So I was asking *sl if the diving trip is on.. He tell me his programme in KL is finishing and he may be heading to BKK le. *down 1*

So I ask Mr *x if he's keen. But I think a bit tough coz of his work. He says he'll get back. But I'll still go ahead and book on my own first. 

And the best part? Lynn came up to me this morning and asked if I'm a diver. Apparently when William and her were in HK he mentioned about me diving. Her husband is heading to Raja Ampat for dives in August!! *envious much* She was also asking who I dive with. Hahaha. I dive alone de. 

Anyways. In progress of planning my last dive trip of 2015 le. A bit apprehensive coz I'm heading to a country I've never dived before. But I guess I'll be fine. As always. =)

*random* I am such a picky traveller. =P

A quick sprint. A new hideout. 

Reminded me of the place *x and I went the other day. 

I think it's almost definitely the lack of sleep. I'm not cranky.. But just a little emo. Got home. Changed. And out I came doing my least favourite sport. Just wanted a little getaway from it all. 

A little while more and I shall head over to find some dinner. 

Do I want to know? Yes. 

Do I want to ask? Yes.

But will I? Nope.

Nothing like what an ice cold Light can do. Tiger's a friend's.. =)

And a first try of Glenlivet with coke. Not too bad.. Light (maybe they didn't pour that much) and very smooth. 

Good catch up with Sam though!

And I kinda dozed off during LHL's speech. Coz when he represented more of the country when speaking and referred to him by name rather than as his dad. 

But I enjoyed reading LHY's speech. Short but evoking emotions across people of all ages. 

Now. If I can write a speech like that... ...

The spanners in life. 

A good read. Next up? 

In the mood for some biography. 

Randomly. 

I want to go out for supper later at 1 or 2am.

I want pick up a bike license.

I want my brain to stick with me (coz I'm building a presentation from scratch - due date? Monday to present).

Over a session of CYT and I found another chat-table person. Another ACS boy. Ex water polo.. Swimmer.. And best of all.. AOW diver! 

Hahaha.. Sorta lunch-ed together. Then chatted about work.. The past.. Army life.. Family.. Food.. Diving.. Amazing! I still think divers are a bunch of easy going people. T shirt and shorts kinda person. And his accent came out when he was talking to Tim. Hahaha.. Nice chap! Future chances to work with him! Ha! I'm a happy girl! 

A simple teh o. A trunkful of memories. 

Was catching up with mum yest at dinner and I cannot believe we chatted for almost 5 hours straight. I guess there's really much to catch up. 

And I guess in a way she's right la. Don't write people off coz sometimes the way fate works. The most unpredictable one may be the one you end up with. And I know I spoke about him a little too much. But I'm still amazed at how long we've known each other and how recent we've only started to get to know each other slightly better. 

等一个人的苦咖啡. 

A throwback to our trip a couple of weekends back. A single shot trying to capture the emotions. And a series of similar poses ensued. 

And interestingly it got me thinking this morning. 

How frequent I've flittered from one to another. No wonder PM and WY has trouble keeping track. Hahaha. 

Over the years of getting used to being alone. I've tried and done so much more. Backpack and travel and dive and ride and drink and eat alone. And no longer do I feel the uneasiness nor awkwardness when I first started. And along the way.. I realized that I've indeed changed much. 

I know what I want from life. What I wanna do. What I wanna achieve. And that I've yet to find a person that can hold me down. As each trip passes by. I've become more independent and free spirited that sometimes I think I worry if I can find anyone to hold me down and let me go when necessary. I doubt it actually. Being too strong willed and reluctant to allow anyone to come close doesn't help. 

But ah well. Fate has its way around and it's just not my time yet. And who knows? With Russia looming close and Malaysia and US after.. Maybe fate will decide to pay me a visit then instead? =P

Another alcohol with my dinner tonight. Moscato from Japan. Sweet lo. But ok la.. Bought soju from my office's korean supermarket though.. Hee! 

... ...

Anyways. I just realized to get the divemaster certification I need 6 weeks. Like seriously. 6 weeks straight of theory and practical and diving everyday. I'm suddenly unsure if I can make it that far. It'll mean that probably if I do it. Means I'll have to sacrifice my 2 months sabbatical to complete it. Then there goes my South America trip. =( 

Totally at a lost. Maybe the sabbatical I won't even get to travel. 2 years more. A lot of things can happen in 2 years' time. Sighz. 

