Here are we at OCEAN PARK!.

it had been almost 10 yrs since i came as a kid who cant play alot of rides due to height limitations.

but this year..its different!.

and also, i duno wats the difference between 10 yrs ago n now..as i had forgotten wat how it looked like last time, but one thing i remember is tat..

the kille whale was ard the 1st time i came, but not now as it has died a year later i left..









at the entrance!

so many ppl la. even on a normal weekday.

most of them from mainland China.
u duno how 'kiasu' they are until u see them..

lol



















inside the cable car!.

the ocean park has 2 land to go..

n u can only reach the other land by cable car..





























from the cable car..
























still a long way to reach the other side...





























the South China Sea,

viewed from the cable car..


























warning..






























we are inside the Sky Tower,

a carriage tat brings u to a very high level above ground..

so tat u can see the whole Ocean Park.

























a misty South China Sea..



























at the JellyFish Aquarium..

u see all types of jellyfish..
























glow in the dark..



















a characteristic of the shark





















a baby shark

this place is somehow like the 'Underwater World'

at sentosa. but its bigger than Sentosa..
sotong swimming!

a stingray.

octopus

seahorses

coral reefs

an community

sea urchins.

30 yrs old:)

did u see a sealion?

ok. this is the aviary where u can find BIRDS!.

but u cant find Big bird...


cos it's at Sesame STREET!!..zz

a purple-red parrot.

bird shit all ard..

but its not easy to get one..

Panda sleeping..why?..

cos we only visited him at ard 6 pm when the park is about to close. we queued for the cable car for 1 hr++ just to cross to another land. there shld be another mode of transport to bring ppl across ma.
anyway we still get to see them sleeping rite?.haha.






there are actually more things to see n play at Ocean park! i did not include the scary thrilling rides cos i did not take pictures while im on it.haha. Seriously, the opening hrs are too short..n there are really too many ppl. again, from mainland..

Ocean park is bigger and better than disneyland in terms of fun and items, but both have their adv/disadvantages.
u will just find tat time travel too fast in Ocean park and too slow at Disneyland.

Stanley Ho Market!

its a beautiful place where u can take alot of pictures tat u will not see in singapore:)

its right after Deep Sea and Repulse Bay, but we decided to skip those 2 since there are more thigns to see at Stanley Ho Market!

the 'Don'ts'...

who has more?..

S'pore or Hk?..lol

wonder how they do high speed pursuit.heh..

we walked behind the jetty to come to this place where it is full of big rocks. another nice place for shots:)

enjoying the breeze..

below are all the beautiful sceneries at Stanley Ho market:)

from all the pics u can see.. most of them include the sun.

why?.

anyway, i have finally completed posting my trip to HK!!.it took me about 1 week to finish posting as there are far too many pics alr, cos i took abt 1000 pics.HAHA. but they are all nice pics..

new year coming!. i will continue to update more frequently!!!!

yay!.
its nov.
another post from me..

anyway..apd sux la..dint pay ns guys meal allowance during fasting month..wat the..
duno wat they are thinking..

anyway, 127th guys have joined the team. so im at least not newbies in the team alr..haha.
got new guys understudying me..actually theres not much to teach. jobs at airport are quite straight forward and things can be done in simple steps. maybe im just 3 months more experienced than them....

127th in , 122th out!
122th is my 1 year old intake..which means. 1 yr from now is my turn:)

131th in , 126th out!!!
ok.. tats 8/11/2008......


anyway T3 is out !!!
good for public!..
but maybe not for us..
its open for a few weeks for public visit..but theres nothing much to see la..
for wat i can say now..its abit like expo.. too big n sometimes u feels tat more things can be added in..
hmm..maybe its still the beginning ...

just cant wait for a holiday..leave singapore to enjoy..
if not airport can bore u to death..haha..lol.

wow.
it seems it had been quite a long time since i last blogged.
it seems like nothing happened in the month of september.
this month is October already. November coming in 2 weeks' time.

Anyway, i will still update my life here. Maybe its because of work, and some other personal commitments, that i may not time to come here to blog, but nonetheless , i will still keep this blog going, maybe 1 post/month?, so as to last through to my Uni days, when i will revive it AGAIN!.

