| A tropical island off Malaysia, Langkawi, the jewel of kedah state, is situated in the norther part of Malaysia and is minutes away from Thailand and to Penang island, an old british colonial island which I love for their food and majority chinese population. 
I was at Langkawi last month and finally I got the photos developed and they are sweet..photos taken with my 25mm agnes B. have a cool saturated colour to it. lovin it.       
I was sick for the first 3 days but you see that I still manage scuba diving and snorkelling.. I spent too much there, things are not that cheap, even scuba diving cost me RM300.. so please stay in a cheap hotel like I do. And I highly recommend Kedawang Beach Inn, fantastic service and very reasonably priced at RM90 per night. I got all the help I needed while I was sick and the receptionist was sincerely worried about me, thats why the big tip for her ;) Imma generous man oright. | | |
| Which part of a grown up is fun? To be able to do things that kids can't do? I always wanted to grow up so quickly because I was always lost between shelves, crying for my mum, always wishing that I could look over them and find my parents. Want to stop studying and go to work? Who were we kidding? I look at a student and I already miss those time where I see my friends every single day. The staying back in school. Detention. Extra curriculum. Met up with my PMS buncha friends and it always bring back memories..its been a decade and we never change one bit, maybe some of us grew larger. But still the same ;) the same old familiar faces. Glad. glad to have them close to heart. Here's me at Port Dickson last saturday...long story...to get there was already an adventure. And hey, I love my haircut, nothing's gonna change my mind. (In case you're wondering, I've got comments from everybody,"what happened to your hair?!It looks.......!!!" oh...."I went for a hair cut.....duh?and I happen to like it.")  
** * *** ** ** **** ** * *** ** *** * ** **** ** ** * ***** *** **** **** *** To paint is to picture, an image reflected from the painter's heart, through the medium of his body and a brush, the strokes depict and emphasis. I have a problem with painting my peonies...craps...I have never seen a peony my entire life! But I guess the problem lies with the medium, obstructing art from happening. I'm not gonna show it until I perfect it..so..just you wait..its gonna look like this soon.

| Funny I can remember the same moment 5 years ago on 0909, a way much better night...when I was only 17, when love is in the air. army's over, life change, starting with the hair, when the hair style changes, lifestyle changes. Need a job, need to look forward to a degree, need a goal. I can't blog anymore, nothing's interesting anymore..cept for my painting, or my short travels, I guess I need to put in some effort into remembering them sometimes. Anyway, I need to sit on this thought of studying abroad, in Adelaide, AUS, it will be fun, 1.5years for a degree, only worries me is the racism I might face there. A friend got mugged, but he's sure its not a racial issue, still I don't wanna get mugged. Haven't really been in a racial sensitive situation, maybe because I haven't travelled out of asia...yet... I search for racism in oz and I manage to find so many! Thats what they mean by "if you look for trash, most probably you'll find trash" 
I love peonies...painting classes brought me closer to this "flower of riches and honour", haha, chinese culture, shows in the character of the chinese people. Translated into paintings, crafts, embedded in history, and carried down to generations after generations. The smell of ink, the smell of the art of the written language and the swift strokes of masters. Its painting class tmr ;) thats why its getting me so excited. Happy O nine!! | | |
| Today was a bad day to begin with, so many vehicles to repair with, got down and dirty with engine oil and dirt. It feels so different when I'm working on the vehicles, I could lie on the ground inspecting the undercarriage, crawl around the tarmac because it is cleaner than myself. But after work, I become such a hygiene freak, I scrub every dirt in my nails, clean my face, put on new clothes and "VIOLA" back to me. Anyway, the main reason for this post is to get this real aching feeling off my chest. A moment of folly, a slip of my tongue actually, caused me this great distress. Situation: Unit celebration, gathering at HQ, Commanding Officer(CO) speech(rank-Major). CO : "Thank you guys for working so hard, this celebration is for you guys, get together and enjoy, talk to each other!" Me : "Yea, might as well fuck each other too"(normal conversational volume to a fellow campmate) (Glanced across the table------FUCK SHIT!!!! Its my OC!!!(rank-Captain))(and he damn well heard what I said because he is just across me)) (10mins passed after I said that, OC turned and looked at me, took a photo in his memory, and turned back) I clenched my teeth, I stopped breathing, my blood rushed to my face, all I could think of is "I'm so fuckin dead"! I have no idea what was going through my head but, hey, it's not something your OC should hear about. It was just a bad day, I was just angry that we had to do some stupid celebration with bad food after working hours because I'm so tired and I want to sleep. Pleasepleaseplease let nothing progress from that. I was hoping he laughed it off... -_- he didn't. This ranting is not helping too much, I need to sleep, but each time I close my eyes, that scene flashes back like a fly that just can't get enough flying around you.God, give me good sleep. soldier, Chai | | |
| My time in the army is going over soon, pretty much steer out of the track of life I imagine myself having when I turn 20. Now I'm 21, going 22, tick tock. It is time to pace myself back to this, reflecting and trying to get goals right. Being in the army didn't allow my to blog much due to the nature of a military org, but this much I can say, I have gone through conditions I've never imagine myself achieving, learn things that I might never use in life but excel in the army, and picked up a really relevant skill as a mechanic while I was in the army. Today FEB15 is our Total defense day, the fateful day when Japanese invaded Singapore and did whatever they did to the whole world, fucked us up real bad and made us realize how important it is to protect ourselves because during war, who else will. JUNE, time to count down JUNE13 will be the day I'll be Operationally Ready(ORDay), to "graduate" from army and carry on with my civilian lifestyle. How am I gonna survive in this economy glooom?! haha, some say sign-on to the army...I say no way. So what will I be doing after I ORD, everyone is asking and I just go "I don't know, study I guess?" yea, politically correct and people stop asking. But I really wanna travel around, meet my relatives in malaysia I haven't seen for so long, meet new people on the way and discover new places. 1) Getting a Cruiselinejob 2) Applying for a job with Singapore Airlines 3) Study at UNLV(University of Neveda Las Vegas)(Singapore)
Decisions decisions.I thought the army made me learn how to make right decisions.Guess not applicable to real life huh. ;P dang, hate the book-in to camp part, nite fellas, CorPoraL CHAI | | |