So I've acquired such a taste for alcohol recently. My weekend 2 weeks ago was spent drinking in JB with the ex-CCK4 group. 

Soju and wine.

More soju with beer mix.

And then we went Jusco and bought more alcohol. And then I drove us back to the hotel. It's quite obvious there's no kick lo. Since the aim was to get drunk and high. We bought a cider and a beer. The cider was good.. The beer not as much. 

And Johnnie Walker double black with mixers (wrong mixer of green tea - no sugar =/ and coke).

We all got high.. And 2 got drunk. Only 4 of us drinking only. Coz after that I could go down craving for prata (which unfortunately has closed) and had my teh-o at 2 in the morning.. Hahaha. And the only person surviving was *x and me. So yeah. La teh till 3.30am till we had to go back and knocked out (while another fellow continue the puking session) while we all fell asleep. 

Came back not long and met Mo and *c for another korean BBQ session. Hahaha. And I had my beer! And Mo started getting talkative after 1/2 glass. Thank god *c went back with him. I told Mo next time wanna drink we go JB drink. And that's what we're doing again in April. Hahaha. Another drinking session!!

And after ECC that day. Went with Kelvin kor kor to junction 10 for korean (again). And I realized I couldn't resist the soju calling me. So we ordered a bottle and shared and I could walked home (took bus then walk la) after that. 

Dinner with PM and WY and I had more to drink. Hahaha. This's the same week as the ECC class date (I think the next day). I love this beer!! 

And I hate this beer. Thank you to PM for downing it all! =P

While I took this instead! (No Koppaberg ma..) And this was quite ok..

And the following night went with Kelvin kor kor and Candy and we cleared all 5 bottles in a sitting. 

And today.. Met sister for korean (yes again..) and cleared another bottle of soju.

In a short 2 weeks. I've been out drinking like 6 days. And I've a couple of days at home drinking too. Really alcohol diet liao. No wonder I think my beer belly is coming out. And no. I'm still not drunk. Not even high. 

But I texted *x about the question he asked me when we were in Malacca. 

Ah well. I look forward to getting drunk on the last weekend of April again. Too bad no Mr *x this time. =(

It's been a happening Monday.

Just a couple of days ago I posted this picture with the caption of saying I wanna be a divemaster in a couple of years' time. And now the more I think about it. The more I wanna do it. Then I can travel on liveaboards and dive for free (though I'll need to work la..) but it's such a chance! Now.. If I can just pass my boating license and go learn my divemaster course next year.. Then I'll be able to dive for free (almost!) and it can be a retirement plan.. Hahaha. Is that too much to ask for? 

Had lunch with Mandy. Mo and *c today. My so-called 家用 coz I didn't bring my wallet down. Standard.. My walking ATM will fork out first. Hee! 

And dinner with Mo and *c again! Treasure the times I get to spend with them and catch up. We're the pillars of support for each other. And every day I tell myself that I will treasure them. Coz it may come to a day when circumstances may change and things will be altogether so different. <3 

This morning at 3.18am. Lee Kuan Yew has passed on. I hate it when the news says he has died. Sounds so crude. Aren't they supposed to be more elegant in their language? Given.. I'm not a fan of LKY. But I really do appreciate all he has done for this country I call home. 50 years and how we've grown and prosper. From a small fishing village to where we are today - of skyscrapers and a first world country. From an unknown island to a famous red dot around the world. My worry (even though I'm not in the position to worry) - that other superpowers will start to try their luck against us. Or even our neighbors. And then.. Who's gonna be there protecting us? Sighz.. 

And randomly. To that person who out of the blue contacted me after 2 (?) years.. It's really random and honestly I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw the watsapp name. But no.. I'm not saying anything bad hor. I'm just stating a fact. I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Thanks for the concern for me too. And in a way.. I'm happy you're still reading. =)

翻着翻着. 我想起了第一次我上了你的车. 想着想着. 我还在想为什么你那时会问我那么一句话.

翻来翻去. 我回想到那时喝醉了的你. 发给我的那一个简讯.

如果有一天我也喝醉了. 我想我也应该会发那封简讯给你. <3

Been quite a long while since my last walk/night walk. Decided on a whim to do it tonight. Since Camiguin.. This's the first time I had time to sit and listen to the sounds of the night. It's an amazing day. And amazing week. 

已经不再会想念你了. 这一路. 我终于走过来了. 

I love to get drunk and high. But there's really that many people (only) who can control me when I'm that high. And only that selected few I allow myself to get high with. 

