It had definitely been long since I last blogged.
Graduation from Republic Polytechnic took place a few months back in May 2010 and I must say that I missed school. Started working for about 6 months at Highachievers Training Consultancy as a Learning and Development Consultant, going to school conducting workshop to students. Working here gives me a great sense of satisfaction, knowing that I am positively impacting life of the youths.
I am left with one more month before I enter into my long awaited holidays but it will not be long before I enlist into army on the 8/11/10. My buddies would have served more than a year in NS already when I enlist and it will be a long 1 year 10 months to go!
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to the year 2012 because I will finally be studying the course I had always wanted to study, ACCOUNTANCY! Effort put in during my Diploma definitely paid off!
During my free time, I am helping to co-organize Special Olympics Singapore Family Day 2010, taking place this October. Properly the last event I will be involved before enlisting to NS. Personally, I find it self-fulfilling to be able to do something for those who are less fortunate and of course, for those of you who are interested to involve in this event as volunteers, do feel free to contact me @ 91147989. No monetary rewards but I can guarantee you that what you get in return can never be bought by money!
For badminton coaching, I passed 2 classes to You Long and Jason for 2 reasons – (1) I did not want to burn my weekends, (2) eventually, I will be enlisting for NS. I am glad they are doing a great job otherwise; I would not know how to answer to Alan, the founder of Precision Badminton! I had been thinking for quite some time, thinking about us starting our business together one day. Though it will not take place any time soon nevertheless, it is good to give it a thought!
This coming weekend will be love and my second year anniversary. We definitely have come a long way to where we are today. Our relationship is kind of smooth and I am sure this will continue! I was listening to the radio this morning and 98.7fm played 'Fall For You' by Secondhand Serenade! The song which brought us together! For the first time, I finally get to know the story behind why the singer calls himself Secondhand Serenade. Let me share!
John Vesely, his real name, who was playing base before he met his wife. He switched to playing acoustic guitar because he thought that playing the base will not allow him to serenade his wife. His wife eventually married him but the songs he wrote for her and till now, every single song written, is specially dedicated to his wife (first hand). Therefore, for those people like us, we are listening to the ‘secondhand’ and at the same time, being serenaded by John Vesely. There we go, the story behind the name Secondhand Serenade. Isn’t this interesting?
Not sure with you will be still reading my blog since it had been collecting dust but this goes out specially to you. I may not be good with my voice, my words even my look, but what I can do for you; I will do it with all my heart and soul!
Tomorrow is my mother’s birthday! 51 years old and she is still the most beautiful woman of all in my life! Thinking about how she devoted her life to this family, especially to my sister and me, I know that I owe her way too much. It is not about what present I will get for her that she matters, it is how my sister and me turn up to be fine young man and woman, doing well in life. This year, I have not got anything for her because giving necklace, bags or other common items does not bring across my love for her. Maybe, getting her a bouquet of roses Carnation would be sweet! Most likely, we will be bringing her to De’ Beer at D’ Kranji Farm Resort for seafood! Thinking of the food makes me hungry.
Speaking of which, De’ Beer at D’ Kranji Farm Resort is definitely a must visit place if you have not been to there before. Here is the website, you might want to take a look: http://www.dkranji.com.sg/
Here are some recommendations:
1. Lala Bee Hoon (Must Try!)
2. Salted Egg Crab (about $36-$40 for small crab)
3. Drunkard Prawns (Request for more soup, it’s FOC!)
4. Dong Fen Crab
5. Xiang Bing Pai Gu (Pork)
6. And many more…
Look for this aunty, slight plump (Singaporean), most likely you will not miss her. She is very friendly and will recommend delicious food!
Also, if you would like to have a farm stay, D’ Kranji Farm Resort, just by looking at its name, explains that they do have such facility. Resort stay for 3D2N is about $200++ and some of the things which you can do would be as follow (OTOT):
1. Visiting Jurong Frog Farm – look at the cute frogs and can buy some home
2. Hey Dairies Goat Farm – though I think they do not allow feeding of milk to the goats already
3. Bollywood Veggies – you can find many species of plants there! A must try finger food would be the banana muffin! You will not regret!
4. For you to explore Lim Chu Kang, Singapore
Disclaimer: I do not work for D’ Kranji Farm Resort and other companies mentioned above! Just wanted to share with my personal experience with every one!
Also, I would like to share my joy and everyone!
