Warning: This is going to be a super long post.

Finally back to update my dusty blog. *wipes dust off. i have jus completed International Cadet Exchange (Singapore) recently, which was like yesterday. send off the final cadet and officer, Tyler and Phillip from Australia in the evening and Alister in the early morning.

shall start with my reflections on Vietnam Trip first then move on the IACE (Singapore)

Vietnam History Trip (Hanoi) 31st May 06 to 4th June 06

i would say that the trip overall was pretty fun and enjoyable. re-establish my links with my sec and primary school makkals (brothers) and got to see the many different sides of people and i must say my impressions of them have really changed alot. this trip really open my eyes to many things which i onli suspected but not confirmed. if you want to know what i think. jus refer to elly's blog coz i am asking the same type of questions as she is.

Day 1

met dom & sk for lunch at the airport around noon. saw navin there who invited us to join us for lunch. haha, can you believe that i pack my bag onli in the morning as the previous day i was in camp helpin out for IACE. so it was last minute rush for me as i decide what to bring and what to wear.

later, we went to T2 to makan our lunch at the staff canteen and slowly rot our time away there until it was nearly time when mark and inez *aherm* called dom to ask where he is. so sk and i decide to be invisible and hide away. dom went to meet them and later we meet up to go to budget terminal to meet up with the rest of the gang.

what is a trip with out a bottle of vodka? bought a bottle at the DFS before we departed for consumption during the trip. before long, we are goin on board the plane to embark on the great journey towards the unknown- Hanoi. on board the plane, i was pleasantly surprise as it was not as bad as how i picture it out to be, my initial impression was formed by my friends who describe it as if it was really dangerous and run down. but it was nice and comfortable, though the seats were jus a little bit cramp.

and we reach hanoi after a 3 hours flight and when we touch down, we were greeted by Quinn (not the exact spelling but that was how he told us to prounce his name) and taken to a Vietnamese vegetarian restraunt for dinner. though some of the food was rather bland, i must say that it is still very nice. after that we check in to our hotel- Volga Hotel, a 2star hotel but i would say it seems more like a 3 or 4 star hotel. the room condition was good man. i have no complains abt it as i have slpt in worst before. but i like the bed as it is very hard and comfortable.

after unpacking our things, i decide to call it a day and rest i was quite tired due to the fact that i did not sleep for the past 2 days as i was having fun in camp.

Day 2

we visited Ho Chinh Minh's Mausoleum, House & Museum, Hoa Lo Prison and ended off with the Water Puppet Show. i like the water puppet show as it was pretty nice though it was boring for some of it. then in the night, i cause some confusion as Bartley Gang thought i was with the Indian Gang and the Indian Gang thought that i was with the Bartley Gang. haha. while during this time i was in my room sleeping peacefully. the Bartley Gang had a party without me, which i do not really mind as i would rather stay in my room and rest then waste my time with certain irritatin people there. well, i can be anti-social if i want to. do not need company to survive. not the type that without some attention i would feel sad or wat wan.

Day 3

we went to the Vietnam National University and the Temple of Literature. at the university we interacted with the students there and quite enjoyed ourselves though it was burning hot. the students were warm and quite hospitable and we felt jus at home there.

in the afternoon, we went to the french quarter and we visited St. Joseph Catedral. it was truly a classic church, after that dom and i separated from the group and went to explore the church and went on our way for our own shopping, meetin up with the rest later. after that we went to the Opera House and i was impressed by the imensity and grandeur of it all. manage to secure myself a box seat. lol. not to watch a play but jus to sit down there and see the interior of the hall. that very night, we had a opening ceremony for the Vodka and drank to our heart's content and had a very interesting discussion with someone who is just to stubborn to understand the simple points that i was tryin to put across.