I had passed my basic and final theory tests in a space of abt 30-35 days. simply because i applied through school.'HAHA'. its not cheap, but it certainly ensures u pass the hurdles of tackling theory of driving, so you wont worry too much about passing your test. but seriously speaking, for ppl who are 'A lvls' or 'poly' graduates, they really dun need to sign up thru sch, as based on their qualifications, they can ease thru the theory papers just by self-studying. However, its the lack of confidence in us, as we are not at all familiar with theory of driving, just like learning science in p3, when u dont noe anything about science.So just to be safe, pay more n get over it.(:

I have also started practical lessons, this time, learning from private instructors. After going for
some lessons, i really suggest private practical lessons. They teach on roads, not circuits.

Disadvantage is tat it is dangerous as you may not know how to handle the experienced drivers or road bullies on the road, since u r driving with a L plate, you may get nervous as many situations can happen on the road. But, ur instructor will always 'save' you from accidents.LOL.

Advantage is tat you are driving on main roads in the future, and not in circuits. So more practices on main roads are important, and also build ur confidence in handling situations on the road.:)

Anyway, i still got a long way to go b4 getting my license, as private students get their test dates later than sch students. Nevertheless, im not in a hurry!!:)


Thirdly, the beloved Team Leader of Delta, is leaving the team le. It is just saddening to hear this news, as he is leaving for some mission. I have just worked under him for abt one and half months, and despite some of his 'funny' rules of the team, he is a 'fatherly' figure of the team, and take care of his men well. This can be proved by wat he had said b4...'' Anything dunno, dun worry, call ur TL, i will answer for u, throw the sh*t to me, anything wrong, i still have my rank.'' WOW. this is the most noble person i have seen, and who is willing to protect you from troubles that will affect ur career. -salutes.
anyway, his understudy, who is taking over later, is not tat bad after all, as he came to APD around the same time as us, 126th intake.

125th intake guys have just promoted, tat means 3 more months for me b4 i get my rank + pay increase:).


1 more year to go b4 i ORD. 1 more year. i just cant wait!!!
now my frens are alr in uni, enjoying campus life, lectures exams...
Really cant wait to be a student again.
-wake up, go to school, find friends, lectures, ask questions, do projects, CCAs, play- student

-wake up, go to work, pray tat u dun get sh*t duties, pray tat everything go smoothly, cover ur ___, pray u dun get charged over minor/meaningless issues- NS.



'Always look on the bright side of life'

as compared to my army frens, i think im a little better than them alr, so i shan't complain too much(:

whee!. another entry in a month?..haha.

ok. it has been about 5 shifts since i moved over to Delta.
hmm, n in the early stages of me in Delta, i am always asked the old same questions..

'' how's delta compared to charlie?.. which one is better?..''

haha. its not an easy question to answer man..haha..

its just like u had left, for e.g. TPJC, where all ur friends n buddies are there.. for..e.g. TJC, which is a more renowed sch n with only some 'hi-bye' frens there..

ha..so how to answer?.. it is a neither here nor there.. Yes in ur mind, No in ur heart.. lol

so my answer is.. OK la..and end the conversation with a smile.haha.

and seriously, my time in delta is really short, n its not easy to noe everyone well.. but i think detla has a good n fatherly TL tat makes everyone feel comfortable in the team. And true enough, i did noe some of the ppl there.. even thou it's quite difficult at 1st..

but it is actually v easy with just a simple action tat not many ppl are willing to do it. :

SMILE:)

hehe. n yes. tats the comment i get from Charlie b4 i left them. They say i smile a lot, which i find it healthy!.haha. rather than frowning rite?..lol.

Based on scientific research, it is easier to smile than frowning ur eyebrows, as smiling uses less energy n exercise less muscles than frowning!.^^

n yES!. true enough, i just got a friend in delta, whom i am deceived to be just a NSman, maybe ard 20, but he is actually a regular officer at the age of 27. HAHA. it surprised me when he showed me his IC no. lol. n he also admitted that ppl always misjudge his age cos of his face. n he tell me this...

''You know why i look so young?.. cos im always happy, and u look younger when u r happy, and why is there the need to be angry?.''

And from an advice from a SI of 20 years of service, he told us 126th guys after we know our teams..

