A time of giving, sharing, loving and heaps more...

Family, work, friends, church, friends from overseas! I not really sure if this year was a year of action, I didn't see myself as Jackie Chan or even Jet Li. I guess my way of action was to touch people's life. In a big or small way. I have always struggle to find time or balance everything but the things I do in my life, be it for others, I have always find joy in doing them. I guess as I get older each year, I get to know a little of myself better and because of that, I am able to be comfortable about myself and let my friends/family members know more about me. I guess I did not place too much goals this year for myself to achieve. I know it was going to be easy in 2008, getting everything/part of my life right. Like in church, home and work.


But it is truly God's grace that everything was place in my life this way for 2008. Like how I got the chance to visit Hong Kong, landing a new job (I'm sure it's a good thing at the end of the day), finding my place in church and getting baptism @ Christmas day. Everything seem to have come and gone. It's almost 2009 now.


I hope you had a whale of a good time in 2008. Just like I did in this pic. It's good bye 2008 and embrace 2009 when it reaches.

The moment from Hong Kong drama, with the rich and not so famous. Thank God for everything that has happened, is happening and yet to happen.

Welcome come to Canto Land

It can't get better. I love Hong Kong la! With all the shopping and eating! Work have been great. Heaps of learning and understanding. I sometimes imagine myself in a Hong Kong Drama!

One year and counting

I am back from Brissy for a year now. I was just talking to my mum the other day and I was asking her, I look the same right? Did I gain any weight? Oh well, I also try to ask the questions I want to hear. After some thoughts, I told my mum, I should be asking if I have lose any weight! Brissy would seen so far away now that I have an excuse to go back in end of Sept. Don't wait to meet up with all my good pals back there.

For the past 6 months, I have been so busy with heaps of things that just happen to occupy my life. I have been to Bintan, Malaysia and Hong Kong for that short period and they were all for different reasons. Those are all new grounds to me, all that I have never thought about going, Bintan was for leisure, Malaysia was for Church Camp, which was GREAT!~ and the Hong Kong trip was for work. I am really glad that mum is more understanding nowadays on the things I do. Church have been an area that I am recently spending a lot of time on, be it cell group, sunday service, Welcome ministry or hanging out with churchies. Thinking back of all that God has done and provide, be it good or bad, I felt the love so strong that I would also like to spread that to the other people around me.

Work have been pretty routine and I am facing a transfer back to Centre of Innovation soon, maybe end of August or early. I am really glad to be able to work here @ LSCT, Ngee Ann Polytechinc. It was a good opportunity to understand and learn about the research enviroment in the Polytechinc. As a greenhorn in the industry, which I am still one, every chance is a good learning opportunity to me.

I am half way through to the year of action now and there is about 5 more months to go with them. Rock on and PRAY much.

The year of Action

It has been a blessing to be back to the arms of my love ones after the long hiding in Brissy. Every year in Christmas, since 2002, I will always remember the time, where I spent my time @ Sydney and Surfers, 2007 was no different. I truly have been enjoying my life alot and this is no easy task as a lot of people around me has make sacrifices to let me enjoy my life. I would just like to thanks everyone that have play a part in my life this far.

Christmas @ 2007 was spend mostly with my churchies. We had a skit on the meaning of Christmas and the girls was EMO, just look as how excited they are. How I wish, for the following year, i will have a big pool of fangirls~ following me~ wahahahahha.

Seriously, nothing beats having a group of crazy friends hanging out together. Just look @ this pic, I'm so sure in 30 years time down the road, we will still be taking pics like this. The theme of the pic is " Expression of Constipation ".

God Bless! It's going to be a year of Action~

Even the best fall down sometimes~

Important people in Singapore always wear white. Maybe that give the idea of been pure, good and rightous. When I was back in down under, the fight for the PM there has already started. With Kevin Rudd holding a strong fight against Mr Howard. I have never care so much about who gover us or whose the good or bad leader. The picture above is with Dr Lim Wee Kiak, Member of Parliament for Sembawang GRC. As my sister is very active over at the RC, we get to know a lot of first hand info on things going on around our area and there was this idea of having a buffet over at our lobby here with Dr Lim coming over for a session of bonding.

It was nice to have him around, listening to our problem and telling us about the spirit of Kampong. And that we at the 4th level should help each other out. Lots of thing have change, I meant the surrounding near my area. I am happy with most of the changes and at the least time, it think i like my estate a lot. I'm sure in time to come, I will know who to vote.

