It's so lucky of me to escape from duty on Christmas eve and new year eve. Ha, I must be so blessed.
Today Chief AIS talked to me regarding my life on-board ship. I was kind of shocked. Initially, I thought what kind of crap is he trying to play again... Ended up as some sort of serious chat. My surprise came from the fact that actually someone there cares about how I really feel all these while... I mean I've already trying my best to convince myself that whatever fucked up things that happen, I'll just take it in my stride since I will treat all that as my work or service in NS. After that, I'll just scram off and shoo... All the nasty things are out of my mind. That's what I thought. I couldn't really voice out how touched I was to know that actually someone cares. So should I start to change my view of the rest of the days in NS? Can I really feel like a part of the ship?
Visited Staff Lee today. His face was scratched red with a few prominent scars, other than that, he seemed okay. But the serious part of his injury is actually with his internal bleeding of organs over the past few days. He told me that it stopped now and should be able to discharge tomorrow. Well, he takes everything so firm and steady and as if he's really ready for anything. That kind of spirit is something that I always look up to.
Bought the "Secret" album. Very satisfied with the quality of her dvd album. The music videos are very colourful and lively. However, some parts are very westernised which I thought that she's very influenced by the western culture and thus the MVs are that way.

Ha.. Think I'll either be doing duty on Christmas eve or Christmas that day. No choice, that's life in NS. I think I'm getting along just fine with the ship crews and I really feel blessed sometimes that things in life are not all that bad. Wonder if there's truly god who watches over me. Hee, it's just easier to believe there is.
I'm just kind of worried for my brother at this stage. It seems that his character is very much different. More aggressive, impulsive, selfish, arrogant, domineering these days. I'm worried whether such traits will worsen further on in his life. It seems as though it's a stage under puberty but I thought he's beyond that stage. But maybe it's his mind that's undergoing some psychological change in his teenage years? I've been through that stage but I still can't seem to guide him... Wonder if it's best to just leave him as he is or continue to try to guide him along...
Went Malaysia last week. My cousin's oversea marriage took place in Port Dickson but my family and I had the chance to tour briefly other areas in Malaysia such as Malacca. It was a tour bus that I remember sitting in all the time. I didn't expect that kind of trip. Thought will be staying over at a place more often. Aunt planned this for everyone to have a short tour along the trip. But the trip was reasonably ok since it wasn't meant to be a shopping trip in the first place.
That's my brother playing his psp happily on his bus. Well.. to each his own... I get bored doing the same thing over. Seems like I've grown to become more impatient eh?
Anyway, it was my first time watching and hearing crackers explode at such a near distance. The noise is blaring loud, made me feel deaf for a short time after. Ha... Actually, I feel that it's ok for crackers to be allowed in Singapore.
I hate myself for becoming so forgetful every now and then. I kept on forgetting to bring camera at the important moments. I only managed to get a few shots of memories back there. Some were even from my hand phone in shaky motion. Lol, how pathetic.
This was taken by my phone at the wedding place. 
It's kind of like a restaurant near the seaside. The venue was chosen and sponsored by Chuck's parents so I suppose my cousin had little say about the wedding style over at Malaysia. These photos are of my cousin's "jie meis" and me. Feel so honoured that they wanted to take photo with me.
Anyway, here's other photos of Chuck and Karin. I think holding the skirt for bride is quite a worthwhile job. Joemin had gotten about $50 just for that. Oh, how come I never had the opportunity to help wedding couples open door and earn extra bucks... Ha... Oh I learned that drinking much water at night will make yourself look bulgy especially at the eye regions due to water retention. Interesting, isn't it?
The food in Port Dickson didn't much interest me due to the additional influence of flying creatures. Lots and lots of houseflies. The number that they come in is so much more that I think probably surpasses any lousy hawker health standard in Singapore. Not trying to be biased but that's just what I saw. However, I'm not too particular or fussy in that when I'm hungry. Feeding oneself is still important. Ha.
*Will continue the update later.. Watch out for this post. Thanks.. :D

Another post up and coming... Now it's here. Ha, not much new things to bring up actually. Did a few stupid stuff. I've got to do a safety poster by this week too. Can't think of a slogan yet...
Great news for psp homebrew lovers. Look! 3.01 can be emulated fully on devhook! Wonder what Sony's counter-reaction will be. That's its latest firmware at the moment and the hackers are at that s
peed of development. Considering the tight constraint running their personal life and contributing to the homebrew community concurrently, I must really respect them for their hardwork. Check out Pspupdates for more information.
Did a stupid photoshop image of myself. The one portion I'm quite happy is with the artificial hair I created by strokes of mouse movement. (Not tablet, mind you, ha) It was after much pondering that I decided to put a face in after doing the hair. Much adjustments have to be made for face size and shadows. Comments please! I'm not too pro so don't be too harsh on me all right? o_O! Maybe I'll do a better job next time. :X
Next up is the introduction of thi
s person known as Angela Aki. Known her because she sings for FFXII's theme song, "Kiss me goodbye". Her voice is nice, strong and soothing. Only that she has her own sense of music and the overall feel of song doesn't feel too "FF" for that game. Okay, maybe that's just my feelings about the song. She's another "Utada" who can sing for both english and japanese version of that song. She doesn't look much like a japanese to me actually, ha. I suppose the direction of final fantasy in the future will probably engage professionals that are bilingual in both of these languages since it's going to be best-selling in these 2 regions especially new singers for future titles?
Today I tried to apply leave through the system. What would be good for the force didn't occur to me. I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out why there's problem occuring to my account suddenly and having to go through the "ancient" method of using paper leave forms instead. I got to find this and that person just to get a form signed. That doesn't mean that the issue is closed. I found out later that I still need to inform my chief to contact someone to get my account working. (Did this confuse anyone?) But I doubt I'll see my chief any earlier due to leave clearance. Anyway, I also found out that many had applied leaves during christmas period and had been approved. That means probably I'll be singing carols in camp with other ship crews... Oh, that's pretty pathetic I think.
Found out that my mum's under lots of stress recently. She didn't tell me. I discovered that myself and tried to console her today. I'm getting more empathetic I realise. I just hope that my brother will grow mature and be understanding to my mum so that it'll be a happy family every day.
