well, i'm like missing everyone back home... been thinking of everyone, esp some ppl... haiz... had a happy but scary dream 2 nights ago, seems really real and the building in my dream was really beautiful... some thoughts are better to be forgotten...

hi ppl... another update from taiwan... well, i may get my sim card tmr afterall... yay!!! shall post my no up tmr... oopz, realised that i finished my phonecard vaue that night... hehe... haha, haven't been moving ard much these few days, was filled with sai gang... but most of the burden fell on s4... she's kindda poor thing, to be arrowed for things and managed everything... we couldn't help much too... haha... photoshop has been our only form of entertainment these few days... shane and i did some photo editing... i created some zai cd covers and postcards, while shane did jiaobinish editing stuff... really farni man... shall post them up when i'm back... btw, i'm kindda put off by pork over here... it's really fatty and gross...

weather was good 2 days ago... 17 deg... good weather for running... ran with s4 for bout 6km and the feeling was great... cool breeze and nice scenery of the harbour... but we sway lar, bumped into 'big boss' and hao xin mei hao bao... ran there to visit them and he accused us of being too free... sian diao lor... anw, if only spore had such weather and scenery for running... then it'll be nice to run with u... haaa sean, cnb still isn't very conducive compared to here... the weather was good to sleep in the nice comfy sleeping bag...

i realised that my chinese pronunciation cannot make it... though i try to speak properly but it sounds abit weird... and there's lotsa things i can't translate into chinese... and there're some words that are expressed differently over here... well, here's a gek news for the guys... the ns here is 1.5 years!!! if you're 1.55m or shorter, myopia of 1000 deg or more, heart, lungs, and other probs, you would not need to serve ns!!! best lor... that means that... half od 62 jiaobins will be freed from ns... gek gek gek... and they can serve ns after uni... ?!!

hmm, tmr and sun will be shore liberty... it's time to shop and eat till we drop and get out of that stressful office... sigh... but i'm running low on $$$$$$$... okie... time to go back liao... tata... having deja vus these few days... i think i've dreamt about some scenes in this office before...

next stop... the edge of the world...

Jaci Velasquez - You

Who makes
The sun light up my shadows
When the darkness tries to follow me?
Who makes
The air that brings me life
So I can breathe the love that's given to me?

You make ev'rything good,
Ev'rything wonderful.
You grace my days
And heaven fills my view.
Let's forever sing.
You make ev'rything pure,
Ev'rything beautiful.
You make me see the only thing that's true:
It's You,
It's You.

Who makes
The waters of my sorrow part
And leads the gladness into my heart?
Who makes
The rivers run that wash away
And clean my soul to make a new start?

You make ev'rything good,
Ev'rything wonderful.
You grace my days
And heaven fills my view.

Let's forever sing.
You make ev'rything pure,
Ev'rything beautiful.
You make me see the only thing that's true:
It's You.

greetings from taiwan...

hey guys, i'm in taiwan now... greetings... thank you for all the well wishes... well, i'm quite fine... the china airlines (b737) didn't crash fortunately... or unfortunately, if not there won't be ect anymore... but ect shall make his presence everywhere... hehe...

these few days have been sai gang... but not really alot to do also lar... settled uniforms, preparing the office and clearing up the place... the living conditions were better than what i expected and it's betta than the bunks back in 3 tpt, even though this place was built in 1972... kindda ghostly at night, with all the abandoned classrooms... we have a nice cozy classroom converted to a office plus bunk... there's great bathing facilities with hot water and yes!! no mosaic tiles!! well, the pool is really tempting to swim in but boo... we're not allowed to.. haha... the naval base is really really huge... it's as big as one jurong estate... crazy rite... went to heng chun and pao li camps to settle things too and it's like 2hr ride in the car... sat until my butt went numb... they used nissan sunny to fetch us there and their sunny is meant for big shots in taiwan navy to sit in one... so we're really fortunate to be able to take their gp car... well, the good thing about the sunny is that, there's no swd and they sped through the freeway at 120-130kph... hmm, the minibus also sped ard the same speed on the freeway too... kindda scary siting the minibus at that speed esp when it's conering... but we're still in one piece... anw, we're situated beside the dock... and it's really a great place to run... and clock mileage... ran everyday since i came here, shall run again later... i enjoyed the sea breeze n the sunset... marvellous to run with someone... well, as for touring... we're at zuo ying which is 30mins north of kaoshiung... but it's located at the south eastern tip of taiwan... hmm, took train to kaoshiung last nite for dinner... it's quite happening, much bigger and complicated... took some ect shots again... shall upload when i have the oppo to do so... darn.. the net in this net cafe doesn't support usb... well, the train sys here is like our mrt except the stations are more lok kok... but then it's more vibrant than spore... the steak house which we ate at was marvellous... 220nt = S$13 for a rib eye steak set meal... the desert and appetizer is free flow buffet style too... this place can trash any steak house back home... haha... oh yah, btw the pool centre at the mess over here is really cheap too... 200nt for 3hrs for a 9 inch table which is about S$12 likedat... well, my s4 went to chiong last nite at some pub to ying chou the other officers... and she'll bring us along one of these days... but i guess, i would love to visit more interesting places like the nature parks and spas... haha, the rest of the ppl will be sailing off sea tmr and won't be back till fri.. that means we're free from 'haressment' until they come back and we're free... hopefully we can get to go out.. haha... okie ppl, more updates coming up in a few days time...

btw, i still haven't gotten any sim card to call back... sigh... if there's any emergency, u can call 886-07-581-0853... but u gotta pay idd charges... haha... take care ppl, i'll be touching down at changi on 24 apr 0310hrs... haha...

bye nissan... i'm toyota... dream bmw...

goodbye nissan... hello toyota... should i say hi to nissan again? just drove my uncle's new nissan latio, it's really kindda cool, like renault meagane, with all the auto functions... keyless ignition, auto light sensor and so on... the touch was quite good... haha, but i guess it's easier to whack my vios, cuz it feels like a toy car...

no more nissan, i'm already part of the toyota family... well, maybe i should aspire to be part of the bmw family... like what i've mentioned before... toyota can't be compared to bmw... but it'll only be a dream, maybe an unrealistic one... singtel friends, pls lemme drive ur 645ci if anyone of u wins it... considered mazda too... though nice, but the engine isn't that good... oh well, i think toyota is still the more practical choice... stable... fuel consumption low... less complicated...
