Life Updates

1) 1 month and 16 days more before I appear in the subordinate court for the first time of my life all "thanks" to my mistake a year ago. Trust is a taboo word right now to me. Never trust your friend too much. Naiveness is non existence now.

2) Just got promoted to Second Sergent. This means more responsibility and an increase in salary. That extra cash will really prove handy at this times.


3) Still own a total of S$16,000 to friends and family members + S$2000 lawyer fee and an unknown amount of fine. Just imagine what I could do with those money if they were mine. Still manageable in life though.

4)Told myself not to smoke or drink in the Lunar 2005, I failed. Sigh.... cause the smoke and booze are free.

5) Stuck in the Class2A motorbike practical test due to financial difficulty to pay for another test slot. However I am still satisfied with riding my yellow 150cc scooter.

6) Wonder if I will be discharge from the Air Force after my court case. Have inform my OIC, OC and CO about the situation already. Hopefully my honesty helps. Any, I have planned for such eventuality.....

RSAF Celebrate 10 years of Operation in Peace Pirarie

RSAF CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF CHINOOK TRAINING IN THE US

http://www.mindef.gov.sg/display.asp?number=2439

What started as a small detachment of personnal to US, Texas State for the initial patch of Chinook CH-47D/SD Helicopter technical training have evolved to a ten years close relationship between RSAF Helicopters community and the US Army (they are operating the chinook instead of the US Air Force) under the Peace Prairie programme. The detachment provide RSAF the best possible operational training ground for both pilots and maintenance specialist which otherwise would not have been possible to acquire locally with Singapore constraint air space.

Our flying and maintenance squadron, with almost 10 years of Peace Prairie operation, have carve out a small lifely community in Texas consisting of Airmen, ground crew and their families. I look forward to joining them in 2 years time. In the meantime, I will have to bear the tropical humidity of Singapore for a while.

D-Day

yaya yada yada ya ya....

The future is really bleak.

In a few days time, I will be visiting OCBC Bank to clear my debts with them once and for all. I am lucky enough that they will consider allowing me to settle the outstanding amount at a reduced lump sum of S$18,000. It was suppose to be S$22K+ Interest. Gladly, I saved or avoided paying S$4K++. Finally, I am out of one ordeal that have been a mental torture for me. Right here, I will really and sincerely like to thank "Garfield" Soh, my Air Force colleague who have gave me financial support at the moment with no question asked. Next, I am a very very grateful to Alfred, my brother, for temporary lending me some cash as a short term loan. My sis and my guardian have also been very kind and understanding and provided all the necessary help needed in times of need although everything that happen was due to my folly and misjudgement. To this people and many others who have been quietly supporting and praying for me, I am forever grateful to your guys (gals). Just when I am so disappointed with how the world have dealt its blow against me, I saw lights in the darkness....

Having known that the bank debts will be settled is just only a temporary relieve for me. As you see, whatever loan I got is not for free. I suppose my life will be undergoing big changes, unwillingly on my part. All my plans will be on a temporary 4~5 years hold as I consolidate my position after this major "Battle" and try to recover. The first thing on my priority list is to return all the loans I took, regardless of friends, relative or siblings. This is going to be a very tough change as I have got use to the "Regular" salary and "Regular" lavish spendings. Somehow I have to relegate myself to a secondary school student spendings habit, temporary. I just hope that I will not screw up on my job that I will be gainfully employed for another 9 years. THAT, the screw up issue, I am very scared of right now. The Bank problem have just been settled at a great COST and when I less expected, I am implicated in some legal problem.

This legal problem, ironically, is the in the same package as this bank problem but with all the root cause going back to the same problem I mention last time. If the charges press against me were sucessful, I will have to pay a maximum fine of S$4000. Not only that, it could cost me my job as Civil Servant cannot be fined more than S$1000. Sorry, if the detail of the charges is not mention to you cause it will take another full length of this blog, its just some road tax and car insurance "not paid" issues. The issue is so serious (can cost my job!) that I have to spend money to get a lawyer to help me. Talk about when you are almost pennyless and still spending money to save your own butts....sigh

The bank were after me last time, now the law? GOD HELP ME PLEASE. Last time, I never expect that I can get so screw up in life. Got a Diploma, achieve very good results in Poly, High Flyer as a trainee in Air Force School, a secured good paying job...it all look so good. Just that 1 wrong decision making thrown me down this pit that I am so worried I can never climb out off.

---MAY GOD HAVE COMPASSION AND HELP ME THROUGH---

Good old days of Sappiea Jaws Soccer...

This story remind me of the good old days of soccer I enjoyed when I was in secondary school. Have never forget the first soccer match of Sappiea Jaws when we were trash 12-0 and I was the goal keeper....

My best friend wedding....

Few months ago, I have the joy and honour of attending my life first friend's wedding. In fact it was Renhan, one of the brother of the 9 Dragon Clan. My heart was fill of happiness for the occasion, so much so that I am oblige to go on stage to sing not one but two songs for my dear brother and his wife.

Few days ago, I again experience the same joy and honour of attending my life second friend's wedding. In fact it was Liting, one of the sister of the 9 Dragon Clan. My heart was full of happiness for the occasion but this time not really keen to go on stage again. Hmmm...seems to be repeating myself.... ha ha. It was Liting and her husband, Chee Kiong, BIG day last sunday and it was the usual fanfare of food and music but with a uniquely different atmosphere.

2 wedding in a year and a baby coming very soon courtesy of Renhan and his wife, suddenly it just seems like time fly past so very quickly and people around me have become husband and wife, father and mother. I am sure there will be a few more marriage happening with friends around me within this 2 years. And you know the funny thing about Chinese marriage? It is like the last occasion that you can get Ang Bow, tons of it, before you forever upgrade to giving Ang Bow forever.

Time flies and sometime I felt I have become a bit stagnant in my life. Just suddenly, probably due to the wedding and the fact that all the friends I met on last sunday wedding are either married or attached, I felt like I need a women in my life, a companion, a life partner to share my success, trial and triabulation. Maybe add a little spark to my life which at the moment is probably climbing out of its lowest point. Kinda regret not cherishing the ladies I been with in the past especially "HER", who I met during Poly times. Got too carried away with my school work, too discipline just because I signed on, that I totally ignore and blind of her affection towards me. Untill that very faithful day, the last day we ever met but it was the day when we both really got to have a really really long chat on anything under the sun.... So heart wrenching to hear her say "I really like you but I have to go now". Sob.... she is going back to her homeland and probably won't be seeing her again. I frankly was dumbstrucked when I heard the words coming out from her and could not stop stirring the coffee and thinking of what to reply her but that might be because she kept on talking all the way (she was kind of talkative, like my mum).

We did not met for the next two weeks untill the day she depart from Changi Airport. I did not meet her at the airport as I was in Tekong but I did gave her a call and chat for a while, telling her to contact me when she come back to visit Singapore. That night, I start to think of all that she did for me and realise I was a foolish man not able to see through her "hinting" and take action. That night I could not sleep at all but the next morning I cleared my IPPT 2.4km run at a record time of 8.54...WEIRD....