The day my mum was in labour~ I heart November~~~
Someone try to steal my cake~~!!! The friend that I was trying to prevent is none other then the famous Ms Koh from naaa-valites~!~~~~!! ok ok, on the serious note, the four of us share the same month for our birthdays.
THank you elites!!!

Black Market~

There goes my favourite market~

Stop Cramping my Style!!

I always believe that everyone has a lot of role to play, for me, they are a brother, a son, a friend and also my job at the moment, a teacher. Having different roles meaning a list of different priorites in life. Life haven't been easy after coming back, with every move been watched so closely by someone and that has been a problem lately. That has have a effort on me. I'm no longer happy in life, no longer been able to think or feel postive. With all her comments been so negative, it's only a matter of time before I turn a deaf ear on her. Talking to her, been my closest family, is no longer enjoyable. She will look at all the negative things that ever comes out from you and make it worse by returning it to you. not once, but many times in a day. When I come home, the last time I need is someone saying all the horrible things to me. It's been a long time since I felt that no one really hope at the moment. I know this phrase will have to pass by soon. I have too many important things ahead of me to worry of all this feeling and been good about oneself.

Maybe I have been caring too much about my friends and kids at work that my family members are suffering from this side-effort. But as a only guy at home, I'm doing my best to be a good son, brother and a housekeeper, of which I'm never good at. My style has been all cramped up since I'm back in Singapore. I'm in my mid twenties and at times, the way I have to not go out and stay at home, not been able to enjoy my time with friends and outing, make me feel like I'm a bird without wings. Not been about to go anyway, but home.

P.S. It's my one week break from teaching and I'm suppose to go kite flying today and guess what, here I am, been cramp at home.

what a relief!

It is my job at the moment. For some I'm a part timer and at times, I'm a relief. I have been a relief teacher for about a month now. I was thinking that being a teacher is a lousy job and if I were to become one, it has to be because of karma. This entry is to share some jokes that I had heard and shared with the kids in school.

Embrace yourself!

Joke 1#
Student 1: Teacher teacher!!
me: yes?
Student 1: See seee there got money. (student 1 pointing to the floor)
me: where?! (looking towards the direction)
Student 1 and student 2 & 3: $$ face!!! ( the whole class started to laugh..)

Joke 2#
Student 1: Uncle! uncle!
me(Looking lost) : go back and ask your friends what my name is.
Student 2 & 3 : He's mister Soh la..

Joke 3#
Student 1: teacher! ( while touching my periced ear loop)
Me: yes?!Student 1: why you got hole ah?

Reminder, student 1 is the same student!!!

At the end of the day, I still love the kids! :) will update more random stuff when i can recall.

Change is good. Been back HOME is even better


Good fun never stops with good friends. Cheers.

It has been a long time since I last updated my blog. Come on Mike, your blog can do with some updates too. Been back for about 3 weeks now. Time passes by so fast and my friends has already started their new semester back in UQ and also friends in local Uni. I'm stilling looking for a job but at the same time, I'm hoping to do some relief teaching in 1 of the primary school. People have been asking me about my life in Brisbane and have I miss the place much.

The answer is a Yes/No. Let me think of the things I don't miss. I don't miss my old house, landlord and some of the international students that I met there. There's nothing personal here. The things i miss a lot must be my church mates from Youth Fellowship, also people like Joshua, May , Ricky and Panda Jo~. It was so nice to have known all of you guys there in my short stay in Brissy and having gone through so much with you guys. I miss 3 monkeys, little singapore in Sunnybank, i miss going to the city aimlessly, I miss going to the chemistry building, I miss mircowaving my food @ the main refect and eating with Jo~ and talking about pple! All the little things that have make my life there so wonderful and beautiful are the things I miss. I knew money won't buy back the time or even the experince. And I was sure I did the best I could for most of the matter to enjoy and prolong the enjoyment and the freedom I have in Brissy. Now that I'm back, I can only look back @ the 1.5years that I was there and at times remember it with my sis Jieh-Yi over a cold beer and telling each other, one day, just oneday, U will be there again, doing it all over again but this time, we will be doing it just for the memories.

May time keeps my memory intact as I still try to live in a fariytale of my own.

P.S. The time @ downunder was great!!!! LOng live the memories.

