Taiwan
Finally back in s'pore!!!
It's great to b back at home after being away in taiwan for 2 wks.Tis is e longest period of time i've been away frm hm.As much as i missed hm alot,i wish i got more time 2 tour taipei more,which is somethin i'll say later.
Before i left s'pore,a lot of ppl told me tat it's quite cold at tis time of e yr.But during e next few days,it's almost jus as hot as in s'pore.Nt much of a diff.It onli started gettin cold n rainy during last sat n sunday,jus like wat a taipei taxi driver told me n my frens 'winter is comin'.
I can't realli tell wat i do for e last 12 days or else SAF is goin 2 charge me(wait until ord,den i blog all bout it).However,e last 2 days is more memorable.
Sat:
Left e camp in e morning 2 go 2 liu fu theme park,1st destination for R&R(rest n recreation).Actually,it was my 1st time goin 2 a theme park,so dere's alot 2 expect n b sua ku about.The 1st ride i took was something like a lift.One has 2 sit in e ride where u'll b taken 50 m up in e air n suddenly fall 2 e ground.It was super scary n real fun.I'll put e photo nxt time.Nxt is e viking ship n my last ride is called e ring of fire.That ride is realli sick.It's a coaster ride but mus go round n round a circle rail.Luckily i nv vomit or faint...hehe.
After e theme park,we headed straight 4 hotel in taipei.On e way,e tour bus brought us 2 buy some native products.For me i bought 2 boxes of sun biscuit.When we arrived,it was ard 6pm liao n it took me n my frens 1.5 hrs 2 hurry 2 shilin night market.There r lots of gd buys n gd food ard tat area.Hehe...i bought 1 t-shirt n ate stinky tofu wif e bros.The tofu realli stinks,nt jus in smell but also e after-taste.But it taste gd,ironically...heehee.Near e shilin mrt station,we also played 2 games dere n won a dice(nt those small ones lah!!).After all e shopping n eating n firing e pistols,we went back 2 e hotel wif a full stomach n some stuffs.
Sun:
Me n my frens woke up in e morning n head 2 taipei 101 via metro trains.In taipei,normal train rides will nd u 2 buy plastic chips 2 go thru e ticketing gates.Pretty interesting.The stations r veri well ventilated,maybe too well ventilated.30 mins,we reached taipei 101 n went up the tower.Taipei 101 is currently e tallest buidling in e world at 449.2 m n e lifts r e fastest in e world also.The lifts took jus 37 sec 2 reach 2 89th lvl frm e 5th lvl.Overall,it is an architectural n engineering wonder.The final destination after taipei 101 is ximenting,taipei's orchard road.Ximenting was super crowded wif shoppers n fans coz dere's some boyband holding autrograph session.We had a hard time going thru e crowd but it was worthwhile coz we shopped what we wanted at bargained price,onli 4 me.I wished dere would b abit more time,so tat i can buy watever in my shoppin list.However,ximenting is a mus-go place if one comes 2 taipei.After tat,we went back 2 e hotel n head straight 4 e airport.The rest is history
Hmm...i'll put up e photos soon.So nitey!!

sticky tapes
And now, a new use for sticky tape... X-rays from PhysOrg.com
Scotch tape is not only see-through, it can also see through, for the product can be used to take X-rays, bemused scientists say.

Uncertainty
"The only certainty is uncertainty"-deige(my fren's nick)
That's the line i've always see when my fren send his email attachment 2 me during poly times.It holds true esp during such a time when u see everyone being uncertain bout hw e financial situation unfolds.There's so much bad news bout e financial market tat it hogs almost all e page in the main straits time section(by the time,i post tis it would b sat).Most likely,we will feel its full effect nxt yr when all these spill over 2 e real economy,our job,salary etc....As for me,am quite concerned bout whether i can even get a job after i ORD.Another things am also quite concerned is over my finance for overseas study coz dere's been a veri long delay in getting e money.There's a real chance tat i've 2 alter my plans n move 2 Plan B,which something am nt willing 2 do.
But jus nw,tis verse came 2 my mind when i was flipping thru a book someone gave me long ago.Then i flipped thru e bible n saw tis verse in 2 peter 1:2
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
It reminded me who shld we take comfort frm,who we shld take a firm grip on as things moved in2 greater uncertainty and who we shld trust in.It's nt jus enough 2 noe who's we shld take comfort frm,but we shld believe tat Jesus died on e cross n rose again on e 3rd day 2 free us frm sin n 2 give us abundant life thru relationship wif God.As we know him more n more,we can b assured tat wif him in control everything will b fine,no matter hw bad things may turn out jus like wat is said in romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose.
Tat's y christians can b at peace n b confident despite of current situation.But we have a choice to take tis promise of peace n grace as shown frm e 2 words "be yours".These 2 words describes of e hope tat e writer,Peter,had for his readers 2 make e choice 2 claim God's promise of peace n grace.So let's hav e faith n courage 2 make tis choice ba....
ok...time 2 knock off liao...adios!!

Twisted ankle
wat a time to write a post!!Hopefully i won't get myself injured by e time i write e next post...Yet coz of it,i got lots of time 2 update n keep tis blog of mine alive...hehe.
Last wk,i've twisted my ankle again.Yes,again for e 2nd time.It happened when i was at e low ramp for e SOC.During tat time when i was running towards tat ramp,i spotted lots of holes below e ramp.I got a bad feeling bout it but i still jumped n e rest is history.After booking out,I was hopping like crazy to move ard since i can't use my left foot 2 stand,let alone walk.But thank gdness i went 2 TTSH(tan tock seng hospital) to see a doc.The diagnosis is nt too serious,jus "ligamental strain".I also got a pair of crutches since i can't put my left foot on e ground n walk.The crutches realli realli saved me,if nt i gotta hop ard e hse like a hse bunny.OOps...nt like e one u see on movie ok...lol.But anyway i feel tat ankle is gettin better n better.
Anyway tis is one of e many post am goin 2 put up tis wk to make up for lost time.So 別れ!!(farewell in japanese)

Humongously long........
Today is an off day.
A timely distraction frm the usual boring deployment life in jurong island.
A fleeting glimpse of what's to come 11 mths later
Jus nw i went back to SP for a little while to see if i can get my course handbook.I nd it to apply for module exemptions when am applying for aussie uni.It feels realli nostalgic going back to SP for there are many memories made there.Passing by the library,CLS building brings up lots of memories where i used to carry survey forms as a step to bring people to christ,as well as studying like no tomorrow during those days.But it's didn't get e handbook today.Heck it.
After tat,i went to e library to borrow a bk.Gonna bring it to jurong island to pass some time.It's called tale of genji.It's written uber long time ago n e moment i read e 1st few pages,i noe it's goin to b a challenging read.
But tis wk is one crazy wk,there's so much conflict in my section.Simply becoz one person wants all e benefits at e expense of others (can't write it in detail coz saf could b watching it).It has been goin on for many wks ever since tis deployment began but finally stopped 2 days ago.Hopefully,he noe his mistake n change.Hopefully.....
Hmm....i tink tat's all i hav for nw...adieu!!
