Bring me to Alaska!!!

Some of perceive one of the ways to travel the world requires you to get into this niche group we like to call aircrew. In reality, jobs nowadays requires you to travel very much often and to many different places as well.
As many of my friends could attest, though the places us non-crew visit aren't as glamorous or exciting, all in all, its really great if your job allows some opportunity for travel, especially when you're young and all! (LOL)
I'm really praying hard that i'll remain in the unit till they get back from overseas training in ALASKA!
YooHOOOO!! Think eskimos and sledgedogs people!! Yay!!!

hahaha

Meanwhile, training hard physically. =)
and checking out tattoo shops.heeheez

三只老虎,三只老虎。

Was out earlier with Gavin and the rest at the tattoo shop checking out designs for a tatt that i've been wanting to get very much and for a long long time.

I've found something tat i really like, its something outrightly 'beng-ish' ..yah, what to do?
everyone associates tigers and dragons with the underworld figures we've all seen adorned with skin art of such in movies and on telly.
But it's something i fancy very very much and i'm keen to get it done before i head up to thailand this june for the upcoming bilateral exercise.

5-6 hours under the needle doesn't sound very enticing. But even though it's my first time, i believe i'll be able to sustain.hurhur.

Latest update too on my posting..seems like there's still on conclusion as to where i'll be posted to, news come from all directions but i've learnt not to really be too interested in it anymore coz ultimately it really isn't up to me or as if i can make a choice. Its going good though, i don't feel so congested with thoughts and i'm just letting the usual nerve wrecking workload occupy my rather idle mind.

Been trying to read more but i'm always stuck with my manga and comics+anime that i've totally neglected about having good literature as part of my mental diet. Perhaps that is why i'm getting constipation up there and thoughts aren't coming out as much as they should!

An evening that was planned to be out drinking and enjoying the awesome live band at dragonfly now sees me in cyberspace dishing out my thoughts on this webspace. mmm i've really no true kakis at the moment whom share my passion n thirst for the strong drink, Thai Buddhism and sunnydays by the beach!

No wonder i'm unhappy!?


*Maybe i'll post my tatt out here if it becomes a reality. =)

HOPE

Hope is a dangerous thing.
It's so lethal, i think it should come with a health warning.

I think as we all go through this mortal life, somehow or the other we've learnt how upsetting it can be when hope doesn't translate into reality.
And as that happens and we swear off HOPE. One way or the other, it comes back to us almost karmic or seasonal like, to strike at our deepest emotional reserves again.

Be positive but not hope for too much i'll say. =)
Good Morning!

Are you Lonesome tonight?

In life, often we find ourselves in a situation whereby we find our pool of friends decreasing due to the different stages in life. What once was a merry gang of 13 bashful boys has now become no more. In work it is not much different, when you were in the junior ranks, the pool of fellow colleagues and people whom you interact with is vast and deep. As you progressed, this pool becomes smaller and rather shallow, by this i mean many things, there aren't any more true friends, each individual is another whom wants to outdo the other in some sense or the other. Each and every one has his own priorities then and no longer can you share the camaraderie where true bonds were formed.

I'm coming to a stage where i'll be posting out from my current unit soon, how soon or how late, i'm not sure. I'm sure however, that i'm very much gonna miss this tour and the people and men that have fought under my charge during this period. Where there was once 39, now there is only 38. I still think of him very much and the sadness is compounded when i realise i might very well be posted to a place where the incident took place that resulted in that loss.

Indeed, i've come to realize through it all that being in command is addictive. Though i could settle for a less tedious appointment and a cushier job elsewhere. The hard and tough times you go through with you men aren't comparable to anything else in this world for i strongly believe that only when you go through the toughest times together, only through that will you discover and forge the strongest bonds.

I wish i could stay till the men ord and get back to their lives out of the army, i wonder if that is possible, i'll keep praying for that though.

There's just too many things to think about and my grey hairs are multiplying by the dozens. I hope everyone out there is doing fine. =)