The end of a new begining

Honestly what will become of me. I don't like reality. It's way too clear to me all the times. But really, life is daily and i will have to live with it. We are what we don't see and sometimes we missed everything daydreaming. The exams are over and it's the time to party!!! It's my last real holiday before going back to Singapore and start working. Another sets of stress and hope come in place. At least millions of people had walk this path before and it doesn't seem that bad. Oh well, who knows. Things may get a little better and clearer in times to come.

Channel SEven!!

It used to be bondi Recuse on Mon, Heroes on Wed, Lost and EArl on Thurs. As the temp hits 10oC, the life guard are no lonnger on tv series. I will have to wait til the next season. Last time, that would mean that i would use up 3 night just to catch them. To make things short, CHANNEL SEVEN just change the time slot for heroes to thurs!!!! Yes, now it's back to back action from EArl to Hiro then to Dr JAck... Rock On... OPPppssss.... I have to study soon.

2 more months

This sum it all up

Great company

I always hate theme parks and never thought that I would go for any of the famous theme parks at the Gold Coast. But Lela invited me to go with her while she was on holiday here. I couldn't let down a good friend, can I? Movie World wasn't as bad as I thought it was, I did enjoy myself with all the screen of Sherk 4-D and also, my hero when I was younger, Batman with the motion ride.

Our past experiences were telling us not to take the NEW Superman Escape and the NEW Batman Wings. It's almost like a deep drop landing into the abyss. Later on, we went to watch the parade @ the main street of Movie World. Characters like Cat woman, Batman, Sherk, Princess Fiona, Scoppy and Shaggy and many more were on the road, waving and greeting all of us.

The whole day was spent there to make the most of the $44 I paid for the ticket. A special mention goes to the Police Academy Stunt Show. The must see if you go to Movie World.

I always think that the theme parks are there to earn my money to fund the already rich people who are running the place. After this trip, to be fair, looking at the stunt men, the extras, and the people in the costumes, I did help a lot of the people in terms of job security and their families back home. Then come down to this point, what about Sea World? Which I will never go, just like the Ocean Park in HK. Do the poor killer whales or dolphins earn money? Like we humans do, example of maybe AUS$15 an hr? The animals are always in the park 24/7 "working" for us and yet all they get is 3 meals a day. Is freedom not worth the 3 meals? Or are we just being selfish? And making them our slaves?

Is this Legal?
Saw this at Indooroo, it's a kid's shirt. It makes me feel so patriotic.

Life is just a Banana

Do you have a buddy in your life? I was really happy when KFC decided to have the Buddy Meal " with the HIGH 5 action!" in my Poly days. This invention make me bring my buddy along for a good warm KFC meal. It's a time to catch up with one another. Coming overseas to study make me realise that , everyone at the least need a buddy wherever they are. Of course having a buddy staying or at the same State is a bonus too, any meal time is a buddy meal time. Of course with the High 5 action! All this make me think about B1 and B2, as seen in the picture there. Who's the B2 in your life? God don't make us alone on the earth but he make so many beautiful people like your friends, family and love ones to hang out with you. Go now, call a friend that you think is a buddy and go out and have a meal together. Not forgetting with the HIGH 5 action.

Desperate time comes desperate measure

Something that I learnt today. Don't just think, don't just hope. GO on and DO IT!!!!

Endless Nosense ended about ONE month ago

Had anyone from your household ever stare at you when u came back home? It's like the most weird feeling you ever had. This happened to me a few times and it just felt so weird. Why are there people, who are so busy body? Who in the world will bother to stand at the door for a good ONE minute just to watch and stare at your friend's car. Get a life, if not, at least try to act like you are doing something and not staring.

The church I am attending is just way too cool as compare to the last one I attended. They have proper system for sermons and duties. I like it that way and I knew most of the youth fellowers before I started attending their church; which makes my switch a good and smooth one. At the moment I'm still learning God's words and having a 1 on 1 bible study and that really helps alot.

Now now, I was having a conversation with B2. So it goes,

B2: It's funny hanging out with them.

B1: Ah. . . People who just got attached are like that.

B2: Really?! How come?

B1: They just act childish when they are madly in love.


Think about this, if 10 person came to tell you that you are always angry and no one DARE to talk to you, and worse, no one dare to tell you the truth. What can I do to help this poor person. But the person never knows that all of us are afraid of the person. It's not easy but someone have to do the dirty job. Thinking about it, I better leave that job to B2.


P.S. B2, remember, the answer for most questions is the same, it's SPONTANEOUS!
