Monthsary!

Fair Monday, June 25, 2012.

Today is my fourth month here in Singapore (YAY!). But my post is not all about my stay here in Singapore (Yesterday, I was not able to go to Sentosa and check what's in there for their 40th year anniversary celebration. Man, it's Sunday and I have to rest! -.-).

The video, obviously, does not show the places in Singapore where I've visited. But rather, revisiting those memories, and the person with me in those memories, which makes me remember my purpose , my goals and the answer to the question: Why I am working away from my loved ones?". Happy 102nd Monthsary Baby Rain! (Special thanks to flash-swf-converter.com!)

Enjoy!





Fisherman's Diary - 1

A sunny Tuesday. I came home from my night work at 9:30 AM (every morning, I ride Bus No. 54 from Bishan Bus Interchange to Chinatown Point, which is a one-hour travel but better than riding the MRT from Bishan Station to Serangoon Station and Serangoon Station to Chinatown Station since I could daydream and SIT AT THE END of the bus). I logged in, but no one was online yet so I played 2 NBA games (my team was Portland Trail Blazers, with “me” as one of the players and the only player which I can control). When I finished off both my opponents (Cleveland and Toronto) by an average margin of 15 points, I tried to login and check whether my FBs (FISHING Buddies!) were already online. Fortunately, three of them were present, and they were with one new acquaintance.

Santi, Shine, new friend Bong and Alyn (start from the guy beside Shinichi, the "rich and cool" fisherman with green boxer short) did not disappoint me. I am into one of the toughest situations I’ve ever been, and they have been realistic with their advice to me. And they are right – it may not be the same again, but only time can tell. I just do whatever is right, and ask for His guidance because He has His own plans. At least, there will be no regrets.

I had a great time with them that I forgot to sleep early (yeah, it was 3 AM! Oops, 3 PM was the actual time; I have a reversed clock due to my work schedule). But I was fired up and inspired - to continue with my life and at the same time be a better man like what I promised.

The Parcel

It was a gloomy Monday. Yesterday was Father’s Day, and I just received the worst gift ever. My eyes were tired but cannot rest; my stomach wants to take food but cannot. Of course I don’t think that I will die at that moment, but I feel lonely and anxious. No one to talk to. No message except an inspirational one from my youngest brother (thanks gunggong!! :P).

At 4:00 PM, I received a package (important documents). Actually I don’t expect that to come (since I was advised that it will be delivered by Wednesday). As I inspected one of the documents, it fell off – the letter from my partner.

The letter was written on a memo sheet, and though short, made me cry. How stupid can I get. How come I am good at analyzing things but never realized those things that matters most?

The parcel came ahead of time. Me? I don’t know, but it seems that I am thinking and acting way too late to be a real man. And like a customer who will be very peeved for delayed package, my “customer” will just forget about me if I don’t act fast. No more excuses.

First Timer!

Hello! This is my first time to make a weblog, and hope can bear with my English. :) Anyway, as a professional civil engineer, a wanderer (sometimes!) and a writer (who did write several novels but never completed), I will try, as frequent as possible, to write everything that I think is worth sharing - from civil engineering topics, current events, travel, to lovelife (!).

Hope can get something (positive) from my blog, and I am hoping also that you may not get bored. :)

Enjoy and all the best!
