An entry 3 days ago...

I am currently outside the tcc - the coffee connoisseur. Waiting for my wife to knock off work so that I can have dinner with her. Man, it feels good to have an off day in a weekday. This is not to be mistaken that I am making a laughing stock of ththe whole Singapor eoffice men and ladies. Better don't offend them or they are going to kill mi over it.

It had been two and a half years since I worked last as an engineer. Though I have the perks of the occasional week day off, I do miss the weekends as that is the time where most of my family and friends are free. I still remembered working on the first day of CNY...Not the best of the feeling.

My career obliges mi to treat both day and night, weekday and weekend as the same....No complains abt it, just glad that I had the moral support from Min. Frankly speaking, it had become more difficult to find quality time with her as our schedule crashes. Still working on it, and will continue to work it as long as flying stays as my careers....

Time indeed flies. Now we are in the second half of the year. Work got piled up, but at the same time, there are much more things to look forward too...here are the following

1. Weddings
More and more red packets are going out of our sleeves and pockets(as of now, I have Julian, jason, bret, chin chew, jamson, yiwei, yang and esmond down the pipeline for the wedding).

2. First month celebrations
Leia, Quon's younger brother and Jerry's son. More red packets, more presents, more diapers.

3. Birthdays
Min, baby nicole and carisse, binghui, kok heng, Huijing, Xinyi, chin chew coming up...more drinking, more makan

4. My wedding
This is it, ladies and gentlemen. My wedding with Min(of course it is Min, can it be someone else???) With the completion of my place called home, the rest of my energies are now concentrated on the wedding. No one is born a wedding planner. WHat wedding flavours to choose? What song to play for the first walk in? What alcohol to consume to convince my brothers and brudders that it is all worth it to down all the alcohol for mi on my wedding day? Which wedding card to choose? Which photo to pick as the bedside portrait?
It is okie, one thing at a time. Slow down slow down.

5. Promotion
Keepin my small fingers crossed. Now is a critical period for my pilot promotion. Shan't reveal much due company implication and procedures. Always err on the safer side....

6. Meet up with my guys and gals.
House is almost ready...so the house warming should be coming up soon. Still sourcing around for a living room clock and to hang up all my decorations, posters, puzzles and wonderful memories..

7. Prepare for my honey moon...Too cold in the North. Still sourcing around for a place. Dubai too hot, Moscow too cold, US too far, batam too close...

8. DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex)
I guess after the wedding photoshoot, felt inspired to shoot some good photos again. Time is not right, but I do have like the Sony A100. Looked impressive on the stat and the motto says"no camera is as stable as A100"

The post debrief of the class outing

Thanks to all for makin the effort to come for the class outing.. As far as I am concerned, it had been a successful class outing...

Now at jas place watching people eat durians. Very much that I would like to eat durians, but I can't. Knowing that mixing alcohol and durians are a big no no!

It always feel good to be able to meet up with people, cos it is always memorable to bring out the good old days, see how everyone is doing, and what is the big evil plans of our fellow friends..

A good gathering indeed...the next two gathering - Cherlene birthday on 08/08 and yet another manjong session...this time I must aim to at least break even!

I am not the only one feeling the strain

Hummm...you see, I am back online again. Felt very good to be able to stay in Singapore for >1 day. Enough time for you to reconsolidate, enough time for you to reclimatise back, enough time to spend some time with my loved ones, enough time to catch up on my forever-got-something-to-do list

Read some of the blogs recently and had a generalised idea that everyone(the netizens) seems to be slightly strained on the lower side. Mr Miyagi and Brown decided not to write for Today. Raynerlim had seen blog vacation(YOU actually can name the day you want to take time off from your blog..isn't that great) and people like myself just writing general updates..not the very inspiring. Or People writing things like ""ooh, there is just nothing today that is worth writing, or anything happening that deem mi as happening" Or someone else may write 'have a nice day!"

Looking back at the birth of my blog, i still remembered vividly that the primary objective is to update my family and friends of my news - where am I, what am I doing, what are my next plans, etc..... I am proud to say that the objective still remains the same. :)

Coming back, i was packing up my stuff bit by bit to shift to the new house...then I realise that I have so much things undiscovered! (Of course at the same time, there is alot of junk too...Aliying is too ali to throw it away, that is why)

Here are the things that I found during my discovery sweep

1. Letters from Min(details will not be revealed due personal reasons. Once again, you can try to trick mi by downing mi with alcohol - but beware, Aliying is well trained after the continuous stint with SIA captains!), my pri school friends(yes!), sec friends, JC, overseas, POSTCARDS, christmas greetings, CNY cards, etc. I had seen beyond the letters in the form of encouragement, blessings, greetings, well wishes, advise, updates, whereabouts, renewal of friendship!

2. I also found my fishing rod and reel(the last time I used it was first year Uni?? must jio jeffrey to go fishing with mi)

3. CDs(power station, Yuke Lee Lin, Emi Fujita,) - time to rip all these originals out and put it inside my Ipod...

4. Badges (NJC first 3 month badge, JJC badge, NPCC SANA course, marksman, Singapore flying college badge, Learjet 45 badge)

5. Certificates(Singapore is a paper society.better don't lose it)

6. Bags(My 70litre trekking backpack monster, my daypacks, etc)

7. My trusty lonely planet of Nepal, compliments from Min...

8. etc...

However, if you still do not understand what I am typing, a pic of myself sums up this entry...no need to read so hard lah!

Look out, look in, slow down!

A place where I called home of the Aliying!

This entry is way way overdue when the house was first completed in mid June. I must say that it feels quite good to own a home.. (the financial pinch is definitely there, though..but be rest assured that it is all worth it!)

"I want this sofa, I want this tat way, I want this to turn 45 degree....) YOu name it, the contractor does it for you.... No lah, over the period of six months, Min and I had developed a good friendship with Daniel, our contractor. ...Drink beer with him, bargain positively with him, suaning each other to the max....etc...

I am looking beyond the transaction of getting the house done. I had befriended a nice guy called Daniel, his wife Ivy and son Quon...

P.S I should not be typing this...Just came back from New Delhi, you know...???

Mac thoughts

The world cup is taking the tolls on my weakening and frailing body..England vs Portugal, Argentina vs Germany, Brazil vs France(I totally totally slept through that match!)

It had been a very good weekend for myself. Details are :

Fri : Flew to Hong Kong, popped by the bar below the hotel to catch the last 20 mins of the Germany vs Argentina match. After which, managed to meet up with Ting Teng for supper...

Sat: Came back to Singapore, straight to Gemma's first month birthday...A total printout of Ah Gong on a baby..Sweetness is in the air! Superman(I would not say it is a must watch, but you know, Superman of the DC comics, how not to miss), more soccer after that...slept at Jaslin and Dave's place

Sun: Cleaning house time, met up with Lip Chee and Maggie..Got myself a new hp after my motorola V3 died on mi...*sign* ANd yes, I had returned back to Nokia after a stint with motorola...

Time does fly, not only planes does that..In a blink of an eye, half of the year had gone by. I do not even have time to do some self consolidation. What had I achieved? What could I had done more? what is more next short term and long term goals? Am I giving myself too much self induced stress? I guess to get the answers to the above mentioned questions, I need to sit back, relax with my kopi-0 (less susu) and think abt it...