For unknown reasons. Maybe coz I trust them that much ba.. People like *h. *x. Mum. *c. Chole. Clarence. (In no order of merit.) and especially after reading this article. All the more I feel thankful for those people around me who allow me to get high and drunk. Maybe somehow when I need to let go and drink. They're there. I only hope my tolerance level stays. 

Wtf. This India beer is super strong! Or was it I didn't have enough oily food during dinner? I can feel the alcohol coursing through my veins. O.O 

Thank god I'm at home. 

Tabao-ed breakfast from 302 this morning and bought the teh-o from Marina Country Club.. Finally finished the theory and practical le. Time to go for check up and to book the theory test. After which is the practical. I just hope that we can clear both on the first try. 

Woke up with damn bloody sore thighs this morning (and I slept for 11 hours straight!) It's been quite some time I felt such sore thighs. Ouch! 

Then today rode out to Punggol for lunch. Hahaha. And then on our way back he forgot where he's going and we lost our way in Woodlands. Ended up dropping me at Sembawang instead. Ha! 

No matter what. Thanks for the rides Mr *x! =D

'Love bite' from *x's bike. It shows. It's been too long since I'm on a sports bike with nothing to grab but the person in front. And especially when that person is a guy. lll-.- ok la.. At least after that when grab him he also ok.. But I kept sliding down lo. Wth. I just felt uncomfortable being so close. He said it's ok.. Hmmmz.

A late lunch coz we ended at about 2.30pm. So this was like at 3.30pm? 

But today's been good. 

有人载. 我坐. 有人买. 我吃. 幸福到家! <3

And when that person was not eating the same thing as you but still bought for you. <3 

好久没被宠了! <3

Seeing this photo suddenly makes me realize how old I'm really getting.. A group of guys I worked with 6 years ago.. And today most of them are going NS soon.. Or regular le.. 

And brings to the point that some friendships really lasts long.. Look at pm and wy and me.. Yes there may be breaks earlier in the friendship but we've come far.. =) 

Here's to more friendships to come! =)

On this day. I've deleted the app. Happy birthday to you. 

http://youtu.be/KvfnR285l3M

Suddenly hooked on these mini movies. <3 

... ...

And someone just pissed me off. Honestly. Don't you know how to take a hint?? First we invite. Then you blame us for last minute. Hello. 2 weeks is not last minute. And I'm seriously not looking to have to spend that amount of time with you. Period. Now coz of you I have to change everything again. Bloody fuck. 

http://youtu.be/5iQovHyzIQ8

Interesting to it. And the name. And similar to Tinder.

Suddenly an influx of thoughts and emotions. 

希望你还过得好. 

2 important people in my life. Mo and *c. Was talking to them today and realized things haven't change.. Not even a little. The only change was the threesome that we were have broken up and left with the 2 of them. And *c was telling me that it's time for me to go back to ops coz the 2 of them are dying le. Each of us is the last defense for the other. Anytime if we're only one left we'll tender. The only difference now is coz I'm in TLD. I have a new group of support. Just not as close. But open and good enough. 

So the 2 of them took this and sent me today. With the caps lock of 'CAFE HOPPING'. <3 we didn't hop a lot together.. But more than the usual colleagues. And the breakfast and lunch and dinner. 

Thank you for your <3 guys! 

.:elmoNcookie:.

I simply love this pic.. Even though it's a bit too kiddish. Coz went USS on Sunday with Sam. Her bf. And his friends. And it was my first time in the Sesame Street show! Hahaha.. And I was telling *ck that Elmo was so cute! But too bad no Oscar.. =P

Yeah.. It was a fun day out.. We strolled like 3 times round the park. Had time for lunch and Starbucks and caught all the major shows and almost all the rides (sans Potion Ride and the merry-go-round at Madascagar). And coz the other 4 were of 2 couples.. *ck and I stuck together.. Except he didn't take the Canopy Rider.. Hahaha.. The rest when they had to spilt us into 3 each. The 2 of us very auto de. =)

If not those 2 riders kinda ride we ride together lo. Like Jurrasic Rapids. The Dino flyer like thing.. Spaghetti Chase.. Treasure Hunters.. Far Far Away.. Shrek 4D.. Then the 2 shows we were always sitting by the sides.. Coz the couples were a little too lovey dovey for us to stick around much. Hahaha.

But really fun group of people to hang with. No pressure. No need to keep talking. =)

But I kinda regretted not buying the Oscar keychain which he went to buy just before we left. Damnit.