Day 4

we left the city area to move to to the countryside. and we visited the Phat Diem Cathedral. it was a chinese-looking church. the journey there took abt 3hours and we visited the area and i saw many paddy fields. the church itself was more impressive by than St. Joseph's. but the trip there was spoilt by some people who just cant keep their mouth shut but rather choose to question the core of our Catholic faith. showing no respect at all to our religion. questionin Cathlolism itself in God's Own Backyard.

after that we went for some shopping at the night market and bought stuffs and we called it a day. of course, what is a day without some vodka? dom, elly and i together with mr lim spend sth in the room talking some kok before we went off to sleep.

Day 5

Check out in the morning, and after that it was off to Pottery Village and i am amazed by how something so difficult can appear as something so easy to the craftsman. went for a cyclo ride after lunch and i really enjoyed the ride. it was jus like riding a trisaw. and we went around the Old Quarter. after that we head off to the Airport to prepare to come home.

and finally it was Home Sweet Home!!!


International Air Cadet Exchange (Singapore) 28th May 06 to 12th June 06

in total i help out for half of the exchange due to overseas trip. and i totally enjoyed myself there as we bonded with the cadets. of course we visited the standard places of interest in Singpore eg. Zoo, Sentosa, Night Safari, Wild Wild Wet etc. me did not go to all the places but to some like the zoo and sentosa. though it was free for all the CLTs, i would say the Air CLTs really did try to make their stay as fun as possible but interacting with them and making them feel at home. but i simply do not understand the unnecessary presence some Land people. after all this is purely an AIR stuff. they come for it also extra. like when they visit the Airbases, they really stand out.
not that i wanna say, but i think that some people are really born with thick skin and skulls even though they may be smart and come from branded schools. IQ high but EQ low. maybe the dumb blonde theory is correct except that this time round is not a dumb blonde but a dumb chinese. but ya. we can all feel the animosity that is in existence whenever that they are around and they cant feel it? are they really that thick skin or bu yao lian (dun wan face) ? i do not believe it. they should jus knw when to quit even though their intentions may be good? is it? shall be nice and give them benefit of doubt. :)) would say that we treat them nicely coz there were foreign cadets about. but if not....god knows what wld have happened to them.

see i am nice and not like the meanie that feline say i am. kekeke.

like they say, birds of a feather flock together. no wonder She is such good friends with them. all of them are exactly the same. thankx god, she wasnt helpin out too otherwise she would have join the list of hated outcasts which i think she should.

am really sad they have to go as after all, all good things must come to an end. i do hope to see them again sth in the future though i doubt that there wld ever be such a chance again.

i guess that is all for now. shall comment more tomorrow.

right now, sitting in air office using Sham's lappy to update my blog and to connect with the world. while the rest are catching the Singapore Idol Results Show. guess we are going to start our movie marathorn later.

jus had kayaking today. been quite a long time since i last went to kayak and it was a real fun time today when i went with the foreign cadets. tomorrow will be sentosa outing and soon IACE will be over and all of us will be back to our old lifestyles.

book into camp last nite with Jamie. had dinner with her and Eric, her friend initially before catching a cab into camp. following which we started with a movie marathorn which lasted throughout the night. Fique, Alvin, Shams, Jamie and myself. caught 3 movies through the night. started off with Scary Movie 4, Wet Dreams then finally American Pie: The Wedding. it was really shiok and quite fun. and we are going to continue with Round 2 tonight. :)) tonight shows would be far more interesting as we jus went to rent some movies ta catch

going home on sunday. then after sunday, my hols would officially start then i can stay home to slack and rot already. then before long it will be the start of school and followed by Mid Year. really need to start some form of revision now. keke.

it seems that whatever that i say on my blog is open for a lot of scrutiny by some annoymous people. i mean, if you dare to pass such comments jus have some balls (if you have) to leave ur name behind. is it really that hard?

this blog is a private blog for my personal viewing and the viewings of my friends. if you do not like what i have written on my blog, jus click on the X button at the top right hand of the screen or you can always link to another blog. i did not force or ask you to read my blog, rather i prefer if no one reads my blog. so at least i can have some privacy to scold or curse at anyone and everyone. or to state my true feelings about certain things or people. but no, these few jokers choose to leave behind comments which i deemed is unnecessary. moreover, i do not talk to strangers. they seem to be threading between the fine line between stupidity and ignorance.

