December 16th, 2012 "Just One Last Time"

Having lots of short work weeks due to clearing our off in lieu and leaves this month. Enjoying every single bit of it everyday i am outside camp. Booked out on Wednesday night due to 1 Guards Recruitment on Thursday morning. Waited for S to get off work then we grabbed dinner and watched Step Up at home on Wednesday night till she had to go home since she has work the next day. So slept in on Thursday until S got off work then we spent a little more time with each other before I had to book in that evening since I had guard duty on Friday. After finished my duty on Saturday morning, went back home got some rest then met up Sin to buy our bus tickets to KL finally! So it's confirmed December 19th-22nd with the 6 boys, me, Sin, Szeto, Stanley, Daryl and Guansan! Damn exited for the trip, gonna take this 4D3N to chill out, spend some good time with the bros and probably do some shopping! Anyways, after meeting up with Sin, booked a movie for me and S at town then went to fetch S from work. Well she ended up getting off work a bit later then usual due to not enough man power at work so we missed our movie but its okay, it's just a movie really but I kept teasing her for missing the movie anyways cause seeing her reaction was damn cute haha. Anyways, we grabbed dinner at PS Manhattan Fish Market, even though I don't like to eat fish, but once in a while its not too bad. At dinner, she mom was messaging her, asking her why dont she date more guys when so she can choose which guy to pick and from the looks of it, looks like her mother don't really like me right now. Well the thing is that she don't know me yet. I believe once her mother get to know who I am, she will know that her daughter is in good hands. I will prove to her that I am a good man and will take good care of her daughter, I can promise her that. After dinner we walked to Cine since she wanted to do a little shopping at H&M, my crazy shopper girl haha then headed back home and watched Twilight New Moon together before we fall asleep. Nights like these are the ones that I really treasure. Clubbing and drinking gets tiring after a while, and i was always that stay home and cuddle type of guy anyways. We woke up in the morning since she had to go for work, then I went back to sleep till the late afternoon and accidentally overslept. Didn't get a chance to Skype mom for 2 weeks now. Went to run some errands after I woke up and waited for S to get off work :) Grabbed dinner at Ajisen IMM together then went home and watch half of The Notebook! The movie never gets old, hits my soft spot every single time. Before I booked in had an heart to heart talk with S, and honestly I'm glad that she came to my life. I really hope that in time she will be the one for me. Just gonna take things slow for now, don't wanna rush into anything too fast. I want to make sure that I will fall in love for the right reasons with her and hope that we can have a real future and grow old together. Im dead serious about wanting to be with this girl. Dont want to waste anymore time on the wrong person. Only time will tell now.

December 9th, 2012 "Busy December.. "

Another week passes by, less than 9 more months til I finish my service in army. Really starting to think my life through now since time is running out soon. Well it was a short work week to begin with since I cleared most of my offs. Booked out on Wednesday after nights out, went home and waited for S to get off work then we went to met up Szeto and Sin and head to Zouk for ladies night! Basically spent the whole Thursday sleeping in and waiting for S to get off work, when she got off work we got dinner together and chill over at my place. Friday was my recovery day, run all my errands, chill at home, blogged and catch up on my tv shows then Saturday was the main event of the week, it was Joelyn's 21st birthday celebration. We went to Zirca for Spread Love with her groupie and Sin. Well I cant really say it was a great night cause things didnt go as planned, wasted time outside trying to figure out what to do most of the time. Luckily had Sin and S accompany me and to make that a fun night. Seeing Sin spitting at random people, taking people's bottles and beer and stuff haha. In a way we all need this kind of people around us to make us laugh when you need someone to be there. Ended up linking up with Ray's group too with Linus, Jon, Ben, and Zef at Zirca that night. So actually it didnt turn out to be that bad of a night afterall :) After the club, had a heart to heart talk with S back at home until the morning then she fell asleep in my arms. I woke up around noon the next day to run some errands, bought S KOI and breakfast while she was still sleeping, got home and turn on Skype to wait for mommy to call then went back to sleep next to S. Spent the day with her before she had to go for dinner with her family then I prepared myself for to book in. Well that's the sort of a brief of my week. Looking at my schedule this month, December is gonna be a semi-packed month definitely. Having my batallion annual leave from Dec. 19th- Jan. 2nd, and really looking forward for my KL trip with the boys, Sin & Szeto on 19th-22nd of December. Nothing crazy planned, just need a getaway and chill the fuck out with the boys for a couple days. After coming back from KL, will be busy settling stuff for the new house. Need to go to PUB and housing development board to change everything under my name, and hopefully everything goes as planned can start to move in after Christmas! :) After that its all about furniture shopping and redesigning my new home. Really looking forward to have my own house back! One more month till a new year, a new year means a new start.

December 2nd, 2012 "It's About Damn Time.."

Quanman, Sin, Zhiwei & Me at Skypark MBS

Me in the hotel room :)

