't be able to sense it. This is because most of the time you would rather spend it sleeping at home to recharge the batteries which has been drained off at work.

Hence time is also spend lesser with your friends as most of the time its either you free, your friends busy or vice versa, and its only very rare that you able to find a time in which both you and your friends are free and able to catch up with one another.

And thats happened to be it that I'm able to meet up with my former ITE classmates to go to our former tutor's house to 'pai nian'. I still can remember its been a long long time since I went to her house with them ever since when I'm working part time at NTUC.

It's because every year when they planned to go to her house, I sure have to work on that day making me unable to attend for the past 5~6 years. But luckily for this year, it happened to be just nice that the day that they chose is my off day. Hence at last I'm able to meet up with them at her house.

And to my surprise, our tutor still kept some of the photographs that we took outside at a hawker center with some of our tutors and develop them for us. In fact while we were admiring the photographs, we also asking one another when those photos are taken.

After the gathering at our tutor's house, I still had to rush for another function which is my side community center to help out for the CNY dinner at expo. And by the time everything had finished and I reached home, its already quite late and the following day, I still on morning shift hence making me only able to rest for a few hours.

But luckily for me now is back to single again and no need to celebrate v-day as I had to perform a BOT on that day after my morning shift. By right I was supposed to knock off at 2030hrs, but due to the heavy traffic and lacking of manpower, I had to stay back to help out till 2200hrs. So in other words, others get to celebrate this special day with their loved ones whereas for me is celebrating it with my stamps for 12 long hours.. Haha

As for yesterday is my off day after my night shift, I still have to go down to the school to help out for their trainings. And after the trainings, a group of us as usual went to the tampines mart mac for our dinner and meeting. And to our surprise, by the time we finished our meeting its already past midnight and I had to walk back home dragging my tired body resulted from a long run after so many months of no running....

Then as for today, think it must be a unlucky day for me. Reason being that only after I reached the traffic light waiting to cross the road for work near to my block then do i realize that I had forgot to bring my belt. OMG... hence had to walk back home again to bring the belt. After this incident, I had to wait for half an hour just for the bus to come and resulting of me reaching my workplace slightly late but still have enough time to change.

Haiz... hope all will be back to normal again and won't be so stress up and tired bah...

Happy CNY & enjoy the long weekend
GONG XI FA CAI and a happy Chinese new year to all the Chinese counterparts and as for the non Chinese counterparts a happy long weekend to relax and enjoy.

Haiz... how I envy those students who are still studying, as first of all they get a long weekend away from school work, and secondly able to celebrate CNY getting all the red packets that they can receive during this period.

Alas as for me, a sad sad story to say.. For others they get to celebrate and enjoy this festive season but for me is nothing but work and work and work.. But luckily is that there isn't any OTs that I need to perform for this month.

As for my recent updates after the last update, there also nothing much to update as for me is still the same old cycle of work and recharging my batteries at home to rest and help out for some spring cleaning.

As last Saturday was my birthday, I still had to work in which when I left my house the sky is still dark and when I reached home the sky is still dark but sad to say its not due to me going out to celebrate my birthday but its after work performing my OT of 12 long hours at work.

Wonder will anyone also will have this type of worst fate as me whereas people is happily enjoying away and for me is sadly busy working away...

Hmm think there's already someone out there cursing and swearing at me for writing so long and hence making their eyes tired and watery. So think I'll stop at here for the time being and shall update again the next time..

Life back to normal
Well at last I'm able to sit down and relax to update my blog. It's because everything is now back to normal as my schedules for either my CC or NP is lesser and slow down. Then as for my work has also back to normal as what a usual checkpoint should be like.

Think maybe its also time for me to take a step back to settle some of my stuffs, reorganize myself and take things one at a step and not to be so hectic for the time being.

Meanwhile I also manage to update one of my blog in blogspot by revamp everything and adding some new stuffs in it. But all these have to thank one of my friend whom actually pointed out to me that I can actually get ready made layout rather than redoing it from scratch while I was actually resizing the picture which I'm going used as my wallpaper. After which she also helped me to sort of debug one of the codes which cause a error to it.

Hence since now everything is now back to its peaceful time, think its time for me to carry on with my compilation of a field manual for my NP in which it had been passed down to me compile everything. It was sort of messy and untidy when passed to me as it had been done by a few people hence I had to redo some of the parts to get it right.

Think shall stop at here and as usual would like to share this quote with you people who have been taking time off to read my blog...

"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

Time to spare anyone??
Well well well its me back in here again to update my blog again after the last post which was the day after christmas.. Haiz time seems to pass very fast as without anyone realizing, its already 2006 which means another year had left us and another brand new year is awaiting for us to welcome and start brand new.

As for the updates regarding me, to sum up everything would be as what the title has state, because don't know why, it's has been a very hectic period for me during the starting of this new year 2006.

It's because for me is that either me busy at work or even before work or after work I'm also fully occupied by stuffs from either the CC or from my NP. At times it would be like attending this event before work then go for my night shift. After night shift still have to carry on another event and not being able to get any sleep at all. And by the time I reached home only can rest for about max of 3hrs before I had to go out again for my work...

Hence due to all these, think I've yet to put myself in another test of how much energy I have to spend before I need to recharge my batteries.. As a result, I was fully exhusted and really wish time would just stop for a moment just for me to take a rest.

But luckly now it seems to have slow down the pace and I'm not that totaly shag out and exhusted from events or activities. Hmm.. hoping that since the begining of this year it has been already so hectic and busy, just hope that for the rest of the year I won't need to be that busy.

Think as a result I also don't know what else to write anymore hence shall stop at here instead.. But before I stop my pen at here, I would like to share this quote with everyone again...

"If your energy is as boundless as your ambition, total commitment may be a way of life you should seriously consider."

Now Playing: Only Lonely
Only Lonely
Well today also nothing much to do but just staying at home to rot and slack for the whole day as today is my off day. Other than just eat, watch television and sleep to pass the day, I just let the time slowly pass by.

Actually have to go out to Simei to buy some stuff one but in the end also never go as those who agree in the end also forget about it then want to find other people also don't know who to find anyone to accompany me. Hence in the end, just stay at home to rot and slack for the whole day.

Think today shall not write too much as it seems like I very naggy and also not forgeting long winded. To those who is reading my blog, just want to wish all of you out there all the best, take care and enjoy the upcoming festive...
