life's random ramblings at dome.

Life as it is right now feels quite unfulfilling (is there such a word, dunno, ee pls help me check, happy birthday too!). I concluded that life's unfulfilling cause there's nothing to fulfill. I've a lack of goals and aims, and therefore with nothing to fulfill, I feel unfulfilled. Bad, vicious cycle. I need some goals!

I realize that I need to discipline myself. I need to do QT everyday, I need to exercise every few days, I need to write in my journal more frequently, I need to do loads of things that I'm currently not doing, Bleh... Bad boy! I go to jail!

Things that make me smile and be happy.
1. Carrying my nephew and watching him do the most random things, like sleep, drink milk, struggle to get out of his swaddling cloth.
2. Having meals with the whole family.
3. Reading happy things, like my sisters' blogs.
4. Driving and Riding alone.
5. Being around happy people who I love alot.
6. Sitting down at starbucks, coffee bean, or dome to read and write.
7. Enjoying great scenery.
8. Playing ultimate.

This is so random...

ACAMM


ACAMM (ASEAN Chief of Army Multilateral Meeting) is finally over. I spent the last 5 days from sunday to thursday at Swissotel at Raffles City feeling important in my neatly ironed long sleeved shirt and nicely tied ties, ushering big shots from all over South East Asia, and making sure that their walk from the front porch to their rooms are as smooth as possible.

It was quite an experience, sure it was boring at times where I spent hours at MPH reading hellgate and motor culture, and at the holding room sleeping. Sure it was exhausting cause I had to wake up at unearthly hours to reach the hotel at 0700, and only left the place after 2130, exhausted. However, I had to learn and experience some cool stuff like having free meals at the Equinox and Marketplace Cafe, and also seeing how the different armies from the various countries interact with each other. For example, subordinates from all the countries except Singapore were really scared and timid around their superiors, even a 2 star general was scared in the midst of a 3 star one. Only our COA looked fit. haha.

To end ACAMM off with a big bang, we chilled at Timbre and played lan after that, cool stuff.

babies praise God too!


I remember when my sisters and I were young, Mummy used to tell us to raise our hands upwards while we slept so that while we were sleeping, we could praise God too.

I was at Ee's place looking at Ern sleep and he was raising his hands in the upwards while he slept! Haha!

Psalms 8: 2b says that from the lips o children and infants you have ordained praise!

Looks that this is no new concept. Praise you in my sleep Lord! :D

a talk w dad

I was sitting down in the salon reading reader's digest when my dad came and sat down beside me. I decided to ask him what has been on my mind for very long, "why he doesn't allow me to ride a bike". So summing up all my courage, I asked him the question, and he replied. Dad said that he can only advise me, and that I can do anything I want as long as I am responsible for the consequences. He said that riding a bike is very dangerous and that no matter how careful a rider you are, it is still more dangerous riding a bike as compared to a car.

So matters are quite cleared up now that I know that my dad 'allows' me to buy a bike. Now, what's the next step?