QM, Sin, Wendy & Me

What a weekend, where to begin really haha. Well lets start with Friday, November 30th. Was feeling a bit down at home, so went over to Szeto's house, chilled with him and Michelle until they started work. Then decided to go out grab a drink or two at Winebar by myself but then luckily had some company to join me, Ray, Yao Jun, Aloysius, Joelyn and Sharalyn and 2 of their friends! :) At first we started drinking outside, 2 bottles of Jager & half an bottle of Skyy Vodka for 8 people. After that they went to Winebar drink some more, then drink more at Phuture.. Hectic night at Zouk I tell ya, almost everyone was a little too much to drink but luckily I was the sober one as usual taking care of people haha. Guest DJ's R3HAB & Mitch Crown was in the house that night, guest dj's are as awesome as always! Definitely a night that I wont forget :) .. Anyways, December 1st was Wendy's 21st celebration at Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Another awesome night, another drink, drank, drunk type of night. Started drinking in the hotel room, met some new people, all kinds of people actually from businessmen to army regulars. Spend some quality time with two of closest friend Kelvin and Quanman and finally went to Skypark after wanting to go for the longest time! The view up there is truly breath taking, Singapore is really such a beautiful country if you really think about it. I'm really gonna miss here after NS. Towards midnight, we hit the club, Club Avalon at MBS. Well the truth was that I wasnt really digging the music and the crowd there but I did drank like a madman that night though. It felt like as in there were free flow of Champagne & Martel all night long, my glass was never empty haha. After the club, we went back to the hotel room, drank some more since there was half a cannon left of Martell leftover with those crazy ADF fellas. Made us all drink like it was water. Anyways, ended up chilling in the hotel room until 8-9 in the morning since we couldnt get a cab home due to the Standard Charted Marathon that was going on that morning. Went home, got about 2 hours of rest then had to wake up to Skype my mommy to talk about some important stuff. After sorting out some stuff with mom, went back to taking a nap and waited for S to get off work and grabbed dinner together before I had to book in :)

With the birthday girl again w/ her lychee martini cake.

At Avalon, a bit tipsy as you can see haha

My ride or die bros. Only missing Szeto

Anyways I have some great news to announce! Finally after about two and a half - three years of renting a room in Singapore. Im finally getting my Lakeside house back finally! Woohoo! It's about fucking time. Well the housing development board realized that my house have been renting out to people for over 10 years+ and we have actually live in the house for only about 2 years. So they basically said that in order for me to keep renting the house out, I have to personally stay there for another 3 years. The law in Singapore is that before you can rent or sell your house you must stay in your house for a minimal of 5 years. Well in a way it's good news for now, since I can finally have my own house back but in a way its more headaches for me, more bills to pay, more things to worry for, another thing is that after army in September, I have no idea what to do with the house at the moment since when I return back to US we couldnt rent out the unit anymore until I live there for a total of 5 years.. Headache headaches. Oh well not trying to think too much about it at the moment, just gonna go with the flow for now and just be happy that I got my own house back finally. Worry more about it prior to ORD and hopefully come up with a plan by then. Well I really cant wait to move in, and redesign the whole house to my own comfort just the way I like it, buy new furniture, new electronics and stuff to make it more of a home to me since the last three years living in Singapore I didnt feel like I had a home. Well enough about the house, anyways I have another good news from back in the states. Parents finally bought a new restaurant, well bought over someone's else business in Denver officially starting from December 15th. A chinese-thai cuisine near 6th & Broadway. "Hoong's Gate Asian Grill" What a cheesy fucking name, its such a typical chinese restaurant name. Oh well from what my parents told me, the business in the past is not bad, and its an established name in the community, especially delivery wise. Lets just hope that business is good, so once I get back to the states I can help them out with the restaurant so my parents can have their early retirement. Anyways its about time for my turn to work my ass off, im ready to give everything I got on the business, work hard now, enjoy my life later. Who knows, maybe if business is outstanding, maybe open my own outlet and name it Penang or so! Haha. Thinking too far again, we'll see how things go. Realized that im sort of putting my life at pause at the moment due to army, and also thinking about it, time is really flying, 9 more months til im done with my service in the army. It's gonna go past so fast, before I know it I will be in the plane back to the states! :) On the real though really looking forward to the next 9 months in Singapore, gonna keep myself happy in the meantime, do the things I need to do before going back to US and working 7 days a week to make that money!

November 25th, 2012 "New Tattoo, The Love Bird.. "

Getting ink by Wilson @ Time's Tattoo

The end product. My love bird the Swallow.

3/4 done :)

Late night meal during Guard Duty

Nothing much really happened this weekend due to guard duty. Weekend was like totally burnt, two guard duties this weekend due to not enough man power in the platoon and how 50% of the duties in the Battalion is being pushed to Support Coy. By right we should of booked out on Thursday as a reward of good performance and winning the best combat proficient company in ATEC 1 but I had guard duty on Thursday. So after a long night of duty with GuanSan, finally went for my tattoo appointment on Friday morning at Wilson's shop! :) Finally gotten my swallow tattoo after planning it for so long. Although it might not blend in well with the dragon and koi for now but once I slowly add on to my sleeve, hopefully it will look awesome. Well the reason I got the swallow inked is mainly of "love", since I got the word love inked on my left arm I realized I needed something to represent love too since I had the koi for luck, and dragon for inner strength. Hopefully the love bird will bring "the one" to me one day haha. Well planning to get another swallow inked on the other side since it looks nicer as a pair. Next projects will probably be a rose in the elbow, the quote "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday", then follow by the Guards logo with Recon tab! A handful of pain ahead of me for sure! Well never club this weekend due to letting the new ink recover properly so just went to watch a late night movie with Sin on Friday night, yes just us 2 guys, a bromance date for sure. We watched the movie Argo. Damn suspenseful I tell you! It's about the 6 American that was held hostage in Iran and how they manage to snuck them back to the states without getting caught. Awesome movie that was based on a true story. After the movie we went to eat supper at Spize at River Valley, wanted to pick up Szeto from work and discuss about the KL trip but he took forever so we just left. Woke up the next morning, had lunch with Sin then chilled with Szeto and Michelle before they had to go to work. Then booked in back on Saturday night due to guard duty on Sunday. What a boring weekend, well at least got a new ink so thats something interesting that happened at least. Anyways damn lucky that both days of duties Thursday and Sunday was appointed as prowler for guard duty instead of sentry so time was passing by much faster. Thank god! Well another week passes by, hopefully next week will be an interesting one. Good night world! :)

Singaporean Style Breakfast before ink session!
