I succumbed to the dreaded flu bug after many around me got infected by the pesky flu virus, it wasnt pleasant at all, since coming back from Melb, i haven't felt or been this sick and it wasn't funny shivering on a hot day and having to wrap blankets around you just to keep warm.
Fortunately, i hope the worst of the flu bug is over now as i am recovering from a fever and the numerous body aches the flu has inflicted on me.
On sunday i shall be making my way into Msia for my granny's 80th Birthday, for the uninitiated, my granny took care of me during my childhood till i was ripe for Kindergarden. All this while, we were staying in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, in a sleepy lil town famous for PINEAPPLES! =)
I recall with vivid and strong images of 'Ah Mah' bringing me across the causeway every once in awhile to renew the passport during my childhood years. The huge lorries, smokey engines and loud horns still remain in my head as i look back at how life was when i was a little boy. hurhur. =P
Ahhh the age of innocence.
I shall go fight off the headache i'm having right now.Shall be back to blog again soon i hope!
Course awaits me on monday...I'm missing my gal so much now.BOOO!

Our lives began to End when we began keeping silent about things that matter.
It isnt by choice that this blog has been a ghosttown for the last few weeks.
Being on course at the Western tip of the island and being ferried last week and next to an Island resort for military training doesn't help to allow me time to give this blog it's much deserved attention.
Spending time underneath the stars made me think about alot of things..about my loved ones, about my job, about my options for the future and it was the cumulative effects of these thoughts that reinforced my belief that this job is not what i really want to be doing for the rest of my life.
I want to spend more time with my loved ones, with my family, the present one and the family which i hope to build in the near future and not be out being swarmed by mozzies at 2am awaiting to be redeployed for another mission.
A job/career is an important part of a person's life, but it shouldn't consume the individual's entire life and there's a possiblity that this job will do just that to me with time to come.
What would i be when i am able to leave the force?
Dreams of starting a food biz, flying (piloting), doing research in History..i dont know yet,nothing firm has materialised but perhaps something will guide my decision in the near future.
The other thing that keeps my heart pumping is the continous thought of my loved ones as well as those under my command in the Scout platoon. Without people around us, i dread to imagine life as an individual whose life is devoid of concern about others. If you can't love, how can you be loved in returned? It is because of my love for those around me that keeps me sane in a place where although distances seem to have narrowed by technology, but due to economic reasons, individuals are being dispersed all over the globe, further and further apart with advances in transportation, what i yearn for after a crazy week is to return to the embrace of a loved one, to let my defences down, to be totally vulnerable and just let my tired soul be the way it should be..at peace and at ease, resting and recovering from the toils of each day.
You can be my lover, my family, my friends or even someone who only knows me through this blog, if you're reading this and you feel something warm within you.
Tell someone you love them this very minute.=)