i do not mind if my friends comment about it, at least they know me to a certain extent. unlike you, a total stranger whom i barely know. but i tell you what, i give you benefit of doubt. maybe you know me but i do not know you.

do keep talking, someday sometime somehow, i believe something intelligent will come out from your mouth! :))

back from Hanoi for around 2 days. you can say that i sorta miss the place. not because of the people that went there but rather because of the lifestyle that the people lead. a simple and yet not complex lifestyle with no heavy reliances on technologies. it is something that you cannot find here in singapore. my post on my history trip would come later, as it is quite a long one.

i would say that this hanoi trip really benefitted me as i got to know not only myself better but also my classmates too. my initial impression of people really went further downhill after this trip as i got to see what i would deem as the ugly sides of many of my classmates. however, some impressions remain unchanged. well, but it doesnt take an idiot to guess which classmates of mine whom very existence that i simply detest now. cant help it, jus being me. if i hate u, i really do. nth you do can change it.

if you think that you understand me, you don't. i think that i am jus like an onion, many layers and when you think that you peel off one, there is another lurking beneath. i can be fun loving or i can be a real bastard but i am still being me. how others view me doesnt really concern me, i am jus happy being myself, in the ways that i feel would be best. i have never seek to be understood by anyone as i do not feel the need to do so. my actions speak for themselves.

to my frenz, i believe i appear as a fun loving dude with no care for my surrondings who borders on the fine line between stupidity. haha. which is quite amusing most of the time i must say as it gets me the things that i want which is quite useful. so jus take me as that and dun try to understand me better. i am quite a complicated character. everything that i do, i do it for a reason. manipulative? perhaps. scheming? perhaps. i really dont care what others think abt me. it's better not to knw. what you do not knw cant hurt you. and i am reemphasising it.

sometimes, i think that being too loyal to frenz is no good at all. it doesnt pay to be that loyal. my actions jus get misinterpreted and i get misunderstood. good intentions turn to bad ones. it happens all the time. minghui was an example. sometimes i think i care too much that why when my actions catches up with me it hurts so badly. is it really worth it to suffer for friends? does it really pay to be loyal? i shld really question myself after all that had happened. i do know that sometimes i like to impose my thinkin on others, but i really cant help it when i see my friends walkin down a disastrous route. it's jus not me. i am not the type that leave my frenz in the lurch. i would rather hurt myself than my frenz. but after all that had happened to me. i guess my thinkin may perhaps be warped. perhaps it's time to reevaluate.

seriously, i cant really be bothered with all the things that has happened alr. if it's meant to be, it will be. i jus leave it to fate. i believe tat fate is not blind and justice would prevail on the side of the victims.

i cant be with the same group of frenz everyday. besides you, i have other frenz too. i have to balance between both. you dont expect me to be with you everyday, every hour rite? you are not my only frenz. i feel that i am neither here nor there. i could be everywhere with anyone. not necessary with the same group of people. i learn frm my mistakes of last year and i do not seek to make the same one again.

well, a long time ago, i did open up myself to someone, but in the end i ended up gettin hurt, i got this person to understand me which i think she did but in the end all my efforts came to naught as i learnt that she was just like the stereotypical impression that i have for every other girl. she was no different. all girls are the same. it was because of them that the original sin came about when eve was tempted by the snake who in turn later went to tempt adam.

after all that has happened i would still stand by my stand that gers are nothing but trouble. and they are serious trouble and it is a bias point of view which i do not care to change irregardless of what others may have to say.

i just plain hate most girls because of YOU........

Back From Hanoi, Vietnam.

so many things to say but so little time. will do a super long updating at the end of the week when the foreign cadets go back. right now all i will say is that the trip is fun and enjoyable but of coz there wld be certain incidents that sorta spoilt it. that's all for now. :))