''No matter where you go, the most important thing is to blend well with ur team''

in other words.. adaptable..


WOW.
it seems like im giving a lesson of Life here..
n yes. im really giving a lesson of Life here.. which u cant learn from textbooks or lecture notes.
n this will be what worklife in the society is..
n to experience this.. u have to serve NS!.haha.

thus, NS prepares guys to face the cruelty of the real world outside..
provided tat they survive NS 1st.hehe..

ok..i just came back from night shift.haha. did patrol at BUDGET TERMINAL. it is the 1st time i've been there..ha. it's really BUDGET.haha. i think the public area of dept n arrival is about the size of 1/2 a soccer field?..haha.ya!.

ok.. its time for me to sleep lo!
good night all:)

hello.



things have been going well these past few weeks..

n everything has been going wat i expected.

yea. isnt tat good?..



i have been deployed to do mobile recently..n has also been building my profile in Team Charlie.

really.. mobile is more exciting than static posts.. i think alot will agree with me.haha.

i dun mind writing long logsheets, carrying heavy stuffs in n out of car, buying food for others..

but as long i can see different parts of airport, im satisfied alr:)



but the Apd management ah..

haizz..

duno why..

its 1st time i see NS guys change team.. for no real reason.

reason is...

unbalanced distribution of SC n SC/CPL into 4 teams..

haizz...



n sad enough..

im the unlucky one to get posted out..

n the reason i get frm WO..

he said its ' tikam ' by ocpet ..

n sad enough too..

timmy tan is leaving also..

waaa... really sian sia.

although it sounds abit gay la...

but we have been together since basic training-

same bunk bed side by side for basic training,

same bunk bed side by side for NPCO course,

same team C for APD..





till now..





haiz..nvm la.

to console myelf, we are still under the same division..

haiz...



so to conclude..

APD management ***

so now in team D..
im gonna build my profile again,
make new friends again..
noe abt the ppl n leaders in the team again...

but nevermind la.
as one of the MISSION in my sec sch, haising catholic's mission,
we must be Adaptive..

yea. maybe its a blessing in disguise for me,
but nevertheless, i will still miss my friends in team C..

mike quhan timmy dzul keatmeng samtiago monghni hafiz ridwan hysam taufik
S.lestution ernizam azhnee elfi danial khairill saifun harrisudin zaki and D D.

shift work has started!..

not too bad..n also not too good i think..hah

good-

1. only need to wake up early once in 4 days...

2. work fewer days than others..get $100 more for ops pay.

3. 2 days off to go out..even on weekdays.hehe

bad-

1. the 1st day off is used for sleeping mainly after the night shift.haha.not a real 1 day off..

2. long hrs man..got to hold on for 12 hrs.

3. not all weekends are free..may work on public holidays too.. for me.. NATIONAL DAY la!..still need to work..lol.

besides all these..

airport is a nice place to work in..

but it is also a place where u will become lazy n unfit easily..haha. seriously..

so for me..i gonna exercise on weekdays liao...

if not.......lol

anyway, i also got chance to take some pics from different places of airport..

some places are only accesible to airport personnels.hehe.

Finally!. the training is over!..

no more HTA for me.!.. no more 'left right left right ' for me!..haha.

wow. bunk 4 of NS03/07 is still the best la..haha.

finally all of us pass out from hta. no more NPCO or APO left behind.

whoho!. but FI binyang remain, but no as a trainee!.haha.

ok la. the feeling is jus so good. everyone come in together, some stayed another 3 months for NPCO, n in the end all pass n out of training camp. All went to their divisions n all the best to them!.

haha. anyway, im alr out from there on 13/7/07, but i jus post it out.haha. on 13/07/07, we also went to APD!. my posting for 1 1/2 more to ORD.haha. i have been there b4, so its not much of a problem. people are also nice, but i still have yet to see the true colours.hah.

lesson at APD are ending soon, teaching abt aviation security..haha.

n YA!. food at T2 is the BEST in airport i think.

mixed rice from ALLAN, and the fish n chip stall there. wow. n some other malay stalls selling chicken rice. i can tell u, these stalls will make u fat if u work in airport.haha.

but its ok for me i think..cos when shift starts, i may not be able to go there everyday.haha

alright,
